Chapter 1052: The Car

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Heng had his eyes on the two recruits who had recently joined the police force. As they had only been on the force for a week or so, most of the people in the station were unfamiliar with them. They were supposed to be partners with two old police officers to familiarize themselves with their work but were caught up in the riot on the first floor. Their partners were among the first batch of officers to arrive on the first floor; thus, the two of them had no choice but to take over the patrol work early.

Through this, they would spend less time at the station during the day, and fewer people would be familiar with their faces.

​ 

This time, Zhang Heng was planning to borrow their names. Of course, he wasn’t going to use their names directly. After all, no matter how new they were, they wouldn’t be able to change their faces without being discovered. Zhang Heng planned to secretly change the names of the two people on the list before they left before using two new identities to replace them. With their presence in the police station, they should be the least likely to be discovered.

However, the first thing he had to do was to let the main character stay at home. Zhang Heng and Qiu Ming drove to visit the two rookie police officers one after another. Qiu Ming was responsible for knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell. He greeted the female relative of the target politely before the mark left the house in a rage. When the target was about to hit someone, Zhang Heng, who was waiting at the side, would hit the back of the target’s head.

Qiu Ming stood in front of the target and admired the way he fell to the ground.

Zhang Heng had controlled his strength. He didn’t hit the target hard, but he promised that the target would be unconscious for at least half a day. Then, the two of them took off the target’s clothes and changed into them. Half an hour later, they had put on their police uniforms and guns, turning into two second-floor policemen.

At least on the surface, there were not many flaws.

However, the real test was still to come. The police station requested that the third group of people on the list gather in front of the central station before 4:20 PM.

Zhang Heng and Qiu Ming deliberately set the time to 4:15 pm before they drove to the station. By then, the 50 policemen on the list had basically all arrived, leaving only three people who had not arrived.

Zhang Heng parked the car and walked over with Qiu Ming. The sergeant in charge of leading the team frowned when he saw the two of them. He didn’t think too highly of the two police officers in front of him, but they didn’t look guilty at all. On the contrary, it was as if they were really the people who had come to gather.

This was especially when they were three steps away from him. Qiu Ming remained standing at attention and saluted him. The sergeant had no choice but to return the salute. He then asked, “What are you here for?”

“We’ve been notified to help the officers on the first floor.”

“You’ve been notified?” the sergeant leading the team asked suspiciously. “But I didn’t see your names on the list. Are you two from our station?”

“Of course. I’m Luo Hao, and he’s Sun Chen. We’re newcomers and have just arrived,” Zhang Heng said as he showed his fake police ID.

The sergeant in charge opened the name list and found the two names. However, this was not his first time looking at the name list. He had not noticed the presence of these two names before, of course, but as the sergeant, he was also quite busy. There were more than 1,000 police officers on the second floor, so it was impossible for him to know everyone, especially the recruits. Zhang Heng’s explanation made sense, of course. In the end, what convinced him was the attitude and temperament of the two.

There was no need to mention Zhang Heng. After going through so many dungeons, he had long developed a strong nerve that would not change his expression even before Mount Tai collapsed. Coupled with his Lv2 makeup skills, and even if the person being replaced stood by his side, Zhang Heng was more like a police officer by his appearance and temperament alone. On the other hand, as a professional liar, Qiu Ming’s acting talents shouldn’t be discounted. He could convincingly turn into whatever character he wanted.

Therefore, even with the police chief’s keen observation, he failed to find any flaws in the two.

In the end, the police chief chose to trust his intuition, which he had trained for many years. He nodded at the two and said, “Return to the team.”

Therefore, Zhang Heng and Qiu Ming successfully blended into the police officers heading to the first floor. The two of them stood at the end of the line quietly. At this time, the police chief also received a phone call saying that the last person had a bad stomach because he had eaten something wrong and was currently on a drip at the hospital. After hanging up the phone, the police chief looked at the time and decided not to wait any longer. He waved his hand and led the group of police officers into the station.

The central shuttle station had arranged a special waiting hall in advance for the police officers heading to the first floor. After everyone entered, they found their seats and sat down.

The police chief leading the group used the last seconds to mobilize a pre-war sortie. He described the rioters on the first floor as a band of cold-blooded, cruel, armed thugs. He then introduced their organizer and leader, Mr. G, and finally announced the goal of this operation—to eliminate the leader of the rioters—Mr. G!

After he finished speaking, the waiting hall fell into silence.

Although Mr. G’s story was mainly heard around the first floor, it was impossible for the police officers on the second floor not to hear of the former’s name. They knew that he was an absolutely ruthless character because of the blockade order, and most of the media did not know the current situation on the first floor. However, the police station had already deployed more than half of their police force to the first floor. In the end, in less than two days, they had to send people down again. Clearly, the battle situation was not very good.

Their team clearly did not have as many people as the first two batches. Even if they added in the other floors, it was estimated that they would have at most 200 people. It was extremely difficult to take down the commander on the opposite side directly.

The captain of the team swept his gaze around and took in the expressions of the police officers. Then, he spoke again, “You don’t have to worry. We are not the main attackers this time. We only need to be in charge of some peripheral surveillance and reconnaissance missions. I only have one request, and that is to make sure that everyone is worthy of the badge on their chests.”

After saying that, the sheriff sat down and fastened his seatbelt. Coincidentally, the central shuttle that everyone had been waiting for for a long time had also arrived at the station. The robotic arm skillfully loaded the waiting carriage onto the shuttle. Then, it did not stop and drove all the way to the first floor.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little tense. The main reason was that the police on the second floor usually focused on maintaining law and order. The criminals they were dealing with were at most a few dozen people, and they had never faced more than this number of enemies. According to some news leaked by the media, the number of criminals had probably reached tens of thousands. Therefore, when they reached the first floor, they would most likely face a war. The police officers were a little uncertain.

No one spoke up until they got off the carriage. However, the crowd then noticed the other five carriages that had been dismantled from behind them.

There were five floors in New Shanghai 0297. Police officers were sent to every floor except the first floor, but there were only four cars in total, so the remaining two vehicles should have something else in them.
