When he walked out of the elevator, Jiang Chen was warmly welcomed by all the survivors at the Fishbone base.
The snow was heavy, but it didn't cool down people's enthusiasm.
There was even a girl who presented flowers to Jiang Chen.
The first few survivors to join the base were all refugees from the Sixth Street. In the ghetto, they suffered from hunger, disease, and scorn as they struggled to survive. To the Group of Ten council members, they didn't have the slightest positive impression. Although they had nothing to do with the Sixth Street anymore, they still felt proud of Jiang Chen joining the Sixth Street.
Jiang Chen waved at the people and entered the community center with Sun Jiao.
In the logistics office, Jiang Chen found the head of the department, Wang Qin.
"The Black Blood Mercenaries' compensation has been fully paid, a total of 11000 crystals. Because he was worried that his base would be affected by the civil war, Luo Yang already took people back to the Sixth Street. Regarding the trade with Liuding town, he left a representative to discuss with us. "
Jiang Chen nodded at Wang Qin's report.
The food business at the Sixth Street and outside of Wanghai were all handled by Zhao Chenwu. As to Liuding town, because he already signed a trade agreement with Tang Miya, Jiang Chen hired the Black Blood Mercenaries and asked Luo Yang to escort the food to the aircraft carrier, then transport the crystals and customized chips back.
As to the details of the trade, Jiang Chen left it to Wang Qin to worry about. He believed that she had enough experience in this area.
On the other hand, there were more than one hundred survivors who joined the Fishbone base. Most of them were survivors from Qingpu, but some of them came from Songjiang, which was next to Qingpu.
To the newcomers, Jiang Chen, of course, welcomed them, but the housing in the Fishbone base was a bit tight. Because the construction team's focus shifted to the defense on the Taipu river, the construction of the new land in the Fishbone base slowed down.
But as the pressure from the mutated humans decreased, Lu Huasheng brought the construction team back to the base. It wouldn't be long before the housing problem was solved.
"Luo Yang, did he say anything before he left?"
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Qin said in a small voice.
"He said you are very cunning."
Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he burst out laughing.
"Then I'll take that as a compliment."
If he received the news of the civil war, he would have brought his people back to the Sixth Street.
Although seventy people were not many, they were all veterans who had been through the flames of war for a long time. With the seventy mercenaries, any benefits from the civil war would be much better than the 11000 crystals.
Jiang Chen walked out of the office and returned to the mansion with Sun Jiao, who was waiting outside.
After the interrogation, Sun Xiaorou was locked in the basement by Jiang Chen. It would have been fine if she was a stranger, but she was Sun Jiao's sister. Considering his relationship with Sun Jiao, Sun Xiaorou was his sister-in-law.
"How are you going to treat my sister?" On the way to the basement, Sun Jiao asked in a small voice.
"… To be honest, I don't know either."
She bit her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't.
Jiang Chen peeked at the side of Sun Jiao's face and didn't say anything.
The two of them walked to the basement door in silence and pushed it open.
"Big pervert, you're finally back?"
Lin Lin sat in front of the computer with her eyes glued to the touchpad as she spoke without turning her head.
Before leaving for the frontline, Jiang Chen ordered her to research why Sun Xiaorou lost her childhood memory and didn't even remember Sun Jiao. Thinking of her unreasonable fanaticism, Jiang Chen suspected that she had been brainwashed or hypnotized.
Jiang Chen ignored Lin Lin's sharp tongue and glanced at Sun Xiaorou floating in the training chamber.
"Is there a result?"
A proud smile flashed across Lin Lin's face as she typed a few more keys.
"Of course, who do you think I am."
A holographic image in the shape of a human brain appeared on the projection device. Lin Lin got up from the chair and walked to the side of the holographic image.
"After scanning with special equipment, I found a nanochip in the hippocampus of her brain. Its function is to block the external nervous system from reading parts of the hippocampus, which is equivalent to sealing her childhood memory. "
Lin Lin reached out and clicked on the holographic image, enlarging the chip hidden in the hippocampus.
"Is there any way to remove this chip?" Jiang Chen said in an undertone.
"Of course there is, but it's difficult …" Lin Lin sighed.
Seeing how the smug digitalized human scientist was having a hard time, Sun Jiao had an anxious look on her face. She grabbed Lin Lin's shoulder and begged.
"But there is still a way, right? Please, I don't want my sister to become someone else's puppet. If there is anything I can do to help, just tell me, I will definitely — "
Embarrassed by Sun Jiao's earnest look, Lin Lin's face turned red. She looked away and interrupted her.
"The chip has been in her brain since she was a child. To remove the chip without causing damage to her brain, the medical level before the war couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate, let alone here …"
"So what is the solution?" Jiang Chen asked calmly.
"The easiest way is to find the person who implanted the chip, remove the control authority, and then put the chip into permanent hibernation."
"Can't we use something like EMP to get rid of it directly?" Jiang Chen asked.
Hearing this, Lin Lin facepalmed.
"Something like EMP is ineffective against nano-scale electronic components. When the size of the device and sensor is much smaller than the wavelength of the microwave, the microwave frequency can't be coupled to the device with enough energy to cause damage … How did you learn physics? Aren't you a university student over there? "
Jiang Chen's face turned red as he tried to defend himself.
"We don't learn this stuff over there?"
Sun Jiao looked at her sister in the culture tank and suddenly said.
"We just need to catch the person who implanted the chip."
"Even if we catch him, I don't think he will obediently hand over the control authority." Jiang Chen frowned and said, troubled.
"Then force him to hand it over." Ruthlessness flashed across Sun Jiao's face. Her clenched fists were trembling because of anger.
Looking at Sun Jiao's expression, Jiang Chen sighed.
It looked like the war with the Dusk Church was inevitable. Although the two sides didn't seem to have a chance to make peace from the beginning.
"I will help you." Jiang Chen held Sun Jiao's fist and comforted her.
"Mhmm." Sun Jiao's face turned red as she lowered her head.
[Pshh, so annoying. This shameless couple.]
Lin Lin pouted her mouth.
She was displeased that the two of them ignored her and showed off their affection in front of her. Her heart began to beat faster.
[Wait, why is the mechanical heart speeding up?]
Lin Lin was shocked, but when she regained her senses, the control of her body was taken away by the "guest" residing in her body.
"Ahhh! Quick, help me, I can't control the power in my body! "
