Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 157 Undercurrents surging
Of course they have a reason to do so - the Maxim Cannery fell into the hands of Tang Yan, which greatly reduced the ability of Gem City to earn foreign exchange. The most direct consequence was that they could not buy the scarce grain in the coastal areas. In order to meet the daily needs of the residents, the standard of protection fees had to be increased. This method was used to increase taxes, to replenish the inventory of Gemstone City, and to purchase food products from the Western Union.

Now the people living in the city, especially the bottom-level people who are barely able to gain a foothold, have great opinions on him after learning about this incident.

And those Maxim cannery workers who had contacted earlier, because they had not heard from him for more than a week, were also full of resentment, saying that he had broken his promise.

Xia Xin asked him what he was thinking.

Tang Yan didn't say much, but just found an excuse to fool him.

After sending the two of them back to the office building, his face immediately pulled down.

The person in charge of the tax department of Gemstone City is Wang Ming, and that old man has made a lot of tricks recently.

He hadn't had time to trouble Wang Ming about the telegram, but he didn't expect to encounter such a problem again.

Most Gem City residents are uneducated and don't waste their brain cells thinking about the conflict of interest behind the tax hike.

It is an indisputable fact that Tang Yan took away Maxim's Cannery, which Gem City used to earn foreign exchange. This fact had an obvious negative impact on them, which is obvious to all.

Wang Ming chose to use this matter to make a fuss and raise the protection fee standard, which would definitely deal a big blow to his reputation.

In the past, he wished Wang Ming would do this, because there would be a lot of reward points in his account, but now more than [-]% of the residents of Gem City have contributed reward points of dissatisfied levels. What is needed now is gratitude and trust. Wang Ming's behavior can To be honest, it hit him on the seven inches.

He doesn't believe that the old guy's decision to raise the protection fee standard is forced by the situation, and the negative impact on him is really accidental injury.

"Wang Ming... that guy with glasses, his eyes are really poisonous."

He provided the Allies with 500 potions free of charge, and also promised a batch of canned sea fish.

He rescued many mainland tourists in Teshima and asked them to tell their kindness to the people around them.

He also plans to supply canned sea fish at a reserve price - only the core members of the Pandaren Legion know about this matter, but it is impossible to guarantee that it will not be leaked. After all, mercenaries go to Gem City to have fun from time to time, and they may say anything if they drink too much .

Combining these three things with the recent movements of the Pandaren Legion, Wang Ming must have seen that he was trying to improve his reputation, showing his ambition to become a lord.

Maxim's Cannery is very close to Gem City.

The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Once he has strong economic and military strength and has established a good reputation, he can know what changes will happen to the current situation.

Gemstone City is the cash cow of Wang Ming, Hui Liancai and others, how could it be possible to sit back and watch it come to an end.

Regardless of whether it is military or economic, they have no way to deal with him for the time being, so they can only start by destroying his reputation and try their best to curb the development of Maxim Cannery.

"These old foxes don't have a fuel-efficient lamp."

When he said this, Zang Feng and Gao Kai walked in from the outside, wondering what annoyed Deputy Head Tang who had just gotten married.

Logically speaking, he should be immersed in the honey pot of love and not think about leaving, instead of looking sad like he is now.

Tang Yan did not hide anything and told them what happened in Gem City.

Zang Feng took half a cigarette to digest the relevant information, looked at Tang Yan and said, "What are you going to do? I think it's a good choice to cut the mess quickly."

Tang Yan saw Caiwei from the other side of the suite looking over, he showed a kind smile, got up and walked to the window facing the courtyard, and saw Comrade Jiao flying to the kitchen behind with two buckets of well water.

"Am I that violent? No, I'm not. I'm a peaceful person."

He didn't turn his head, but put one arm behind his back, and looked forward normally.

Is he a peaceful man?Who gave him the courage to describe himself like that?

lie!lie!lie!

No one who knew anything about him would believe such nonsense.

Gao Kai glanced at the calm girl Caiwei in the suite, and thought that maybe only that lady believed that Deputy Head Tang was a peace-loving person.

Based on what Rabbit Hunter knew about Boss Tang, when he spoke in this tone, he probably had already thought of something interesting.

Well, fun for them.

For others, there is a high probability that it will be a sad thing.

………………

After dinner, the sky is full of stars and the moon is like water.

Tang Yan looked at Comrade Jiao sincerely: "I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth."

"No, I can't do that. You have paid a lot for me. I can't just sit back and watch you go so far in order to cater to my ideals. It's not fair."

"There is nothing unfair." Tang Yan said: "Have you forgotten the meaning of the word 'comrade'? Since we are friends and comrades, your ideal is my ideal, and the realization of your ideal is the realization of mine." Ideally, what I lost will be gained from you, which is fair."

"But...but...but..." No matter how intelligent Comrade Jiao is, he can't compare to Deputy Head Tang's sharp tongue. He searched the dictionary and couldn't find a suitable word to reject his arrangement.

"The so-called dedication often means sacrifice." Tang Yan stroked its cold iron shell and said, "I once said that you were never a robot in my eyes, but those sages who cared about the world before the nuclear war They entrusted you with the spirit of serving the people and the future of the wasteland, and you are just like their children. It is my honor to sacrifice for such a friend.”

pat, pat...

The water droplets overflowing from Comrade Jiao's condenser fell to the ground, and strands of smoke came out from the combat suppressor.

"Tang Yan, being able to meet you is the luckiest thing since I woke up."

"Who taught you such nasty words?" Tang Yan patted Comrade Jiao's iron shell: "Then it's settled. I'll make arrangements to send someone to find you later."

After saying this, he turned around and left the production workshop, and walked towards the office building.

The aircraft head who was overhauling the equipment under the conveyor belt and the third son looked at each other for a while, with a dazed expression on their faces.

Comrade Jiao and Deputy Head Tang, which one is more disgusting?

"Is he from the Black Saints?"

Airplane nodded.

"Do you believe what he said?"

"Uh..." The plane head didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.

"Hopefully we don't end up with bald heads with scorpions tattooed on our faces, that would be silly."

"..."

"Not even pandas."

"..."

"Do you think he will do the same to us one day?"

"..."

"Can you jump ship?"

The head of the plane thought for a while and said, "No."

The third young master swore to the sky that he didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between Deputy Head Tang and Comrade Jiao.

………………

In the main courtyard building surrounded by horses, iron sheets, and steel wires, 2KM east of Gemstone City.

The old man in a black leather waistcoat pushed two bottles of Moutai on the table in front of a man in his 30s: "Please take them back, it's my gift to Mr. Sha."

The man used his fingers to remove the dirt stuck to the corner of his upper body, and glanced at the two bottles of wine on the table: "Mr. Hui has a heart."

The old man put down the teacup, let the young maid standing next to him carry the teapot to fill it up, and said "thank you" very politely.

If any Gem City residents saw the scene in front of them, they would definitely cover their mouths and exclaim, which is difficult to understand.

The status of an old man is very precious.

Hui Liancai controls the medicine market in Gemstone City, the umbrella of slave traders, and the financial backer of the black hand mercenary group.

How could a powerful man like him be polite to his servants?

Outsiders may think that he is a person of good conduct because of such small details.If it were someone who knew him well, it might be another feeling, such as horror and fear.

He did not know how many beautiful young girls in the surrounding area of ​​Jewel City were abused by him, and they were given as gifts to the big shots in Jicheng to play with, in exchange for their support for him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sha will definitely support you." The young man stood up, took the felt hat held in both hands by the maid, and lifted the two bottles of wine on the table: "It's getting late, I should go back too."

Hui Liancai straightened his body with his arms propped on the armrest of the seat, and was about to send the young man away.

"Sir, please stay. I can leave alone."

"In that case." Hui Liancai glanced at the two guards standing in front and waved his hands: "You guys give Mr. Zhao a ride for me."

The guard nodded, walked over and pushed open the plain mahogany gate, and went outside to wait for the man surnamed Zhao.

The guest took two steps forward, as if suddenly remembering something, turned to look at Hui Liancai, took off his felt hat and bowed: "I almost forgot, my father asked me to convey his thanks to Mr. Hui, last time The batch I took over was of high quality and tasted very good.”

"Be polite, be polite." Hui Liancai said with a smile: "Without your father's help, I wouldn't be where I am today. A small gift is nothing to worry about."

The man surnamed Zhao nodded, put on his felt hat again, and walked out the door unhurriedly.

The guards led the way in front, and after walking a short distance, there was the sound of metal objects hitting the ground, and there was an extra person beside the man surnamed Zhao.

No, that's not a person, strictly speaking it's a machine.

With a light body and slender limbs, it looks like a human female.

Its face is cleft with a cross, and in the middle is a glowing red five-pointed star.Its left arm is a longsaw construction, and its right arm is a small triple-barreled machine gun.

Raider - a military robot manufactured by Huaxia Ordnance Industry Group.

It is said that the Raider robot is a new type of robot designed and developed by Huaxia Ordnance Industry Group to compete with the Tiewei robot manufactured by Huaxia Nuclear Industry Group. The design idea is derived from the same series of products in the United States.

In that era, the Raider robot was hailed as a model of borrowingism.

The gate of the courtyard opened and closed, and the figure of the man surnamed Zhao and the raider robot disappeared.

Hui Lian retracted his long-sighted gaze, and the expression on his face changed from gentle to stern.

The man surnamed Zhao agreed very readily, but he knew very well that things would never go smoothly.

………………

The light rain is rustling, and the spring is cold.

Tang Yan did not expect that Xia Xin and Cai Yuanhang would come to Maxim's Cannery in the rain.

He didn't show courtesy to the two of them, and let him go to a small living room in the office building, and said straight to the point: "How is the situation?"

Cai Yuanhang unzipped the briefcase, took out a document and handed it to Tang Yan.

He browsed through the various data recorded on it and put it on the table next to the sofa.

"Say it straight, what's wrong with Caiwei's body?"

In the case of Amy entering the palace for the second time, it is of course impossible for him to understand the meaning of the various values ​​on the document.But what is certain is that there are many differences between girls' bodies and ordinary people's bodies.

Cai Yuanhang got up from the sofa and walked around for a while in front of the filing cabinet.

"Let's put it this way, Miss Caiwei's body has been specially modified. The biggest difference from the human body is that she can breathe through the skin to supply the oxygen needed for human survival. To be simpler, um, she is like a frog, which is why Her lung function was less than one-third that of a normal human, and there was no cause of death."

frog?The skin breathes?Pulmonary insufficiency?
Tang Yan finally understood why he put the blanket on Caiwei when he was on the salvage boat, and she would get red-eyed and hot, as if she was about to suffocate.

It turns out that she is different from ordinary people and needs to use the skin for assisted breathing.

No wonder her dress is more revealing compared to ordinary wasteland women, but it is different from the revealing of White Widow, Cai'er, Bao'er, Xiaohong and others.

Cai Yuanhang did not give him more time to think, and continued: "The medical level of Gemstone City is limited, and the above conclusion can only be drawn from her blood and human tissue samples. If conditions permit in the future, I suggest you make one for her. A more comprehensive physical examination."

Tang Yan looked up and stared into his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Cai Yuanhang said: "Although I don't have experience and knowledge in this area, I have reason to suspect that she has more things that are different from ordinary people."

Tang Yan looked down at the black leather shoes on his feet, his face was very ugly.

If the middle-aged man who controls the scorched beast is from the same organization as "Li Yi Ren Zhi Xin", think about the letter that drinks human blood like drinking water, and then think about the half-human, half-machine ritual, and the tall and powerful man who looks like a mutant Suddenly, the uneasiness in his heart grew rapidly.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Judging from the analysis report of the blood sample, Ms. Caiwei's physical condition is very stable. I suggest that you have the conditions to conduct a more comprehensive physical examination, but it is only out of consideration for preventing problems before they happen."

Tang Yan nodded: "Thank you, Dr. Cai."

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

Cai Yuanhang and Xia Xin are good friends, so naturally they will not hide anything about this matter.Knowing that Caiwei will be fine for a while, Tang Yan feels at ease.

After dealing with Caiwei, Tang Yan opened the cabinet in the corner of the room, took out a box and threw it to Xia Xin.

"Follow the plan."
