Chapter 107 Who is Khadgar Portfield?
After Li Wei entered the password into the key, the heavy vault door slowly lifted, revealing a second door behind it.
This time, there's only one keyhole.
Li Wei explained how to restore the key, insert it into the first section, turn it, push it into the second section, and continue turning it.
Following this pattern, when Li Wei pushed the entire key in, a soft "click" sounded, and the second security door opened.
A downward staircase comes into view first, followed by lights coming on inside.
When Li Wei walked down the stairs, the scene he saw made him pause in surprise.
In a space of less than 20 square meters, there were no accounts, no "medicines," only mountains of...weapons!
HK416, SCAR-H, MP7, G28, M240B……
Assault rifles, precision rifles, submachine guns, general-purpose machine guns... they even have "beacon" anti-tank missiles.
Li Wei stepped forward and casually picked out a few items to examine them briefly.
"All brand new, unused active-duty equipment..."
Something is wrong!
Something's very wrong!
This is no longer a question of whether the Viper Gang is worthy or whether they need to survive; it's something that a local gang like the Viper Gang could never do!
To say that one or two "leaks" could be attributed to the Viper Gang having some special channels, after all, "friends" seem to be a very useful thing.
But this "armory" is enough to arm an eight-man special tactical team to the teeth and support a small-scale border conflict!
This level of leakage of active-duty equipment, if examined closely, could easily be called "treason." Not to mention "friends," even "own fathers" might not be willing to take such a big risk.
Where did they get so many brand-new active-duty equipment?
Li Wei casually put the black HK416 he was holding back on the shelf and began to inspect the armory.
Soon, he found four silver aluminum briefcases lined up vertically near the ammunition boxes.
Li Wei grabbed two of them and pulled them out.
Perhaps due to over-reliance on the security of the main gate, these briefcases have no passwords, only latches.
Li Wei successfully opened the four briefcases.
The first briefcase was filled with blank passports, driver's licenses, and other identification documents.
Neither the material nor the workmanship makes it look fake to Levi.
The second briefcase contained neatly stacked piles of cash.
The old banknotes, not consecutively numbered, amount to approximately one million.
The third box contained several mobile phones and some phone cards.
In the last box...
"password?"
Looking at the only note in the fourth document box, Li Wei subconsciously made a guess.
But the next moment, he overturned this conjecture himself.
"wrong!"
"It's not a password, it's a phone number!"
Looking at the row of regular numbers, Li Wei suddenly realized.
Weapons, cash, identification, and emergency contact information.
Now he understood that this was neither a safe house nor an armory, but a "safe house".
Moreover, it's a safe house on the scale of a tactical squad.
This is not something a local gang like the Viper Gang should have. These things were prepared by the forces behind the Viper Gang, and this is one of their secret strongholds.
No wonder they dared to rebuild their "factory" here, even though it had already been shut down once.
It's likely that the forces behind the Viper Gang have ordered them to guard this place.
The forces behind the Viper Gang...
Li Wei's head throbbed slightly, but his fragmented memories told him that he seemed to know who the force behind it all was.
But the harder I tried to recall, the worse my headache became.
My brain felt like it was being pricked with needles, and my ears were ringing.
The torment, like waves crashing against the shore, grew stronger with each passing moment, causing Li Wei's body to sway.
Even so, Li Wei did not stop.
He leaned against the wall with one hand, while covering his throbbing temple with the other.
"Fuck!"
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and Li Wei almost forced out a curse through clenched teeth.
But Li Wei still couldn't recall what that force was.
But this painful reaction only strengthened Li Wei's resolve—this information must be extremely dangerous and of utmost importance!
He firmly believed it.
So Li Wei still didn't give up; he was still trying to recall.
This made his headache even worse.
Li Wei felt as if there was a thread in his head that had been stretched to its limit and might break at any moment.
Just then, a name finally broke through the fog of memory and popped into Li Wei's mind.
"Kardgar Portfield!"
As Li Wei uttered the name in a hoarse voice, he fell backward.
He stopped reminiscing and lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
The pain in his head gradually subsided, but the sensation of being stabbed in the brain by a red-hot steel rod still made Li Wei's lips twitch.
"Oh shit……"
Li Wei couldn't help but curse again.
After a long while, he finally caught his breath and sat up.
Then, his gaze fell on the fourth aluminum alloy briefcase.
Or to be more precise, he was looking at the number.
He struggled to his feet and walked to the aluminum briefcases.
Looking at the few boxes piled up haphazardly, Li Wei, supporting his knees, slowly bent down and picked up a cell phone and dialed the number.
After inserting the SIM card, Li Wei tried to turn on the phone.
Surprisingly, it opened very smoothly.
Does someone come and periodically recharge these phones?
An idea popped into Li Wei's mind.
This isn't a bad thing; on the contrary, it's a good opportunity to wait and see.
Thinking this, Li Wei did not immediately dial the phone number in the aluminum briefcase, but instead opened his browser and began searching for "Kardgar Portfield".
He opened the encyclopedia and saw three famous people named "Kardgar Portfield".
One was a rock singer from the 1970s who never had any major hits in his life, but in the end, he was "recorded in history" because he "did something big".
This guy died of a drug overdose at the age of 26. One of his wishes in his will was that his ashes be scattered on Crown Rock in Joshua Tree National Park after his death.
His stepfather disagreed and wanted to take him back to his hometown. But his best friend, who also played rock music, stole his body and used it to "illegally cremate" him, thus fulfilling his last wish.
Finally, this story was even made into a movie called "The Great Thief".
There's another one, a game character whose background is that of one of the greatest mages in the game world.
The last one is the current director of the CIA.
As to which one is the "Kardgar Portfield" in Levi's memory, it seems to be a conclusion that can be reached without thinking.
But Li Wei thought about the alchemy he was currently preparing to study in depth, and the existence of the system...
He felt that it was still necessary to be wary of the possibilities of "resurrection" and "game characters crossing over into reality."
"It seems I need to start learning alchemy as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, if the other party retaliates against us for 'seizing territory,' we might not be able to withstand it."
Since waking up, Li Wei's mood has been heavier than ever before.
But just then, a sudden sound came from outside.
"Hello, sir. Excuse me... are you still there?"
