It turned out that the guy was just a scammer.
The medicine wasn't even Jet, but something strange …
After swallowing two pills, the guy fell to the ground, unconscious.
It was obviously not Jet. Jet wouldn't pass out after two pills. Thinking about how the black-hearted merchant tried to sell them to them, the soldiers were furious. They searched the guy's body and threw him at the entrance of the camp.
The scattered crystals were divided among the soldiers, but the 530 crystals were paid by Jiang Chen, so they didn't dare to take it. The captain pondered for a moment before he decided to personally send the crystals back and report the fake medicine dealer's incident.
When Jiang Chen first saw the merchant, he knew he wasn't a good person, so he wasn't surprised by the captain's report. The reason he paid for the bottle of medicine was to kill time and tease the scammer.
As to the 530 crystals, Jiang Chen didn't take it. He waved his hand and told the captain to split it with the soldiers on duty. The wall wasn't built yet, so it was tough to stand in the snow with their guns. The 530 crystals could be split at least 5 per person. For them who didn't have much money in their pockets, it was a significant amount of wealth.
Jiang Chen smiled as he watched the grateful captain excitedly run out the door. He locked the door and laid on the bed to sleep.
At this point, he had thought that this little interlude was over, but who would have thought that this matter was not over yet …
The next morning.
Under the bus stop outside the square, a trembling figure stood in the cold wind. The person looked at the end of the street from time to time. Occasionally, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch. His eyebrows were scrunched together as if he was anxiously waiting for something.
It was the same for a while.
On the lonely street, his behavior was very strange.
The soldiers on duty at the entrance of the camp looked at the strange guy from afar and pointed at him.
After a while, accompanied by two soldiers in kinetic skeletons, Jiang Chen slowly walked over.
When he got closer, he realized it was Meng Qian who sold him the medicine yesterday. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and walked next to him.
"What are you doing?"
"Do you even need to ask? Wait for the bus. "Meng Qian glanced at Jiang Chen beside him as he said nonchalantly.
"Bus?" Jiang Chen examined him curiously.
"That's right. I think I'm late." Meng Qian angrily cursed a few times, but then he gave up and sighed. He tightened his collar and prepared to leave.
"Wait, where's your cow?" Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Chen stopped him.
"Bull? What are you talking about? "Meng Qian turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a strange look as he asked rhetorically with a frown.
His gaze was as if he was looking at a lunatic.
Was he pretending to be stupid or was he really stupid? Jiang Chen's expression also turned strange.
His intuition told him that this reaction had something to do with the medicine from yesterday.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Chen asked.
"To work," the man said in annoyance.
"To work?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he looked at him like he was looking at a lunatic.
"That's right. Any questions? Fu * k, it's already this late … "Meng Qian rolled up his sleeves and cursed. He ignored Jiang Chen and quickly walked to the other side of the street.
The soldiers behind Jiang Chen raised their guns and were about to stop the man, but Jiang Chen stopped them.
Jiang Chen thoughtfully looked at Meng Qian walking away as he ordered the two soldiers.
"You two follow him first, I'll be right behind."
"Yes." The two soldiers saluted and immediately ran over with their rifles.
Back at the camp, Jiang Chen greeted Cheng Weiguo before he put on his T-3 power armor and chased after Meng Qian.
The two people responsible for following Meng Qian were knights from the Fishbone base. They were implanted with the "honor chip" with the two-dimensional coordinates appearing as green dots on the EP map.
Jiang Chen transferred the map information to the holographic screen in the power armor as he chased after the two green dots at full speed.
The snow on the road was thick. Jiang Chen originally planned to use gliding mode to chase after them, but the wheels under his feet were too slippery, so he had to run.
It took some time on the road. When Jiang Chen arrived at the destination, the two soldiers were already waiting there.
"Where are they?" Jiang Chen slowed down and walked in front of them.
"They went in. We were worried about alerting the enemy, so we didn't go in. "One of the soldiers pointed across the street.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked over.
It was a small mall about three stories high. The sign printed with the words "Lake Mall" hung from the roof. From the wreckage of the cars in front of the door, it was clear that the business here was quite good before the war. A lot of windows in the mall were nailed shut with wooden boards or other materials. The windows that weren't sealed were tightly covered with curtains.
Only the glass door at the bottom of the mall was wide open.
While it sealed off all possibilities of peeking inside, it didn't set up any obstacles at the front door of the building.
No matter how he looked at it, this building was suspicious!
Looking at the dark entrance, Jiang Chen frowned and opened the life detection device mounted on the power armor. The ripple scanned the map on the holographic screen, but when the light scanned the building, it didn't return the slightest ripple.
From this point alone, there didn't seem to be any human activity in the mall.
Jiang Chen wasn't too surprised, but he was even more certain that there was something fishy going on.
Although it was useful in the modern world with a lower technology level, it wasn't that useful in the apocalypse. A lot of smarter survivors, mercenaries, or raiders would install life signal shielding devices in their homes to prevent their coordinates from being detected by people with ulterior motives.
The guy named Meng Qian just went in, how could there be no one here?
"How long has he been in there?" Jiang Chen asked in an undertone.
The older soldier looked at his EP. "Ten minutes."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment.
The strange hallucinogenic drug, the merchant who suddenly appeared at the camp gate, was it a coincidence? But it was too much of a coincidence.
Camp 27 was only built two days ago, and the wall wasn't even half built yet. A merchant suddenly appeared here. He wasn't sure if this group of people was friendly to normal survivors, so he just walked over to sell his goods to the guards at the gate? It didn't make sense.
If a soldier bought his drug, would he hallucinate and come here?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's face turned solemn, but then his expression relaxed again.
If he was here for the Fishbone base, he wouldn't be unable to recognize the general. But from the merchant's words and actions, he didn't seem to recognize him. From this point, he shouldn't be here for the Fishbone base.
Then he should be here for Fallout Shelter 027!
Jiang Chen's eyes began to light up as the clues in his head became clearer.
The other party, through some means, learned of the opening of Fallout Shelter 027. For some reason, they tried to abduct the residents of the fallout shelter. But the merchant obviously didn't know the specifics of the plan as he was ordered to sell the drug, so he didn't care if the other party was a "blue skin."
This made sense.
As to the other party's goal, he could only find out after going in.
Looking at the pitch black door and the few windows that were only covered with cloth, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea.
