Steel Steam and Flame

Next to him, Wells looked at the pile of documents nearly thirty centimeters high, pursed his mouth, and finally sighed, only to pick up a part of it. It's all personnel information, some are detailed, and some are simple information like names. I saw several familiar names in the data, all of them were members of the area under his management.

　　 Some materials are marked, but some are obviously denied. Ten minutes later, Wells finished reading a bit and asked Hesley with two samples, "Mr. Hesley, are these rejected members because they are not qualified?"

"In most cases, we did not meet the information obtained after our actual investigation. That is to say, we did not meet our standards, but a small number of people were unwilling to join. These people found their own way or were very interested in the association. Confidence.” Hesley then turned his head. “There is still a lot of personnel information, and these are only the first part. You can categorize it according to the template you are familiar with. When you finally divide the specific area, you can call it immediately, and as Necessary reference. As if there are tasks in your hands, when you assign these tasks, there must be a few suitable candidates in your mind? It is enough to achieve this effect. As for the future, there is still a lot of information that needs to be made into a database, but then It should be a few months from now."

"But our pace here is very fast, and things in the future will break out at many specific times. In addition, I have a guess that you need to pay attention. Later, when a net is cast, it will definitely attract attention. Whether it is a bounty hunter, It’s a mercenary, or someone who is willing to leave in certain forces. I don’t know how many people this network will attract, but well, this aggregation effect will always appear at a certain time. At that time..."

　　 "Information statistics will come in handy, and screening needs to be faster and more convenient. I have experienced this many times, and there have been many similar situations in the growth of the association. Please don't worry about this."

After speaking, Wells nodded, "In that case, Mr. Hesley, I think I need to stay in one place. It is certainly not very practical to want a machine that specializes in processing information, but with paper and pen, I think it is necessary. of."

　　 At four o'clock in the afternoon, the limousine went smoothly to a hotel next to the train station. When Hickson and others saw Wells, they all showed unexpected expressions, and Wells could only deal with it with a dry smile.

"Tickets at 8 o'clock in the evening." Hesley said, looking at the six people in the living room of the suite. "Because the luggage inspection is involved, can any of you have a way to get our things through?" The six looked at each other. , And finally the eyes of the five people gathered on Wells.

Pursing his mouth, Wells looked around for a few times before speaking, "There is a risk of exposure. Because these people may contact the association, I can't guarantee safety. There are other methods, but they require a certain amount of money. The currency and cash in the Principality of Inance is about 50,000 yuan, and the rest can be handed over to me."

　　、、、、、、

　　 The same Norman Spencer tavern, the same sign, but the layout, environment, and location have all changed.

　　 Daya League, the tavern in the evening is quite lively, all because of an announcement from the association yesterday. In the next month, all tasks will be cancelled or become suspended until the association handles certain matters. The specific cancellation time will be notified by the association one month later.

　　Many people who are resting choose to come to the nearest pub to see if they can get other information. At the same time, I also meet with other people. The task time is often staggered. It is a rare opportunity to see other people's changes and exchange some information.

　　 It's just that most people are disappointed. The bartender here only knows that there is such a notice, and he doesn't know the other information. Seeing the people who walked into the tavern from time to time, everyone smiled at himself, and the bartender knew he had to explain carefully from start to finish.

"Broad, I didn’t expect you to come. Let me talk about it first. I don’t know anything about the notification. I just accepted it, just like you, but with one more thing—it requires the pub to operate normally. For you, I think Others may be waiting to ask for some additional information from you." The bartender was mixing the wine, and when he saw a mature man walk in, he immediately put down the work in his hand, spoke, and turned to take out the good wine. When I arrived, a full glass was placed on the counter, "Why are you interested in coming over. I haven't seen you for a long time."

　　 "It's only two months," said the man named Broad. The hair is very short, and it is appropriate to say that it has not been a few days after shaved. He seemed to be a very ordinary person, with a gentle expression, but his eyes would scan around him from time to time, full of unknown vigilance.

　　 "Thank you." Broad said after taking a sip, and then asked, "Have you been here?"

The bartender was dumbfounded before he understood what was going on: "Except for Sivi and Tretek, they have all been here. But only a week or two ago I heard that they both took over a good task. The mission was called off, so they should stay with their employers or their prey.” As he said, the bartender leaned forward and leaned close to Broad’s side and said softly, “I heard it’s a multi-million mission. I'm looking for you. But you seem to be doing something else, so the association sent the two of them over to ensure that there are no accidents in the mission."

　　 "So..." Broad nodded, showing a look of gratitude.

　　 "No thanks." The bartender said with a smile, turning around and continuing to organize the rows of wine bottles, "I don't know what happened recently, the association's actions are obviously abnormal. Broad, you don't have..."

　　The bartender turned around again, and within a few seconds before and after, when he looked at Broad’s position, there was no one there. In addition to an empty cup, there is also a thousand yuan coin. The money is enough for that glass of wine.

　　 "Still the same." The bartender said as he walked over to pick up the cup and money, and shrugged. He has experienced this habit of Broadway many times, and each time it disappeared silently, "It stands to reason that I am a surgeon in the first stage, so I can't feel any movement. Is his strength too low, or Say that Broad's strength is too strong?"

　　 Soon after, Broad came out of the tavern and walked on the dimly lit street. He likes this atmosphere very much. In an unusually quiet night, after hiding the sound of footsteps, he seems to have blended into the environment, becoming erratic. It is to go back to his residence, the suburbs of this city.

　　 In the eyes of many people in the tavern, Brod is a very lonely person. Except for two or three people, only the bartender can talk to him. Broad also likes this. He actively devotes himself to the task when he has a task. He doesn't go to the city when he has nothing to do. Staying in his residence and exercising is his only hobby. This state has been going on for two years, and Broad is not tired of it.

　　 It’s a few kilometers away from the city center, and within a hundred meters, the dim street lights on the side of the street have come to an end. This city is one of the important cities of the Daya Alliance, but the popularity of electricity is not very broad. There is only one street lamp standing twenty to thirty meters away. The high-voltage lamps inside are also the lowest power. In Broad's view, all such street lamps are removed and the effect seems to be better.

　　 Moving on, Broad was thinking about the notice issued by the association. Indeed, as he did not get the slightest message from the management staff, it is affirmative that such notifications arouse speculation.

　　 "Da" thoughts were finally interrupted by Brod's own footsteps. Being vigilant about the unknown around him made him tensed up, and the power of his feet was not controlled, making a stepping sound. The next moment, Broad jumped backwards, and when he was two meters away, the original ground suddenly exploded, and the stone slab on the sidewalk ground exploded a considerable pit.

　　 Brod didn't even think about it, so he turned to his back. At the same time, several shimmering lights flickered, but all the street lights within two hundred meters of this street were all broken with the sound of "pops", and the night officially fell. After a few steps, he immediately slowed down, and Broad curled up to hide by the low wall beside the road. On the side is a fenced residential building with lights shining a few times. Squinting his eyes to determine the current intensity of light, Brod dispelled the idea of ​​turning over and going to the residential building.

　　 Although the opponent only fired one shot, Broad did not hear any gunshots coming. It can be judged that the enemy has made corresponding preparations to muffle the sound and flames. Committed to the shadow under the wall at this moment is the best way to hide.

"Is it followed from the tavern?" Brod shook his gun tightly and moved slowly under the corner. "This is a straight street. If the opponent shoots directly regardless of the influence, it is difficult to avoid the intertwined fire net. He is good at concealment. People? But it's been more than half an hour since I came out, so I didn't notice any abnormality on the way. I have investigated in advance and the residence has been exposed and arranged for people to guard the past streets?"

　　 "If so, based on the distance, everyone else can get here in five minutes." Broad moved carefully, thinking. But the next moment, thinking was interrupted again, and the perception was obvious that something was pointing towards him. The dual script could drag his body back more than one meter, and the fragments of the slate exploded even hit his face.

"Can you see me?" Broad retreated quickly. As far as his gaze was, the surrounding darkness was no longer the degree to which the surgeon could clearly see everything by capturing it with low light. "Temperature perception?" Several other bullets followed Broad's trajectory and exploded into the ground.

"The bullet was coated, and the ballistic line could not be wiped out, and there was no gunfire. I became blind." Brod cursed while moving irregularly, "Then, who would it be? The people over there finally Chasing it over? But the price is a bit high. If you disappear yourself, you will compromise. Forget it, run it first, and consider this later!"

At this point, Brod didn't want to think about it anymore. He took a deep breath, and in the night there was the sound of tearing the cloth. Then, a man with his muscles **** was like a hairless mutant beast, shaped like a cannonball. I jumped to the residential area, and disappeared under the dim light in the blink of an eye~www.readwn.com~ At the same time, on the other side, not far from several residential buildings, it was a five-story building. the top of. The three of them got up from their prone state and looked in the direction where Broad ran away.

　　 "I didn't know he had this ability." The person who spoke seemed to be demonstrating something, "We never did a mission together."

"Looks very withdrawn and quiet. I didn't expect to develop this ability." This time it was a female voice. There was a sense of disappointment in the words, as if seeing the essence of a friend. I thought I would do some resistance."

　　 "It is shameful to escape, but it is really useful. Although this kind of surgical development ability is not very good, it is indeed very practical." This sentence seems very pertinent, "But, are we putting more pressure on it?"

"Should be." The other two said at the same time, "Muffling, extinguishing flames, coated bullets, straight streets, and excellent locations prepared in advance, even if there is a building layout here in their heads, there is no reference. Under circumstances, it is really difficult to find our location."

　　 "Then..." the man asked, "Do you want to keep chasing? Boss."

"Of course, otherwise, it will take a few more days to find his trace. The time is coming." As he said, there was a sound of dismantling the gun, "Wait for a little test on you by the way, and try my best to keep up with me. Speed. I will look at your limits, and then I can make a better plan."

　　 "Thank you, boss." The two said at the same time.
