Chapter 382: The Price of Betrayal
"Whew......" Andrew looked nervous, his whole body tensed, he didn't even dare to breathe too much, and exhaled carefully.
The scout closest to him hovered more than twenty meters above him. At the same time, on the ground, more than a dozen land mechanical soldiers in charge of the investigation approached the house.
"No life fluctuations detected." One of the soldiers spoke, coldly, without the slightest emotion.
"Go inside the house and check and match the owner of the house in the system."
"Yes!" These mechanical warriors entered the interior of the house one after another, activated various scanning systems, and carried out an all-round inspection of the entire house.
Seeing this, Andrew couldn't help but rejoice. Luckily, he had only retched and hadn't spit out, otherwise he would have been spotted as abnormal now.
Fortunately, Su Xia took away the place where they had sit, otherwise the residual temperature left behind would definitely be detected.
It seemed that the mechanical soldiers were just doing a routine check, and they left the house not long after.
"The owner of the house died two years ago."
"Go ahead, there's a human gathering place ahead, enter the gathering place and search for suspicious people!" A scout flying above gives the command.
After system matching, they found out that the owner of the house had already died. The mechanical creatures then moved away from the area and continued to probe ahead.
"They're gone." Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid of being caught by the automaton. Of course, he was also afraid of being targeted by the group's people.
Compared to the Cymbs and the Collective, the masked monster is so benevolent, after all, he still seems to be reasonable.
At least, Susha was still willing to let him live. Andrew still has a lot of information about the Left Eye Group in his head, and as long as he doesn't finish the day, he can live one more day.
"My lord, where are we going next?" Andrew asked.
"Stay here." Susha said.
"Ah...... Oh, the place that has been searched once, it seems to be close to the mechanical soldiers, but it is actually the safest place. Andrew reacted quickly and approved of Susha's choice.
It's called dark under the lights, unless those mechanical creatures kill back their pistols. But with Su Xia's reaction speed, even if they came back, Su Xia could sense it in time and take the two of them away.
"My lord, are these robots looking for you?" Andrew had some guesses in his heart, but did not confirm it, and asked more mouthfully.
Rewn
"Otherwise, could it be that I'm looking for you?" Su Xia asked rhetorically.
"No, no, I don't have that much energy." Andrew hurriedly shook his head,
"It seems that your Excellency has beaten them up in Seahorse City and let them know how powerful you are."
"Perhaps."
"You're amazing, for so many years, almost no one has been in the ...... of the mechanical clan like you."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Su Xia's voice was cold, and he directly interrupted Andrew's compliment. As an outstanding young man who grew up in the new era, he is strong-willed, and this kind of compliment has long been useless to him.
Andrew's neck shrunk, realizing that he had said too much, which made Su Xia dissatisfied, so he immediately closed his mouth and returned to his previous state, carefully observing Su Xia's micro-expressions.
Su Xia carried him back to the room, still standing by the window. He continued the previous conversation: "Do you have any other way to find the source of those arms supplies?" Andrew was stunned: "My lord, isn't it possible to speculate...... Is it a gathering place for eagles? ”
"Only those who have evidence can speculate, and those who have no evidence are called blind guesses."
"Your Excellency, you are really serious."
"It is related to the unity of the two large gathering places within the human race, and it has to be rigorous." Su Xia was about to go to Dragon City after finishing his work here, and he had to use all the advantages he had to get as much information as possible.
After arriving in Dragon City, he had to not only talk to his old father, but also find a way to quell the so-called rumors.
Only by stabilizing the rear can Su Xia develop his organizational power without any worries, and then further cultivate the players.
He wants to create a grand occasion where hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of players will attack the Automaton! At present, the player is the hope of the human race in this world to turn the tables.
And the premise of all this is the stability of the rear of the human race. Andrew's face was embarrassed, and he thought for a while, and then said, "My lord, the next batch of munitions will arrive at midnight tomorrow, and I was supposed to go to the dock to receive it, but now it is probably replaced by my previous deputy." ”
"What are you trying to express?" Susha looked at him. Rewn
"Before unloading, if you can catch the person in charge of a few cargo ships without noticing, you may be able to get some news from him about the cargo supplier."
"At which pier?" Susha asked.
"Wan Chai Pier."
“……”
"What's wrong with you, sir?"
"Nothing, a food came to mind." Su Xia waved his hand,
"When the group learns that you ran away, will you change the time, place and other information of the arrival?"
"Unlikely, everything was written in the contract." Andrew replied: "Moreover, now that the mechanical clan has suddenly blocked the whole city, they can only enter but not exit, and every plane, cargo ship, car, etc. that comes in needs to report to the mechanical clan, and it is difficult to change the location temporarily, and the mechanical clan will not allow it." ”
"Is that so?" Su Xia pondered.
"Yes." Andrew explains,
"Moreover, since munitions are prohibited goods, the merchants who deliver the goods do not dare to apply to the mechanical family to change the unloading location at all, and only dare to proceed according to the original plan." The transaction between the two parties is very straightforward, taking the common yin-yang contract.
On the surface of a contract, it is written
"Frozen Fish",
"Seafood" and other materials are used to cope with inspections. The contract behind the scenes is the arms known to both parties, and the contract specifies the real type of goods and the transaction price.
"Can't they go back the way they came?" Susha asked. Rewn
"My lord, the entire sea area is under the control of the mechanical deep diver camp, it's impossible." Andrew also knew the three major camps of the mechanical race, so he said to Susha.
"After unloading, will it be checked by the mechanical family?"
"Not before, the mechanics were too lazy to care about this, but this time it may not be, it depends on luck."
"Hmm......" Su Xia touched his chin, he really wanted to find the mastermind behind the rumors in Dragon City, but now it seemed that it was a little difficult.
Tomorrow night, when the goods arrive, once they are inspected by the mechanical clans and found to be prohibited goods, the person who delivers them on board will definitely be detained.
And it was impossible for Su Xia to snatch people from the mechanical clan. Rewn
"My lord, I'm just giving an opinion, and it may not be possible." Andrew suddenly spoke: "Most of the people who transport the goods don't know the true source of the goods, they are just middlemen in charge of shipping, even if we can quietly catch a few of their people, it may be ...... I can't ask for valuable information. ”
"Well, you're right." Su Xia nodded, not denying it. It can only be said that the opponent is too cautious and does things without leaving traces, and it is difficult to find the source.
Unless you slowly trace it up, continue to check up from that shipping company, catch the person who connects with this company, and then go up again...... It's a hassle and takes a lot of time and patience.
What Su Xia has is patience, but what she lacks most is time.
"Try your luck tomorrow night!" Su Xia made up her mind that even if she couldn't catch the person from the shipping company tomorrow night, she would have to take a look.
His greatest strength comes from his own eyes. It would be great if you could see useful information in the personal descriptions of those employees.
"My lord, what are we going to do now?" Andrew looked around, did he want to stay in this room forever?
"You've been operating in this city for many years, do you have a suitable hiding place?" Su Xia asked him. Rewn
"I used to prepare a ......" Andrew was cautious and kept a lot of back hands for himself. He had a safe house deep underground in the suburbs, where he stored enough supplies to live for several years.
But since the group had been tracking him seven years earlier, they must have known the location of his safe house, so it wasn't safe either.
"Just a safe house?" Susha looked at him.
"No, no, there are actually several, one of which is even underwater, but they should all be known to the group." Andrew said hurriedly.
"Okay then, go straight to the house where you often stay." Rewn
"Huh?" Andrew was stunned, and he wanted to play with the dark under the light? Within the group, his current state is:
"Destroyed" still
"Missing" or
"Defection"? Will someone stay in his house and wait for the rabbit?
"My lord, won't there be a problem?" Andrew was anxious, he didn't want to go back, for fear of being captured by the group.
"What are you afraid of?" Su Xia asked him rhetorically,
"Who can take you from me?"
"That's what I said...... "Gou."
"Then don't talk about it!"
"Good...... All right. In this way, the location of the next hiding place was simply and rudely solved.
Of course, Su Xia would not go straight over without a brain. He will check the surroundings in advance to make sure that there is no surveillance, listening and other equipment, and observe the people around who may be undercovering.
On the way there, Su Xia continued to ask, "In Conch City, how many bases does your group have?" Andrew replied truthfully: "One." "Jar
"Just one?"
"Yes, my lord, Conch City is expensive, land is expensive, and there are many people, so it is inconvenient to conduct all kinds of business." Most of the business of the Left Eye Group is shady, and it is indeed not suitable to establish a base in a place like Conch City.
As a result, most of the areas they are eyeing are those that are more backward, less populated, and have relatively lax inspections.
This city is more suitable as a place to gather news.
"By the way, my lord, there will be a batch of 'people and goods' that will arrive tomorrow night." Andrew said suddenly.
"Abducted people?" Rewn
"Yes, about two hundred people, locked under the ship."
"Well, I'll be rescued when I have the chance." Su Xia glanced at Andrew, and with an idea, he rubbed his cheeks, and reused the red crystal to change his appearance.
"My lord, what are you ......" Under Andrew's shocked gaze, Su Xia's face slowly swelled, his facial features shifted, his skin pulled, and he turned into his appearance little by little!
What kind of camouflage is this? Andrew had learned agent-level camouflage techniques, but it wasn't easy for him to change his face, requiring injections or fillings, or putting fillers in his mouth.
Su Xia glanced at him and said calmly: "It's not a real change, it's just a special energy that deceived your eyes." "Jar
"Deception?" Andrew was stunned.
"Well, deceiving your sense of sight and touch is not the same as traditional camouflage." Susha said.
"Your Excellency, you're amazing!" Andrew said from the bottom of his heart,
"No wonder the mechanical clan can't do anything to you, with this kind of technology, where in the world can you go?"
"Wrong, blood tests, saliva tests, etc., can't be fooled." Su Xia shook his head and said, "It's only a matter of time before my true identity is exposed, what I can do now is to fight for more advantages before it is exposed." ”
"This ...... My lord, do you still have a real identity? Andrew was amazed.
"I can't enjoy the life of ordinary people?" Rewn
"Yes, of course I can." No matter how good the disguise technique is, you can't completely become another person after all. Fortunately, this world trusts psionic detection more, especially the mechanical family, and does not pay much attention to other detections, which gives Su Xia time to be reluctant.
In the eyes of many people, blood, saliva, hair, etc. can be wrong, but the strength of psionic energy must not deceive.
Identifying masked monsters by psionic strength has become a common technique.
"My lord, did you take my form to lure the snake out of the hole?" Andrew thought Susha wanted to fish.
"No, it's just a matter of getting used to it so that you can do things tomorrow night." Susha said. Rewn
"You're going to use my face tomorrow night?"
"Can't you?" Su Xia glanced at him coldly. Andrew's body trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
He had a fluke mentality, that is, the group might think that he had been destroyed by two shells, and put his information on the destruction list, and never pay attention to him again.
After that, if Su Xia can let him go, he can rest assured that he will change his face and live in a new identity without worrying about the problems of the group.
But now, Su Xia plans to act against his face...... This is undoubtedly a complete cut off his back road.
Once seen by the people who are received by the group, his next life will be over, and he will most likely be caught in an endless pursuit of the group until the day of death.
Not long after, the two arrived at Andrew's villa in the suburbs. The villa is in a nice location, halfway up the hill, with beautiful views and plenty of sunshine, perfect for a longer stay.
But before he could get closer, Su Xia found several lurkers.
"People from your group, do you see that?" Su Xia pointed to a large tree, and there were several people in camouflage costumes on it.
"See." Andrew nodded, his eyes a little complicated. Su Suxia beckoned, and led the two of them to float in the air, slowly approaching the few lurkers.
Upon approaching, the lurkers could be heard whispering to each other. One of them whispered, "Didn't Andrew get killed by a shell, and what did Master Frank send us to spy on his house?" The situation is tense right now, and it's easy to be mistaken as suspicious by the automatons. The person next to him said: "It's not necessarily dead, I didn't have time to check the body, the scene has been fenced off by the mechanical people." ”
"Surely dead!" Said a man hidden in the canopy.
"That's right, it's a guided bomb, how can flesh and blood carry it?" Another chimed in.
"Hmph, betrayer of the group, death is his destination!" Rewn
"......" Sure enough, the group did not have time to check the location of the shell hit. Or rather, don't dare to check.
Less than three minutes after the explosion, the autonmen fenced it off. Therefore, within the group, Andrew's life and death are now a mystery, and most of them tend to believe that he is dead, after all, even the signal of the tracking device has been blown up.
"That Frank they were talking about, is that your deputy?" Susha asked Andrew.
"Yes...... Alas, I was really just trying to avoid the limelight. Andrew sighed,
"But once you are branded as a group, you can't escape for the rest of your life." Rewn
"Why run away?" Su Xia asked him.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean......"
"Face your fear, destroy your fear!"
