"Did Li Fengnian tell you all this? Why...why was he so frank with you?"
Qin Yourong looked at Chen Yan with some confusion and asked.
After confirming that all the genetic medicines were qualified, Qin Yourong and Chen Yan sent Li Fengnian away first, and then put all the medicines into Chen Yan's personal warehouse, leaving only ten level four genetic medicines that were to be injected next.
On the way back to the villa area with the medicine, Qin Yourong felt quite strange after listening to Chen Yan repeating what Li Fengnian had just said.
Even though the Oasis of Life's sphere of influence is far away in North America, tens of thousands of miles away from here, it is indeed unlikely that they would follow Li Fengnian's scent here, but no matter how you look at it, it is always better to keep this matter secret, right?
Letting the secret rot in one's stomach is undoubtedly the safest approach, unless... Li Fengnian has other intentions?
"I don't know. I don't understand Li Fengnian. I can probably sense that he's telling the truth. But I can't tell how much truth he's telling. You should understand that the most clever liars don't usually lie to deceive people. They always manage to use limited truths to mislead you."
As Chen Yan spoke, he took out the test tube from his personal storage and handed it to Qin Yourong, saying, "I suspect it has something to do with this tube of medicine, because I really can't imagine that even a top-level force like Life Oasis must mobilize the entire organization's strength to develop a medicine, and he gave it to me so easily.
Because of this potion, he was forced to flee the Oasis of Life, risking his life and crossing all of Alaska and Siberia, paying a huge price, but he gave the potion to me? The reason is simply that he felt he got too much of a bargain? This is ridiculous, at least I don't believe it."
Qin Yourong took the potion and stared at the turquoise liquid inside. The look of doubt on her face did not ease at all, but became even more intense.
He hesitated and said, "Grandpa Fei does have some instruments that can be used to test medicines, but Grandpa Fei only has a superficial understanding of the medical field, so I guess it would be difficult for Grandpa Fei to come to a specific conclusion about the use of this medicine.
If your guess is correct and it's really related to this potion, then what is Li Fengnian's purpose? Unless this potion is not as precious as he said, otherwise, no matter how you look at it, he is at a huge loss, right? I really can't figure it out..."
Chen Yan shrugged and said, "Don't even think about it if you can't figure it out. Perhaps Li Fengnian is hoping to deflect the blame? The potion is in my possession, so if Life Oasis really finds him, he could easily betray me and save his own life. Or perhaps Li Fengnian wants to see how I react after being injected with this potion? Who knows.
"It's pointless to waste our time speculating. As long as Li Fengnian truly has a hidden agenda, he'll definitely take corresponding actions later. It's just a matter of fighting back. And... I always feel like Li Fengnian seems to have misunderstood something. Does he seem to have some other perception of me during his conversation with me?"
"Misunderstand?"
Qin Yourong felt that her CPU was about to burn out, and immediately shook her head decisively, deciding to follow Chen Yan's advice and not think about these troublesome problems for the time being.
On the other side, Li Fengnian was limping on the way back to the Blackthorn Camp, carrying large bags of salt, sugar and barrels of cooking oil in his hands.
The four-legged mechanical dog followed beside him. No matter how bad the road conditions were, the four-legged mechanical dog moved forward extremely steadily, and the huge refrigerator tied to its back also moved as if it were on flat ground, without any bumps at all.
All the vegetables and fruits were thrown into the refrigerator. Li Fengnian was very satisfied with the gains from the transaction, both in terms of quality and quantity.
If it was simply food used to fill the stomach, it would be impossible to exchange it for so many genetic drugs.
But the vegetables and fruits provided by Chen Yan are no longer just food.
If classified by quality, these vegetables and fruits can be classified as luxury goods.
Just like the mineral water that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a bottle before the catastrophe, it belonged to a small group of powerful and wealthy people at the top of the pyramid and was used to show off their identity and status.
As we all know, the value of luxury goods has never depended on their practicality.
By the same token, these vegetables and fruits cannot be measured by the value of the food itself.
What's more, there are also large quantities of refined salt, white sugar and pure high-quality cooking oil. By reselling them through the caravan, he can almost double the profit!
In short, he made a lot of money!
However, what really worried Li Fengnian was not the profits he could get from this transaction, but the completely unexpected ignorance that Chen Yan had shown during the previous communication.
That’s right, it’s ignorance!
It is absolutely impossible for someone with a top-tier background to be so ignorant!
"How strange! He seems completely clueless about the five major powers in the wasteland. This shouldn't be the case. If he truly is a homunculus of Purifying Dawn, then even if Purifying Dawn concealed the truth about him being a homunculus, they should definitely teach him about the wasteland situation.
Otherwise, how could he be assigned to carry out the mission? How could he be provided with supplies and support? The Purified Dawn's military strength is the weakest among the five top factions, far inferior to the Crimson Nation's robust military ethics. Shouldn't they be more cautious when sending an android into the Crimson Nation's sphere of influence?
Li Fengnian looked puzzled.
He always felt like he might be missing something.
But he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
"Shh... No! I'm taking things for granted! He's probably not a homunculus from the Purifying Dawn! He has ample supplies, hasn't been contaminated, and has only a limited understanding of the wasteland... Who could possibly meet all those requirements?
I've heard that cryogenic technology was already very advanced before the Cataclysm. Could it be that someone, having foreseen the coming Cataclysm, built a shelter deep underground and then cryogenically frozen themselves to avoid the disaster? Now that the cryogenic period is over, have they emerged again?
Although an ordinary shelter wouldn't be able to last for fifty years, if it were a shelter specifically designed to store frozen people, it theoretically could have lasted until now... Tsk, things seem to be getting more and more interesting!"
Li Fengnian's eyes lit up. He looked back and murmured, "After I help them make the fifth-level potion, I will ask to join them! Yeah...that's it!"
