Chapter 24: witness

Still in the middle of the night, Jeff followed the snake gambling to the outside street. The plan for gambling the snake was to throw him to the regular army of the empire. No useful information was asked from him, so now this civilian Become cumbersome.
Originally, Gambling Snake was going to leave him in his house, and the food there will support some time. Maybe Jeff can survive the pollution. But Jeff also seems to understand the situation very well. He has seen many scenes of people being torn up by mutant creatures. If he wanted him to choose, he would rather go out to adventure with the desire to survive, rather than wait passively in one place. Things improved for themselves. .
The snake gamble took him to a large casino, and a HL unit preparing to withdraw there found Jeff. He walked up with his hands alone, wearing civilian clothes, and no weapons on his body, so the sentries of those units did not have Shot indiscriminately at the first moment.
Watching Jeff being accepted by the army, the gambling snake overlooking at the top of the distant building left.
Since the situation of the institute is basically clear, they can do it by blood. The snake's ability to deal with monsters is not suitable. He is better at dealing with people ... So, he returned to the city and continued to find the goal of this mission. character.
As an old song sings, "This city is never sleepless." This is exactly what Atlantic City is doing now.
From dawn to dark night, the city looks like a shivering tramp, curls itself up, and feels a touch of warmth under the dim street lights. Numerous endless mutant creatures are like sick blood cells. , Roaming the vascular streets.
"Dead" or "alive". Gambling snakes can't tell whether these monsters are "dead people" or "something alive."
What makes it alive? If social status and relationships represent one person, there are too many worthless living dead in this world, even if they die. Nor will it have any impact on the outside world. Similarly, they will not detect the death of any individual like them.
Maybe these monsters look like they are alive. Every time they kill and forage, they will bring fear to others and transform their tangible benefits. This is something they can't do when they are still 'human beings.
Kill. It's also a way to communicate.
The action of betting on snakes was not as smooth as it was in the middle of the night. As the electricity in the city has been restored, hiding the whereabouts will be more laborious.
Now sneaking in the city again, he found that there were many places where people were hiding during the last pass. Or the place where it is regarded as a stronghold has changed. Just in the interval of most of the night, a lot of casual soldiers have turned into monsters' food. Of course, there are also traces showing that some teams evacuated from their original location after power was restored. Went somewhere else.
Secretly investigated the location of several teams of horses and snakes, but no target was found. He became more worried that the man had been killed in the city and consciously accelerated the speed of action.
When the sun rises. The bet snake probed several places where humans gathered, and still found nothing. On the way, he was attacked several times by a few agile monsters, but he was very skillful. Attention and response speed are excellent, and the mutants are resolved without damage. But after this toss, the snake gambler also had to find a place to stop and rest for a while, and slightly replenish some water to restore the body to a certain state.
He lightly climbed up a building's fire stairs and found a room with closed windows, and easily dived in.
There is no smell in the room, which is a good sign. The snake gambler first explored all the rooms one by one, and after confirming the safety, he slightly relaxed his vigilance and went to the kitchen.
Some liquid drinks can always be found in the refrigerator, but it's really impossible. Open the refrigerator and there will also be ice water that melts when the power is turned off.
The bet snake went straight to the refrigerator, but he just put his hand on the handle, and the door of the refrigerator popped open from the inside. A thin man was standing in the refrigerator, holding a shotgun, and pointing out, "Don't move!" "
But when the man saw the situation in front of him, he was surprised, because he was empty. He wondered in his heart: He just heard the footsteps approaching here clearly, and the timing of the rush was just right. If the other party wants to avoid it, it won't be so fast?
As he was about to step out and look again, a grenade-like thing flew in from a weird angle and landed at his feet. The man was frightened because the bottom end of the refrigerator door was about his The knee part, so his posture to bend down to pick up the gadget will be awkward, it is very possible to miss or miss it, so he instinctively fired the gun, trying to crawl out of the refrigerator.
But a strong hand closed the door of the refrigerator in the blind spot of the man's sight. The man couldn't open the top, and he struggled like crazy in the refrigerator, causing the whole refrigerator to fall down. . The side of the door is facing down, this time he can't escape even more ...
Five minutes later, the man regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had come out of the refrigerator, and before the brain could resume operation, the physical discomfort quickly struck. He ran to the sink on one side and lay on his back. There was vomiting for a long time, as if to turn the stomach over.
After finally panting, the thin man turned around and looked at the guy behind him with a gun in his chair, how he looked like a killer. He asked with a bitter smile: "How do you know I'm inside?"
"It's a good idea to hide in the refrigerator," the snake said. "But you made two more serious mistakes. First, the separators that were taken out of the refrigerator should be destroyed or thrown away. It ’s not good to go underneath the bed. I just guessed that there was someone in the refrigerator when I found it. As for the second ...
He unexpectedly threw the shotgun back into the skinny man ’s hand. There is too much humidity inside, and the barrel is immersed in water. "
"Okay, friend, maybe I'm a bit guilty, but you shouldn't use tear gas, it's still in such a small place." The thin man complained.
"That's not tear gas." Snake Bet replied: "If it is, when I open the refrigerator door, the whole house's range will be affected, and I am also in this range."
"Then what did you throw?"
"My own remodeled gadget. I call it 'skunk's egg.' Do you want to hear the recipe?"
"Go ..." The skinny man heard this and vomited some stomach acid again.
"Now, let's talk about the business." Snake said.
"What? What's the matter? I don't know what your name is yet."
"I know your name, that's it." Snake Gamble said word by word: "Mr. Selz Ain, there is an old saying about iron-made shoes and the like, I've heard others say, At the moment, I think that is the case. "
"Ha ... haha." Seltz showed a smile that could not be faked. "What are you talking about, man, my name is ..."
"It is undoubtedly an outstanding talent to be a staff member of the Kleis family at the age of twenty-five." Snake Gamble interrupted the other's lies and said, "You are a smart person, so after a few years, you Run away, with a huge sum of money and countless secrets, and of course a few fake identities in exchange for high prices. You are bold, greedy, but also wise. "
"I don't know what you're talking about ..." Seltz still didn't seem to want to admit it.
"Be assured, I'm not the one who the Cryes sent to hunt you down. If I were, you would have died." Snake said, "I remind you, suppose you think your paper-level abilities can threaten you. My life, or if I can help you escape, you will make another mistake. The consequences of this mistake will be more serious than if you hide in the refrigerator. "
Seltz's eyes widened and cold sweat, in fact, he was faintly aware of it. When the bet snake struck the refrigerator door with his hand, he apparently completely suppressed himself in strength. At this moment, the other party said Remarks about the ability level, coupled with this tone, is nothing more than an announcement of a gap in strength.
"What do you want?" Seltz was, as the snake said, a wise guy.
"You should ask, what do I want to give you," said the snake snake.
"A bullet?"
"No, it's redemption." The snake gambled his head slightly and looked straight into his eyes. "You used to serve a sinful family, but today you can be the key person to kill them."
"Ha ... ha ha ha ha ha ..." Seltz said: "Are you crazy? You might as well give me a bullet directly, do you want me to testify to the Kles family? Hahaha ... in the Empire In the court? Did you not figure out who opened the knock gate? I said, man, you might as well go into their house by yourself and see if you can kill a few. "
"If I tell you that there is a high-powered big man who is about to eradicate the Kles family, and he lacks the last help ..." Snake Gamble stopped for a moment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ want to observe Waltz's response was also to give the other party some time to think: "Would you like to be a helper?"
"Who did you send?" Seltz was completely confused. "Are you an agent of the emperor? It must be! You can find me in this city in this situation ..."
Gambling snakes ignored him for breaking the topic, and then said: "Those trades of the Kleis family ... drug trade, prostitution, human trafficking and arms trade, etc. It is not difficult to collect their evidence, but to use ' It is very difficult for them to be overthrown by legal means without a witness.
You, Selz Ain, is a powerful witness. History may engrave your name. As long as you make the right choice and do what everyone with a conscience will do. "
"Huh ... by your own words, I should believe that the Kleis family will be destroyed?" Seltz sneered: "I don't believe it! Their power is too great, bigger than some princes! How could that be? ... "
"Why can't they be defeated?" The cold tone of the gambling snake seemed very convincing: "Any oppressor will usher in the end they deserve. Some people call it karma, and I call it justice. "(To be continued.)
