Chapter 558 Chapter 555 The Gardener's Injury

Palovich had a complicated expression. He wanted to recruit Nak as a member of the Gardeners, but the usual recruitment temptations had no meaning for this man.

money? The remaining members of the Gardener Organization (currently 3 people) need support from the other party and cannot give them any leverage. Even if the Gardeners Organization has money now, and looking at the generosity of Nike's spending, their financial resources will still be difficult to impress.

status? Naike has already gained a reputation among the middlemen and mercenaries, and the Gardeners organization is a secret society. Currently, they have the "buff" of being wanted and hunted down. In this regard, they are destined to be unable to provide Naike with anything.

Ways to increase strength? No, the Gardeners organization also needs to learn from Zhuang Xuteng how to improve their personal strength. Unless they think that making bombs is also a way to increase their strength, the Gardeners organization has nothing to offer.

What’s left of the Gardeners’ organization? Palovich asked himself. After losing its possessions, status, and power, it seems that only its ideals are left. Thinking of this, Palovic frowned slowly. How long has it been since he thought about his ideals? I live a double life in the Gardener Organization and the Riot Suppression Squad. In addition to saying "The Gardener Organization is the only one that really fights against the company" as a placebo from time to time, the methods I use all day long are still those of the company. Set: coercion, inducement, fishing for law enforcement...

"Nike, we must overthrow the corporate rule. This system is rotten, and it will wipe out everything from the people at the bottom." Palovich pulled out this statement from the bottom of the box. It was a bit strange at first, but as I talked, I slowly regained the familiar feeling I had lost for a long time. "It does whatever it wants, formulating rules that only restrict the people at the bottom. The constitutional government and the military are their minions, but they are still not satisfied, and they also support gangs to seize the flesh and blood of the bottom from all aspects..."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded: "You are right. I am not numb. I know very well what the situation is now. I also basically know what you are going to say next, but all the reasons you listed cannot lead to the conclusion you want: Why is Gardeners the solution? Why do I have to join Gardeners to say no to the company?”

"Because we are genuinely fighting against the company."

"You can't win like that."

Palovich shook his head and said: "You are wrong. This is not a question of whether we win in the end, but a question of whether we can do it or not. If we can cause the company some trouble, we will cause it some trouble; if we can make the company If your plan is a step slower, we will try to make it a step slower. We believe that victory is the reward of hard work, and failure to take action will result in nothing.”

"Okay... I feel like you still don't understand." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Let's put it this way, do you think we are closer to victory now, or were we closer to victory when the Gardener Organization was first established? You guys said that you have found a lot of money for the company. Trouble, but when the Gardener organization returns to a state of only a few people, will the company be stronger or weaker than before? I admit that you have the will to act, but whether it is the ability to act or the plan for victory, the most critical thing is You have both hands and feet, but you don’t have one. Now you’re just talking.”

"So I want you to do it with hands and feet, but I also need your brains!" Palovich said.

"So? Your logic..." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head. He was really amused by Palovic. "So I have both brains and hands and feet, so what do I want from you? I understand what you want me to do. You just take a fancy to my current fighting ability and plan to let me continue to be a killer."

Zhuang Xuteng snorted and said: "I kill people for the Gardener Organization and kill people in the company. This will make the Gardener Organization's living environment better and hopefully attract new people to join. You want to borrow my power to open up the situation and A virtuous cycle is formed. As long as you maintain this momentum, you will get better and better, and you will eventually reach the goal of victory naturally. Forget it, yours is just reformism at best, and it is a fantasy version. It is absolutely useless. possible.”

Palovich was unconvinced and said: "If you want to win, it is nothing more than weakening the enemy and strengthening yourself. Everyone is like this."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "What you said is correct, but it is all superficial. Just like if I can destroy a fortress with one punch, then I can kill the company's enhanced person with one punch. What you said is correct, and It’s useless.”

"Then you know what to do?" Palovich asked.

"I don't know what to do, but in terms of general principles, I am much better than you." Zhuang Xuteng said: "You said that the company's current approach is wrong. This is correct, but more importantly, it is not Know that it is wrong, but know what is right. What does the Gardener Organization think is the right thing to do? So far, I have only seen that your ideas are limited to killing people in the company and strengthening your own people. . The company controls society and harms the people at the bottom, so how can the Gardener organization liberate society and protect the people at the bottom? Without considering this, the Gardener organization is a killer organization at best. "

"You can be weaker than the company, but you must at least be better than the company, right?" Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes and said, "Why is the company strong? Why can the company be bad? How can it be stronger than it and better at the same time? Have you ever thought about this question? Their technology is good and it is constantly developing, so what needs to be done to at least not fall far behind it? How much production capacity can you have, and how much combat power can you convert it into? Whether it is to build it yourself or to fight for it? , you should have a plan, right?"

Pavlovich moved his mouth, but only moved. He found that he had a strong desire to speak, but there was nothing he could say.

Regardless of whether he really wanted to speak or not, Zhuang Xuteng raised his hand to signal him not to speak. "Pavlovich, don't tell me that these problems will be solved by me, because you are just trying to tire me to death and then step on my corpse to realize your ideal. I can only think of the problems I just mentioned, but I can't answer them. However... I can probably give you some ideas for solving them."

"What?" Pavlovich asked with wide eyes.

"I probably understand why the company is so strong, and I probably understand what the company has taken from the whole society..." Zhuang Xuteng's mind was filled with many contents from "Stone Pillar Articles". "But I can't tell you now."

"Why? Don't you believe me?"

"Yes, I don't believe in your ability." Zhuang Xuteng said: "You are still wanted and hunted by the company, and you are living a precarious life. I am worried that if I tell you what I know, the company will get that knowledge from your body, and maybe it can really hide its last weakness. By then, it will not be feasible to defeat it from the outside, and we can only wait for the company to kill each other and collapse from the inside - that may take quite some time, and we can't wait. Palovic, you solve the basic problem of survival first, and I will lend you the knowledge when you can pay me back."

Palovich closed his mouth and thought carefully about Zhuang Xuteng's words. After a while, he looked back at his left and right hands, and found the supportive feelings that never faded from their eyes. Then he turned back to Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Okay. Survive first. If I can't even do this, then whoever I invite to join will be a disaster."

"That's right, do it bit by bit."

"You said before that there is a very rich account... Is it true? To survive and gain a foothold, I need more money." Palovic said, "If there is such an account, I am willing to take the risk."

Zhuang Xuteng thought about it, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay! Since you have thought about it, I will give you the account. I have to remind you in advance that the company may be keeping an eye on this account, so I have never dared to touch it. To be more precise: this is a secret account, and I am not sure whether it has been leaked. There is no evidence that the company is indeed keeping an eye on it, and I have not investigated it at all."

This account is the account that Dr. Truth Booker "bought his life". Zhuang Xuteng not only did not know whether it was safe, but also did not know how much money was in it. Anyway, he had enough money to spend, and Palovic was facing great danger, so he didn't care about a little more... In the spirit of recycling, Zhuang Xuteng wrote the account information to Palovic.

"After leaving here, we will go our separate ways." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Palovic, I hope we can meet again one day, and it would be better if we don't read each other's news in the news."

"I thought so too." Palovic smiled bitterly and said: "I fled here, my physical condition was so bad, I thought everything was over, but I didn't expect to meet you and find a turning point. If there is so-called destiny in this world, then destiny has given me enough hints, and I will seize the opportunity."

Since it is definitely impossible to persuade Nike to join, Palovic will not stay any longer. His body is weak and painful, and he needs the support of his left and right hands to stand up and walk. Zhuang Xuteng talked about some ways to speed up postoperative recovery, which is considered the last parting gift.

Finally, Zhuang Xuteng was the only one left in the operating room, and he could let go of his hands and feet to deal with the surgical scars. Except for the blood and flesh cut from Parovich with the "Shadow Curse", everything else that might contain biological information had to be cleaned up.

The blood-stained sheets, gauze, and surgical instruments were placed in a bucket, doused with kerosene, and burned with a palm fire. The floor of the operating room was sprayed with disinfectant and then washed with a water gun. Implants traded on the black market and some implant surgeries that wanted to be kept secret were often performed here, so there was no shortage of humane processing equipment.

As the painkillers gradually weakened, Zhuang Xuteng began to become like Parovich: he would grit his teeth even when walking. According to the original arrangement, he should have followed the medical team for a week of recovery treatment after the operation, but the current situation did not allow them to meet again. Zhuang Xuteng, who did not want to be controlled by others, could only grit his teeth and leave the clinic alone, disappearing as soon as possible in the alleys of the capital filled with clouds and shadows.

He returned to the hotel in a slightly embarrassed manner. If he did not show his room card in time, he would probably be turned away. The lobby manager tried to find a doctor for him, but Zhuang Xuteng refused: "I have my own private doctor, I don't need to go to the outside world. Go, prepare antibiotics and nutritional supplements for me, as well as medicines and tools for surface disinfection and gastrointestinal cleaning."

The lobby manager was in awe. He thought Zhuang Xuteng was "playing big", so he prepared a wide range of medicines for Zhuang Xuteng according to his imagined project and its risks.

In the room, Zhuang Xuteng began to treat himself. The medicine was only to avoid and prevent the wound from worsening. To really recover, he had to rely on necromancy, and he could try out the perception tentacles he had just researched.

The perception tentacles were enhanced versions of the ghost tentacles. They went out from the balcony and drilled through the windows of other rooms to find suitable "guinea pigs" for Zhuang Xuteng. Because the perception tentacles also expanded the tactile range of the ghost jelly, plus the command execution ability of the ghost servant level. Zhuang Xuteng could "let it go" and just wait for the news of "finding the target".

"Hey, we found one. Hey, did you use a lot of this safety blue?" Zhuang Xuteng breathed slowly and used dormant martial arts to exchange his injuries with the opponent's vitality. He controlled the speed and total amount of exchanges to ensure a "fatigue" effect and avoid serious illness or death.

A person has more vitality than a guinea pig. Even if Zhuang Xuteng only uses his "manpower" sparingly, there are enough people in the hotel for him to "collect". After three hours of continuous use of dormant martial arts, the entire hotel became yawning, but in exchange Zhuang Xuteng's face became rosy and his physical condition improved significantly.

The sensing tentacles can be extended even longer, covering an entire neighborhood, but Zhuang Xuteng cannot recover his body indefinitely. Nutritional supplements and various recovery drugs can be taken vigorously, but the total amount that can be used for physical recovery is limited. Flesh, flesh and organs have to grow step by step. He has tried his best to encourage growth and prepare to pay off the hidden dangers that arise now tomorrow. If you pull it out again, you will pull it out directly and die, and there will be no tomorrow.

Now he needs to rest for a while, tentatively scheduled for a week, so that he can at least return to normal levels. The good news is that according to Palovich's information, the destruction of the Gardener organization did not accidentally hurt other parties in Peicheng. He can contact Morgana and others. However, Zhuang Xuteng has always been cautious. Considering that his body has not yet recovered and his combat effectiveness is completely incompetent in front of the company's enhanced personnel, he did not call Morgana directly, but still used encrypted communication.

By sending a private message on a film forum, he wrote an encrypted message to Nightingale and Rockbird. On the surface, it looks like asking if they are willing to buy movie peripheral collections and autographs of movie stars, but in fact, they are asking about their current situation. If everything goes well, Nightingale and Rockbird will send inquiries, including answers about the current situation.

However, after the private message showed "read", the two sisters did not reply for three consecutive days. Obviously something was wrong. Zhuang Xuteng thought about it and finally decided to call the Moat Company, expressing tactfully that he wanted to contact Ge Gongdao and ask what conditions an experienced mercenary could offer if he decided to switch jobs at the Moat Company.

It took him three days to finally contact Ge Gongdao by phone, and then revealed the code words between the two during the conversation. The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then continued the previous topic. After waiting for several sentences, Ge Gongdao answered in code, saying, "Everyone is being watched, so it's okay so far."

Zhuang Xuteng understood: the investigation into Isabella's death did not end with the destruction of the Gardener organization. Currently, Peicheng is still under high pressure and cannot take any chances.

The two sides chatted for a while, and ostensibly Ge Gongdao persuaded Zhuang Xuteng not to leave the mercenary industry easily, because it was easy to leave but difficult to turn back, and there was no big money to be made on this side of the moat. Secretly, he asked Zhuang Xuteng to continue lurking. Don't worry about Peicheng's affairs, they will take care of it.
