latent body

Chapter 61
Ling Zihan was very satisfied with the effect he had caused.

He looked at Yang Yan with a smile: "Like I said, I don't know what the Pearl of Light is, nor what the Box of Sequence is."

"You..." Yang Yan finally woke up from the depths of shock: "This... Liu Mingquan gave you this?"

He is smart and quick to respond.

Ling Zihan did not explain.He put down the sleeves of his clothes, and then casually lowered his trousers. On his extremely young face, his eyes released extremely mature gazes.

"I've done what you told me. Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"You are not my opponent. As long as I want to, I can kill you now."

"But after thinking about it, I can't find a reason to kill you."

His voice was very soft, but every word was like a bombshell in Yang Yan's ears, and there was a terrible shock that penetrated deep into the brain and completely shook the nerve center.

Ling Zihan suddenly smiled.

"I think we can be friends." This is what he often said.Of course, when to say it and to whom to say it depends on the person.

Yang Yan subconsciously glanced at Ling Zihan's arm.Although the cloth of the clothes covered the incomparably powerful Zhongwei Model Seven modified mechanical arm, the impression in his mind was still as clear as a brand.

"...I need a helper." After brewing his emotions, Yang Yan put away all kinds of messy and dark thoughts deep in his heart, and began to look at the problem from a normal perspective.

Of course he heard the threatening element in Ling Zihan's words.

He really wanted to pull out his pistol and take this handsome guy who made all men gnash their teeth into prison.It's your own territory there, and you can play however you want when the time comes.

Yet he dared not, and could not.

Yang Yan knew that Ling Zihan was helping Liu Mingquan.That kind of rich man is very difficult to deal with, and all public officials are unwilling to provoke him.

The surface of the Grade A mechanical arm that Ling Zihan had just revealed was messy with scratches, and some dirt could even be seen in the grooves.This suggested that the Augment had been on him for some time, at least a few days.

Yang Yan watched Ling Zihan leave the house with Kong Linlin's head.He knew that it was what Liu Mingquan asked for by name.It is estimated that the first-class accessories on Ling Zihan were paid by Liu Mingquan, but it is obviously illogical to pay before the task is completed, so the relationship between the two of them must be closer than I imagined.

Yes, only the word "intimacy" can explain everything.

Ling Zihan looks good, he probably drank Liu Mingquan's wine... Although the direction of guessing is full of malice, in Yang Yan's view, this is the correct answer.

So...don't care!

What about the Sun Cult, the Box of Discord, the Orb of Light, the altar, and the damn rituals... all go to hell!
I'm just a normal guy, not a superhero saving the world.

My biggest life dream in this life is to become the police chief of Floating Cloud City.

So when Ling Zihan said the word "friend", Yang Yan's heart was moved.

He saw infinite possibilities from Ling Zihan.

Although the ingredients are a bit complicated, it seems beneficial to me as a whole.

Not just anyone is qualified to cling to the powerful.

Not just anyone can get support from the underworld level.

What's more important is that Ling Zihan has another identity - he is a reserve soldier of the Azure Dragon Legion.

Although he is involved in gangsters and murders, God knows what kind of secrets are hidden in him, but he at least maintains the bottom line in terms of character and morality.

Yang Yan picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

He stared at Ling Zihan with slightly red eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you will remember what I just said."

Ling Zihan nodded with a smile.

Through the eyes of the other party, he saw sighs, unwillingness, and struggles... Of course, the most decisive factor among them is acquiescence and approval.

Yang Yan stood up: "Come with me!"

Ling Zihan asked, "Where are you going?"

Yang Yan said lightly: "Fulfill my previous promise. Since I signed the contract with the Azure Dragon Legion, the consequences of refusal will be very serious."

……

Chengnan, No. 33 Freight Yard, NO.11 Warehouse.

Yang Yan pressed the fingerprint lock and brought his head close to the retinal scanner. All the information was confirmed to be correct, and there was a clear and pleasant "click" sound from inside the electronic lock.

He grabbed the metal door frame that was more than half a meter long with both hands, and pushed the heavy door to the left, revealing a temporary passage that was about one meter wide.

Ling Zihan was surprised to find that this steel gate was very heavy, at least fifteen centimeters thick.

Yang Yan walked in front, he was very familiar with this place, he casually pressed a row of buttons on the side wall, and suddenly the whole warehouse was brightly lit, illuminating everything.

Looking at everything in front of him, even Ling Zihan, who was mentally prepared, still couldn't help but open his mouth, and let out an uncontrollable exclamation from the depths of his throat.

The shelves are full of different models of robotic arms.From the most common Hengde three models to Hengde high-end models are available.

Yang Yan didn't lie, he promised that the reward would be [-] sets of grade-A adaptation body modification accessories.But here, Ling Zihan alone has seen at least two hundred sets of Zhongwei's robotic arms of different models.

Mechanical feet, hybrid batteries, various patchwork chips, human body auxiliary steel frame, metal skeleton...

There are so many things here that it is simply dazzling and overwhelming.

Ling Zihan tried his best to control his emotions, scanning the audience with calm eyes.

Yang Yan raised his finger and pointed to the nearest shelf: "One hundred sets of accessories for Grade A adaptants, you can choose them yourself!"

Ling Zihan turned around and looked at him with playful eyes: "Didn't you say there are only eighty sets?"

"You said that we can be friends." Yang Yan seemed very generous: "Anyway, the things here are second-hand. I'm not sure which ones will work. You have to test and choose by yourself."

Ling Zihan deliberately made a joke, and it was also a kind of temptation: "I didn't expect you to be a part-time dealer in second-hand goods."

"These things don't belong to me." Yang Yan took out a cigarette and handed one to Ling Zihan: "Floating Cloud City used to be chaotic, um... Of course, the current order can't be said to be very good. Vandalism, looting, murder and arson, and various crimes... Half of these are parts removed from the dead, and the other half are from those who have been convicted by the court. Whether they are forced to work or serve sentences in prison, they must dismantle their extra-standard reinforced parts."

"Exceeding the standard?" It was the first time Ling Zihan heard such a statement.

Yang Yan took a puff of cigarette, and looked at Ling Zihan with unkind eyes: "For example, you, a Grade A enhanced body, cannot be locked in an ordinary prison. Your mechanical arm can easily tear down the entire cell."

"Of course, it's a different matter if it's a single cell with strong protection capabilities. The problem is that the prison will have to spend a lot of construction costs. In order to avoid accidents and additional unnecessary expenses, all criminals in prison must remove the super-standard strengthening accessories. Everyone can only install the minimum configuration during their sentence, which is the D-level primary body kit."

Ling Zihan was convinced of this: "This is a good way. An old woman and a dog can guard hundreds of vicious gangsters."

Yang Yan said lightly: "There are dozens of such warehouses."

Ling Zihan expressed doubts about this while being surprised: "Since Liuyun City was founded, there have been so many criminals?"

Yang Yan explained: "Not only Floating Cloud City, but also the outer areas of the city, all crimes and abnormal death remains are under our control. I don't know exactly when it started. Anyway, this freight yard has been built for some years."

Ling Zihan turned around and stared at those cold mechanical parts with complicated eyes.

The difference between the wilderness and the city is too great.

When the refugees are fighting with their lives for a mechanical arm, there are so many similar objects in the city, and no one seems to want them.

Of course, there is a premise here - not just anyone can enter the freight yard and warehouse and take away the inventory here.

Yang Yan’s voice came from behind: “When this yard was built before, it was mainly for making money. Although they were all second-hand goods, the audience was still very wide. Later, the people above suggested that it was not appropriate to do so, mainly because the reputation was bad, and the warehouse inventory at that time was far less than it is now.

Ling Zihan expressed doubts about this: "Since this is the case, are you still guarding yourself?"

"Don't speak so harshly." Yang Yan frowned: "We are a cooperative relationship. You helped me solve Kong Linlin's case, and I will definitely add your name to the report. In other words, you are considered a meritorious minister, and the police department must reward you to a certain extent."

"You don't have to think about giving bonuses directly. As long as money is involved, it is basically impossible to approve it. But if you give benefits in another way, it can still be discussed."

Ling Zihan suddenly realized.

Before he proposed a reward of [-] sets of A-level adaptation body modification accessories, it was actually a trial by the lion. He did not expect Yang Yan to counter-offer [-] sets... At that time, he felt that something was wrong. Now it seems that the offer is still too low.

Within the limits allowed by the rules, many seemingly impossible things can be operated.

He smiled.

"In this case, I might as well give you more. Two hundred sets of Grade A adaptive body accessories...or... three hundred, what do you think?" Ling Zihan turned around and looked at Yang Yan with a discussion look.

The latter did not speak.

Yang Yan stood there quietly, puffing on his cigarette one after another, puffing out the clouds in silence.

He quickly exhausted the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped it out.

Yang Yan obviously thought about his words and made a decision.

He stared at Ling Zihan with undisguised desire, and asked seriously, "What can I get?"
