404 Hunter - Chapter18

Zhao Tao saw that the middle-aged man didn't move, but he wasn't in a hurry. He continued, "Stop pretending.

You've been to the battlefield before.

I've been investigating you for a few days, and I've memorized your information.

Even if you've been a mercenary, not everyone has this kind of anti-reconnaissance ability.

I'm afraid that during that period, the training you received wasn't as simple as fighting. Being in special operations, you should be resistant to strong anesthetics. Even if you didn't receive any anti-drug training, your body should have been injected with some kind of drug. This drug can only be synthesized by the biotechnology of the Chūshū Empire and the United States of America, and as far as I know … the effects of these two drugs are permanent. "

Since the man had lost consciousness, Zhao Tao relaxed a little and let his guard down. He sat on the sofa again. Now he only needed to aim the gun at his target.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you.

Little brother, you have a unique eye! "

The middle-aged man sat up from his half-lying position on the sofa and slowly opened his eyes. "But … you know a lot, and I know a lot too.

The anesthetics in the wine can't be detected by ordinary people, but it can't fool my tongue.

It's produced in the Chūshū Empire, produced by the Imperial Army's General Staff Intelligence Research Institute. The formula is confidential, but it's exported to the outside world. If I'm so good at making money, I wouldn't have killed so many people. "

Zhao Tao didn't speak and held the gun with one hand. Although the anesthetics didn't work on this man, humans were made of flesh. He had one head and two eyes. If a 5.56 mm synthetic steel core bullet hit him, he would still die. He wasn't afraid.

The middle-aged man in front of him was also afraid that Zhao Tao had a gun. He was afraid that Zhao Tao would be able to drill a hole in his head within a few tenths of a second, so he did not dare to act rashly.

"Don't follow him?

Play?

Ping?

If you fail, just do it. Don't think about the commission and let the logistics clean up your mess. Just give some to the logistics, and let the people from the 404 Office handle the rest. I'll inform them, and they'll definitely arrive at the scene faster than the police and fire department. "

Sim Su-lien didn't expect this middle-aged man to be so stubborn. She was a little anxious. Other than worrying about the mission failing, she was more worried about Zhao Tao.

"The people who want to kill me are really going all out.

Who the hell sent you?

I'm not going to talk about money with you. Join me and work for me. I promise you'll have a good life. To be honest, brother, we're all in the business of putting our lives on the line. Doesn't it matter who we work for?

I'm on standby now. Once I have something to do, the money will come faster than killing and arson … "The middle-aged man didn't avoid it. It seemed that he really wanted to recruit Zhao Tao. He was very optimistic about Zhao Tao and the organization behind him. He had the ability to crack the iris recognition and fingerprint recognition locks, got the military-grade anesthetics, and had an imitation 92 pistol in his hand. It wasn't a standard weapon, so his background was definitely not small. He was definitely not from the police or the army — they were using the issued weapons.

Zhao Tao refused to use the standard weapon because he didn't want to expose his identity. This was the privilege of the 404 Office field personnel. Sim Su-lien didn't have this privilege.

Zhao Tao followed Sim Su-lien's instructions and didn't answer the target's question. His right index finger pulled the trigger decisively, and a loud sound echoed in the room.

The middle-aged man frowned. Why did this young man shoot without saying anything? Did he give up the means of assassination?

He only felt dizzy, and his chest was burning. He looked down and saw a bloody hole where his heart was, and blood was gushing out. He had been injured on the battlefield, so he could endure the pain. Even if his heart was shot, he could still hold on for a while. He wanted to fight back subconsciously. He would die if he ran, so it was better to rush over and die with him!

However, Zhao Tao didn't give him the chance to do so. Before the middle-aged man could decide what to do, the second bullet shot out from the barrel. The smell of gunpowder filled the entire area around the sofa. The synthetic steel core bullet penetrated the target's brain. There was a small black hole in the front of his forehead, and the back of his head had a bowl-sized wound. This stopped him from thinking.

Zhao Tao pointed the muzzle at the other unconscious person. He walked up and touched the target's carotid artery. It had completely stopped beating. Then, he pulled the trigger again without looking. The target's companion was still in a deep state of anesthesia. Two bullets drilled into his head, and he fell from the sofa to the ground. Bone fragments mixed with brain juice and blood splattered all over the floor. There was no need to confirm whether this person was still alive or not. His head was almost smashed into pieces.

"The target is dead. Please evacuate the scene immediately. The gunshot might alert the surrounding residents." The artificial intelligence in the headset determined the mission result.

Zhao Tao moved his left hand, and all the AI robots returned to his backpack. The hole in the hydrogen pipe in the kitchen started to leak out.

He searched the two bodies for a while and found a cigarette. He pulled one out and lit it up, but he didn't put it in his mouth. Instead, he placed it vertically on the coffee table.

"Based on the current speed, there are still three and a half minutes before the hydrogen concentration reaches the explosive level.

You need to hurry up. "Sim Su-lien looked at the string of data on the screen and said.

"I'm leaving now."

In reality, after the mission ended, there was no need for Zhao Tao to detonate the scene. Originally, he wanted to blow up the two people. Even if it was anesthesia, it wouldn't leave any traces. The blood and tissues had all been burned away. Other than DNA, the autopsy wouldn't be able to detect any drug components.

However, Zhao Tao was very careful. He had left too much personal information in this room. Footprints, fingerprints, and perhaps even sweat drops on the floor.

After the explosion and burning, the firefighters still had to rush in to extinguish the fire. After these three extreme steps, all traces left by Zhao Tao would be erased.

Although Sim Su-lien promised that the people from the 404 Office would clean up after him, he still tried to avoid having his information recorded by the police.

Zhao Tao didn't want what happened in Imperial City to happen again in Binhai City. After all, this was his hometown.

Going home clean was the way to go.

Zhao Tao carried his backpack neatly, closed the door, and quickly went downstairs through the elevator. When he was about to walk out of the community, he glanced at the countdown on his retina projected by his contact lens. It had been more than two seconds.

"Kid, don't tell me you didn't light up your cigarette?" Sim Su-lien's voice was a little nervous.

Zhao Tao smiled, covered his ears with both hands, and said to Sim Su-lien, "I recommend you take off your headphones."

At the same time, there was a loud noise from the room in the community. The explosion-proof windows of the high-rise house were instantly shattered by the violent explosion. The glass fell to the ground, and a raging fire gushed out of the window of the room. The automatic fire system and alarm system had been turned off long ago, and the sprinkler did not have any effect.

The hydrogen supply valve of the community was not destroyed by Sim Su-lien. She was afraid of causing a bigger accident, so the electronic system of the supply valve monitored that the hydrogen flow was too high. It immediately shut down automatically and reported the error to the gas company.

People outside the community and on both sides of the road looked at the place of the explosion. They used their own communication devices to record the scene. Some people also provided holographic live broadcasts, and the situation was immediately posted on social media.

Under the media control of the 404 Office, this incident was at most another gas explosion accident. No one would dig into it anyway.

Sim Su-lien, who provided technical support, heard the loud noise through Zhao Tao's microphone. The shock wave also caused the microphone to pick up some noise. She immediately threw off the headphones, covered her ears, and cursed at the microphone, "How many times have you destroyed my ears? How many times?"

"I told you!" Zhao Tao did not look back as he strolled out of the community. The surveillance records had been erased.

Sim Su-lien paused for a few seconds before putting the headphones back on. "The logistics are on the way."

"But … I have a feeling that this mission is not finished yet.

You heard what he said. There seems to be some criminal organization behind him, and it sounds like it's very powerful. "Zhao Tao was puzzled. The middle-aged man had been on standby. What kind of life was he on standby?

What was the organization behind him?

According to his description, it seemed to be very powerful and did not lack money. Could it be a foreign intelligence organization or a criminal organization?

To be able to support such a team and suppress such a person, it was either the United States of America, the Sulo Alliance, or the Europa Community.

The Republic of Avericka did not have the funds and technology, not to mention the other small countries and regions.

"Your mission is completed. Don't think too much.

I will hand this recording to the headquarters of the 404 Office, and the General Staff Department will conduct an in-depth investigation. "Sim Su-lien sighed. Zhao Tao still liked to get to the bottom of things.
