Chapter 89 NO.0058: Stress Test

The first person to react was White.

With tears still hanging on her face, she anxiously ran to Jiang Zhou. When the latter saw this, he immediately put down the dark-skinned man on his shoulders and pushed it into his sister's hands.

.

"The broken rib has penetrated into the lobe of the lung. He needs to be sent to the hospital immediately to save him."

Jiang Zhou said.

Recalling the old man's previous attempt to smear himself, he added:

"Besides, don't say I saved you."

"I don't know how to thank you, I..."

Carefully picking up his younger brother, White thanked him repeatedly with trembling lips.

It was also the first time that Jiang Zhou saw an expression so close to that of an ordinary person from the opponent's face that looked extremely intimidating due to genetic enhancement.

Come to think of it, she is probably just like the sisters who care about their younger brothers all over the world.

"Don't thank me, just take him to the hospital quickly... If he dies like this, whose money will I win in future poker games?"

Jiang Zhou waved his hand, and then his eyes turned to the armed flying car hovering not far away, and Shenlan and the others under the flying car.

One, two, three, four, five...

Jiang Zhou glanced at it casually and counted silently in his heart.

From what he could see, there were at least five automatic weapons aimed at him. They covered each other and formed an airtight web of crossfire.

If there was a conflict, in this open area with no cover, even if he tried his best to dodge, it would only take a second or two for him to be beaten into pieces.

Not to mention...

Simply ignoring the automatic weapons aimed at him overtly and covertly, Jiang Zhou focused on the person standing next to Shen Lan like an iron tower.

Wearing the full-coverage exoskeleton armor issued by the resettlement area government, he held a huge rail gun in his hand. That person gave Jiang Zhou a stronger sense of oppression than the others combined.

The other party just glanced at him, and Jiang Zhou's edge enhancement system made all the muscles in his body tense up.

Dangerous enough to be fatal.

His primitive survival instinct reminded him like this.

That person is definitely an adjuster, and the depth of adjustment is higher than myself.

Depth 2? Depth 3?

Not only that, it is very likely that the other party is also an adjuster walking on the path of upgrade - otherwise, the danger premonition brought by the edge enhancement system would not be so strong.

This is an opponent that even at his peak, he cannot defeat one on one...

However, this did not prevent Jiang Zhou from greeting his family when he heard that the other party planned to blame the Icarus Liberation Front.

"Ms. Dark Blue, who is this?"

Ignoring Jiang Zhou's previous scolding, the man turned to look at Shenlan and asked.

"The bodyguard I hired before."

Deep Blue replied in a cold tone.

As she said that, she also turned her head and looked at the other party's black mask integrated with countless sensors.

Her eyes were as cold as her tone.

"And coincidentally, the person who protected me comes from the same place as the person you previously claimed was coming to kill me."

she continued.

Even though he couldn't see the other person's expression through the mask, Deep Blue could still clearly feel that the person was stunned.

"You mean, this kid is... from Icarus?"

About two seconds later, the other party confirmed with some disbelief.

Shen Lan did not answer, but threw his car keys to White who was rushing to send his brother to the hospital.

"How can you hire people from Icarus as your bodyguards? This is not a violation of the principle of neutrality..."

Seeing this, the man's tone suddenly turned cold.

"If I hadn't hired him, I would have been a corpse by the time you arrived."

To this, Shen Lan replied without emotion.

Of course, this may be what you would like to see...

Deep Blue thought in her heart.

But after some hesitation, she finally did not say these words.

There is no need to break up now, everything will be discussed later when we return to the tenth floor.

With this thought in mind, she walked towards Liao Qi.

She continued as she walked:

"So, don't continue to say in front of me, 'It was Icarus who sent people to assassinate me,' or other remarks that insult my IQ. This matter is over here, you..."

Before Shen Lan finished speaking, Liao Qi, who had been standing still before, suddenly rushed towards him for some unknown reason.

His speed was so fast that Shen Lan was dazzled, and by the time she reacted, Liao Qi had already blocked herself behind him like a lion guarding its cubs.

Deep Blue realized something and turned around.

Sure enough, a row of black guns were pointed at her and Liao Qi.

The people from the Public Security Center's Quick Response Force were standing like a firing squad at this moment.

"What do you want to do?"

Facing the scene in front of her, Shenlan was shocked and angry.

How dare they?

Being able to become a negative layer agent, Shenlan is certainly not a fool.

The serial assassinations against him, the framing of Icarus, and the belated reinforcements... all these things show that someone wants to use his death to provoke a conflict between the resettlement area government and

The paradox of Icarus.

And among these "people", the security center on the first floor, which controls the most powerful armed force of the resettlement area government at the underground level, but does not have much autonomy, is not uninvolved.

reason.

But even so, Shen Lan didn't think that after the previous assassination failed, the other party would break up his face so directly.

An assassination operation is one thing, but breaking up the reputation is another. No matter how you put it, no matter how much a joke the Provisional Government of the Resettlement Area is, they still maintain a certain face.

The various departments cannot be openly hostile to each other, which is one of the things that must be maintained.

"Please don't be nervous, Ms. Deep Blue. We just need you to admit that the previous assassination of you was done by Icarus. So, please let the other party come over, and then leave everything here to us."

The leader looked at Shenlan and said with great sincerity.

It's as sincere as an ultimatum.

Seeing that Shenlan didn't reply, he paused and then added:

"You know, this is what it means, so please don't make it difficult for us."

The other party said that this meant "above", but Deep Blue naturally couldn't believe such nonsense. After all, the implementation details of the cooperation between the resettlement area government and Icarus were the old men in power on the tenth floor who personally handed over to themselves.

Task.

If the resettlement area government was still worried that the Icarus Liberation Front would integrate the entire underground forces and challenge their authority before, then now, they have suffered a serious blow from Pluto's deep dive, and the tenth floor is the most willing

the status seen.

Able to maintain the stability of the underground order, but not powerful enough to challenge the authority of the government.

Therefore, at least until Ikaros becomes powerful enough again, it is impossible for the Tenth Level to attack them.

This is their consistent approach to balance.

"Is this what above means, or is it what you mean?"

Shenlan calmed down and said, then without waiting for the other party to answer, she continued:

"Of course, no matter who it is, I will protect this person."

She said and walked next to Liao Qi.

At this distance, if the opponent fires a gun, he will definitely injure himself.

The man at the head of the task force sighed. He did not answer her questions, but sent her several encrypted messages that burned after reading.

[Ms. Dark Blue, please believe me, this is not worth doing. 】
