Chapter 296: Lake Mall
It turns out that the guy is just a liar.
Those pills weren't even Jett at all, but something quirky
Two pills went down, and the guy fell unconscious to the ground.
This is obviously not Jet, and Jet is not going to faint after eating two slices. Thinking of the black-hearted merchant selling this thing to him just now, the soldiers were angry. Retrieved the yajing from this guy and threw him at the camp gate.
The fragments of Yajing were divided among several soldiers, but the large piece of Yajing with 530 points was paid by Jiang Chen, and they didn't dare to take it. The captain pondered for a while, and finally took Yajing and sent it back to Jiang Chen in person, and reported the matter of the counterfeit medicine merchant truthfully.
At the first glance of the businessman, Jiang Chen knew that the goods were not a good thing, so he was not surprised by the news reported by the captain. I paid for that bottle of medicine just to pass the time and tease the unsightly liar.
As for the 530 points of Yajing, Jiang Chen didn't ask for it, and directly waved his hand to let the captain take it back and share it with the soldiers on duty. The wall has not been built, and it is very hard to stand in the wind and snow with a gun in hand. These 530 points of subcrystal, each person can share 5 points at least, which is a lot of wealth for them who are well fed and clothed but have little money in their pockets.
Seeing the grateful captain running out of the door in a hurry, Jiang Chen smiled, locked the door of the barracks, and lay on the bed to prepare for sleep.
At this point, he thought that this little episode was over, but who would have thought that this matter was not over
Early the next morning.
Under the bus stop outside the square. In the cold wind stood a trembling figure. From time to time, the man looked towards the end of the street, occasionally rolling up his sleeves to look at the look. From time to time, the two eyebrows squeezed together, as if anxiously waiting for something.
This was the case for a while.
On this lonely street. His behavior seemed very bizarre.
The soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp looked at the strange fellow from afar and pointed at him.
After a while, accompanied by two soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons, Jiang Chen walked over slowly.
Looking closer, when he found out that this guy was Meng Qian who was peddling medicine to him yesterday, Jiang Chen unexpectedly raised his eyebrows and walked to his side.
"What are you doing?"
"Do you still need to ask? Wait for the bus. Glancing at Jiang Chen, who was standing beside him, Meng Qian said disapprerovingly.
"Bus?" Jiang Chen looked at him with interest.
"That's right. It seems to be late. Meng Qian scolded a few words in annoyance, but then gave up and sighed, tightened his collar, and prepared to leave.
"Wait, where's your cow?" Seeing that he was leaving, Jiang Chen stopped him and asked.
"Niu, what are you talking about?" Turning around, Meng Qian looked at Jiang Chen with strange eyes, and asked rhetorically with a frown.
The look in his eyes was as if he was looking at a neuropathy.
Is this pretending to be stupid or is it really stupid? Jiang Chen's expression was also a little weird.
His instincts told him. This reaction is likely to be related to yesterday's drug.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Go to work. The man said impatiently.
"Go to work?" Jiang Chen was stunned, and his eyes looked at him with a hint of a nervous disorder.
"yes, any questions? It's all like this" Rolling up his cuffs and glancing, Meng Qian scolded and scolded, and no longer paid attention to Jiang Chen. Walk briskly to the other side of the street.
The soldier standing behind Jiang Chen raised his gun, ready to stop the man. However, he was stopped by Jiang Chen.
Looking thoughtfully at Meng Qian, who was walking away quickly, Jiang Chen ordered the two soldiers.
"You two go after first. I'll come later. ”
"Yes. The two soldiers stood up and saluted, and immediately trotted over with their rifles in hand.
Back at the camp, Jiang Chen greeted Cheng Weiguo, then put on his T-3 power armor and chased after him.
The two people in charge of following Meng Qian are both knights of the fish bone base, and they have implanted the "honor chip" that is just a different title, and the two-dimensional coordinates will be presented in the form of green dots on the EP map.
Importing the map information onto the holographic screen in the power armor helmet, Jiang Chen chased towards the two green dots at full speed.
The snow on the road was very thick, and Jiang Chen originally planned to start the sliding mode to chase after him, but the sliding wheel on the soles of his feet was seriously skidding, so he had to run over with steps.
After a delay on the road, when Jiang Chen arrived at his destination, he saw that the two soldiers were already waiting there.
"What about people?" slowed down and walked in front of the two, Jiang Chen asked.
"Got in. We were worried about startling the snake, so we didn't follow up. One soldier pointed across the street.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked over.
It was a small shopping mall about three stories high. The sign with the words "Lake Mall" slumped distorted from the roof, and the wreckage of the car at the entrance indicated that business was good before the war. Many of the windows in the mall were nailed up with wooden planks or other materials, and the unsealed windows were tightly covered with curtains.
Only the glass door downstairs of the mall swaggered open.
All possibilities of peeking inside from the outside are sealed, but no barriers are erected to enter the main entrance of the building.
No matter how you look at it, this building is suspicious!
Looking at the entrance of the black hole, Jiang Chen frowned and turned on the radio life detection device mounted on the power armor. Ripples swept across the map on the holographic screen, but the cursor swept over the building, but didn't return a single wave.
From this point of view alone, there is no human activity in this mall.
Jiang Chen was not too surprised by this, but was even more convinced that there must be a ghost in it.
Although this thing works well in the less technological world, it doesn't work so well in the last days. Many survivor settlements, mercenary groups, or marauders with a little bit of intelligence will set up life signal shielding devices in their homes to prevent their coordinates from being detected by people with ulterior motives.
The guy named Meng Qian from before had just entered, how could there be no one here?
"How long has he been in?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.
The older soldier raised his hand and looked at the EP, "Ten minutes." ”
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.
Is it a coincidence that the strange magic medicine suddenly appeared at the door of the camp?
Camp 27 had only been established for two days, and the wall had not been half built. At this time, a merchant suddenly appeared passing by, and he was not sure if the group was friendly to the ordinary survivors, so he walked over and peddled merchandise to the sentry with a gun at the door.
If a soldier bought his medicine, would he hallucinate and come here?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's face showed a solemn look, but then his expression was relieved again.
If he came here for the fish bone base, he would not even be unrecognizable as a marshal. However, judging from the words and deeds of the merchant, it seems that he does not recognize his appearance. From this point, it can be inferred that he should not have come for the fish bone base.
Then I should be heading for Vault 027!
Jiang Chen's eyes gradually lit up, and the clues in his mind gradually became clear.
The other party learned about the opening of Vault 027 through some means. For some purpose, an attempt was made to abduct the inhabitants of the Vault. But the businessman apparently did not know the details of the plan, and was only instructed to sell such drugs there, so he did not care whether the other party was "blue-skinned" or not.
That makes sense.
As for what the other party's purpose is, I'm afraid you can only know if you go in.
Looking at the dark gate and a few windows that were only sealed with cloth, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea in his heart. (To be continued.) )
