After following Jiang Chen for a while and seeing no one around, Ji Yucheng swallowed his foam and asked cautiously.
"Have you found the secret to eternal life?"
"not yet."
"Is the password wrong?"
"The password is correct, but unfortunately, someone has already come to the director's office." Jiang Chen took out the diary from his pocket, "I only found this."
Ji Yucheng stretched out his hand to take it, but Jiang Chen had no intention of giving him the diary. His hand hung in the air awkwardly for a while and then he took it back.
"Then the agreement between us..."
"Of course it counts," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "After all, having an obedient person become the president also has a lot of benefits for me."
According to the agreement between the two, Ji Yucheng told him the password, and he helped him become president, and by the way, he killed the two villains who plotted against him, the former president and the chief of staff.
The first thing Ji Yucheng did after becoming president was to introduce a bill to join the NAC Economic Zone and become a place similar to the Sixth District in NAC.
Thinking about the chip implanted in the back of his neck, Ji Yucheng sighed and spread his hands, "I still don't understand. Compared to Wanghai City, everything here is obviously worse, whether it is the Federation or the Empire. Except for that It’s almost a legendary secret about eternal life, is there anything else here that can catch your eye?”
"When you have something like territory, you want to have more. Of course, I don't need to explain this to you, you just need to do what I say." Jiang Chen said.
"So... what are you going to say when you call me over? It should be something that is not convenient for others to know." Ji Yucheng asked.
"About that password," Jiang Chen looked directly into his eyes, "I hope you can explain how you got it."
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Ji Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said.
"Is that the problem? I bet you will be disappointed after hearing this."
Jiang Chen motioned him to continue talking with his eyes.
"The password was brought by a postman. I was sitting in the pub drinking as usual. He found me and said that someone from the Empire had sent me a letter. He asked me to sign for it. I was still confused at the time... and then opened it After I opened the letter, I became even more confused. There was a password written on it, detailed instructions about Vault 71, and a signature."
"That's it?" Jiang Chen looked at him dumbfounded.
"That's it." Ji Yucheng nodded, with a helpless expression on his face. "So I say you will definitely be disappointed."
Jiang Chen glanced at the program associated with the slave chip on the EP. Judging from the fluctuations in his heart rate, he was not lying.
"And you dedicated the code to the president."
"That's right. I thought I could become his confidant, but I didn't expect that he had murderous intentions." When he said this, Ji Yucheng's tone was filled with hatred.
"Who is the sender?"
"Dr. Sun."
Dr. Sun. Could it be...
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
According to the information collected from the Zhao Group, regarding the doctor who did not age, he initially thought that person was a cyborg. But now it seems that this is not the case.
But why
For what purpose did the doctor who was currently staying in the imperial capital hand the password into the hands of the federal congressmen? In other words, for what purpose did he want the people of the Federation to see the diary he deliberately left behind
Seeing Jiang Chen not speaking, Ji Yucheng couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, secretly trying to figure out what he was thinking.
But soon. Jiang Chen spoke again.
"The last question, hand over the password to the president... Don't you yearn for eternal life?"
Ji Yucheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly ask this irrelevant question, so he teased in a self-deprecating tone.
"I'm just a poor guy. I'm just a mediocre congressman in the Federation. I run around for those stingy poor guys all day long. Maybe I will when I become president."
…
The gunfire in the distance stopped, and the war ended with the total annihilation of the mutants.
There were a total of 215 mutants, as well as a dozen mutant dogs, all lying miserably among the ruins.
nac killed 2 people. Injuring 17 people, such a miraculous victory was simply an epic victory in the eyes of the survivors.
However, the people in the expeditionary force did not show too much excitement. The advantages in equipment destined this war to be a crushing game from the beginning.
Jiang Chen personally held a simple funeral for the two fallen soldiers.
Their remains will be nailed into coffins. He was flown back to Wanghai City by airship for burial.
As for the injured soldiers, with the NAC's medical level, wounds that are not missing arms or legs can be cured.
Generally speaking, although the equipment of the mutants here lags far behind those of the mutants in Jia City who are supported by the Dusk Church. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the mutants here are surprisingly half a point stronger.
The NAC researchers who accompanied the army to Hongcheng extracted blood and somatic cell samples from the corpses of these mutants and brought them back to the combat laboratory at the military outpost. The DNA and metabolic profiles of these mutants were characterized.
The appearance of these mutants is quite different from those in Wanghai City. Jiang Chen was very curious about this, so he handed over the task of testing to the researchers.
The results obtained were also very surprising. There were 6 pairs of chromosomes in the DNA of these mutants that were significantly different from those in Jiashi.
"The fev virus is also called the human gene-directed modification virus. Its design concept is to allow Pan-Asian people to evolve into new humans more suitable for harsh environments. However, the fev plan has encountered resistance from the mainstream society, that is, the pure faction, since its implementation. Human beings are Creatures destined to conquer nature rather than compromise with it and become monsters.”
"So the research and development of the fev virus was put on hold until the war, when someone dug up the data and re-study it. Most of the fev virus culture fluids currently flooding the wasteland are improved versions of the original fev virus."
Within the institute, the researcher responsible for dissecting mutant remains reported to Jiang Chenhui.
"Aside from being different in appearance from the mutants in Wanghai City, are there any other differences?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Of course." The researcher nodded, "In addition to slightly poorer resilience, the mutants in Hongcheng also have extremely strong metabolic capabilities. However, unlike the mutants in Jiashi, their theoretical lifespan is almost Three times as many mutants as there are in Ka City.”
"Three times?!" Jiang Chen said in surprise.
"That's right." The researcher said with certainty, "The flv virus in Hongcheng has the function of extending DNA telomeres. This is technically difficult, but it is not impossible in theory."
The strength and invulnerability of mutants are inherently annoying, especially with their cockroach-like resilience. They can easily adapt to this wasteland.
The two weaknesses of being unable to reproduce and having a short lifespan have limited their population. But the mutants in Hongcheng live longer than humans? It's unbelievable.
After returning to the command room, Jiang Chen found Han Junhua and began to discuss with her the strategy to eliminate mutants.
The preliminary operational plan is to send out scouts to identify the mutants' FEV production bases, arsenals, headquarters, air defense firepower points and other important facilities, and launch air strikes with Aurora-20s.
At the same time, ground troops, with the fire support of Order, advanced to the west bank of Poyang Lake occupied by the Gru tribe, liberating the local humans enslaved by mutants.
As for the empire…
"These days, based on the intelligence returned by the scouts we sent to Hezhong City and the Imperial Capital, I have studied the forces in Xiahong City..."
Standing in front of the holographic map, Han Junhua folded his arms and calmly analyzed the complex relationship between the empire and the Gru tribe to Jiang Chen.
After listening to Han Junhua's analysis, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Are you saying the Empire is taking advantage of us?"
"The probability is 90%." Han Junhua turned his attention to Jiang Chen. "So, what are you going to do?"
"Not much. Soon they will realize that our surgery is not free." Looking at the imperial capital on the holographic map, Jiang Chen's lips curved in amusement.
