Chapter 864 Six days until Chen Yan’s return

Chen Yan took out Thomas Gilbert's cigarettes - now Chen Yan's cigarettes - it was a box of cheap William Adams brand cigarettes, the lowest grade D cigarettes among the industrial products of the William Adams Group. According to legend,

Made from the rotten leaves cut from the tobacco fields by the laziest tobacco farmers, the culprit of "smoker's lung", Class D cigarettes smoked only by the lowest gangsters and beggars picking up cigarette butts on the street, are now taken for granted by Chen Yan

handed it out.

Crow glanced sideways at the green mark indicating Class D cigarettes on the cigarette holder. He didn't mind it and opened his mouth.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then he understood and put the cigarette holder in his mouth, and the crow held the cigarette holder in his mouth.

The moment the cigarette holder touched the crow's mouth, synaesthesia occurred, but Chen Yan did not see many clear pictures - this means that the crow is a cautious and defensive person.

Chen Yan lit the fire for him, but he did not cover it with his hands - among smokers, when one person lights a cigarette for another person, in order to show respect, the person being lit usually covers the fire with his hand.

The crow obviously did not make such a move.

He therefore gave an explanation.

"I don't want to touch dirty things with my hands."

After the fireworks are lit, no matter how busy they are, smokers will enjoy the precious few minutes before the cigarette butts burn out.

The way Crow smokes is different from other smokers. He always smokes with his mouth in his mouth and does not use his hands to hold the cigarette. So with his muffled voice, the sparks on the cigarette end flicker, and in the dim medicine house

It looks like a leaping fire butterfly.

"I haven't smoked Lao D for a long time... I remember the first time I smoked Lao D with my brothers, we were still on the boat. At that time, I had only smoked dry cigarettes and had never been exposed to this foreign thing. Holding it in my hand was like holding a treasure.

Yes, each one takes a sip, while smoking and talking about where to make money and live in style after docking, and be happier than the gods." The crow's eyes showed reminiscence, and a faint joy arising from the recollection.

Chen Yan took a puff of cigarette, leaned against the wall and puffed away smoke, and said, "How long have you been in the empire?"

Crow doesn't shy away from this kind of thing. In fact, there is nothing to shy away from: "It's been more than half a year, and I came here before the switch was turned on. Damn it, I was defrauded of a lot of money by the smuggler. I won't have to suffer this for a few months."

."

Chen Yan sneered, and a puff of smoke was sprayed out: "A few months later... A few months later, I still suffered. I came here more than three months ago, and I was still deceived by the smuggler into buying real estate, and I almost lost the money.

It’s clean.”

The crow held a cigarette in his mouth, with a smile of relief and "I understand" on his ugly face, and said vaguely: "Haha, shit."

There was a moment of silence.

The lingering smoke was sucked in by the exhaust fan on the ceiling of the Medicine House. Chen Yan watched the trajectory of the smoke and realized that Crow's Medicine House had modified air ducts, and most of them had some kind of central air conditioner to ensure ventilation and clean air.

.

"I used to know an old guy named Weber. I heard that his son was ill and he was taking medicine from you."

Faced with Chen Yan's sudden inquiry, Wu Yao showed surprise at the benefits. He held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a flick of his breath:

"Well, Weber, the poor old guy was deceived by the cult and his whole family was ruined. His wife and son almost got involved."

He said in a slightly content tone:

"If I hadn't helped him, he would have died long ago."

Chen Yan held the cigarette between his fingers and spoke in an erratic tone:

"I've heard of that cult... I also know that Snake's Kiss Rock can kill bacterial strains, but Snake's Kiss Rock is too expensive and ordinary people can't afford it."

Crow looked at him silently for two seconds, his face turned slightly cold, and he nodded:

"Don't pry. The ones I spent a lot of money on before are gone now."

Chen Yan was noncommittal and continued:

"Weber later obtained the very pure snakeskin rock through some channels, which is probably the top grade on the black market." (Chapter 545 and 546)

Crow frowned and said:

"How is that possible? I've seen the kind you mentioned, which is dug out of the ground and brought directly to the ground. Ordinary people don't have that kind of channel at all. It's not a matter of money or lack of money. Even if you have money, you can't get it.

"

He paused here.

"At that time... before the big parade, the atmosphere in the lower city of Yanan City was already very tense. If Weber really got a stone with such a high purity, it would not be a good thing for him."

Chen Yan took a puff of cigarette and puffed out the smoke and said:

"Webb told me at the beginning that he wanted to use those snake-kissed rocks to pay back the money he owed you." (Chapter 545)

Weber also said that he wanted Chen Yan to help take care of his share of the money.

But until now, Chen Yan has not increased the money.

Crow sneered:

"He owed me a lot of money and never paid it back... I guess he failed to take safety measures when exchanging stones for money and was eaten. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

There is no smell of deception in the air.

Chen Yan said:

"Nothing else, I just want to ask. He and I were friends for a while, and now that he has no news, I have to ask him, both emotionally and rationally."

Crow breathed a sigh of relief:

"Friendship between rivers and lakes is what it should be."

Crow relaxed some of his vigilance towards Chen Yan, because according to what Chen Yan did, the Asians from Tianshen State who were hanging out with the empire were obviously different - he was enforcing some ancient, conventional rules, and those rules were in Tianshen State.

At that time, it was called "Jianghu Friendship" or "Emotions, Reasons, and Justice."

After setting foot on the land of the empire, most people in Tianshenzhou gave up those ancient rules and began to follow the completely different survival rules of the Ruk people. Crow thought this was bad, but in this environment, if he

If you don't follow the same rules, you will be eaten like meat by others.

The crow misses the past because of this.

When he discovered some characteristics of his hometown in Chen Yan, he unconsciously felt close to him, so he said a few more words:

"Don't ask any more about this matter. The power of the cult is getting stronger and stronger, and even the nobles of the House of Lords in Yanan City have become believers.

I was against them at first, but later I couldn't even stay in Yanan City, so I had no choice but to run away and come to the island chain.

But the island chain is no longer safe now. Their speed of spread...

Just like a cold virus.

It's just that the symptoms of cold viruses are obvious after being infected. After being infected by them, you don't even know it. Until one day, when they can use you, symptoms suddenly appear on you. It's like the incubation period in novels that can be controlled artificially.

It’s the same as the zombie virus, very ferocious.”

Chen Yan asked abruptly:

"How do you know I'm not one of them?"

The crow chuckled:

"If you were one of them, you wouldn't even be able to get through the door of Yaolu."

Chen Yan nodded thoughtfully:

"Dealing with them... is quite troublesome."

After the two of them finished smoking, Chen Yan went out to buy food for Ah Wei. When he came back, he fed him one bite at a time, comforted him for a few words, and promised his future treatment before turning around and leaving Crow's Medicine House.

Before leaving Yaolu, Chen Yan said to Crow:

"I do know of an organization that also studies intelligent limbs. It's called the Mechanical Ascension Secret Order. I wonder if you've heard of it."

The crow's face turned ugly.

Chen Yan did not wait for him to speak, nor did he stay longer. After speaking, he left with Swam, who had been guarding outside the medicine house.

Next, Chen Yan found a cafe in Area B of the Mechanical Hive, ordered two cups of coffee for Swarm and himself, and called Klein Justus:

"The previous electronic equipment assembly workshop, I want to know the contact information of the previous set of employees."

After getting the contact information of the former employee from Klein, Chen Yan called Han Ram:

"Boss Han, I would like you to help introduce some practitioners related to electronic information technology and computer technology, preferably those who have worked in front-line laboratories and workshops in Yanan High-tech Zone."

After getting the promise, Chen Yan called Thomas Gilbert:

"Find a few capable guys to help me look at the venue."

Halfway through a cup of coffee.

Chen Yan called Li Shoucheng:

"Uncle Li, I need some money, 3,000 pounds."

"Well, yes, I want it now."

"50% will be calculated as interest, and we will repay it in one month. We will put the boat on board, press fingerprints, and videotape... Well, no problem."
