After he asked all the information he wanted to know, Jiang Chen raised his teacup and toasted Xu Tiannan to express his gratitude.
Xu Tiannan returned the toast and waved his hand.
"Not at all, this is not worth mentioning. If Mr. Jiang has anything you want to know, please send someone to tell me. I, Xu Tiannan, will personally visit. "
"Thank you." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
Logically speaking, at this point in the conversation, offering tea was usually a way to send the guest off.
However, the old man didn't have the slightest intention to leave.
Seeing that Xu Tiannan didn't leave, Jiang Chen was confused.
"Is there anything else?"
"No, no." Xu Tiannan shook his head with a mischievous smile on his face. His eyes inadvertently looked around as if he was looking for something. "You see, it's getting late."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Pushing the door open, the soldier walked in and saluted.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
The soldier respectfully said, "Miss Yao asked me to tell you that it's time to eat."
Jiang Chen looked at the soldier and then at the smiling old man. His mouth twitched as he suddenly understood.
After all this time, he was here to get a free meal?
Jiang Chen looked at the old man, amused and annoyed, but Xu Tiannan still had the same smile on his face, pretending he didn't know anything.
This old man's skin was simply thick to a certain extent!
But after thinking about it, he did get a lot of useful information from him, so it was reasonable for him to get a free meal. What's more, food was not something valuable to him.
He was trying to win people's hearts.
So, Jiang Chen looked at the soldier and coughed. "… Ask the kitchen to add another pair of chopsticks."
"Yes." The soldier saluted and left.
…
Xu Tiannan followed the soldier to the cafeteria, while Jiang Chen returned to his barracks.
Outside the kitchen, the diligent little loli had already placed the delicious dishes on the dining table. At this moment, she was sitting at the dining table with her hands supporting her chin, looking eagerly in the direction of the window.
When she saw her beloved big brother appear outside the window, Yaoyao jumped down from the chair, jogged to the door, and opened it for him.
Looking at the little loli at the door, Jiang Chen smiled and rubbed her fluffy hair.
"Don't wait for me. You can eat first if you're hungry."
She let the big hand caress her head. Her big cute eyes were half-closed, and her long eyelashes fluttered. Her cherry lips curved into a crescent moon.
After he changed into slippers, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands and sat at the table with the girl.
Yao Yao took the spoon and filled a big bowl of rice for him.
Although this lunch was not as lively as before, it was still delicious.
Watching Jiang Chen devour the food, Yaoyao rested her chin on her hands, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her soft voice sounded happy.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious!" Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Yaoyao who hadn't moved her chopsticks yet. "Don't just watch me eat, you should eat too."
"Hehe …" Yaoyao smiled shyly and said shyly, "Yaoyao can't help in other areas, so I can only take care of big brother in daily life."
The smile was very sweet, as if it exuded a faint luster. It made people want to hold it in their hands and love it. It made people want to dye their own color on it …
Ahem, the latter half of the sentence is redundant.
Jiang Chen quickly buried his head.
When he remembered last time in the bathroom, he almost crossed the last line, it gave him a headache. Although there was no problem with her age, her childish appearance always made him feel a little guilty for having such evil thoughts …
The faint fragrance of jasmine floated in the air. It was the fragrance of a young girl.
Looking at the youthful mouth, a thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.
Speaking of which, Yaoyao also grew up …
…
After lunch, Jiang Chen didn't take a nap. Instead, he left the military base with a team of guards and walked five or six kilometers to the north.
Noon was the weakest time of the day for zombies, especially on a sunny day.
The X1 bacterial infection on the back of the neck was photosynthesizing. They were like statues standing in the middle of the street. Unless the creature was within one meter of you, even if you sneezed next to it, it would only move its head dully and stare blankly at you.
Only the zombies that had already condensed crystals would react more flexibly.
Not to mention the Marshal's personal guards, even the most ordinary hunters could easily take care of these slow-witted creatures.
Bayonets were inserted under the muzzle and the zombies that passed by were stabbed in the neck. The ones that were further away were left alone. Without firing a single shot, Jiang Chen, escorted by more than forty guards, arrived at the door of an underground garage.
Two men that looked like survivors sat on the second floor. When they saw Jiang Chen's team through the window, they immediately got up and opened the garage door. A bald man wearing a slightly old winter suit greeted Jiang Chen with a smile and bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.
"Welcome, Your Highness Marshal."
"F * ck off, stop flattering me." Jiang Chen laughed and kicked him. "I'm here to inspect the work. Hurry, take me to see."
[This guy even used the word "Your Highness."]
[I haven't seen him for a while. Zhou Guoping's other skills haven't changed much, but his flattery skills have become more and more adept.]
"Yes, yes, please come in."
Zhou Guoping touched his shiny head, grinned, and respectfully led Jiang Chen in.
He knew very well that the boss said this with a smile, which meant that his flattery at least didn't hit the nail on the head.
At the beginning of this year, the intelligence system of the Hongcheng colony was completed. After he handed over his duties, he immediately moved from Hongcheng to Shangjing and settled down on Pingan Street as an ordinary survivor.
Chu Nan's rising status made him feel a strong sense of crisis. He was afraid that one day Chu Nan would remember the things he did to offend Chu Nan and shoot him. If he didn't make any contributions, it wouldn't matter if he was killed, and the General wouldn't even feel sorry for him.
It was precisely because of this that after only a few days as the president of the NAC Mercenary Union, this guy took the initiative to beg Jiang Chen to send him out to do the tiring work that most people didn't want to do.
Without a doubt, giving up the great life in Wanghai to go out was definitely a difficult task.
Although Zhou Guoping's character was vile and he was born a predator, his loyalty was unquestionable. He had worked diligently in intelligence for more than four years, running all over the place. Even if he didn't get any credit, he still put in a lot of hard work. Jiang Chen also saw all these things.
Without an organization with a pure ideology, Jiang Chen needed a lackey.
And a lackey that could do things well.
With the guards behind him, Jiang Chen followed and examined the base Zhou Guoping built in Shangjing.
It should have been a car repair shop before the war. In the center of the warehouse, there were some rusty robotic arms and some repair tools piled up in the corner. A few people who looked like survivors stood on the side and looked in this direction respectfully.
These people were all brought by Zhou Guoping from Wanghai. There was no doubt that they were all sneaky and unscrupulous people. Jiang Chen didn't trust these people, but Zhou Guoping could use them easily.
Birds of a feather flock together.
With Jiang Chen and the guards behind him into the repair shop, Zhou Guoping ordered his men to close the garage door. The dangers on the wasteland were far more than just zombies and mutants, but also those with malicious intentions.
The guards were divided into two groups. One group stayed on the first floor, and the other group followed Jiang Chen and Zhou Guoping to the second floor.
"I want to ask you something." When Jiang Chen entered Zhou Guoping's office, he pulled out a chair and sat down. He waved his hand and signaled the two guards who followed him into the room to leave. He looked at Zhou Guoping who stood respectfully across from him. "Have you heard of Eden Technology?"
At the same time, Jiang Chen inadvertently touched his watch.
The honor chip could detect whether a person was lying by monitoring their heart rate and brain waves. Although Zhou Guoping had no reason to lie to him, it was always good to be careful.
Without noticing Jiang Chen's action, Zhou Guoping pondered for a moment and finally shook his head with regret.
"This … I've never heard of it. But if you want information in that area, I'll immediately arrange for someone to investigate. Not to mention, I'm very familiar with the entire Dongcheng area! As long as Eden Technology is in Shangjing, I'll definitely dig it out! "
Looking at Zhou Guoping's confident expression, Jiang Chen just smiled noncommittally.
After a pause, Jiang Chen continued to ask.
"Let's put Eden Technology aside for now. Have you heard of Hell Messenger?"
"I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it." Zhou Guoping nodded quickly. "The famous bar on Pingan Street, a good place for mercenaries and hunters to spend time. The most important thing is that it's the distribution center for intelligence dealers in Shangjing."
Zhou Guoping suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization.
"… I understand what you mean. If I go there to inquire, I'm sure I can get some information, hehe."
Zhou Guoping laughed. He lowered his voice, leaned closer to Jiang Chen, and said mysteriously, "Boss … ahem, General, in addition to the information that everyone else knows, I also learned something else through special channels."
"Don't keep me guessing," Jiang Chen said impatiently.
Zhou Guoping immediately stood up straight and said quickly.
"The boss of Hell Messenger used to be a senior agent of the Pan-Asia Intelligence Agency …"
