I ran for president with scumbag money

"Hiss...someone...hiss...hear me? We need to...stab..."

"...hiss... this... thorn, thorn... broken..."

Earth Fire put down the communicator, frowning.

They are in a very bad situation now.

Originally, everyone thought it was an easy task:

According to the clues, they already knew the hiding place of the big drug lord Duman, and broke through about [-] lines of defense—of course, this number is completely exaggerated, but the ground fire didn’t want to count how many there were—he and his comrades They finally approached the enemy's lair.

However, the sacrifice was too great.

Seven of the original twelve teammates were killed, and the captain was seriously injured.

Their captain is indeed too old.

Earth Fire thought calmly.

"Earthfire" is not his name, it's just a nickname. Like you, "Blood Blade", "Black Dog", "Werewolf" and "Meat Grinder" are also nicknames for his teammates. They never exchange their real names with each other.

The captain often emphasized that they were not mercenaries, but "self-defense forces".

Because the government did not impose due restrictions on drug dealers, the chaebols behind them allowed the circulation of drugs, so they had to pick up guns to resist drug dealers and defend ordinary people.

But as states gradually legislate to establish drug sanitation injection points, people's bottom line on drugs has been relaxed again and again, and more and more types of drugs are regarded as "legal substitutes", and Landfire began to think whether what they were doing was worthwhile.

Who made every battle of theirs come with sacrifices.

"Earthfire, what should we do now?" Xue Ren narrowed his sleepy eyes and turned his head to ask.

Dihuo didn't know if the opponent's listlessness was due to exhaustion.

It's hard to guess. Facing a teammate who can't open his eyes, the most difficult thing to judge is whether he is awake.

Xue Ren's eyes are really slender. The worst thing is that he was short-sighted. Even though he had surgery to correct it, he still squints his eyes habitually, as if he couldn't see anything without squinting.

"Go on, or..." The werewolf also looked at him.

On his thick shoulders, the seriously injured captain was panting heavily, taking long and short breaths, breaking them suddenly and then connecting them again, together with the unhealed wound dripping from the abdomen, all signs showed that something big happened Not good.

Dihuo licked his chapped lips, feeling uncomfortable in his stomach.

Is it worth it?

He knew that in the captain's heart, it was worth it.

There is one thing that no one on the team knows, and that is the captain's past.

The captain is 51 this year. For soldiers, this age is indeed a bit old.

He used to be a soldier, his wife died at the hands of drug dealers, he tried to investigate the drug dealers, but no one paid attention, so he left the army and started looking for collaborators.

After repeated failures, he became obedient and began to adopt some orphans through unofficial means, train them, turn them into soldiers, and fight with him.

Every orphan picked up by him has deep feelings for him, and Dihuo understands this feeling very well, because he is one of them.

The captain taught them how to use guns, how to fight, how to study, how to make money, how to judge right from wrong...

Of course, Dihuo understands this kind of feeling. When he grasped the handle of the gun for the first time under the captain's guidance, the cold metal feel made his whole body tremble. Bullied little kids too.

He has power and can learn to take charge of his own life.

He also did a lot of things for the captain, as did his teammates, for a crazy, impractical, unsupported thing:

Let the drugs go away.

"I said, ground fire..." Blood Blade turned his head and didn't look at him, but said, "It's really meaningless. State B is preparing to pass the Safe Drugs Act. Guess what? Duman's transportation this time is all Within the scope of the regulations - what we did was illegal."

"What law have we broken?" the black dog said angrily.

"At least it's a crime of infringing on other people's property." Blood Blade shrugged.

"What a joke!" The black dog sniffed and said disgustedly, "Is this thing a personal property?"

Well, thought Earthfire.

He doesn't want to listen to your companions' arguments, he just wants to think about it calmly.

Their situation is very critical, and Duman can no longer tolerate them continuing to destroy his business. This time, even if he uses his private arsenal, he will blast them into the sky and go to a dead end.

What about going backwards?

He looked at the captain's white-haired head, and he knew very clearly that the captain hadn't had many years, and he might not even be able to survive this serious injury.

But step back, how should I explain to the captain?He had pinned so much hope on it.

Dihuo's forehead was covered with sweat, unconsciously, he recalled one thing:

He had moments when his blood boiled, like all young people, because at that time he believed everything the captain said.

Until one day, they completed a mission, returned to the safe house, and unloaded the equipment.

His teammates were happily going to celebrate. Surrounded by his teammates and walking forward, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to take something.

After greeting his teammates, he returned to his hideout.

The lights in the house had been turned off, but the door was ajar. The ground fire became vigilant and approached cautiously.

Through the crack of the door, he saw, clearly saw, their captain sitting in front of a pile of things, hunched over, covering his face with his hands, his tall figure was shrouded in darkness, like a ruined wall.

Dihuo didn't know what the emotion wrapped around the captain was, but he shuddered.

He suddenly remembered that the pile of things were the relics of those dead teammates.

He suddenly remembered that they had no understanding of death, and when their teammates were gone, they could still cheer for every victory.

Perhaps it was then that the captain's low, dark mood affected him.

The seemingly indomitable hero also has moments of cowardice and sadness, but it is this moment that has the deepest impact on Earth Fire.

Gradually, Dihuo began to take the initiative to investigate the captain's past, and then he knew about this enmity.

"I regarded you as a hero," he thought silently while looking at the old news on the screen, "it turned out that you were just an avenger who screamed at the sky for hatred and ruined his life."

"Earth fire..."

The captain who was in a coma suddenly began to whisper.

Dihuo woke up with a start, and heard the captain say in a painful voice: "...I'll leave it to you..."

No one spoke anymore. In the silence, the captain's voice moved clearly.

Ah, the captain doesn't just have many years to live, he simply doesn't have much time left.Earth Fire thought drowsily.

The captain shouldn't have been this weak.

He was wounded in the last battle, and they sent him to the secret doctor, and the curmudgeon doctor treated him.

But on the long drive from state A back to state B, that stupid werewolf turned on the car radio, and they all heard the news, the news that the Safer Drugs Act was about to pass.

Because of this incident, the captain decided to temporarily change the plan and forcibly carry out this operation.

I have the highest failure rate in sudden actions, and they all know this, but the captain didn't listen to his and Blood Blade's persuasion at all.

Twelve minus seven... minus five, or minus... one?

He looked at the blood blade.

How dare you think so?

The other party's eyes widened, and the words were clearly contained in the eyes.

However, Blood Blade, when a person is hesitating about how to choose important things, the answer is often ready to come out.

"Werewolf, put the captain down," others saw that the words really came from their own voices, "Others will investigate, I will wait here with the captain, we need to judge a plan based on the current situation."

"Okay, 'Planning Maniac'." The werewolf rolled his eyes without malice, and carefully placed the captain on the ground with a care that didn't match his huge body at all.

Xue Ren suddenly knelt down on one knee, caught the captain's body, and held him in his arms.

"Fire," he lowered his head, said, "The captain is dead, don't move forward."

The werewolf let out a low growl, grabbed Xue Ren by the collar, and glared at him viciously: "You dare to say that? Xue Ren, I think you are too smart!"

It would be great if he could die.

Earth Fire looked at the captain, but his fingers unconsciously slid to the gun on his belt:

The world has failed him, and now, even his son wants to fail him.

Rather than letting him down, let him... die.

"Earth fire!"

……

"Hey, ground fire!"

Dihuo rubbed his eyes, the nightmare from the past gave him a headache, and the anger of getting up made him murderous, threatening: "If you shout again, I will kill you."

"I don't want to disturb you," the meat grinder said dryly, stretched out a finger, and pointed, "over there, it's too much."

Dihuo turned over from his sleeping bag, and what he saw in his hazy vision made him jump up with his sleeping bag in his hand: "What are you doing?"

"Entering guests—what the hell is he doing?!" The meat grinder also roared, and rushed out with a quick step.

"You people..." Dihuo covered his face with a slap, and murmured, "It's hopeless, really."

They panic because the tide has turned:

Binny pointed the gun at Lusha's head, and the brim of his hat was lowered to the line of sight, which did not block the cold light in his eyes.

"Let him go," he said.

Lusha let go of her hand slowly, and the gun slipped to the ground. The next second, she squatted down suddenly, turned around and swept her legs, and Binny pulled the gun down at the same time, and the bullet grazed her calf and hit the ground with a bang. .

Lusa's body froze.

She slowly retracted her legs and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

Five minutes later, Leon, who was let go, was speechless when he heard Lusha's "parents" apologize incoherently.

Lusha rubbed the corner of her clothes, she looked like a child who made a mistake.

"I don't know if he can be trusted." She muttered, "Isn't that how it's played on TV? Go back and test the other party's strength."

Leon rubbed his arm, and after the silver needle was taken out, his body completely returned to normal without leaving any scars, which is very miraculous.

The man with eyes narrowed into two slits held the silver needle that was taken out, with an expression like he wanted to kill someone.

Leon knew him.

They met at the kennel, and the man gave him a toy cockroach and a bad joke.

"Who taught her?" Squinted eyes roared in a low voice, "Be conscious, stand up by yourself, and don't let the master find you."

"I."

Leon saw another young man saying.

This man looks very refined, and even if he is said to be an elite in the financial industry, some people will believe him. He has short black hair and dark green eyes, and he has a kind of indifference that is almost forbidden.

His tone was also calm, but he closed his mouth immediately after squinting his eyes, threw the silver needle aside, turned his head and snorted.

The scene was quiet for a while, a little awkwardly quiet, Lusha hugged Leon's arm as if she couldn't stand it.

"Let's go over there, and I'll explain to you slowly." She said lively, "Can you tell your people not to follow? I'm a little afraid of him."

When Leon heard the words, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

It was only then that he was sure that all the girl's performances were bluffing. In fact, she was a mess and had no experience at all.

"Binney, could you please wait a minute," he said.

He was dragged by Lusha until he was out of everyone's sight, and Lusha finally let go.

"It's annoying me to death," she wailed, "It's still such a weird atmosphere after such a long time!"

"I'm still waiting for an explanation." Leon reminded her.

Lusha raised her hand, pinned the broken hair on her cheek to her ear, and said, "How should I say it? Let's start with my affairs. I was still a student, and I will be in my junior year next year. This group of people suddenly appeared at the school They 'kidnapped' me - they were my dad's friends, the good ones - and they told me my dad died and I should take his place."

What she said was really short, and she spoke very fast, and she also liked to use inappropriate words to "omit" many sentences, which made her words a little difficult to understand.

I could tell it was her habit, but if you didn't listen carefully, it was hard to keep up with her thoughts.

Leon sat down with her and asked patiently: "You haven't said anything about your father yet?"

Lusha took a deep breath, a little reluctantly.

"Well," she said, "I don't really have a good relationship with him.

"My mother died very early, too early, I forgot what she looked like, and my father didn't care about me and kept me in boarding school.

"One time he called and wished me a happy 12th birthday and asked me if I'd gotten my teddy bear, and I yelled at him, 'Dad, I'm 16 and my roommate is putting on lipstick next to me. , preparing to have something happen with her boyfriend that doesn't exist in Jinjiang!'"

"..."

"I didn't know until they took me away. My father organized a small team, do you know?" Lusha gestured to him and said, "If someone sells drugs or commits a crime, Dad doesn't bring anyone to punish them—he Call this 'civilian self-defense'.

"He said that if the state doesn't want to take care of these things, then they can do it themselves without the state worrying about it."

"what……"

Leon remembered Edith's words, and repeated: "'Urban legend'?"

"That's it." Lusha pointed at him excitedly and said, "I always thought it was a rumor before, but I didn't expect it to be made by my dad. Anyway——"

She spread her hands, and said: "Now I'm a 'daughter inheriting my father's career', you see, I thought 'ah, could it be that I am the heroine of the legendary otome game'! The sudden kidnapping, the sudden secret career, Surrounded by men who suddenly stood up, attacking one by one.

"It's only now that I know, heh, I'm simply thinking too much!

"Actually, it's because my dad left. They didn't accept each other, and they couldn't choose a captain at all. Seeing that the team was about to disperse, the ground fire—well, the guy who taught me how to use the silver needle, said, 'That's it. Well, doesn’t the captain have a daughter?’ So, snap! It’s done!”

Leon looked at the rambunctious girl, thinking about how many things in the process were omitted by the phrase "Crack! It's done!"

And the various body movements she seemed to be unable to stop made Leon dazzled even more, so he had to ask: "What does this matter have to do with me?"

"Actually," the girl said sternly, "I'm short of a husband, let them choose the most handsome one for me..."

"Binney!"

"Okay, okay!" Lusha immediately raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, and shouted, "Our boss gave us a mission to escort a drug lord out of a private prison. He also said that you didn't help us, you called Leon, right? Leon Morton."

their boss?

Could it be Koro Cosa?

Thinking of this, Leon asked, "Who is your boss?"

"It's the mysterious benefactor." Lusha crossed her legs, revealing the gleaming silver anklets on her ankles. "He said that half of my dad's equipment was supported by some benefactors, and said... Ah, if I If you want to inherit my father's career, you have to bring everyone back to complete the task and get recognized."

"Wait a minute, let me make a call, okay?" Leon said decisively.

He had never heard of this matter, so he had to confirm it with Ke Luo.

Seeing that Lusha nodded, Leon stood up and walked in front of Binny, raising a hand: "Mobile phone."

Binny took out the lighter habitually, froze for a moment, put it back, took out the phone, and put it in his hand.

Leon didn't call immediately, but stared at him and asked, "Did you find out when I was kidnapped?"

Binny nodded, "I followed them and hid under their car."

He showed Leon his fingers covered in black mud and engine oil.

Leon raised his hand and squeezed his fingers, very hard.

Binny raised his eyes and looked at him in a daze: "What's wrong?"

"No." Leon's fingers were stained black, he rubbed them together, "I want to call Ke Luo, he has added work for us."

Unexpectedly, Ke Luo was still awake.

"What's the matter?" Leon didn't speak for a long time, he asked proactively.

"I thought I couldn't get through." Leon said bluntly.

"If you have a lot of unfinished business, you're not so anxious that you can't sleep." Ke Luo said hoarsely.

"You gave us extra work," Leon frowned, and said, "What do you mean by transporting drug lords?"

"It's not adding work, this is what you have to do." Ke Luo replied calmly, "I don't know what the purpose of the prisoner who replaced the prison guard is, but I know which prisoner is the most important in this prison. I plan to put him Transfer away, and by the way, gather the people I want to test together, and finish it together."

"She's still a girl, student." Leon turned his back and asked angrily, "What do you guys think?"

"Whether you want to help her or not is up to you."

Ke Luo was polite one second, and hung up the phone the next, leaving Leon in a mess in the wind.

Leon stuffed the phone back into Binny's pocket and waved his hand: "I didn't explain it to you."

He went back to Lusa, sat down, and sighed.

Lusha curled her lips, approached Leon suddenly, and whispered, "I'll tell you something, don't be surprised: I have a hunch that I won't be able to get the approval this time, maybe this is the last time for this team to execute Task."

"what happened?"

There was some sadness in her eyes, which made her look younger and more immature: "Those people are all straight men with cancer. I didn't mean anything else, I just said that they really look down on me, and their words and deeds are Expressing 'Girls are just gadgets, they can't fit that much in their heads'.

"If you're a girl, you don't understand those feelings. They're not really said, but they're everywhere.

"It's like when you were looking for a boyfriend, he didn't ask why you don't like shopping? Girls like shopping, shopping, he is ready to suffer for you, how can you not cooperate?

"But I really don't like shopping, I hate walking, I like to stay at home and do everything I'm interested in - except going out, and he said, I'm sorry, you are so difficult, I can't understand ... how about we Break up?

"They don't want to understand your mind, they just want to symbolize you, thinking that doing so will impress you.

"Look, I don't know what they heard from my dad, and I don't know what image I have in their minds, but on the first day I came, Blood Blade—the one who helped you pull out the silver needle— —Ask me if I want a new teddy bear. Me! Of! God! Ah!"

She looked up to the sky and sighed frantically.

"Girls don't think boys like basketball and playing games." Leon tried to comfort her.

"Yes, yes, but when boys say they don't like it, they don't think he has other interests, not that... that... as if you're only supposed to have one interest..."

Lusha paused, and then said dejectedly: "But actually, I also doubt myself. I'm just a student, with neither experience nor enough willpower. Also, the "Safe Drug Use Act" is about to be passed. At that time, we It's spreading its wings in illegal activities."

"Safe Drugs Act?" Leon repeated with a straight face, as if the word had the same meaning as "Damn".

"The bill allows drug users to inject drugs under medical supervision, which they say will curb overdose deaths."

Leon had heard of such things, but he didn't expect the world to "advance with the times" so much.

"When was this bill introduced?" he asked.

His heart was pounding.

Lusa had an answer.

Leon's heart sank.

This is the butterfly effect brought about by world upgrades.

He indirectly affected the "reasonable" production of this bill, and Lusha's father was the direct victim.

"Hey, there are powerful enemies in front of me, and unreliable teammates behind me. Even I am not satisfactory."

As Lusha said, she hugged her legs, put her cheeks on her knees, turned her face to look at Leon, and continued: "I know this team is not disbanded after this trip, but I still hope that I can continue it ...ah... hope is the cheapest thing in the world, and anyone can have it."

"Don't say it's worthless just because you don't want money," Leon said.

He looked at Lusa.

The girl had just lost her father and taken over a mess, and she summed it up pretty clearly: she wasn't ignorant, but she was light-hearted.

Maybe it's just that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

At this time, Lusha was really as comforted by Leon, really full of hope and whimsical asking: "Can you be my boyfriend?"

"No." Leon said decisively.
