Chapter 671
Long before Ning Chen rebelled, Ga Da had already used the unique communication device in his office to contact someone of equal status.
Those who reach their position are rarely good people; they all know they must maintain close contact and preferably lend a hand whenever possible to stay firmly in place.
Ga Da wanted to live, so when he saw the gun, his pupils contracted; he did not instinctively raise his hands, but he made a gesture of surrender: "I'll talk... I'll talk, alright?"
Ning Chen stared at Ga Da: "Speak quickly!"
Ga Da took a deep breath and finally said slowly: "You know that the one thing this place lacks least is people and those mental workers. The young genius you mentioned is clearly not popular here; if he walks down the street, he could be shot dead one day without anyone knowing who did it."
Although this metaphor was not very appropriate, Ning Chen at least understood from his rather inappropriate metaphor what Ga Da wanted to convey to him.
"And then?" Ning Chen still had no patience.
Ga Da said: "Don't rush... that genius's disappearance really has nothing to do with us. If I remember correctly, he should have been taken away by someone from a certain group, but I'm not quite sure which group, after all, even these things I heard about."
Ga Da said a lot, and it seemed his report was not entirely accurate; hearing this, Ning Chen could no longer hold back his anger. He was originally not an easy person to anger: "Get to the point, I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore."
"The point is, I'm not sure what I say is definitely right; it's very possible that you and I are talking about different people?" Ga Da said.
Ning Chen of course knew this was possible, but the possibility was too small; both being a young genius who fled from Huaguo and a scientist engaged in scientific research, the overlap rate of these two things, unless they were talking about the same person, was lower than the probability of Ning Chen going out and randomly buying a lottery ticket and winning twenty million.
Ga Da looked at Ning Chen's expression, feeling he could extract something from him: "Is that person your brother, or a relative?"
Ning Chen irritably pinched the bridge of his nose; he originally did not want to answer, but thinking of the series of troubles to come, he felt somewhat annoyed, so he said: "A friend."
"A friend?" Ga Da repeated, looking at Ning Chen, his corner of the mouth suddenly curling up as he smiled: "How about I give you a hint, and you let me go, what do you say?"
Ning Chen suddenly turned his head, meeting Ga Da's gaze again, as if finding it somewhat amusing: "Do you think you still have the qualification to negotiate with me now?"
As he spoke, he casually played with the gun in his hand; the lethality of that gun was great for Ga Da. Ga Da looked at the gun and said nothing, falling silent.
Ning Chen said: "Speak."
Ga Da bit his back molars and said resentfully: "Alright, alright... I advise you not to go rescue your friend. He was taken away by a group you can't mess with; if he was willing to cooperate, he should be treated well and fed well right now. However, he suffered a lot before this; you might as well not ruin their good deed."
Hearing the "good deed" in his words, Ning Chen sneered: "I don't think staying in Cangbei is a good thing for him."
Ga Da choked, then let out a dry laugh: "Is that so... well, staying here also means earning money."
Ning Chen looked down at him and said from above: "Tell me, which group took him away, and where is their location?"
"No way?" Ga Da's expression was somewhat strange: "You alone want to confront that group?"
Ning Chen said nothing.
Ga Da knew his life was in Ning Chen's hands; even if he resisted, he couldn't help it, since someone would come to rescue him soon, so he said: "Bugu Group, you should have heard of it."
Hearing this, something flashed through Ning Chen's mind.
He had indeed heard of this group, and its name was not small; after all, the group was thriving in its industry; although it was a company listed only five years ago, it could now surpass a large number of companies in the same industry.
So this group came from Cangbei.
Ning Chen fiddled with the gun in his hand, thinking as he asked: "Location."
Ga Da stared at the gun with some alarm, truly afraid of an accidental discharge: "... in our capital here."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Ning Chen bent down and pulled Ga Da up from the ground; Ning Chen felt he could keep Ga Da, since he posed no threat to him anyway.
Ga Da swallowed hard, feeling nervous; seeing that Ning Chen only lifted him from the ground, his expression was even somewhat incredulous.
Calculating the time, the group Ga Da had called to rescue him should be arriving soon.
Ga Da looked at Ning Chen's back and sneered in his heart.
Such a Mao Touxiaozi, wanting to confront that kind of group; truly, he didn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth.
Ning Chen was leaning on the second-floor railing; Ga Da's hands were still bound by him, so Ning Chen had no need to worry about Ga Da striking him from behind.
545. Cleaning the factory, finishing work
While Ning Chen was thinking about how to reach the Cangbei capital as quickly as possible, Yu Guang suddenly caught sight of something.
A Ding Xiangdong came from the factory entrance; judging by the sound, someone was heading towards the factory.
At this time, all the workers in the factory had already left; there shouldn't be anyone blind enough to come back.
Ning Chen tightened his grip on the gun in his hand and slowly stepped back a few paces.
Ning Chen's hearing was sharp; he could tell there were not few people at the entrance, like a group coming together, so he dragged Ga Da while slowly walking down the stairs.
Looking from the factory entrance, the second-floor steps were exactly a visual blind spot; people entering from outside couldn't see the situation on the second-floor steps at first glance, making it most suitable for hiding.
Ga Da was pulled by Ning Chen and felt somewhat displeased in his heart; when contacting the outside world, he had specifically asked them to bring more people; Ga Da saw through Ning Chen's intention and prepared to make some Ding Xiangdong later to let those people know.
Ning Chen's gaze locked on the factory entrance, his finger on the trigger, ready to press it at any moment.
The next second, about a dozen people in uniform black clothes appeared at the factory entrance.
They were all tall and strong, looking like no good people; after arriving at the factory entrance, these people were also very alert, scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.
Ning Chen looked down at Ga Da for a moment and instantly realized.
Ga Da suddenly felt something pressed against his head; this familiar chill made his heart jump suddenly; when he猛地 raised his head, he met Ning Chen's cold gaze.
Ning Chen lowered his voice: "Try making a sound." Ga Da's fear of the gun was no lower than anyone else's; he knew that in this situation, if Ning Chen wanted to avoid trouble, he could simply choose to blow his head off with one shot. To stay alive, Ga Da could only nod stiffly.
Ning Chen sneered; at this moment he had figured it out: these people must have come to rescue Ga Da. He should have thought earlier that Ga Da held a high position, had many people who shared his臭味, and they all huddled together for warmth; if something happened to Ga Da, those so-called brothers of his should have been ready to stab themselves in both sides of the ribs. Ning Chen originally planned to reach the Cangbei capital as soon as possible after obtaining clues, but he didn't expect this extra complication; unless these people were not difficult, it would still take a lot of time, and Ning Chen felt somewhat annoyed in his heart.
Controlled by Ning Chen, Ga Da dared not make a sound; he widened his eyes, watching those people slowly walking into the factory entrance, constantly calling out in his heart for them to turn their heads and look in his direction.
But unfortunately, the place Ning Chen chose was a perfect visual blind spot area; those people would be unable to discover this place in a short time, nor would they choose to investigate the corner of the second-floor steps immediately.
Ning Chen looked down at the dozen or so people below; actually, he could already see that these were all well-trained people; having fought many times with the Haiwan family and mercenary groups, Ning Chen could identify these people's profession at a glance.
Ning Chen rubbed the corner of his clothes with his finger; at this moment, he somewhat wanted to use his skill.
Since arriving in Cangbei, Ning Chen had never had the opportunity to use his skill.
Even when he first arrived at the factory, facing those who held real power inside, because he couldn't harm the innocent, he could only fight those people with real guns and bullets.
Although using guns, it was not as convenient as using skills.
But now, Ning Chen no longer needed to worry about anything; the Ga Da left behind posed no threat at this moment; now he only needed to focus on those who came to rescue Ga Da.
Ning Chen turned around, frowned, and told Ga Da to stay further away; hearing this, Ga Da was somewhat confused, but staying away from Ning Chen was definitely no problem; although Ga Da's hands were bound, he could still lean against the wall and slowly move to sit.
Only when he reached the corner did Ga Da dare to stop.
Ning Chen knew Gada was a coward who feared death, which he found convenient; at this moment, even the most dull-witted people below had turned their gaze to the visual blind spot at the second-floor corner, and naturally spotted Ning Chen, who was pressed against the wall in the shadows.
The moment they discovered Ning Chen, that person shouted loudly, "Someone on the second floor!!"
Everyone reacted at once, raising their heads and aiming their guns toward the second-floor corner.
Ning Chen's entire body was buried in the shadows; he turned his head to confirm Gada's position was safe, then suddenly whirled around. With the second floor offering a clear view, he took in all the situation below.
The next second, Ning Chen jogged a short distance, stepped onto the second-floor railing, and with lightning speed, stepped up onto the railing and leaped straight down.
His movement was light, his landing steady, making no sound at all; the entire sequence took only a few short seconds, and the others present had not even reacted yet.
But Ning Chen gave them no time to react; the moment he landed, he unleashed a skill.
Ning Chen did not intend to leave these people any chance to live; they were no different from Gada, all of the same ilk. Keeping Gada alive was useful, but those others had no reason to exist at all.
So Ning Chen decisively chose the "Density Control" skill.
The instant the skill was used, those people suddenly felt an invisible giant hand seize their necks; their hands, which had been gripping guns, now lost all strength and dropped uncontrollably. A strange sensation of suffocation surged up, preventing them from speaking even for that brief period.
At this moment, aside from Ning Chen, everyone else's faces rapidly turned pale. Ning Chen had chosen the "Density Control" skill because he knew it could defeat the enemy in the shortest time.
He watched expressionlessly as those people's expressions gradually turned from life to something worse than death, timing it carefully.
Clearly, the people here could endure far less time than the Gulf Family members had back then. Ning Chen vaguely remembered that when he first used this skill, the people from the Gulf Family could not cope, resulting in widespread suffocation and an easy victory.
The current situation was exactly the same as back then; now, Ning Chen could even control the range and duration of the skill's use, which was absolutely a major improvement compared to when he had just mastered it.
Those people lasted even less time than Ning Chen had imagined; in about two minutes, there were no survivors left.
Ning Chen clapped his hands in satisfaction. More than a dozen corpses with hideous death expressions lay scattered across the ground, but Ning Chen did not need to clean them up personally; after all, this factory would soon become an abandoned, unattended ruin anyway.
With the people dealt with, Ning Chen slowly raised his head again and looked toward the second floor.
He discovered that Gada, who was hiding there, had his head bowed so low his face was barely visible. Ning Chen frowned; he had not intended to care about Gada's current state.
546. On the road, arriving at the capital.
But remembering his mission, Ning Chen had no choice but to attend to Gada on the second floor.
Impatience filled Ning Chen's heart; frowning, he walked up and looked down at Gada, whose face was turned toward the crack in the wall.
"Hey," Ning Chen sneered, "what, only now starting to feel afraid?"
Hearing Ning Chen's words, Gada felt dissatisfied and angry, yet he knew well that he could not provoke Ning Chen. Everything that had just happened was still vivid in his mind; if he confronted the other man head-on, only he himself would end up dead.
Gada was lifted off the ground by his collar by Ning Chen. Ning Chen gave him no respect at all; the action was like picking up a dog.
Gada straightened his body, his eyes even daring not to look directly at Ning Chen: "What exactly did you just do? Why did all those people die in an instant?"
As Ning Chen slowly descended the stairs, he reminded the talkative Gada behind him, "That is not a question for you to consider. Better think hard about how to survive."
Gada was stung by these words, but he could understand that Ning Chen was not lying. Pain suddenly struck his chest, yet he unwillingly repeated, "What kind of evil trickery did you just use? Are all of you Chinese people like this?"
The car arranged by the system was now parked at the factory entrance. Hearing Gada ask this, Ning Chen had not intended to answer, but after thinking it over, he finally said, "The second half of that statement is wrong."
