Chapter 925

.

Lijian Province, June 1th, 7: 97 PM.

Manhattan, New York City.

Manhattan was a peninsula, and one of the Angel Council's weapons storage sites was located in the northeast corner of Manhattan Central Park.

When Raphael received news that the weapons storage site in the northeast corner of Manhattan Central Park was being investigated by NYPD, he decided to escape to a safe house outside the city.

The Angel Council had arranged for many safe houses around New York City, and the closest safe house to Raphael was on Wards Island. Shi Lei had initially predicted that Raphael would escape to the safe house on Wards Island.

However, something unexpected happened. Raphael actually wanted to go to the weapons storage site in the northeast corner of Central Park. Fortunately, Shi Lei had already dealt with the problem of the weapons storage site. NYPD was counting the total number of weapons at the weapons storage site and earning military service!

Since there was a problem with the weapons storage site in the northeast corner of Central Park, Raphael's safe house naturally moved to Wards Island. The other safe houses were a little too far away from Wards Island. Coupled with the excellent security equipment on Wards Island, it was Raphael's best choice.

Raphael's current location was at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 11th Street.

The closest and smoothest route to Wards Island from Fifth Avenue was to turn from Fifth Avenue to 11th Street, and then enter the FDR highway from 11th Street. It would be a smooth journey to the opposite shore of Wards Island, and then cross the bridge to enter Wards Island.

Izur was monitoring the bulletproof car that Raphael was in. The route of the bulletproof car was exactly as Shi Lei had predicted. This road was pretty much a road of death!

On the third floor of a residential area at the intersection of the FDR highway and 48rd Street, Li Zifeng had set up an anti-materiel sniper rifle and was waiting for Raphael's arrival.

If one was familiar with the topography of New York City, they would know that Li Zifeng's ambush location was very reliable. The building at the intersection of the FDR highway and 48rd Street was right next to the FDR highway. It was within fifty meters, and was the perfect location for sniping.

If Raphael had passed through the FDR highway and Izur had informed Li Zifeng in advance, Raphael would have definitely been sniped by Li Zifeng.

At the same time, Shi Lei was rushing to Wards Island. Since Shi Lei knew Raphael's whereabouts first, Shi Lei would reach Wards Island before Raphael and prepare a trap for Raphael.

…

Fifth Avenue.

In the bulletproof car, Raphael ordered Tang Kaen, "Go to Wards Island!"

Within the framework of the Angel Council, Tang Kaen had access to Level Seven. Tang Kaen knew all the safe houses around New York City. The safe house on Wards Island, among the safe houses around New York City, had the highest safety rating. It had a variety of escape systems and could even withstand the attack of medium missiles.

"Yes, Mr. Raphael." Tang Kaen turned the steering wheel and left Fifth Avenue. Just as Shi Lei predicted, he entered 11th Street.

On the other hand, on the FDR highway, Shi Lei was driving a 'black car' to Wards Island to ambush Raphael.

Shi Lei's third purpose in coming to Lijian Province was to steal the information in the secret internal server of the Angel Council. However, the existence of the Angel Council's pseudo-artificial intelligence system, Abeltil, had ruined Shi Lei's plan.

Fortunately, there was still a surprise waiting for Shi Lei. Raphael, one of the four giants of the Angel Council, was indeed at the headquarters of the Angel Fund Investment Management Company.

Shi Lei's third purpose was to kill Raphael. Shi Lei wanted to kill Raphael!

Shi Lei had already killed two of the four giants and three minor giants of the Angel Council. Uriel, one of the four giants, was an important helper of the Angel Council. However, Shi Lei had killed him. Dusker, the Angel of Dusk, was also killed by Shi Lei.

Shi Lei hoped that Raphael would follow in Uriel's footsteps.

At the intersection of the FDR highway and 48rd Street, Li Zifeng was waiting quietly. The voice of a young man simulated by Izur came from his Bluetooth headset. "Captain Li, please be careful. The target is three kilometers away from the ambush point."

Li Zifeng secretly guessed Izur's identity. Shi Lei did not explain Izur's identity. He only said that there would be long-range support. However, he did not explain in detail who would provide the long-range support.

"Roger that!" Li Zifeng replied curtly. He thought to himself, "Could this long-range support be the artificial intelligence system of Mirage Technology?"

Recently, the news that Mirage Technology and Dream Entertainment had artificial intelligence systems had spread all over the world. Not only were the relevant industry personnel investigating this matter, but even some ordinary netizens were also aware of it. Especially the players in the Hero's World. They firmly believed that Dream Entertainment had artificial intelligence systems. Otherwise, in the Hero's World, more than a million non-player characters had virtual personalities.

Ordinary computer industry personnel could not distinguish artificial intelligence systems from pseudo-artificial intelligence systems. How could ordinary netizens tell the difference?

Li Zifeng also did not understand the difference between artificial intelligence systems and pseudo-artificial intelligence systems. He simply guessed that the artificial intelligence system that was providing him with long-range monitoring support was the artificial intelligence system of Mirage Technology.

The three-kilometer distance indicated by Izur was only two minutes for a car traveling at a speed of more than 655 kilometers per hour.

Li Zifeng focused. He had to make sure that he could hit the target in one shot to prevent Raphael's bulletproof car from escaping.

"Captain Li, we're counting down from five seconds. The target will appear in your line of sight. Five, four, three, wait, Captain Li, something happened to the target! "As Izur was reminding Li Zifeng, an emergency situation suddenly occurred.

The bulletproof car that Raphael was in had chosen to slow down. The reason was that a huge van had appeared behind the bulletproof car that Raphael was in. The bulletproof car that Raphael was in had slowed down and maintained the same speed as the van. It used the van's huge cargo box as a shield to block all possible attacks.

The traffic rules of Lijian Province were different from those of Mr. Xia. The bulletproof car that Raphael was in was driving on a road that was close to the East River. The van was to the left of the bulletproof car that Raphael was in, and further to the left were vehicles going in the opposite direction.

When the bulletproof car that Raphael was in passed by Li Zifeng's gathering point, Li Zifeng did not have a good opportunity to snipe because of the huge van. In order not to alert the enemy, Li Zifeng had no choice but to give up on sniping Raphael.

"Boss, the sniping failed. The target is on the way to Wards Island!" Li Zifeng quickly reported to Shi Lei through his Bluetooth headset. Although Li Zifeng did not complete the mission, he still reported the result to Shi Lei directly.

Shi Lei was not angry. Instead, he comforted him. "Zifeng, it's fine if the sniping failed! Don't worry, the target won't run away! "

Li Zifeng heaved a sigh of relief and apologized. "I'm sorry, boss. I'll leave everything to you!"

Shi Lei did not care. "It's okay, Zifeng. We're a team. People make mistakes, and horses stumble. Contact the others and get ready to carry out the second set of plans. If anything happens, carry out the second set of plans immediately. Understand? "

"Understood!" Li Zifeng said with certainty. "Boss, please don't worry. This time, there won't be any accidents."

Shi Lei did not say anything else. Instead, he stopped at Wards Island, about 855 meters away from the safe house of the Angel Council. Shi Lei took out a guitar case from the trunk of the "black car" and carried the guitar case on his back. He walked towards a small six-story building next to the safe house of the Angel Council.

Shi Lei used his self-taught [Lockpicking] skill to open the door to the rooftop. On the rooftop, he opened the guitar case and assembled the anti-material sniper rifle inside.

Shi Lei was wearing tactical gloves that would not leave fingerprints, sweat, or any other information that could expose his identity. When the anti-material sniper rifle was assembled, Shi Lei did not set it up immediately. Instead, he followed the route he had observed in advance and installed a rapid descent device on the rooftop of the six-story building.

Through the rapid descent device, Shi Lei could quickly go down from the sixth floor to the first floor. Moreover, the rapid descent device's destination was where Shi Lei parked the "black car" so that Shi Lei could quickly escape the scene.

"Izur, where is the target?" Shi Lei asked.

"Sir, the target is still on the FDR highway. It's about three minutes away from Wards Island. The target will enter the ambush range within six minutes and twenty to seven minutes and thirty-eight seconds. "Izur judged the situation.

On the FDR highway, the bulletproof car that Raphael was in was moving side by side with a large van. With the help of the large van's body, they were able to block any possible trouble that might come their way.

"Tang Kaen, how long will it take for us to reach Wards Island?" Raphael asked. Only in the safe house did Raphael feel a little safe.

Mr. M's strength and omnipotence had scared Raphael out of his wits. He desperately wanted to enter the safe house to hide. Then, he would wait for the Angel Council to send a rescue team to pick him up.

"Mr. Raphael, if there is no traffic jam at the Kennedy Bridge, we will be there in about seven to eight minutes," Tang Kaen replied.

Raphael's nerves relaxed a little. "Seven to eight minutes? There should be no problem for the rest of the journey! "Raphael comforted himself.

Five minutes later, the bulletproof car that Raphael was in was about to enter Shi Lei's field of vision. The Angel Council had very high standards for choosing a safe house. One of the requirements was a wide field of vision. As long as the bulletproof car that Raphael was in entered the safe house's field of vision, it would appear in the safe house's field of vision. There was no way for them to hide.

The wide field of vision was originally a measure to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on them. Now, it had become a good condition for Shi Lei to deal with Raphael. After another minute, Shi Lei set up the anti-material sniper rifle and waited for Raphael's arrival.

"Sir, the target will appear in your field of vision in five to ten seconds." Izur hinted the time range. This was because even Izur could not accurately determine whether the bulletproof car that Raphael was in would drive faster or slower. So, he provided the time range.

Seven seconds later, Shi Lei saw the bulletproof car that Raphael was in through the scope of the anti-material sniper rifle. He also saw Raphael sitting in the middle of the back seat.

The scope of the anti-material sniper rifle was aimed at Raphael's chest.
