City of Sin (Second Chapter: Big Dry Spell)

  "You're doing it a bit hastily, why not take away all the things that should be taken? You've left many people behind, actually many of them don't need to stay, as long as they still want to eat, they'll go do illegal things. I'll still have trouble, you'd better do it thoroughly, if needed, I can assist you." Yu Fei said and turned around to leave. Xu Huaiqing looked at the money in the paper bag, he knew the money couldn't be Yu Fei's, but this was also a kind of bonus, since he felt that he wasn't good enough yet, then he should do better. He took the money back on board and continued preparing for the next job.

  Yu Fei walked away from the dock on his own, taking a detour to avoid being followed. Xu Huaqing returned to the cabin, remembering from past experience not to rush and to thoroughly clean up the battlefield. What he picked up was not just money, but also a large package of spoils of war. During the fight, in order to avoid frequently changing bullets, he chose a Calico submachine gun with a cylindrical magazine that held 100 rounds, so he could change magazines fewer times. He glanced at the MP-5K submachine gun beside him, which was still useful for self-defense, but would be too much trouble to use to kill over a hundred targets.

  The legend has it that the Calico M-960 is prone to jamming, so he took out the gun and disassembled it for a thorough cleaning. Then he loaded the empty cylindrical magazine with bullets. The unique feature of this gun lies in the position of its magazine - the cylindrical magazine is located at the rear upper part of the gun, which is even more unusual than the P90 submachine gun. Few guns are as unconventional as this one. He still attached a silencer to the muzzle, not wanting to alert everyone around him when he fires inside the room. As for his handgun, he used a Glock 17 with an unusually large magazine capacity. He equipped it with a thirty-round magazine and loaded dozens of hollow-point bullets into various magazines. This time, he really intended to do something that would surprise Yu Fei. In addition to preparing guns and ammunition, he also prepared a lot of explosives - several packs of plastic explosives that could blast holes in walls, blow up anti-theft door locks and safe deposit box locks. Considering the increased vigilance of many illegal industry thugs and security guards after their last operation, he also prepared over a dozen hand grenades, including noise bombs, stun grenades, smoke bombs, and steel ball hand grenades, among others, to deal with different situations.

  To get enough spoils of war onto the car, he still needed a handcart to help transport the spoils of war. He felt that the small luggage cart in the hotel was not bad and didn't take much effort to push. However, buying one with him wasn't very convenient, so grabbing one before action would be fine. Many casinos and nightclubs weren't independent buildings but were inside a comprehensive building, and hotels nearby could rent one out. After careful preparation, Xu Huaiqing looked at his watch and saw that it was almost dawn, so he went to sleep well and waited for nighttime to go to work with energy.

  Wen Qian got up early and checked her phone, Yu Fei sent a text message saying he was already downstairs. She stood on the balcony and looked down to see a military Land Rover off-road vehicle. This guy actually came to her doorstep voluntarily, it seemed he still had some sincerity towards himself. She quickly put on her clothes and went downstairs.

  "Are you off today, no need to wear uniform?" Yu Fei opened the car door early and waited for her to get in. Wen Qian sat on the command vehicle of the military police and felt that the seat was not comfortable at all. She guessed that all military vehicles were like this. "I left a set of uniforms in the office, I can change into them anytime, just in case there's an unexpected task during my break. For now, I haven't been called back to work overtime, let's find a quiet place to have breakfast first."

  "Alright." Yu Fei drove away from her apartment building and onto the city streets. Wen Qian only noticed that there were military police checkpoints, with about six people at each one. It seemed like they had been deployed separately at important intersections instead of all being placed together in one spot. She asked: "You've sent them to stand on the street and get sunburned; they must be suffering quite a bit."

  "Six people in a group, how about that? Let those who want to attack them start thinking. I just want to lure out those who are eager for revenge and eliminate them. When can the crime rate here become the lowest in the country?" Yu Fei introduced his own deployment with great satisfaction. Wen Qian said: "Wanting to make the crime rate here the lowest in the country, unless you work all day without rest, until retirement. Why don't you go on patrol with them?"

  "I divided them into six groups and sent them out, I counted as the support group." Yu Fei pointed to the automatic rifles and other heavy firepower in the car, Wen Qian sighed and said: "It's hot all year round here, standing on the street for duty is not a comfortable thing, it's unbearable to be sunburned for a day without heatstroke."

  "They brought medicine, don't worry about them. Being a soldier is not as comfortable as being a policeman. When it's almost dark, I let them go back and rest." Yu Fei shifted into high gear and sped down the street, morning was a good time to drive fast, by noon it would be congested and pedestrians would be faster than cars.

  The temporary checkpoint of the military police did not scare off the lawless people, those who took drugs were still taking them, those who sold drugs were still busy running their business, and the guys with guns on their waists were still swaggering around. The seized vehicles soon formed a long queue, and the arrested people were escorted to the military police's detention center by Wu Junwen's professional security company, along with batches of stolen goods being transported back.

  Wen Qian and Yu Fei had breakfast and drove to the seaside to enjoy the view. The two chatted casually along the way, but Yu Fei didn't show any affection towards her. He wasn't thinking about work, just his own thoughts. Wen Qian was getting anxious, the car stopped by the sea, and the cool breeze blew over, but it couldn't calm her down. She decided to take matters into her own hands today, or else this wooden-headed guy would never change. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly put her arms around Yu Fei's neck and kissed him.

  "What else do you want to say?" Yu Fei suddenly said, and Wen Qian didn't know what to say, so she just said: "Since we're already at the seaside, let's go swimming. There are a lot of people here during holidays, but today is not a weekend, it's rare that there are so few people." After finishing speaking, she took off her outer clothes and ran into the sea alone, "Come down quickly."

  "It turns out you were prepared ahead of time." Yu Fei had no choice but to take off his bulky bulletproof vest and wade into the water in his shorts, feeling cool. Wen Qian stood in the waist-deep water, her hands constantly splashing water onto Yu Fei's body. "Why is it so cool here?"

  "The water in the morning is not yet warm, of course it's cool." Wen Qian was playing very happily in the sea water, she saw that he didn't go to the deep water area and even climbed onto his back, pressing him into the seawater. Yu Fei wasn't a land duck either, as soon as he entered the seawater, he swam to one side. Wen Qian stood in the water and found that he was gone, thinking that his swimming skills were not good and he had sunk down. Just as she was looking for him, Yu Fei came out of the water and stood behind her, lightly hugging her. "Is this too fast?"

  Wen Qian, who was being held by him, said: "Why are you always so calm?"

  After dark, Xu Huaqing easily stole a cargo van and also got a small cart similar to the luggage cart in the hotel. After he chose his target, he parked the cargo van in the underground parking lot and then put on a maintenance worker's uniform and pushed the small cart into the building. His cart still had several empty boxes on it, so others didn't know if he was a mover or a maintenance worker coming to replace some equipment. As he walked through the building, no one paid attention to him; people like him came and went every day, and no one noticed him. He easily arrived at the back door of the nightclub on the top floor.

  He still used the old trick to deceive the security guard at the back door, directly controlled the monitoring room and then killed the security guard at the back door. He didn't rush to close the front fire shutter, he just closed the back door and monitoring equipment, and then pushed his luggage cart directly to the office area. These few nights, the night shift hadn't reached the day of issuing salaries, so there was a large amount of cash in the finance department's office. When he arrived at the door of the finance department, all the security guards he had killed along the way were lying obediently on the luggage cart. He stuck plastic explosives on the lock head of the anti-theft security door, inserted a remote-controlled detonator, and easily blew open the door. Then, he threw the bodies into the office and continued to use plastic explosives to deal with the safe.

  Several hundred grams of explosives stuck in the right place easily blew open the safe's door, and the money inside was intact. Xuhuaiqing took out a cloth bag and quickly stuffed the nightclub's monthly income into his own bag. He pushed the cart away from the office area with satisfaction, then put the money in the corner of the security room at the back door, and easily picked up the AK rifle to clean up the customers and staff in front. Xuhuaiqing kicked open the private room door with an AK rifle in hand, and this time he didn't use anesthesia spray on the female customers and female staff, but instead had them help him collect the spoils of war.

  "Put all the valuable things on you into my bag, hurry up, don't shout, the music here is too loud and no one can hear anything, shouting is useless, I'm not going to kill you." Xu Huaiqing didn't take action this time to clean up the battlefield, letting others bring him things, of course, these customers had more than just wallets on them, self-defense handguns and folding knives also became his weapons.

  When the fireproof door in front of the nightclub came down, the staff were a bit curious. At this time, a fashionable girl was in the lobby, where there were reception desk staff, security guards on duty, and some customers waiting for friends. She saw the rolling shutter come down and knew that this place was completely isolated from the outside. The security guard was still using the intercom and internal phone to inquire about the duty room. The girl looked at her mobile phone and found no signal, so she knew someone had started working. She was also waiting for this person, and unexpectedly met him in this place. Since you want to get rich, I'll follow suit. You can't search every corpse on the ground, there's too much stuff that can't be taken away.

  The girl pulled out two Glock 17 pistols from her backpack, with thirty-round magazines that were longer than the gun handles. Silencers had already been installed on the muzzles. She was well-prepared when she came here. The intercoms and internal telephones were no longer usable. The girl raised her guns and fired at the armed security guards.
