After coming down from the train, Kieran carefully hid in the shadows. He signaled Lawless, who was also in hiding, before heading towards Reederlai Bridge.
Reederlai Bridge was one of the many bridges in the big city.
It was around 300 meters long and had six lanes. It was incomparable to the thousands or even thousands of meters long bridges in Kieran's memory.
In the big city, there was nothing special about Reederlai Bridge.
Even though it was connected to the outer city area.
The outer city area was a common name that players used for the edge of the big city. It wasn't a constant name though because the big city was growing bigger every day.
The robots were dutifully carrying out their duties, expanding in all directions with the big city as the center.
It wasn't fast.
But it wasn't slow either.
At least their efficiency was much higher than common humans.
Kieran was standing at the end of the bridge in the inner city area, looking towards the edge of the city.
It was a mass of gray mist.
Kieran couldn't see what was inside the mist with his eyesight.
All he could hear was a series of mechanical noises.
According to Lawless' description, the edge of the city was inaccessible.
Not only did it have the power to resist players, but it also had mechanical law enforcers.
Their existence wasn't just a warning.
They were merciless against some stubborn players.
Kieran didn't doubt the mechanical law enforcers since he had met them once before.
You don't have to question a set procedure.
Just like how you don't have to guess whether the sun will rise tomorrow or not.
That would never change.
Kieran retracted his gaze and looked at the monument at the end of the bridge.
It was called a monument but it was only 2 meters tall and 3 meters wide.
Most of the monument was just a pedestal and only a few words were written on it. Each word was around the size of a man's palm. One didn't need to look up or concentrate to read the words clearly.
It was written on the monument.
In the flames of war …
No!
Warriors, heroes …
…
The words weren't complete. Some parts were purposely erased. Kieran could even see the traces of sharpness left on the words.
"Was it scraped off bit by bit with a dagger?"
Kieran speculated based on the traces.
Then, a sense of curiosity rose in his heart.
The mechanical workers in the huge city would repair the damaged buildings on time, unless …
"Has this place been abandoned?"
Kieran sized up his surroundings again.
Although this place could be considered remote, it was definitely not barren. There were traces of people coming and going on the bridge, and under the bridge was the surging river. In addition, there were still buildings in the distance, so it really did not look deserted.
It was much better than Old Stray Street.
Obviously, the mechanical workers would not abandon this place.
Then …
Kieran looked at the bridge.
Allen arrived one step ahead of Kieran.
Without a doubt, the other party had erased some of the traces on the surface. Only then would the mechanical workers not have the time to repair it.
Although it wasn't the agreed time yet, Kieran didn't want others to wait for him.
His footsteps stepped between the light and shadow, quickly approaching Allen.
The leader of Blood Alliance, a player with the title of Sharpshooter, leaned against the railing and waited quietly for Kieran to approach him.
His face was obscured by the system, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
However, through his presence, Kieran could tell that Allen wasn't exactly friendly.
Then, Allen spoke, confirming Kieran's guesses.
"You are ready to go to war with Broker?
You finally couldn't stand it anymore, so … "
"You want me to stand up for you?"
Allen pressed his hat down and grunted coldly.
Standing in the shadows, Kieran didn't deny it, neither would he quibble.
Because it was the truth.
Facing the truth, Kieran chose to respect it.
Just like how he knew Allen would choose to work with him.
Hatred was enough for Allen to know what to do.
Everything was as Kieran expected.
A moment later, Allen spoke again, looking a little crazy.
"It doesn't matter!
As long as I can kill that bastard Broker, I'm willing to do anything!
But you need to show your sincerity, who knows if you will reconcile with that bastard or not! I've been tricked once, I don't want to fall for it a second time! "
Allen growled.
A man who was completely consumed by hatred.
However, he didn't completely lose his sanity.
Kieran looked at Allen and commented on him in his heart.
"What kind of sincerity?"
Kieran asked.
At the same time, he sized up the surroundings again.
"Wait a little longer!
Broker's men aren't here yet! "
Allen said.
"I knew it!"
Kieran thought in his heart.
When Allen mentioned the exact time and place, Kieran had a hunch about what he wanted to do.
The time and place were too obvious.
Plus the secluded environment and the traces around, Kieran was confident that Broker's men or someone related to Broker would pass through the area.
Allen was ready to ambush Broker after he got the news.
However, Allen knew his strength wasn't enough to complete the ambush and coincidentally, he contacted Allen.
A collaboration.
Gaining mutual trust and attacking Broker at the same time.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
However, there was one thing that Kieran had doubts in his heart.
How did Allen get the information?
Even though Kieran didn't have a deep understanding of Broker's organization, judging from Broker's way of doing things, the organization must be extremely strict.
A strict organization and the cooperation of the contract.
It wasn't easy to get information from such an organization.
Kieran believed Allen couldn't do it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been suppressed by Broker for so long.
Therefore, there was only one possibility left: using himself as bait to lure out more of Broker's men and using Kieran's hand to eliminate them.
Kieran wasn't angry about it.
Since both of them chose to work together, they would have to pay a price.
However, there was one thing that he had to be vigilant about.
"Will Broker notice something?"
Kieran wouldn't underestimate this enemy.
Even if he was fully prepared for it.
Seconds turned into minutes.
Around 20 minutes later, a convoy appeared at the outskirts of the city.
It was formed by four heavy trucks and an armored military vehicle.
The heavy trucks were covered with a thick rain tarp, blocking all prying eyes.
The armored vehicle was equipped with a heavy machine gun and a player was controlling it. The player noticed Allen standing in the middle of the bridge right away.
Then, the player pulled the trigger without a second thought.
Dak Dak Dak Dak!
The bullets formed a net of fire and instantly shrouded Allen's position.
However, all Allen did was roll and he completely dodged the attack. He raised his hand and the revolver appeared in his hand.
Bang!
A gunshot was fired and the player was killed.
The player controlling the heavy machine gun had his head blown off just like that.
Not only that, the bullet was obviously specially made. After it penetrated the player's head, it continued to shoot and was about to plunge into the heavy truck behind.
Then …
Just like that, the bullet froze in mid-air.
Groups of men came out from under the heavy rain tarp and quickly surrounded Allen.
It was a trap!
A trap specifically targeted at Allen!
However, Allen, who was watching this scene, smiled.
