Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Exploiting conflicts within gangs to further divide and attack them does sound like a good idea. Except for the gang members, no one has a good impression of the gang. If they can find the place where the gang stores their funds and items, they can even make a small fortune. Therefore, the two sisters, who are "always short of money", are very supportive of Ge Gongdao's proposal.

However, Zhuang Xuteng put forward a different opinion. He pointed out an important issue ignored by the other three: "It is good to crack down on gangs. How to crack down on them can be planned in detail later, but why should we crack down on them? We are planning to use the power of the four of us to eradicate them." Cemetery gang, or just fighting for a better operating environment for implant care shops?”

The other three people understood what Zhuang Xuteng meant as soon as they heard it. They didn't have the bad habit of overestimating their capabilities, so they said: "It must be for the latter, for our store. If it's a little bigger, it's for the few people around. neighborhood.”

"Yes, we must first clarify the goal, and then we can make plans around the goal. Now we have a small plate and cannot withstand the tossing, so we must not think about where to do it, waste or misuse our strength." Zhuang Xuteng said: "One There are conflicts within the Cemetery Gang, and secondly, the PCPD still has the possibility to fight against the Cemetery Gang. These are all starting points. How to start from here and serve our goals is what we need to think clearly at the moment. of."

"It makes sense." Ge Gongdao touched the back of his head and said, "The current information is not detailed enough and needs to be dug deeper. If we can figure out what kind of specific conflicts there are between who and who, we can make a plan. Eh? Naike, why are you laughing?"

"My good brother, you are right. It's just that such intelligence gathering is a bit beyond our ability and budget. Moreover, particularly precise attacks can easily arouse the opponent's alert." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "I I’ll give you a simple way: Find out if the gang leader in our area is someone who wants to expand. If so, then cause trouble for the surrounding gangs and give him a reason to expand. His defense in this area There will be problems that we can exploit. If he doesn't like to expand, we will deal with him, stab him, and attract other people in the gang to bite him."

"It's really much easier when you say it this way." Ge Gongdao smiled and patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, this kind of personality thing is easier to find out, and it's much easier than searching where they keep their money. I’m going to look for information on this.”

"You must pay attention to your own safety... Do you want me to go? My body and appearance are relatively featureless."

"I know a lot of people, and Otter taught me some slang and some ways to safely buy and sell information." Ge Gongdao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me and wait for my news!"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then turned to look at the sisters. "You two also have a mission. The environment around the implant care shop is not as good as we expected. If we take action, it will be difficult not to expose something, which will affect the function of this place as a retreat and recuperation point. I don't know if you Will there be intelligence deception, but we have to find a way to add camouflage and protection here so that we are prepared!"

Nightingale and Yanque nodded, looked at each other, smiled, and said, "We do have ideas in this regard, but all camouflage and protection come with costs. We don't want to pay for it alone. It's best if the four of us can share it equally."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing it equally." Zhuang Xuteng looked at Brother Dao, and after seeing him nodding, he said, "That's it, the four of us will share it equally. But don't spend money arbitrarily, we are very likely to There’s no work to do.”

Nightingale and Rock Bird didn't know the news yet, so they asked why. So Zhuang Xuteng simply stated that Lucy was currently reintegrating her powers. Of course, he concealed the part about "Lucy's abilities are stretched thin".

"It seems that some of the mercenaries need to find other jobs..." Nightingale patted her chest and said to her sister, "If we didn't join this team, I'm afraid the two of us would have to find other jobs."

"I don't think so." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "I have been in this business for so many years. There are mercenaries everywhere who can fight, but there are only a few people who can go to the front line to control intelligence like you two. Tens of millions. Don’t think you’re not good enough, and don’t believe what others say about you not being good. It’s all mental abuse. No one in our team can do it without anyone, so remember this!”

"Remember, thank you Brother Dao!" Yanque stuck out his tongue, looking very relaxed.

So in the following days, Ge Gongdao used his channels to collect more information, while Zhuang Xuteng asked Morgana to inquire about the situation of the PCPD here.

If a store became a base for launching attacks on gangs before it opened, it would be too unprofessional, so Doyle quickly attracted the first batch of official customers. He found his old comrades in arms and visited them. Not only did he catch up with them, he also introduced them to the implant care shop. When they heard that this store was called "Veteran's Home", his comrades couldn't help but burst into tears. Not to mention that they do have some problems with implant side effects, even if there are no problems at all, because of the name, they will come to support them no matter what.

The original name of this "Veteran's Home" was given by Doyle. He was a veteran himself, and this was his last home. He really didn't expect that he would accidentally attract his old comrades to become the first customers, nor did he expect that the market would actually open up.

"The maintenance here is really good. Not only is it really effective, but the price is also very affordable. They don't sell weird things, especially no blue powder..."

The first wave of word-of-mouth about the Implant Care Shop was the good reviews, which spread among Doyle's fellow veterans. Due to the recent flood of advertisements for implant care shops, everyone in Peicheng actually knows that there is such a business, but they don’t know where to start. At this point, genuine positive reviews from word of mouth can often provide the final word.

Once these old men who are usually relatively silent start to promote a certain store, they will be very persuasive among their group of people. As soon as old men and women tell their children at home, the name of the Veterans Home will leave an impression in their minds.

In the next few days, there were not only repeat customers, but also occasional visitors. They all received careful care from the Veterans Home. It happened that Zhuang Xuteng stayed in the store without any entrusted tasks. Whenever there was a complicated situation that he didn't know how to deal with before, he would come over and ask him for advice, and he would tell them everything. Not only would he tell them what to do, but he would also explain clearly why they should do it.

Although the nursing shop does not have the ability to treat people, it can at least help people who come here get rid of pain and obstacles and continue to live in a better state. Even if it is just treating the symptoms, being able to do a good job is already a success. Besides, the Veterans Home does not charge any fees other than its own services. People who have been here once have nothing bad to say about this place. Most of them will come back and become repeat customers. After about two weeks, the Veterans Home was able to basically have one or two customers in the store, and it was no longer deserted and empty. In this way, passers-by will look at it curiously and remember the name of this maintenance shop.

The problem that everyone was most worried about was finally solved, and the business is alive and well! The store has a high success rate in converting new customers into repeat customers, which is the best sign. Implant maintenance is a long-term job, and it is best to develop a regular habit so that the cost of each maintenance can be reduced. This is Doyle's business philosophy. Forming a loyal repeat customer base will last longer than trying to trick one customer after another.

Seeing that the situation has improved, Zhuang Xuteng and other shareholders are naturally very happy, but they are also worried that when the business improves, it will attract harassment from gangs. Ge Gongdao investigated for a while and found out some new information. The leader of the Cemetery Gang who directly "rules" them - "The Hanged Man" Carlos - is a very ambitious guy. He has someone covering him, and he is always very bold when he acts. For such a person, as long as opportunities are created for him, it will be difficult for him not to "play his part".

Things will be simple next. Everyone is divided into two groups. Some people are looking for the weaknesses of nearby gangs, and the other group is trying to figure out where Carlos's weak points are. With these two pieces of information, everyone can formulate a plan of action to cause chaos within the Cemetery Gang.

Just when they were looking for something to do, Lucy called them and asked them to go there as soon as possible. It was an urgent mission.

Zhuang Xuteng asked and confirmed that it was not a middleman war and Lucy's safety was not threatened, so he was not so anxious. He and everyone prepared the equipment that might be used in the operation, and then went to find Lucy as if he was on a formal mission, so that he didn't have to waste time going back to get the equipment.

The White Beast armored vehicle was driven by Ge Gongdao, with Nightingale and Yanque also sitting in the vehicle. A motorcycle was also installed in the rear compartment, while Zhuang Xuteng drove the Armored Weasel himself. They came to Lucy's music restaurant and saw that everything was as usual here, with laughter and soothing music coming from the restaurant, and they knew that even if it was an emergency this time, it was by no means a very dangerous situation.

"An accident occurred while an action team was performing a commissioned mission." After seeing them, Lucy said straight to the point: "I need you to find their location, understand their situation, and rescue them."

Mercenary rescue mission? This is so rare.

Unless they are partners in the same team, such as Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, the mercenaries only have interests tied to each other and there is no comradeship. All mercenaries or mercenary teams have to face entrusted tasks by themselves, earn money from the tasks, and bear the risks of the tasks. Even if they die in the task, that is their own destiny.

The middleman will provide support and help the mercenaries complete the finishing work of the mission, including destroying corpses, eliminating traces, disposing of stolen goods, etc. Support is not rescue. If something happens to the mercenary, the middleman will usually change the nature of the finishing work and change it to "clearing the relationship and clearing up the relationship." When something happens to a group of mercenaries, they usually ask for help themselves and let someone they are familiar with and trustworthy come to save them. Mercenary rescue missions initiated by intermediaries are few and far between.

"Who to save? Our people?" Ge Gongdao asked.

Lucy shook her head and said: "Another middleman's mercenary team, seven people, all elites. Their target is here, outside the city, an old house next to Route 6, which is considered to be the rookie training for the Cemetery Gang Base. They received a commission to blow this place up to the sky. Seven people started taking action, and then they disappeared."

Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "This makes no sense! A team of seven people suddenly disappeared, and the operation should be terminated immediately. There is no reason to send more people there. We only have four people at full capacity, two intelligence officers and two thugs. I am a part-time driver. Are we going to rescue seven people?"

"Don't worry, listen to me." Lucy reassured Ge Gong and continued. "I had exactly the same idea as you at the beginning, but my judgment must be based on caution and not on imagination or impulsiveness, so I still asked people to conduct an investigation. The investigation found that the seven people were still alive, but in very poor condition. They were This little hut stuck next to the old house was originally used as a living quarters for servants.”

"The house was not guarded or even locked. It seemed that the people from the Cemetery Gang in the old house threw them there and left them alone. My intelligence officer obtained the surveillance footage there. The seven people were disarmed and had He was only wearing single clothes, and judging from the scars, he had been in a fight before."

"They were probably discovered by the Cemetery Gang and then became prisoners without beating them, but there is currently no clue as to why they were thrown into that two-story hut. Judging from the surveillance footage, these seven people were in a bad mental state and behaved in a confused manner. Confused and delirious, as if using a lot of blue crystal products. Why the Cemetery Gang didn't kill them is also a mystery."

Lucy tapped the table with her fingers and said: "Now that they have found their location and they are still alive, for every person rescued, the team will receive a reward of 350,000 euros, with a guarantee of 250,000 euros. What do you think of this mission? How about it?"

It is said that money moves people's hearts. A little calculation will tell that if all seven people are rescued, the income of Zhuang Xuteng's team will be 2.7 million euros, and each of the four people can get 675,000 euros. From this perspective, this is indeed a good business, but is it so simple?

Zhuang Xuteng immediately asked Lu Xi: "Are there any previous images in the surveillance system, such as how the Seven were caught and how they were brought to that cabin?"

Lucy shook her head and said: "That surveillance system only records. There are eighty-seven cameras on the outside of the old house, forty-six inside, and eight in the servants' cabin. They found thirty people and divided them into three shifts. Stay in the control room and watch the screen to understand what is happening around you. The sirens are at their fingertips. Maybe it’s because there are too many images, so they only watch them but don’t record them.”

"The lives of the seven people are not in danger for the time being, right?"

"If you ask if there is any obvious trauma or disease, there is indeed no. Broken ribs, broken nose, as long as the wound is not fatal, we will not talk about this type of thing. What is more difficult now is their mental state and the use of drugs. The impact cannot be determined accurately from the surveillance footage. They may be safe and sound all the time, or they may die in the next second. If you have seen someone overdose, you should know what I mean."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded. He met this kind of person in the Hope Clinic. One second he was still conscious and came to ask for help, but the next second he suddenly died and fell straight down, completely unable to be saved.

"Sister Lucy, do you think this commission is acceptable?" Zhuang Xuteng asked directly.

Lucy nodded and said: "In addition to the current good intelligence support and the right price, the elite team is the most valued by the middlemen. Once it is done, it will be beneficial to you and me. I think we should take it."
