48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1008: Final Battleground

0 saw the four special operations team members rushing into the hotel in front of him.

As soon as they entered the hotel, 0 asked his men to seal the building. He then notified the federal police to set up a perimeter around the hotel.

However, compared to those ordinary policemen, 0 was still more willing to trust his own team. There were three emergency response team members left beside him, and if they fought the special operations team face-to-face, they were confident that they would win. However, after seeing the men with exoskeletons, 0 knew that he would need to assign someone to secure the place, lest it would be difficult for the federal police to stop those well-trained enemies. Since 0 and the emergency response team were here, they had more than enough manpower to deal with the situation.

At this time, 0 also began to think about the three people he sent to the amusement park. If all went well, they should’ve rescued No.6 by now and killed Zhang Heng. If they could get back in time, his next battle would be foolproof.

However, 0 did not receive any reply from them since he sent them a message five minutes ago. On the other hand, the federal police acquired a new update, saying that a red new energy vehicle followed them and the two police cars had gone ahead to sandwich the red car.

To their surprise, another police car appeared from nowhere. The officers mentioned that an unknown police car had attacked them before quickly disappearing at the tunnel entrance. 0 frowned. He had a bad feeling that something must’ve happened at the amusement park. Even he had to admit that he was caught off guard. Initially, he thought that three team members and more than twenty federal police were more than enough to deal with Zhang Heng. But now, it seemed he had underestimated his opponent. The three team members who were sent to the amusement park might have ended up dead.

That said, 0 was confident that he was slowly gaining control of the situation and that the remaining four members of the special operations team were now the rats in a cage. However, he did not expect Zhang Heng to eliminate the emergency response team that he had sent. This caused him a headache.

When Zhang Heng came to him with a proposal of working together, 0 agreed without any hesitation. It was because the first task that he received was to intercept the goods. He was intrigued by the man who killed two of his team members, one after the other. However, he did not take it to heart. In his opinion, there some conflict must’ve broken out on Mr. G’s side, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the emergency response team to complete their task. No matter how one looked at it, the cooperation Zhang Heng proposed would cost them nothing.

In order for a business deal to be carried out successfully, both parties had to ensure that they would get something out of the transaction, or at least they had to think that said business would be profitable. 0 sort of figured out what Zhang Heng’s purpose was. He also believed that Zhang Heng’s plan was a pipe dream at most. He was unlikely to carry out his plan successfully.

This seemingly impossible plan, however, was about to come true. Whether he liked it or not, 0 had to admit that the current situation was developing in the direction Zhang Heng wanted. A new player had been added to the game in this prey hunting business, a very dangerous hunter.

0 also felt a long-lost sense of urgency in his veins. Taking pointers from his earlier mistake, he finally determined that he’d overthrow the recently made battle plan, deciding that he did not want his men to be scattered everywhere.

This time, both sides changed positions. 0 was the one that arrived at the destination first, giving him time to make some arrangements in advance. Although half of his men had been killed, 0 had gathered a lot of information related to Zhang Heng, which was why he was confident he could get rid of him this time.

The game had just begun, and the one who had the last laugh would be the real winner.

…

On the other side, the police car driven by Zhang Heng stopped in front of a food stall. After the next intersection, the end of the trip was the Four Continents Hotel. Feng Zi remained silent for a long time until the car stopped; her hand was still tightly grasping the grips. Her knuckles had also whitened from the force she exerted on them.

It was not until Zhang Heng unfastened her seat belt that Feng Zi seemed to return to her senses. “Are we there yet?” she asked in a daze.

“Well. Yes. How are you?” Zhang Heng asked.

“I’m glad to be alive. I never want to experience something like that for the second time.”

Feng Zi looked like she just escaped death. She had always assumed that she was an incredibly courageous woman, not only among her kin but also among the men. She had never been sandwiched between two police cars before, and she was ready to sacrifice her life to get rid of them. In the end, she ended up sitting in the same car as Zhang Heng. She almost screamed her lungs out several times when Zhang Heng was driving, and until now, her heart still palpitated as though bursting from her ribcage.

Zhang Heng then grabbed a set of police uniforms from the back seat and changed into them. He then took another two pistols and carried them along with the small rifle he acquired from No.3. As for the Shrouded Sheath, he temporarily handed it to Feng Zi.

“This police car is too conspicuous. Don’t stay in it anymore. Remember the mahjong place we passed? Wait for me there. By the way, keep an eye out on the hotel’s peripheral area for me. Let me know if more police officers drive toward the hotel.”

“Understood.”

Feng Zi suppressed the nausea in her gut as she watched Zhang Heng pull out a few more magazines. She then paused and said, “Hey, you still owe me something. Make sure you come back alive to sleep with me.”

“I plan to do more than just staying alive. I’m going to surprise them,” Zhang Heng said casually.

After selecting weapons and equipment, Zhang Heng walked towards the hotel. As expected, he did not see anyone from the emergency response team. The person in charge was a sergeant of the Federal Police Department on the second level.

Zhang Heng had roughly figured out 0’s plan. The latter must’ve opted for the less risky move, giving the federal police full authority over the blockade outside the hotel. The risk of the maneuver was that if the special operations team realized that the periphery defense had weakened, they might attempt to break out from the hotel.

However, that wasn’t actually a big deal to the emergency response team. Since 0 could force them into a cage, he was confident that he could do it again. So, this was a risk that No. 0 could take. In addition, the four remaining members of the special operations team were mentally and physically exhausted after they went on a run for so long. And they might not want to go on a run anymore. So, rather than being treated like a mouse, they would prefer to try their best to fight back.

Hence, there was a high probability that this place was the venue for the final battle.
