After waiting in the dark for several hours, Aaron and the others finally arrived at the resource search team sent out from this stronghold. It turned out that their expectations were correct.

"Give me a reason to believe you." The leader of the search team walked out of the stronghold with a pale face and walked straight to the one-armed man.

"Xiaohong died inside, do I need to say more?" The one-armed man looked at the other person calmly.

"...Who did it?" The leader was silent for a moment, probably believing that the one-armed man was innocent.

"I don't know. I'm also looking for the murderer. Yesterday, someone attacked my stronghold. I only managed to survive with the help of Yu Wanzhi's people." The one-armed man shook his head.

"Yu Wanzhi?" The leader raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you lose this arm when you were working for the Rat King? Why are you getting together with Yu Wanzhi now?"

"Is now the time to talk about the past?" The one-armed man smiled bitterly, "If we can't unite when things have reached this point, then we deserve to die."

"It's really not like the words that can come out of your mouth." The leader also showed a subtle smile, "But even if you say that, maybe things are really that bad."

"I'm not here to persuade you to join Yu Wanzhi, but if you want the truth, you have the best chance of joining them. No matter who captured my people and killed Xiaohong, I will make these people pay the price." The one-armed man

Said again.

"It seems we don't have a choice." The leader glanced at the entrance blocked by camouflage. "After this place is exposed, it can no longer be used. The remaining people must have a safe place to sleep."

"So you agreed?" the one-armed man asked.

"I agreed, let's call out the people from Yu Wanzhi." The leader nodded.

"Sure enough, you have already seen it."

"Nonsense, I knew something was wrong when I saw you alone here. Your current condition is not suitable for wandering around alone. No one is with you, which only means that those who are with you are not suitable for showing up." The leader.

His face showed the displeasure of "being looked down upon".

"Come out!" So the one-armed man waved widely to where Aaron and the others were hiding, indicating that they could show up.

"It seems that the deal is settled." Aaron exhaled when he saw this, and led his men out from behind the ruins.

"I know all the capable people under Yu Wanzhi, but I have never met you before." The leader glanced at Ling Xiao strangely, then looked at Aaron up and down, and said in the standard colloquialism of a local snake in the ninth district.

"I'm a policeman, and now everyone is in the same boat, so I'm temporarily working for Boss Yu." Aaron said honestly and honestly.

"Ha, Yu Wanzhi's connections are really getting wider and wider. He can even serve as a police officer. Can he intercede with the government to remove the armed drones above?" The leader's words were obviously mocking Aaron's police.

identity.

"Those drones are not controlled by the military now." However, Aaron's next answer stunned him.

"What did you say?!" The leader was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"The drones were indeed launched by the military and intended to suppress the Ninth District. However, when they were first launched, the drones were taken over by unknown forces and a military transport plane was shot down over the Ninth District.

Warn the military not to act rashly, otherwise the resistance in District 9 would have been wiped out by the military's means and ground troops would be deployed to fully control the situation. How could it be what it is now?" Aaron continued to tell the truth.

"So that's what happened." After a brief moment of confusion, the leader suddenly realized that people who can get ahead in District 9 can be crazy or cruel, but they will never be brainless.

"Does anyone hope that District 9 will remain in the current chaos for the time being?" Aaron looked at the other party with a serious expression. "I suspect that this chaos is directly related to the missing people in District 9."

"You said missing?" The leader immediately noticed something was wrong in his words, "All my people died inside."

"It's a long story. Do we really want to stand here as a target?" Aaron looked up at the sky and said.

"After taking care of what's inside, we'll follow you." Of course the leader knew the danger of being exposed all the time, so he decided to do what needed to be done first.

The corpses of the people who died in the stronghold were gathered inside and poured with fuel. These supplies that were brought back by the search team and were originally intended for cooking and heating had to be used for such a sad purpose. As a flame was burned,

Soon after it was ignited, a fire broke out in the stronghold, and the bodies inside were swallowed up by the fire, leaving only ashes. The search team then removed the optical camouflage equipment at the main entrance and followed Aaron and the others to evacuate to the warehouse stronghold.

——That afternoon——

"Something went wrong again?" Finding out that Aaron had brought back another search team, Yu Wanzhi immediately realized that this mission might have complications again.

"It's a big problem, and it may help us solve some problems. Can you please invite Mr. Hong to come over and talk?" Aaron believed that his findings warranted a face-to-face discussion with Mr. Hong, so he made this request.

"Master Hong is inside helping people treat their injuries. It would be better for us to go in and talk to him." Yu Wanzhi was a little unhappy because Aaron proposed to directly step over him and talk to Master Hong, but he still agreed.

"Master Hong." The leader, who was full of charlatanism, bowed his head and bowed obediently when he saw the kind-faced Master Hong.

"Any new discoveries?" Mr. Hong nodded slightly to the leader and turned his attention to Aaron.

"The current situation is like this..." Aaron didn't dare to lie to this old man. He honestly told everything he saw and speculated.

"The third party, no, should it be counted as the fourth party?" After An Jing listened to Aaron's explanation, Hong Ye, who was deep in thought, casually said this.

"Master Hong, who do you think is Mr. Liu's people?" No one else dared to speak, but Yu Wanzhi, the highest-ranking person here, spoke first.

"Break in and rob people." Mr. Hong's tone was very conclusive, "Although Old Liu is a killer, he is not bloodthirsty. Why don't he and his gang use violence without any benefit?

Because that would lower their own worth, but I didn’t expect Lao Liu to be willing to take the initiative to save people, maybe I had misjudged him before.”

"Maybe he just found benefits that we haven't seen clearly yet?" Yu Wanzhi used words very respectfully, but it sounded like he didn't respect Mr. Liu's behavior very much.

"That would be easier to handle. As long as we catch him, we can figure out who is behind the scenes to provide him with benefits. Even if he suddenly becomes benevolent, we still have to treat him as an enemy." Mr. Hong.

sighed.

"Is there no room for negotiation between the two sides?" Aaron didn't understand that Mr. Hong persisted in a hostile attitude even though he knew that the other party was probably doing good things.

"We are here and we have never hidden ourselves. If he trusts us too much and sends someone to say hello, he will not trust us enough to think that we do not exist and act alone." Mr. Hong sighed, "I don't know if he is in this disaster.

What has happened to him? He was always a very paranoid guy, and what he has become now makes me even more unsure."

"Hmm." Hong Ye's answer disappointed Aaron. If the two largest forces in District 9 could merge, the situation would undoubtedly improve a lot.

"So should we change our policy when we face them in the future?" Compared to the idealistic Aaron, Yu Wanzhi pays more attention to practical issues.

"It's not necessary yet." Mr. Hong shook his head. "He knows that if he continues to come towards us, he will bump into us sooner or later, so he will definitely give advance instructions to the people he sends. If he regards me as an enemy, I can't let our people suffer the first advantage."

, if he still misses the old favor, his people will most likely go around us, and even if he encounters an encounter, we just don’t bother him."

"But now both of us are eyeing the same thing. If this continues, we will bump into each other sooner or later." Mr. Hong and Mr. Liu have had a tacit understanding for many years, but Yu Wanzhi will not believe in such an illusory thing as a tacit understanding.

"When the time comes, we can do whatever we want, as long as we don't do it to death." However, Mr. Hong still believed in his own experience more.

"What if the other party takes the people we want to attract as hostages, and things turn into what we see today?" Before Yu Wanzhi could speak again, Aaron, who was the decision-maker on the scene, raised a question.
