Chapter 179: The Rainstorm is coming

The next day, Su Mo was physically and mentally exhausted after the battle, and slept directly until noon.

After waking up, he was ready to go to the activity room to stretch his muscles.

As I passed by the gym, I suddenly heard some movement inside.

When I looked inside, I saw Dongdong half-squatting on the ground in a sportswear, sweating profusely and panting.

Gasping and panting, her arms lit up with a scorching arc, and she discharged at high intensity for half a minute, but the energy supply core was insufficient, forcing her body into a low-power state.

This made her physically exhausted, and she almost fell to the ground.

But she still stood up and said to herself, "Whew. Whoop in the last round of low-power state, can only do less than 1000. This time, I have to do 1,500, and if I can't hold on, I'll be punished for running 30 kilometers."

After she finished speaking, she faced the powerlessness brought by the low-power state, lying on the ground and desperately doing push-ups, fighting against her limits.

When Su Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

It seems that Dongdong is very concerned about his capture yesterday, and the promises made to him are not empty talk, but immediately put into practice.

Although prosthetic implanters become stronger mainly by "krypton" upgrade components, it does not mean that exercise is useless.

After all, an implanter is not a robot, but a delicate combination of human and mechanical components.

Exercise not only improves the fit between the body and components, but also provides more precise control of the prosthetic performance.

It's like playing a game, no matter how good the equipment is, it depends on the player's operation.

Otherwise, how could there be that pleasing battle of the two tribulations?

A prosthetic genius like Dong Dong has an unparalleled talent, and she is willing to restrain her impetuous heart and make efforts beyond ordinary people, and her strength is just around the corner.

Su Mo smiled knowingly, didn't bother Dongdong, walked around the corner and entered the activity room.

As soon as he entered, he saw a group of mercenaries gathered in front of the big TV.

"What are you looking at?" Su Mo asked.

"Commander, you're here, I'm going to call you." Chu Nanyi gave up his position, with a faint excitement on his face, "As soon as the news began, the authorities were ready to take action against the crow's nest." ”

【Crescent City Center, Administrative Square of the General Administration of Public Security】

It is crowded with people, several cordons have been set up on the periphery, hundreds of elite soldiers of the municipal garrison are stationed in all corners, and unmanned early warning aircraft and floating gunboats are circling in the sky, curbing all possible dangers.

In the center of the plaza is a tall podium, with a blue background curtain featuring the full moon emblem symbolizing the Crescent City Sheriff's Bureau.

Schenkov stood under the full moon insignia, facing the sea of people, and his brow was full of the majesty of the superior.

Under the podium, invited journalists from major media outlets sat here, raising their hands one by one, waiting for Schenkov's roll call.

Schenkov: "The lady in the third column on the left side of the second row. ”

The reporter who was named got up and asked: "Mr. Director, you just said that the authorities will initiate a liquidation of the Crow's Nest, is it a liquidation at the level of force?" ”

Schenkov's face was cold: "You understand it right, it is a reckoning at the level of force. ”

"The Raven's Nest is a great provocation to the authority of the authorities by committing a horrific hijacking of a group of innocent children in defiance of the laws of Crescent City, and even the basic norms of human morality."

"In the face of violence, we will respond with greater violence to ensure that justice is served."

"The gentleman in the second row on the right side of the first row, please ask."

The reporter stood up with a worried expression: "Mr. Director, have the authorities considered softer means, such as sending envoys to the border to negotiate with the crow's nest?" ”

"I believe that peace is the basic principle of bilateral relations, and violence will not solve problems, but will cause more bloodshed."

Schenkov said coldly: "Believe me, dialogue is useless. These savage thugs are no different from animals, they cannot understand the words of civilized people, only the sound of bullets in the muzzle of their guns. ”

"You're right, violence doesn't solve problems, but violence can solve crows' nests."

"And what we're going to do is shoot bullets into the heads of those crownest thugs and make them disappear from Crescent City forever."

"The lady in the fourth column from the right in the third row."

The reporter asked urgently: "When will the military operation to exterminate the crow's nest be launched?" How many casualties do you expect to inflict on the security forces? ”

Schenkov: "This operation is internally codenamed "Crow Hunting", the time of initiation is a military secret, maybe today, maybe a month from now, maybe next year, I can't answer. ”

"As for casualties. All you need to know is that this is a multi-agency joint operation, and the participants are the most heroic and elite fighters. ”

"Those brave men are all hot-blooded, and each one is willing to defend the glory of Crescent City with his life."

"Mr. in the first column on the right side of the fourth row."

Reporter: "Will this crow hunt affect other groups in the border areas?" ”

Schenkov: "That's a good question. I believe that at this moment not only the people in the inner city, but also violent groups in the border areas are watching the news. ”

"I hereby warn that no group should interfere with our crow hunting, otherwise it will be regarded as hostile and will be wiped out."

"And I would like to add that the crow hunting operation is mainly aimed at the crow nest leaders led by Hong Quansheng, rather than completely exterminating them."

"Ordinary crownest members who do not want to die under gunfire can surrender to the security forces, and we will treat the captives humanely."

"If we can provide valuable information to the security forces, we will also regard it as a meritorious performance and give leniency during the trial."

"Therefore, I hereby advise all the members of the Crow's Nest to think about their own future, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and do not die for the meaninglessness of the group."

"Mr. in the fifth column from the left of the second row, this is the last round of questions and answers."

The reporter cautiously asked: "It has been rumored that Hong Quansheng, the leader of the Crow's Nest, has improper dealings with a number of important officials of the authorities, and there is a secret relationship of interest transfer. ”

"If the rumors are true, this may be the biggest obstacle to the crow hunt, what do you think about this?"

Schenkov looked calm: "I don't know where this rumor came from, at least after the special investigation team in the court was stationed, the members of the city council who had improper dealings with border groups were purged. ”

"This crow hunt has the full support of the City Council. No one, I mean anyone, is unlikely to be able to hinder it. ”

"So here, I only have one thing to tell Hong Quansheng-"

Schenkov looked directly at the camera, his face full of murderous intent, and said word by word:

"You're already a dead man."

At the end of the press conference, the crowd left in an orderly manner, led by the soldiers of the municipal garrison.

Schenkov's murderous speech added a layer of tension to Crescent City.

The operation of the huge city is still the same, but people can be seen discussing this matter in the streets and alleys, and their faces are full of anxiety and anxiety.

The discussion on the Internet is also endless.

Some people think that Schenkov is very domineering, and he should use violence to speak in the face of thugs, and what are you doing that is useless, just do it.

Some people also criticized Schenkov for being eager for quick success and quick gain, and sending the security forces to the border to fill in the line as soon as he took office, which was really careless of human life.

No matter what the people say, the plan is finalized, the cruel words are released, the crow hunting operation has been put on the agenda, and a bloody conflict between the border and the inner city is about to be staged.

In the evening of the same day, cold air swept through Crescent City, torrential rain poured down from the black clouds, and endless haze enveloped the entire sky, and it was already dark at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Schenkov went to the floating garage after work and walked into the special car that had been waiting there early.

The floating car started, the garage roof opened to both sides, and the wind carried the rain curtain down, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the body intensively.

This floating vehicle is specially designed to withstand extreme weather and can still fly steadily in strong winds and rains.

Schenkov looked down through a window full of water, and the whole city was blurred in the rain, creating a hazy sense of distortion.

His thoughts were also drifting in this rain.

As the initiator of Operation Crow Hunting, it is impossible to say that you are not nervous.

But Schenkov knew the necessity of this operation.

It's not just about your future.

If the inner city is attacked by the crow's nest like this, and there is no retaliatory countermeasure, the entire Crescent City authorities will lose their dignity in the eyes of the people, which will have an extremely bad impact.

So this time, no matter what kind of fight it is, no matter how many people die, you have to give an explanation to the outside world.

Just as Schenkov was thinking, the floating car entered the airspace of the island in the middle of the lake.

Suddenly, he realized that the route was wrong, frowned and asked, "Where is this flying?" My house is not in this direction. ”

The driver was silent for a while before whispering, "I'm sorry, Mr. Director. I am also commanded."

Schenkov's face changed, and he realized that something was wrong.

But now that the floating car is flying in the sky, he doesn't even have a chance to jump out of the car, so he can only wait and watch the changes with a calm face.

The floating car flew towards the central area of the lake, and the deeper it went, the heavier Schenkov's heart became.

Just as the major urban areas of Crescent City are divided into "high and low", there is also a difference between "high and low" within Huxin Continent.

Among the islands in the middle of the lake, the outlying islands belong to low-ranking people, such as important members of the city council such as Schenkov, and even the head of the city council, Amir.

And the noble area in the center of the archipelago belongs to the real "big guys".

Looking at the archipelago that kept passing by in his sight, Schenkov was dazed and anxious, and it was difficult for him to imagine what level of people he was going to meet this time.

Eventually, the float came to the very central area of the island and landed on one of the large islands.

Due to the impact of the torrential rain, the island scenery is dark and hazy, and only the huge villas can be seen towering in the shadows, bringing a heavy sense of oppression.

After the floating car came to a halt, the door next to Schenkov was opened.

A tall man stood outside, dressed in a soaked suit, biting a cigarette in his mouth that had been soaked in the rain and swollen, and the rain had gathered in a stream of water on the face of the Chinese character, and his eyes were illuminated by thunder from time to time.

Schenkov didn't know this man, but from the powerful momentum he exuded, he could see that he was nothing more than an ant-like weak existence in front of him.

The man with the Chinese character face shoved a folding umbrella into Schenkov's hand, motioned for him to follow, and then led the way towards the villa.

At this point, there was no way back, Schenkov could only get out of the car with an umbrella and keep up with the pace of the other party.

The villa was large, the aisles were not lit, and Schenkov walked for several minutes before he faintly heard a burst of laughter at the end of the corridor.

The man with the national character face pushed open the quaint wooden door and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, the person has arrived." ”

Schenkov walked in the door and was greeted by the fragrant smell of tea.

This is an ecological tea room, the open-air design is connected to the outside world, there is a courtyard with a small bridge and flowing water, and the tea house is designed in the eaves, so that you can listen to the wind and rain when you taste tea, which is quite meaningful.

At this time, elegant candles were lit on the tea table, and three people were sitting around.

The main seat was a young man with an elegant temperament, and when he saw Schenkov, he greeted him in a friendly manner: "Hey, our Mr. Chief has finally arrived. ”

Schenkov's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "It turned out that Mr. Zhao invited him, and he was disrespectful." ”

This person is none other than Zhao Yiming, vice president of the Crescent City branch of the company.

Giant organizations like the Co-operative Company have long since gone beyond the scope of the enterprise, and they secretly control the operation of the world, and they are the ruling class in the true sense.

And the existence of such a city council is nothing more than a front-office spokesperson selected by the three giant companies through major consortia.

In the case of the joint venture company, the head of any department in the Crescent City branch has more power than the so-called "important officials" like Schenkov.

Not to mention that the other party is still a vice president, this is already one of the top big names in the entire division.

If Schenkov usually wanted to see Zhao Yiming, he had to make an appointment with his assistant several weeks in advance.

Zhao Yiming shook hands with Schenkov and said, "Sit down, Amir arrived a few minutes earlier than you, we chatted a few words and drank a few sips of tea." ”

Amir, the chairman of the city council, sat on Zhao Yiming's left hand side, smiled at Schenkov and said, "Our director, Mr. Zhao, has always been concerned about you." ”

Schenkov's seat was arranged opposite Zhao Yiming, and it was the seat of the guest of honor after the host, and it was more noble than Amir, which flattered him.

Schenkov didn't dare to sit for a while, and said in embarrassment: "Mr. Zhao, how can I sit in front of Mr. City Council Speaker?" I'm so rude."

Zhao Yiming let out a hearty laugh and motioned for him to sit down: "Everyone is a friend, don't talk about priorities, sit down." ”

Schenkov could only sit down and look at the person on Zhao Yiming's right.

The other party was dressed in a very decent windbreaker, and wore a domed gentleman's courtesy on his head, and the shadow covered his face, and he couldn't distinguish his face.

Schenkov tentatively asked: "Who is this distinguished guest?" ”

"Haha, I invited Mr. Director here today just to introduce you to a new friend." Zhao Yiming patted the man's hat and said very unceremoniously, "What are you doing with it when you drink tea?" Picked it up. ”

The other man slowly raised his hand, took off his hat and looked at Schenkov.

Suddenly, Schenkov's face changed dramatically, and he got up and took a few steps back, and the chair was knocked over.

"Hong Quansheng?!"
