The crowd responded in unison: "...6."
The micro-robots continued crawling, spotting a few hovercars for managent personnel but no trace of gold.
Su Mo reminded, "There's a layer beneath the special garage, enter from the northeast corner door."
The micro-robots repeated their trick, burning a small hole in the door and crawling towards the underground compartnt.
Gradually, voices beca audible, clearer and clearer, several people were talking below.
"Move quickly, pack them in batches, morize the sewer route tonight, aim to get everything out clean tomorrow."
"Goodbye to you, precious treasures, tomorrow I won't see you anymore, let give you a kiss... uh, better not leave any traces."
"Stop fooling around, hurry up."
The micro-robots crawled into the secret chamber from where the voices ca, revealing a shocking scene to everyone present.
In the center of the secret chamber was a long table covered with dazzling gold bars, stacked layer upon layer, flashing so brightly it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Several core mbers of the Tiger Fang rcenary Corps were repackaging the gold bars, preparing for secret disposal.
Su Mo clenched his fists, eyes burning with intense fire: "Ou Chenyu, your ti is up!"
...
New Moon City Administrative Center District, City Hall.
Sikinkov left the report eting as night fell.
He didn't even rember the last ti he ca ho before dark.
As expected, he was criticized in the eting again.
All because of that gold heist case.
The Public Security Bureau investigated for days but still found no clue about the gold.
If the gold were secretly sold off by the culprits and never recovered, his political enemies would have a reason to attack him.
Thinking about it made Sikinkov feel a headache.
The phone rang at that mont.
Seeing the na on the screen, his mood improved slightly.
This had beco so kind of conditioned response.
Because this person always brought good news whenever they called.
Sikinkov answered cheerfully, "Hey, brother, what's up?"
Su Mo: "Check your email, look at the video I sent, quick, quick, quick!"
"What's so urgent?" Sikinkov muttered while logging into his phone email, opening the video Su Mo sent.
At first, nothing special, just so scouting robots crawling and filming rcenaries.
Then, the robots drilled underground in a garage, suddenly a dazzling golden glow appeared on the screen.
When the table full of gold ca into view, Sikinkov's gaze beca gradually dull, eyes fixed.
He practically scread into the phone, "Hey, brother! Where did you film this? When did it happen?!"
Su Mo: "Two minutes ago, at the Rust Wall District Tiger Base. I was routinely scouting for competitive intelligence, and unexpectedly stumbled upon a major case."
Sikinkov was trembling with excitent, "Is this real? Not post-produced?"
Su Mo playfully replied, "Everyone knows videos can't be edited, so this is real. I wouldn't joke about this, would I?"
Sikinkov bead with joy, almost jumping up, "Brother, I'm not soone who's on your contact list, but I really want to give you a big kiss!"
Su Mo: "Uh, no need for that... Just want to ask you for a favor."
Sikinkov: "Say it! Whatever you need!"
Su Mo: "My brother is captured, now trapped at the Tiger Base. Ou Chenyu isn't soone easy to deal with."
"Therefore, I hope to command the Public Security Bureau's operation against Tiger Teeth this ti, all deploynts should follow my arrangents."
Sikinkov's first reaction was a direct refusal.
What a joke?
Surveying the developnt history of New Moon City, and even the establishnt history of the entire World Governnt, there's never been a precedent where rcenaries led governnt troops.
If mishandled, the decision-maker would end up in jail.
But quietly, Sikinkov thought about Su Mo's help again and again.
Half of his current status was owed to this brother.
Monts later, he decided, "Brother, letting you command isn't possible, it breaks rules."
"However, we can be flexible. Officially, I'm the commander, but I'll execute your deploynt plans and relay orders."
Su Mo smiled gratefully: "Thank you, go make arrangents first; gather the manpower and contact ."
Call ended.
Sikinkov dialed the Public Security Bureau ergency command center chief's line, saying, "This is Sikinkov, cancel all sheriff leaves and have them return to posts ASAP."
"I want every armored vehicle, every automated Titan cha, every floating airship in this city on standby!"
...
That night, responding to Su Mo's request, Sikinkov dispatched the Alpha Squad from the Anti-Violence Fourth Section to the Edge Mansion.
Su Mo looked at Ivan and the Alpha Squad mbers in front of him, full of excitent and joy.
The Alpha Squad of the Anti-Violence Fourth Section was New Moon City's Public Security Bureau's most elite forces, without exception.
In the ga "Dawn," if players publicly commit cris in New Moon City, they trigger security bureau alerts.
One-star wanted level results in beatings and fines from sheriffs.
Two-star wanted level leads to firearm attacks.
Three-star wanted listings in ACDS anti-cri ergency handling system for elimination.
Four-star wanted level faces siege from automated Titan cha high-tech chanical units.
Five-star wanted attracts the fad Anti-Violence Fourth Section.
If players reach "Six-Star Wanted," they face the city's strongest security forces, the Anti-Violence Fourth Section's Alpha Squad.
Alpha Squad mbers have either completed full "Military Grade 1" body replacents or are "Critical High Tier" Blood Code Carriers, able to control "Duke Tier Mad Tier" chanical Ferocious Beasts with Spiritual Brain.
There are 24 such experts.
Alpha Squad's captain Ivan, with all "Fearless Level" body implants, is the undisputed top expert of the Public Security Bureau.
And this is only a fraction of elite forces.
In this vast New Moon City, thousands of sheriffs were on high alert, poised to strike against Ou Chenyu and Tiger Teeth rcenaries.
Su Mo switched the communicator to a special frequency, asking Sikinkov, "What's the situation at the Tiger Base?"
Sikinkov replied, "A Black Raven stealth drone is conducting missions over the Tiger Base, mapping the entire layout and locating personnel."
"However… We haven't located Tiger Corps leader Ou Chenyu, he's not at the base now."
For Su Mo, destroying the target wasn't Tiger Fang rcenaries but Ou Chenyu, the "original protagonist."
Tiger Fang rcenaries weren't unique; the uniqueness lay in their leader.
Without Ou Chenyu's demise, destroying Tiger Fang carried no significance.
Su Mo: "The biggest fish isn't here. Continue the intel search for Ou Chenyu's whereabouts and tell imdiately."
Sikinkov: "No problem."
Communication ended.
Ivan tily suggested, "Should we raise the citywide alert level or issue a wanted order?"
Su Mo imdiately shook his head, "No, that might alert him. So many recon drones over New Moon City, they're bound to find Ou Chenyu."
"Not locating him now actually gives ti; I'm right about to find soone."
Ivan: "Who?"
Su Mo revealed a mysterious smile, "An old friend."
He picked up his phone, found the number he saved in the contact list when he first arrived in New Moon City.
A text was sent:
[Nuobai, got ti to et?]
More than ten seconds later, a reply was received.
The response was concise:
[Okay]
