Chapter 456: Transaction as Promised
Three days passed in a flash, and Xia Xiaoman took Maodan to the official headquarters as promised.
Jiang Yue had arrived earlier and was talking to Lu Lanshan. When they saw Xia Xiaoman coming over, they stopped talking.
Jiang Yue nodded to Xia Xiaoman, "Long time no see, how have you been out there this month?"
"I'm doing fine. How about you? Why didn't you leave with the people from the capital?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Jiang Yue curled her lips and said nothing. How could she leave before she convinced Yu Jie to support the Xu family's rise to power?
The two of them talked about the past for a while, and then entered the mini submarine under Lu Lanshan's arrangement. This submarine not only has a small internal space, but also has low power, with a range of less than five kilometers. It can only be used as a means of transportation to and from the underground city.
The submarine surfaced, and Xia Xiaoman looked around. After an eight-day storm, the water level had risen a lot, and there were several small hills that were exposed above the water nearby, but now they have all disappeared.
It was Jiang Yue's first time out of the dungeon. She looked around curiously, "It's really strange. It's raining and there's no sun, so why is it so hot and stuffy?"
Xia Xiaoman kindly reminded, "This is your first time out, and you haven't adapted to the outside environment yet. Try to move as little as possible to avoid heatstroke."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of splashing water was heard. Jiang Yue turned his head to look at the water surface. A black shadow was swimming quickly towards them in the water. Jiang Yue subconsciously raised his pistol.
Xia Xiaoman also took out her pistol, and put it down only when the shadow in the water surfaced and showed its head. "Have you been around here all the time?" Otherwise, how could Fu Baiwei come as soon as they came out of the water.
Fu Baiwei did not answer, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yue.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman explained: "Don't you want to take out the chip? She can help you."
Fu Baiwei slowly said, "How... to take it?"
Jiang Yue took out a scanner and said, "Come into the submarine. I'll scan your entire body to find the location of the chip, and then perform surgery to remove the chip for you."
Fu Baiwei frowned and looked at Xia Xiaoman, "Don't want...her, let's change you..." She didn't trust Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Okay, come into the submarine and let Xia Xiaoman help you scan. I'll be by your side to guide Xia Xiaoman in the operation."
Fu Baiwei frowned and said, "No... just sweep here..."
Jiang Yue thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, then you climb up."
Fu Baiwei looked at Xia Xiaoman and then at Jiang Yue, thought for a moment, and then climbed onto the submarine using all four limbs.
Xia Xiaoman took the scanner from Jiang Yue and slowly scanned Fu Baiwei's body. "Fu Baiwei, you didn't enter the dungeon, so how could you be injected with a nanochip?"
Fu Baiwei was silent for a while, then said, "Being tricked... to be able to go underground..."
After being told that she was not qualified to enter the dungeon, Fu Baiwei thought about stealing someone else's number plate to enter the dungeon. Just as she was about to do it, she met a man in official uniform.
The other party said that there was a way to send them into the dungeon, but the fee would be more expensive than the normal procedure to enter the dungeon.
At first, Fu Baiwei thought they were scammers and ignored them. Later, when she saw that they really sent some people who were not qualified to enter the dungeon, she gritted her teeth and handed over her savings to them.
The other party arranged all the procedures before entering the underground city, including the injection of nanochips. But when they were about to enter the underground city, those people disappeared without a trace.
Fu Baiwei realized that she had been fooled. But it was too late. The supplies were gone. Everyone in the team blamed her. Except for a dozen women who had nowhere to go, the rest of the team ran away.
Later, he experienced the same fate as other mutants, being affected by the black meteorite and mutated. During the flood, he discovered the black fruit, which changed his respiratory organs and allowed him to survive in such a harsh environment.
Xia Xiaoman asked again: "Are all mutants injected with nanochips, or only some of them?"
Fu Baiwei glanced at her and said, "Only part of it." It's not like everyone is as easy to deceive as her. Some people are very smart and would rather be trapped outside than sell the supplies in their hands.
Xia Xiaoman wanted to ask her what she had eaten during the time she had been outside the underground city, but before she could open her mouth, the instrument sounded a prompt and found the location of the chip in Fu Baiwei's body.
"The chip is on the left back shoulder."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue said, "This position is good. Even if you hit hard, it won't cause much damage to the body."
She looked at Fu Baiwei, "We have found the location of the chip. Isn't it time for you to tell us the location of those black fruits?"
Fu Baiwei raised her hand and touched her left shoulder. After thinking for a while, she said, "Meteorite... in the ground..."
Jiang Yue frowned, "Are you saying that these black fruits were dug out from the ground under the black meteorite?"
Fu Baiwei nodded and said, "The number...is not large."
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes. The black meteorite and the black fruit both have the function of changing the body. Why didn't she think of this?
Fu Baiwei turned around and patted her left shoulder, "Dig, speed up!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yue took out an umbrella from the submarine, opened it, and held it over Fu Baiwei. Then she handed the packaged scalpel to Xia Xiaoman, "You do it, I'll hold the umbrella for you."
Xia Xiaoman nodded and took out the packaged scalpel. Just as she was about to start, Fu Baiwei suddenly turned around and grabbed Xia Xiaoman's wrist holding the scalpel.
Fu Baiwei grabbed Xia Xiaoman's hand and pulled it in front of her. She lowered her head and smelled the scalpel in her hand. Then her face changed drastically, and she grabbed Xia Xiaoman's hand and stabbed Jiang Yue.
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then realized that there must be something smeared on the scalpel, which caused Fu Baiwei to suddenly attack and injure people.
At the same time, more than a dozen people emerged from the water and shot at Fu Baiwei with tranquilizer guns. No matter how fast Fu Baiwei was, it was difficult for her to dodge the surrounding shooting of more than a dozen people. After a while, she was shot five or six times.
Everything happened so fast that before Xia Xiaoman could figure out the situation, Fu Baiwei had already fainted. Before she fainted, she was still staring at Xia Xiaoman, probably thinking that Xia Xiaoman had designed to capture her.
"Jiang Yue, what's going on?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Jiang Yue coldly.
Jiang Yue called two people to tie up Fu Baiwei before answering: "This is Mayor Yu's intention. She has always wanted to catch mutants. She didn't have the opportunity before, but now she has the opportunity. She can't just watch this opportunity slip away."
Xia Xiaoman stopped the people who wanted to kidnap Fu Baiwei with a sullen face, "If you want to catch mutants, find a way to catch them yourself, but you shouldn't use me! Let her go!"
Jiang Yue looked helpless, "Xia Xiaoman, be more rational. It is a good thing for them that the mutants are brought back to the underground city."
"They have become half-human and half-ghost now. Once they enter the dungeon, the people in the laboratory will find a way to turn them back to normal. Do you want your friends to always look like monsters?"
Xia Xiaoman looked at the comatose Fu Baiwei, feeling very conflicted. After thinking for a moment, she compromised and said, "You must ensure that you will not harm her except for normal treatment, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable for you."
"You know, I have the ability to give you a headache." Xia Xiaoman stared at Jiang Yue coldly.
