Chapter 1408 Permission (Big Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets)

"There's a no-fly zone ahead," the pilot parked the helicopter on a wide square and looked at Howe. "Mr. Pashu, our people have arranged an off-road vehicle outside the square for the road to the South Gate. We can get on the off-road vehicle once we walk out."

"Okay." He Ao turned over and walked off the helicopter.

The pilot followed him and got off the helicopter at the same time.

He looked up at He Ao who was walking forward naturally, followed behind He Ao, and scratched his head.

According to the unwritten rules of the FBI, witnesses like 'Pashu' who are suspected of committing a crime should be supervised while they are free to move around without being detained.

Therefore, he needed to work with Pashu to ensure that the other party was always in a state of "supervision".

He looked again at Howe who was walking slowly and naturally across the square towards the street.

The other party held his head high and had an extraordinary bearing. Now it seemed that he was not being "supervised" by him, but rather being "followed" by him.

But think about it, the director seems like a little follower following the other person.

That's okay.

He quickly caught up with He Ao and kept up with He Ao's pace.

But Howe did not pay attention to the pilot's actions, but glanced across the square where he was standing.

The broken square ground, the old, densely packed low-rise buildings, the dark alleys between the low-rise buildings, and the dilapidated shacks squeezed on the edge of the alleys.

It was all the same as when he came here 'to do business' many years ago.

After so many years, the South Gate of Denuo City has basically not changed, except that it has become more dilapidated.

He Ao's figure quickly passed through the alley.

The low buildings on both sides are closely packed together, like two figures standing shoulder to shoulder, leaving only a strip of gray sky and the space under the sky filled with chaotic crisscrossing wires.

Windows with security nets are densely arranged between the electric wires, revealing the narrow divided spaces in the building.

These buildings, when he first saw them, were full of freshness and surprise. He was amazed at the completely different lifestyles of the people of Deno and the people of the wilderness.

But after so many years, the people living in these buildings are still huddled in dirty darkness, without seeing the sun.

At that time, Pasch believed that the election of the old president might change all this, but this year is the last year of the old president's eight-year two-term term.

In the dark shack, pairs of eyes opened and stared at the two uninvited guests.

The pilot held his hands at his waist, calmly looking at the figures around him.

He knew very well that there was no order in the neighborhood, and gangs and a unique underground order dominated the area.

If they do not have enough force, a group of thugs will emerge from this seemingly weak crowd and rob all their belongings.

But after seeing the pilot's uniform and his hands on his waist, those eyes quickly retracted.

The two men quickly passed through the narrow alley and reached the street outside, where they found the SUV parked by the FBI agents.

There was already a chaotic crowd on the surrounding streets, standing on the streets and looking around.

Not far away, on a huge screen that was already damaged and had long lines of bad pixels, an emergency notice from the FBI was playing.

The content of the notice was very simple, saying that there were suspected strange beasts approaching Denuo City in the south, and residents living near the South Gate were required to leave the area near the South Gate as soon as possible and wait to return after the crisis was over.

This location is still some distance away from the South Gate, and the people on the road are not so panicked. They are all whispering to each other.

He Ao got into the off-road vehicle, and the pilot naturally got into the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and quickly drove towards the south gate.

As the off-road vehicle gradually moved south, some people began to appear on the street, carrying things and slowly leaving the area near the South Gate.

"We have received an emergency notice that a powerful beast will soon pass by the South Gate. Please temporarily leave the nearby area and follow the main road to the Red Maple Street District for shelter. I repeat, please temporarily leave the nearby area..."

What appeared to be an FBI vehicle, with a huge loud speaker on top, was broadcasting evacuation notices throughout the streets.

While Howe was watching the crowd that dispersed northward after hearing the notice, his bracelet rang.

"Pashu, can you hear me?" As the call was connected, Vagina's voice also rang out, "I am now asking the FBI agents near the South Gate to issue an evacuation notice. The city government has agreed to have the city police department cooperate with our actions."

"I saw it," Howe said with a slow laugh, "Well done."

"That's not something you would say," Vigina seemed to smile and shook her head, "but it seems too early to start praising people now."

She sighed and continued, "The next is the bad news. The commander of the city defense army at the South Gate and the city government refused to cooperate with us to close the South Gate because it would block the 'trade route'."

"Most of the caravans that enter and leave the south gate of Denor City are from the Kvoter Group, right?" He Ao realized what Vigina meant. "Are the city government and the city defense forces afraid that it will affect the 'business' of the Kvoter Group?"

"Yes," Vigina nodded. "According to the intelligence I collected, the mayor's campaign committee received a large amount of political donations from the Kvoter Group. They dare not touch the Kvoter Group's caravan."

At this point, she paused, "But they didn't say anything final. The city cabinet said they are willing to issue an order to close the gate as long as the commander of the city defense army at the South Gate, the Minister of City Defense, is willing to close the gate."

She smiled bitterly. "Then the biggest problem came. The city defense commander at the South Gate said on the phone that he was unwilling to close the gate and that he had not observed any signs of alien beasts. He thought I was being unreasonable and even asked the city government to cancel the evacuation order."

"It seems that the commander of the city defense army at the South Gate is completely a member of the Kwart Group?" He Ao asked slowly.

"Yes," Vigina sighed, "He originally worked in the security department of the Kvothe Group, but later left the security department and joined the city defense army. With the 'help' of the Kvothe Group, he successfully became the commander of the South Gate City Defense Army and also became the Minister of City Defense of this city cabinet."

She added slowly, "From the information I have collected, this person is extremely close to the Kvotte Group, very greedy for money, and will hardly do anything that goes against the interests of the Kvotte Group."

"Can those executives of the Kvothe Group influence his decision?" He Ao asked slowly.

Almost all the powerful executives of the Kvothe Group are now in the FBI building.

"I tried," Vigina shook her head, "The guy said that these executives could not represent the Kvote Group. He would only close the gate if Colin, the CEO of the Denor branch, called him, or if I got the 'resolution' of the Kvote Group's board of directors, saying that closing the city gate would have no impact on the caravan.

"The CEO of the branch is now kidnapped, and we can't contact the board of directors of the Kvote Group headquarters. This is basically an impossible request."

At this point, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "This guy is in charge of the city defense army established by the taxes of Denuo City. He is paid by Denuo City, but he works for the Kvothe Group. He doesn't even want to put on an act."

"It seems that the price offered by the Kvothe Group is indeed not low," He Ao sighed slightly, and then he asked, "Have you asked the city government about the matter related to the Dark Lizard? Now that things have come to this point, they should not remain silent."

He didn't tell Vagina that he wanted to ask this, but he knew that Vagina would definitely ask related questions.

"They said some, but not all," Vigina replied slowly, "They just said there is something that can drive away the dark lizards and prevent them from attacking the city. The mayor said he would send someone to activate it, and it will take effect in ten minutes at most."

"That's fine," He Ao nodded slightly, "We can discuss the details later."

"Oh, right," Vigina hesitated for a moment and said quickly, "There is another problem. The city government doesn't dare to approve your exit permit, and the South Gate City Defense Force is unwilling to let you go. They are afraid that you will run away and they can't bear the responsibility. Even if I use myself as a guarantee for you, it won't work."

At this point, she paused and said, "But I found a transport convoy for you from the Kvothe Group. It will leave in about an hour. If you disguise yourself, you should be able to blend in and follow them out of the city."

After she finished speaking, she said slowly and anxiously, "I'm sorry, I didn't handle my affairs well. These politicians are more timid than I thought."

"This has nothing to do with you," He Ao shook his head and smiled, "It's normal for this to happen."

He knew from the beginning that Vagina would most likely not be able to get his permission to leave the city because his identity was too sensitive.

He glanced at the increasing number of people evacuating outside the window, as well as the towering and majestic buildings behind the crowd, and said slowly, "But there's no need to get out. That would be a waste of time."

"Then what happened to you..." Vagina was slightly stunned.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the building in front of him, and asked slowly, "Is that the South City Defense Army Command Center? Is the South City Defense Army Commander in it?"

"Yes." The pilot who was driving glanced at the building ahead and nodded slightly.

"I'll be out for a while and will be back soon. Keep driving forward without stopping." He Ao, who was sitting in the back, opened the car door and said slowly.

Hearing He Ao's words, the pilot was stunned and didn't react for a while.

When he came to his senses, the wide back seat was empty.

Denuo City South City Defense Command Center
Snapped--

The pot-bellied man in military uniform put the microphone in his hand on the base and sneered, "FBI bitch, you're meddling in my city defense army affairs. Why don't you look in the mirror and see what you are like?"

He casually picked up a golden snake ornament from the table and started playing with it. "What kind of dark lizard passed by? It's such a big beast, how could I not hear any news at all?"

He looked up at the young officer standing next to him and said, "Tell me, are those people from the city government also cowards without balls? They peed their pants just because a woman scared them, and they just stood there and shouted for the crowd to be evacuated."

"Yes, yes." The young officer nodded immediately.

"I said that these people in the city government are all idiots, pure fence-sitters. They took the group's money but didn't do any work for the group, and they want to please both sides," the man spat. "What else can I say? I won't open the door. If the monster causes any harm, I will be responsible."

He continued to play with the ornaments in his hand, "Why should I be responsible? If you ask me, there is no fucking exotic beast here."

He looked down at the golden snake in his hand. A ray of yellow light flowed through the snake. He sneered, "Even if there is a strange beast, so what? The Dark Lizard is just bragging. It's not certain whether it is a Dark Lizard. Even if it is a Dark Lizard, it is just a slightly stronger strange beast."

He pinched the golden snake in his hand, "I can crush him to death with just a flick of my hand. And that 'Pashu', the guy who assassinated the president, dared me to let him go. He is so stupid. He wants to set a trap for me."

His voice became colder, "You still said that he must be let out, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."

boom--

He held the golden snake in his hand and knocked it on the table. He glanced at the high wall outside the window and sneered, "Anyone who dares to threaten me hasn't even been born yet. If you have the guts, let that Pashu come to me and say it in person!"

"Ahem," a light cough sounded behind him, followed by a cold voice, "What do you want to talk about?"

At this moment, the man's face suddenly froze, and his fat body jumped out like a rabbit and landed in the corner of the office.

He looked at the place where the young officer had just been, only to find that the officer had been knocked down at some point and was unconscious on the ground.

He looked up and saw a figure carrying a scimitar and a wooden-handled spear. His body froze and he suddenly shouted, "Someone come!!! Enemy attack!!!"

However, despite his violent shouting, there was silence outside the door, as if it were death.

"Heh, you want to threaten me!!!?" The man looked at He Ao, sneered, and suddenly pinched the golden snake in his hand.

boom--

With a roar like thunder, the golden snake in the man's hand flew out, grew in the wind, and turned into a huge golden snake. The terrifying pressure instantly tore the surrounding desks into pieces, and cracks appeared on the floor and walls in an instant.

However, He Ao seemed not to notice the golden snake and continued to move forward slowly.

The golden snake spit out its tongue with a dim glow, opened its huge mouth, and was about to swallow He Ao into its mouth in an instant.

He Ao slowly moved forward, stretched out his hand, grabbed the golden snake's jaw, pushed it up suddenly, and closed the golden mouth in an instant.

boom--

He grasped the giant snake and swung it like a whip, wrapping it around a man not far away. With a loud roar, it smashed the wall and the room.

A howling cold wind blew in from outside the broken space.

The man stared at all this with eyes wide open, his eyes filled with disbelief and gradually spreading fear.

However, before he could make any move, his body, along with He Ao, quickly fell down along the smashed ground.

boom--

The two men smashed into the huge square, raising countless rubble and dust and creating a huge pit.

He Ao waved his hand lightly, and the golden snake that had endured the terrifying force suddenly shattered and turned into yellow light scattered all over the sky.

The man in officer's uniform curled up on the ground like a lump of meat, trembling as he watched He Ao approaching step by step.

"You are Pashu!" He raised his hand and shouted hurriedly, "I can protect you and give you money."

He Ao did not pause at all.

"So, you and Vagina are together, right?" the man said again, looking at the rapidly approaching figure. "I'll give you a certificate to leave the city. I'll guarantee you!!!"

But Howe's steps are still moving forward rapidly.

"I got it! Close the city gates!" the man shouted hoarsely again, "I will contact the city government immediately and ask them to close the city gates. No, no, no, I will give the order first and ask them to close the city gates. I will do whatever you say, I will do whatever you say!!! I will give the order right in front of you!!!"

He hurriedly raised his bracelet to authenticate his identity, and entered the wrong password several times before finally giving the order.

Then he raised his hand tremblingly and showed Howe his command.

But He Ao did not stop and walked towards him slowly.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" He subconsciously arched his body and began to tremble.

He Ao stopped in front of him, reached out his hand, patted his messy uniform, and asked softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm just defending myself, I have no ill intentions, am I threatening you?"

"No! No!" he shouted hurriedly, his voice full of tears, "I did it all voluntarily! It was all voluntarily! I'll give the order immediately, give the order immediately!"

The cold wind blew across the square, across the man's trembling fat cheeks.

······
The pilot who was driving felt the car body tremble. He raised his head and glanced in the rearview mirror.

At some point, the wide back row had lost its space, and a figure carrying a machete and a wooden-handled rifle sat there quietly, turning his head to look out the window.

As if I had never left.
