Chapter 430: Fortunately you are making games, otherwise it would be of no benefit to society |
The chat barrage erupted—
‘OHHHHHHHH—this is fucking gorgeous!!!’
‘Who could say no to a flying card move?’
“Damn! Why does Old Thief’s acting look so natural!!!”
“Seriously! Gao Jin! God of Gambling!!!”
“Step on it! Wait wait wait!”
“HAHAHAHA holy shit why can you play BGM through chat!”
“Kind of has that Azu vibe…”
The scene had both Dragon Uncles absolutely losing it…
No pause!
Amid the raucous chat, Gu Sheng strode to the meeting room door, swiped the manager keycard, and opened it.
On the small whiteboard was written, in bold: [Administrator: Bill Lesley]
“Bill Lesley.”
Gu Sheng muttered once into the squad voice channel.
Then he turned and headed for the back door, leaving the garage.
At the same time, Lu Bian and Da Jiang also replied in the squad channel at once:
“Received.”
“Copy.”
They needed to find the employee workstation of this Bill Lesley in the cubicle maze,
then implant overwrite code on his computer to unlock the sports car key vault on the ground floor.
That operation drew an exclamation from Ayin and the others watching:
“OHH—holy shit! That’s how they do it!”
“Old Thief goes solo, the other two wait in the office,”
“Once he gets the admin’s name, both of them start searching simultaneously!”
“No wonder they’re so fast! Insane!”
“They’re fucking slick!”
“Oh right, they make the games, of course they’re slick…”
In just a moment!
Lu Bian’s voice sounded in the squad comms:
“I found him. Starting overwrite.”
“Copy copy.”
The brothers all replied.
Meanwhile!
Gu Sheng, who had been on the second floor, slipped out the back door of the garage and went to their van. From another cylindrical bag he pulled out four bundles of plastic explosives.
He checked the time—one and a half minutes had passed.
In the distance down the street, sirens wailed, coming closer and closing in on the garage.
“Heads up, the cops are coming.”
Gu Sheng stood in the street across from the garage holding the explosives.
Police cruisers quickly surrounded the garage; officers poured out with pistols raised, ready for action.
No one noticed Gu Sheng across the street.
So no one noticed that he had already planted the four bundles of explosives.
The bearded chief stepping down from the lead cruiser held a megaphone and shouted:
“People inside, listen up! You are surrounded!”
“Surrender immediately! Or we will assault!”
“If you choose to resist the police! In the end…”
Before he finished—
CRASH!!!
The glass curtain wall outside the garage shattered. Moriya’s AK-47 flashed, bullets spiraling straight into the shouting chief’s head with a devastating hit!
Bang—!!!
Chaos!
Every officer ducked!
With that gunshot, the scene literally detonated!
The livestream exploded—
‘WTF! Wolf down!’
Sure enough, nobody working at GW was ordinary (thinking)
“Wait? Working? Shouldn’t it be job?” “They call it work? Look what these people do normally!”
So savage—if they have guns, they really fire them.
Golden Wind Heist Crew—name earned!
“Seriously, are there really robbers this crazy in the world? I mean if this weren’t a game…”
“Your imagination is weak. Don’t even talk about overseas; Huaguo had cases like this in the nine-year era.”
“This is giving me chills…”
Firestorms crisscrossed!
Although the police outnumbered them,
the three robbers inside the garage wielded terrifying firepower!
AKs and shotguns—any officer trying to rush in would take two blasts.
Plus they held over a dozen hostages; the police hesitated to act recklessly.
Thankfully!
SWAT support was already on the way and would arrive in less than half a minute!
“Hold on!” a squad leader yelled hoarsely from behind a car door.
“SWAT reinforcements are almost—”
!!!
A muffled shot cut him off.
Everyone around was stunned!
Turning, they saw a robber wearing a demon mask casually holding a Pecheneg PKP general-purpose machine gun!
He stood behind them, head tilted as he watched the firefight.
The whole garage area dropped into a half-second dead silence!
Then—
rat-a-tat-tat—!!!
Ripping gunfire seemed to shred eardrums!
Officers within twenty meters fell like harvested wheat!
A metal storm of bullets wove an impenetrable wall of fire; brass casings clinked and scattered as Gu Sheng moved, sprinkling the ground!
When he reached the police cruiser beside him—thud!
He tossed the general-purpose gun aside, dove into the vehicle, and slammed the gas!
CRASH!
The enraged cruiser plowed through nearby vehicles and smashed into the garage, forcing a straight path!
Next!
A twisted, deformed car door was kicked open. Gu Sheng leapt out and saw Lu Bian walking toward him:
“Security door unlocked! Brothers! Keys, get in! We’ve got the haul!!!”
Saying that,
Lu Bian tossed his hand up!
Swish—
Snap!
A brand-new Bugatti key traced an arc through the air and landed perfectly in Gu Sheng’s palm!
Viewers were stunned!
Savage! Precise! Arrogant to the core!
In broad daylight, he stood on the street brandishing a general-purpose machine gun and sweeping fire!
Everyone’s hearts dropped cold!
It was like a hyper-real police-and-robbers scene in a virtual sensory chamber!
Gu Sheng, taking the Bugatti key, flashed and dove into the supercar!
With the four supercar doors closing!
The time froze at 2min59s77!
Not a second more, not a second less!
From here on, they had to deliver the “merchandise” to the dock containers while police pursued them like mad!
YEAH!!!
As the Bugatti’s engine roared, the in-car track “PimpedOutGetaway” blared.
This remix of the nursery rhyme “Jingle Bells” into electronic music was absurdly comical yet beat-heavy, making people can’t help tapping their feet!
CRASH—WHOOSH—!!!
Display case glass shattered!
Lu Bian’s blood-red Ferrari streaked out like a trail of bleeding fire!
Then!
Da Jiang and Moriya’s two Lamborghinis barreled out!
Finally, Gu Sheng’s pricey ultra-luxurious Bugatti!
The path Gu Sheng had rammed open with the cruiser
just barely allowed all four cars to pass!
Viewers were practically standing—
‘ohhhhhh—holy shit! Death race!’
“This music is so flashy! Amazing!”
‘Ding ding dong ding ding, let’s put on masks and rob the garage!’
“Look at them! Look at them!!!”
“Jesus! So badass!”
Two minutes forty seconds—faster than me picking up a car.
“Mainly they drove away with four cars.”
“One thing’s for sure, isn’t this better than any cop movie?”
“Movie studios should learn from this; this is the most thrilling cop film I’ve seen in years.”
“Boss move.”
Indeed, they made games for their own fun.
“Lucky you work in games, otherwise you’d do nothing for society.”
“But where the hell are they driving to?”
……
Many viewers were new and didn’t know Gu Sheng’s crew route.
They watched the lead Ferrari crash toward the opposite building and were shocked.
What’s happening?
Such a cleanly brutal robbery just to crash a Ferrari and kill themselves???
However!
Before anyone could finish that thought,
the Ferrari was already on the avenue!
SWAT convoy vehicles flanked left and right, about to box the four in!
At that instant!
A flash of fire lit the avenue!
Then a massive blast boomed!!!
Boom!!!
The explosion ripped the ground open, gouging a huge hole in the road!
WHOOSH—!!!
Gu Sheng’s Bugatti tore through the inferno and dove into the hole.
Viewers realized—
The Golden Wind Heist Crew had calculated an escape route!
Beneath that hole was an unfinished, under-construction underground tunnel!
A masterful map design!
The audience screamed in astonishment!
Inside the tunnel, the car stereo was cranked to max!
Brassy trumpet licks and electronic nursery-rhyme remixes thundered through the underpass!
Hey hey—!!!
Sparks flew as car undersides scraped the unfinished road!
Two police interceptors followed the Bugatti into the tunnel!
The roaring wind and ripping engines tore the silence apart!
Turns, drifts.
In the maze-like tunnel, a heart-stopping car battle erupted!!
Rat-tat—rat-tat-tat—
Gun barrels poked out from the interceptors, firing at Gu Sheng’s Bugatti!
Gu Sheng dodged skillfully, calm as a pond; he even lowered his window, peeled off his mask, and tossed it backward!
Whoosh!
The demon mask fluttered and spun, crushed to bits under the pursuing interceptor!
He flipped the bird—a single extended middle finger—mocking the impotent vehicle behind him.
SWAT’s enraged bullets struck the Bugatti’s tire, sparking!
Gu Sheng withdrew his hand.
After a moment, the engraved Desert Eagle slid out.
Clang—clang—
Brass casings skittered and rang on the speeding asphalt, producing a crisp ringing as they bounced.
Screeeeech—
The tires screamed!
A pursuing interceptor flipped over!
A sudden high-speed blowout sent SWAT into total loss of control; they slammed into the road embankment—
Boom—crash!!!
Flames roared!
Gu Sheng slammed the gas—
Vroom—
The Bugatti vanished in dust!
With a dramatic drift!
At the dock, the four supercars pulled up in perfect formation.
As a tarp whooshed over the cars, Gu Sheng climbed out of the container, shut the container door, and tapped it once!
Thud!
Done!
