Chapter 186: The usual way of borrowing a car
Li Qing was the last one to jump out of the plane.
Unlike his companions, he stayed in the driving seat until the last moment and had no time to put on his escape parachute.
Of course, he didn't need a parachute.
Li Qing jumped down from a height of hundreds of meters without any protection, and fell to the ground like a meteor with flames bursting out behind him.
This is an extremely dangerous action - dropping objects from high altitudes is a very uncivilized behavior and can easily hit the flowers and plants on the ground, as well as some unlucky passers-by.
Fortunately, Li Qing landed in an empty construction site this time.
And now it is evening.
Workers in developed countries believe in the life creed of leaving get off work on time, and will never work a minute longer than usual once the time is up.
The lights on the construction site were not turned off out of spite, the steel bars on the tower crane were still hanging in the air, and the drivers and workers had already run away early.
Therefore, Li Qing's simple and rough landing method did not hurt any innocent citizens, but only created a deep human-shaped pit on the ground.
He stood up from the big hole he had created with a somersault, his expression slightly solemn:
"Damn it, the situation is really bad now."
"We don't know how far Diablo is from the Colosseum now, and whether we can catch up with him in time."
Of course, Li Qing could not have imagined that the Diablo, who he was worried about for running away first, was now entangled with the police for speeding and running a red light.
In his mind, Diablo must be moving towards the finish line unhindered.
But he lost the carefully prepared means of transportation and was forced to separate from his companions in this dangerous night:
There was no other way. The others did not have Li Qing's ability to fall freely without injury. They could only float in the wind with parachutes, and they had no idea where they were now.
"Oh, and Thomas..."
"He might be able to help."
Li Qing suddenly thought that he should call Thomas, who was in charge of logistics intelligence in the rear.
If the information had not been leaked from Thomas, and Thomas was still one of us, then he might be able to help a lot:
For example, retrieve road surveillance to find out the location of lost companions.
For example, use anti-intrusion means to directly contact the mysterious person and remind him to leave the Colosseum as soon as possible.
However, just as Li Qing had this thought, his cell phone rang.
The call was from Thomas, the man he was looking for:
"Hey, Boss? Something terrible has happened!"
"You don't need to remind me..."
"I was just hit by a missile at an altitude of 400 meters."
Li Qing patted the dirt off his body, his voice sounding somewhat helpless.
"No, I'm not talking about your side."
"It's the technology team. Something happened to the technology team..."
Thomas' tone was no more relaxed than Li Qing's, who had just experienced a plane crash:
"It seems that the supervisor did something to our technology team's server before his death."
"Just two minutes ago, a virus broke out and all the network equipment of the technology team was paralyzed."
"I can't even access the Internet right now, I can only call you on my mobile phone..."
"The network is down? That means..." Hearing this report, Li Qing's face became even uglier: "You can't do anything now?"
"Yes..."
"It will probably take quite a while to get these devices back to work."
"During this time, I can't provide you with surveillance information in the city, I can't help you mobilize the organization's resources, and I can't help you contact that mysterious person."
"I'm sorry... you only have yourselves to rely on now."
After telling Li Qing the bad news, Thomas, who felt helpless about the current situation, hung up the phone.
"The only one you can rely on is yourself..."
Li Qing recited this sentence helplessly.
Just when they needed technical support, Thomas also had problems... It all happened so coincidentally.
Obviously, this was a pre-planned part of Diablo's plan.
The purpose was to eliminate the possibility of him contacting the mysterious man on his own initiative, thus ensuring that he could reach the Colosseum before everyone else and find the mysterious man holding the treasure.
"There's nothing I can do..."
Thinking of this, Li Qing even gave up the idea of contacting his companions first.
What Bucciarati said on the plane was true. Now time is life, and every minute and every second is precious.
Diablo had already run away for so long, if he wasted any more time meeting up with his companions, he would probably never have a chance to win this race.
"Let's go first!"
"At least we need to find a means of transportation first, and then try to contact other people once we are in the car."
Li Qing put away his phone and prepared to leave the construction site.
This is not a remote suburb. There is a busy road outside the construction site, and there is a constant flow of traffic even at night.
With so many cars passing by the door, it .
He stood directly on the roadside with his hand outstretched, trying to trick some hapless taxi driver into stopping.
However, before the taxi arrived, a private car slowly stopped in front of Li Qing:
"Want a ride?"
The car window rolled down, revealing a smiling face.
The face looked a little green and immature, making the car owner look like a progressive young man who is eager to help others.
"want--"
"Thank you for coming, it's very timely."
Li Qing took out his pistol and pointed the black muzzle at the young man's warm and kind face.
"Well, let me ask you a question..."
"Do you want to die?"
He spoke so "friendly" to the young man.
The young man's expression changed instantly.
His smile froze at the corners of his mouth in an instant, and his facial muscles became stiff. He looked as nervous as any ordinary citizen who was suddenly pointed at with a gun.
However, in the next second, his pair of clear and harmless eyes suddenly surged with a strong murderous intent, and the horror that instinctively appeared on his face turned into a calm scene:
"As expected, he is the man targeted by the boss."
"Just a simple glance like this can reveal my true identity."
The young man raised his head fearlessly and looked straight at Li Qing:
"Let's get to know each other."
"I am Sandro Doni, a member of the Guards."
"I was the one who blew up your helicopter. The boss has ordered that you must die tonight."
The muzzle of Li Qing's gun pointed tightly at his head did not make him feel afraid. Instead, a hint of appreciation and a hint of meaning appeared in his eyes:
"Your reaction was quick, and you drew your gun very quickly."
"Unfortunately, it's too late for me."
"Um... this..."
Seeing the sudden change in the young man's temperament, Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little awkward:
"Actually , I..."
"I usually like to pay with a gun. That was just my usual way of borrowing a car..."
"I haven't figured out anything yet, but you revealed your identity yourself."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
The young man who called himself Sandro's lips trembled slightly, and the mysterious posture he had just put on collapsed in an instant.
Li Qing pointed the gun further at Sandro's head, and quickly pressed the trigger tightly with his loosened fingers:
"However, since you took the initiative to introduce yourself, it saves me a lot of trouble."
"At least I don't have to act like a bad guy and say harsh words, and I don't have to waste time and energy scaring the car owner away..."
Li Qing shrugged, and then pressed down the trigger with his finger on it:
"Just kill the man and the car will be mine."
