Demon’s Cage

Chapter 12 Interrogation

“Are you crazy?!” Colleen roared.

“No!” Qin Ran replied firmly.

“Well, do you understand what you are saying?” Colleen looked at Qin Ran like he was a madman.

“Of course, I know what I’m saying, and I know what I want to do. I know the Vulture’s nest must be heavily guarded – but I have to do it …… this is our only chance!” Qin Ran looked at Colleen and seriously said. “Vulture send his guys to crush us. He clearly didn’t want us to live. Even though this time he failed, he will do it again! It will be even more dangerous next time! Just as you said, only if he kills us can he maintain his reputation, and to exhibit his ferocious side, this is the best way to save his face!”

“When the Vulture sends his people here again next time, they may not be easy to deal with. Their vigilance will make it difficult for us! We are not able to secretly attack them like this time anymore! And they will have better equipment. Don’t tell me that before the war the entire police station maintained public securities only though these tiny pistols.”

He pointed at their trophies.

“But…But…” Colleen frowned and wanted to say something, but she didn’t say it.

Because she knew that what Qin Ran had just said was true.

Although she hated the Vulture, she couldn’t deny the fact that the Vulture was indeed very powerful.

“As a result, we have to kill the Vulture before he realizes. Completely destroy him!” Qin Ran said.

“Okay, okay, I admit what you said was right. But you know it’s not easy!” Colleen thought for a moment before raising her hands and compromised.

Although what Qin said made sense, she hoped that the plan could be more likely to succeed. Particularly when they had gained some advantages.

Her most immediate hope was to use some of the trophies to exchange for some goods, and live longer during this war, even if she had to hide all the time.

After all, this was what she did during the past four months.

However, Qin Ran was not the same!

Qin Ran was a player!

Furthermore, he wanted to get some money out of this game to cure his illness!

So, he had to make himself powerful as soon as possible. Powerful enough to kill more enemy NPCs and get more weapons and equipment in exchange for his treatment costs.

The Vulture was definitely an enemy NPC, which Qin Ran would never let go.

As for hiding all the time during a game?

If Qin Ran was an ordinary player, he would consider about it.

But unfortunately, he was not.

“I know this is not easy, so we need to make it more probably to succeed and simpler. Colleen, could you help me pay attention to the surroundings? Oh right! May I borrow your kitchen knife?” Qin Ran pointed at the pa.s.sing out mob on the ground and said to Colleen.

“Alright!” Colleen sighed and walked toward the other side of the ruins.

Colleen could not only hide there, but there was enough field of vision, allowing her to look around. Before leaving, Colleen left him a kitchen knife, like what he said.

This kitchen knife was Qin Ran’s trophy originally.

He gave it to Colleen because of tonight’s fight. Just in case.

At the moment, Qin Ran wanted to borrow, so Colleen obviously would not say anything.

Then what was Qin Ran doing?

Colleen guessed, but maintained a supportive att.i.tude.

Living in the war, Colleen’s view on morality had already changed. There wasn’t a right or wrong answer. If what she did could make her life better, she would do it.

This was everyone’s wish during a war! Colleen was no exception.

After Colleen walked to the other side, Qin Ran started looking at the prisoner in front of him.

He didn’t know what Colleen was thinking. However, he knew that she was on his side, and he could trust her.

Qin Ran kicked the prisoner’s leg and woke him up.

“I beg you, give me a break!” He once again begged for mercy.

“Well, I’ll let you go as long as you tell me what I want to know!”

The gunman didn’t know whether Qin Ran was deceiving him, yet he didn’t have a choice, because he was helpless.

“What do you want to know?” The captured gunmen cautiously asked.

“Everything about the Vulture. Including your nest, and how many people he has!” Qin said.

” I don’t know much about my boss. The nest is in a warehouse in a mall at the Sixth Avenue. We have twenty people…ah!”

He screamed.

Qin Ran suddenly cut one of his fingers.

“Shut up! You know I’m not asking for things everyone already knows. I want something people don’t know! You have two more chances!”  Qin Ran held the kitchen knife and look at the guy coldly.

The guy suddenly stopped screaming. Looking at Qin Ran with a b.l.o.o.d.y kitchen knife, his fear overcame his pain.

“As for how the Vulture became the boss, I really have no idea. He wasn’t famous before, and his fame suddenly rose during the war. His nest is indeed in the underground warehouse. However, we have around 30 people – a few days ago he had a new group of people join our group.”

Pain and fear made him tell something of actual substance.

Thirty people?

Twenty and thirty people were two entirely different concepts!

If it was the former, then, including the two gunmen Qin Ran killed yesterday plus the seven guys today, he would only need to face 11 enemies.

But now, he would need to face 21 of them!

Suddenly, Qin felt like his pressure had doubled!

But the next moment, he frowned and thought of another question.

“If there are thirty people living under this kind of situation, how do they afford their living necessities? Besides, it looks like you guys never lack food or water! The mall where the nest is located is only a shopping mall, not a grocery store. Don’t tell me the Vulture brought all these necessities from the police station! You lied to me!”

Then, Qin Ran raised his kitchen knife.

Just like what he said, to afford 30 people’s necessities was extremely difficult at this time.

This wasn’t a peaceful era, and not even the start of the war.

The war had already lasted for four months. It had caused a shortage of all the necessities for living.

Even if Qin Ran had only stayed here for two days, he already felt how valuable food and water were.

And the guy in front of him didn’t exhibit any hint of starvation and dehydration.

In contrast, he was not only strong, but full of vigor.

If only one person was like this, it could be explained by good luck. However, Qin Ran remembered that all the gunmen he had contact with were also like this.

Apparently they were not lacking food and water, and still had abundant resources. This meant they have at least enough living resources for thirty men to live for at least two to three weeks!

Even if the Vulture had weapons and numerical advantages over others, to accomplish this was impossible.

Unless they robbed a huge supermarket!

And it was impossible!

Because at the beginning of the war, the supermarket had been emptied by residents.

As a result, Qin Ran subconsciously believed that the guy lied to him.

“No! I’m not! The Vulture has his special channel to get all the resources!”

Looking at the knife, the guy hurried to explain.

“What channel?”

Qin Ran asked.

The guy showed a sign of hesitation. But Qin Ran acted without the lightest hesitation.

He raised the kitchen knife.

Another finger was chopped off.

“What!!” The gunman uttered.

“It seems you don’t understand your situation. Do I need to remind you again?” Qin once again raised the knife.

“Rebels! Rebels!” The guy said immediately.

“The rebels?” Qin Ran thought for a moment.

Qin Ran couldn’t believe that the Vulture had hooked up with the rebels. After all, according to Colleen and what the guy in front of him just said, the Vulture was just a small fry before the start of the war.

How could such a person have contact with the rebels?

“The Vulture boss caught some women. He sent some of these women to collaborate with the major rebels!”

Qin Ran suddenly clenched the handle. Qin Ran was not stupid. He certainly knew what kind of collaboration the Vulture and the rebels major were doing.

Qin Ran couldn’t suppress his anger.

Then, the anger turned into his intention to kill.

However, when he saw the gunman, he looked calm.

“Well, you seem to understand our way of talking – Next, tell me everything about the nest layout and positions guarded by your members!”

However, Qin said.

“Okay, okay!”

Gunmen nodded, and told Qin Ran everything he knew.

And he didn’t notice that Qin Ran became more and more indifferent.
