Those who reincarnate must die.

Although the location of the explosives was determined, Zhang Lang did not intend to go to the warehouse to steal them immediately.

One reason is that the police may have moved the dangerous goods!

Second, even if there was no transfer, he couldn't have taken away twenty tons of goods, especially under the close surveillance of numerous mechanical police officers!

Therefore, he wasn't looking for this news article to find the explosives, but to find the reincarnated ones!

The news reports that the battle took place at 4:43 AM, and it's only a little past 5:15 AM now! Thank goodness for this highly information-rich world; the news is incredibly timely!

If nothing unexpected happens, these guys shouldn't have had time to escape the blockade by the robotic police and should still be lingering in the central district!

So how do we find them?

Zhang Lang subconsciously placed his hand on the external brain chip on his forehead and dialed a number.

"Feed?" A rough, deep voice came from the other end; it was Carpunk, who had given Zhang Lang the mission earlier!

"Carpunk boss... that's not fair!" Zhang Lang was the first to accuse him. "Such a good mission, and you actually assigned it to someone else? Don't you trust my abilities?"

"Oh?" The voice on the other end hesitated for a few seconds. "I don't quite understand what you're talking about?"

"What? Still doubting my abilities? I've done everything you gave me perfectly!" Zhang Lang laughed. "How long has it been since you emptied the trash can outside your bar?"

Carpunk on the other side was silent for a second.

"It seems you have a bigger background than I thought... So that's how it is. Was the special police deployment your doing?"

"Of course, my 'goods' are there, so of course I have to find a way to keep an eye on them!" Zhang Lang bluffed. "Those guys who can turn invisible, aren't they the ones who helped steal things before? How many potions do you have to dare promise so many people?"

"How did you find out about this mission?" Carpunk asked.

"Your business partners aren't very obedient; they actually sent people to follow me..."

Zhang Lang sneered:

"I know you can contact them. Tell them that if they want to know the whereabouts of their companions, they should come to Edmund's Restaurant in West J6 District! Otherwise, no matter how much influence you have in the Midtown or even the Upper Town, you can forget about getting those twenty tons of goods!"

Carpunk was silent for a few seconds: "Okay, I understand... As long as I get the goods, no matter who brought them, you'll get your share of the Stairway to God potion!"

"It's so comfortable talking to smart people!" Zhang Lang chuckled. "I'll only wait an hour; tell them to hurry!"

After hanging up the call, Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

He certainly didn't have much power, but his previous confidence and current tough stance seemed consistent. In Carpunk's eyes, he was likely a mouthpiece for a powerful figure in the Upper City. This powerful figure could mobilize police forces to disrupt his operations…

In reality, he had no control over the police force. He simply leaked information to Zhao Hanwen, indirectly disrupting the Reincarnators' operations!

That's enough! As long as Carpunk believes he has the ability, that belief is enough for Zhang Lang to extort a dose of the drug!

As for what happens next, all that's left is to quietly wait for the reincarnators to come to us!

…………

Meanwhile, in the lower city, Carpunk hung up the phone, glanced at the filthy mechanical police head on the table, frowned, dialed another number, and said somewhat exasperatedly:

"Hey, Blake, what's going on here? The time and place were all set! Why are there police guarding the area?"

"This... I don't know either..." came a somewhat anxious voice from the other end: "We had already dealt with the police, but unexpectedly, so many robotic police officers suddenly appeared in ambush..."

"Don't try to fool me!" Carpunk gritted his teeth. "With your close ties to the police, how could you not know about such a large-scale police mobilization?"

"I really didn't know before..." Blake's voice was tinged with grievance. "I only just found out that the commander behind this operation... is Zhao Hanwen!"

"Zhao Hanwen?" Carpunk's eyes widened. "A high-ranking police officer, the young master of the Zhao Group?"

"That's right, did you offend someone?" Blake gritted his teeth and said, "How did you attract the attention of such a big shot?"

Carpunk narrowed his eyes: "Okay, I think I understand... I'll hang up now, I'll contact you later!"

After hanging up the call, Carpunk let out a long sigh of relief:

"Is that guy one of Zhao Hanwen's men? It seems entrusting those guys with unknown backgrounds is indeed dangerous. I didn't expect it to alarm such a big shot... Damn it, does that mean my deal with Blake has been exposed?"

"No, I only said I wanted explosives, I didn't mention a deal to those guys... I didn't mention it to anyone..."

"It's not strange for a lowly commoner like me in the lower city to say I want high-powered weapons... Every day people curse and even hope to raze this city to the ground with nuclear weapons. If the people in the upper city took it seriously, a million robotic police wouldn't be enough to keep them busy..."

"No, we can't afford to be complacent... Since Zhao Hanwen's men have contacted me, it means they've already gotten wind of it... Maybe that's what they're after! But if they really wanted to get me, the mechanical police should already be knocking on my door... Could it be that he wants to get involved in this?"

"That makes sense. The Zhao Group just joined the Stairway to God Project. Could it be related to this incident? Is this police operation actually a signal to me? Hmph, everyone says that Officer Zhao is upright and incorruptible, and that the law is paramount. In the end, he still puts the family's interests first..."

"These wealthy families are all equally ruthless!"

After a series of analyses, both reliable and unreliable, Carpunk calmed down and contacted Carmela and the other reincarnators.

It seems that if we want the explosives, we have to get past the Zhao family...

…………

Zhang Lang waited in the bar for about half an hour. Soon, a woman with long, red, wavy hair walked in, looked around, and sat down opposite Zhang Lang.

"Hello, my name is Carmela!"

Zhang Lang looked up at her and asked, "Zhang Lang, are you here to talk about explosives?"

Carmela nodded. "But before that, I want to ask you something: where is Grumman?"

It seems they haven't found the big guy's body yet...

Zhang Lang snorted coldly: "He's no longer in this world!"

"What?!" Carmela's eyes widened in anger upon hearing this, her red hair moving without wind, and almost instantly she activated the powerful telekinetic energy within her, wishing she could tear Zhang Lang to pieces on the spot!

But just then, Zhang Lang suddenly reached out his right hand, seemingly casually but actually swiftly, and placed it on Carmela's shoulder, his thumb and forefinger gently pinching her fair neck...
