Chapter 457: Suggestion
After hearing Han Wanghuoâs words, Shang Jianyao wore a look of âagreement.â âAfter discovering that the person is an Awakened in the Arbiter of Fate domain, I was rather worried about your heart.â
Arbiter of Fate-domain Awakened... Han Wanghuo had once been Redstone Collectionâs sheriff and town guard captain. He had interacted with the Vigilance Church and faced the Murloc Oracle directly, so he didnât lack knowledge of such matters.
However, Zeng Duo was different. She only knew about the Kalendarium and the Awakened. She had encountered certain churches but didnât know the division of domains and their details.
At this moment, when she heard Shang Jianyaoâs description, she suddenly felt like they werenât in the same world.
Jiang Baimian didnât reprimand Shang Jianyao for his honesty and instead consoled Han Wanghuo. âIt can only be confirmed after a detailed examination. What you feel canât override an instrumentâs reading; there will often be a large error.â
âWhere can we do the check?â Han Wanghuo asked.
Just as he said that, he felt that his tone was a little rash. He subconsciously said, âSorry, Iâm not in a good mood.â
âI understand.â Shang Jianyao had a sympathetic expression.
Jiang Baimian also made it apparent that it was fine. She tried asking herself inwardly, When youâre terminally ill, donât have much time left, and just as youâve finally found a cureâallowing you to see the light of day and fight for itâa group of people who call themselves your friends suddenly appear and disrupt all your plans, making everything less certain. Would you be angry?
Jiang Baimianâs answer was: Even if the other party had no ill intentions and the screwing up of his plans was purely an accident, he would still be very angry.
Under those circumstances, rationality was often scarce.
She temporarily avoided the topic of checking his body and deliberated before asking, âSo, youâve already found a suitable heart and are waiting to complete a mission to raise enough money to exchange for it?â
âYou can say so.â Han Wanghuo deliberately didnât look at Zeng Duo.
âWhat mission is it?â Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
At this moment, Zeng Duo got off the bed and stretched her body. âActually, that mission is to save my hometown. The reward is my heart.â
She could tell that these people were friendly to Han Wanghuo and felt that there was a need to clarify the situation. Otherwise, given the current situation, she and Han Wanghuo might not even be able to leave the city, much less organize enough people to rescue Early Spring Town.
Ah... Long Yuehong never expected Shang Jianyaoâs previous guess to be correctâHan Wanghuo really brought the organ provider with him!
H-heâs not disgusted? Long Yuehong thought for a moment and believed that normal people wouldnât do this if they didnât really have any other choice.
Perhaps she felt that Zeng Duo resembled her in some aspects, so Bai Chen took the initiative to ask, âYou chose to sacrifice yourself for your hometown?â
âItâs not a sacrifice.â Zeng Duo smiled. âItâs the effective usage of trash.â
She further explained, âIâm also terminally ill. These organs will be useless when the time comes.â
âWhat illness?â Jiang Baimian asked.
Zeng Duo didnât need to think about it and directly said, âIâm not too sure what exactly the blood disease caused by the mutation is. The clinic doctor said a bunch of terms that I donât understand.â
That might not be a terminal illness... Itâs necessary to do a detailed examination... Jiang Baimian didnât say these words. This would make it seem like she was undermining Han Wanghuo and blocking his path to salvation.
Before giving a new, concrete plan, she decided to remain silent on this matter. Although she sympathized with Zeng Duo, they didnât have any ties in the past.
That kind of pity wouldnât affect her choices.
âIs that so...â Shang Jianyao nodded slightly and assumed Jiang Baimianâs usual posture. âWhat happened to your hometown? Why do you need to save it?â
Zeng Duo briefly explained how Early Spring Town had been reduced to First Cityâs experimental zone.
Long Yuehong and the others wore strange expressions as they listened. Arenât biochemical experiments and genetic research standard for our own company? This is also one of the reasons why Pangu Biology doesnât have a good reputation. But now, First City has actually begun to conduct similar experiments. Furthermore, theyâre conducted under coercion, not voluntarily. Did they get the wrong script?
After careful thought, Jiang Baimian felt that this was completely understandable. Any large faction had a natural desire to improve its shortcomings. As long as there was a chance, they definitely wouldnât let it go!
But First Cityâs way of doing things is too crude and brutal, right? According to this lady, there are countless people with abnormalities in Early Spring Town. Their lives are usually very miserable, so they couldâve used the excuse of medical consultation or directly explain your experiments that require genetic screening, which will also result in the development of treatments. That way, you can recruit a batch of fully cooperative volunteers. Thereâs no need to make the situation so impassable and tense... Are your people really worthless? Jiang Baimian couldnât help but criticize.
From her point of view, First Cityâs method was far inferior to Pangu Biologyâs efficiency. It could only be maintained by having a large population and being able to station troops everywhere.
âFrom your... Uh, how should I address you?â Only then did Jiang Baimian remember that she hadnât asked the ladyâs name.
Zeng Duo simply gave her name.
Jiang Baimian continued, âFrom your description, First Cityâs experimental level in your town shouldnât be low. The security must be very high.â
At this point, she looked at Han Wanghuo and said, âOld Han, it looks like you canât count on the manpower you organized.â
After what happened today, how could the Ruin Hunters dare to cooperate with Han Wanghuo? It would be considered noble of them not to betray him.
âWe havenât obtained the firearms we ordered either.â Han Wanghuo couldnât help but exhale. The only thing he was glad about was that the partners he found didnât know the specific mission and wouldnât affect his plans with Early Spring Town.
Upon hearing Han Wanghuoâs sigh, Shang Jianyao smiled.
Before he spoke, Jiang Baimian said, âWe are responsible for this matter, so how about this? Weâll be your helpersâitâs voluntary work. Uh, itâs not considered voluntary work. You have to give us a copy of the information or samples in Early Spring Townâs laboratory.â
The reason why she added the last sentence wasnât because of her professional habit of being a Pangu Biology villain but because she was worried that Han Wanghuoâthis awkward fellowâwouldnât agree to take advantage of her.
Upon realizing that he wouldnât be able to find other helpers for the time being, Han Wanghuo fell silent for a few seconds and said, âAlright.â
Jiang Baimian smiled. âYou donât have to worry about weapons. We have quite a number, and weâll even throw in a killing machine.â
As she spoke, Shang Jianyao turned around and made way.
Zeng Duo and Han Wanghuo then saw Genava charging by the wall.
Robot... Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo were alarmed before they turned delighted.
In the Ashlands, a robot with a complete set of modules was indeed a killing machine!
After he calmed down his pleasant surprise, Han Wanghuo couldnât help but ask, âWhy are you being pursued by the Hand of Order?â
This team seems to cause trouble everywhere. Back in Redstone Collection, they got into conflict with the arms dealers and crossed the Subhuman Alliance. They were never idle.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment. âI donât know how to tell you either. Why donât you directly look at the bounty mission issued by the Hand of Order? Old Ge, project it for them.â
Genava immediately changed his identity and projected the information he had previously recorded onto the wall.
Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo had only seen such high-tech methods in a few places like the Hunterâs Guild.
They composed themselves and read the corresponding content: âParticipated in the gladiator arena assassination and plotting a major plot against First City...â
After reading the first part of the description, Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duoâs eyelids twitched. Who are these people?
Although Han Wanghuo could tell that October Xueâs team was likely from a large faction, he never expected them to be at odds with First City directly.
Jiang Baimian immediately coughed. âSlanderâthis is all slander. We only stole some information.â
âThatâs right. They are too narrow-minded,â Shang Jianyao echoed.
Han Wanghuo nodded and recalled. âI remember that the Hand of Order didnât cause such a stir during the previous gladiator arena assassination...â
As he spoke, he couldnât continue. According to this logic, what October Xueâs team had done was much more serious than assassinating a noble in the arena. Otherwise, they wouldnât have received such âtreatment!â
As his body tensed, Zeng Duo saw the bounty.
â10,000 Oray per person?â blurted out the Ruin Hunter from a town of mutants in surprise.
The area she was active in was mainly within First Cityâs sphere of influence. The missions she usually accepted could often be converted to Oray. In all these years, she had never seen such a handsome bounty that only involved a few humans!
Although the bounty didnât necessarily represent the targetsâ danger level, the figure of 10,000 Oray still made Zeng Duo feel that everyone here was rather terrifying. It was similar to the characters used in various stories in the Ashlands to scare children and make them stop crying.
For an ordinary Ruin Hunter like her, 10,000 Oray was more than enough to buy her life.
Who are they? Zeng Duo shut her mouth and swept her gaze across Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and the others.
âThatâs about it.â Jiang Baimian vaguely ended the topic. She then frowned and said, âIn this situation, we wonât be able to find a place to perform an organ transplant even if we complete Zeng Duoâs mission.â
This wasnât a minor surgery. It required a lot of medical equipment, or the mortality rate would be extremely high.
Han Wanghuo fell silent for a moment before saying, âDoctors at Antanna Streetâs unlicensed clinics care more about money than their lives.â
âYes, weâll see.â Jiang Baimian couldnât think of any other solution. Although she could make the real Doctor Genava download the corresponding information and attempt to complete such an operation, the Old Task Force didnât have the corresponding medical equipment for him.
Jiang Baimian then exhaled. âThese are all subsequent problems. The most important problem now is: How do we leave First City?â
