Chapter 102: The Full Set Of Profession Potions
Two kilometers away, the modified off-road vehicle was approaching the outskirts of Yijin City.
The engine roared, paying no attention to the zombies on both sides. Behind it, the firepower on the personnel carrier was fully unleashed, and wherever they went, the zombies were like ground just plowed, with flesh and blood flying.
Zhang Min watched with her heart trembling, feeling the strength of the Steel Council intuitively once again.
A hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes. She was very curious what expression Su Huan would have facing the Steel Council, and whether that face could still smile.
Would it be his usual fake smile, or Wang Fei’s kind of fawning smile?
‘If he sees me now, his expression should be even more exciting…’
Just as she was immersed in her imagination, a blue beam of light pierced straight through the off-road vehicle, leaping between her and Li Tao, and heading directly toward the armored vehicle behind.
The seat and armor instantly generated high temperature, emitting a burnt stench.
Before Zhang Min could react to what happened, the off-road vehicle made a sudden brake, and her body flew out directly.
There was no expected impact; instead, a hand cushioned her forehead.
Li Tao’s clear and cold voice drilled into her ears, “Sit tight. This is the other side greeting us.”
“Damn! The armored vehicle behind flipped!”
The soldier in the passenger seat cursed.
Li Tao glanced at the large hole beside him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. “Anti-Materiel Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle, effective attack range over three kilometers, can easily penetrate 20mm armor, actual armor-piercing capability over 100mm. It seems this train conductor’s methods are much tougher than we imagined. Send a signal to the air, tell them not to come over. We’ll continue driving over and get within ten meters!”
Moments later, a blue signal flare rose into the sky, and the helicopter hovered in the distance.
The off-road vehicle stopped by the roadside approached the direction of the train.
Su Huan looked at the convoy continuing to drive toward them and put down the sniper rifle, not attacking again.
This was how big forces greeted each other. If the major from his previous life were here, he could probably stably control the bullets to sweep off the opponent’s collar without hurting them.
“Open your eyes wide. Soon you’ll see what a big shot’s entourage looks like.”
Su Huan teasingly looked to his left and right.
Unfortunately, no one understood his malicious fun.
Boring.
The off-road vehicle drove directly to the open space beside the railway track.
This area had been washed by acid rain for three days and was already muddy and unbearable. Although the acid rain had stopped, it still flowed like small streams, with turbid rainwater occasionally flashing with light.
The off-road vehicle didn’t move. Several personnel carriers behind drove up, and more than thirty servant soldiers jumped down with guns in hand. Their military boots stepped directly into the rainwater without hesitation. Some coldly stared at the armored train, while others began taking things out from inside the vehicle.
Several steel plates were connected end to end, laid on the ground under the off-road vehicle, perfectly blocking the acid rain.
Only then did the driver and the passenger soldier get out and open the car door.
A young man in a black suit, with impeccably neat sideburns, stepped down from the vehicle. His leather shoes were spotless, without even a speck of mud on the sides.
In the gloomy weather, that pair of leather shoes still shone dazzlingly.
The young man adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, scanned the somewhat ferocious modified train, quickly locked his gaze on Su Huan who was grinning by the car window, and approached Su Huan’s direction carrying a briefcase while stepping on the steel plate road surface.
Only the driver and that passenger soldier followed him standing on the steel plates; the other servant soldiers could only stand in the water.
“Has the Steel Council become this lame now, even pulling in a few ordinary people to make up the scene?”
Su Huan looked at the young man in front of him and said indifferently.
Li Tao paused for a moment, then said calmly, “After all, the drastic change just started. The company’s elites are limited and can only be used on matters concerning life and death.”
“Like the New City Plan?”
If it were someone else, they would definitely be very surprised to hear the other party knew so much about their company’s plan.
But Li Tao just gave Su Huan a deep look.
“Does your company have no similar plans?”
Su Huan also shook his head. “Too poor. Who knows how many years it would take to prepare. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come this far to rob an armory. You won’t try to take it back, right?”
Looking at his feigned nervous expression, Li Tao sneered inwardly.
“Mr. Su is joking. Since you robbed it, it’s yours. Qingchuan is so big, and it’s not the only small armory. The Steel Council naturally won’t make a big fuss over these hundreds of thousands of bullets. I’m mainly here to ask about Mr. Su’s purpose and see if there’s any possibility of cooperation between our two companies.”
“Purpose… finding someone. As for cooperation, how do you want to cooperate?”
To be honest, Su Huan was quite interested in cooperation.
If he could get some gene potions from the Steel Council, that would be even better. The train currently had no conditions to produce such precise things.
A glint flashed in Li Tao’s eyes. “I don’t know who you’re looking for, but the company has some foundation in the Qingchuan area. Perhaps we can provide some help.”
“No need. Let’s talk about cooperation instead.”
Seeing that Su Huan had no interest in that, Li Tao didn’t press and said instead, “We hope to trade some mutated beast materials, profession skill combinations, gene potions, and the like.”
Su Huan narrowed his eyes; it was about what he expected.
The Steel Council naturally wouldn’t come to trade with him for common goods like bullets or food. The only thing that could interest them was evolution-related information.
That was the secret to their lead over ordinary people.
While ordinary people were still worrying about three meals a day, they were already thinking about which profession paired best with which skill.
“So what’s your bargaining chip?”
Li Tao didn’t speak but opened his briefcase, took out a metal box, pressed his fingerprint on it. With a mechanical sound, the box automatically unfolded, revealing three glass test tubes, about thumb-thick and ten centimeters long, with gorgeous colors.
“Gene potion. This is our bargaining chip.”
Su Huan glanced at it, not expecting the other party to bring this thing over.
Moreover, after sensing with general energy perception, these three were indeed genuine, not some casually mixed colored water.
It seemed he had been bluffed.
“I know it’s gene potion. Is it basic potion, skill potion, or the full set of profession potion? The difference inside is huge.”
Hearing him say that, Li Tao became even more certain inwardly.
Ordinary survivors might luckily become evolvers, but they absolutely couldn’t luckily know such complete information.
Only big companies with scientific research capabilities would know this.
Basic potions could only increase attributes like physique and strength, but skill potions had a 50% probability of directly granting a certain skill.
The full set of profession potions was even rarer; they were pre-matched by others. As long as the genes didn’t collapse after use, one would directly become the corresponding profession evolver.
“To show sincerity, we’ve brought this time the full set of Tier 1 profession potion produced by Obsidian Industry, ‘Sharpshooter’. I wonder if this bargaining chip can move your company?”
