The apocalypse, the southern suburbs of Su city.
A one hundred story building stood alone in the ruins.
Not far away, the sign engraved with [East Asia Electronics] was slanted on the side of the road. It was replaced by [Crimson Chamber of Commerce] written in red paint in the middle of the skyscraper. The original owner of the building "had the foresight" to use a large amount of expensive and sturdy materials to build the building. Because of this, the building withstood the nuclear explosion that occurred five kilometers away twenty years ago.
Unfortunately, the light radiation still burned him to ashes in the end. When the nuclear explosion occurred, he was taking the elevator to escape from the office on the top floor, but unfortunately, he died on the 27th floor.
The building changed hands several times in the apocalypse before it was finally occupied by the Crimson Chamber of Commerce. The height of the one hundred story building was a natural watchtower that could observe the situation dozens of kilometers away.
Standing on the top of the one hundred story building, Lin Chaoen sat on the edge of the roof with his feet dangling in the air. He didn't mind the hair-raising height at all as he narrowed his eyes and gazed in the direction of Wanghai City.
He wasn't afraid of heights because it was an emotion that only living creatures would have.
Suddenly, he smiled and said.
"Sure enough, Wanghai City has changed."
"Is this something that can be predicted?" Two meters behind him, a man in a suit with a stern expression stood with his hands behind his back as he gazed in the direction of Wanghai City with his eyebrows furrowed. But the sky in the distance was clear with only the outline of Wanghai City faintly visible. Other than a few wisps of black smoke, he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Cao Guangkai, the current president of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce.
Last winter, his father, Cao Jinsong, launched a coup at the Sixth Street and died after failing. When he received the news, he made a prompt decision and led the soldiers loyal to him to execute his cousin who was planning to split from the family, which was his father's nephew, Cao Wei. Finally, he took over all of the assets of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce and prevented the massive family business from splitting.
It was also after that that he met Lin Chaoen and began to cooperate with him.
A month ago, he listened to Lin Chaoen's advice and withdrew the merchant fleet of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce in Wanghai City and sold the assets purchased anonymously at the Sixth Street. Although he was skeptical of Lin Chaoen's words at the time, he didn't expect the robot's words to be fulfilled.
There was indeed a mutant flood in Wanghai!
"Of course, everything in this world has its own cause and effect." Lin Chaoen sighed and said leisurely, "For example, the economic crisis in 2150, it was destined that this war would break out. And that economic crisis started from … "
Cao Guangkai sneered and spoke without any trace of politeness: "I'm not interested in listening to your history deduction, I'm a merchant, I only care about the present and —"
"Shh!" Lin Chaoen suddenly interrupted him and put his index finger to his mouth.
Then, he put his hand to his ear, closed his eyes, and listened carefully.
"Listen, they are talking again." Lin Chaoen smiled and leaned forward. "Poor little bugs, tsk tsk …"
Cao Guangkai, who was watching from the side, frowned.
He suddenly had the urge to step forward and kick this idiot down.
But thinking that it was not worth getting angry with a robot, he restrained this dangerous impulse.
"Trying to be mysterious."
Cursing under his breath, Cao Guangkai turned around and walked toward the elevator.
"Are you not curious about what I heard?" Lin Chaoen tilted his head and said lazily.
"I'm just curious about what kind of mood your designer had to bring you into this world." Cao Guangkai curled his lips and mocked without a trace.
"Probably … mhmm, similar to my father's mentality?" Lin Chaoen shrugged as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words. "Speaking of this, I'm curious about one thing, can you answer me?"
"Oh? Is there something you don't know? "Cao Guangkai laughed.
"Don't you want to take revenge on that person? He killed your father. "Lin Chaoen asked with a smile.
He was obviously referring to Jiang Chen.
Because of the Fishbone base's sudden intervention, the already tilted balance of victory fell to the ground, and all the chips were taken by that person. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This was the feeling.
"There is no father and son in the business world. He" failed in his investment "in Wanghai and lost all his chips. That's all," Cao Guangkai said expressionlessly.
"You sure are open-minded." Lin Chaoen smiled eerily as he turned his head back and continued to look at the distant sky.
"Although the Crimson Chamber of Commerce originated from the Sixth Street in Wanghai, the base is in Su city, and the business is in Hang city and the even further Luzhou. I never agreed with my father's strategy of involving himself in the local situation. Only by abiding by the identity of a businessman will it bring us more benefits, "Cao Guangkai said emotionlessly.
"Is that so?" Lin Chaoen asked slowly.
Just like how Cao Guangkai wasn't interested in what he heard, he wasn't interested in the businessman's business strategy either. In his eyes, the way the humans handled the crystals was no different than the magpies in the trees.
They didn't even understand what kind of powerful thing they were holding in their hands.
"Yes." Cao Guangkai nodded.
Lin Chaoen didn't respond as he quietly gazed in the direction of Wanghai. He seemed to have seen something interesting as the corner of his mouth curled up.
Cao Guangkai stood behind him without a word.
Just then, the communication device on his body began to vibrate.
Cao Guangkai pressed his finger on his collar and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Mhmm, got it. "
Quickly, he hung up the phone and looked at Lin Chaoen who was sitting on the edge of the building.
"The thing you wanted is ready."
"Is that so? That's great. "The smile on Lin Chaoen's face grew brighter as he pushed himself off the ground and stood up.
It wasn't a big deal, but to do it on the edge of the 100th floor …
Cao Guangkai thought he was calm enough, but just by looking at his movements, his scalp tingled.
"The formula for the potion," he said as Lin Chaoen brushed past him.
"Oh, that thing." Lin Chaoen seemed to have remembered something as he took out a fingernail-sized USB from his pocket and said lazily, "Take it, it's all in here."
The recipe for the good times.
The hallucinatory poison. The recipe for the elixir.
Cao Guangkai couldn't help but hold his breath as he took the USB.
He felt his fingers tremble.
It was as if what he was holding in his hand wasn't a USB, but a key to the crystal vault.
He only needed one pill to live a blissful life before the war.
Lin Chaoen admired the expression on his face for two seconds as a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He left him behind and headed to the elevator.
The camera zoomed out from the two of them.
In the empty space one kilometer north of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce building stood a six-story tall rocket.
