Chapter 44 The Assassination Target

After finishing their meal, the two began to leave side by side. At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened, and only the bright street lights illuminated this avenue that people had to take to get to and from get off work.

And because a lot of manpower had been withdrawn recently, there were only a few pedestrians on the road at this time.

"Then go back."

The two walked to an intersection. One direction led to the outside, and the other was the residential area for A-level employees, which was guarded by a security guard.

"it is good."

Just as He Kui finished speaking, a person came towards him. It was the smiling colleague from before.

"Why are you here?"

While He Kui was looking at the other person's usual smiling face and asking questions, he felt Su Lei behind him quietly tugging at his clothes. The two of them glanced at each other tacitly, without letting the other notice anything wrong, and soon returned to normal.

"Just as I mentioned before, I was thinking of giving you beef as a thank you gift. I was just about to go to your office to look for you. You guys just left too?"

The young man first greeted Director Su before smiling at He Kui.

"That's it."

"That's right, look, this is the cake I just made."

The boy said as he reached into the bag.

He Kui was one step faster than him and took out a small Hello from his waistband. He turned around, hugged Su Lei behind him, and ran towards the guard post of the A-class residential area.

"Sensing attack posture, shield deployed."

As Haro finished speaking, the young man took out a pistol from his bag and fired at the small barrier repeatedly. At the same time, thick smoke instantly gushed out from the holes in Haro's limbs.

On the other side, the guards also noticed something was wrong, and two guards holding submachine guns rushed over together.

"There's a killer!"

After He Kui finished speaking, he pointed behind him and shouted.

"Hello absorb the smokescreen!"

"Understood~"

A crisp electronic sound was heard, and immediately the small powerful absorption device in Haro's body began to work. All the thick smoke that was emitted was absorbed by Haro, leaving only the young man surrounded by several soldiers.

"Put the gun down!"

"For the blue and pure universe!"

Without saying a word, the boy glanced at the two men with a cold, hateful look that was completely different from his usual sunny smile, and then pointed his gun at them.

Not surprisingly, the boy was shot dead instantly by the guard standing in the front.

After explaining the situation to the Secret Service personnel who had arrived at the scene, things soon became clear.

The boy probably thought that taking away two A-levels at once was a very good opportunity. With the cover of night and because many people were transferred to the construction, there were not many pedestrians and guards on the avenue.

However, the boy obviously didn't expect that He Kui's Hello had so many messy functions, so he died on the spot.

"Then just to be on the safe side, you need to give us your Harrow's design drawings as well."

The Secret Service employee, dressed in a neat suit, spoke to He Kui in a businesslike manner.

"I'm sorry, but I can't give you this design. It's our confidential drawing."

".That's right!"

After hearing what He Kui said, Su Lei also agreed.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long while.

"I understand. I will report this matter truthfully."

After saying that, the agent left the scene.

"Why did you refuse?"

Su Lei asked curiously.

"After giving it to them, will there be any left?" He has sold quite a few of these Haro. Although the structure is not too complicated, it only takes one or two days to dismantle the A-grade ones and reverse engineer them, and they can be quickly replicated.

But if you take the initiative to share, you can get a reputation, but if you give it to them, you will get nothing.

"You think clearly."

Hearing that He Kui also had his own ideas, Su Lei felt relieved.

Needless to say, after today's incident gets out, I'm afraid this kind of Hello will officially enter the mainstream stage of PLANT.

Although it did not play a big role in the war, He Kui turned this Hello into an anti-assassination weapon with various life-saving functions integrated into it.

The exhaust can not only absorb its own smoke, but even poison gas, the shield can provide physical protection, and Haro can automatically follow without affecting the person's escape.

Some people above also reacted quickly and wanted to take the design drawings directly, which would also give them some fame.

"Then when you go back, wait for this incident to develop and then directly post the design drawings on the forum. They won't be able to reverse engineer your Hello so quickly."

"I understand."

This was what he had originally planned.

"Also be careful recently. This matter is not simple. He should know about the oscillation component research you posted on the forum. Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk of taking action at this time after lurking for so long."

He was one of the engineers of the radar group. To have a clean background and such talent, he must have been lurking for many years.

"But if you say that, doesn't that mean they have people at higher levels too?"

"It's possible"

Hearing Su Lei's answer, He Kui's heart sank.

If this is true, then his beam weapon will not only be at risk of being stolen, but also at risk of being assassinated.

"How's your progress on beam weapons lately?"

“Nothing has happened.”

There really is no progress. Now he has to spend most of his time here. It will probably take more than a month to successfully unlock part of the power component.

".Anyway, be careful. I will request a guard to accompany me when I take the test here next time."

"You don't have to worry too much. This is just my guess. I believe the Design Bureau will soon start its internal cleansing. Perhaps the spy will be caught soon."

Seeing He Kui's serious expression, Su Lei said a few more words.

The director and even higher-ups have a blue cosmos, which is a big deal. Although humans cannot drive MS, if the information of various machines is brought over, the alliance will be able to pose a greater threat to them in a targeted manner.

"it is good."

"But I didn't expect your Haro to be so useful. I guess I'll have to bring one with me next time."

Thinking that everyone in the director's office would need a Hello kit in the future, Su Lei couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect that either."

When he designed it, he just wanted to better protect his life, but it does coincide with assassination.

"It's getting late, go back and rest early. There is still a special car that can take you back."

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

He Kui bowed and said.

"See you tomorrow and thank you for protecting me."

"But according to what you said, I am also a target."

“No, it’s different.”

Thinking that the cowardly He Kui would risk his life to protect her from the gun, Su Lei felt as if her heart was filled with something and was about to overflow.
