Damon nodded quickly. "It's hard to explain now. Why don't we talk at our place?"
Luke thought for a moment, but still shook his head. "It's a little hurtful, but I still have to remind you not to reveal your real address to anyone else, not even me."
Mindy snorted unhappily. "You're such a jerk!"
Damon was also a little embarrassed, but he still said, "We trust you."
Luke sighed. "If I were you, I'd better just trust each other. What you're doing is too dangerous, and it's not safe to give other people too much trust. "
Seeing that the father and daughter were silent for a moment, Luke pondered for a moment, before he nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll take a look at your place this time."
Mindy snorted again and turned around to leave.
Damon didn't know what to say. He could only ask Luke to follow him, and they got into the car outside the garbage disposal site.
After leaving the garbage disposal site, the car drove southwest to the area where Luke had called earlier, and stopped in front of an old single-family house.
With a remote control, the garage door opened, and the two cars drove in before closing again.
Luke got out of the car and followed Damon and Mindy to the living room.
In the living room, Damon went to a corner and keyed in a password. The wine cabinet there slid open to reveal a secret room inside.
Damon and Mindy walked in and started to take off their equipment.
Damon asked casually, "What do you want to drink? There's beer and juice in the fridge. "
Luke said, "No need." He then walked to a few windows and looked out.
After a quick look, he shook his head inwardly.
The only reason Damon and Mindy had chosen this place was probably because of the traffic.
It took less than five minutes to drive to the Lincoln Tunnel. On a good day, Luke could see the area from his five-story building.
Beyond the Lincoln Tunnel was the Clinton area of Manhattan, a place with a lot of drug dealers.
Continuing to the east, across the narrow island of Manhattan, was the border between Brooklyn and Queens. Heading northeast would lead to Queens, and heading southeast would lead to Brooklyn, which was also not very peaceful.
Also, Manhattan was surrounded by the Hudson and Harlem rivers, and it was easy to get to the three busiest districts in New York by water transportation.
Unfortunately, there was nothing else about this place.
The surrounding neighbors were too close, the nearest one was only 20 meters away.
There were many residents here, and it was a community with good security. Many people were familiar with each other.
Going in and out of such a place was bound to bump into acquaintances one day.
Of course, Damon and his daughter might be carrying him today. Usually, they would change their clothes outside before returning.
But overall, this place was not suitable as a base for Damon and his daughter.
Damon and his daughter unloaded their equipment very quickly.
In less than five minutes, the father and daughter came out in tights. Mindy was still wearing the special bulletproof vest that Luke had given her.
"How is this place?" Damon asked with a smile.
Luke said, "Well, I have some thoughts about your home. I'll tell you later."
Damon didn't beat around the bush. He looked at him and asked, "Let's solve your problem first. What do you want to know?"
Mindy also turned on the laptop that she had brought out of the secret chamber, ready to check the information on it at any time.
Luke asked his own questions.
There were some things that Damon and his daughter wouldn't record in their laptop.
For example, it was hard to quantify their subtle perception of the various forces, and there were no ready-made answers. Damon and his daughter had basically come up with speculations based on their own experience after hearing Luke's questions.
The three of them talked and talked for almost an hour. Damon also asked Mindy to copy a bunch of relevant files for Luke.
Luke stood up with the USB flash drive. "Sorry for bothering you today."
Damon said, "It's fine. You can come over when you're free."
"What I'm about to say next is my thanks for the information you provided." Luke raised his hand. "This place isn't suitable. You'd better find a new base for your activities."
Mindy's face fell. "You're doing it again!"
Luke looked at her and said calmly, "What you're doing is very dangerous. You can't be too careful about your own safety. There's no need to entrust your safety to other people's carelessness."
He then looked at Damon and said, "I'll give you the blueprints for this secret base, as well as a batch of professional equipment to ensure the safety of this new base."
Damon and his daughter were stunned, and Mindy subconsciously asked, "How much?"
Luke was amused. "Like I said, it's my thanks for the information. It's free."
"Really?" Mindy found it hard to believe.
"Really." Luke said, "I'm not asking you to give up on this place, but most of the things in your secret chamber can be moved to the new base."
He had seen a box of grenades in the room just now. God knew what was wrong with this father and daughter. Wouldn't they be scared to sleep on a pile of dangerous goods every day?
For example, Luke himself only had a few registered guns in the room, so he wasn't afraid of being checked.
Secondly, the firearms were enough to start a local war in this community. What was the point of them piling them up in the room?
If their enemies really came knocking, the father and daughter would at most have a couple of guns of different lengths and a dozen magazines. There was no need to store most of the firearms here.
Apart from increasing the risk of exposure and the difficulty of keeping them safe, there really wasn't much to gain.
Also, there wasn't even a shooting range here. Even if they had so many guns, they would still have to take them out for training.
If they were stopped by the police for a broken headlight, like Alex, and got out of the car in passing, how were they going to explain the guns in the car?
Many of these guns were probably recorded in NYPD's bullet magazine, and Damon had used them to kill a lot of drug dealers.
Seeing that the father and daughter were considering his suggestion seriously, Luke gave them the biggest surprise of the day. "Actually, as long as you have one thing, it won't be a problem for you to move safely in an emergency."
The father and daughter asked, "What is it?"
Luke said, "Wait here. Hm, it's you, Mindy. You're not allowed to follow me. "
Mindy's leg froze in midair. Looking at Luke, who was turning around to leave, she murmured, "How did he know I wanted to follow him?"
Damon said, "… Maybe it's because it's unusual if you don't follow him."
Mindy: "…"
Luke returned with a large and a small flat black box in his hands.
Walking to the dining table, he opened the small box, and a set of black armor lay inside.
He picked it up and waved for Mindy to come over.
When Mindy stood in front of him, he raised his hand and draped the armor over her.
Mindy hurriedly shouted, "Wait, I'm still wearing … a jacket?"
