After following Jiang Chen for a while, Ji Yucheng saw that there was no one around, so he gulped and cautiously asked.
"Did you find the secret to eternal life?"
"Not yet."
"Is the password wrong?"
"The password is correct, but unfortunately, someone already came to the director's office." Jiang Chen took out the diary from his pocket. "I only found this."
Ji Yucheng wanted to take it, but Jiang Chen didn't plan to give it to him. His hand awkwardly hung in the air for a while before he took it back.
"Then the agreement between us …"
"Of course it counts." Jiang Chen smiled. "Since an obedient person becomes the president, it will benefit me a lot."
Based on the agreement between the two, Ji Yucheng would tell him the password, and Jiang Chen would help him become the president and kill the former president and the chief of staff who plotted against him.
The first thing Ji Yucheng would do after becoming the president was to introduce a bill to join the NAC economic zone and become a place similar to the Sixth Street in the NAC.
Ji Yucheng thought about the chip implanted in the back of his neck as he let out a sigh and shrugged. "I still don't understand. Compared to Wanghai, everything here is obviously terrible, whether it's Federation or Empire. Other than the almost legendary secret about eternal life, is there anything else here that catches your attention? "
"When you have a territory, you will want to have more. Of course, I don't need to explain this to you. You just need to do as I say, "Jiang Chen said.
"Then … what did you call me here to say? It should be something inconvenient for others to know, "Ji Yucheng said.
"About the password." Jiang Chen stared straight into his eyes. "I want you to explain how you obtained it."
When he heard Jiang Chen's question, Ji Yucheng paused for a moment before he let out a sigh.
"Is that the only question? I bet you'll be disappointed after you hear it. "
Jiang Chen signaled him to continue with his eyes.
"The password was brought by a postman. I was drinking in the bar as usual when he found me. He said someone from Empire sent me a letter and asked me to sign it. I was confused at the time … and then I was even more confused when I opened the letter. On it was a string of passwords, a detailed description of Fallout Shelter 071, and a signature. "
"That's it?" Jiang Chen looked at him, dumbfounded.
"That's all." Ji Yucheng nodded helplessly. "That's why I said you would be disappointed."
Jiang Chen scanned the program related to the slavery chip on the EP. From the heart rate, he wasn't lying.
"Then you gave the password to the president."
"That's right. I thought I could become his confidant, but I didn't expect him to want to kill me. "Ji Yucheng's tone was tinged with hatred as he spoke.
"Who is the sender?"
"Doctor Sun."
Doctor Sun, could it be...
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
From the information collected from Zhao Corporation, he initially thought that the doctor who wouldn't age was a digitalized human. But from the looks of it now, it didn't seem to be the case.
But why?
For what purpose did the doctor who was currently staying in the imperial capital hand over the password to a federal senator? Or, for what purpose did he want Federation to see the diary he purposely left behind?
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Ji Yucheng was also anxious as he tried to figure out Jiang Chen's thoughts.
But quickly, Jiang Chen spoke again.
"One last question. You gave the password to the president … Don't you want to live forever?"
Ji Yucheng paused for a moment as he didn't expect Jiang Chen to suddenly ask such an unimportant question, so he used a self-deprecating tone to mock Jiang Chen.
"I'm just a pauper. I'm just a mediocre senator in Federation. I run errands for the stingy paupers all day. Maybe after I become the president, I will. "
…
The gunshots in the distance stopped. The war ended with the total annihilation of the mutated humans.
A total of 215 mutated humans and more than a dozen mutated dogs all died miserably in the ruins.
NAC lost two people and injured 17 people. The miraculous result in the eyes of the survivors was an epic victory.
But the Expeditionary Force didn't show much excitement. With the advantage in equipment, the war was destined to be a one-sided victory from the beginning.
Jiang Chen personally held a simple funeral for the two soldiers who died.
Their bodies would be nailed into coffins and transported back to Wanghai by airship for burial.
As to the injured soldiers, with NAC's medical skills, as long as they didn't lose an arm or a leg, they could be healed.
All in all, the mutated humans here were far behind the mutated humans supported by the Dusk in Jia City. But in terms of combat power, the mutated humans here were surprisingly stronger.
The NAC researchers who followed the army to Hongcheng extracted blood and cell samples from the mutated humans' bodies and brought them back to the combat lab at the military outpost to conduct identification of the mutated humans' DNA and metabolic status.
The appearance of the mutated humans was quite different from the mutated humans in Wanghai. Jiang Chen was curious about this, so he handed the task of testing to the researchers.
The results were also surprising. The mutated humans' DNA had six pairs of chromosomes, which were significantly different from the mutated humans in Jia City.
"The FEV virus is also known as the Human Genetic Orientation Modification Virus. Its design concept was to allow the Pan-Asia people to evolve into new humans more suited for the harsh environment. But the FEV plan was met with resistance from the mainstream society, the pure decent. Humans are destined to defeat nature, not to compromise with nature and become monsters. "
"So the development of the FEV virus was put on hold. It wasn't until the war that people dug out the data and restudied it. The FEV virus culture fluid that flooded the wasteland was mostly the improved version of the original FEV virus. "
Inside the research institute, the researcher responsible for dissecting the mutated human bodies reported to Jiang Chen.
"Other than the appearance being different from the mutated humans in Wanghai City, are there any other differences?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Of course." The researcher nodded. "Other than the slightly weaker recovery ability, the mutated humans in Hongcheng also possess a powerful metabolic ability. But unlike the mutated humans in Jia City, their theoretical lifespan is three times that of the mutated humans in Jia City. "
"Three times?!" Jiang Chen was shocked.
"That's right." The researcher said with certainty, "The FLV virus in the Hongcheng area has the ability to lengthen DNA telomeres. The technical difficulty involved is high, but it's not impossible in theory. "
The mutated humans' power and immunity to poison was an annoying thing to begin with, especially with their cockroach-like recovery ability. They could easily adapt to the wasteland.
The two weaknesses of being unable to reproduce and having a short lifespan limited their population. But the mutated humans in Hongcheng had a longer lifespan than humans? It was unbelievable.
When he returned to the command room, Jiang Chen found Han Junhua and began to discuss the strategy to eliminate the mutated humans.
The initial plan was to send out scouts to determine the mutated humans' FEV production base, armory, command center, anti-air firepower, and other important facilities. Aurora-20s would launch airstrikes.
At the same time, the ground force, with the support of AS Order, would advance to the west bank of Panyang Lake occupied by Guru Tribe to liberate the local humans enslaved by the mutated humans.
As for Empire …
"In the past few days, based on the intelligence we sent to Zhonghe City and the capital, I researched the forces in Hongcheng …"
Han Junhua stood in front of the holographic map with her arms crossed. She calmly analyzed the complicated relationship between Empire and Guru Tribe.
After listening to Han Junhua's analysis, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
"You're saying Empire used us?"
"Ninety percent." Han Junhua looked at Jiang Chen. "Then, what are you planning to do?"
"Not much. Soon, they will realize that our surgery is not free. "Jiang Chen looked at the capital on the holographic map as a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
