Chapter 813: Chapter 364: A Winter Month

To be honest, the red wine spaghetti wasn’t bad at all. Lin Wu, to make up for inadvertently upsetting Lin Meng, heaped praise on her noodle dish, leaving Lin Meng momentarily feeling like she had mastered the essence of French cuisine, thinking she’d reincarnated as a culinary god.

Time wasted to-ing and fro-ing, and soon it was time for the assassination. When Lin Wu explained the plan and left the house, Lin Meng was terrified, "You’re planning to assassinate here? Here? An assassination?"

"Yeah!"

Lin Meng said, "We have quite a few neighbors."

"For instance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door in front opened and a man stepped out. He courteously tipped his hat in greeting upon seeing Lin Wu and Lin Meng. Lin Wu raised his pistol and killed him, "Now we have one less neighbor."

"Ah..." Lin Meng was temporarily unable to accept it.

Lin Wu handed Lin Meng the pistol, "Kill them all, all of them."

Lin Meng felt like crying, "The entire four floors?"

"If necessary, the whole building."

Another woman stepped out, about to greet them politely, but first she saw the body on the ground. Lin Wu looked at Lin Meng. Meng saw the woman’s eyes widen, about to scream, she raised her pistol with closed eyes and shot her dead.

"Good job."

I’m sorry! Lin Meng squinted her eyes in sorrow, apologizing to the corpse and blaming the cruel employer she reluctantly worked under.

Lin Wu walked over to the corridor window, pushed it open, and stepped back to a spot one meter from the window. This made it hard for anyone outside to spot him. He then picked up the Silencer and inspected it for a while, hoping the German would arrive on time. Suddenly, a soft gunshot was heard from behind, and Lin Wu turned to see a man fall. The door across opened, Lin Meng stepped forward and fired into the door, then casually shut it.

Well done, you can’t be polite to NPCs.

They watched a while longer, and as it neared eight o’clock, a black sedan approached from the east, began to slow down, and gradually stopped in front of the headquarters. An officer quickly descended the steps and helped open the car door for a middle-aged man dressed in a general’s uniform who emerged from the car and exchanged a few words with the officer.

Something wasn’t right. Lin Wu couldn’t see the General’s face; he could only see the back of his head. He felt something was off because the General didn’t close the car door, nor did the officer help him. Most importantly, the General stood still for 15 seconds as if waiting to be shot.

"What’s wrong?" Executioner Lin Meng came over to see what was happening.

"I don’t think he’s our target."

"Why?"

"It’s too easy. Also, it’s still a minute to eight, it just doesn’t feel like Dawn’s typical behavior."

"It’s just a minute."

While they talked, the General handed some documents to the officer, they shook hands and the General returned to the car, which then left. The officer remained, holding the documents, waiting at the roadside, and soon another black car arrived. The officer opened the door for the driver.

This time it was different—when the General emerged from the car, he walked forward, with the officer following him, partially shielding most of the shooting range.

"It’s him." Lin Wu pulled the trigger, shot the officer dead, and after cycling the bolt, killed the stunned unprotected General.

"Let’s go."

Lin Wu turned back to see the bodies scattered on the ground, gave a shocked thumbs up, and Lin Meng, on the verge of tears, hurried after Lin Wu. They quickly descended the stairs and upon exiting the apartment building, they heard the piercing sound of alarms from the headquarters.

They got in the car, turned on the ignition, damn... a manual transmission. Calculates upon calculates, no, miscount twice.

Lin Wu had never seen such a thing on Blue Star and had only encountered it once in a game—the car Stone drove at the start of the game was a manual.

Lin Wu listened to Stone brag before, and after recalling for three seconds, he released the handbrake and tried to rev the engine. Unexpectedly, the car started moving slowly, although the revving sound and the speed were a bit disproportionate.

After three seconds, Lin Wu realized: the car was rolling.

Lin Meng in the passenger seat said, "There’s a manual driving guide here." It was stuck in front of the passenger seat.

Lin Wu leaned in to see, only spotting the diagrams; the text was too small. Leaning in closer, oh, the clutch, oh, like this, like this.

Lin Wu pressed the clutch, shifted gears, and the car jolted a few times but started moving. Lin Wu was thrilled to change gear, then the engine stalled. Taking it slow, he started the car again, shifted into second gear, and it stalled again. Fine, first gear will do.

With the engine revving up to 4500 RPM, the car moved forward at 30 km/h, making a lot of noise and drawing glances from passersby, yet it indeed moved. Seeing a gentle downward slope ahead, Lin Wu said, "Switch places, you drive."

"Now? I can’t. I haven’t memorized it yet." Lin Meng tried to cram last minute, frantically studying the driving guide. Lin Wu nudged her aside and reluctantly switched to the driving seat, nearly driving onto the curb in the process.

By then, more tricycles appeared on the road, seemingly unaware the two were villains, passing by in a rush towards the headquarters. Given Lin Wu’s understanding of Dawn, he wouldn’t cause such a scene without reason, so he got the assault rifle and pistol ready.

"Lin Wu, Lin Wu, which way?" asked Lin Meng with a river ahead and uncertain which way to go.

Lin Wu replied, "Turn right, follow the river."

"Okay."

A tricycle caught up from behind, the driver glanced down at Lin Wu, who grinned and showed his identification next to his face. The driver leaned closer, saw clearly, and nodding cordially warned, "Hello, Teacher Namo rate, the school is in the opposite direction."

"Thank you," Lin Wu responded.

The driver puzzled, gestured behind, "The school is that way."

Mind your own business! Lin Wu extended his right hand and shot the driver dead with his pistol. The tricycle immediately crashed into the street, and Lin Wu shouted, "Step on the gas, quickly, quickly, quickly. Stop the car, stop the car, get out."
