Chapter 191 St. Louis (Happy New Years Eve everyone)

  Chen Ji knows how troublesome the supernatural beings will become after the end of the world.

   Lin Zhiyang couldn't handle it at all.

  Kill him, and he will escape directly by swapping his body. Maybe he will pay a certain price, but he can survive.

  I locked him up, but I didn't know how many bodies he had, and I didn't know how he would escape.

   It is impossible for Chen Ji and Zhou Wan to stare at him all the time, and it is the same for other powerful people with supernatural powers.

  In the end, he can only be imprisoned deep underground. The cell is made of special metal materials, equipped with supernatural power monitoring devices, and once he uses supernatural powers, an alarm will sound.

   "Swap bodies?"

Jiuyu, after reading the message from Chen Ji, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "I don't know, Jiuyu has tens of thousands of exercises, such abilities are not uncommon. Judging from it, his ability involves the laws of life and space."

   "Unfortunately, the Fragment of Destiny that went to the doomsday world has also changed. Otherwise, if you hold the Fragment of Destiny, you can vaguely sense his position."

  Chen Ji nodded to express his understanding, "I will invite you next time I see the Fragment of Destiny."

next time?

  Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought, maybe it was because she disliked her and disturbed him to talk about love with Zhou Wan after she came, right?

"snort!"

  …

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan stayed at Xia Guo's trading base in Ameiken Country for one night.

Lin Zhiyang was also tossed all night. Unfortunately, neither Luo Yang's dreaming nor Huang Xiao's telepathy had much effect on him. He could only see some incomplete pictures. Knowing that Lin Zhiyang Not alone with Regeff.

  The next day, several cars drove out of the garage one after another, and drove to Sanxi State, Ronnie State and other states where Lion King Lei Jeff would often visit, and collected intelligence separately.

   Chen Ji watched the car leave, and smiled at Zhang Jiande: "Does my sister know about our operation?"

   It's weird to think about it.

He and Zhou Wan and a group of people drove all the way from Xiaguo to Ameiken by car from the sea, and directly started to do things in Ameiken country. If this was done before the end, the whole world would be a sensation, triggering various crises, and a large group of media went crazy reports.

   "I definitely don't know!"

Zhang Jiande smiled mysteriously: "But no one knows, and they won't report it. The news media have stopped working... Even if they protest, so what? We have mastered the power and intelligent systems of the opponent's doomsday base, and even the seeds of crops are ours. It's given to them, and they can't protest."

  Chen Ji laughed out loud.

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

   "Then we set off first?"

   "Okay, be careful. You should meet with the informant first. If you encounter trouble, you can ask for support. We also have a lot of power here that we can mobilize!"

   "OK, I understand."

  After bidding farewell to Zhang Jiande, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan sat in the back seat of the Chevrolet off-road vehicle, and Gu Jianfei was in charge of driving, and left the underground garage.

  The team acted separately. Chen Ji and Zhou Wan were together. They were powerful, so only Huang Xiao was added. Her telepathic ability has miraculous effects in many places.

  As for Gu Jianfei who is driving, he is special after all, and there is a clone of him in the four teams that split up.

  The avatar and the main body are inseparable, which means that he 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 clones. If the brain information cannot be processed, he will fall into a state of confusion. Controlling ten clones at the same time is already the limit.

   "How about I drive?"

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

"Need not."

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

   Driving in the ice and snow does require skill. Before Chen Ji drove, he didn't care about scratches at all, just be reckless.

"good."

  Chen Ji nodded. After seeing Zhou Wan and Huang Xiao chatting quietly, he took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of the trading base behind him, and sent them to Xiao Zhou Wan after preparation.

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

"What's up?"

   Zhou Wan seemed to have noticed something, and looked back at him.

   "No... By the way, Huang Xiao, you haven't found a boyfriend yet?"

  Chen Ji thought of her younger brother Huang Yuwen, who had been having an affair with Kong Xiaomin for three years and had not confirmed the relationship.

  Huang Xiao shook his head: "What kind of boyfriend are you looking for? At this time... I'm not interested. Let's talk about it later."

  After the apocalypse, many fewer people get married, and even fewer have children.

  Chen Ji turned his head, just in time, Zhou Wan next to him also turned to look at him, their eyes met and they held hands together.

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

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

  After driving in this dim environment for three hours, the four of Chen Ji came to St. Louis, Missouri, where there is Ameiken's second doomsday base, which is also located underground.

  Below the ground is an elite population of more than 3 million people who can afford expensive rents, adapt to an orderly life, and hold a lot of resources.

   Above the ground is a paradise for various gangs and violent groups. Not long after the car drove into the city, it was robbed in the street.

   "Hey, get out of the car, where did you **** come from? Dare to enter the block controlled by us Mohei!"

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

   A group of guys wearing thick coats, hoods, and weird English symbols on their cheeks, armed with various guns, surrounded the Chevrolet off-road vehicle where Chen Ji was in.

"what to do?"

   Zhou Wan turned her head to look at Chen Ji.

"Let me do it."

  Huang Xiao is very familiar with this situation. Although she has not been to Ameiken many times after the end of the world, the wilds all over the world are in similar chaos.

  She rolled down the car window, looked at the nearest tall old Mo with a gun, and asked in very proficient English: "What's your name?"

  Her voice turned into a strange bewitching force, penetrated into the ears of the gun-wielding old Mo, impacted his mind, and made him subconsciously answer:

   "My name is Pablo Hernandez."

   "Who is it?"

   "Yes, it belongs to the Mohei gang..."

   "Boss!"

  One of his subordinates yelled loudly, which made him suddenly get rid of Huang Xiao's mental bewitchment. In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he stepped back with a gun.

   "So it's a psychic... you can go."

  Pablo held back his breath and chose not to have more conflicts with the people in the car.

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

  Huang Xiao smiled, and asked him again: "Do you know a man named He Junmao? He is from Xia, Asian."

  The group of black gangsters clenched their guns tightly and looked at her vigilantly.

  Their boss has already let go, but this woman is still asking.

"That rascal?"

   Pablo looked at Huang Xiao's clean and fair face, and noticed that the people in the car were calm, guessing that they came from underground, powerful 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."

"…make a deal!"

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

   "Boss, it's 2027 money!"

  The subordinates confirmed the authenticity of the banknotes with surprise on their faces.

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

  After the apocalypse, banknotes have become waste paper, and gold, silver and jewelry are no longer cared about, but human society can barely maintain, and there are transactions, so a credit currency must be used.

  For the post-apocalyptic society, even gold seems too much, and before the apocalypse, banks, consortiums, and rich people hold a lot of gold. Many people don't recognize it at all, and don't want to exchange materials for gold.

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

  Xiaguo is a merit point, and Ameiken is to print a red banknote after the end, symbolizing the hope that the sun will rise again.

   It's just that Chen Ji heard that Amei Ken played "water release" several times after the end of the world, and successfully devalued the red dollar bills again, resulting in the red bills with the earlier production years being more valuable and most recognized.

  Led by the black gangster Pablo, the four of Chen Ji came to a small bar with yellow lights. In the dark city, it was a rare place with lights on all year round.

  Pablo personally watched the door of the off-road vehicle open, and saw the four people in the car get down and enter the bar.

   "Boss, these people don't seem to be from the St. Louis underground." A subordinate whispered.

  The Mohei gang around them were a little embarrassed.

  The four people parked the car on the side of the road after getting out of the car, as if they were not afraid of them snatching it away.

  The muscles on Pablo's face twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go back...be more restrained recently, and I will also tell the boss that there are Xia people coming to St. Louis."

   "Xia Guo?"

  Old Mo around was silent together.

  The post-apocalyptic Xia Kingdom is a bit scary.

  …

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan entered this lighted bar named Rose Perfume side by side.

  Go down the stairs and come to a rather large underground room with seven or eight lights on.

   Unexpectedly, it was quiet inside.

The arrival of the four of them did not attract much attention. The dozen or so people sitting in the bar just took a look and then turned their heads to drink in silence. Compared with the streets of St. Louis where gunshots can often be heard outside, this place is like a safe haven. .

   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 took a closer look at the guests in the bar, and found that they were much weirder than the black gangsters he met outside.

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

   "They should be hunters who often go to the wild to hunt mutant creatures. They are stronger than the people in the mixed city, and their bodies are also seriously alienated."

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

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

  Ordinary red wine before the end is now the most expensive. The rest of the ice bone fish wine, dark blood, plant juice, etc., look like weird drinks after the end.

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

  The waiter glanced at him, not caring about his spoken English, and pointed to the far wall.

   There was a man who was very drunk. There was a pile of dishes, knives and forks on the table, but he ate cleanly.

"Thanks."

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan walked up to the man, and saw that his waist was bulging, and the left side of his face also seemed to have a tumor. His face was bulging, and he was lying on his stomach with his mouth open, drooling out.

   "Dude, wake up!"

  Chen Ji patted him, but there was no response.

   After several consecutive shots, He Junmao was still sound asleep, he moved and groaned, and continued to sleep.

   "You should call him that."

  A black guy next to him took out a few dollar bills, shook them, making the bills rattle, and shouted at the same time: "Hey, Ho Mouse, get up, someone is sending you money!"

  What mouse?

   There is something about this nickname.

  Maybe because of 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 find me?"

  Chen Ji explained his intention.

  He Junmao snorted, leaned his head back against the dilapidated old sofa, and hiccupped, "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 wake him up, but He Junmao was startled, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his eyes lit up immediately: "It's red wine?! What a f***ing waste!"

  Chen Ji almost collapsed, and said helplessly, "As long as you help me find out something, I'll buy you a few bottles of red wine for you, and you can drink as you please."

"oh?"

He Junmao finally regained consciousness, looked them up and down, and stayed on Zhou Wan for a while longer: "It's not wrong, it's those rich people in the underground city, it's really strange, and they are Asian...It looks like Xia Country?"

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

   "This is not the place to talk."

  Zhou Wan opened her mouth lightly, and motioned to chat in a cubicle beside her.

   "Okay, I've done your business."

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

  The waiter took a look at Chen Ji and the others, then slowly took out the wine from behind the counter, and muttered, "After this bottle is sold out, the price of brandy will also increase."

  After the apocalypse, the price of the original bottle will increase.

   Sell one bottle, one less.

  Chen Ji shrugged. Zhang Jiande gave him a large stack of red dollar bills before he came out.

   Entering the cubicle, Gu Jianfei and Huang Xiao confirmed that there was no monitoring equipment, and then signaled to Chen Ji that they could talk about business.

   "Yo, it's quite formal."

He Junmao, who was sitting on the chair, watched with great interest, and smiled at Chen Ji and the others in Xia Guo dialect: "I guess you are from Xia Guo, and you are sent here by the government? Tell me, what's the matter, I People have always been straightforward, I will do anything for the money, and I will get you any news and materials! There is no one in St. Louis that I am not familiar with!"

"That's good."

  Chen Ji nodded, "We came here mainly to catch Lei Jeff, do you have any news about him?"

   "...Which Regeff?"

  He Junmao's expression froze, with a bad feeling.

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

   "Don't, don't say, I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything, I'm going, I'm going!"

  He Junmao rushed out.

  Chen Ji and the others looked at each other.

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