Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Since Zhuang Xuteng drew a very accurate and detailed terrain map, the four-person team did not need to risk exposure and go to the site for investigation. They could determine the route of action directly from the map.

They picked a manhole cover of a municipal hot steam pipe as a hiding place. First, the manhole cover happened to be in the path of the truck with the lights off. Secondly, underneath it is a pipe that carries pressured hot steam, just like a heater, which can help the people hiding inside overcome the severe cold. As for the third point, there is no snow on the top because of the heat. It is not only easy to observe, but also will not leave any obvious changes due to movement.

"When will we set off?" Morgana looked at the map and said, "I think it would be better to hide in earlier. Naike said that the streets nearby will become very quiet at night, with few people walking around. This is actually It’s not conducive to entering and hiding. And we don’t know if we can crawl through the pipe by going down from the manhole cover next to it.”

Otter shook his head and said: "Generally speaking, it's not possible. When the municipal government repairs these pipelines, they only leave a space of about 20 centimeters above and to the left and right. Your two bodies will be stuck in it. There are only pipelines built within 5 years. Or the underground high-pressure steam pipelines over there in Taiping District are wide enough and they adopted new standards.”

"How do you know?" Morgana asked.

"I've drilled it." Otter waved his hand and said, "It's not a good memory. There was a killer behind it, so I had to drill it. It was also winter, and I almost got stuck in it, and I almost got burned to death. I strongly don't recommend it. You're going to do that unless you have the right Shadow Implant."

An implant suitable for crawling into narrow and hot tube wells? This is obviously not the case.

"In this case, you have to go directly to the wellhead where you want to hide, but that one is near the gate of the frozen fish factory. Isn't it too obvious?"

"Witch, don't worry, my car has a passage that opens downward, which is wide enough." Zhuang Xuteng said: "As long as the car is parked directly above the wellhead, we can open the manhole cover directly from the bottom of the car, get down, and then close the manhole cover."

"Your car also has this function? It's great, it's great!"

"You have to unload the motorcycle, and then we have to go out together." Zhuang Xuteng quickly arranged the work and said: "Otter, you put on makeup to match the characteristics of a senior gang member of the Xixing Society. When you drive, it feels like you are inspecting How lower-level gangs operate.”

Otter nodded and said, "That makes sense, I think it's okay."

"Brother Dao, you are in the back of the car with us. I will drive the bottom door, and you will pry the manhole cover. The witch and I will get in as quickly as possible, and you are responsible for covering the manhole cover again, and then let the otter drive away from the scene. Move quickly and make noise. Xiao, we all need to practice first."

Both Ge Gongdao and Morgana agreed with Zhuang Xuteng's plan, but Otter was a little worried: "I'm not familiar with your car, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get it right."

"When the time comes, open the car's bottom door and drive over. We will use our eyes to see it, and then tell you through the headphones whether it is to the left or right and whether it is almost there."

"Yes, I have no problem." Otter said, "You three practice lifting manhole covers. During the day, I will check the hooked nose and the thin pole. Regardless of whether there is any news, I will be back before three o'clock in the afternoon. One hour changes For makeup, I can be ready by four o'clock, is there any problem with the time?"

"No problem, just follow this schedule." Zhuang Xuteng clapped his hands and said, "Now let's split up! If you finish training early, take the time to rest and recharge your batteries."

Otter went out alone, and the other three went to the street to find manhole covers for high-pressure steam pipes, and also looked for a handy pickaxe. Basically, if you search carefully near all main roads, you will see that there are many similar manhole covers. Ge Gongdao dug out a pointed pickaxe from the warehouse, thrust it into the hole in the manhole cover, and lifted it up easily.

"It's quite easy." Ge Gongdao weighed the manhole cover.

"The bottom cover of the car is a little larger than the wellhead. You also have to consider that the space is limited and the pickaxe will not be as easy to wield as it is now." Zhuang Xuteng looked at the wellhead and said: "Brother Dao, let's drive the car over, directly from here practise."

"I think it will work. There are few people and few cars in the river embankment area. If you hang a warning sign at the back for car breakdown and repair, no one will care."

After parking the white beast and placing warning signs, they began to mess around in the carriage. Ge Gongdao practiced lifting the lid, lifting the lid, and putting down the lid, while Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana practiced slithering inside.

They collided many times, experimented with various positions and sequences, and finally found that it was more reasonable for Morgana to go down first. When entering under the manhole cover, the two of them can only stick together, and the space for movement is limited. Therefore, they must try to reduce the weight and volume they carry, and their clothes must be as light as possible. Considering that Zhuang Xuteng still had to dig under the truck and didn't know how far he would have to follow the truck, he prioritized taking care of Zhuang Xuteng and reducing Morgana's equipment.

"I can cooperate, but don't have any dirty thoughts." Morgana looked down at herself and said, "I'll go back and change my clothes. They need to be tighter."

"Don't force it too hard. I can actually do it by myself."

"No. It's fine when you go in, but you need help when you get out. Don't forget to put the cover back on again. You can't do it without me!" Morgana said: "Let's take this cover back and change it. , saw off the protruding part below and leave the top part, which is easier.”

"Stealing manhole covers? Isn't that too classy?" Ge Gongdao scratched his head and said.

"We replaced it after the mission was completed," Zhuang Xuteng said: "We don't even need to remove the warning sign on the back of the car, just treat it as a warning that the manhole cover is missing - it's not a big problem."

Morgana rode her motorcycle back to change clothes, while Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao stole a manhole cover and went back to cut it. At noon, Morgana came back. She changed into tighter and more slippery clothes, which looked a bit like a diving suit.

"It's either a suit or a diving suit. It's for cold waters. It's warm enough. There's nothing under this suit except a few straps, which has reduced my size to the greatest extent." Morgana pointed at Zhuang Xuteng and said: "I'm warning you, get down. Be more honest with your hands and feet from now on, or I will teach you a lesson you will never forget."

"I control it resolutely within the scope of my control, but your clothes are too revealing..." Zhuang Xuteng quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't worry, it's dark under the manhole cover, and you can't see anything at all. I closed my eyes and rested, and my mind was empty. Stray thoughts.”

Morgana blushed and quickly turned around to go back to the house, avoiding Zhuang Xuteng's sight. Ge Gongdao sighed on the side and muttered something like, "Smooth is best, and it seems to be acceptable if it is rubbed."

"Brother Dao, what did you say?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"I hope everything goes well." Brother Dao gave a thumbs up and said, "You'll be fine!"

At the scheduled time in the afternoon, Otter came back on time. He said that he had basically figured out the situation of the two doormen and knew their names and approximate residences. However, they were on night shift today, and if they wanted to go to their residence to block them, they would have to wait until daytime tomorrow. From now until tomorrow morning, everyone's actions will focus on digging under the car.

Everyone acted as planned. Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana put on their clothes for action, packed their equipment, and then took a nap behind the white beast. Otter went to change his clothes, and Ge Gongdao checked the power of the car radio and everyone's headset, as well as the white beast's food and drink. At 4:30 in the afternoon, everyone checked each other and then set off. At 5:15, they arrived near the frozen fish factory.

Snow had begun to fall by this time, and there was almost a centimeter of snow on the ground. It was time to get off work, and everyone was in a hurry, fearing that they would not be able to squeeze into the bus and would have to freeze in the snow.

There are not many private vehicles, and the white beast easily finds the lane it needs. Zhuang Xuteng opened the bottom door of the car, lay down and looked ahead, constantly adjusting the position of the car. Or to avoid giving away the signal, they used code words, and they were discussing what they had eaten at the last drunken party.

Hot dishes go to the left, cold dishes go to the right, slow down when drinking, and stop when talking about beautiful women. According to this password method, they accurately stopped on the manhole cover. Ge Gongdao directly swung the pickaxe with only half of the handle left, hit the manhole cover accurately in one stroke, then bent and tilted it, and used his amazing strength to lift it directly. Get inside the car.

"Down!" Before Zhuang Xuteng could finish his words, Morgana slipped down from the mouth of the well. She folded her limbs, held her chest with one hand, and padded the back of her head with the other. Like a pelican entering the water, she instantly disappeared into the steam at the mouth of the well. Zhuang Xuteng didn't waste any time, sliding down from the bottom door, and his movements were quite agile. However, he couldn't just shrink down and descend. Instead, he had to support the well wall with his hands and feet and control his speed to avoid hitting Morgana.

As soon as the two people entered the well, they curled up and reduced their vertical height. The moist and cold air condenses into fog here, lingering and affecting sight, so they rely more on touch and hearing to perceive the surrounding environment. Zhuang Xuteng directly used three flashes, adjusted his posture with incredible frequency, and then steadily slid down from Morgana, occupying a narrow space together.

"Cover!" Zhuang Xuteng sent a signal, and Ge Gongdao buckled up the reduced-weight modified manhole cover. Then, the white beast continued to move forward, as if it was just a little distracted and stopped for a moment.

"Can you adjust your posture? I found a pit where I can put my feet, but it needs to be a little higher." Morgana raised her head, and the distance between her two pairs of eyes was only thirty centimeters, and it could be further reduced.

"Okay, I'm holding on. There's still..." Zhuang Xuteng looked at it and said, "There's still a gap of fifteen centimeters. We can all go up."

"Well, okay, wait for me, come up, you can put your legs on my knees, just enough to support me." Zhuang Xuteng sniffed and said, "Huh? Is there something wrong with your sense of smell? Why do I feel that Do you smell good?"

"This is the steam tunnel."

"Yes, you smell better in the steam tunnel than in the car. It's strange..."
