Upon hearing this, Li Xin probably understood Qin Che's request.
He said, "I will truthfully inform the city council of your thoughts. I believe that intelligent people will choose to cooperate with an extraordinary person like you." After saying that, Li Xin glanced at the black soldiers standing behind him, and a trace of apprehension arose in his heart.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Li Xin transformed into particles and quickly disappeared, while his voice reached Qin Che's ears: "I will give you a clear answer in a day. Goodbye, my friend."
Qin Che stood up and didn't linger there. He rolled up his cloak and disappeared without a trace.
...
The old industrial area has been reduced to ruins.
Smoke billowed, and corpses piled up in one place, all of them burned.
The trauma attack team carried out a sweep here. In any case, the fourth-class citizens gathered in the old industrial area were no different from garbage. Their lives were worthless and could be sacrificed at will.
"I've heard that the people here have a long history of dealings with the city's gangs. They gain the gangs' protection by trafficking people and organs. There are three or four gangs in the old industrial area, but why don't we see them here?"
"Are you stupid? Which gang would dare to disrespect our superior?"
Two fully armed soldiers, wearing helmets, were searching an area with their troops, guns in hand. They were scattered and seemed rather bored.
"This sweep has no specific target. The higher-ups want to do a purge. Sometimes gangs increase the city's crime rate, which the bigwigs don't like. Recently, there's been a period of bipartisan cooperation, and everyone knows that reducing the crime rate is a matter of course."
"I knew it, this place is much quieter than before. But speaking of which... our mission is to rescue a group of hostages, right?"
"Yes, the murderer has been identified. Their leader is named Zhou Jie. He's not affiliated with any gangs, but he's also the most powerful local thug in the area. They're really bold to kidnap the employees and families of the Forest Group. They're asking for trouble."
"Who hired Zhou Jie and his group? Could it be someone from higher up?"
"How could that be? They were a group of outsiders posing as merchants. But they're no longer here. The Sixth Team searched the area and came back empty-handed, and they even got a scolding from the deputy commander."
The soldier kicked away the thin metal scraps on the ground with a clinking sound.
At that moment, the radio crackled with the command from their squad leader.
"The commander has ordered us to gather our troops; it's time to go back."
"yes!"
The two soldiers exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.
"Damn, finally off work. I'll just find somewhere to have a drink later, then go back and play with Yukiko."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge, abandoned electrical appliance crashed down on the two soldiers, burying them completely with a loud bang.
The two soldiers died on the spot without even firing their guns, and the murderer was never seen.
A figure rushed through the garbage mountain and into an abandoned factory two hundred meters away. After a series of gunshots, the noise suddenly stopped. At the factory gate, Zhou Jie walked out carrying half a human body covered in blood. He was alone and his face was full of hatred.
In this operation, Zhou Jie's entire team was wiped out. Only he, being a power-speed type psychic master, managed to escape, but he was already at his last gasp.
He threw away the half-dead, bloodied body, gritted his teeth, stared fiercely in a certain direction, and said, "Once I catch my breath, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, I will avenge you!"
Pfft!
A large amount of steam burst forth from Zhou Jie's body, and the powerful air wave energy collapsed the factory's load-bearing pillars, leaving a huge crater in the ground. Countless spiderweb-like pressure marks burst open, one pillar immediately broke, and a large part of the ceiling supporting the factory suddenly collapsed.
As for Zhou Jie, he has vanished without a trace.

Name: Qin Che
Age: 18
[Psionic Power: 620↑/950 (Teleportation, Telekinesis)]
Neural Modification (Supernatural I)
[Mechanical activity value: 38%↓]
Meanwhile, Qin Che was alone in a safe place. He closed his eyes and started the seventh simulation—
[Wasteland survival simulator in progress.]
At 18, you formed a partnership with Li Xin and joined the Underground Awakening Department of Wall One, obtaining the intelligence you desired. You successfully killed Yuan Lin and used your extraordinary power to force the Forest Group to compromise with you. Sandcastle's starch business successfully took root in Wall One and West Fortress.
[A month later, you met Elder Fu Xian of the City Council, who introduced you to Scholar Han from the Land of Sages. Through this introduction, you entered the First Wall Spiritual Energy Academy to systematically study extraordinary knowledge.]
At 19, you became the strongest student at the Psionic Academy. After systematically studying psionic energy, your understanding of it deepened, and you also mastered a master-level technique, the Force-Speed type 'Hard Qi Gong.' This technique replaced your completely ineffective living machine, allowing you to retain your strength.
Three months later, Stone arrives in Lingbi City in a Sandcastle truck to find you. To your astonishment, you discover that she has awakened the extraordinary technique 'Super Intuition,' enabling her to foresee a short distance into the future. In the past year or so, she has trained herself into an outstanding warrior, becoming your capable assistant.
At 20, you successfully graduated from the Psionic Academy and officially joined the Underground Awakening Department. Li Xin naturally granted you some power, which you used to build a force comprised of talents from various fields, including the West Fortress military, the Royal Court's armored troops, psionic experts, the Trauma Action Team, and Sand Fortress intelligence personnel. In the eyes of outsiders, you became the leader of the 'Qin Faction Military Intelligence'.
At 21, the Oasis Alliance severed all cooperation and diplomatic ties with Wall One. You were shocked to learn that Yuan Lin was still alive. Through investigation, you discovered that the Yuan Lin you killed years ago was a fake. The real Yuan Lin had been hiding in West Fortress all along. He had cultivated a flawless imposter years ago using a disguise technique. After realizing his plan had failed, he left West Fortress with the help of a psychic with invisibility abilities and went to the Oasis Alliance. What surprised you even more was that Qin Guan, another major grain tycoon and the second-largest shareholder of the Forest Group, had actually been Yuan Lin's subordinate all along. You were filled with anger and frustration, but there was nothing you could do.
The Oasis Alliance launched its plan ahead of schedule, first declaring independence and then using food and weapons to win over a group of allies, which quickly led to their resurgence in various places. In just six months, thirty-six cities in the northern desert declared independence. The Oasis Alliance seized the opportunity and, led by Yuan Lin and Qin Guan, built a well-equipped army of more than 50,000 men, which stood in stark contrast to Lingbi City...
