Chapter 276 Compensation
The medical team that entered the fighting arena examined the unconscious people and found that there were nine deaths and seventeen serious injuries in the melee just now.
Most of the dead were first-level fighters, which was much better than the tragic result that had been predicted.
A security guard came up to Senior Sun and whispered, "Sir, Gong Zhanyi of the Gong family is seriously injured."
Senior Sun said, "Tell the medical staff to do their best to save him."
Someone from the Gong family was attacked and injured on the Canglong Company's ship and is in critical condition. This matter may be a little troublesome, but Gong Zhanyi is not the heir of the Gong family, so this matter can still be settled.
"Also, use this opportunity to find out if Wei Wusheng is related to them. This matter is very important, and I allow you to use any means."
The security captain said he understood and continued, "We found Wei Wusheng's previous hiding place. He was very familiar with the route on the ship, especially the place where he hid before. It was a corner where cargo was stored. Generally, no one went there. He would not have known about it without someone inside telling him.
Sir, could it be that someone in the company…"
Senior Sun immediately interrupted him: "Don't say anything if you don't have evidence."
The security captain immediately fell silent.
Although Senior Sun stopped him from speaking further, he knew in his heart that the security captain's inference was not unreasonable, and it did seem like something that some people in the company would do.
It seems that the fact that he is in charge of the "Duomu" project has touched upon the interests of certain people.
He pondered for a moment and then asked, "How are those two doing now?"
The security captain replied: "After taking the medicine, he is recovering and seems to be in good condition."
Senior Sun nodded, and he signaled the security captain to go and do his thing first. He walked out of the fighting arena. He saw Chen Chuan standing on the side of the ship, holding the Xuejun Sword, looking at the undulating sea water in the night.
Senior Sun came out and came to Chen Chuan's side and said, "I've had the medical team check them out, and they're all fine. I had them injected with a soothing drug. If there's no reaction in half an hour, then they're fine."
Chen Chuan asked, "Senior Sun, what is that?"
Senior Sun replied: "That's a toxin produced by the Red Sea Worm. It can excite third-level fighters and stimulate their state..."
He explained briefly and added, "But it's not a good thing for most fighters below the third limit. Those with weak wills are likely to have their minds affected."
Chen Chuan didn't ask any further questions. Since Senior Sun said so, he would just believe it.
Senior Sun looked at him and said sincerely, "Junior Chen, I checked the records and found that you are currently applying for Yaoguang Irradiation, a project in which we at Canglong have invested heavily and are primarily involved.
As a reward and compensation for this incident, I will use the company's authority to give you three more hours of radiation time each month. This is our sincere offer, and I hope you can accept it."
Chen Chuan's thoughts shifted. While Senior Sun certainly intended to offer compensation, he also likely hoped that as the only sober person present, he wouldn't publicize the matter. He said, "This is indeed what I need. I won't hold back."
Seeing that he was willing to accept, Senior Sun relaxed a little and said, "Junior Chen, if you need any help in the future, you can always contact me this way."
At this time, Chen Chuan saw that there was a new contact on the contact interface. The avatar was a long dragon soaring in the clouds. Under the bright light, the body was looming. The name behind it was Sun Zhiming. Knowing that this was Senior Sun, he accepted and added him.
Then he asked, "Senior Sun, who is that Wei Wusheng?"
Senior Sun said, "Wei Wusheng was once a core member of the Tianshu Gang, but they expelled him not long ago. He's a martial arts fanatic. He used to challenge any famous fighters he could find. His powerful horizontal training techniques made him unmatched. We're also investigating why he did this today."
Chen Chuan nodded. This person was indeed very powerful. He seldom encountered someone who could withstand Xue Jun's sword with his own body. Although he did not use the furnace breathing method at that time, he felt that even if he used it, this person might be able to withstand it.
There should be some unique methods to deal with such people. I will continue training after I go back, and I can ask Teacher Zheng for advice at the same time.
He said: "From what he revealed earlier, it seems that he wanted to fulfill his own wish."
"Thoughts?"
After hearing this, Senior Sun's expression grew more serious. He said, "This information is very important, Junior Chen. Thank you for sharing it." Perhaps someone was contacting him, so he touched his lower realm token and said to Chen Chuan, "Junior Chen, I'll be leaving now. If you need anything, just contact me directly."
After shaking hands with Chen Chuan, he quickened his pace and left.
Chen Chuan stood there for a moment, then walked towards the infirmary. Halfway there, he discovered that Jie Ping's external communications had fully recovered. Someone called him. He glanced and saw it was Ni Qianqian, so he connected the call. Then, the latter's voice rang in his ear: "Brother Chen, are you on the Rhino Horn cruise ship?"
Chen Chuan said, "Yes, I was there. Secretary Ni, are you asking about the violence that happened on the cruise ship? Not only was I there, I was personally involved."
"What a coincidence? That saves us a lot of effort."
Ni Qianqian said, "Canglong Company has its own security team and wants to handle this on their own. They don't want us to get involved. However, we've learned through certain channels that this incident is related to Wei Wusheng from the Tianshu Gang. This person has already been registered with the police, and the handling bureau has the right to participate in the investigation of any crime involving fighters.
Canglong Company failed to handle the matter properly this time, and we will be investigating. Since you are involved in this matter, it will be easy to handle. Submit a report to the bureau when you have time."
Chen Chuan said hello.
Ni Qianqian said, "Then I won't disturb your holiday."
Chen Chuan ended the conversation, walked for a while, and entered the medical room. After waiting for a while, Pan Xiaode, Tan Zhi, and Qi Huixin woke up one after another.
After Pan Xiaode woke up, he immediately asked, "Who won? Who won?"
Tan Zhi rubbed his head and said, "It seems to be fruitless. I saw someone go up and smash open the water tank. I said, why are we lying here?"
Qi Huixin rubbed her forehead, she seemed to have trouble remembering what happened.
Whether it was the sobering potion or the toxin, the three of them completely forgot what happened next. In fact, it wasn't just them; everyone who woke up had forgotten the fight, their only recollection being the moment Wei Wusheng rushed out and smashed the aquarium.
Chen Chuan said, "Using Senior Sun's words, the water in the aquarium contained toxins from red sea worms. Because the aquarium broke, the water leaked outside, and so all of us were contaminated by the toxins."
"Is that so?" Pan Xiaode said, "Xiaodi Chen, you woke up faster than the rest of us."
Chen Chuan looked at him and thought to himself that since all three of them were dizzy, it would seem out of place if he wasn't. So he just said "hmm".
Tan Zhi was a little more sober at this time. He looked down at the world and said, "Look, it's almost ten o'clock now. The main event of the day is over. I think we should go back and rest early. I still feel a little dizzy."
Pan Xiaode was a little disappointed: "It's a pity that I didn't finish watching the fight today. I have to go back tomorrow. I don't know if I will have the chance next time."
Tan Zhi comforted him and said, "There will always be a chance."
Chen Chuan waited with them for a while longer, and seeing that they had almost recovered, he left and went back to the guest room. After returning to his room, he washed up, drafted a report, sent it out, and went back to sleep.
Senior Sun returned to the main cabin. He called the person in charge of the multi-eye project over and asked him:
"Today's student Chen is only a second-level fighter, but he wasn't affected by the multi-purpose field. Well, he took medication before, in order to fight a third-level fighter. Is this normal?"
The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "There are always some special individuals among the crowd. Regardless of whether they are at the third level or not, people with particularly good physical fitness may not be affected. I have never met this student Chen, but judging from what you said, he may be one of them.
Especially since he took the drug to fight a third-level fighter, if his will to survive is strong, then he's very likely to maintain a certain level of sanity. Although there haven't been any previous examples of this happening, it's theoretically possible."
Senior Sun nodded and asked, "How's the situation with 'Duomu'?"
The person in charge said: "'Duomu' is currently very stable, but the battle between the two fighters was not long, so Duomu has not yet been able to collect complete information expression and field records.
Later, due to Wei Wusheng's appearance, too much information about other fighters, especially those at the lower levels, was mixed into the field. This required us to guide and sort it out, and it might take some time to process."
Senior Sun asked, "Will it have a big impact?"
The person in charge replied: "No, with Wei Wusheng joining us, we may even be able to add another field record, but it's not as complete. If there is a chance, we hope to collect it completely."
Senior Sun said, "Although the Multi-Eye Project is just one project in the company's larger plan, it's an indispensable piece of the puzzle. What just happened won't affect us. I just spoke with the company, and you can move forward without worrying about any other impacts."
The person in charge took his hand out of his coat pocket, adjusted his glasses, and said, "That's good."
Senior Sun patted the railing in front of him and said, "All major companies are now advancing their own projects. For the next era, our Canglong Company must catch up.
Next, I will submit a report to the company and launch multiple derivative businesses into the market to further improve our data. Everyone, please prepare yourself."
