Chapter 37: Secret Base
Da Da Da ~ Bang!
"This way...... Ahh
"Be careful!"
Bang bang bang!~
In dark New York, a factory located at the intersection of Queens and Manhattan erupted a continuous burst of gunfire, mixed with some exclamations and screams. The gunshots and screams didn't last long before they ended, and it was not known what was going on inside.
Brush!
Brush!
Not long after the sound in the factory fell silent, two black shadows flashed through the gate and quickly rushed into the continuous darkness.
Brush!
At an off-the-beaten-path intersection away from the building, two figures appeared one after the other under the dim streetlights, two men in special costumes. If anyone else who knew them was here at this moment, they would have exclaimed: Phantom Knight!
That's right, the two people who appeared here were indeed Lin Rui and Matt. They had just teamed up to solve a drug production point of the Jayston Gang, and they had solved more than thirty people in total. This is the second time this week that Lin Rui and Matt have teamed up to attack, the last time against a criminal gang under Kim on Hell's Kitchen.
"Matt, I've solved ten more guys than you tonight!" Lin Rui said to Matt easily from under the street lamp into the darkness of the street again. In terms of strength, Lin Rui at this time was completely above Matt.
"Well, your growth really surprised me, is Dongfang's internal strength really so magical?" Hearing Lin Rui's words, Matt didn't care, but just asked lightly.
"Well, it's much more magical than what you're practicing now!" Lin Rui replied with a smile.
Lin Rui had completely practiced "Dragon Tenggong", and the internal strength in his body had no longer grown, Lin Rui felt that it was time for him to change to a more advanced technique. Perhaps, he can teach "Long Tenggong" to Matt? With his talent, it should not be a problem to practice "Long Tenggong".
"I don't know who your master is, but I think it must be a very powerful person!" During the time he spent with Lin Rui, Matt watched Lin Rui's strength grow day by day, and at this time he sincerely sighed.
"Hehe, hey, this is a secret!" Lin Rui wouldn't say that he didn't have a master, he just had a more powerful system.
"That's right, Matt, I've been thinking about a question lately. Suddenly remembering something, Lin Rui slowed down and said to Matt.
"Well, what's the problem?" Hearing Lin Rui's pace slow down, Matt also slowed down and asked Lin Rui.
"Shouldn't we have a fixed base of operations or something, it's always a bit of a hassle to come out of our house and find a place to gather and then move together. Moreover, we are now dealing with an enemy that is getting stronger and stronger, and we also need a place to prepare our own equipment. Every street hero should have their own secret base and arsenal, and we're missing one of these now. Stopped on the side of the road, Lin Rui said seriously.
He had been thinking about what Lin Rui had just said for a while, since he and Matt formed an alliance, the enemies they dealt with had completely escalated to large criminal gangs like the Jeston Gang and the Frankenstein family. Different from fighting some gangsters on the street before, to deal with these criminal gangs, Lin Rui and Matt need to prepare intelligence and some equipment in advance every time. And these things obviously can't be done at home, so Lin Rui thought about building his own secret base outside.
"Oh! I always forget, you are still young, you must still be living at home with your parents now!" Hearing Lin Rui's words, Matt patted his head and said embarrassedly.
Lin Rui's strength always made Matt ignore the fact that this powerful ally was actually only a high school student, so he never thought about this aspect. After all, Matt has a lot to do in his basement.
"Uh~ That's right, if I want to move out, at least until I have a stable job!" Lin Rui was also a little embarrassed. A street hero who lives with his parents and has to go home every night is really limiting.
"You're right! We really need a secret base, a place to prepare our own equipment and make some secret plans!" Without too much entanglement in Lin Rui's age, Matt quickly agreed to Lin Rui's proposal.
"Well, you don't have any suitable places to recommend? I don't know much about the New York underground. Hearing that Matt also agreed with his own thoughts, Lin Rui then asked.
"I know a few places, very secret and quite large, if you tidy them up, they should be our secret base. "Matt is worthy of Daredevil walking in the dark night of New York, and there are several places when he opens his mouth.
"Haha! Then take me to see it now, the secret base has been determined early, and we can also set it up earlier. Hearing Matt's words, Lin Rui said excitedly.
"Well, the nearest place should be over here. One place I stumbled upon when I was too injured to go home was an abandoned iron factory. With a yes, Matt sensed it a little and accelerated in one direction.
Brush!
Brush!
An hour later, on a dilapidated road near the river, Matt's car was quietly parked on the side of the road, but there was no one inside.
Under the embankment, about 100 meters from the embankment, it is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like a place that no one has passed for many years. At this time, Lin Rui's somewhat excited voice suddenly came from this weed.
"Ha! this is it, the perfect secret base!" Standing in a dusty and empty basement, Lin Rui shouted excitedly.
This is the third place that Matt took Lin Rui to find, and it is also the place that Lin Rui is most satisfied with at this time. It is supposed to be an old-fashioned bomb shelter that is connected to the New York underground drainage system, but it has been apparently abandoned for many years. It's located right under the foundation, so it's not only a lot of space, but it's also secluded enough, and it's perfect as a secret base.
"Are you sure?" Standing beside Lin Rui, Matt asked again.
"Yes, it's decided, it's here! I don't think the place in the back will be better than here, right?" Looking around at the underground space again, Lin Rui said seriously.
"Yes, the rest of the place is really not as good as here. Matt nodded in reply.
"So...... We've got a secret base here. We can slowly organize and arrange this place as a foothold and hiding place when we move. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, Lin Rui was already imagining turning this place into an all-round base with everything.
"It's good that you decide, but it's too late today, don't you have to go to school tomorrow?" knew that Lin Rui was on the rise at this time, but Matt also had to remind him.
"Ahh I think this will be an extremely important place for us in the future. Glancing at the time, Lin Rui exclaimed, and then walked out with Matt.
"Well, I believe it too. ”
......
The next day, Imperial High School.
"Hey, Jackson, you look happy, did you encounter something good?" asked Peter in the class, looking at Lin Rui, who had been smiling all the time.
"Hehe, so to speak. Didn't you read the news report a few days ago? I should be on TV!" Smiling at Peter, Lin Rui said proudly.
"Hmph, you're in the limelight now! I interviewed Tony Stark's personal secretary when I became an intern reporter, and I don't know where your luck came from!" Looking at Lin Rui's smug appearance, Peter's tone was a little envious.
"Hey, hey, I was lucky. Lin Rui responded with a smile, he couldn't say that he did it on purpose.
And at this moment, a person came in from the door and went straight to Lin Rui and Peter's side. It was Harry, Harry who hadn't seen anyone in days, and he had finally reappeared at the school.
"Hey, Harry, why haven't you been to school lately?" Peter asked curiously when he saw Harry coming. He's been working behind the biology professor at the Osborne group lately, except for school, and he's not looking to play with Harry. As for Lin Rui, his situation is similar, and he has been busy completing the main quest recently.
"Hey, Harry, you're here!" Lin Rui also greeted Harry, he probably knew what Harry had been busy with lately. It should be those things in Osben, and judging by Harry's face, his move into the shareholder group should not be so smooth.
"Hey, there's been something going on in the company lately, and I'm getting a little busy. "Even though Harry has been under a lot of pressure lately because of things in the company, he doesn't share these things with his good friends, it's not something they should be worried about.
"Well, you've slowly started to take over the company's affairs now, and you're really busy. Peter said disapprovingly, and he could not have imagined how dangerous such a feud within a large corporation could be.
"If there's anything you need help with, you can let us know. It may not be able to help you, but it's better than trying to figure it out on your own. Lin Rui said on the side, if he could help, he would definitely help.
"Yes, I know. Also, thank you for letting me out in front of the Reesburg Hotel the other day. Smiling gratefully at Lin Rui, Harry mentioned the incident where Lin Rui interrupted the reporter who asked Harry a question a few days ago.
"I was looking for you at the end of the interview, but you're gone. ”
"Oh, that day! That reporter was clearly targeting you, and I couldn't look past it. I'll leave first, and you won't be able to find me until the end of the interview. Hearing Harry mention the day of the interview, Lin Rui said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about?" Peter asked curiously when he heard Lin Rui and Harry say that they didn't know if they were going back.
"Hey, hey, nothing. ”
In this way, Lin Rui and the three of them chatted and waited for class time together. They didn't realize that Tom, who usually came to talk to them, had already mixed in with another circle. If Lin Rui and the three of them didn't have their own affairs, they would definitely notice this.
