"They left? Did we really reject their proposition?" Li Yuxin asked while looking out from the minibus' rear window .
"Let's go . We'll leave this matter as it is for now," Jiang Liushi gave a casual answer and sat on the sofa .
Jiang Liushi didn't trust the current military figures . Of course, if they were to reward them handsomely, Jiang Liushi would gladly cooperate with them .
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi sprang up from the sofa .
"Ah? Brother Jiang, what happened?"
Jiang Liushi's sudden action shocked the others . He didn't respond to the question, but he walked toward Ying .
A moment ago the Starseed detected a particular source of energy fluctuations .
Even though the Starseed had detected energy fluctuations in the past, that one was extraordinary . What's even more perplexing was the source's distance; it was about 200 km away from them . In other words, the source was special!
"Brother Jiang, what kind of information did the Starseed transmit to you?" Ying asked .
"It informed me about a special source of energy fluctuations . If we can get our hands on it, we'll be able to unlock the MCV's third form," Jiang Liushi explained excitedly .
The MCV's second evolution let him transform the minibus into a mining truck . At the same time, the MCV's combat capability greatly increased . Jiang Liushi was eager to see the advantages the third evolution would bring him .
"About 200 km away… then, should we head over there now?" Ying asked .
"Don't worry . First, we should find about the situation toward that direction . We have to consider how we'll act and make plans carefully," Jiang Liushi answered .
It was a piece of cake to get information in Star City Base .
Jiang Liushi quickly drove his minibus to a mixed market and found a person who specialized in the transactions regarding information . It took only a pound of grain, and Jiang Liushi got detailed information about where he wanted to go .
Jiang Liushi was surprised by the information they got . Where they wanted to go wasn't a wild place, but a city named "Fallen City . "
Star City Base's separatist forces, coupled with numerous survivors, were too powerful . They even created a city to fight against Star City's forces . One could imagine Fallen City's situation, just by its name . It was a city without law and order, or in layman's terms, a paradise for wicked people .
"No wonder the military is dead set on eliminating the warlords and separatists' forces . If they don't get rid of them quickly, then Star City's may cease to exist," Li Yuxin said with a surprised voice .
"According to my estimation, the current military can't control the situation at all," Jiang Liushi said with a map of Fallen City in his hands . After doomsday, humanity's dark side had been boosted .
"Fallen City's situation isn't so simple . According to the merchant who sold us the information, the most influential people in it aren't the warlords, but two survivors; a couple . The man goes by the name Dark Star, and the woman is called Blood Cloud . They're extremely mysterious, and they participated in Fallen City's construction . Even the military is extremely wary of them . "
"Many of Star City's survivors have gone to Fallen City, as it's a paradise for evil . Are we really going to that city?" Ying asked .
"Yes . I'm curious about the special source of energy that the Starseed detected . " Jiang Liushi said .
In a single-family villa…
At that moment, Xia Xun was like an angry kitten, telling her grandfather about Jiang Liushi's rude behavior and demands . Xia Yongfeng was silently listening to her description and couldn't help but laugh .
"Grandpa, why are you laughing?"
"Although those survivors are somewhat arrogant, they have real skills . However, you're right . "
Xia Yongfeng proposed to cooperate with Shi Ying Squad because General Zhang was the one who had handpicked them . Furthermore, He Tianhu's members were very cunning, and only Shi Ying Squad could deal with their underhanded methods .
"Dear granddaughter, take it easy . He Tianhu is powerful, and even Jiang Liushi may die if he faces him . As long as He Tianhu is alive, Shi Ying Squad will come to find us on their own," Xia Yongfeng said .
Xia Xun shook her fist and said, "When that guy takes the initiative to come and find us, I'll teach him a lesson!" Xia Xuan imagined that scene and felt relieved .
However, the moment she finished speaking, suddenly a messenger knocked on the door .
"Commander, they have left Star City Base . It seems they're heading toward Fallen Ciτy!" A soldier said
Hearing the news, Xia Yongfeng was shocked .
