Chapter 551 Chapter 548 The Prince Sleeping in the Wind
In the shadow world, Zhuang Xuteng focused on the practice of sensing tentacles and did not care about food. He did not mind eating rice porridge that came into contact with water. However, his "simplicity" disappeared immediately when he relaxed a little and encountered a large portion of delicious food. Zhuang Xuteng first used the Wraith Jelly and Shadow Eye to scout the surroundings to make sure that he was not being monitored or followed, and then jumped to the table and ate heartily.
The taste of real cultured meat is much better than synthetic meat, but the taste... is a matter of opinion. In fact, synthetic meat can add any flavor when it is made, and cultured meat cannot be compared in this regard as long as it pursues naturalness. Moreover, Zhuang Xuteng has mainly eaten synthetic meat since he was a child and is familiar with that taste, so he thinks that the taste of cultured meat is "a bit strange" and even has some "smelly", which can only be accepted by cooking techniques and spices.
"It's just more juicy when bitten, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. There's nothing else! Selling it so expensive, are you cheating the rich?"
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as the body can absorb the nutrients. Zhuang Xuteng ate and drank, expressing his layman's views on the diet of the "rich". He missed his wife at this time, because Morgana would definitely explain to him the secret of "cheating money".
Because the food tasted good, chewing and swallowing were a kind of relaxation, but the implant that monitored the health of the body sounded an alarm, telling him that "the digestive system was not working efficiently". In the past, only toxins or unclean food would cause the implant to alarm, and "low working efficiency" was the first time. In order to find out the specific situation, he turned on the flat head brother, connected the back, used it as a personal affairs assistant processor, and then transmitted the specific analysis results to the Eye of Kaho.
"Lack of digestive ability, need to supplement the following flora medicine? What is flora medicine?" Zhuang Xuteng wrote down the strange and long names of the pills, and then turned off the system. Without these medicines to enhance the digestive system, the most is indigestion and dry stool, there is no other danger, Zhuang Xuteng just needs to avoid overeating. Having said that, judging from the taste of these foods, overeating does not exist.
If Morgana was with Zhuang Xuteng, she would be able to explain to him what was going on. Synthetic foods use artificially added energy and nutrients, so they will inevitably choose cheap ones, and some digestive enzymes (synthetic enzymes) are needed to ensure human absorption. In this regard, food companies have done quite in-depth research and have long understood the human gastrointestinal environment.
Digestive enzymes are added in proportion to each synthetic food, saving everyone the trouble of taking medicine. Generation after generation, people are becoming more and more dependent on constantly upgraded digestive enzymes, and the original digestive ability in the body has begun to degenerate, or at least has weakened. It is normal for the body to not adapt to eating natural food suddenly. Even Morgana, when she enjoys natural farmed food, needs to take some digestive drugs with her meals.
Why don't these digestive drugs go directly into the seasoning? The cheaper the digestive enzymes, the better, they are sold to the public; the more advanced and complex the digestive drugs, the better, they are enjoyed by the elite!
Zhuang Xuteng has only a vague understanding of this and cannot enjoy it. After he finished his meal, he rubbed his slightly swollen stomach and felt that it was more convenient to strengthen the energy bar. One bite and the meal is done, no need to fill your stomach.
"It's time to find a place to sleep."
Because he didn't know the current situation in Peicheng, Zhuang Xuteng needed to be on guard against the company's detective force at all times. He booked two rooms, but he didn't dare to sleep in any of them, for fear of being caught.
He made the bed and pretended that someone was sleeping here, and then turned on the bathroom light to create the illusion of getting up to go to the bathroom. After that, Zhuang Xuteng jumped out of the balcony of the prince's suite, came outside the building, curled up in the corner of the staircase frame, and slept here.
It was really a torture to spend so much money to sleep here. The only reason Zhuang Xuteng did this was for the network. The hotel has a fast enough information network, which can be connected with a flat head brother. Use the security filtering function of the flat head brother for basic protection, and then follow the methods of the Nightingale and the Rock Sparrow Cult, without using keyword search, just click on the relevant news information column step by step by feeling and linking, and then read.
Each reading time should not exceed one minute.
Isabella died quietly, at least Zhuang Xuteng didn't see any news reports about it. At this time, he certainly couldn't directly look for content that would expose himself, such as "The impact of Isabella's death on Peicheng", so he looked at whether the four major companies and the municipal government had carried out targeted actions. Zhuang Xuteng clicked on the government page - which was also jokingly called the source of gossip by the two sisters - and the first thing that caught his eye was a piece of news that surprised him a little: the former PCPD director Bruel Pace was successfully elected as the new mayor of Peicheng.
"Isn't it time for a re-election yet?"
Zhuang Xuteng quickly browsed and found relevant news: The former mayor and the leadership team were attacked by terrorists while inspecting the progress of the new stadium construction, and unfortunately died - the Gardener Organization claimed responsibility for this.
The following news was even more shocking: PCPD's long-term action was successfully closed, the Gardener Organization was wiped out, and Director Bruel Pace became famous.
"Really? With the combat effectiveness and work efficiency of PCPD, can it kill the Gardener Organization?" Zhuang Xuteng expressed doubt. "Is it possible that this was actually done by the company?"
Of course it is possible, but there is no way to verify it. Zhuang Xuteng quickly browsed the tidbits of Peicheng and felt that except for Brewer Pace's unusual promotion, everything else looked the same as in the past. He also saw in the corner of a news article that Ge Gongdao went to receive an award on behalf of Moat Company for his outstanding contributions in maintaining social order and combating organized crime.
"It seems Brother Dao is safe. In other words, the mercenary and middleman industry is still there." Zhuang Xuteng kept the time limit in mind and immediately disconnected the network and went offline. "Only Morgana's condition is still uncertain. But she will be fine as long as she goes home, right? If something happens to her, it must be me, and there is definitely a wanted order for me on the Internet. Hmm... It looks like there’s no problem, let’s see here first today.”
After his anxiety was relieved, Zhuang Xuteng opened his resentful tentacles to fix himself in the corner of the frame, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. The spotlights, neon lights and flying aircraft in Constitution City, the capital, brought him flashing light shows and whistling noises, and the constant wind between the buildings was not suitable for sleeping. However, Zhuang Xuteng used the implant to reduce environmental noise, used meditation to focus on sleeping, and reduced external influences, and finally fell asleep with difficulty.
Just as Zhuang Xuteng fell asleep, five blocks away from him, in a dimly lit motel, Palovich sat on the bed with his upper body naked, letting his left and right hands change his bandages. Zhuang Xuteng never imagined that the Gardeners organization that had been declared "annihilated" still had survivors, and that it was not far away from him; Palovich also could not imagine that the culprit that caused the Gardeners organization to be taken seriously by the company and make great efforts to eliminate it, was five blocks away. outside.
Palovic's bandage stretched from his right shoulder to his left abdomen and was stained gray by blood and exudate. He carefully cut the bandage with his left hand and then slowly peeled it off. A stench spread from the wound. With his right hand, he positioned the infrared lamp to illuminate the wound and held the lit incense closer, hoping to neutralize the stench.
The smell wasn't the main problem, the hard-to-recover injuries were. Palovich did not dare to confront the company's reinforcements like Zhuang Xuteng did, and the enemy he encountered was not the senior manager of the development department, but the special operations team from Dingxin Magic's headquarters, that is, Colonel Taft Guy at that level. He and his left and right hands had no intention of fighting it, and immediately started running away when they sensed something was wrong.
"It was just a scratch, is it so bad?" Palovic looked down at the wound. His skin was in tatters, and pus was flowing out from near the wound that never healed. He has tried various treatments, but none of them have been effective externally or internally. The wound was deteriorating slowly and unstoppably, and would kill him sooner or later.
"We have to make a decision as soon as possible. This skin cannot be used anymore. Implant surgery is necessary." After observing closely with his right hand, he said: "At present, the wound is mainly on the skin. If it is penetrated, this strange influence will penetrate below. organs, the situation is even more difficult to deal with.”
"The company monitors all channels for implant surgeries, both covertly and covertly. As long as we walk in, we may be discovered. Our bank account must also be under surveillance, or it may have been sealed, leaving only the little money we have... "
"Money is not a problem." Zuo Zuo said: "There are so many rich people in Constitution City, the capital, and they can get money just by moving their fingers!"
"Now is not the time to make money!" The right hand shook his head and said: "I suggest that you directly hijack the doctor who can perform implant surgery, let him replace the skin for you, and kill him afterwards, so that you will not be exposed. This It is the only way and the fastest way. Your current situation does not allow you to wait any longer. "
Palovic nodded directly and said: "I also thought of this method. This is indeed the best solution at present. But, which implant doctor should we find?"
"There are also a small number of mercenaries and middlemen here in the capital, and there is also a black market for underground transactions. I can put on makeup to investigate. There must be implants for sale there." The right hand said to the left hand: "I will keep sending you location information and situation Report, you are hiding nearby with the leader, and you are ready to take action at any time with an implant doctor."
"Don't use force as soon as you come up. We still need him to treat the leader. If he secretly uses methods to kill the leader, it will be troublesome." Left hand said: "Use money first if you can use it. Killing him afterwards will do the same." Get the money back—guaranteed treatment first.”
"Okay! Check the communicator. Without further ado, I'll set off right now. I'll go to the Black Market Liaison Station in the Capital City's Xianmin Mall at the Constitution City. You guys can look for a place nearby. It's best to find a car."
After the three of them decided on a plan, they took all their cash and set off. The left hand then stole a car parked on the side of the road and took Palovic with him to wait near the Pioneer Mall. They can only rely on themselves now. Not to mention the police and mercenaries outside, even the remaining members of the Gardeners organization dare not contact them. At this time, no one is sure whether other survivors have surrendered to the company and become bait for their own arrests.
"Who killed Isabella? Who killed Kaho?" Palovich was lying on the back seat of the car. Unable to move, he could only turn on his brain at full power. The Gardeners Organization was definitely framed this time, but it wasn't necessarily a frame-up. The person who killed Isabella didn't create any "evidence" related to the Gardeners, so it wasn't a frame-up. It's just that the company needs an answer and a gesture, so it framed the Gardeners organization and started fighting them.
The destruction of the Gardener Organization is not a task that can be completed overnight. The investigation teams of several companies began to lay out when Colonel Taf came to Peicheng, and had already penetrated into the Gardener Organization. This time, the Gardener Organization held an online meeting. Everyone only needed to access their encrypted network to talk, and they didn't even need to show up to complete the meeting. Everyone felt that there was no risk. But the company knew the news in advance through informants and asked the technical staff to prepare the situation. As soon as the participants came online, their positions were immediately exposed, and the company's special operations team set off.
Palovic has been a little "rebellious" recently. He accepted some of Zhuang Xuteng's ideas and believed that the Gardener Organization had no future in bombing civilians. Even if they didn't dare to blow up the company's headquarters, the company's warehouses and production workshops would be fine, right? He was dissatisfied with some of the bureaucratic styles within the Gardener Organization and had been fighting for the right to act independently. For this online meeting, he planned to express his dissatisfaction by being late, so as to attract attention-this saved his life, at least for now.
Although the Gardener Organization was finished, Palovich still felt that he had gained something: now it was certain that someone had killed Kaho and Isabella, and the whole process was not discovered by the company, which had never happened before. Although it was not that no one could defeat the company's enhanced people, the company's enhanced people were organized in a team. When one side was in trouble, all sides would support it. It was entirely possible to gather a group of enhanced people in a short period of time, and no one could defeat such a force. Therefore, the Gardener Organization has been studying how to kill enhanced people quickly and quietly.
The conclusion of the study was that both could not be achieved at the same time. At present, it is believed that the best way to deal with enhanced people is a violent explosion of sufficient equivalent. No matter how strong the armored skin is, there is an upper limit, and the protection of the eyes, ears, throat and other parts is relatively weak and can always be penetrated. The Gardener Organization has studied explosions, especially special explosions that can focus energy, in order to set up an ambush to eliminate enhanced people.
The explosion is bound to have a huge noise, but the advantage is that it can be controlled from a distance, and even if it fails, there is a possibility of retreating safely. Unfortunately, the Gardener Organization's explosion technology was not mature enough before it was wiped out. But the good news is that someone managed to kill the company's enhanced people quickly and silently.
"That person must be found." Palovic said to his left hand: "Even if I die, you have to continue to look for clues and find the killer."
"You won't die, and we are not good at finding people. You have to do this."
"Who could it be... This person has made two moves in Peicheng. It doesn't seem like someone outside Peicheng, but is there such a person in Peicheng?" Palovic was confused and slowly fell asleep under the effect of the safe blue painkiller. In his dream, he vaguely saw Zhuang Xuteng.
