The explosion that came from the parking lot's second floor was so loud that even the pedestrians on the nearby streets could hear it.
After Zhang Heng finished shooting, he immediately ducked to the ground. Even so, the shockwave from the explosion still pressed him to the ground. At the same time, the Dacia Sandro beside him was pushed more than ten centimeters away.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Zhang Heng quickly put an arm in front of his head to block the impact.
Even so, he was still hit hard. Fortunately, the Dacia Sandro managed to block the flying stones.
The rear window of the car was shattered, and now, the remaining windows were also smashed. Broken glass drenched Zhang Heng, and at the same time, thick smoke and dust filled the air.
Zhang Heng experienced a brief tinnitus, and his mind went blank. After about twenty seconds, he gradually regained his hearing, got up from the ground, and patted the gravel off his body.
A large hole appeared where the rocket launcher hit, revealing the steel bars inside. A Porsche was stuck at the edge of the hole, with half of its wheel dangling outside.
The place where the woman in red stood was now covered by a pile of cement and stones. Unless a miracle happened, the person underneath would not have survived.
However, Zhang Heng didn't know if it was because the woman died in a collapse at the top floor instead of being killed by Zhang Heng himself like in the Apollo quest. Hence, he didn't get any kill points.
Zhang Heng picked up the Paris Arrow about ten meters away from the rubble. To be cautious, he walked to the ruins to confirm that the woman in red was dead. However, he only saw a few pieces of red cloth, and the things underneath were buried under the stone slabs. Zhang Heng saw something else between the gaps of two cement slabs.
When Zhang Heng grabbed the handle of the katana, he heard a system notification.
[Game Item Discovered – Samurai Katana (Unidentified, Broken)]
Zhang Heng pulled the katana out without much effort. Unfortunately, like its previous owner, it failed to escape the explosion. The katana broke apart, and the lower part disappeared.
However, this katana was indeed special. When Zhang Heng held it, he felt a trace of sorrow. It was as if the katana could feel his current state and mourn for its fate.
This was the first time Zhang Heng had encountered a game item in its incomplete state. He didn't know how effective the item could be in its current state, and whether it could be repaired. If he had enough time, he really wanted to find the remaining fragments.
Six minutes had passed since his fight with the woman in red. To be honest, he was a little surprised that Black Nest hadn't arrived yet. The explosion just now was so loud that it would probably attract the attention of the police. Not wanting to take any more risks, he picked up the overturned Dodge Tomahawk in the distance and sat on it.
Forty seconds later, Zhang Heng rode his motorcycle out of the parking lot, enjoying the thrill of riding at lightning speed. He tried to take the route with the least amount of surveillance cameras, making it difficult for 0 to locate him.
Right now, the CTOS system was launched in a hurry, and it was still a semi-finished product. The cameras that could be used were mainly from the transportation department. Zhang Heng made good use of the shopping malls and subway stations around him, and after changing his means of transportation a few times, he easily got rid of the surveillance. After that, he met up with the 01 team again on a garbage cleaning boat on the Cannon River.
"We successfully evaded 0's surveillance. There are no cameras on the river, so we are safe for the time being." Little Boy paused and looked at Zhang Heng. "What happened in that parking lot? I heard an explosion. Are you okay?"
Zhang Heng had changed his clothes twice during his escape, but there was still some dust on his hair. "I met a slightly troublesome opponent, but it wasn't too much trouble … I was worried that Black Nest would catch up with me if I got entangled. So, I had to make a little noise to get away."
"That's not a small noise … Now all the news reporters are rushing over there, and several channels are reporting about it. Some people even suspect that there was a terrorist attack," Waldo said to the computer.
Zhang Heng took a towel from Little Boy and wiped his face and hair. "Let Black Nest worry about this. They should find a way to deal with it. After all, they still want to kill Edward, and they don't want to make things worse."
"We should move Edward to a safe place as soon as possible," Ponytail said.
"Thank you, but I can't leave yet," Edward said. "I have to fulfill my promise to tell the public about Black Nest's actions." Edward said.
"But now those guys have obviously become more and more insane. They will do anything to kill you before you can say anything," Philip said worriedly.
"Or you can give the information to one of us … and we will announce it on your behalf," Ponytail said.
I have to tell them the truth face-to-face. This matter must be done by me, and only by me. This is the only way to bring the greatest credibility. Black Nest is very powerful, but they can't cut off all three channels. As long as all three channels work together, Black Nest will definitely be finished, "Edward said." That won't do. Black Nest is very powerful, but they can't cut off all three channels. As long as all three channels work together, Black Nest will definitely be finished. "
"When?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Their team will come to Toulouse in two days."
"Black Nest has hacked into your mailbox, so they probably already know about this meeting."
"No, I use encrypted email, and I destroy it every time I read it. Even if they crack my original mailbox, they won't know who I'm contacting."
"Even so, it's still too dangerous," Ponytail shook his head. "How long will it take to complete the interview?"
"I have a lot of things on hand, especially for outsiders who are not in our field. I'll have to spend some time to explain them clearly, so my initial estimate is that I'll need about three days, or two and a half days if I'm fast."
"Do you know that long enough for Black Nest to kill you a hundred times over?" Waldo asked.
"Yes, so I may need some help." Edward looked at everyone, "I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me. Really, I've known you for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to meet you. I hope we can have a better occasion to meet for the first time, but I can only accept it. Maybe when everything is over, we can get to know each other again in a cafe. But for now, we have to finish what we haven't finished yet."
