Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Zhuang Xuteng sighed deeply and said slowly: "As for your next actions, my advice is actually the same as other people's advice: hide, survive, and rise again. However, whether you rise again depends on you. Do you still have fighting spirit? Also, don’t use the name Gardeners Organization anymore.”

Palovich lowered his head and said: "The name Gardeners Organization represents our ambitions and achievements. It..."

"Focus on practical things! A name will not automatically bring you victory. The substantive power behind it is the last thing you need to cherish. In addition, if the Gardeners organization really wants to have any legacy, there is a high probability that it will It has become a trap for the company waiting for you to take the bait. Unless there are some things hidden by your own hands, you can try to dig them out and save them for future use - I take it you have no money anymore, right?"

"We have no money, we are bankrupt, we have had one meal and no next meal." Palovich raised his head and looked at Zhuang Xuteng expectantly. "Can I borrow some money from you? We will definitely pay it back."

"In order to do the surgery, I don't have much cash. I can only lend you 30,000 euros, and I have to use the rest." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I also have a hidden account with a lot of money in it. I want to ?"

Palovic thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Thirty thousand euros is enough. I feel that your hidden account is like a trap... If we look into our past carefully, I realize that you, Lucy and others have always used the gardener as a trap." The organization serves as a scapegoat and pins everything on our heads.”

Zhuang Xuteng smiled. The Gardeners Organization has already taken the blame on itself, and there is no need to continue being hypocritical at this time. "Yes, scapegoat... It's not just us. In fact, most middlemen and mercenaries will use the Gardener Organization as a scapegoat. I heard that even some gangs will use the name of the Gardener Organization. I can completely understand them. The reputation of the Gardener Organization is too great. It stinks, but it’s also so useful.”

"Our reputation is ruined by the company."

"Since you bombed the TV station, your reputation has been bad. You don't need the company to mess with you."

"We did not blow up the TV station, but the company's commandos." Palovich shook his head and said: "We did plant explosives in the TV station and then announced that we were going to blast it, but we never thought about destroying the building. Collapse. Our target is the 'Broadcast Research Center' located on the thirteenth and a half floors of the TV station, where there are equipment and evidence for the company's mind improvement experiments. In order to break open the alloy protective door, we concentrated professional explosives on that floor. The explosion that caused the collapse of the TV station started on the third floor and it was not our doing."

"It's not you?" Zhuang Xuteng was dubious and asked, "You have never denied bombing the TV station, and you have never denied my statement about the Gardeners organizing the bombing of the TV station before. Why have you changed your mind now?"

Palović snorted and said: "I didn't admit that I was a member of the Gardeners Organization before. How can I deny the outside world's claims from the standpoint of the Gardeners Organization? For example, I said to you, 'This was not done by the Gardeners Organization.' , what will you say next? My guess is, it's probably: You finally admitted that you are a member of the Gardeners organization, otherwise how would you know the inside story? Therefore, as long as we don't want to officially reveal our identity, we must obey the general public opinion."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded: "What you said makes sense. I do think this way. Now let's assume that the TV station was bombed by the company's action team. Then when the company uses its public opinion machine to pin this matter on your heads, you will indeed There is no defense. What exactly was that Broadcasting Research Center doing? Why did it take such violent action?"

Before Palovic spoke, Lefty nervously expressed concerns about local safety. She suggested starting to consider diversion plans now that Palovic was awake and mobile.

"I'm not in a hurry to leave," Palovich said. "If I just want to hide and live in the shadow of the company's terror for the rest of my life, then I should leave. But I still have the fighting spirit, and I need to give it to the scarecrow." Good conversation, Nike, I think that’s key to the future of the Gardeners organization.”

Zhuang Xuteng quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

"You won't join that gardener organization that goes around doing explosions and blowing up TV stations. If it hadn't been for this, wouldn't you have considered it at all?" Palovich coughed and said, "Those who can continue to fight against the company firmly Organization, it is no exaggeration to say that only the Gardener Organization is left. We have investigated and found that all other organizations have been infiltrated, and none of them can succeed."

"We'll talk about this later." Zhuang Xuteng shrugged, as if he had shaken off the burden that the remaining members of the Gardener Organization wanted to impose on him. "Palovic, let's continue the previous topic."

"Including Peicheng TV Station, the four major companies have conducted experiments on comprehensive TV stations in eight major cities, using the dual effects of images and sounds to modify people's consciousness. According to our preliminary investigation, they mainly use the dual effects of images and sounds to modify people's consciousness. Advertising and weather forecasts are tampering with the message of fatigue and anxiety."

Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment and asked: "I feel so strange... If it is for better control, shouldn't feelings such as obedience and satisfaction should be inserted? Wouldn't fatigue and anxiety be more useful?"

"We have the same idea as you and suspect that the intelligence we received is wrong, just to cover up the crueler truth - this has happened many times during our battle with the company." Palovich said: "Only action can reveal the truth, so we infiltrated the TV station. I think you should know that the riot squad is actually our main cover."

"It's just a cover?" Zhuang Xuteng thought to himself: Peicheng's riot squad is a gardener organization from top to bottom, right?

Palovich smiled and did not answer the question of whether the riot control unit was the main body or a cover. He continued: "On the one hand, we issued a statement in the name of the Gardeners Organization, and on the other hand, we used the riot control unit to control the situation on the scene and prevent people inside from disturbing our operations; most of the equipment we needed was also sent by the riot control unit. Got in."

"According to the previous investigation, we found the research center between the 12th and 13th floors and started to install bombs. At this time, we received intelligence that a special operations team from the Sanliu Charity Foundation was on the way. Although we were acting as riot control The squad has repeatedly requested that the action team go back and there is no need to bother them with this trip, but the riot control squad can control the PCPD, not the company's action team."

"So we can only speed up our actions and carry out blasting while there are still a large number of people downstairs who have not been evacuated. At the same time, we have some decoys to ambush the company's special operations team on the roof. We don't want to defeat them, and we don't want to survive in the end. , Just try to hold back the special operations team as much as possible."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed and motioned for Palovich to continue.

Palovich said that what happened next was sudden and strange, and the Gardeners organization was not sure how true it was. The explosion occurred suddenly. Starting from the third floor, there would be successive explosions several floors apart, accurately destroying the load-bearing capacity of the building. The TV station building was crushed by its own weight and fell to pieces on the ground, while none of the suicide squads on the roof survived. They never saw the special operations team until the end.

"Where were you at that time?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"Of course with the riot squad, located outside the TV station. According to the plan, keeping our identity secret has a high priority, so the riot squad cannot appear at the same time as the Gardener organization. Since we are separated, there is basically no riot squad Injured by the collapse of the building." Palovich said: "When the building collapsed, we rushed to the scene and saw the company's reinforcements in the smoke. They stared at us for a few seconds and then quickly left the scene."

If Palovich did not lie, then the TV station was a trap for the company to target the gardeners' organization. Zhuang Xuteng believed that a hole had been dug since the initial intelligence about the TV station, and he was waiting for the Gardener organization to blow up the TV station and fill the hole. The company may not have known about the relationship between the riot squad and the Gardeners at first, but after the operation, the seeds of suspicion may have been planted, waiting to take root.

"What happened over there in Peicheng? Were you attacked from the outside, or was there something wrong internally?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"The information I have is not enough to support my judgment. Speaking based on feelings alone will only cause misjudgment and add confusion." Palovich only said what he knew, such as their preparations for the meeting and his deliberate display of airs. Condition. Due to being late, he only saw the outer edges of the battlefield and the relative closing stages, and had no idea what happened in the first place.

The left and right hands were supplemented. After Palovic was injured, they used the resources of the Gardener organization to find a treatment plan for him, and they also thought about spending some money for emergencies. They found that the resources of the Gardener Organization had been hit with extremely precise attacks. According to various signs, the company had already taken control of the resources and was waiting for them to fall into the trap.

Palovich said: "At least our superficial organization has been identified, including our organizational structure, chain of command, financial capabilities and intelligence capabilities. However, the real core secrets of the Gardener organization remain and we can continue to work."

This is not what Zhuang Xuteng wants to hear. He cares about Morgana and others. "This time the company used the PCPD as a cover to only target your gardener organization? How did it deal with other people? For example, the riot squad and the middlemen?"

Um? This question is a bit strange - Palovich thought to himself - it feels like Scarecrow Naike has lost contact with Peicheng? Could it be that after finding someone to send him out of the city, he would have no source of intelligence?

After weighing the pros and cons, Palovich decided to talk openly and provide intelligence support to Zhuang Xuteng. "The operation against the Gardener Organization was led by the PCPD, but they were only in name. The real support on the scene was the middlemen - mercenaries. You can understand it so simply: the company's enhanced people attack our core, and the mercenaries are formed in the middle The cordon is closed to prevent any gardener from slipping through, while the PCPD is at the outer edge, blocking reporters and responsible for showing their faces and being interviewed. As far as I know, your friends are all fine, and the business of the middlemen-mercenaries has not been affected. However, I I don’t recommend you go back right now.”

"Why?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"No member of our gardener organization can kill Isabella and Kaho. The company should know this. I believe the company must be investigating this matter. If you go back, they will definitely investigate you. Unless you have a way to make them Be convinced, otherwise the problem will definitely be found." Palovich pointed at Zhuang Xuteng's body and said, "The sutures on your body are a major suspect! How many implants have you installed, are they enough to threaten the enhanced person? Also, how did you endure it? Is there any organization behind you to support you? Can you explain these issues clearly?"

The explanation is indeed unclear - Zhuang Xuteng smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly. Although the suture traces of these surgeries can now be eliminated through constant transfer of injuries and medicinal baths, and although the Thousand Eyes Cloak can be used to block the shadow energy signal, as long as an X-ray is taken, these surface coverings will be broken.

"I have a suggestion," Palovich said: "It is impossible to completely clear away the suspicion, but there are ways to reduce the suspicion. I see that you are good at makeup. You can wear makeup in the capital Constitution City or other places outside Peicheng. The local government kills a company enhancer, and then shows that this is a revenge counterattack by the Gardener organization. In this way, it can at least release false information that the Gardener organization has the ability to kill the enhancer, which may cause trouble for the company."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head. Creating a message to the Gardener organization that "it has an enhanced killer" actually has the same effect as "The Gardener organization hides an enhanced killer, but the company hasn't found it out yet." Zhuang Xuteng still insisted on his previous idea: hide, hide from the limelight, and then return to Peicheng.

The information I got from Palovich was all good news. If everyone is fine, then he can activate the encryption method to report that they are safe, so that Morgana will not have to worry all the time. In Zhuang Xuteng's plan, when he recovers from the surgery, the high-speed and high-explosion implant can be put into actual combat, and with the consolidated eight flashes, he will be able to fight against the company's enhanced personnel.

Combat capability is the real guarantee of security, and the security provided by false intelligence is only false security. This is clear when you look at the Gardener Organization. Their false identities were the riot squad, which was definitely the best identity cover Zhuang Xuteng could come up with. Not only can intelligence be obtained from sources such as the Constitutional Government, PCPD, and even companies, but they can also openly improve their combat effectiveness and use equipment closest to company level. However, the riot control unit does not have a true company-level combat effectiveness, and Dingpotian is comparable to the Constitutional Army, which is not enough.

The main bottleneck is tolerance of the implant. In the name of the constitutional government, the company continues to screen talents with excellent physical fitness. Once at birth, in kindergarten, in elementary school, and once in middle and high school, the good seeds are all taken away. People outside the company, including the so-called "top combat forces" such as the Constitutional Army and the Riot Strike Team, may not be able to withstand the side effects of a high-speed and high-explosive suit, let alone this enhanced eye and that transaction processor. Waiting for the shadow slave device.

Assuming that a high-speed and high-explosion set can be obtained, there are still people who are willing to risk their lives and bear the risk of side effects, but there is basically no hope of defeating the company's enhanced person with a single piece of equipment. Not to mention how to get your first set of equipment? Even with the eight-dodge Master of the Famine Stranger, if you see the high-speed and high-burst enhanced person, you can only run away, and if you bite the bullet, you can only fight in a draw. Zhuang Xuteng's situation is too special and cannot be used as an example.

He is currently the only one who has snowballed across the combat threshold.
