Chapter 1175 - You will soon know who is the lunatic (1/2)

When Zhao Qiuran pa.s.sed by the guards at the gate, her heart pounded rapidly.

Fortunately, the guards did not measure heart rates as she narrowly escaped from the city.

After they walked a hundred meters out from the city gate, the group turned onto a street. Just as Zhao Qiuran was about to say something to Jiang Chen, twenty guns were pointed directly at her.

She swallowed the thank you down and immediately raised her hands.

Although her stats were higher than everyone else here, her body was not stronger than bullets and kinetic skeletons. She did not doubt for one second that if she showed the slightest hostility, these twenty guns would make her into a sieve.

“Miss Zhao Qiuran, I think you should be able to talk about it now?” Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Zhao Qiuran, who was tense and said without much emotion. “For example, how did you know I bought that ID card.”

“Telesthesia.” Zhao Qiuqi took a deep breath and said quickly, “You should have heard about the hidden genetic code before. My ability can perceive the spiritual characteristics of human beings within a certain range and exert influence… Listen, I absolutely mean no harm.”

Telesthesia?

When Jiang Chen heard these words, he processed the information for a second. Then he suddenly recalled a person he encountered in the modern world.

Around two years ago, when he destroyed the Kurofune, a girl stood in the middle of the road and used her ability to mentally shock him.

That was his first contact with someone capable of using spiritual powers.

He once asked Lin Lin about this but did not get an exact answer.

Even before the war, the three key words of spirit, brain, and brainwave were high-frequency terms in research topics in the frontiers of biotechnology. These research topics including discussions such as why the brain marrow was enriched with Klein particles, and the supernatural interference of brain waves on physical phenomena. Even in the twenty-second century, these were unsolved mysteries.

The nature that humans perceived was just the tip of the iceberg.

The more you climb the mountain, the smaller you will feel. That was a true statement.

“Are you satisfied with my answer?” Zhao Qiuran stared nervously at Jiang Chen.

“Somewhat,” Jiang Chen said.

He paused for a moment, then continued.

“You said earlier, you know something that is important to me?”

Zhao Qiuran nodded immediately.

“I fled through the ventilation ducts and pa.s.sed VIP booth 001 when I left. Sunday Club owner Wan Peng and his subordinate Lu Sen were inside. I heard they were planning against you…”

Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.

“Just this?”

Zhao Qiuran’s expression froze and she asked awkwardly.

“Does this not count?”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

“Setting Wan Peng aside, even if Ding Liwei wanted to plot against me, and even if the entire Survivors Alliance or the entire city behind you were against me, I could overturn them, and the city inside out. If he really bothers me, I’ll just get rid of him.

Jiang Chen’s words gave Zhao Qiuran chills.

Although the murderous vibe was not directed at her, the vibe that she felt still made her hands and feet icy.

h.e.l.l, this guy obviously doesn’t look strong, how is he scarier than Death Claws.

But this is bullsh*t right…

With her scalp numb, Zhao Qiuran kept her hands up and nervously thought.

She did not know Jiang Chen’s ident.i.ty. In her mind, the ident.i.ty of the man in front of her should be at most the leader of a settlement. To destroy Pingan Street… just thinking of the heavy machineguns mounted on the giant wall made her unable to think of anything that could do this deed.

“I still have a question, how did you escape?” Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Qiuran. “There are many ways to make an escaped slave die. I don’t believe that the raiders who caught you didn’t give you a shackle. Electronic collars, slavery chips, as far as the ‘security measures’ I know, there are already a lot.”

“There are many ways to put on shackles, and there are many ways to break shackles,” said Zhao Qiuran.

“For example?” Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

“Isn’t it just a chip implanted in the spinal nerve?” Zhao Qiuran shrugged, “As long as the who implanted it unlocks it, then it’s fine.”

Jiang Chen suddenly nodded.

Since she did possess spiritual abilities, through the means of mental intervention, she could make the buyers subconsciously lift the security authority on slavery chips.
