C10 Strange night

Jiang Tao and the other two found a place to sit after arriving at the waiting room. The strange warmth was transmitted from their backs to each other. The stifling air was filled with the soft sounds of breathing, causing them to tense up even more.

"This place really doesn't make people feel at ease." Jiang Tao looked around and said irritably. The place was a mess, and most of the chairs were in tatters. If there was a bit of wind, it would be able to squeak. Due to poor contact, the lights hanging from the ceiling constantly flickered, creating a scene that could be filmed without any special effects.

"This is your request." Zhu Zhu Zhu Rong glanced at Jiang Tao and continued saying with a snort, "To think that there would be such a shabby place in the Middle Kingdom. It is practically a building from the ancient times."

"Don't sleep tonight, you still have to work in the morning. Furthermore, this damn place is not safe for me to sleep in. " Jiang Tao straightened out his clothes and stood up. Just as he was about to lift his foot, Leng Hanxuan was the first to notice it. He quickly grabbed Jiang Tao and asked worriedly, "Hey, where are you going?"

Jiang Tao looked at Leng Hanxuan, took his hand away and walked out of the waiting room. He left them to take a walk for a while before disappearing without a trace.

Not long after Jiang Tao left, Zhu Zhu Zhu Rong dusted off the dust on her clothes and walked to the other side.

Watching the two leave, one after the other, Leng Xuan couldn't help but feel depressed. Why were they separated the moment they arrived at the waiting room? Could it be that the relationship between the two of them had reached a point where they were incompatible like fire and water?

After exiting the waiting room, a cold wind suddenly blew down, causing Jiang Tao to retract his neck. He had always wondered why Han Bin Hao, who lived in the city of Saint, would lead troops to the capital and start a war in an underground casino to clean up heretics. What was even more strange was that in this era where every piece of land was used up and developed, abandoned areas would appear. And Zhu Zhu Chi actually knew how to access this area.

All of this seemed to have been arranged on purpose …

"Boom …"

The sound of the train's whistle exploded in the silent night. Jiang Tao's heart suddenly shrunk. This era's cars had all used new technology to muffle the sound, so where did this sound come from?!

A dangerous smell accompanied by a cold wind came over, causing Jiang Tao to shiver.

As he thought about what happened before, he heard the strange sound of a car. This series of strange events had formed a mystery in his heart, making him unable to help himself from looking for the source of the sound.

The source was at the back of the waiting room where Jiang Tao had come from, a wasteland that was overgrown with weeds. Jiang Tao hid behind a stone wall formed by piles of rubble. He used a 1.6m tall weed to cover his body, only exposing one eye to look around.

Jiang Tao happened to be able to see everything from where he was. To his shock, the broken carriage of the royal family's personal truck was thrown to the ground. A man whose entire body was radiating flames jumped down from one of the cars and made a call.

"Hello, hello."

A polite voice came from the other end of the phone. It was unclear whether it was a male or female voice, but it had clearly been specially processed.

"The thing you wanted has arrived. When are you going to pick it up?"

The mysterious man took a few photos and sent them over. After a "di di di" sound, the other end of the phone slowly said, "I just received news that we are not sure if the goods you are responsible for are real or fake. According to reliable news, there are hundreds of cars leaving in front of and behind us. "I can't guarantee that what you've received is real. I have to inspect the goods. If it's fake, we can continue to cooperate."

"Alright, I'll send it over to you now."

"Rumble …"

The phone was hung up after the man in flames had finished talking. Jiang Tao, who was not far behind the fire man, took everything into his eyes.

The fire man had a sword on his waist, and the patterns on the sword made Jiang Tao feel a sense of familiarity. Without exception, Jiang Tao had also overheard their conversation over the phone. All of this had caused Jiang Tao to feel an abnormal unease. He felt that this silent night foreshadowed the arrival of a storm.

Jiang Tao was silent as he summarized the information he had received.

As heir to Cartagena, Truman led troops to Midtown.

An abandoned area that should not have appeared in Central City.

Hundreds of royal special trains set out at the same time and were hijacked by unknown forces.

Finally, there was the enigmatic woman, Zhu Zhu Zhu Rong.

Jiang Tao's mind was in a mess. He knew very well that there were only three trains exclusive to the royal family, and each one of them represented a person's identity. The royal train just now didn't belong to anyone in the Royal Family. In essence, it was' a train with the royal insignia ', not' a royal train '. However, there were only two forces that could hijack a train so openly. One of them was the Cross Church, which had stood up to the Holy Church for hundreds of years. The other was the Alliance for the Revival of the Variants.

After considering all of these factors, Jiang Tao immediately came up with a conclusion. The cargo in the train was most likely a new weapon, but the news had already leaked out before the transport was completed. In order to prevent the looting of weapons, the Holy Church had put all the trains under the Royal Family's exclusive sign at the same time. They had messed with the informants in order to ensure the safety of the goods.

Before Jiang Tao could digest all of this, the fire man had already collected all of the carriages into his nanosized robe. He arched his body and with a few leaps, he disappeared from where he stood.

After a long while, after Jiang Tao confirmed that he was safe, he carefully walked out. Then, he circled around to the front door of the waiting room from the back, sorted out his emotions, and walked in.

Strangely, there was no one in the waiting room, which made Jiang Tao hold his breath.

"Yo!"

A shout suddenly sounded out next to Jiang Tao's ears. Jiang Tao felt something heavy on his shoulders, and the hairs on his body immediately stood up as he dodged with a strange cry. Startled, Jiang Tao saw Leng Hanxuan with three cups of water, looking at him with a smirk on his face, a nameless fire burning in his chest. Before he could react, he saw Leng Hanxuan walking over to him with a glass of water in his hand, smiling as he said, "Hey, Tao. "You're back?"

"You!"

Jiang Tao gritted his teeth while Leng Hanxuan ignored him. He said as if nothing had happened, "Luckily, there's an automatic water dispenser nearby."

The nameless anger in Jiang Tao's heart was mysteriously extinguished just like that. He could only silently receive the water while bitterly laughing in his heart. He raised his head and looked around before asking, "What about that woman?"

Leng Hanxuan was stunned. She lowered her head and thought for a while before she smiled and said, "She might be calling her family. After all, she won't be able to return tonight. If you haven't gone back for the entire night, you have to inform your family so that your family won't worry about you. "

"Right." Jiang Tao accepted this reason and found a place to sit down. He held his teacup in both hands and immersed himself in thought. He didn't speak anymore and silently thought about the recent events.

Zhu Zhushan was really on the phone right now. More accurately, Zhu Zhu Zhu received a phone call before he had the time to go to the bathroom. After entering the washroom, Zhu Zhirong lifted her hand and touched the flashing red light on her watch. A screen appeared and floated in front of her. On the screen was a child who could not tell if he was a man or a woman. He was wearing a white dress and facing the moonlight, which shined even brighter than the moon.

"Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been settled."

Zhu Zhirong looked at the boy in front of her, her face full of respect.

After the child heard Zhu Zhirong's voice, he happily laughed and gently asked, "Are you sure everything is alright? "Santa."

If Han Bin Hao was here, he would be surprised to find out that the person who was talking to Zhu Zhugong was the same person he had talked to just now! The one who spoke was none other than Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan's director, Zhu Zhilong.

"Everything is done, Your Highness." Zhu Zhushan looked at the person on the screen respectfully and said, "Right now, we are located in the abandoned area south of the Central City. This subordinate will act according to your wishes and will do everything according to your wishes. I haven't made a mistake."

"Their intelligence was given to you by the Tauren. Before we know exactly what the Tauren want to do, you must not let anything happen to them." The child paused for a few seconds, changed his expression, and said with a smile, "How are they recently? It's been a long time since we've last met. "

Seeing the child's smile, Zhu Zhilan was in a bit of a trance. After the child's voice fell for a long time, she acted as if she didn't hear anything, and didn't react at all. The person on the other end of the line was still smiling without the slightest bit of anxiety.

After a long while, Zhu Zhilan finally raised her head and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Facing the child, she respectfully said: "They are doing well, so this subordinate will continue to carry out his duties."

"Haha, it seems that the two of you have gotten along quite well. Bring me a greeting then." The child clapped happily, paused for a moment, and continued, "Truman was elected by the Pope and the king. He was chosen as the mayor of the city, and his attention was focused on the rebels in the 15th district. Just keep an eye on them for a few days and get the answer from Joyce that he promised two years ago. "

"Yes sir!" Zhu Zhushan bowed towards the screen, and before the phone hung up, she continued to ask, "Is this all your arrangements?"

"Eh?"

"If my deduction is correct, Sir Truman has been assigned to focus on the 15th district's rebel army and the movements of the heretics. Is that you?"

"Knowing something doesn't necessarily mean you have to say it." The child did not directly answer Zhu Zhirong, but let her know the answer to her question.

Zhu Zhu Cai could sense the hidden anger in the child's smile, and immediately withdrew her emotions. She performed a standard military salute and said: "Yes! "Your majesty."

Even rats find it hard to find things in dirty alleys. At the end of the alley, in a dark corner where no light could penetrate, the two were conversing.

"Did you get the goods?"

"Yeah, that person said to send it over now."

"Be careful, that guy won't be so easy to deal with."

"I know, we variant players aren't easy to bully either."

"Hmm, ever since the establishment of the two churches, the status of the mutated humans has been declining, and now it's time to pay our debts."

"Yes."

The noisy night, the bright night, two shadows quickly disappeared into the crowd. And in that dirty alley, there were no longer any traces of humans.
