On the first night of the New Year, Su Mo spent time with Schenkov, and the two found a bar to drink.

It can be seen that Schenkov attaches great importance to Sumer as a friend. He turned down many invitations from big shots with excuses, leaving this memorable evening to Sumer.

With such hospitality, Su Mo naturally did not refuse and drank with him until late at night.

After drinking, Su Mo collapsed as expected. Dongdong and Shuangsui played the role of the villain, and someone called him to come and carry him away.

After returning home, Su Mo fell asleep after drinking too much, leaving his cell phone on the bedside table as always.

A leader like him has to deal with emergencies at any time, sometimes it's something happening to his subordinates, sometimes it's an urgent commission that's very time-sensitive.

Therefore, his mobile phone is on 24 hours a day and is not muted even when sleeping, ensuring that he can receive every call immediately.

I don’t know how long I slept when my cell phone rang.

Su Mo opened his eyes suddenly, almost sober from the wine.

This is a special ringtone he specially set, reserved for the "early warning department" of the fringe mercenary group.

People in the early warning department are usually responsible for connecting with mercenaries and intelligence personnel on missions outside, and monitoring online public opinion around the clock.

Once something unfavorable happens to the fringe mercenary group, they will initiate corresponding disposal plans to deal with it, and their powers are somewhat similar to the "crisis management center" of the joint venture company.

Normally, the early warning department has a dedicated person in charge to handle matters, and there are sufficient plans in all aspects. Most situations can be resolved independently within the department.

The call was made directly to the head of the group, indicating that a situation had arisen that they could not handle at all. This was the first time since the department was established.

Su Mo quickly picked up the phone: "What's the matter?"

The person in charge of the early warning center asked quickly: "Captain, is Nobai your friend?"

Su Mo's expression froze.

what happened…

When he was annihilating Ou Chenyu before, Nuobai had helped him. The two were friends, which was not a secret within the Edge or even to the outside world.

But Nobai has never revealed her identity. Even if others know her, they probably only know the "Silent Death". Why can they directly report her real name? !

Su Mo asked, "Where did you hear this name?"

The person in charge of the early warning center sounded very anxious: "Her personal information has been exposed on the dark web, and someone is offering a reward for her!"

Su Mo was so anxious that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he hurried out and took the elevator to the basement, where he broke into Qi Ling's dark guest room.

Qi Ling was analyzing the Black Jue virus. When she saw Su Mo hurried in, she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Su Mo ran to the computer: "Enter the dark web, quickly!"

Qiling took action first without asking the reason.

She opened a pre-configured anonymous channel, hijacked the broiler computer to hide the real IP address, encrypted the information, and finally sneaked into the depths of the Internet through multi-hop relays.

Soon, the computer began to establish a connection to the dark web, and data traffic was directed through a series of encrypted nodes to ensure that Qi Ling's true identity was hidden.

A series of seemingly disordered characters and numbers began to appear on the screen, and finally, an interface with a black background appeared.

There are various links on this page, all pointing to some dark and terrifying content, whether it is contraband trafficking, assassination, freak show performances, or any illegal trade that humans can think of, they are all waiting for guests here.

Su Mo originally wanted Qi Ling to search for information about Nuo Bai, but soon found that it was not necessary.

In every forum, every live broadcast room, and every web page in the dark network channel, a link is hung in the most eye-catching position.

Its title is: "Hunting the God of Death with a Bounty of 500 Million"

When you click on the link, an anonymous bounty order pops up. The bounty has been paid in advance and has been notarized. The content is as follows:

Hunting target: "Silent Death" Nobai (former Crescent City mercenary).

Bounty: 500 million monthly coins.

Bounty mode: public.

Settlement requirements: Receive with head.

In addition to the relevant content of the reward order, all information related to Nobai was posted in the notes column.

There was more than just information about her past as a mercenary.

All her personal information as a citizen of Crescent City, including name, age, residence, work status, etc., were exposed.

Su Mo's heart dropped when he saw it, and he asked Qi Ling anxiously, "Can these things be hacked?!"

Qi Ling shook her head: "The dark web is not a fixed page or device, but a huge network aggregation. It cannot be hacked by anyone."

"And I feel that with the current situation, it will be too late even if someone hacks in."

As Qi Ling said, this bounty order was posted all over the dark web, and the number of visits was so huge. At this time, the number of visitors had exceeded one million, and it was still soaring rapidly.

Comments are constantly being refreshed under the reward order:

[Did I count the number of 0s correctly? 500 million? This is the most expensive head I have ever seen! 】

[Are all the girls in your mercenary world so beautiful? Her dying struggle must be more beautiful]

[Hehe, I really want to cut off her head and soak it in my formalin]

[The gun is ready. Crescent City, 500 million, and a beautiful corpse, here I come~]

Su Mo frowned and muttered, "How did her information leak? It's impossible."

Qi Ling: "Don't worry about the reason yet. The reward for this reward is 500 million, and it is a public reward. Do you know what this means?"

Su Mo knew, of course he knew.

500 million

Putting out orders of this amount, let alone hunting down a former mercenary who has retired.

Even when it comes to demolishing the headquarters of Counter-Violence Section 4, there are lunatics who dare to take risks.

And this is not a "designated reward", but a "public reward".

A public reward means that there are no restrictions on the identity of the recipient, it is completely open and anyone can accept it.

Public bounties of this amount are posted on the homepages of major dark web interfaces. Mercenary killers throughout the human world will see them one after another, and they will inevitably flock here for the high bounties.

Nobel is in danger.

What's even more terrible is that Nobai has retired and returned to a normal life. He no longer cares about the affairs of the industry and has no need to log into the dark web.

In other words, it’s very possible that she doesn’t even know that she’s being rewarded!

Su Mo quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Nuo Bai's number, wanting to send her a warning.

"Hello, the number you dialed is not in the service area, please try again later."

However, only a cold tone came from the microphone.

Sumer suddenly felt confused.

Not in the service area. What's going on over there at Noble? Isn't she in Crescent City?

Su Mo couldn't get through the phone call, so he could only send a text message:

[Your identity has been exposed, and someone is offering a reward for you! 】

[No matter where you are, run away when you see the news! 】

After sending the text message, Su Mo immediately left the basement and ran to the aircraft hangar anxiously.

"Don't let anything happen to you."

"Bai Yatou, come and check for me. Why can't I see the weather forecast for tomorrow?"

In the canteen, Grandma Zheng was wearing reading glasses and playing with her mobile phone.

Nuo Bai had finished dinner with the old man today and was washing dishes in the kitchen. She washed her hands after hearing the sound, wiped them dry on her apron, and came over.

She took the phone and found that the weather forecast software interface displayed "The network has been disconnected."

After checking, I found that the cell phone signal was out of service.

Nuobai took out his mobile phone and found that the signal was also zero.

She typed:

[Internet disconnected, no signal]

Grandma Zheng muttered: "The Internet is disconnected again. Our old community is disconnected every three days. The signal is poor, and the Internet service people don't know how to come and fix it, hey."

The community where Nuo Bai lives is very old, and the network communication base station has not been renovated, so poor signals are the norm.

She didn't think much, went back to the kitchen, finished washing the dishes, and typed to Grandma Zheng:

[It’s getting late, I’ll go back first]

【You go to bed early】

Grandma Zheng smiled kindly and said: "You stayed with me for another day today. It's really hard work. Tomorrow you can also go and meet your friends. During the Chinese New Year, you have to win over people you know, right?"

Nuo Bai pursed his lips, smiled and nodded.

[Then I won’t come to your place tomorrow]

[I have bought all the vegetables and put them in the refrigerator. Please try to cook them yourself.]

"Hey, even though I'm old, I'm not that old that I can't cook. Hahaha, go ahead and go home."

Nuobai and Grandma Zheng waved goodbye.

January is in the middle of winter and is the coldest season.

Walking out of the room covered by the stove, the winter chill poured in from the gaps in his clothes. Nobai couldn't help blowing on his hands, and then retracted his hands into his sleeves.

It's really unpleasant to walk outside in winter, but luckily my home is right next to me.

Raise a cat for a thousand days, use a cat for a while.

After a while, you can hold those little fur balls at home as hand warmers~

Nuo Bai walked into his private building and came to the 6th floor.

Normally, as long as her footsteps sounded, the sounds of cats welcoming her home would come from behind the door.

But today it was very quiet and there was no sound. She guessed that she probably came home too late and the cats were all asleep.

She took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a strange smell hit my face.

She had not smelled this smell for a long time, and it awakened her dusty experience at this time.

This was a smell she had smelled countless times in the past half of her life.

The smell of blood.

Nuo Bai quickly turned on the light, and the scene in front of her made her freeze completely.

The originally tidy home was in a mess, with blood stains all over the floor.

The bodies of the cats lay scattered on the ground, some with their heads and necks twisted, and they were directly strangled to death.

The skin and flesh of some of them were open and covered with marks from being cut by the blade. You can imagine that they were running around and banging around due to severe pain during their lifetime, with blood overflowing all over the floor. In the end, they bled to death alive.

When he was still a mercenary, Nuobai had always been a loner with few friends.

If there is any comfort in the life of licking blood from the knife edge, it may be these fluffy cats at home.

Every time I come home exhausted, just hugging them always seems to calm them down.

At this time, cats that had been with her for many years died in front of her without any warning, which made her feel as if she had been stabbed hard in her heart, and she was so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

"Meow. Woo."

At this time, a shrill, suppressed meow came from the house, as well as the sound of claws scratching the door. Apparently, a living cat heard the door open and was asking for help from its owner.

They have been with her day and night all year round, and Nuo Bai could tell right away that it was Fanfan, the cat he first raised and stayed with the longest.

She rushed over and opened the door.

"Boom -" The moment the door opened, the preset trap device detonated.

Fierce flames rushed towards his face, burning Nuo Bai's exposed hands and face to pieces. Shock waves surged through his body, as if countless big hands were stirring his internal organs.

The violent impact directly blew Nobai away and hit the corridor window on the opposite side of the door. The fragile window and door could not withstand the impact at all, and the whole window exploded outward.

Nuobai fell out of the broken window, and the feeling of weightlessness spread throughout her body. She couldn't control her body in the air, so she rolled in the cold wind, and finally fell straight to the ground.

"Boom!!!"

He was first hit by a bomb and then fell from the sixth floor. Most of his bones were broken and his internal organs were severely damaged.

The blood splashed out in a radial pattern at the landing point. She fell in a pool of blood and struggled, and every breath would bring out ferocious blood foam.

Suddenly, she saw some fragments around her.

It was an animal's fur, a large piece of it was burnt. Judging from the color of the remaining parts, it was rice. It had been blown to pieces.

Severe pain and anger rolled in Nobai's heart. She gritted her teeth and activated the Crimson Rose blood code, using her super-speed regeneration ability to repair the injury.

However, only a few seconds passed before the attacks came one after another.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang—" Gun flames appeared one after another in the darkness all around, and bullets were fired at Nobai one after another.

After Nobel retired, due to changes in his mentality, his awareness of prevention was not as good as before.

But the fighting instinct of countless life-and-death battles is still engraved in his bones, something that cannot be forgotten even if he wants to.

Nobai quickly rolled to avoid the bullets, leaving dense and messy bullet marks where he originally lay.

She lowered her body to reduce her exposure, and at the same time, her running path quickly changed left and right, attacking the gunman closest to her in a snake-like trajectory.

The gunman pulled out his dagger and wanted to get close to the enemy, but his strength and speed were inferior to that of Nobel. As soon as the knife was pulled out, his wrist was caught.

Nobai suddenly pulled the gunman towards him, destroying his body balance, and at the same time kicked his right foot towards his knee.

"Crack!!!" Amidst the numbing sound of fractures, the gunman's knees were kicked into a V-shape, and he fell to the ground like a broken bamboo pole, screaming in pain.

Nobai stepped on the dagger that fell to the ground, kicked it up, caught it in mid-air, and then stabbed the gunman in the heart cleanly.

Just when the gunman was about to die, a young man's playful voice came from not far away: "Hey, do you want this old woman to get her head shot?"

In an instant, the dagger stopped at the gunman's heart.

Nuo Bai turned to look at the place where the sound came from.

From a canteen not far away, several heavily armed soldiers walked out, led by a young man wearing hip-hop clothing.

I saw Grandma Zheng being held hostage by the young man. Facing the scene in front of her, she was at a loss and asked tremblingly: "What's going on?"

The young man whistled to Nuobai and showed a mysterious smile: "Good evening, Silent Death. In terms of the year you entered the industry, you are still my senior."

"Then let me introduce myself first. I am the leader of the "Hellhound" mercenary group, "Taiweixing" Lucifer, and I am here to take your head today. "
