Chapter 2: Escort
“Ding! System mission is completed!”
Host: Reidon
Research Objective: Antimatter Theory (Progress 100%)
MISSION REWARD: 30,000 USD!
The next stage of the technology tree was unlocked. Host, please choose:
[ Fission Reaction ][ Fusion Reaction ][ Cold Fusion Reaction ]
Research points of these technologies were all different. The fusion reaction had the least points and the cold nuclear fusion reaction had the most points.
Reidon thought to himself, “Since there is a reward for completing a technology, why don’t I choose the simplest one first? Then I can get the reward faster.”
Before the completion of the technology, Reidon did not know that there was a reward for completion. He had no motivation to research previously.
After getting 30,000 dollars, Reidon instantly had motivation.
“Ding! 30,000 dollars was transferred to bank card! Host will receive the bank card within 12 hours. Please pay attention to your email.”
Reidon did not expect the system would send him a new credit card directly.
However, he quickly understood that if a huge amount of money was transferred into his account, it would obviously be very suspicious.
It would definitely cause an inquiry from the tax office. If he could not report the source of the money, he would become a suspect and be arrested.
He was confident that the money would be enough to get him out of this annoying apartment.
He didn’t want to be woken by that obnoxious voice every night.
After finishing his research, Reidon felt thirsty.
He looked around the room. There was no water.
He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep. He wanted to go downstairs and buy some beer to celebrate.
After tidying up the house, he threw the trash on the table into the trashcan.
Then he left the apartment to buy beer.
Reidon also noticed that the noise in the next room had stopped. It was probably because they were all asleep.
He ignored them and took the elevator down to the nearest convenience store. He bought some beer with a good flavor.
He threw the trash bag into the bin and went upstairs with his six bottles of beer.
But Reidon didn’t know that at the moment when he got in the elevator, countless people in black clothes and with night vision device came out of the bushes around him.
They turned the trashcan upside down as fast as they could and sorted through the Reidon’s trash.
Food wrappers were left completely on the side, while the scrap paper was the most important, filled with countless formulas.
Someone came over with a black password box, put all the scribbles in, and locked the box.
The box suddenly became as vital as the one that contains a nuclear launch button.
A group of agents with guns surrounded the box as if they were protecting the president. At two o’clock in the morning, they carefully observed the situation around them until they brought the password box into a bulletproof car.
Under the dim street lights, there were armed soldiers standing with guns. They looked solemnly at the bulletproof car as it slowly moved forward.
The soldiers did not know what was inside the bulletproof car. Most of them thought that it was probably a top-level government official’s secrets.
But the protection was so strict. It must be… the President!
Some people thought to themselves, “The president was meeting with some important people here at night?”
That was the only reason for the level of protection.
Not only that, when the bulletproof car drove out of the path, the armored vehicles that were already put on standby surrounded it.
After being driven far away from the apartment, the bulletproof car was also surrounded by countless police cars setting off alarms to clear the way.
The scene was extremely spectacular. The entire highway was occupied.
Some of the drivers that passed by in the early morning saw this scene and were all shocked with their wide-open mouths. Some people wanted to take some photos.
But the man who was filming the video was discovered quickly. The police immediately surrounded him, snatched the man’s phone and deleted the video without any explanation.
“Sorry sir, it’s forbidden. Please leave.”
The other policemen took out their pistols and aimed at the driver who was filming.
The driver was so scared that his face was ashen. He did not dare to speak. He could only nod and step on the gas to leave quickly .
The police watched all the cars leave and then they got into the cars to continue protecting the bulletproof cars.
When some gang members saw this scene, they were scared out of their wits. They hid in the alley and did not dare to make a sound. They peeked to see where these police cars were going.
However, those gangsters did not dare to follow them. That would court disaster.
There were so many tanks and policemen.
They thought there must be a gang that angered the police who even drove out the armored vehicles to arrest them.
The gang leaders also heard the news and hurriedly contacted each other through videos. They wanted to figure out what the police wanted to do and whether they wanted to target a gang.
“There are at least 200 police officers deployed at the same time. Four armored vehicles are on the ground, helicopters are scouting in the sky, and there are snipers all the way. And this is at 2:30 in the morning. I’m afraid that even if the president is out on patrol, he may not have such an array.”
“Is there any news from the inside?”
“No, the level of secrecy is quite high. Our highest-level insider doesn’t know what’s happening either.”
“How? No news at all?”
“Yes, there’s no news at all. But we can be sure that the police are about to make a big move. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come out in full force like this.”
“Then should we continue with our recent transaction?”
“We have to stop or postpone it.”
“We will lose at least hundreds of billions of dollars!”
“If you want to die, I won’t accompany you.”
A gang leader who was attending the meeting hung up the video call. The others looked at each other and understood the seriousness of the matter.
“I’m going to Mexico for a vacation.”
“Ah, what a coincidence. Me too.”
“Let’s go together.”
A group of gang leaders started talking about a vacation. As they laughed and joked, they thought that they were really going on a vacation. In fact, they all knew very well that they had to temporarily leave this city to stay away from trouble, which often happened to them.
However, they left faster. As soon as they said they were going to Mexico, the planes in the private airports started to move. Some people walked towards the skyscrapers, boarded the helicopters, and fled the city.
The departure of the gang leaders had calmed the gangs down a lot. They did not dare to cause trouble rashly.
Reidon did not know any of this as he slept soundly, dreaming of moving out tomorrow.
