Chapter 59: Exchange
The trip back to the Wang Family Estate was quiet as Zhang Qin Feng and Wang Yufei sat on the passenger's seat behind the driver. The two of them were holding each other's hand as they enjoyed the quiet drive back home.
But it was an entirely different matter to Captain Hu and his men. A second car came to replace Ruo-Lan as they drive the vehicle back to the city. By the time they found the suspicious hideout believe to be their hideout, it was emptied long ago.
"Damn! To think we're just a little late." Captain Hu used a special ultra-violet torchlight to scan his surrounding for more clues. But all they managed to get is some takeaway boxes and disposable wares, along with the laptop used to track where Wang Yufei's car went.
"Captain, there's an old CCTV nearby that caught sight of six individuals escaping from this building less than half an hour ago. But we're unable to track where they've gone after this junction." Fei-Hu said. He was one of the members that participate in the gunfight two days ago outside Zhang Qin Feng's studio.
"Check all CCTV recording for possible six individuals or two groups of three individuals. Make a note of their appearance, dress code, and body movement. If it's possible, these people might have a tattoo on them, so keep an eye to that as well." Captain Hu said.
"This is going to be trouble… Where did they hide? And why they come to our Suihe City? Is there a connection between them, or it's just pure convenience for them to conduct their trade with their business partner?"
Captain Hu guessed. Right now, the clue behind the Horus Eye Mercenaries' visit is still unknown to them.
…
[Toot!]
Stein's notice call wakes Zhang Qin Feng from his sleep as he went to the window located in the corner of their room.
'Speak.' Zhang Qin Feng ordered as he calmly stands there waiting for Stein to communicate with him.
[The system has successfully hacked into the target's devices. Their location is now known to us. So far, they have frequent communication exchanges between eleven different spots, but all the communication leads to the same hub]
-
[And that hub is just nine minutes away from our facility. Suggesting that the user maintain full alert when you're going in and out from that location]
-
'What? A hub near my mining facility? Does that means… The terrorist's headquarters are located right beside my workshop?' Zhang Qin Feng asked.
-
[There's an 85% possibility. Out of that eleven communication spots, three locations are highly suspicious, with close to twenty lines of exchanges happening in a single day. As for the seven remaining spots, they're either a mobile outpost, temporary residence, or armory]
-
[Would the user like to take action?]
-
Stein's question came to Zhang Qin Feng too sudden. It almost caused him to choke on his own saliva from listening to the question.
'Why would I take action by myself? I am no special force nor armed officers. This is not something I'm allowed to recklessly take action.' Zhang Qin Feng replied.
'Put these matters aside. Unless the terrorists came to disturb me again, let us not getting involved with them.' Zhang Qin Feng added.
-
[Instruction taken. Putting this concern into a side folder for the record. We will now move to the topic concerning Digital Currency Exchange]
-
[Right now, the system has identified six individuals sellers that are interested in selling out what they have in their secure wallets. By purchasing what they have, we'll be able to add another 1,500 coins into our own secure wallet]
-
'Just 1,500 coins? How much are we going to pay them?' Zhang Qin Feng asked.
-
[400 Dongcheng Dollars. Out of the six individuals, one of them has an intention to sell the mining rig in his hand. His offer price is a hundred dollars for the two units]
-
'Do you think we should get it?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. From Zhang Qin Feng's perspective, he has no reason to purchase two older rigs from some random miners to increase his own mining speed.
-
[The system believes that researching the rig might be good in the long run. After all, the Processing System wasn't meant to be used for this function]
Stein replied. Listening to Stein's suggestion made Zhang Qin Feng show interest as he's curious about what the Processing System was actually created for.
'What do they use the Processing System for then?' Zhang Qin Feng asked.
[Before the apocalypse, the processing system was used to process heavy data transfer between cities. A single unit could run the entire surveillance network for a month with five-dimensional contrast for a small neighborhood]
-
[In the bigger cities, these types of equipment were applied in a gridline of one unit per kilometer square to create an extensive surveillance network. They can also be in the program and operating military vehicles, national defensive systems, and material printers]
-
'What the… Doesn't that mean I'm underutilizing it right now?' Zhang Qin Feng scratched his head. To think that such a piece of state-of-art electronic equipment was actually used by him to mine digital currency.
…
"Is there still no news about where the Tactical Warhead went?" the person speaking on the other side of the phone asked.
"Sorry, Howard… The location of that item is still unknown. But we've secured the hacking software before that traitor manages to make a run with it." the man with a dagger said.
"Shouldn't we quickly make an exchange with the buyer before we get into the special force's radar? Two of our outposts were taken out before we knew it. There are computer experts from that side too."
"I'm afraid that getting too greedy will cause us more loss than profit." the man with a dagger added.
"Do you think I don't want to sell them and get out from Dongcheng ASAP?" Howard Saachez Evergreen said from the other side of the phone. From his tone, it seems that there's some internal struggle inside the Horus Eye Mercenaries itself.
"Just pay attention to Poker and Lady. I'm worried that the two had betrayed us. If there's anything, just ask Giant. He'll know what to do." after finishing what he was going to say, Howard Saachez Evergreen cut the communication line.
"Of course, boss…" Dagger, the one that speaks with him, nodded as he slapped the buttock of the woman bending near his crotch.
"Did you heard what the boss said?" he asked.
"You mean… About paying attention to Poker and me?" Lady grabbed Dagger's genital as she speaks.
