The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 363 Mountain Forest Ranch

"This is the pasture you bought?" Standing on the guardrail, Gan Jing looked at everything around him curiously. The land of nearly 200 acres is really not small. The green pastures are blowing in the breeze, and the end can't even be seen at a glance. .

"Yeah!" Ling Xiao embraced Gan Jing from behind, and said softly: "In this way, in addition to the Matador Beach Villa, we can also have another vacation place, and here I can also plant some in large quantities. Herbal medicine, unlike Los Angeles where every inch of land is expensive, we have to import many things from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, not to mention time-consuming and laborious, and also cost a lot of money."

Ling Xiao plans to open up a medicine garden by the stream near the main house to grow some common Chinese medicinal materials, which can be regarded as a cover-up.

In the entire ranch, there are two main houses for the owner of the ranch. The main house on the west side near the road has four bedrooms and two living rooms, which are mainly used for entertaining guests, while the east side is closer to the creek. A small two-story building in the house was used by Ling Xiao as his lounge.

A row of huts at the entrance of the farm, with six rooms, is where the ranch cowboys stay on duty. In addition, there are barns, hay houses, tool rooms, and tall water storage towers, which are basically all the buildings inside the ranch.

This is the price that can be sold in a place like the Central Valley where every inch of land is very expensive. If it is changed to other states, the price will be at least twice as cheap. Of course, Ling Xiao bought this ranch, which will naturally increase his value. Way, at least, drought has never been a problem for him.

To buy this ranch, Ling Xiao used the funds on the surface, the funds obtained by SHIELD to buy Taiyin Renshui. Anyway, he has to pay taxes, so it is better for him to invest directly.

The sun was setting and the breeze was blowing extra cool. Sitting in the living room, drinking red wine and looking at the beauties, if there were no worries from the outside world, everything would be fine.But Ling Xiao knew that there were some things he couldn't avoid after all, so this was why he secretly bought the private park opposite.

In the private park opposite, Ling Xiao was using the accounts of a company located in the Cayman Islands. The person who came forward to buy the private park was a woman named Katie Holmes. If you check her identity carefully If you do, you will find that she used to be an American soldier, and then retired due to injuries.

Yes, Katie Holmes was a member of Extremis, but she hadn't become one while Killian was alive.Katie became an Extremis soldier after Maya Hansen mastered the complete Extremis virus.

During the Battle of Miami, Ling Xiao quietly rescued Maya Hansen and gave her the complete formula of the Extremis virus he had obtained. In addition, on Air Force One, Ling Xiao also won the Savin.

Of course, both Maya Hansen and Savin were made into Dao soldiers by Ling Xiao who were completely controlled by him, but it was different from the Mirage Thousand Illusions Dao soldiers of Koyama Yuriko and others before, all desperate fighters were trained to become Heavenly Wind and Flame Daoist Soldiers.

With Savin hosting, Ling Xiao quietly gathered a large number of desperate fighters during the Battle of Miami Port, and evacuated a large number of experimental personnel, experimental equipment, and even a large amount of funds that originally belonged to Killian. Ling Xiao quietly embezzled and left.

Afterwards, although S.H.I.E.L.D. was still looking for clues about these hopeless fighters, with Ling Xiao making a move and Mina Downer covering them up, they didn't have to worry about being discovered by others hiding in Los Angeles.

However, staying in Los Angeles for a long time is not a good thing for them. Hiding their whereabouts will always damage morale, so Ling Xiao asked Maya Hansen to send someone to buy Anderson's private park after choosing a place for practice. Come down, 5000 acres of land is enough for them to hide.

Moreover, in order not to attract the attention of others, Ling Xiao not only did not change the name of the park after the change of ownership, but he did not even dismiss any of the park's employees, but transferred their work to the pasture at the foot of the mountain. Soldiers make contact.

In the private park, the Extremis fighters acted in person. Rows of houses were built at the foot of the mountain, but these are all places for them to rest. The real laboratory was built in the mountain. Ability, without using large instruments and equipment at all, a super large cave was established without the knowledge of outsiders.

Although Tony Stark has perfected the equation of Extremis virus, but for the exploration of Extremis virus, this is just the beginning. Extremis virus with stronger power, more stable nature, and easier to be manipulated is these The pursuit of scientific researchers, and it is Maya Hansen who is in charge of all this.

Most of the scientific researchers who are willing to serve Killian are otaku guys. For the sake of scientific research, these people are willing to give up most of their material comforts and stay in a powerful base transformed from port containers. The preliminary development of Extremis virus.

Ling Xiao's ranch has a better environment, and they don't treat them badly in terms of food, drink and enjoyment. The only limitation is that they cannot easily communicate with the outside world, let alone leak their research to the outside world.

The scientific researchers who have experienced the First Battle of Miami Port certainly know the seriousness of the matter. They can't understand the abilities of the Extremis Warrior created by them. No matter where they are hiding, as long as the news leaks, the Extremis Warrior They can be killed anywhere.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, although Ling Xiao did not make these researchers into loyal Dao soldiers, he did some tricks in their minds to ensure that things would not leak in the slightest.

Compared with Killian, in the hands of Ling Xiao, these researchers have never lacked any research funds.

Killian's path is simply wrong. He still thinks of the older generation of researchers, research results, and then sell them to the government or big capitalists. Terrorism, and the vice president's joint attempt to rebel, actually took this path.

Ling Xiao is completely different. His eyes are fixed on the Middle East and North Africa. Desperate soldiers who act as mercenaries or arms dealers are most suitable for that environment, and when they are famous, the heads of state in the Middle East or North Africa Will be genuinely interested in Extremis.

Compared with the U.S. government, or those big local capitalists who eat people and don’t spit out their bones, the heads of state in the Middle East or North Africa are the ones who are really willing to pay big prices. Diamonds, gold, oil, these things are sold internationally. In fact, they are all existences that can withstand hard currency.

Of course, in order to launder these funds, Ling Xiao opened one short company after another in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. After a month, there will always be one or two companies with too much capital going out of business, and their data will be cleared. Now it will be even more difficult to find out.

These funds were finally transferred to the accounts of a forest fire prevention company called Hoffman. Yes, Ling Xiao's cover for the experimental base was this fire prevention company that worked to prevent forest fires and put out fires.

Every year, the U.S. government loses tens of billions of dollars due to wildfires, and in California alone, the annual investment in forest fire prevention and fire fighting reaches billions of dollars, and private fire prevention companies will account for it. A large proportion of the proportion.

Compared with the government's work in disaster relief and fire fighting, private fire protection companies are much more flexible, especially in terms of casualties, the government needs to consider more, while private fire protection salaries are different. Things can work out too.

Moreover, in this world, is there anyone more suitable to be a firefighter than the Extremis Warrior?
