Chapter 8: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
"Are you saying that I was deceived?" Vince's expression was grim
That's right! Zhao Ze snapped his fingers and said, "The big deal Vince mentioned is to have someone named Hernan Reyes steal three cars, but Vince doesn't know that he has actually been deceived."
The film does not elaborate on this part of the plot. Brian drives the car, first taking Vince to the foot of the slums, watching him go to meet Dominic, and then brings Mia and Zhao Ze to the station
Thus, the matter was settled. The four agreed to set off together the next day. At that time, Zhao Ze would act alone, citing a lack of experience in this area, and that rashly joining in could likely affect the operation. As for what the other three should do, they would continue to follow the original plan.
This single-person aircraft from "Tomorrow's World" is both lightweight and user-friendly. It only requires a ten-minute charge to fly at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour for one hour. If the speed is reduced, the flight time can be further extended
In the real world, Paul Walker is no longer with us, while in the cinematic universe, Brian O'Conner remains vibrant and full of life. Reflecting on the fact that there will be no appearance of Brian in "Fast & Furious 8," this man, who is both affectionate and devoted to his wife, has seemingly become a symbol
Knowing that there was nothing useful to ask, Brian simply said: "The bet is still in effect, I want to know what will happen tomorrow"
"How did you get in?" Brian asked, his eyes wide open and a look of confusion on his face
The three individuals across from me remained silent, no one could maintain their composure in the face of such a large sum of money
A total of 100 million US dollars in cash is stored in multiple warehouses throughout the city, with the locations of these warehouses recorded on a chip. This is the reason why Hernan Reyes is determined to retrieve the chip at all costs
After the three gunshots, Zizi, the most capable subordinate of Hernan Reyes, fell into a pool of blood
Due to the excessive amount of contraband on his person, in order to evade security checks, Zhao Ze could only enter the train station platform using an aircraft after purchasing a train ticket
Zhao Ze's movements were extremely agile, as he descended with the ease of lifting weights. Perhaps realizing that his entrance was too flamboyant, he deliberately put on a smile and greeted Dominic.
Mia was more surprised than he was; just a moment ago, when the three of them parted, she clearly saw Zhao Ze walking towards the station exit
On that night, Zhao Ze hardly slept at all. The heat combined with the humidity made him sweat continuously, and since there was no air conditioning in the Vince household, he felt as if he was on the verge of heatstroke as the departure approached
Zhao Zexin knew that Dominic was most likely still with Hernan. When a shootout broke out among Reyes's men, he no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was drawn to the commotion in the rear carriage, he stood up and walked towards the front carriage, stopping at the junction between the two carriages
The propulsion system of the aircraft utilizes plasma jet technology, which is both silent and environmentally friendly. Previously, Zhao Ze had conducted multiple attempts, and now using it comes naturally to him.
What is special about this chip? Why do the people of Hernan Reyes want to obtain it? Brian pressed for more information
One hundred million! Brian, Mia, and Vince simultaneously gasped; for them, this amount of money was nothing short of astronomical
Only Vince still feels a bit uneasy, "This is Hernan Reyes' money. What we are doing is courting death. Do you know how terrifying he is?"
This is the real big deal! Zhao Ze revealed a malicious smile, How about it, do you want to take a shot? As long as you can swallow this sum of money, you won't have to worry about anything for the rest of your life
This issue is quite difficult to explain; perhaps it would be better to wait until we see Dominic later. Zhao Ze shrugged casually, as he certainly could not say that he flew onto the platform
Bang
"It seems that you really want to join us, why?" Brian has always been puzzled by this; what benefits could there be in joining a seemingly precarious gang?
Faced with such a large sum of money, it would be disingenuous to say one is not tempted; even Brian, the former federal detective, felt his heart rate increase significantly
Upon witnessing Zhao Ze's entrance, especially that thing behind him, Brian's eyes nearly bulged out as he exclaimed, "What the hell is that thing?"
Zhao Ze took a deep breath; it seemed that unleashing a massacre was not particularly difficult for him, though his hands and feet felt slightly numb, indicating that he had not yet fully adapted
Because he learned in advance from Zhao Ze that Mia was pregnant, Brian's thoughts are now largely focused on Mia. If it were not for the lack of personnel, he would even prefer not to involve Mia in this operation.
Brian remains the same as in the original storyline, acting like a reckless madman, hanging onto the back of a modified car by nothing more than a rope
Clap! Clap! Clap!
At 4:00 AM, Zhao Ze set out from Vince's house with Brian and others
However, when Dominic saw a living person flying outside the carriage, the usually calm and composed Big Boss Tang was also momentarily stunned.
More than ten minutes later, an explosion was heard from the rear carriage of the train, and several narcotics officers responsible for escorting the transport rushed out of their seats in a panic
Of course, it depends on how Dominic arranges it, as he will be in charge of this operation. Zhao Ze waved his hand, trying to distance himself as much as possible, saying, "When we see Dominic tomorrow, he will make the right choice."
Zhao Ze opened his mouth and chuckled, "He should be on the way now. Why not take a guess whether Dominic will invite me to join him?"
From the perspective of the film's plot, it is difficult to say that Vince was aware of Hernan Reyes's true intentions in advance; however, after Zhao Ze's reminder, he somewhat guessed what was going on
Vince's expression grew increasingly grim, yet he remained silent.
Fortunately, Brian did not intend to probe further, but instead began to whisper to Mia beside him
Brian and Mia took on the roles of attacker and protector, respectively, and soon managed to steal the access card, successfully entering the rear carriage.
With the death of the two individuals, the modified vehicle came to a halt, and Brian, who was pulling a cable from behind, also let out a sigh of relief
While passing through the security check at the station, Zhao Ze separated from the team and found a secluded corner by himself, from which he took out a T-shaped flying device from his backpack behind him
Vince gritted his teeth and slammed the table one last time, saying, "As long as Dom agrees, I have no objections"
Hi! Boss Tang, I... wait a moment!
"Master Tang, do you want to experience the feeling of flying in the sky?"
"Are you saying that there is something hidden in those three cars?" Mia, with her keen mind, quickly grasped the meaning behind Zhao Ze's words
Zhao Ze flew over from the train and, in the blink of an eye, reached the side of that dilapidated modified vehicle
Zhao Ze glanced at the time on his watch, made a rough estimate, and began to make preparations.
The car window was shattered by a gunshot from Zhao Ze, and he brought his legs together. The device on his back automatically emitted a pale blue tail flame, and the strong thrust propelled him out of the car window.
At the moment when Zhao Ze was lost in thought, Brian and Mia, sitting opposite him, exchanged a serious glance and stood up simultaneously
I will go help Dominic, you drive this car!" Zhao Ze said to Brian, then took off from the ground and flew towards the train in the distance
Thus, when Brian and Mia boarded the train, they found Zhao Ze already seated with his legs crossed.
Brian was the first to react, "What do you plan to do?"
As he watched the two people in their sweet and loving demeanor, Zhao Ze felt a myriad of emotions in his heart
Dominic naturally did not fear, but instead revealed a slight smile, "Vince has mentioned you to me, but he did not mention that you had such a good thing. Are you sure this thing can support me?"
"Indeed, you have been deceived by Hernan Reyes," Zhao Ze continued. "Hernan Reyes is the underground ruler of this city, and you are well aware of this. If that is the case, why would he need to ask you to help him steal a car? Can he not afford a few cars? The reason he asked you to steal a car is merely to find a scapegoat."
At that moment, a commotion arose from the carriage ahead. Zhao Ze knew that this was not the time for pleasantries, so he extended his hand towards Dominic.
"Trust me, it is really difficult to explain, and there is no way to explain it." Faced with Brian's probing questions, Zhao Ze could only resort to the reason that he could not provide an explanation
"Are you so sure you will see my brother?" Mia asked with a puzzled expression
In fact, Zhao Ze did not participate in this operation, which instead made Brian and the other two feel more at ease. Moreover, they did not completely let their guard down against Zhao Ze, unless what he said could be proven true by tomorrow
After leaving the train, Zhao Ze immediately saw the fierce battle taking place in the rear carriage
Without waiting for the two individuals in the open driving cabin to react, Zhao Ze raised his gun and fired several shots at them, nearly turning the two extras into a sieve
Of course, Brian and Mia would have no objections; the two have just arrived in Brazil and are still unaware of the vast influence of Hernan Reyes.
Wishing you good luck Zhao Ze whispered softly, pretending not to see the two people
Zhao Ze certainly cannot reveal his true intentions, and besides, saying "to change the plot that was once criticized" is such a lowly excuse that it is truly hard to utter
I certainly know, and I also know that he is the one running the drug trade in this entire city. But so what? Whether he is aware or not, I refuse to believe that this money cannot be made! Moreover, he has been deceiving you from the very beginning; why should you care about him? Don't tell me you are afraid.
In fact, Dominick did not need Zhao Ze's help at all; one person in the carriage was thrown out by him, and the other was beaten up by him.
Zhao Ze nodded slightly, "One of the cars has a chip in it, and that is exactly what Hernan Reyes truly desires. Vince may know this, or he may not, but Hernan Reyes certainly did not inform you that these three cars have already been seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Once the operation fails or something goes awry, you will be the scapegoat he pushes forward."
