Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 325: Trap
The armored vehicle left the Port warehouse and headed towards Elephant House Tavern because Sun Rao and Chen Chuan had just received news that the wealthy siblings had not only emerged again but were heading there this time.
This was not a good place, especially at this time.
Luminous Dew District was the area in Jibeidiao Central City with the most immigrants. Currently, the largest gang was the Swordfish Gang, with more than half of its members coming from various island nations in the Outer Ocean, backed by the Ferris Wheel Corporation. However, this had only emerged in recent years.
Previously, the largest gang entrenched in Luminous Dew District was the Elephant Gang. Most of its members were laborers from the Cherny Peninsula during the Great Reclamation era. After the rise of the Swordfish Gang, the two gangs clashed repeatedly, and the Elephant Gang was gradually compressed to the edge of the district.
However, many forces did not want the Ferris Wheel Corporation to dominate Luminous Dew District, so they provided the Elephant Gang with some financial and weapon support. As of now, although the Elephant Gang could not expand, it could still firmly defend its territory.
Especially since the Elephant Gang had several Martial Combat experts, the Swordfish Gang, after taking over most of the territory, did not want to provoke them, so they maintained this situation.
However, the conflicts between the two gangs did not stop. Every now and then, there would be one. Elephant House Tavern was the Elephant Gang's territory, a place that refused entry to anyone from the Outer Ocean. Nowadays, a group of conservatives had begun to antagonize all non-natives.
"The siblings' father has business dealings with the Ferris Wheel Corporation. They're fine in the Swordfish Gang's territory, but they went to the Elephant Gang's territory, are they brain-dead? Did they really think the Elephant Gang couldn't find out? And they just had to pick a time when the two families were about to fight. They're just morons!"
Sun Rao was swearing. "Junior, you know, I really want these two death-seekers to die quickly, but when I think about the Bureau having to clean up the mess if something happens, it makes me sick."
Chen Chuan did not speak. These siblings were not brain-dead. They probably just wanted to see the people from the Processing Bureau clash with the gang members to find fun and excitement from it.
He understood Sun Rao's displeasure, but in reality, no matter where it was, the people responsible for doing the work had to face these annoying things every day, unless they could get promoted, then they could let their subordinates face these things.
For a Martial Artist, the easiest way was to become a Tier 3 Martial Artist. The higher-ups would not let them do this kind of thing. Even if the Bureau really arranged it, the Martial Artist could turn around and find another job.
As long as you had Strength, you could be comfortable anywhere, otherwise, it would be the same everywhere.
Fifteen minutes later, they could see the tall tower-style tavern in the distance. The top was towering, and the whole building was golden-white. The building was exceptionally tall and wide, and the shadows cast were dazzling.
However, as they approached, they also heard intense gunfire in front of them, and the sound was getting louder and louder. It looked like at least hundreds of people were involved in the fierce battle.
Don't count on the City Patrol team at this time. With such intense firepower, they would not approach at all. They were always the ones getting scolded, and they were also the ones who went up when something happened. Wasn't that just getting scolded for nothing?
The Resonator informed Sun Rao at this time, saying that it detected an energy field shield around the tavern, and it was not clear what the situation was. The Bureau sent a message saying that the siblings were definitely inside and asked them to find a way.
"Damn it!"
Sun Rao cursed, "Let them die!
We can't get technical support now, and we can't find anyone. With our Strength, we can't stop the gang fight. I won't let me and my team members risk going in."
He turned to Chen Chuan and said, "Since I'm the team leader this time, I'll take responsibility."
Chen Chuan looked at him at this time, wanting to say something.
Sun Rao waved his hand, "No need to say anything. I said, I'll take responsibility. Today is your first time on duty, and you don't understand anything about the situation. There's no reason to let you take responsibility too."
Chen Chuan said, "Senior..."
"Don't say anything. We're not in school. There's no need to talk about loyalty. We're doing things according to the rules. I made this decision, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Chen Chuan continued to try to speak, but Sun Rao interrupted him again as soon as he spoke, "I know what you want to say. Our armored vehicle can rush in, but it's hard to say that there are no experts in the gang, or even heavy weapons. It's too dangerous to go in. Staying outside is the right thing to do!"
Chen Chuan waited for a while and said, "That's not what I wanted to say."
"...What did you want to say?"
Chen Chuan said, "I wanted to say, the Swordfish Gang and the Elephant Gang are in conflict, and so many people have been dispatched. Is the Tong Daguang we're supposed to be watching inside? If he's not, is he in the stronghold? Then there shouldn't be many people around him, right? Then is it possible that he's being targeted?"
Sun Rao was stunned. His expression changed. He said, "You're right to remind me." He paused again, "We need to find out where he is first."
He immediately notified his Resonator to immediately check the location of Tong Daguang, but it seemed to encounter some interference. It felt very slow, and there was no echo for a long time.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the news came that this person was not in the stronghold. He had left in a hurry half an hour ago but seemed to have stopped near Rope Street.
Sun Rao felt that there was a problem and immediately asked the driver to rush there at the fastest speed.
When the armored vehicle arrived at this block at lightning speed, they saw that this street had been completely blocked off by City Patrol vehicles.
However, when they saw the Processing Bureau's vehicle coming, they made way again. After the vehicle drove in, they found various twisted corpses lying on the ground, as well as limbs torn apart. Human tissue and Implants were scattered everywhere, and fragmented parts hanging on the branches were dripping tissue fluid and blood. The scene was very tragic.
There were many people surrounding the central area. Although these people were wearing casual clothes, it was obvious that they were from the Processing Bureau. Sun Rao realized something, parked the car, got out of the car, and shouted at one of them, "Captain Li!"
Chen Chuan also recognized this person. This was Captain Li, who had cooperated with him last time. He glanced at the surrounding situation and pondered.
Captain Li looked back, walked towards them, and said in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't they say not to tell you?"
When he said this, he saw the expression on Sun Rao's face and suddenly realized something. He patted his forehead with his palm, "I let it slip. Forget it, now that things have reached this point, there's no need to hide it from you."
Sun Rao looked at him, "So... the Bureau had a plan long ago?"
Captain Sun looked around and said to him and Chen Chuan, "Let's talk over here."
He led the two to the side and said, "Yes, the Bureau had a plan. It transferred the Bureau's personnel to other areas, only letting you come to work, just to set up a seemingly empty trap.
The Bureau didn't tell you in advance because it was afraid that you were young and couldn't fool Wei Wusheng's spies. I hope you don't mind."
Sun Rao said, "Captain Li, we've always been on duty in the car. In fact, if you told us, we could have cooperated."
Captain Li pondered for a while, as if considering something, then looked at him and said, "We had previously discovered that the Resonator who was cooperating with you had been watched all the time, but he himself was unaware.
He has cooperated with the Bureau many times and can obtain certain permissions and news. If someone attacks him, it will be convenient to obtain our internal news.
In fact, not only you, but the Resonators who cooperate with many Bureau members have more or less problems. This time, the Bureau simply used this loophole to arrange several missions, but now it seems that your place is indeed a loophole."
Sun Rao's expression was not very good.
Captain Li waved his hand and said, "Alas, it has nothing to do with you. The Resonator you used was allowed by the Bureau, and this time you caught Wei Wusheng. Not only is there no fault, but there is merit. If it weren't for you, how could we have found him so easily?"
"Wei Wusheng!" Sun Rao reacted, "Captain Li, was the person caught?"
"Alas!" Captain Li sighed, "Wei Wusheng's Strength was unexpected. This operation involved two Tier 3 Martial Artists participating in the siege, and other specialized personnel were responsible for coordinating next to them, but even so, Wei Wusheng managed to break out."
Sun Rao could not help but be disappointed. "Why didn't the Bureau find more people?"
Captain Li said helplessly, "The Bureau wanted to, but everyone knows who the Bureau's people are. Most of them were transferred elsewhere in the arrangement, just to make Wei Wusheng believe that our people were really not here.
The two Tier 3 Martial Artists who participated in the siege were still recruited by the Bureau from various places. Involving Tier 3 experts is not just a matter of a word. There are many troublesome procedures. From decision to execution, it's not bad to have two in such a short time."
Chen Chuan asked at this time, "Captain Li, was Wei Wusheng injured?"
Captain Li said uncertainly, "The two experts we invited were injured. Wei Wusheng should not be unscathed. We will step up our search..."
In the middle of speaking, a signal suddenly came from the Boundary Token. His expression changed slightly, and then he said to the two of them in a deep voice, "Zhe Rong is dead. I'm going to check it out. You..." He glanced at Chen Chuan, as if he thought of something, "Forget it, come with me."
After speaking, he hurriedly went back to greet the team members.
After Chen Chuan returned to the car, he learned from scattered news that Wei Wusheng had first attacked Tong Daguang, who was rushing to Elephant House halfway. All twenty-seven people were killed by him in one breath, but he also fell into the encirclement of the Processing Bureau people who rushed over.
It was just because Wei Wusheng's Strength was far beyond the past that he could not be taken down. After Wei Wusheng broke away from the encirclement, he did not directly escape or choose to leave Luminous Dew District. Instead, he turned around and killed Zhe Rong, who was still conducting martial arts exchanges.
I have to say that this move was crazy and bold.
But if you think about it carefully, it is a very reasonable choice, because since Wei Wusheng can escape from the Processing Bureau's siege, then he naturally knows that the Processing Bureau's manpower is only the group of people who besieged him, and there is no one outside, so it is good to kill Zhe Rong.
Looking at Wei Wusheng's actions, this siege should not have severely damaged him, so he has Remaining energy to do so.
But there is still a question to consider. He is also on Wei Wusheng's list. Will this person do one thing and not stop, turn around and come to him?
