Starting from South America, speeding through the world

Chapter 9 Desire
Matthäus crouched on the roof, vigilantly observing his surroundings through night vision goggles.

The view was deathly still, with only the dim streetlights casting long shadows of the bags piled on the ground.

Five or six skilled fighters were scattered around, hidden in the shadows, waiting for the robbers to appear.

Time passed slowly, but there was still no movement.

He touched his chin, and his confidence began to waver.

Did they spot me?

It shouldn't be.

Could it be that they changed their minds?
But they didn't call to explain.

Matthäus's mind raced, a growing sense of unease rising within him.

After waiting a few more minutes, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He finally couldn't hold back any longer, stuffed the pistol back into his waistband, and jumped off the roof.

He gestured for the others to remain still, then Mateusz strode out of the alley, put his hands on his hips, and looked around.

The moonlight shone on the hillside, and the weather was so hot and humid that it was suffocating.

A burst of restless music drifted from afar; the night seemed excessively peaceful.

Everything seemed normal.

Seems normal?

No, that's perfectly normal.

Matthäus suppressed the strange feeling rising in his chest and turned back to the black plastic bag containing the money.

They lay quietly in the corner, without any sign of being moved.

The sea breeze rustled through the trees.

Ok?
A rustling sound?
wrong!

He finally realized where the problem lay.

How could a bag filled with more than 200 kilograms of banknotes be blown by the wind?

damn it.

That can only mean one thing.

Matthäus felt dizzy and crouched down, his hands trembling as he untied the knot that was tied to it.

The fire leaped higher and higher in the darkness, casting Zhou Yi's face in shifting light and shadow.

Suddenly, the flames seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, tumbling and spinning in mid-air, eventually transforming into burning characters:

Zhou Yi glanced at the countdown screen, then turned and went back inside.

"Don't move," he casually ordered Thiago.

After saying that, he raised his hand and aimed it at Ramon's forehead, then pulled the trigger.

There was a gunshot.

Ramon slumped in his chair, blood trickling down the floor.

Thiago jolted violently, his face turning deathly pale.

She stole a glance at Zhou Yi, only to meet the man's gaze.

The undisguised murderous intent made his heart pound like a drum, and he could hardly breathe.

Thiago's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and he almost instinctively took two steps back.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his throat seemed blocked, and he couldn't utter a single syllable. Fortunately, the relief came quickly.

"boom!"

The gunshot rang out again, and the bullet pierced Thiago's forehead.

"thump!"

The body fell to the ground.

Zhou Yi strolled out of the room, pushed his motorcycle and rode for a while until he saw a road leading into the city in the distance before stopping.

All he has left is a Glock 17, a gift from Ramon.

Rugged and durable, it's the perfect choice for murder and robbery.

He bent down and pulled out the magazine; there were 13 bullets left inside.

The firepower is a bit insufficient.

Thinking it over, he pushed the magazine back into the gun, pulled the slide, and quickly released it after hearing a crisp click of chambering.

He then tucked the pistol back into his waistband and covered it with the hem of his shirt.

Just as this process was completed, the system's actual tasks were also loaded.

[World Code: PA-39472]

[Official Mission: Fulfill Gina Lopez's Wish]

[Punishment for failure]

Just then, the system refresh was suddenly interrupted.

[Target is in imminent danger. Please proceed immediately to the marked location on the map to avoid mission failure!]

[Target is in imminent danger. Please proceed immediately to the marked location on the map to avoid mission failure!]

[Target is in imminent danger. Please proceed immediately to the marked location on the map to avoid mission failure!]

Immediately afterwards, it redirected directly to an interface similar to Amap (Gaode Maps).

The navigation destination is located on a female figure icon in the city center.

He wore a sharp black suit and had bright, striking features.

She had wheat-colored skin, a high nose bridge, full lips, and long hair tied back.

Seeing that the system was pressing him hard, Zhou Yi didn't delay any longer. He quickly stepped on the kickstand, started the engine, and sped off on the dilapidated road.

However, the good times didn't last long, and soon the low fuel warning light came on.

The mechanical voice in my ears kept repeating itself tirelessly.

Cursing under his breath, Zhou Yi slammed on the brakes, forcing a black sedan to a stop in the middle of the road.

The screeching sound of brakes ripped through the night sky, and the car owner tumbled and scrambled out of the vehicle, cursing angrily at him.

Without time to explain, Zhou Yi pulled out a wad of US dollars from her pocket and tossed it to the man.

Before the other party could react, he quickly bent down and climbed into the driver's seat.

I floored the accelerator, the engine roared to life, and the car shot off like a wild dog released from its cage.

All that remained was a bewildered figure in the rearview mirror, clutching several thousand dollars and unsure what to do.

Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, and the highway patrol in El Salvador weren't very dedicated, allowing Zhou Yi to reach the scene smoothly at a speed of just over 200 miles per hour.

It was an empty street, with towering buildings forming deep alleyways on both sides, and neon lights casting a faint glow on the damp pavement.

Not far away, a woman came into view, walking hurriedly, her movements revealing obvious panic.

She kept glancing back, as if she were avoiding something.

Zhou Yi squinted and drove the car closer.

He stopped at the corner, rolled down the window, leaned out and asked the woman, "Gina Lopez?"

The woman stopped abruptly, frozen in place for a long moment.

She then raised her head, feigning composure, a look of surprise and doubt flashing in her eyes.

"You've got the wrong person."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and quickly walked back.
