Chapter 618: Overnight Attack
The conversation lasted less than ten minutes before Qi Lin left the Pawa Military Industry.
He didn't have much to say, it was impossible for Xiao Lei to leave "free will" now, and he couldn't help him.
Xiao Lei is just a pawn, and he is the kind that crosses the river, he can only keep moving forward, and there is a possibility of being eaten at any time.
But Qi Lin knew that this game of chess would not be finished, and at some point in the future, the entire chessboard would be overturned, and then replaced with a larger chessboard and started over.
It will be an extremely bloody reshuffle, many people will die, but those who can finally get up from the pool of blood will surely soar.
In chess, an insignificant pawn can complete a "promotion" as long as it can fight through a bloody path and reach the end of the other end of the board......
In fact, Qi Lin himself is not a "pawn", he can only move forward, he can't stop, the disputes between the consortiums, the conflicts between the consortiums and the rebels, the secrets between humans and the mastermind, all of this is like a huge wheel, rolling forward with everyone, once stopped, it will be crushed to pieces.
……
Back at the bar, Qi Lin had just sat down in front of Wind Rose, and the latter looked at him complainingly and said in a low voice, "I heard that the Pree auction was attacked by the rebels, but you actually did it, right?" You're so uninteresting that you won't take me, and lie to me that you're just going to see—"
"I'm really just going to see it." Qi Lin asked the waiter for a glass of cold beer, and only after the waiter walked away did he continue, "Although I also thought about doing something, but this time it was really not my hand, someone took the lead, it was a group of real rebels." ”
"Huh? You really didn't do it? ”
"It's really not, you don't want to think about it, it was a group of rebels who robbed the auction, and I was alone, where did I get so many 'accomplices'."
"Okay...... Even if it's not you, it's still cool to think about, so you should be there, right? Are the guys who participated in the auction scared to pee? Ha, I can make up that picture in my head, a group of masked men suddenly rushed into the auction room, AK47 in their hands swept towards the auction seat, and suddenly those who were sitting in comfortable seats fell into a large area, and the ground was covered with blood......"
"You are a Hollywood action movie of the old days, and the people who died in this incident were all the staff of the Pray Consortium, and the casualties of the guests participating in the auction were not serious, and most of them were evacuated in time."
"Huh? That's boring! ”
Qi Lin naturally knew the reason why "free will" did this—they could have massacred those unarmed and defenseless VIPs, just like those brainless thugs in the movie did, but this was not the situation that the Beiling Foundation wanted to see.
These distinguished VIPs are not members of the Pré Consortium, there are hundreds of different forces large and small behind them, once they provoke public anger, even the Beiling Consortium will definitely not be able to maintain their "free will", and even they themselves will not be able to escape the impact.
The main purpose of Xiao Lei's operation was to sabotage the auction of the Pré Consortium, so that the frightened VIPs could transfer their anger and dissatisfaction to the Pré Consortium - the auction was attacked, the lot was looted, the casualties were killed, and the "rebel saboteurs" who carried out the attack successfully escaped...... Each of these things can label the Pré consortium as "incompetent", which will greatly reduce the status and credibility of the Pré consortium in the circle, after all, no one will feel at ease to do business with a force that can even disrupt their own auctions.
Being able to do this, the purpose of the Beiling Foundation's action this time has been achieved, and as for those looted lots, it is just an additional entry.
"It's getting late, it's time for us to get out of here."
"Huh? What are you doing? Let's say it first, the old lady is not the kind of casual woman! Wind Rose suddenly looked at Qi Lin with a wary gaze.
"What???" Qi Lin looked confused.
"Don't you know that when a man says something like 'it's not early' to a woman, especially after this woman has drunk a lot of alcohol, there must be some lewd intentions? The old lady knows that she is very beautiful and has a great figure, so you definitely can't have no thoughts about the old lady. Look, you've finally revealed your true colors—"
"I'll go!" Qi Lin held his forehead with one hand, and with the other hand, he knocked a shudder on Wind Rose's head, which was not wearing a helmet, "What the fuck are you thinking!" I mean, it's getting dark, it's time for us to leave Tomahawk City to 'collect our debts'!" ”
"Debt collection? What debts to collect? …… Wait, you mean going to Tomahawk City? Tomahawk City of the Tomahawk Mercenary Regiment? Wind Rose immediately covered her head and was about to fight back, but she was suddenly stunned by Qi Lin's words.
"That's right, according to Lexing Star Shield's intelligence, it was the Tomahawk mercenary group who attacked us in Sewage Town before, and it is very likely that the last piece of fragment is in their hands." Qi Lin said solemnly.
"Let's go, fuck it, my mother has wanted to try this beam saber for a long time-"
Wind Rose stood up excitedly, but she seemed to forget that she was wearing ER004 armor, and hit her head on the low ceiling of the bar, and the protruding horns on her shoulder armor directly pierced two huge holes in the ceiling of the bar.
……
After paying a few hundred points in compensation, Qi Lin and Wind Rose finally sent the plague god to the bartender...... Ah no, it was the God of Wealth who left the bar in his eyes.
"I said, it's too dark, isn't it, but it's just crushing a few cups and poking two holes in the ceiling, and you have to pay more than 800?" Until he left the new Xi'an City, Wind Rose was still chattering and complaining.
"Come on, it's not your money, I don't want to waste time in the bar." Qi Lin glanced up at the sky, it was only five o'clock now, but the sky had already changed from gray to a deep blue-black.
"Tomahawk City is in this direction, eighty kilometers away." Qi Lin said to Wind Rose after determining the direction.
"It's only eighty kilometers, how about it, do you want the old lady to take you? If necessary, sit obediently on the old lady's shoulder. Wind Rose smiled and patted the power armor's broad shoulder armor.
"No, it's too late for us to run over, the scheduled time to launch an attack is four o'clock in the morning, that's when the online players are the least, and the spirit is the most exhausted, there is plenty of time, what needs to be paid attention to is the energy reserve of ER004, don't use laser weapons indiscriminately, otherwise I won't save you if the power armor can't move when the real fight starts."
"I know, I know, my mother is carrying a whole backpack of energy blocks this time!"
