“Hey,

lad, it is a waste to give this old man meat. You might as well give

him some ordinary food. If you want to use the meat in exchange for

ordinary food, we can help you,” the soldier said.

In fact, the

military would not interfere in others’ business, it was actually the

soldier’s greedy personality that he got involved. Although he was not a

paranormal, he would find some meat and then exchange it for some

goods, like cigarettes, with survivors. The military had hoarded many

supplies, but it had little to do with soldiers who fed on wages and

limited monthly necessities. He would live better if he could make some

extra money.

He

had thought his proposal was quite reasonable, but to his surprise,

Jiang Liushi smiled and said, “It was okay. I also have some normal

food. Some of the food I have is going to be wasted, because my

refrigerator can’t fit everything. Waste is the biggest crime. Come with

me and I’ll give you some.”

The food had filled up his

refrigerator, even the MCV’s roof. Hearing Jiang Liushi, the soldier was

speechless. Jiang Liushi’s attitude indicated that the materials he

owned should be plenty. He did not care at all. Even the refrigerator

couldn’t fit all the food, how much food did he own?

[Mutant beast’s meat?!] The old professor was shocked after hearing the soldier.

[That bag contained meat from mutant beasts?] He had thought it was beef jerky!

The

old professor once had seen mutant meat, but it was the first time he

had held it in his hands. Only paranormals had the privilege to eat such

meat, and in the military, it was like hard currency. Meat and

ammunition now were like gold before the end of the world. The old

professor was usually eating coarse grain. He would be lucky enough to

eat a piece of ordinary meat. As for the meat of mutant beasts, he

couldn’t even think about that.

That

old professor looked at the meat. Although he wanted to eat, he did not

stretch his hand out to get it, but waved frantically, “I can’t take

it. It is too precious. I do not deserve that.”

“It’s nothing. Just take it. And I want to ask you something else,” Jiang Liushi said.

The

old professor didn’t answer, but asked back, “What things? I am just an

old man. I don’t think I can be of much help to you.”

“Do you

know where I can find the other metals in Nanjing City?” Jiang Liushi

told him all the other metals he needed. The old professor was a native,

and he was knowledgeable. Maybe he would know something.

The old

professor had heard Jiang Liushi and the soldier’s conversation earlier,

but he didn’t immediately remember where those metal could be found.

Since

Jiang Liushi asked, he racked his brain and tried to recall something,

“We don’t have those metals at the university. Damn my aged mind!” the

old professor murmured.

He thought for a moment, then murmured

about a few places but later shook his head. Suddenly his muddy eyes lit

up, “There is! A new industrial park was built years ago. It was

‘Special Metals Technology Company’, whose headquarter and warehouses

are over there,” he said.

[Warehouses…] Those companies

specialized in the metal market. Their warehouses should have the

materials he wanted, and even more. But iridium was rare, it was

unlikely to find it in the company.

The materials needed to build

the biological laboratory, could not even been found in the military,

but an old professor had helped him to locate them.

“Unfortunately I haven’t been there, so I can’t draw a map,” the old professor regretfully said.

“It’s

okay, I’ll find it by myself,” Jiang Liushi happily said. Now he didn’t

need to issue a list and wait. Everything would be easy since he knew

where to find what he needed.

Jiang Liushi directly gave the meat

to the old professor. The old professor hurriedly took the bag. He

wanted to decline, but the meat’s tempting smell wafted out of the bag

and made his stomach growl.

This embarrassed the old professor. He

looked at Jiang Liushi gratefully and said, “Thank you! Thank you very

much! But this is enough!”

The old professor was wandering every

day, and sometimes he would give some advice to survivors. People saw he

was an old man, so only some good-tempered guys would chat with him,

but would not take his words seriously. As for the bad-tempered ones,

they would shout at him telling him to leave.

The

old professor lived in the camp, and farmed every day. He was too

bored, so that was the way he found to kill some time. He never thought

that he would be rewarded for helping others. Besides his initial

surprise, he was grateful to Jiang Liushi.

For Jiang Liushi,

comparing with the whereabouts of iridium and other metals, the meat was

nothing at all. But as the old professor refused more food, Jiang

Liushi complied with his wish.

The meat was nutritious, and could

be preserved for a period. At least it could give the old man some

vitality, no longer looking as he already had a foot in the grave.

At that moment, Jiang Zhuying called, “Brother! What are you doing? Come and help me.”

“I’m

coming,” Jiang Liushi answered. Jiang Liushi looked back and saw Jiang

Zhuying and her team gathered together at a table, even some other

survivors, in the hall, were standing there.

[They may be

exchanging weapons.] Each time Jiang Zhuying had a hard time deciding,

she would ask for his opinion. It’s nearly a habit.

In fact, she

already knew whether the weapon fitted or not, let alone she yearned for

that weapon so much, thus she must have already analyzed and affirmed

that it was suitable. But she was used to asking Jiang Liushi first.

So immediately, the crowd stepped aside and looked at Jiang Liushi.

Another group of survivors, and the soldier who had just talked to him, looked at Jiang Liushi curiously.

Especially

the soldier, he had thought Jiang Liushi as a new member of the team.

It turned out that Jiang Liushi was the elder brother of Jiang Zhuying?

Their

curiosity was mainly because Jiang Liushi looked like an ordinary

person. Jiang Zhuying’s behavior had to be expected, but how about her

team?

Yang Qingqing and others did not really take Jiang Liushi

seriously at first, but the battle today had showed them that they were

the weak ones, so they made way for Jiang Liushi.

“Check it.”

Jiang Zhuying was holding a long samurai sword in her hands. That

samurai sword was about one and a half meters long.

That samurai

sword looked exactly the same as the one that was being used by Qi

Jiguang [1]. That samurai sword was custom-made for Jiang Zhuying by the

military. She had made a deposit, and now that she had all the meat she

needed, she paid off.

That samurai sword was very different compared to ordinary samurai swords.
