"Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant?" Mole's eyes narrowed.
"Is there a problem?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Of course not." When he heard the employer's question, he immediately shook his head and laughed. "Respecting the customer's privacy is the basic law of our industry. But I have to remind you that it's not an interesting place. "
Mole's statement made Jiang Chen smile.
"Is there anything there?"
"Rumors, just rumors." After a pause, Mole raised a finger. "10 crystals."
Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched, and Chen Guangning slammed the table and stood up.
"You're ripping me off —"
Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop Chen Guangning, who was about to argue with Mole. He threw out a thumb-sized crystal and slammed it on the table. Mole's pupils suddenly shrank. With his eyesight, he couldn't see where the crystal came from.
When he looked at Jiang Chen again, there was some fear in his eyes.
"Thank you, boss." Mole forced a smile, retracted his hand from his sleeve, and picked up the dark green crystal on the table.
He had been doing shady business all year round, so he didn't need a quality detector. Just by rubbing his finger on the surface of the crystal, he could estimate the energy content of the crystal.
Since he had already received the commission, it was time to get down to business. Mole turned and walked into the dark compartment. It didn't take long before he took out a map that looked like a travel brochure.
He spread the map on the table, and his dry fingers traced a few streets along the main road in the city center. Finally, he stopped in the forest between Taipei and the northern expeditionary fortress, and gently pointed at the location that read Datun Mountain.
"It's here."
"Datun Nature Park?" Jiang Chen frowned and looked at Mole.
Reading the distrust in Jiang Chen's eyes, Mole smiled, and the wrinkles on his cheeks turned into ravines. "I know you may have questions, such as how the nature park and the nuclear power plant are connected. You might want to think about why Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant could avoid the nuclear war. "
Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa and looked out the window at the rain that didn't seem to be stopping.
"I don't have that much time to play riddles with you. You might as well tell me directly."
Mole shrugged and no longer kept them guessing. He answered the employer's request directly.
"The Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant is equipped with a deuterium refining device, as well as hundreds of tons of solid deuterium as PAC's strategic reserve. The specific coordinates are classified as Class-A confidential. Because of this, the nuclear power plant that had never been activated escaped NATO's nuclear missiles. But for me, this is not a secret. The password for administrator privileges is written on the back of this map, and the entrance is in Datun Nature Park. "
"You still haven't told me what is there," Jiang Chen said.
"I almost forgot." Mole patted his head and smiled. He then said, "Hundreds of tons of deuterium and an intact nuclear power plant, you guys aren't the only ones paying attention to these things. The governor of this town had also thought about restarting the Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant. After all, there were hundreds of tons of deuterium, enough for the town to use for hundreds of years. However, the result was that none of the hundred or so people we sent came back. "
The Mole chuckled at the end, and it was a chuckle of indescribable cruelty.
"What is there?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Maybe Mud Crabs, maybe the security machine guarding the nuclear power plant, maybe something else. No one came back alive, and no one went to collect the bodies of those unlucky people. If you are curious, you can ask the mayor of Town No. 79, but he's probably hiding in the fallout shelter by now, "Mole mocked.
Mole already told him all the information he knew, and it would be useless to ask.
Jiang Chen put the map in his pocket and stood up from the sofa.
But before he left, he looked at Mole and asked one last question.
"One last question, how do you know this?"
"Me?" Mole laughed. "It's not a good habit to pry into privacy."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"As long as the price is right, this is what you said."
Mole still raised one finger.
"Ten crystals?" Jiang Chen laughed.
"One hundred," Mole said emotionlessly.
As soon as he finished, a crystal the size of a baby's fist was thrown on the table. Mole's pupils contracted. This time, he still didn't notice Jiang Chen's action, but he didn't care anymore. All his attention was captured by the crystal.
The dark green luster was like a luminous pearl in the dark room. Even Chen Guangning, who was standing next to him, gulped.
Greed gradually faded from his pupils, and Mole retracted his gaze. His hand didn't reach for the crystal, but his eyes fell on Jiang Chen. His original intention was to make the nosy employer retreat, but he didn't expect the rich employer to really take out one hundred crystals.
He finally knew why Chen Guangning didn't hide in the fallout shelter or board the ship, but instead worked for the man in the raincoat. People who could throw one hundred crystals like throwing stones without blinking were definitely not as simple as being rich.
"What? Are you talking about one hundred blood crystals? "Jiang Chen's finger tapped on the sofa armrest as he laughed.
Mole shook his head and was silent for a long time before he slowly said.
"For the former Pan-Asia Cooperation Class A intelligence personnel, this is not a secret."
Pan-Asia Cooperation Class A intelligence personnel? Jiang Chen's pupils slightly enlarged, and his interest was piqued.
If he was a PAC intelligence personnel, then Yizhou Island was no secret to him.
Jiang Chen glanced at Chen Guangning, and with the remaining light, he read similar surprise from his pupils. Obviously, he didn't associate this "mole" with the former intelligence personnel. He just regarded him as a simple intelligence dealer.
"So, former Pan-Asia Cooperation intelligence personnel, are you interested in working for me?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Mole looked at Jiang Chen and didn't immediately give an answer. Instead, he cautiously said.
"I'll think about it."
Jiang Chen wasn't too surprised by Mole's answer. Unlike Chen Guangning, for the locals living on Yizhou Island, the name of NAC would probably not be much louder than the distant Northern Alliance Area.
If the intelligence personnel of the former regime could be recruited, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for NAC. But if not, it wouldn't be a loss.
Therefore, Jiang Chen just smiled and said casually.
"If you think about it, you can come to the Expedition Fortress to find me."
Leaving this sentence, Jiang Chen took Chen Guangning and Lin Lin, who had long wanted to leave, and left the dark house.
Standing at the door of the broken house, Mole watched the backs of the three people disappear into the depths of the rainy alley. After a long time, he turned around and returned to the house.
