Chapter 190: St. Louis (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve)

Chen Ji knew how troublesome the post-apocalyptic abilities would become.

Lin Zhiyang couldn't deal with this at all.

Kill him, and he will flee directly by exchanging his body, and he may pay a certain price, but he can survive.

Locked up on him, I don't know how many bodies he has, I don't know how he will escape.

It was impossible for Chen Ji and Zhou Wan to keep an eye on him, and the rest of the powerful abilities were the same.

Eventually, he had to be imprisoned deep underground, in a special metal cell with an ability monitoring device that would sound an alarm if he used his ability.

"Swap bodies?"

Nine Domains, after Mu Xiaoxiao read the message sent by Chen Ji, he frowned and thought about it, and replied to him: "I don't know, there are thousands of exercises in the Nine Domains, and such an ability is not uncommon, judging from the three hundred and sixty laws of the Nine Domains, his ability involves the laws of life and space." ”

"It's a pity that the Destiny Fragment that went to the apocalyptic world has also changed, otherwise you can vaguely sense his location if you hold the Destiny Fragment in your hand."

Chen Ji nodded in understanding, "I'll invite you next time I see the Destiny Fragment." ”

Next time?

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought, could it be that after disliking her, he disturbed him to fall in love with Zhou Wan?

"Humph!"

……

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan stayed at Xia Guo's trading base in Ah Mei Ken for one night.

Lin Zhiyang was also tossed for one night, but unfortunately, whether it was Luo Yang's dream or Huang Xiao's telepathy, it didn't play much role for him, and he could only see some broken pictures, knowing that Lin Zhiyang and Lei Jeff were not alone.

The next day, several cars drove out of the garage and drove to Sansi State, Ronnie State and other states where the lion king Rayjeff would frequent, and collected intelligence separately.

Chen Ji watched the car leave, and smiled at Zhang Jiande: "Our operation, does Ah Meiken know?" ”

It's weird to think about.

He and Zhou Wan and a group of people drove all the way from the sea from Xia Country to Ameiken, and directly did things in Ameiken, if it was placed before the apocalypse, the world would be a sensation, causing all kinds of crises, and a large group of media reported wildly.

"I don't know!"

Zhang Jiande smiled mysteriously: "But no one knows, and it won't be reported, and the news media are all closed...... Even if they protest, what can they do? We have mastered the power and intelligence systems of the other party's Doom base, and even the crop seeds are given to them by us, and they can't protest. ”

Chen Ji laughed.

Mastering the other party's food and energy is indeed the best way to control the opponent, which is much more fatal than any chip.

"Shall we go first, then?"

"Okay, be careful, you meet with the informant first, and if you are in trouble, you can also ask for support, we also have a lot of forces here that can be mobilized!"

"Okay, I understand."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Jiande, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan got into the back seat of the Chevrolet SUV, and Gu Jianfei was responsible for driving and left the underground garage.

The team acted separately, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan together, the two of them were strong, so only Huang Xiao was added, and her telepathic ability had miraculous effects in many places.

As for Gu Jianfei who was driving, he was special after all, and there was a clone of him in the four teams that acted separately.

The clone and the body are inseparable, which means that he alone has five perspectives and can quickly transmit information between the four teams.

This kind of communication ability is very strong, but unfortunately the human brain has a limit after all, there are too many doppelgangers, and the brain can't process information will make him fall into a state of chaos, and controlling ten doppelgangers at the same time is already the limit.

"Or do I want to drive?"

Chen Ji asked Gu Jianfei who was driving, driving four perspectives at the same time, I was really afraid that he would hit the car.

"No, you don't."

Gu Jianfei's personality was a little taciturn, and after saying no, he added another sentence: "I can drive, after all, you haven't been back for three years, and you are not familiar with the road conditions." ”

Driving in the ice and snow does require technology, and Chen Ji used to drive completely regardless of scratching, just recklessly.

"Okay."

Chen Ji nodded, and after seeing Zhou Wan and Huang Xiao chatting in a whisper, he took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of the trading base behind him, ready to send them to Xiao Zhou Wan later.

After crossing the world, I can no longer communicate with her, and I don't know if the two Zhou Wan have dreamed of each other?

"Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Wan seemed to sense something and glanced back at him.

"I didn't ...... Anyway, Huang Xiao, you haven't found a boyfriend yet? ”

Chen Ji thought of her younger brother Huang Yuwen, who had only been a little ambiguous with Kong Xiaomin for three years, and did not confirm the relationship.

Huang Xiao shook his head: "What kind of boyfriend are you looking for, at this time... I'm not interested, I'll talk about it later. ”

After the apocalypse, fewer people got married, and fewer had children.

Chen Ji turned his head, and it just so happened that Zhou Wan next to him also turned to look at him, and the two looked at each other and held hands together.

The car drove all the way forward, and the speed was much slower than when Huang Yuwen drove it before, so Chen Ji could see the surrounding scene clearly.

Compared with three years ago, mutant creatures no longer attack humans because of light, and it is much safer to drive in the wild.

After driving for three hours in this dimly lit environment, Chen Ji and the four of them arrived in St. Louis City, Suzhou Misu, where Ameiken's second doomsday base was located, also underground.

Beneath the ground are an elite population of more than three million, who can afford expensive rents, are adapted to orderly life, and have vast resources at their disposal.

Above the ground, it's a haven for gangs and violent groups, and shortly after the car drove into the city, it was robbed in the street.

"Hey, get out of the car, where did you cousins come from? Dare to enter our inky black-controlled neighborhood! ”

"Boy, get out of the car, let's check and check!"

A group of guys wearing thick coats, hoods, and strange English symbols on their cheeks, armed with all kinds of guns, surrounded Chen Ji's Chevrolet SUV.

"What should I do?"

Zhou Wan turned her head to look at Chen Ji.

"I'll do it."

Huang Xiao is very familiar with this situation, although she has not been to Ameiken many times after the apocalypse, but the wilderness of the world is almost chaotic, the difference is only that when the mass murder occurs, whether anyone comes out to take care of it.

She rolled down the window, looked at the taller gun-wielding old Mo who was closest to her, and asked in very proficient English, "What's your name?" ”

Her voice turned into a strange demagogic force, burrowing into the ears of the gun-wielding old Mo, impacting his mind and making him subconsciously answer:

"My name is Pablo HernΓ‘ndez."

"Who is it?"

"Yes, it's the ...... of the Ink Black Gang"

"Boss!!"

One of his subordinates shouted, making him suddenly get rid of Huang Xiao's mental bewitchment, and in an instant, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he stepped back with a gun.

"It turned out to be a psychic powerhouse...... You can go. ”

Pablo swallowed this breath and chose not to have more conflicts with the people in the car.

The other party can easily control him, but fortunately, he can also get rid of this kind of mind control, and the outcome of the fight between the two sides is unknown.

Huang Xiao smiled and asked him again, "Do you know a person named He Junmao?" He is a native of Xia and is of Asian descent. ”

The gang clenched their guns and looked at her vigilantly.

Their boss had already let him go, but the woman was still asking.

"That guy?"

Pablo looked at Huang Xiao's clean and fair face, and noticed that the people in the car were very calm, and guessed that they were from underground, strong, and rich.

"If you pay me five hundred dollars, I'll take you to him!"

Pablo opened his mouth and asked for five hundred.

Huang Xiao took out a fiery red ten-dollar bill and shook it at him: "If you agree, this is a tip for you to lead the way." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Deal! ”

Pablo motioned for one of his men to come up and take the dollar.

"Boss, it's money in 2027!"

The subordinates confirmed the authenticity of the banknotes and were pleasantly surprised.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan witnessed the transaction in the car and felt very interesting.

After the apocalypse, banknotes became waste paper, and no one cared about gold, silver and jewelry, but human society could barely sustain itself, and there were transactions, so it still had to use a credit currency.

For the post-apocalyptic society, even gold seems too much, and before the apocalypse, banks, consortia, and wealthy people hold a large amount of gold, and many people don't recognize it at all and don't want to exchange materials for gold.

This requires a new type of currency, which can only be replaced by a currency that can only be obtained after the end of the world.

Xia Guo is a merit point, and Ameiken prints a red banknote after the end of the day, symbolizing the hope that the sun will rise again.

It's just that Chen Ji heard that Ah Meiken played "water release" a few times after the apocalypse, and successfully depreciated the red dollar bill again, resulting in the higher the red banknote in the manufacturing year, the more valuable it is, and the recognition is the highest.

Under the leadership of Pablo, Chen Ji and the four of them came to a small bar with yellow lights, which is rare to see a place with perennial lights in the dim city.

Pablo personally watched the SUV door open and saw the four people in the car walk down and into the bar.

"Boss, these people don't seem to be from the Saint-Louis underground." One of his subordinates whispered.

The surrounding black gang members were a little unbearable on their faces.

The four men parked on the side of the road as soon as they got out of the car, and seemed not afraid of them snatching it at all.

The muscles on Pablo's face twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go back...... Recently, I have been a little more restrained, and I will also tell the boss that there are Xia people coming to Saint Louis. ”

"Xia Guo?"

The old Mo around them were silent.

The post-apocalyptic Xia Kingdom is a bit scary.

……

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan walked side by side into the lighted bar called Rose Perfume.

Descending the stairs, we came to a rather large underground room with seven or eight lights on.

Surprisingly, it was quiet inside.

The arrival of the four did not attract much attention, and the dozen or so people sitting in the bar just glanced at it, then turned their heads to drink in silence, which was more like a haven than the street of St. Louis, where gunshots could often be heard outside.

Maybe it's because of the daytime?

"Those who can come to the bar should not be short of money."

Zhou Wan said in a low voice.

Chen Ji looked closely at the customers in these bars and found that they were much stranger than the black gangs he had just encountered outside.

The degree of alienation on the body is obvious, the palms, cheeks, and forehead have changed, or a part of the body has become abnormally protruding, and even clothes can't cover it.

"They should be hunters who often go to the wild to hunt mutated creatures, and their strength is stronger than the people in the mixed city, and their physical alienation is also serious."

Huang Xiao explained to Chen Ji and the others, and Gu Jianfei on the side was silent, probably not surprised by the situation in front of him.

Chen Ji nodded, walked to the bar, glanced at the menu first, and casually ordered a glass of ordinary red wine to the waiter who was bartending.

The ordinary red wine before the end is now the most expensive, and the rest of the ice bone fish wine, dark blood, vegetable juice and the like, at first glance, are the weird drinks after the apocalypse.

While Zhou Wan and the others were ordering wine, Chen Ji asked the waiter: "I heard that He Junmao is here?" We wanted to ask him about something. ”

The waiter glanced at him, not caring about his level of spoken English, and pointed to the wall in the distance.

There sat a drunken man, with a pile of dishes, knives and forks on the table, but he ate cleanly.

"Thank you."

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan walked to the man's side, and saw that a piece of his waist was bulging, and the left side of his face also seemed to have a tumor, his face was bulging high, and he was sleeping on his stomach with his mouth open, and saliva was flowing out.

"Dude, wake up!"

Chen Ji patted him, but he didn't react.

After a few consecutive beats, He Junmao still slept soundly, snorted when he moved, and continued to sleep.

"That's what you should call him."

A black guy next to him took out a few dollar bills, shook them, made the bills rattle, and shouted at the same time: "Hey, what a mouse, get up, someone has sent you money!" ”

What a mouse?

There's something about this nickname.

Maybe it was because he heard the sound of banknotes, He Junmao finally got up drunk, and looked at Chen Ji and the others with a pair of drunken eyes: "You, you came to me?" ”

Chen Ji explained the intention.

He Junmao sighed, leaned back against the tattered old sofa, and hiccuped, "Ask, ask, what's the matter?" ”

The waiter brought the wine over, and Chen Ji picked up a glass of red wine and poured it on his face.

The original intention was to make him sober, but he didn't expect He Junmao to be excited, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's red wine?!" What a waste! ”

Chen Ji almost didn't collapse, and said helplessly: "As long as you help me inquire about something, I'll buy a few bottles of red wine for you, and you can drink whatever you want." ”

"Oh?"

He Junmao finally sobered up, looked them up and down a few times, and focused on Zhou Wan for a while: "It's not wrong, it's those rich people in the underground city, it's really rare, or Asian...... Does it look like Xia Guo's? ”

People in other states can't tell where Asians come from, but Asians can often tell at a glance who is from where.

"This is not the place to talk."

Zhou Wan opened her mouth lightly and motioned to the side compartment to chat.

"Okay, I'll do your business."

He Junmao stood up, staggered towards the cubicle, and then stopped and turned back to the waiter and shouted: "Give my guests a glass of brandy, don't add those messy things, just the original before the end of the day!" ”

After the waiter looked at Chen Ji and a few people, he slowly took out the wine from behind the counter and muttered: "After selling this bottle, the price of brandy will also increase." ”

After the apocalypse, the price of original wine was increased by bottle.

Sell one bottle, one less.

Chen Ji shrugged, before coming out, Zhang Jiande gave him a large stack of red dollar bills, not afraid of running out, after all, all the money was earned from Ah Meiken.

After entering the cubicle, Gu Jianfei and Huang Xiao confirmed that there was no listening equipment here, and then signaled that Chen Ji could talk about business.

"Yo, it's pretty formal."

He Junmao, who was sitting on the chair, looked at it with interest, and smiled at Chen Ji and the others in Xia Guohua: "I guess you are from Xia Guo, and you are officially sent here?" Say, what's the matter, I've always been a simple person, I'll do whatever I give money, I'll do anything, and I'll get you any news! St. Louis without my familiarity! ”

"That's good."

Chen Ji nodded, "We are here mainly to arrest Ray Jeff, do you have any news about him?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Which Rygev? ”

He Junmao's expression froze, and he had a bad premonition.

"Blood Lion Club, Lion King, Thunder ......"

"Don't, don't say, I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything, I'll go, I'll go right away!!"

He Junmao rushed out of the door.

Chen Ji and the others looked at each other.

I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year's Eve, and I wish you all good luck and good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
