Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 278 277. Which will come first, the accident or tomorrow?

The two people who were rescued were not famous mercenaries. They just hung around in this city, working as thugs, odd jobs, or picking up trash and cleaning.

My combat capability is almost non-existent, and I haven't touched many weapons. I can fill in the gaps, but if something really happens, I will mainly run away. But I'm not very lucky today.

"Do you know what just happened?" Seifer was not in a hurry. He first asked Tien if he knew that a company manager had just been shot dead.

Tien had just learned about this matter, having heard it from the two unlucky guys who had been beaten.

Two people... For some reason, Seifer suddenly remembered the two unlucky kids he met in the Node City of the Transformation Agency before, who were trapped step by step and had to board the machine.

I don’t know if those two are still alive. Logically speaking... the hope is slim.

"So how did these two know what just happened?"

"Well, they were unlucky. The guy from the small company they were clashing with said at the door that someone had died and they wanted to celebrate. Then their employer asked them to go up and ask."

Tien laughed a little happily: "Then there was a conflict, and then they got beaten up. It made me laugh to death. Two mercenaries can't beat a bunch of clerks!"

After laughing, Tien patted Seifer on the shoulder and said, "You're going to check the video, right? I'm telling you, don't pay the highest price. It'll make you jump up and down."

After finding out even this, Seifer felt that it was a bit of a waste of talent to let Tien be the driver.

To silence her, Cypher thought for a moment and asked, "What happened between you and that nurse from Node City?"

Tien grinned: "I liked it before, but now it's in the past."

If this guy was a man, Sefer would probably not be able to resist punching him twice.

I didn't want to argue with her anymore and went to the bar. The bartender was obviously familiar with the place. He stretched out his hand and said, "It's two hundred yuan a minute, starting from five minutes. If you want to buy an hour, you can get ten minutes for free."

Good guy, they charge by the minute.

Seifer asked him what he thought, and the bartender pointed to a small room next to him and said that the monitoring room was inside. He could go in and turn off the screen when the time came. He could watch whatever he wanted during that time.

Without hesitation, he swiped a thousand times, walked into the room, closed and locked the door, blocking the outside view, and had no interest in the images that were constantly circulating and refreshing.

He reached directly under his ribs - to outsiders, it looked like the girl reached directly into her skin and pulled out a strangely shaped blade.

"Dr. Mei, are you ready?"

"Okay, plug it in."

Without hesitation, Sefer inserted the knife into the well-hidden gap under the table, and then stabbed the outer shell of the thing.

There was a rapid silence from Dr. Mei. After a short wait, before the five minutes were up, she replied that it was done and we could leave.

Seifer immediately pulled out the knife, closed the cover, pressed the screw directly into the groove with his fingers, restored the scene and walked out of the room.

The bartender was puzzled: "So soon, we don't give refunds."

"It's okay, I found out."

After answering casually, Seifer thought for a moment and sat back at Tien's table. "We just moved in when a senior executive of a company suddenly died. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"Of course it's a coincidence. Although you've become famous recently, you're still a rookie mercenary after all... Let me think, what the hell is a mercenary? There's an office right here, and you haven't been there, right?" Indeed, he hadn't been there, so he wasn't even interested in the so-called mercenary rankings - I heard that if the ranking was high, the support system would give the mercenaries corresponding rewards, so many people would go and try it when they had time.

"Anyway, don't think too much. Just relax and we'll run. Don't get too involved with these big companies. You can't get away."

Tien said this earnestly, then shook the wine glass, which now only had ice cubes and a small amount of ice water left. "So, Captain, can you give me some more?"

Not wanting to give her any more, Seifer thought for a moment and showed her the goods he had just ordered, which included a bottle of rum that was said to be of good quality.

She immediately stood up, saying that it was really boring to stay in this shabby place for so long, and then she staggered behind Seifer. The two of them went up together, leaving this bustling place with so many conflicts and enemies.

"Have you found a path?" Tien didn't look like he was drunk at all. His face was flushed, but he was sober. He asked while lying on the railing of the bridge outside the bar, which led to the bar on the next floor.

Looking at this situation, someone might deliberately buy her a drink, and then pick her up and have sex with her after she is completely drunk... But maybe, this is a trap.

Seifer shrugged. "Not so fast. The guy in the car is still piecing together the footage. And, further down here, is there a tourist hotel?"

"uh-huh."

Tien said there was some kind of hotel down there with a view of the hot springs and the river, where you could get a close-up view of the fusion of lava and water...

The people in this place are really not afraid of jumping into the lava to swim.

After observing for a while, a shadow appeared on Sefer's UI.

"Here it is, the trajectory line stitched together by various cameras... Oh, you can't see it, I'm just telling you."

Seifer pointed to the sliver of sky above the layers of vertically stacked buildings that looked like something out of a dream.

"After deploying his wingsuit from the top, he headed towards here and happened to cross this platform. He was caught on camera speeding."

Seifer casually slid across from top to bottom, then said with a click of his tongue, "Two hundred and one hundred per hour, you dare to go downhill in a place like this..."

Continuing downward, it followed the narrow gaps between the rocks and buildings on both sides, and lifted up by the violent wind caused by the convection of cold and heat in the lowest building, it took off from the ground and glided towards an unknown direction.

Because it has exceeded the limit of the arranged cameras, we can only conclude that this guy is very skilled in using the wingsuit and is obviously a professional killer.

The clue ends here... I'll wait here for a while. I was planning to follow the trail and at least find something abandoned by the murderer when Dr. Mei suddenly took the initiative to pass on the message.

"I suggest you come back. This hotel is in trouble again... It's good. Next, it should be closed down and liquidated."

Seifer was a little baffled. "What happened? It's impossible that someone planted a bomb and the company executives living there took a homemade plane?"

"Well...it's a little worse than that. Do you remember Feldrich?"

What's there to not remember?

"She's dead. She was stabbed in the back, almost through and through. She's still lying there at the scene. As your VIP...would you like to go and take a look?"

After exchanging a glance with Tien, he immediately stopped caring about this super expert in wingsuit flying and quickly ran to the upper level with Tien.

How long had he been gone? An hour? Just a short while, and his VIP membership was already reimbursed?!
