Chapter 66 Growing Pains



Before he gained the ability to travel through time and space, Chen Yan's principle in dealing with people has always been to take a step back and the sky will be clear, and to be patient and the situation will be calm.

Although it sounds very cowardly, for ordinary people living at the bottom of society, their ability to resist risks is really too poor. Many times, the results of a moment of courage will make people overwhelmed and their lives collapse.

Therefore, being cautious is often a character trait that most ordinary people must possess.

It’s not that they don’t want to live more freely and capriciously, but they just don’t have the capital to do so.

But Chen Yan is different now.

The sudden possession of the ability to travel through time and space not only brought him endless possibilities for his future, but also caused his mentality to change dramatically in a very short period of time.

In the past, taking a step back would open up a new world, but now why should I step back?

In the past, you could be patient for a while and everything would be fine. But now, why can’t you be patient?

The more capital a person has, the more confident he will be, which will in turn affect his views and ways of doing things!

Of course, Chen Yan just wanted to teach Director Sun a lesson within a reasonable range, and he had no intention of physically taking Director Sun's life because of this little discomfort.

In fact, after living in the wasteland world for a week, the moment Chen Yan returned to his own time and space, he keenly noticed the changes that had taken place in himself at the cognitive level.

This change has both good and bad sides and must be strictly controlled!

He must keep himself awake at all times. Otherwise, as his awakening level increases, the power he possesses will become stronger and stronger, and the benefits he can obtain from the wasteland world will increase. Chen Yan is very worried that he will be affected by the degree of gene unlocking, and his heart will swell so much that he loses his mind.

This is definitely not groundless worry!

There are many heroes in history who destroyed themselves because of extreme arrogance!

The meal lasted less than an hour and a half.

Director Sun ended up drinking one and a half kilograms, while Chen Yan drank a full three kilograms in one cup and almost ate all the food on the table.

When leaving the restaurant, Director Sun was already feeling dizzy because he drank too quickly.

Fortunately, the driver was waiting at the door of the hotel in advance and took Director Sun into the car.

"I drove here. Can I take you home? You look fine, but if the wind gets on you, that's not certain."

Chu Yinyin suggested.

Chen Yan refused directly, "I still have something to do. You can go back by yourself. Don't worry about me. It's just three pounds of wine. It might seem a bit arrogant to say it's a small amount. It's just a moderate amount. If this can cause problems, how can I survive in the future?"

Seeing that Chen Yan didn't look like he was in trouble, Chu Yinyin stopped insisting and nodded, "Okay, but if you feel unwell, remember to call me. My phone is on silent tonight."

After saying that, Chu Yinyin turned around and got into her car.

After watching Chu Yinyin drive away, Chen Yan walked out of the hotel and whispered, "Are you sure? Did Director Sun buy a house specifically to hide the bribe money?"

"Based on multiple data analysis, the probability is as high as 86%. However, whether this is true or not requires you to go there in person and inspect the situation on the ground to know for sure."

Chen Yan looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky and sighed, "Okay, show me the address and route, and check for me where I can get the rubber gloves. And... you need to be careful to hack into the Skynet system at any time and erase my whereabouts."

"Roger, Master!"

The same night, wasteland world.

Qiu Huidong, the chairman of Blackthorn Company, who was called Mr. Qiu by Vulture Li Hao, was standing in front of the window of the internal conference room of Blackthorn Company. He looked up and looked thoughtfully at the moon in the sky, which was flickering due to the obstruction of dark clouds.

Although the direct impact of nuclear winter is most severe only in the year or so after the outbreak of the Cataclysm.

However, after the huge amount of radioactive dust rose to the stratosphere, it slowly stagnated in the stratosphere for as long as ten years.

Even now, even though fifty years have passed since the outbreak of the Cataclysm, the impact of the nuclear winter is still constantly eroding the entire world.

For example, the dark clouds formed by radioactive dust in the sky still cover the sun from time to time.

If these radioactive dusts only block the sunlight and moonlight, there would not be a big problem. But we are worried that the radioactive dusts will be crowded together with other cumulonimbus clouds, and under the interaction, it is very likely that rain will occur!

The wasteland calls this kind of rainfall carrying a large amount of radioactive dust "black rain". If it occurs, it will be a complete disaster for the survivors in the rainfall area.

In addition to radiation pollution, this kind of rain often has strong acidic corrosive effects and carries various heavy metals, sulfides, and nitrogen oxides. As long as ordinary survivors are exposed to rain, they will definitely suffer serious pollution.

Even the first and second level awakeners may be damaged by the erosion of rain!

Qiu Huidong, standing in front of the window looking at the moon, looked a little worried.

Compared with last month, the amount of dark clouds in the sky has increased significantly.

If it was simply the accumulation of radioactive dust, Qiu Huidong wouldn't take it seriously at all.

After all, radioactive dust does not contain a large amount of water vapor, so even if it gathers into a radioactive cloud, it cannot bring rain.

The problem is that the Blackthorn Camp is located in a coastal area, and the difficulty of cumulonimbus clouds forming nearby is much lower than inland...

So a large amount of radioactive dust gathered into a radioactive cloud, floating back and forth above his head. In Qiu Huidong's eyes, it was no different from a time bomb.

Just as Qiu Huidong was thinking about how to temporarily reinforce all the houses in the camp to provide shelter from wind and rain in case of rain, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, three men came in one after another and came behind Qiu Huidong.

"Brother, why did you suddenly call us to a meeting? Is there something urgent?"

The most burly man among the three asked in a gruff voice.

Qiu Huidong withdrew his gaze from the moon outside the window, turned around, pointed toward the conference table, and said, "Just before dark, one of our company's managers saw some scavengers selling these things at the camp market. Take a look. Do they look familiar?"

Hearing this, the three of them subconsciously looked towards the conference table. Then, they noticed a few dirty backpacks quietly placed on the table...
