Chapter 8: Hui Zhong Mercenaries
Tulip Hotel is located between the inner and outer circle border. That location was near the most prosperous Sixth Street market, and it was the safest and most guarded place.
The roof provides a damp, dark vibe to the audience. The 50 anti-air machine guns guard the luxuriously furnished hotel, although the contrast is a bit odd, it shows the strong power of the hotel. In a lawless wasteland, safety was the number one priority.
Only Sixth Street officials can put an anti-air engine on the roof. Only the rich and important people live here. Therefore, safety issues are emphasized to the maximum. According to Sun Jiao, if any intruder enters your room without permission, the law allows an intruder to be shot on the spot.
The reason why they stayed here was to get rid of the "tails" that followed them.
They sat on the luxurious leather sofa as Jiang Chen swallowed a piece of orange from a fruit tin. He would never eat these things before, due to the ridiculous amount of preservatives and sweeteners in them. However, since he had only eaten junk food for the past few days, he needed to eat fruit. For vitamins, and to maintain their health.
“Don't look at me like that; I'll save some. '' Jiang Chen rolled his eyes when he saw Sun Jiao staring at the fruit, full of desire. He turned towards the person on the ground, who was also staring at the fruit, swallowing. "Why don't we get rid of this problem and have dinner?"
Hui Lei was completely tied on the ground as she felt the cruel gaze of someone behind her. A chill came down his back. He looked at the smiling man on the sofa but felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
Cold sweat appeared very profusely on Hui Lei's forehead when he felt the gun pointing to the back of his head, “I. . . I.... You misunderstand! I, I am not … "
Sun Jiao swung the barrel of a rifle and, without hesitation, pointed it at his face. He then stepped on his head as he interrogated him in a dangerous tone. "I didn't ask if you were following us, I asked you. . . "He slowed down his voice as he opened the laser gun switch, the buzz of light echoed throughout the room,". . . Who sent you here? "
It was a predator sound. Even Jiang Chen, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa, shivered. This was the first time he had acted so cruelly, well maybe not the first time. After Sun Jiao caught him, he immediately said he didn't know anything. Other than names, he did not give them any useful information. He insisted that he was a refugee living in a ghetto.
But will a refugee show up at the most prosperous place on Sixth Street?
“I don't know anything! You're using illegal power! The guards on Sixth Street won't let you go! ”Hu Lei shouted as his eyes opened wide. He was so naive that he started threatening Jiang Chen. Naive, but stupid.
If he did not trust Sun Jiao's abilities, Jiang Chen would almost believe he was just an ordinary person.
"You have ten seconds to reconsider. Of course, to help you think, I'll crack one of your beans every ten seconds, "in a loud voice, Sun Jiao kicked Hu Lei as she turned it over.
"Don't do that! Nah! ”Hu Lei screamed in fear as he looked at Sun Jiao hysterically and tried to get away from her.
“9. ”
“I, I don't know anything! Miss, please let me go, "Hu Lei pleaded with his life, but he couldn't see the slightest bit of doubt or mercy on this demon-like woman.
"7," Sun Jiao immediately took out a steel beam
"I, I …"
"1,1," Sun Jiao raised her hand.
"Nooooo!"
"Wait a minute . '' Jiang Chen suddenly opened his mouth.
Sun Jiao stopped with the steel beam still in the air.
A dirty smell filled the room. Jiang Chen sniffed the air and looked at Hu Lei who was twitching with disdain. They didn't even start, and he's already pissing his pants. If he wanted to be brave, at least he wouldn't have to urinate. Although when Sun Jiao said he was going to break his nuts, Jiang Chen also felt a chill seeping into his pants. This step is effective for men.
“I don't like to use violence to solve problems. '' Jiang Chen smiled at Hu Lei.
As if looking at the oasis in the middle of the desert, Hu Lei crawled in front of Jiang Chen and firmly knelt in front of him.
"Thank you! Me, I …. ”
"But if you keep pretending like this, I don't mind giving my assistant advice. Like putting a hungry mutant dog right in front of your nuts. I'm sure it will enjoy a delicious meal. ”
Jiang Chen's cold words froze the smile that had just appeared on Hu Lei's face and immediately fell into despair.
Jiang Chen also shook both of his legs as he finished his sentence. The idea also made the beans sick. Jiang Chen swore in his head, but his face was still expressionless.
“Of course, compared to violence, I prefer to do a deal. I'm basically a trader, and if you're willing to work together, it's yours. ”
A soft glowing purple crystal appeared in front of Hu Lei. The terror-filled eyes slowly turned into greed.
A crystal that was worth 100 units of energy, was undoubtedly a large sum of money in the desert.
"Of course, you can lie to me with a complicated story, but if I were you, I wouldn't do that. Did your boss give you this much money? I can, if you promise to work for me. '' Jiang Chen was happy to see Hu Lei's facial expression change. He knows a good cop a bad cop strategy works.
The rest of the matter was simple, Jiang Chen easily got the information he needed from his mouth.
Hui Zhong Mercenaries, a group of mercenaries, were known for human tracking and raids of survivors. They also provide occasional protection services for specialized customer groups. The mercenary was located in a school in Song Jiang city. It was using the walls there to build a strong defense. The reason they saw Jiang Chen was just a coincidence. Hui Zhong Mercenaries had just finished trading on Sixth Street when its leader, Zhou Guoping, saw Jiang Chen pull out a can of food from his backpack. Jiang Chen was then immediately invited to the VIP room which sparked Zhou Guoping's interest.
Of course, to become the leader of the trading team, Zhou Guoping had the brains to strategize and plan. Obviously, kidnapping on Sixth Street is impossible. If he were to break the rules here, the corpses outside the market were a clear indication of the consequences he would face. Hui Zhong mercenaries also needed Sixth Street to trade for necessities. No one dared to make enemies with Sixth Street.
But if they were to kidnap outside Sixth Street, there would be no problem. The rules only apply when they are inside the walls of Sixth Street.
Zhou Guoping's head was filled with greed as he looked at the backpack full of Jiang Chen, but he still moved cautiously. He knew that many troops were trading on Sixth Street. If he messed up the wrong group of people, even his commander would not be able to save him. Zhou Guoping did not intend to kidnap them, as he only sent people to follow them. He sent one person to keep an eye on them, and another to find out more about their background.
After he saw Jiang Chen enter the vaccine shop, and then immediately go to the ammunition store, Zhou Guoping was full of shock and joy. He believed that the two of them were lone travelers in the desert as most of the powerful forces would not exchange crystals for ammunition. They usually have their own production lines.
Take Sixth Street, for example; a large ghetto is not meant to be a safe haven. Right next to the ghetto was a large factory. The plant contained all kinds of production lines that were extracted from the entire desert. Some of them were even upgraded to utilize the crystals very efficiently. They melt old metals into ammunition, mix mutant proteins with fat to make a supply of nutrients, and grow vegetables and fruits with special fertilizers. To continue to survive in the desert, production is a must. The officials at Sixth Street memorized it.
When he confirmed that they were single travelers, Zhou Guoping immediately contacted the headquarters of the mercenary group and tightened the watch on the two. These two people were richer than any group he had ever raided. Although the woman made Zhou Guoping feel a slight sense of danger, Zhou Guoping was determined to strike "gold. ”
Jiang Chen silently listened to Hu Lei's confession as he began to ponder.
“Ha, haha, boss. Don't you think you should give me that crystal now? ”Hu Lei smiled, but his eyes were fixed on that crystal, filled with greed.
A crystal worth 100 energy! He will be set for life.
One unit of energy is good enough to buy ten nutrient supplies. Oh, why did Hu Lei even need a supply of nutrients? Even if he went to the most expensive place in the desert, the New Ray Hotel, that was enough for a month! Hu Lei could not contain his excitement, even though the crystal was still in Jiang Chen's hands.
[Since this man still needs me, I won't die. He might even give me more crystals in the future. ]Hu Lei fantasizes about his future life. He imagined lying around when served by a hot blonde waitress.
A black gun shattered his fantasy, when his eyes met a pitch-black barrel.
“Stupid *ss. '' Jiang Chen sighed while pulling the trigger.
Bang out! Blood splattered everywhere, with some white liquid mixed in between. He looked at the smoke coming out of the gun, his hands trembling. Even though he was mentally prepared, and the man deserved his death because of all the crimes he committed, seeing his head split was still traumatic.
Hu Lei shut up before that was not because he was afraid of the influence of Hui Zhong Mercenaries. Because if he wanted to hide, it was impossible to find him. Even for a dominant power like Sixth Street, it would still be difficult to track down the person being sought. So, if he managed to leave the area, he would not have to worry about his safety. However, he remained silent because of how precious human life was. He was worried that once he released the information, he would be executed. However, the combination of extreme fear and overwhelming offer from Jiang Chen, turned Hu Lei into an abandoned traveler who saw an oasis in the middle of the desert. Thus, he spilled everything.
Hu Lei was too naive to believe that he could form a pact with Jiang Chen. He thought he could become a double agent in Hui Zhong Mercenaries. However, loyalty was a joke to him because true loyalty never existed in a desert where the ultimate goal was to survive.
As expected, his plan ultimately failed. The moment he finished his sentence, his value was completely gone.
Therefore, it was a wise decision to immediately execute the spy. Jiang Chen was not worried that he would be found.
Blood also splashed onto Sun Jiao. He felt disgusted but was used to such a terrifying scene. He shrugged his shoulders. “It is difficult to clean blood stains from clothes. Also, next time, you can leave these kinds of things to me. ”
A bit of attention, hidden in his last sentence, touched Jiang Chen's heart with a price.
He took a deep breath to calm his conscience. He then closed the safety and threw away the gun.
“I'll get used to it. ”
A smile appeared on Sun Jiao's face as he approached Jiang Chen. He sat at Jiang Chen's feet and hugged him. The bold move surprised Jiang Chen a little. The softest part of Sun Jiao dispelled the doubts he had.
"You're gonna stay, right?" She whispered into his ear, with her red lips.
"You know . . ? ”He asked with concerned tone but rhetoric. She hugged her beautiful body. It was Jiang Chen's greatest secret, and a secret he could never tell.
"Girls are very sensitive" he replied with a smile in his voice. "You don't deserve to be here, but I hope you don't leave me. ”
"I will never," Jiang Chen said in a soft, but firm voice.
He made a choice that night.
Yes, he originally wanted to take gold from this place and live like a millionaire in the modern world. But now, he could no longer separate himself from this world.
There is someone he loves. Therefore, it is impossible to leave. If in the future, there was a way, perhaps he could travel with Sun Jiao to the modern world. That waste is not the best place to live.
"I trust you too. ”This sentence came from the bottom of his heart.
"If this place doesn't smell like blood, I'll" eat "you here. "Emotion and excitement defeated Jiang Chen as he whispered in Sun Jiao's ear.
“But I want to take a shower first. ”
“I don't want to let go. '' Jiang Chen smacked his butt and smiled as he listened to the soft groan in his ear.
“Then you should shower with me. '' Sun Jiao kindly bit into Jiang Chen's ear. His long and agile legs held him tightly. In a seductive voice, she said, “let me see if the gene vaccine makes you stronger. ”
Shouts and screams happen. Shirts, pants, and underwear were scattered on the floor.
“It looks like the gene vaccine turned out to be effective. My feet don't even touch the ground. '' After a while, Sun Jiao took a breath as she finished enjoying herself. He poked at Jiang Chen's chest with a smile.
His once flat chest now had muscles. But since the gene vaccine only increased muscle strength and not the appearance of muscles, Jiang Chen's body didn't look too different from before. Despite his strength, it was now far superior.
"Satisfied, princess?" Jiang Chen lightly hugged the gentle figure. With a smile, he wanted to slap his butt again.
"Call me your queen" said Sun Jiao. He was playfully avoiding Jiang Chen's hand. He then covered his body with a towel. “Now it's time for business. ”
"Is it time for dinner?" Jiang Chen said with a smile as he grabbed the towel.
“Of course, but before that, we have to take care of that poor guy who's outside. ”
He watched as Sun Jiao left the bathroom with a forced smile. A little too crazy to relate**** with a corpse in the house.
[It seems I need to learn how to control myself. Yes, more control]
