Chapter 541 Receipt
According to the investigation of the Imperial Security Agency, behind the series of riots and chaos, there is a shadow of the dark world. Creatures of darkness manipulate humans in the shadows, deliberately leading to large-scale conflicts that cause death. A considerable number of these corpses were transported into the dark world, and more than hundreds of millions of human dead were thus stored and kept fresh in the special environment of freezing. Just when the empire was busy dealing with the domestic situation, the dark world, which had suddenly increased in numbers, suddenly launched a war, and the imperial army suffered heavy losses, and the emperor had to issue a general mobilization order. The fight to the death lasted for a long time, until both sides were unable to fight again and were dying, and then there was a tacit understanding between them and they fell silent.
The lessons of history are a great stimulus to the rulers of the empire. Since then, the status of the Reich Population Administration has been elevated to a strategic perspective. Although there is no universal family planning as on the planet, there is still an absolute focus on population growth in key monitoring areas. Of course, the means of regulation and control are not to arrest and kill people so barbaric and bloody, but to reduce people's incomes and deteriorate the living environment, so as to change the probability of fertility from the source and achieve the goal of controlling the population.
With a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, you will feel that it is not difficult to have more children.
With a monthly income of only one dollar, you can't even eat, where do you still have the heart to consider women? Thinking about your own next generation?
It has been a long time since the two great wars between humanity and the dark world, and it is impossible to determine the exact date of time. Even in the relevant archives of the Empire, there is only a vague approximate name, and there is no exact time.
In many places in the wilderness, traces of war can be seen.
It was strewn with all sorts of strangely shaped steel wreckage, and rust-stained metal parts could be seen from time to time among the green grass and wildflowers. There were round pipes for guns, gears for which it was impossible to determine their exact function, and even a railroad that was swallowed up in a swamp, leaving only two bent steel rails. The sleepers on it have long since decayed and become part of the dirt. The rails themselves are also crooked and corroded by various insects and are full of holes.
Near the edge of the black zone, Su Hao had seen the huge wreckage of the ship more than once. It was a huge bow, like a huge steel knife, slanted into the ground. The exposed part was about ten meters high, and the scene was solemn and desolate, even Su Hao felt shocked. There is no entrance to enter, and even if the hull armor is cut through with an energy device, it is impossible to find any clues to inquire about. It has been too long since it appeared, and everything about the old era has been erased, leaving only this piece of scrap iron, which remains silent in the embrace of nature.
The white spar slab is the only item that has not been affected by the environment and remains intact after Su Hao came to the third stage of the world. When the blue spar comes into contact with it, it also produces the same effect as in the past. The formula of the third-level gene medicine and gamma gene medicine began to appear, in addition to the indispensable blue crystal, the carbon-based life recirculating liquid, that is, Su Hao's own blood, and the spinal cord of the high-level mutant individual, that is, the rotten bacteria hormone is indispensable.
The purple spar that Gao Mo handed over to Su Hao was very small, and the quality was also very poor. Stage 3: The world's most valuable spar must be pure, and its size is also important. But no matter what, this is a purple spar after all, and even if the quality is poor, it can still be sold for a high price in the market. Su Hao wasn't sure when he would get the second purple spar? The only thing he could do was to use the purple spar as energy for the spar to absorb, revealing the recipes for the fourth-level gene potion and the delta gene potion.
More materials were needed, and for the first time, "black thyroid chitin" and "benchmark collagen" and other complex terms appeared. Fortunately, perhaps considering the different understandings of matter in different worlds, explanations of related words appeared on the hedrons. Su Hao learned that "black thyroid chitin" refers to the nails or carapaces of the corresponding species, while "benchmark collagen" refers to the skin of the corresponding species.
Delta-class genetic elixirs also require purple hedron as the main material. Su Hao didn't have anything to do about it. He was just a beta-level evolutionary, barely able to confront a third-order evolutionary. What's more, before taking the Delta Gene Elixir, one must have a third-order or gamma-level evolutionary physique. Blue Crystal he already has, but it also lacks the essential putrid hormone.
……
When Su Hao walked into Alley 113, it was already dark.
Redstone is a chaotic place, with buildings and streets that aren't planned at all. Between the shacks is the lane, and between the brick and stone buildings is the street. People have become accustomed to using numbers as the names of streets and alleys. Because these passages can disappear at any time, some people who have no place to live will build them privately, and the lanes you used to walk in may be blocked by shacks that pop up out of nowhere after a few hours. Of course, this approach will cause dissatisfaction, but whether the problem is solved or not has nothing to do with "morality" or "reason". No one wants to voluntarily give up the territory they have already occupied, and whenever this happens, the knife and strength show the most basic value of savings. In a fight, a fight, someone sheds blood for it, or simply kills the other party, and the problem of quarrels with each other is completely settled. As a result, the streets were restored to their original smoothness, or they continued to be blocked, and people had to find another entrance and exit and open a new road.
Alley 113 is just that. Although Su Hao was a stranger in Redstone City, living in it for only a few months, the location of Alley 113 had changed four times. The approximate location is in that area, and as long as you are patient and go back and forth a few times, you will always find the entrance. It's just that the ground there is always wet, and there is a faint blood in the air.
Su Hao wore a mask and walked quickly through the alley with his head down. Overly handsome looks are the focus of trouble here. He already knows this very well. It's not just women who like him, but men as well. Just the last time he came, Su Hao had to swing a knife and cut off the head of a strong man who was in front of him. That guy was very stubborn, thinking that Su Hao was a woman, and was willing to pay two silver coins as a prostitute for Su Hao to sleep with him all night. The price was actually quite fair, even higher than the other women in Redstone asked for. Unfortunately, that guy was looking for the wrong person.
When Su Hao walked into the room, Liu Qiang was oiling parts of an assault rifle. Since they were acquaintances with each other and didn't need more politeness, Liu Qiang smiled and pointed to the single sofa next to him, Su Hao leaned his backpack and weapon at his feet and sat down.
In the past few months, Su Hao has done four low-level missions for the Dark Hunter Guild. The content is nothing more than killing a dark warrior or a high-ranking corpse, or surveying a specific area. These tasks are well accomplished and employers are satisfied. Especially in the last mission, after Su Hao completed exploration, he also discovered an old energy reactor in the designated area. For employers, this amounts to an extra amount of wealth. As a result, Su Hao received an additional reward of fifty silver coins, and also met Liu Qiang, a businessman.
The set of armor that was stripped from the Dark Knight Dewes, Su Hao handed it over to Liu Qiang to deal with. This armor is beautifully crafted and has high defense. Although it does not come with a small energy shield powered by a hedron, it is also a rare product among the low-ranking dark nobles. This armor is in great demand within the Empire. Of course, it's not that the Empire's armor is of poor quality, but in terms of beauty and artistry, the two are really not comparable. Dark creatures often understand the word "art" more thoroughly than humans. They will turn anything into a work of art with elaborate handmade zuò, and the empire is not absolutely absent in this regard, but the amount it produces each year is far from satisfying the demand.
Liu Qiang took out twenty imperial gold coins in exchange for armor, but Su Hao didn't want money. What he needed was "Lavonine", a drug with an effect similar to that of a powder on Earth.
"Sorry! You'll have to wait a little longer. ”
Liu Qiang had a smile on his face, but his expression was obviously apologetic: "You know, the continent we are currently in is not suitable for the growth of Lavoning plants. This cargo transport has to rely on airships, and the weather there has been a bit of an anomaly lately, with hurricanes being so strong that many goods have been delayed. I can't do anything about it. ”
There are different continents in this world. This is very similar to the earth. Different regions produce different goods, Su Hao can understand this. He was just in a hurry to need ravonin, which was essential for the production of putrefaction hormones.
Su Hao was a little impatient when he heard his voice: "How long do you have to wait?" ”
Liu Qiang spread his hands and shook his head: "I don't know either." Damn hurricanes come a couple of times a year at this time. You're not alone in needing Lavonin. I know you're here to get that expensive ash liquid, but there's a lot of addicts in Redstone. You've probably heard that a guy jumped from the gates this morning. It was a heavy addict and had been out of stock for two days. For them, this torture is really worse than death. ”
Ash refers to the hormone of rotten bacteria.
Su Hao frowned, and changed the topic rather helplessly: "So, do you have ......?"
"It's not that I don't help you, it's that I really don't."
Without waiting for Su Hao to finish speaking, Liu Qiang himself smiled bitterly: "Although I can speak somewhat in Red Rock City, I am not a wealthy businessman with a background after all. I've only handled the ash stuff once, and it was a few years ago. It's hard to come by, and while everyone knows that Lavoning can make ash from dark creatures, the odds are too low. Even if it is 10,000 units of Lavonin, it is difficult to succeed once. ”
Although the names are different, the probability of producing rotten hormones in the third stage world is similar to that of Su Hao's original era. Here, ash liquor is an expensive commodity. However, its specific role is not to be used in the preparation of pharmaceutical agents, but to make special neurostimulant drugs and materials for special stimulants. This stimulant can cause hallucinations in the person who takes it, but does not damage the nerves and brain. In terms of effect, it is about the same as the drug Lavonine, but it is safe and, due to its high price, can only be enjoyed by wealthy merchants.
Only the purest lavonine can be used to make ash liquor. In general, drugs for addicts are diluted at least 100 times. The last time he sold the armor, Su Hao ordered a hundred units from Liu Qiang, which was a high-purity Lavoning equivalent to a hundred imperial gold coins. A whole month passed, and he still couldn't get the goods.
Su Hao knew that Liu Qiang was not lying. There's a drug shortage everywhere in Redstone. The Dark Hunters Guild has never been involved in the business of Lavonin and the like, and this thing is not difficult to get by usually, but during this time, it is true that the hurricane is raging, and the air shipping is interrupted.
"Don't worry, it's only temporary."
Although in Redstone City, "friend" is a term that both feel false, Liu Qiang believes that Su Hao can do nothing to hide his selfishness in the entrusted task, and he already has the conditions to be his friend. He didn't understand why Su Hao needed Lavoning so urgently, so he could only persuade him verbally: "Hurricanes are seasonal, and there are still two weeks at most before the route can be restored." At that point, you'll have as much ravonen as you want. ”
Su Hao could only smile bitterly.
He had never been more eager to evolve again. Hate has never been so near, nor has it ever been so real. DeVita, as well as the Black Wolf Gang, were all included in Su Hao's death list. He is definitely not their opponent now, but if he gets the gamma gene potion, it will be different.
In addition to the putrefaction hormone, the rest of the materials Su Hao has been prepared. Even if he directly purchased the ash liquid, Su Hao still had more than five thousand gold coins on his account, and he could also apply to the Dark Hunter Guild to get a loan amount of thousands of gold coins. But the problem is that many things are priceless, such as ash liquid.
Su Hao declined Liu Qiang's invitation to have a drink, left the hut in a gloomy mood, and walked slowly towards the "Silver Arrow" bar.
……
Still entering through the back door, when he walked up the stairs on the second floor, Su Hao saw Sam and the maid Grace in the bar.
Sam was walking out of the kitchen with a plate, and when he saw Su Hao, it was like seeing a ghost. Sam's originally active body suddenly stiffened, and the appearance of a hippie smile disappeared in an instant. His face was pale, his whole body was trembling up and down, and his whole body involuntarily shrank into the corner, his eyes were full of fear and pleading, and he was almost about to cry.
After returning from the Dark Hunters Guild last time, Su Hao called Sam to the open space behind the tavern and beat him up. It is not only for the revenge of the previous time, but also for the venting of the mission of the "Thunder" company. Only the most astute of people can act as cousins, and Sam must know something about the task itself. But he didn't mention a word to Su Hao from beginning to end, and he took the honorarium with peace of mind. If it was outside the city, Su Hao would not hesitate to kill Sam directly. But here, he more or less had to give face to his boss Ahlers. The best thing to do is to give Sam a strong beating to give Sam, the bastard, a long memory.
For this kind of soft egg, Su Hao didn't even have the interest to take a second look, and walked directly up the stairs.
But the maid Grace followed.
She blocked Su Hao in the single bedroom on the second floor, her attitude was very arrogant, and her actions were extremely flamboyant. Su Hao just took out the key to open the door lock, and when he walked in, Grace had already followed quickly, holding the door panel with his left hand, standing at the door unceremoniously in a very provocative, but also able to detect a strong dissatisfaction.
She wears a poorly made black bunny girl uniform. Although the fabric is very elastic, the price is extremely low, and there is no breathability at all. The only advantage of this high-leg swimsuit is that it is very tight, which perfectly reflects the curves of the body, and makes the slender waist and full breasts all stand out. Just looking at these, it makes people have a very line and charming sexiness.
Grace looks ordinary, but her makeup is very heavy, especially her lips, which are unusually bright red, and against the background of thick black eyeshadow, it seems like a flame that may jump at any time. She stared at Su Hao coldly, her eyes under her long eyelashes kept blinking, her gaze was quite resentful, and she was faintly sad. This expression can be seen in many soap operas during times of peace on Earth. Especially after a female character is deceived by a handsome male protagonist and has an abnormal intimate contact such as a one-night stand, it is even more clear at a glance.
"Why are you avoiding me?"
Grace's question was quite direct, she walked into the room, lifted her right leg wrapped in black mesh stockings, and stomped heavily on the chair, ignoring the fact that this action could make Su Hao look under herself, and shouted angrily: "It's been several months, you always see me like you don't see me, am I that terrible?" Or am I annoying you? ”
Su Hao put down his backpack and weapon, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he smiled and said hello.
It's no secret that Grace loves herself, at the Silver Arrow bar. Neither the boss Ares nor the chef, or the fat cook or anything else, had no objection to this matter. Red Rock City is a filthy gathering center, where no one is more noble than anyone else, and even good people walk into the city, and they can't help but be affected and become bad people. Since everyone is a villain, it is better to get together with each other, find love, and reorganize the family.
Except, of course, for Sam's kind of character, all of his opinions and ideas can be ignored.
Su Hao knew that it was impossible for him to accept any woman other than Xinyan. Nothing will ever change at this point.
The problem is, Grace doesn't see it that way.
She has always felt that Su Hao is her own, and this man must be possessed by herself, and she will never give it to others.
