Zhang Yingying didn't talk for too long. She chatted with them for a bit before hanging up. The information she sent arrived at this time. Luo Nan looked it up through the HexaEar while Crag Burst smacked the steering wheel and laughed mischievously:
"This sister is too noisy. Of course she has a good heart."
Luo Nan understood what he meant and nodded: "I know."
The first time he met Zhang Yingying, she was certainly quick-witted and lively, but she had a temperament that never gave way to others. She wouldn't give up until she seized the upper hand. But not only did she give Crag Burst the opportunity to talk about her just now, she even put on a self-mocking attitude, stirring up the atmosphere quite lively.
Luo Nan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Zhang Yingying's finger curling. But his smile soon vanished and he spoke softly: "I seem to be quite depressed recently?"
Otherwise, with Zhang Yingying's temperament, why would she deliberately make him happy?
Crag Burst laughed loudly: "You're stressed right? That's normal. At your age, if you're still giggling and carefree after bearing all these things, then you really need to see a doctor. "
"Really? That's normal?"
"Of course it's normal. Back when I was in the Coast Defense Force, every time there was a 'rushing tide' … … You know what a rushing tide is, right? It's when a large number of Mutants use the astronomical spring tide as an opportunity to attack the coast defense line. It's called a landslide and a tsunami. It blots out the sky and covers the earth. "
Crag Burst started the car and the jeep drove out of the parking lot amidst the rumbling of the engine. It merged into the low-altitude magnetic rail of the electronic city. He continued to speak: "After the warning and before the start of the battle, it's the most torturous time. There are even suicides in the barracks. A good portion of them are seasoned veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles … … It's very likely that they'll survive even if they enter the battlefield. Humans have a limit to their endurance. Once the limit is exceeded, they become a freak. They're done for. But I can see that you're fine. You're far from your limit. "
Crag Burst extended his hand as he spoke. The distance between his thumb and middle finger was quite considerable.
Luo Nan laughed and sighed after laughing: "There are still changes."
He had a feeling that his reactions were a bit different when he encountered trouble.
One had to know that what had just been discovered in the electronic city was the Dynamo Core!
His father had secretly gifted him a mystical item; the key to allowing an altered human like Jack to become a Burner; the level of mysterious technology that Earth's technology had yet to reach; and it even involved the mysterious power that was hidden behind the colossus that was Quantum Corporation … If this was a month ago, he would have disregarded everything and rushed to the daoist gym to find the gym master and ask him about it. He would have pestered him to death to get an answer.
But now, even though his conviction to research the Dynamo Core was firm, it was still a long way to go, even if his heart was about to be torn apart by an intense desire.
Why?
It was probably because he had some misgivings. In just a month or so, he had made enemies one after another, and they were all powerful forces in the world. After a few times, even a newborn calf's horns would be flattened.
Luo Nan had a faint premonition that what awaited him in front of him was a deadly minefield. It was fine if he didn't trigger it, but once he did, he wouldn't even have the chance to turn back …
Sharpening one's tools was the right choice.
But on the other hand, waiting in ambush also came with a price. All sorts of thoughts couldn't help but emerge in his mind. They interweaved into a dense and gloomy net, and the pressure followed him like a shadow.
Indeed, he hadn't reached his limit, but he wasn't far from being a freak.
Crag Burst drove his car through the flow of traffic. He shot a glance at Luo Nan and grinned: "Nanster, I need to say a few words to you. Since you're a man, everyone has pressure. You can find ways to vent, but you can't show it on your face. Otherwise, people will look down on you."
"Vent?"
"Cigarettes, alcohol, women … … Pooh! I'm talking about learning, learning, and learning. Turning pressure into motivation!"
Luo Nan copied Zhang Yingying and gave Crag Burst the middle finger.
Crag Burst was a bit embarrassed: "Don't look into the minor details. What I'm saying is that we can't let the weekend go to waste. If you don't have any plans, I'll arrange a place for everyone to relax. "
"Cigarettes, alcohol, and women?"
"Don't be a bad kid!" Crag Burst's rough voice cut off Luo Nan's thoughts.
Luo Nan laughed and asked: "Where's the Trigate District?"
"It's between the main city district and Man City. It's almost two hundred kilometers away. Why are we going there?"
"Nothing. I saw the information Yingying sent over. It says that the partner is Trigate Security LLC. They're registered in the Trigate District. I've never heard of them before."
"Oh, this used to be the camp of the Xia City garrison troops. It was removed not too long ago. The security company you're talking about should have a military background. Not bad. It's quite easy to earn money from the government and the military at this stage. What kind of business is it? "
Luo Nan read from the information: "Native species, genetic and ecological maintenance … …"
"What?" Crag Burst didn't hear it clearly for the first time.
Luo Nan repeated the information, clearly reading the relevant introduction: "It's a patrol and reconnaissance business. It's related to Mutants."
"F * ck! What a scam!" Crag Burst smacked the steering wheel with force and the horn exploded.
This time it was Luo Nan who didn't understand: "This business isn't good?"
"It has nothing to do with business. I'm saying that as long as there's a similar business, it means that the government and the military are scamming the common people. F * ck! What the hell are the garrison troops doing? "Crag Burst transformed into a furious youth in an instant.
Luo Nan flipped through the information and slowly came to an understanding. Native species, genetic and ecological maintenance was a long and awkward name. Using one word to describe it, it was "mending the pen after the sheep is lost".
The Mutants that were isolated in the wilderness and the ocean would occasionally break through layers upon layers of defense due to special circumstances. They would appear within the city of Xia City. This business was responsible for searching and killing these infiltrating Mutants to ensure the safety of the city.
Speaking of which, there were quite a few Mutants within the city of Xia City. It was quite popular for rich families to raise one or two Mutants. The Greatmaw Basilisk that Rui Wen had killed and the flying devil ray that Luo Nan had subdued were all Mutants.
But these Mutants had all gone through strict inspection and quarantine procedures. Their negative effects were already reduced to the minimum.
The fellows that had accidentally infiltrated were different. They often carried highly pathogenic bacteria. There were even some that had broken through reproductive isolation and were able to reproduce with Earth's native species for the next generation. Once the related "mixed blood" species spread out within the city's ecosystem, a few small mutations could lead to a great disaster under the enormous impetus of the population.
The hidden destructive power of these Mutants was even more astonishing than the Mutants on the surface.
Crag Burst reached out and patted Luo Nan on the shoulder: "The task is arduous and glorious … … That's what you say when you clean up the mess of the government and the military."
Luo Nan grunted but said: "It's more suitable for me."
"That's right. From what I remember, there aren't many who are stronger than you in reconnaissance. But this is very time consuming and patience consuming … … Hey, that's not right, right? "
Crag Burst suddenly came to a realization. Luo Nan was still a student. His extracurricular studies were very arduous. How could he have the free time to run around the city with someone else?
