8 Huizhong Mercenaries (2/2)

Take Sixth Street, for example; the enormous ghetto is not meant to be a safe heaven. Immediately beside the ghetto was a massive factory. The factory contained all kinds of production lines extracted from all over the wasteland. Some of them are even improved to utilize the highly efficient crystals. They melted old metals into ammo, mixed mutant proteins with fat to create nutrient supply, and farmed vegetables and fruits with special fertilizers. To continuously survive on the wasteland, production was a necessity. The officials of Sixth Street knew that by heart.

This was even more critical especially given all the stores of Wanghai city were raided clean more than ten years ago.

As he confirmed that they were lone travelers, Zhou Guoping immediately contacted the headquarters of the mercenary group and tightened the watch on the two. These two were more wealthy than any group he has ever raided. Although the woman made Zhou Guoping felt a slight danger, Zhou Guoping was determined to strike the ”gold.”

Jiang Chen silently listened to Hui Lei’s confession as he began to ponder.

”Ha, haha, boss. Don’t you think you should give me that crystal now?” Hui Lei smiled, but his eyes were fixed on the crystal, full of greed.

100 energy worth of crystal! He would be set for life.

One energy unit was good enough to buy ten nutrient supply. Oh, why would Hui Lei even need nutrient supply? Even if he went to the most expensive place on wasteland, New Ray Hotel, it would be enough for a month! Hui Lei could not contain his excitement, even though the crystal was still in Jiang Chen’s hands.

[Since this man still needs me, I will not die. He will probably even give me more crystals in the future.] Hui Lei fantasized about his future life. He imagined lying around while being served by a hot blonde maid.

A black pistol shattered his fantasy, as his eyes met with the pitch black barrel.

”Dumb*ss.” Jiang Chen sighed as he pulled the trigger.

Bang! Blood splattered everywhere, with some white liquids mixed in between. He looked at the smoke coming from the pistol, his hand trembled. Although he was mentally prepared, and the guy was deserving of his death due to all the crimes he committed, seeing the head split open was still traumatizing.

Hui Lei kept his mouth closed before was not because he feared the Huizhong Mercenaries’ influence. For if he wanted to hide, it would be impossible to find him. Even for a dominant force like Sixth Street, it would still be difficult to trace a wanted person. So, if he managed to leave the area, he would not need to worry about his safety. However, he kept his silence because of how worthless a human life could be. He was worried that the second he let any information out, he would be executed. However, the combination of extreme fear and an incredible offer from Jiang Chen, turned Hui Lei into a stranded traveler who saw an oasis in the middle of a desert. Thus, he spilled everything.

Hui Lei was too naïve to believe that he could form an agreement with Jiang Chen. He thought he could be a double agent in the Huizhong Mercenaries. However, loyalty was a joke to him because true loyalty never existed on a wasteland where the ultimate goal was to survive.

As predicted, his plan ultimately came short. The moment he finished his sentence, his value was completely gone.

Therefore, it was a wise decision to execute the spy immediately. Jiang Chen was not worried that he would be found.

Blood also splattered onto Sun Jiao. She was slighted disgusted but was used to such gruesome scenes. She shrugged. ”It’s difficult to wash blood stains off of clothing. Also, next time, you can leave these types of things to me.”

The hint of care, hidden in her last sentence, touched Jiang Chen's heart dearly.

He took a deep breath to calm his conscience. He then closed the safety and tossed the gun away.

”I will get used to it.”

A smile broke out on Sun Jiao’s face as she approached Jiang Chen. She sat on Jiang Chen’s leg and hugged him. The bold move slightly surprised Jiang Chen. The softest part of Sun Jiao took away any doubt he had.

”You are going to stay, right?” She whispered into his ear, with her red lips.

”You know..?” He asked in a concerned but rhetoric tone. He hugged her gorgeous body. It was Jiang Chen’s biggest secret, and a secret he could never tell.

”Girls are very sensitive,” she replied with a grin in her voice. ”You don’t belong here, but I hope you don’t leave me.”

”I will never,” Jiang Chen said in a soft, but determined voice.

He had already made a choice that night.

Yes, he initially wanted to take the 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 was someone he cared about. Therefore, it was impossible to leave. If in the future, there was a way, maybe he could time travel with Sun Jiao into the modern world. The wasteland wasn’t exactly the best place to stay.

”I also believe you.” This sentence came from the bottom of his heart.

”If this place didn’t smell like blood, I would ”eat” you right here.” Emotion and joy overcame Jiang Chen as he whispered into Sun Jiao’s ear.

”But, I want to take a shower first.”

”I don’t want to let go.” Jiang Chen smacked her butt and grinned as he listened to the soft moans by his ear.

”Then you’ll have to take a shower with me.” Sun Jiao playfully bit onto Jiang Chen’s ear. Her long and agile legs held onto him tightly. In a seductive voice, she said, ”let me see if the gene vaccine made you any stronger.”

A roar and a scream ensued. Shirts, pants, and underwear scattered across the floor… There was a battle between man and woman in the washroom.

”It looks like the gene vaccine was effective after all. My feet didn’t even touch the ground.” After a while, Sun Jiao collected her breath as she finished enjoying herself. She poked at Jiang Chen’s chest with a grin.

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. Though his strength, was now far more superior.

”Satisfied, my princess?” Jiang Chen lightly embraced the delicate figure. With a smile, he wanted to slap her butt again.

”Call me your queen,” Sun Jiao said. She playfully avoided Jiang Chen’s hand. She then covered her body with a towel. ”It’s now time for business.”

”Time to eat dinner?” Jiang Chen said smiling as he also grabbed a towel.

”Of course, but before that, we need to take care the unfortunate guy that’s outside.”

He watched Sun Jiao leave the washroom with a forced smile. It was a bit too crazy to have sex with a dead body in the house.

[It looks like I need to learn how to control myself. Yes, more control]
