Chapter 1727 Who Reaps the Benefits (1/2)
A train's horn cracked the air, while powerful aircraft flew through the sky above.
Han Sen was a little confused when it came to Kate technology. You could see old steam trains, but you could also see nuclear-fueled aircraft. Some people even rode creatures on the street.
It was bewildering to witness the great mix of technology that co-existed.
Han Sen scoured the internet to learn more about Kate's history. He knew Kate wasn't very well-developed because they had been invaded a few times, and much of their technology was leftover from other cultures. That was one of the primary factors that contributed to the mix of different technologies.
The Kate people had only had their liberty for a few dozen years. It wasn't too long ago that they had been ruled by outsiders.
Qiao's red ladybug car came to a stop before the abandoned factory. Qiao and Lan Se's faces darkened.
A big truck was parked in front of the factory, and a few aircraft circled the airspace. It looked like someone had beaten them there.
”It's Black Gold Group.” Qiao saw the symbol on the truck and frowned.
Lan Se frowned and said, ”Weird. Why are they here? No one else should know, except for the members of security.”
Qiao looked disappointed and said, ”With Black Gold's power, it's not a surprise they can grab information like this.”
As they discussed this, two people dismounted an armored truck and approached them.
Han Sen noticed that the approaching figures weren't strangers. It was Hardman and his secretary, Lena.
Hardman walked to the car and knocked on the window.
Qiao rolled the windows down, and with a smug and boastful face, Hardman immediately said, ”Qiao, are you interested in the xenogeneic here? It is a shame you are late.”
After that, Hardman glanced at Han Sen but did not say anything.
”It looks like you haven't got what you came for, though. That means it isn't too late. Sorry, we're in a rush. Can't talk.” Qiao started up the car and drove past the truck.
Hardman didn't try to stop them. He just looked at the car and laughed. ”They are for real! Qiao really thinks that Han Sen has what it takes to kill a xenogeneic?”
”Like she said; they are in a rush. Desperate people will do anything.” Lena laughed, too.
Hardman shook his head and returned to the armored truck. Guris was inside commanding the operation.
Lan Se observed the soldiers situated all around, and her heart sank. ”It looks like we won't have the slightest chance. Black Gold employs far too many soldiers. He'll find it before we will.”
”Maybe they won't, and maybe it's a good thing.” Qiao's eyes went bright, and she sped up. ”Sit tight. We are going to find the xenogeneic.”
The car kicked up dust while speeding ahead.
”How does Qiao know where to go?” Lena asked in surprise. She watched the car through Black Gold's cameras.
”Qiao is a smart woman. Although I tried to position my soldiers to mislead her, she still found it. They used us to find the xenogeneic,” Guris said.
