"What..." Before anyone could realize what was going on, two more people were knocked down inexplicably one after another.

"It's you?!" An armed man next to Aaron roared and wanted to point his weapon at Aaron. His voice was full of anger and unwillingness, but before Aaron had time to be afraid, the man fell down.

He fell to the ground.

In less than a few seconds, all the militants who captured them were knocked down, leaving only four prisoners standing in a mess in the tunnel.

"I said, what's going on?" Aaron, who was dumbfounded, stiffly twisted his neck and asked Kong Wei.

"Did he talk to you before he fell?" Kong Wei came back from the surprise, rolled his eyes and asked Aaron.

"Yes." Aaron nodded.

"I understand, you are a signal marker." Kong Wei breathed out, with a certain awe in his voice, "The person who put us here has long been on guard against someone intercepting him on the way, so in

There is a trap set off by a specific signal at the preset location, which is the one these unlucky guys stepped on just now, and the person carrying that specific signal is you."

"..." Aaron was speechless for a while. Although Kong Wei's analysis was a bit unbelievable, Aaron felt that the old district chief could indeed do such a thing.

"Is there a way to untie us?" Gu Yanqing, who had always been calm, asked Kong Wei.

"Of course, otherwise this job will be in vain." Kong Wei shook his body, and a ceramic blade as thin as a cicada's wings slipped out of his cuffs and landed on his palm. After a few seconds, the simple handcuffs made of composite materials were cut off by the blade.

.

"You have quite a conscience." When Kong Wei got out of trouble, Aaron had always been afraid that this kid would turn his back on him, but he didn't expect him to untie everyone's restraints honestly.

"It's not that I have a conscience, it's that I haven't lived enough. We are still standing in the trap just now. If I do something bad to you, those people on the ground will serve as a warning to me." Kong Wei shook his head with a wry smile.

"Trap..." Upon hearing this, Aaron cast his eyes towards the surrounding concrete walls. In the dim light, he saw many small and medium-sized pipes inserted into the wall from different angles. It seems that the bullets that knocked down the militants came from

However, in this underground area where pipelines are crisscrossed, such pipelines are so common that even the most vigilant people will become accustomed to their existence.

However, if you are the controller of this underground world, these pipelines will become a natural location for laying traps, provided that you know your territory well enough.

Aaron suddenly thought that the person who controlled various infrastructures in the entire ninth district was none other than the district chief, and he immediately understood why Kong Wei said that he was the key to the ambush.

The whole plan is actually very simple. Aaron is not a hacker and his police firewall has not been updated for a long time because of his resignation. The district chief, who has been acting as a relay route for Aaron, can plant viruses into his neural network equipment at any time if he wants.

These viruses can be used for positioning or as pre-designed triggers. If the district chief knows who the attacker is, it is easy to predict what route the attacker will take.

At worst, there is a trap like this on every road that must be passed. Anyway, the district mayor's understanding of the underground pipe network is definitely no worse than that of the city hall. He is also more aware of the illegal modifications carried out by the residents of the 9th District without authorization and bypassing the municipal agencies.

"This old man is too scary. He is not the uncrowned king of District 9, he is the god here." Aaron took a breath of air as he figured out his joints.

"Next we have to meet this god. I don't know if I can survive after meeting him." Kong Wei muttered in a voice just within earshot of Aaron, obviously speaking to Aaron.

"Come on, since you have already seen who is behind me, would you still follow me if you knew you couldn't survive?" Aaron gave him a big look.

"You don't understand. Some things are more terrifying than death." Kong Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But I do know that I will not die. I can roughly guess what this god is planning, but of course it is always just a guess.

If he turns against me, I can't do anything about it."

As he spoke, Kong Wei walked up to a fallen militant and stretched out his hand to check the injury on the other person's body, and carefully pulled out a strange arrow-shaped warhead from the wound.

"...Poisonous?" Aaron habitually noticed that the blood flowing out of the wound was of a different color. No one, living or dead, had this weird color.

"Complex cyanide, the kind that seals the throat when it sees blood." Kong Wei dropped the bullet and wiped his hands on the dead man's clothes, "Let's go, there's nothing to see here."

It was a rare escape from the tiger's mouth, and the rest of the road was still very silent. Aaron and Kong Wei didn't say a word after that. Both of them looked preoccupied. Gu Yanqing was still there as if he was not worried about what would happen to him next.

, Miss Luo became insensitive because she had seen too many situations beyond her own common sense, and the accumulation of current situations in a short period of time exceeded the processing capacity of her brain.

The four of them were intercepted again before they had gone very far. However, unlike the group that was executed on the spot just now, this group of people did not hide their heads or tails.

"...It's actually you?" Aaron stared at the sturdy reformers in front of him and found that he had an impression of their appearance.

"We are ordered to escort you to where you should go." Aaron vaguely remembered that the man he was talking to had a subordinate named Ha Lao Si. It was Ha Lao Si who killed him when he tried to pass through the drone blockade.

A resident of District 9 assisting him.

"So you guys have been working for the district chief for a long time!" Aaron was furious for a moment. He finally understood why the inexplicable interception happened because the district chief who was hiding behind didn't want Aaron's assistant to enter the district government alive.

.

"Huh, us?" The man smiled contemptuously.

"Mr. Zhang also works for the district chief?" Aaron felt a chill rush straight to the top beam door. He was so naive before.

"He has always been a puppet on the surface. The district chief cannot be the district chief and the talker at the same time. That is against the rules." The man nodded.

"But...why did Mr. Zhang die?" Aaron was a little confused.

"Because he still has a conscience." The man sighed softly, "He knows that many people are going to die, and he wants to save as many people as possible. He really regards District 9 as his home."

Aaron was silent. The amount of information just said was too great. If this sentence is true, it means that Mr. Zhang knew beforehand that the disaster was going to break out and that the ninth period was going to become a hell on earth. So who put this

The news was revealed to him? Of course, only the district chief who was the boss behind the scenes was the one.

The district chief knew everything in advance and he allowed it to happen!

"Why!" Aaron punched the concrete wall, and the intense pain could not suppress his heartache.

"He has his reasons." The man gave Aaron an answer that was not an answer. "Don't waste our time. The situation above is very delicate now."

Aaron said nothing more, and no one said anything more. The sound of footsteps and breathing once again became the only melody in the underground world, while the above-ground world was naturally more noisy.

"All the drones sent down have lost contact?" The moment Aaron and others disappeared from the garbage chute, the military commander and Ling Chong's old friend realized that they had been tricked.

Now that the target in the building has disappeared, they no longer need to worry about the threat of bombs, so they sent many reconnaissance drones to the location where Aaron disappeared. However, all the drones dropped were like mud cows sinking into the sea. The only reasonable explanation is that there is something below. Strong signal interference for drones prevents drones from reporting reconnaissance intelligence.

What's even worse is that the external pressure from the Ministry of Emergency Situations is becoming more and more difficult to withstand as time goes by. If the Ministry of Emergency Situations knows that the military has let the duck fly, there is no doubt that the other party will use this matter to make a big fuss about the military. What a shame.

Thinking of this, the commander couldn't help but cast a sinister look at Ling Chong. It was this bastard's accomplice who was cheating, otherwise the military would have controlled the situation long ago.
