Chapter 379 They’re here!
Is he going to run away?
Su Xia realized this instantly.
However, he soon noticed that the entire airport seemed to be at a standstill, with no flights taking off.
A large number of passengers were stranded in the airport, which was noisy and chaotic.
"Why won't you let us go?"
"The flight is at 6am, and you're not allowed to leave now. You need an explanation, right?"
"I missed all the meetings. Who will compensate me for my losses? What about the person in charge of the airport?"
“…”
Some people were waving their plane tickets high, others were shouting and cursing, there were also complaints, coughs, children crying, etc. It was chaotic and crowded.
Most of these people are going to another continent.
It only takes more than ten hours to get there by taking a transoceanic flight.
But if flights are closed, the only way out is by water, and it will take more than 20 days or even 30 to 40 days to reach another continent across the vast ocean.
At the airport, some service staff were explaining.
On the screen in the hall, there is also an explanatory video recorded by the person in charge, which is playing in a loop.
"I'm really sorry, due to the mechanical tribe's regulations, it is now a no-fly period, and all flights are temporarily suspended. If there is any new news, we will notify you separately."
"We apologize to you."
“…”
On the screen, a row of responsible persons bowed together, as if bowing could solve everything.
Unfortunately, the spirit of craftsmanship cannot move people in this world.
People were cursing, getting emotional, spitting, and almost turning the airport over.
They have all experienced war and are not ordinary civilians living in peacetime. They have more tempers than each other and will not listen to any explanations.
"Mechanical tribe? Another mechanical tribe!"
"You lackeys, do you only listen to the mechanical people?"
The insults were extremely harsh, with some people even directly insulting the mechanical race.
Anyway, there are no mechanical creatures here, so it doesn’t matter if I curse a few times.
After the war between the two races ended, most of the human proxy governments supported by the mechanical race were not up to standard, corruption was rampant, and many city governments were even more outrageous than that of Coral City.
If you really count it, a waste like Qi Lang is considered an upper-middle-level talent among a large number of human city lords.
Therefore, many civilians are angry.
This is not something that happened overnight, but rather the result of long-accumulated anger. However, due to the strength of the mechanical race and the lack of opportunities, few people vent their anger on a daily basis.
Su Xia approached the airport, flew into the terminal, hovered above the crowd, and searched carefully.
The small red dot representing the mission target "Andrew" kept flashing in this huge terminal.
Soon, Su Xia locked onto a figure.
[Mission target "Andrew" has been found]
[Please note that there are many people here, and your identity may be exposed if you act rashly]
In the crowd, a slightly bald, fat middle-aged man came into Su Xia's sight.
That was Andrew, wearing a pair of round glasses, with slightly curly blond hair, a typical Western appearance, dressed in casual clothes, and carrying a suitcase in his hand.
He seemed a little anxious, glancing at the time, looking around, and fidgeting.
It was obvious that he wanted to leave this continent as soon as possible.
However, the flight was stopped by the Mechanic Clan and no one could leave.
Moreover, all the docks on the seaside have been stopped at this moment. Now there are only ships coming in, but no ships going out.
The entire Conch City has temporarily become a controlled area where people can only enter but not leave.
Not to mention them, even the players can't get out!
"Damn it, I don't want to lose my life here!" Andrew cursed inwardly, raised his hand to look at his watch, couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up with his suitcase.
If you put yourself in his shoes, anyone in his current position would not be able to remain calm.
After all, the three bases he was in charge of were gone overnight.
Moreover, the base where the incident occurred was in Kaiba City, not far from here, and at the same time, news of the masked stranger spread...
All kinds of news came in, each worse than the last, but the Mechanical Clan blocked the most important news, so other news could only be speculated and guessed.
The group headquarters also told him that some members of the Kaiba City base were arrested by the mechanical race and would soon be tried by the joint court.
This is the worst!
"Logically speaking, the mechanical race wouldn't care about this kind of thing at all." Andrew was anxious. This was the root source of his uneasiness.
Will the mechanical tribe come directly to arrest him?
He didn't dare to think that once he fell into the hands of the Joint Court, his hope of escaping alive would be close to zero.
"Damn mechanical people, why are they sealing off the city now? Did the masked monster really escape?" Andrew walked back and forth in the terminal, muttering to himself.
"They asked me to wait for news. Who can wait in this situation?"
He really couldn't stay here any longer. Even if he couldn't leave Conch City, he had to find a safe place to hide until this storm was over.
As for the rest...
Assets, career, connections, etc., everything he has accumulated in this city is not as important as his own life!
Only by living can you regain everything, everything is gone when you die!
“Buzz——”
His cell phone suddenly vibrated and there was a new message.
Andrew opened it and saw that it was sent from the group headquarters:
[Stay at the base and wait for new instructions. Do not leave without permission! ]
The tone of this news is very tough and there is no room for negotiation.
Su Xia was floating above Andrew, looking very carefully, taking in the message and Andrew's expression.
“It seems different from what I thought.”
Before Su Xia came, he had anticipated many situations, but none of them were right.
Apart from anything else, the relationship between this Andrew and the Left Eye Group was completely different from what he had imagined.
Below, Andrew, who was holding the phone, had a changing expression. He held the phone tightly, as if he was struggling with something.
"You can't leave?" His eyes were full of bloodshot. "If you don't leave, will you wait to die here?"
With a click, the screen of his mobile phone was cracked and the picture became colorful stripes.
It is conceivable how uneasy he is right now.
"I don't want to live this kind of life anymore. I'll take advantage of this chaos to change my appearance and get a new identity!" Andrew gritted his teeth and walked quickly to the waiting area outside.
"rent!"
He stood on the side of the road and quickly got into an old taxi.
Su Xia followed closely behind him, following him all the way out of the airport area.
It has to be said that Andrew's choice surprised Su Xia.
He originally thought that Andrew's interests were deeply tied to the Left Eye Group, and that he would be fully prepared to fight him to the end.
But now it seems that this fat guy actually wants to leave the Left Eye Group.
Soon, the taxi drove into the main street of the city, passing through high-rise buildings, and drove in the bustling urban area for more than 30 minutes. After crossing the urban area, it stopped outside an old small hotel near the suburbs.
“Crack!”
The car door opened, Andrew got out, carrying his suitcase, and hurried into the hotel.
Su Xia also entered the hotel and floated behind him like a ghost.
Soon, Andrew booked a room using a fake identity.
He walked in a hurry and entered the third floor. A room opened on the side of the corridor.
During this time, he occasionally used his peripheral vision to look around to make sure that no one was following him. This old hotel had no surveillance, which was very suitable for people like him.
After entering the room, he immediately closed the door.
"Bang!"
Andrew leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was the only one in the room, which made him feel much more at ease.
It was clearly winter, but there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. One could imagine how anxious he was.
He dropped the suitcase on the bed, punched in the code, and opened it with a click.
The contents of the box were different from what Su Xia had imagined. They were not banknotes or other valuables, but several women's clothes, wigs and a lot of cosmetics.
Under Su Xia's gaze, Andrew took off his previous clothes and carefully put on the women's clothes he brought with him.
Then, he held a pile of cosmetics, sat in front of the mirror, and started the next step.
"It looks like they need to disguise themselves." Su Xia nodded secretly, standing aside and observing slowly.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that our greatest, most permanent, and most universal art is men dressing up as women.
Now, the Andrew of this world is demonstrating how to dress up with his actual behavior.
I saw him putting on makeup, applying lipstick, trimming his eyebrows, and performing a series of operations in an orderly manner. Slowly, he turned into a fat woman with dark skin.
Obviously, he should have prepared these things long ago in case of any emergency.
The flights were shut down and he had to resort to this backup plan.
This kind of advanced disguise technology is something that only many agents can learn, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with it.
Then he swallowed a dark red pill and inhaled a small bottle of special gas.
“Cough… cough cough…”
He coughed lightly a few times, then spoke a few more words, and a shrill female voice came out of his throat.
After doing all this, Andrew stood up and turned around in the mirror, as if admiring himself.
"It should be fine."
He muttered to himself, and now there was nothing recognizable about his previous self.
Then, he cut all the clothes he had been wearing into very small pieces, almost like particles, with scissors, and threw them into the toilet, flushing them away bit by bit.
Even the suitcase was forcibly torn into pieces, broken into small particles, and flushed down the toilet.
He poured corrosive liquid on some metal fixtures on the suitcase, and only crushed them when they were almost corroded and threw them into the toilet.
"Time waits for no one. Find a safe place to hide for a few days and then make plans slowly." Andrew whispered to himself and then left the hotel.
After that, he did not take a taxi but walked along the road leading to the suburbs.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, an old villa appeared on the side of the road.
Andrew took out the key and did not walk towards the main gate of the villa. Instead, he walked towards the garage of the villa, opened the garage, and there was a black car inside.
"After years of preparation, it's finally of some use."
Andrew pressed the car key.
"Do those idiots in the group really think they can control me forever? Whether it's the mechanical race, the masked weirdo or the group, just fight slowly... What happens next is none of my business!"
On the way here, he destroyed his old cell phone and threw the debris into a roadside ditch.
The old identity is leaving and a new day is beckoning to him.
This car is his hope for a new era.
"There shouldn't be any surprises."
Andrew planned to drive to an underground safe house in the suburbs, where he had a large amount of supplies prepared, enough for him to live alone for several years.
However, he had just got into the car when the accident happened.
“Crash——”
The metal rolling door of the garage suddenly dropped down without any warning, blocking his way out.
The sunlight outside was suddenly blocked out, and the entire garage fell into darkness.
Andrew's heart skipped a beat and he immediately had a bad feeling.
"What's going on?"
He gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand and reached under the passenger seat with the other hand to take out a gun he had hidden there a long time ago.
He was observing his surroundings all the way and no one followed him.
Could it be that the garage had fallen into disrepair and suddenly broke down?
Andrew pinned his hopes on this possibility.
However, he had another vague guess in his mind, which was the one he was most reluctant to face.
"It should just be broken..."
He said this to himself, as if to comfort himself.
But he still sat in the car, not daring to get out to check. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his palms were sweating, his chest kept heaving, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
The garage was silent, dark and cold, so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.
Sitting all the time won't work.
Andrew swallowed and reached for the car door, intending to go out and take a look.
But he suddenly trembled all over, his face changed drastically, his pupils contracted, his heart slowed down, and he stared out the left window - there was a dark shadow outside!
There was a man, expressionless, standing outside the car window, staring at him quietly.
"You... who are you?" His voice was unstable and he tried his best to control it, but it was still trembling.
"Can't you guess?" Su Xia asked him back.
"I……"
"I'll give you three chances. If you can't guess it, I'll kill you."
Su Xia inserted three fingers deep into her body, and her voice was as cold as if it came from hell.
Andrew's expression changed drastically, and he asked hurriedly: "Are you the masked weirdo?"
Su Xia nodded indifferently: "It seems that you can guess it."
"Masked Stranger, what do you want from me?"
"If you keep acting stupid and asking these boring questions, I'll kill you too."
"I……"
Andrew opened his mouth, his face turned pale, and he wanted to say something, but when he thought of what Su Xia said, he quickly closed his mouth, not daring to say anything meaningless.
The man in front of him was a top-notch ruthless person with a bad reputation and had killed countless people. He didn't dare to gamble his life on Su Xia's kindness.
Su Xia was very satisfied with his tact and continued, "This garage is quite good. It's far away from the city and quite quiet, suitable for private communication."
Andrew took the initiative to leave crowded places, saving Su Xia a lot of trouble.
He didn't dare to speak, but nodded repeatedly to indicate that Su Xia was right.
"Next, I will ask some questions. I ask and you answer. If I am satisfied, I will let you go." Su Xia said.
Andrew continued to nod, indicating that it was okay, but still did not dare to speak.
At the same time, the mission [Buried in Hell] sent a reminder to Su Xia:
[The current stage has been completed, and the task rewards have been issued, please check it carefully]
Seeing this hint, Su Xia felt relieved.
The anti-stance device is finally available!
He almost lost his life in Kaiba Castle for this little thing, but it was all worth it.
Just as Su Xia was about to check the reward, he frowned.
"Something's wrong."
He suddenly sensed that a composite metal object was approaching rapidly - falling from the sky in an arc-shaped trajectory, and was about to overlap with his position.
"155mm guided artillery shells!"
Su Xia's heart trembled as she recognized the thing that was approaching rapidly.
There are enemies in the distance!
He broke the car door in an instant, grabbed Andrew, and shouted, “Don’t move!”
At the same time, he waved his hand, and the entire car shattered instantly, turning into countless metal fragments. Countless metal pieces also poured out from his storage space, surrounding the two of them.
The next moment, the shell that fell from the sky hit the villa where they were.
“Boom—”
The explosion sounded, shaking the earth and causing smoke and dust to rise.
The entire villa was destroyed in an instant and turned into a pile of ruins, and the garage next to it was not spared.
Fortunately, it was just one shell, and with Su Xia's protection, both of them were safe and sound.
Andrew trembled and turned pale: "Damn it, it's them! They found out, they came here!"
