Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Liu Mang's face was full of shock. He had not seen anyone from the Huizhong Mercenaries recently. Was it really as he said?
Gradually, the shock on his face turned into horror.
"I heard that the Huizhong Mercenaries offended a force they couldn't afford to offend and was wiped out."
"It really was a force from Qingpu."
"I remember now! That's what the drunkard from Qingpu said … "
Many lone travelers who wandered the wasteland naturally heard some rumors. For example, Songjiang suddenly became a lot more peaceful, and the sudden disappearance of the Huizhong Mercenaries' raiding team. But no one thought that such a large organization would be wiped out by the man in front of them.
The woman who had been staring at Jiang Chen was even more shocked. If she was tempted at the beginning, now she didn't care about the price anymore.
The eyes that were staring at Jiang Chen in the shadows all changed from greed to caution. They began to think about how they compared to the Huizhong Mercenaries.
"You, this, this is impossible. Impossible." Liu Mang looked at Jiang Chen as if he had seen a ghost. His mouth trembled as he couldn't even speak clearly.
Jiang Chen didn't bother with Liu Mang anymore. Instead, he looked at the young man who had been drinking with a smile.
"I heard that you can't drink too much of this industrial alcohol."
"That's fine. You can drink two bottles. People who have been injected have a strong metabolism. "The man put down the glass and smiled casually.
"You know who I am?"
"Of course. I came all the way from Jia City just to find you." The young man shrugged and extended his right hand. "Lin Chaoen, from Jia City's Defender. Nice to meet you."
The Defenders? [Fu * k, why don't you call yourself the Avengers?]
"Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen shook his hand with a strange expression, but the vigilance in his eyes was still there.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm a good person," Lin Chaoen said innocently, sensing the distrust in Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jiang Chen smiled noncommittally and didn't look at him again. Instead, he returned to his seat at the bar and turned to look at Liu Mang, whose face was full of fear.
"You're lucky. At least you can choose which brand of formalin to use."
When Liu Mang heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Spare me, Big Brother. I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, I —"
"Alright, I'm tired of listening to your bullshit. If you want to live … "Jiang Chen said impatiently as he slapped the bar." These four bottles, you can leave after you finish them. "
Instantly, Liu Mang's face turned green.
"Tsk tsk, a whole bottle of industrial liquor. To him, drinking a bottle was like losing half of his life. What a waste, why don't you give it to me … "
Without waiting for Lin Chaoen to finish speaking, the wine bottle flew towards him.
Lin Chaoen caught the bottle thrown by Jiang Chen, smiled, and poured himself another glass.
"Drink the remaining three bottles," Jiang Chen looked at Liu Mang and said slowly.
These three bottles didn't look normal, and he didn't plan on drinking them himself. But considering the purpose of "market research" and his own curiosity, finding a lab rat to test the poison was a good choice.
Liu Mang didn't dare to resist when he thought about how Jiang Chen wiped out the Huizhong Mercenaries. He made up his mind as he solemnly walked up, picked up the bottle of Nuclear Coke, and began to chug it down his throat.
Whistles came from the crowd as a lot of people looked at his crotch mockingly.
After one bottle, Jiang Chen was shocked to find that the guy's crotch lit up.
That's right, it lit up.
"Nuclear Coke, with a small amount of radioactive strontium added, it can make the drinker's urine glow. Damn, drinking an entire bottle at once, this stick will probably be a light bulb for the whole day. "Lin Chaoen took a sip as he looked at Liu Mang mockingly.
"Radioactive element? Is it harmless to the human body? "Jiang Chen looked at the Nuclear Coke with an odd expression as he asked Lin Chaoen.
"This thing is harmless, it was sold before the war."
Liu Mang picked up the dark green Kaka tea again, his eyebrows twisted into two centipedes, but he still raised his head with a pained expression as he chugged down the bottle.
"Kaka tea, with an excess amount of polyphenols and other anti-radiation ingredients. Although it doesn't look great, and the taste is bitter, the anti-radiation effect is quite obvious." Just as Lin Chaoen finished speaking, Liu Mang's crotch was no longer as bright as before.
He finally finished two bottles. Liu Mang held the last bottle of E-Fruit in his hand as he looked at Jiang Chen with a troubled expression.
"Why are you looking at me, drink!" Jiang Chen glared at him.
"Yes, yes!"
Liu Mang gritted his teeth and poured it down his throat. However, after drinking the bottle, he fell to the ground stiffly.
"E-Fruit, sweetened beverage. The correct way to drink it is to take a small sip with the cap and pour it into a large bottle of water. If you drink an entire bottle like this, it's better to send it to the hospital, "Lin Chaoen explained with a smile.
Jiang Chen glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Just then, a few security officers in black uniforms walked in. They looked at the thugs on the ground and then looked at the bartender with questioning eyes.
"They provoked us and were taught a lesson." The bartender stated the truth in a neutral manner. From his calm expression, it was not the first time he dealt with these troublesome matters.
The security officer looked at Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have caused your legal rights to be violated. The person who provoked us will be detained for fifteen days."
Then, a few security officers took out handcuffs and took the people on the ground away.
The security officers of the Sixth Street always had a polite attitude when they were enforcing the law. But once there was a conflict, they would pull out their guns without hesitation and shoot.
Seeing that the police had taken the people away and there was no more entertainment to watch, the crowd began to disperse. The bar returned to its usual lively atmosphere. The gamblers threw dice and the drunkards held their glasses.
The woman with heavy makeup was about to talk to Jiang Chen, but she suddenly realized that he was gone.
…
In the alley beside the bar.
The old junk was covered in dust. It was obvious that it had been here for a long time. The dim light covered the corner of the wall with mutated moss.
It had been a long time since anyone passed by this place, but there were two figures standing there.
"Tell me, why did you come all the way to find me?" Jiang Chen looked at Lin Chaoen and asked with an odd expression.
He didn't remember when he went to Jia City. Could fame travel through the air?
Regardless, Lin Chaoen's ability was not to be underestimated. To be able to wander around on the wasteland, he either had a large group of people protecting him or was a powerful individual. Jiang Chen was also curious as to why he was looking for him.
Seeing that Jiang Chen asked directly, the smile on Lin Chaoen's face gradually faded and was replaced with a serious expression.
"A few days ago, the mutated humans began to move towards Wanghai City and destroyed a survivor gathering point."
"It was a bandit's nest." Jiang Chen shrugged and added.
"No matter what. I followed the mutated humans to Songjiang in Wanghai City, but I only found traces of the mutated humans' attack. Then I came to the Sixth Street and heard rumors about you in the bar. Based on the scattered information, the real story was: the mutated humans destroyed the Huizhong Mercenaries, and you, who coincidentally ran into them, destroyed them. "
"That's not wrong. Then what?"
"I've been trying to find you, but I only heard that you were in the Qingpu area. I didn't know your exact location. I didn't expect to meet the boss of the Fishbone base, Jiang Chen. "Lin Chaoen stared into Jiang Chen's eyes and said in an undertone.
"So, why are you looking for me?" Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
What a joke, he didn't want to have anything to do with the mutated humans. Fighting with them would be a waste of effort.
Lin Chaoen seemed to have predicted Jiang Chen's reaction as he paused and continued, "Based on our information, the mutated humans' armed forces are gathering in the southwest area of Wanghai City."
West area? [Fu * k, isn't that Qingpu and Songjiang?] [The mutated humans are moving here?]
Jiang Chen's expression instantly changed. His Fishbone base was in the Qingpu area. But then, he suddenly thought of a problem as he looked at Lin Chaoen suspiciously.
"Wait, if you are in Jia City, the mutated humans moving towards Wanghai City should be a good thing for you. Then why are you looking for me? "
"You don't know the history between us and the mutated humans, so of course you would suspect my motive. The so-called Defender Alliance is fighting against the mutated humans' enslavement. "
Lin Chaoen paused before he continued.
"For many years, they used the Seventh Area as their gathering point and operated in Jia City. Capture, plunder, and enslave. Those who dare to resist will be executed, and those who are of a suitable age will be soaked in a jar to obtain a new life – they will become eunuchs like them. Their existence is against humanity, and we are united by the same enemy. "
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Chaoen in silence before he opened his mouth.
"Why would the mutated humans come to Wanghai City? Since you are looking for me, you must have some idea of their intentions. "
"That's right." Lin Chaoen nodded as he took out a computer pen and opened the holographic map.
His finger pointed at a location in the city center as he continued, "Carman Pharmaceutical, engaged in genetic drug development and production before the war. Rumor has it that they have a project with the military."
"So?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
"Based on the information, this project is designed to allow the PAC people to gain the ability to adapt to radiation in a short period of time in the event of a global nuclear war, and become the only adapters to the new world. And the result of this project is the FEV virus. "
Jiang Chen was shocked as he looked at Lin Chaoen in disbelief. He remembered that the mutated humans were the product of soaking in the FEV virus.
"FEV virus? Used on our own people? "Jiang Chen asked in disbelief.
He always thought that the legendary FEV virus was a biochemical weapon created in a laboratory to make the enemy's population extinct. But he didn't expect that the virus was designed to target their own people.
"Nothing spreads faster than a virus. It's the most efficient method. But the FEV virus wasn't completed. The semi-finished product can only function with the aid of a special culture fluid, and it will make people ugly and infertile. We won't discuss the humanity of the regime before the war here. The key is that the incomplete eunuchs seemed to have obtained some kind of information that convinced them that the Carman building hid the improved FEV virus that could allow them to evolve to a higher level. And this improved version of the virus could allow them to obtain the reproductive ability they dreamed of. "
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression completely changed.
"Why don't you go to the pharmaceutical company before them? Why don't you just destroy the improved FEV virus? "
Lin Chaoen immediately rejected the suggestion and shook his head. "That's impossible. First of all, the company is located in a high radiation zone. Unless there is power armor or anti-radiation suits, the iodine in the EP alone won't be able to get close. Also, even if you get to the Carman Pharmaceutical building, you won't be able to enter without a security password. The security robots there will eliminate all unrecognized targets that attempt to enter. "
"Then blow up the entire building!" Jiang Chen said viciously.
Lin Chaoen looked at Jiang Chen strangely. "A building that can remain intact next to a nuclear crater, what kind of explosives do you think we should use to blow it up?"
Jiang Chen was at his wit's end.
"Fu * k, why don't you go talk to the Sixth Street officials?"
Lin Chaoen looked at Jiang Chen with a troubled smile. "The council won't believe me, and I'm not confident I can convince at least five council members. Strictly speaking, this is our problem in Jia City. Even if the mutated humans obtain the improved virus, they will only go back to Jia City to bathe and harm the survivors there. Do you think the Sixth Street will abandon its golden period of development to fight a war that won't bring them any benefits? "
"Then what's the point of coming to me?"
"Because the mutated humans will pass by your door. There's no reason for them to let go of the juicy meat in their mouth." Lin Chaoen shrugged and said straightforwardly.
"You're saying my Fishbone base is a juicy meat?" Jiang Chen didn't think much of it.
"Power armors can't utilize their mobility advantage in defense, especially since you don't seem to have a lot of power armors. At least from the battlefield, that's the case. They still have a lot of the 40-person mutated human force. "
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed as he stared into Lin Chaoen's eyes.
Lin Chaoen fearlessly met Jiang Chen's gaze, put away the computer pen, and extended his right hand again.
"We can cooperate for a common enemy."
