Chapter 181 Crisis
A bullet-like heavy motorcycle drives to the shadow capital at a constant speed of 300 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it will take Rein at most an hour to stand in the city surrounded by mountains.
The scorching smoke from the reloaded locomotive has a strong smell after gasoline combustion. In fact, there is no faster means of transportation than this kind of locomotive in the dark parliament. The anti-magnetic suspension car driven by Lanqi is one of them. That type of locomotive is not only fast, but also quiet and energy-saving. It is definitely a more comfortable mobility tool than a locomotive.
Klein likes the smell of heavy metal and gasoline, which makes him look different in the dark parliament in pursuit of efficiency. But he doesn't care what others think. He has always been Rein's style. Just like this mission, no one cares about the high-ranking warriors of the Blood Knight, but Rein took it down.
This is a direct order issued by the parliament, but the content of the order is very simple.
No matter how you look at it, killing a fifth-level wilderness mercenary is not difficult. After all, this mercenary's highest ability is the fifth-level agile enhancement. In the eyes of high-level blood riders, this ability is useless to escape. The reason why the parliament fought against this inconspicuous role was that the servant killed a low-level blood horse.
Lean remembers that the guy who was killed was from the Parkland family. Although Parkland is also a large consortium, he is strictly a member of the Dark Parliament. If it's just this relationship, the dark parliament will not use a high-level blood horse. But the young man named Sauron was a member of the blood horse and was killed by a wilderness mercenary who came out of nowhere. The incident itself was like a slap in the face of the dark council.
When each blood horse is in office, a pocket chip will be implanted. The chip connects to the intelligent brain terminal of the dark parliament and can feedback the life wave energy of the implanter to facilitate location and search and rescue when the blood horse is in trouble. Just a few days ago, the blood horse named Sauron suddenly disappeared, which surprised Sauron's boss. Through investigation, the Blood Horse headquarters quickly determined that Sauron was killed while dealing with a family's personal grudges.
When this information was fed back to the upper class according to the regular procedures, the senior council issued an order to send a high-level blood horse to kill the mercenary.
If the mercenary is not killed with absolute advantage, where will the face of the dark parliament be? Behind the high-level blood horse, there is a deeper meaning, that is, to show unquestionable force to consolidate the position of the dark parliament in the coastline area.
Lein is well aware of this and knows that it is just a boring demonstration. However, the action on a low-level capable person could not attract the interest of high-level warriors inside the blood horse. However, Rein, who had just returned to his headquarters after the mission, learned of the order and did not hesitate to take it and go to the Capital of Shadows as soon as possible.
This makes many people very disdainful and even despised what Rein did behind his back. But only a few people know that the reason why Rein is willing to take on such a boring task is that he just doesn't want to stay in the Eternal Night City.
The Ninth Knight Rein has never been a conventional person. If he wants to stay in the classless eternal night city, he would rather go to the front line of war. Therefore, this task is tantamount to an alternative vacation for Rein.
"Thank you so much..." After galloping on the broken road and the high-speed locomotive hit an elderly corpse that came out of nowhere, Rein showed a row of white teeth: "There are not many vacation opportunities like this. If possible, I hope you have left the shadow capital. ...Zero!"
In this way, my vacation can be extended a little. This is Rein's subtext.
The capital of shadows.
In the hotel room, Zero rushed out of the bathroom, and he changed into the ragged clothes like a refugee at a very fast speed. Even Zero didn't have time to buy a new tactical suit. He bumped into the room of Monica and others and said to Monica and Athesha, who were looking at the teenager Gilutan frowning and stuffing a piece of black bread into his mouth, "We must leave immediately!"
Moni was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Zero shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but I have a very bad feeling!"
Without unnecessary nonsense, Moni pulled up Giroutan. She also followed Zero for a long time, knowing that Zero's perception of danger is as keen as a beast. Now that he feels dangerous, the hotel must not stay any longer. They didn't have any luggage. Artessa picked up the saw in the corner and rushed down the stairs of the hotel.
When he came to the lobby, Zero made a gesture. The four stood up and said softly, "What's wrong? Why is there no one?"
Monnie and the three looked around for a week. As Zero said, the lobby was too quiet. Even the waiter at the counter disappeared, as if all the people in the hotel had mysteriously disappeared. Not only that, the streets outside the hotel are also empty. Although it is afternoon, there are relatively few pedestrians on the street, but there is not even a shadow. Ling Mao came to a window close to the corner of the wall. The window closed, pushed open a gap with zero fingers, and then raised his head slightly.
The strong sense of acupuncture spread all over his body in an instant, and he couldn't think about it carefully and immediately fell to the ground. Almost at the same time, the window frame was blown open at the position where Zero just poked out his head. The metal bracket was twisted and deformed, with a bullet embedded in it, followed by the sound of sniper equipment from outside the hotel.
Sniper!
Zero cursed, not to mention that the hotel has been closely controlled by a certain force. The enemy sniper who attacks himself must occupy the commanding heights nearby. Once the people on the side are exposed to the eyes of these killers, they will immediately attract a fatal attack.
It's just that which force do these people belong to? Is it Parkland?
This idea flashed through Zero's mind, which is the most normal revenge. Zero killed Sauron in the ruins, but Sauron's soldiers were not completely destroyed. They will soon find Sauron's body and send the news back to Parkland. But when Zero used his rich sniper experience to find the position of the opponent's sniper, he approached the enemy's image with free vision, but saw a soldier in a black uniform.
A zero-familiar sign appeared in the middle of the tactical helmet on the soldier's head. The pattern of sword and shield, zero, has been seen on Sauron's body, which is the coat of arms of the dark parliament. In other words, the people surrounding the hotel now are actually the dark parliament. And they were able to make such a deployment immediately on the day they reached the shadow capital. Judging that the dark parliament obviously put some troops in the shadow capital.
Zero is very regretful. If he knew in advance that there was an army of the dark parliament in the shadows, he would not have entered the city rashly. Zero knew very well that there was enough reason for the dark council to retaliate against him by killing a bloody horse. It's just that he didn't expect the other party's revenge to come so quickly.
