Chapter 61

Lost and Found

"Your Excellency the Warden, you're back."

The door to the warden's office was pushed open, and Han Che walked in slowly.

"Where's your brother?" Han Che asked, seeing that only Shi Lei was in the office.

"He went to exchange experiences with other prison guards. Should I go and call him back?"

"No need," Han Che said, walking back to his desk and sitting down.

"Shi Lei, I couldn't save Da Zhuang."

Han Che's voice was calm and devoid of any emotion, but to Shi Lei, it carried the warden's self-reproach.

"Your Excellency Warden, we are not afraid to die," Shi Lei replied. "Da Zhuang did his best in that battle..."

"No," Han Che interrupted Shi Lei, "I want those people to stay in prison forever."

Shi Lei sensed the murderous aura emanating from the warden and swallowed hard.

"Notify all prison guards that Tidal Prison will reopen tomorrow."

Shi Lei was taken aback. The prison had just opened today, and it was opening again tomorrow?

"Also, tell Shi Ding that I'm going out today and will be back later."

Shi Lei didn't dare to ask any more questions, immediately nodded in agreement, and then prepared to leave the office.

"Oh, right," Han Che called out to Shi Lei.

"What is it, Warden?" Shi Lei paused, stopped, and looked at Han Che.

"Give this to Shi Ding and ask him if he knows what it is, or if he knows anyone who does."

Han Che placed a small silver metal cube on the table.

Shi Lei approached and took the metal block in his hand. It was heavy and had a certain weight, but he couldn't tell what its purpose was.

"This was found on the ground not far from Dazhuang's body."

"Okay, I'll go ask right away." Shi Lei then left the office.

After giving his instructions, Han Che tidied up, immediately turned off the power, and headed to the player world.

……

"Boss Han! You're here?" Xiao Bai greeted him warmly as soon as he entered.

"I already told you, is the money ready? Six guns."

Xiao Bai noticed that Boss Han wasn't in a very good mood today, or rather, he seemed a little angry, so she didn't want to provoke him.

"Everything's ready, Boss Han. Let me check the goods for you?"

As usual, Han Che threw the two bags on the table, and Xiao Bai immediately took them and pulled out a total of six fully modified guns.

Arrange them neatly on the table.

I did a quick check on the appearance of each gun and the condition of its accessories.

Xiao Bai then confirmed that the quality of this batch of goods was entirely up to standard.

"Boss Han, everything's fine, so can we keep the price the same as last time?"

Han Che nodded without saying anything.

"These 6 guns cost 300 million, and these accessories cost 40."

"I still owe you 40 yuan in final payment from last time." Xiaobai did a quick calculation. "This time I'll give you 400 million yuan in total. The extra 20 yuan can be considered as interest. What do you think?"

"OK."

Han Che could tell that Xiao Bai really wanted to keep him as a customer and continue doing business with him.

"But does a small club like her really make that much money?" Han Che thought to himself. He would come to the player world when he had some free time.

Han Che couldn't help but scan the interior of Club 78.

There are just a few rooms: a reception desk, an office, a meeting room, and a storage room.

Once an order is received here, someone is sent out to process it.

The venue cost is indeed not high.

Han Che glanced around casually, intending to just take a look and leave after receiving the money.

As a result, I found a small object on the desk.

A silver metal cube!

Xiao Bai noticed that Boss Han's gaze was lingering on the desk. "What's wrong, Boss Han?"

"What's that?" Han Che asked, pointing to the metal cube.

"Oh, this," Xiaobai walked over, picked up the metal block, and handed it to Han Che.

Han Che rubbed his fingers against the metal surface a couple of times, feeling the texture; it was similar to the one he found in prison.

"This is a small prop that a friend asked me to develop; it's still a work in progress."

"What's the use?"

Seeing that Boss Han's curiosity had been piqued, Xiao Bai proudly declared, "A miniature EMP that can interfere with all sorts of electronic products!"

"However, it's just a module for now. It will have a better effect when it's installed on other items."

Han Che remembered that Xiao Bai had mentioned before that he would participate in this Tidal Prison operation.

Combined with Da Zhuang's sudden stillness and the strange behavior of the three Bald Eagle agents.

And that same little square.

Han Che finally understood; it was this thing that was interfering with the electronic signals in that area!

Xiao Bai saw Han Che staring blankly at the cube in his hand and assumed that Han Che was very interested.

"This is free for you, Boss Han!" Xiao Bai smiled brightly, revealing two tiger teeth. "Try it out for me first, and if you make a finished product later, you can support my business."

"Huh?" Han Che was still reviewing what the scene was like in the prison when he heard Xiao Bai say that he wanted to give him one.

"How do I use this?" Han Che asked, gently tossing the small cube up and letting it fall back into his palm.

"Give it a gentle twist, throw it, and it will trigger upon impact."

Han Che emerged from the 78 Club building, clutching the metal cube in his hand, his emotions a jumble of feelings.

In a sense, this EMP was the culprit that killed Dazhuang.

The EMP destroyed the drive system inside the machine gunner's heavy mech, preventing Da Zhuang from escaping and causing him to be burned to death by incendiary bombs.

On the one hand, the ultimate source of his anger was those three overpowered Bald Eagle agents.

In his previous life, he was a player who entered the game; in this life, he is a map boss.

There's always a sense of accepting defeat; if someone beats me through skill, I'll be completely convinced.

Cheating is shameful regardless of winning or losing.

"Forget it, let's deal with the immediate problem first..."

Han Che sighed deeply. He had been so caught up in the events that he hadn't had time to stop and think things through.

At least this EMP can be used to interfere with the three Bald Eagles' deadly weapons, which is like having an extra trump card.

Same as always, I'll go to the supermarket, buy some good wine and cold dishes, store them in the system space, and take them to treat my brothers.

He unconsciously bought a bit too much this time; the big guy probably ate more...

As darkness fell, Han Che changed his clothes and returned to the prison.

As soon as he got back, he saw Shi Ding standing against the wall at the entrance of the prison evacuation point, waiting for him.

Upon seeing him emerge, Shi Ding immediately came to greet him.

"Warden! Boss!" Shi Ding's excitement was palpable.

"What's wrong, Shi Ding? Don't rush, tell me slowly!" Han Che's heart clenched suddenly; he was terrified that something else might happen.

"Dazhuang! Dazhuang is back!"

"What?" Han Che wondered if he had lost his mind and was hallucinating.

He felt so guilty today; all he could think about were the words Dazhuang had said on the walkie-talkie before he died.

You're experiencing auditory hallucinations from this little bit of pressure?

"Boss!" Shi Ding no longer followed his usual understanding and grabbed Han Che's arm.

"Dazhuang is back; he's in the office now!"

"Dazhuang? That new machine gunner?" Han Che realized he wasn't hallucinating!

"It's him, who else could it be!" Shi Ding shouted. "But it seems like he's not used to being resurrected for the first time, he's acting like a fool right now."

Han Che didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed out of the prison evacuation point.

"Quick! Go there now!"
