Chapter 40: Devil's Transaction

From the outside, Aleste Tepeni was about fifty years old and had deep wrinkles on his face. However, for a man who had been roaming in the wasteland in his early years, he had already been well maintained. The owner of the Tepeni Building was wearing a purple-red coat and sat leisurely on a sofa on the rooftop, with a bottle of red wine in front of him.

"Young man, have we seen it?" Tepenny looked at the young man in front of him curiously. "I always feel that you look familiar... I always find someone of temperament like you. I always can't forget."

Su Jing's eyes flashed over the sniper rifle at Tepenny's hand and said lightly: "It's probably an illusion of memory, Mr. Tepenny, do you know? In fact, your brain is also a very unreliable thing. It may betray you at any time, just like creating hallucinations for you, going against your free will, and forging your memories... In fact, the brain is not reliable at all."

"Hahahahahaha-" Tepenny laughed for a while, then poured himself a glass of red wine, "It sounds like you are...uh...scientists? Few people talk like this, but I have seen a few scientific research people in the early years. In Rivet City, they speak like you, always teaching people knowledge."

"Yes, I'm from the North's Tech Union. It was an organization established by scientists and intellectuals after the war, and I'm an investigator and occasionally do some business and sell it to...uperiors like you."

Tepenny held the glass of wine and gestured to him to continue talking with his eyes.

Su Jing rolled up his sleeves and asked, "That's right. Mr. Tepenny, how old are you this year? How many years do you still have the confidence to live?"

"…………………” Tepenny didn't say anything.

"We have combined technology and have biotechnology that can extend lifespan."

Tepenny twisted the handle of the goblet with his fingers, and his eyes flashed and said in a low voice: "Prove it to me."

Su Jing smiled, then stretched out his right hand and raised it in front of Tepeni. At first, Tepeni didn't see anything, and then he suddenly discovered that Su Jing's nails were growing longer and growing at an extremely fast speed.

"This...it's just fingernails...a little magic..."

Su Jing licked his nails, and then used his nails to cut his bare wrist. The skin was cut open, revealing a thin layer of white fat inside, and then the bright red muscle fibers. There was no drop of blood flowing in the whole process, just like his hand was a prosthetic, but this was not fake. Tepenny could even see the pulsating blood vessels inside and the bright red blood flowing inside. The texture of the muscles was delicate and beautiful, like some perfect biological specimen. Tepenny's eyes became wider and wider, and then Su Jing wiped it with her fingers and the wound closed. At first there was a little thin red scar, but when Su Jing licked it with her tongue, the scar disappeared, leaving only a trace of red marks.

When they grew together, the wounds as deep as two centimeters were brought together out of thin air. Tepenny touched them in disbelief and even tried to tear them apart. They really grew firmly together, just like they were glued with universal glue. Su Jing also moved a few times to show the functionality of his arm as usual.

"Mini injuries of this level can heal quickly, but if it is a more serious injury, it will take more time and sufficient nutrition to recover. But the most valuable value of this biotechnology is not the enhancement of the body's self-healing function, but the perfect elimination of the redundant ends of human cell division, and make people aging-stop. You will always remain in your current state, even rejuvenate, and always be your best person."

Aleste Tepeni was silent, and he asked, "What do you want?"

"I don't want you a penny. Knowledge can only be traded with knowledge." Su Jing smiled, "I want the headquarters address of Eagle Claw Company, as well as the specific location of the Lost Paradise, and all the locations of the refuge you have mastered."

Although Su Jing could not read his mind, he could see that Tepenny's body relaxed, which proved that he did not care about the value of these two messages. Su Jing knew that his trading conditions might be a bit inexplicable, and he also considered whether to let Tepenny vomit more materials, but he finally decided to maintain his sense of mystery - that kind of mystery that makes Tepenny unable to touch his bottom line. He must always maintain a posture that is above Tepenny in order to make the old man treat himself equally and carefully consider his requirements.

He didn't think Tepenny would be so stupid that he could kill him like this. The more exaggerated he acted, the more cautious he would be. Those who could gain a foothold in the aborted capital would not be so stupid, and Tepenny was definitely not a fool.

"I know, this information is not very important to you, so Mr. Tepenny, this is not a loss-making business. This is an opportunity to make money but not lose money." Su Jing took out two needles from the medical bag on his waist, and the bright red liquid was rippling inside.

"There are two reagents here, one for you to do safety testing. Just find an animal or a human. You can test the effect. If you feel satisfied, you can use the second reagent for yourself. Intravenous injection will take effect within half an hour."

Tepenny thought for a while, took a piece of paper and wrote a few lines of words. Su Jing pulled her sleeves back, watched the brush in his hand move, and said softly:

"Please note, Mr. Tepenny. This is a product of the technology alliance. If I find that there is a problem with the address you gave, then I have the right and ability to take back the transaction. At that time, I think our relationship may not be as pleasant as it is now."

Tepenny laughed dryly, then added two more lines of words, and then handed the note to Su Jing.

"Happy cooperation, Mr. Tepeni." Su Jing shook hands with him.

After Su Jing left, he heard the jingle of the elevator. Tepeni let out a long sigh, then reached out and snapped his fingers. The security captain Gustavo pushed the door and asked:

"Sir, is there any problem with this person?"

"Problem? Of course this person has a problem!" Tepenny looked at the syringe on the table carefully. The liquid inside was flowing like life, as seductive as a curse. He swallowed, felt a little dry, and then picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Do you want me to kill him? Mr. Tepeni." Gustavo took out his walkie-talkie, "As long as you give me a command now, the people below can surround him here, and even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't get out of here..."

"No...no need. Don't take too much risk. We are business, not robbers." Tepenny stroked his sniper rifle, his eyes flashing with a hint of fear. "I remember where I had seen him... When he performed that trick for me, I remembered... He was obviously shot by me and fell to the ground..."

"Then can't these two things be used?" Gustavo walked over and tried to reach out to pick up the needle, but was pressed by Tepenny. The security captain then realized and said a little embarrassedly: "No intention to offend, Mr. Tepenny."

"It's okay, Gustavo, it's okay." Tepeni picked up the syringe and stroked the needle cover on it. "A guy who can't even die of a sniper rifle hit the head... I began to believe in the authenticity of this thing. The United Technology in the North? Have I heard the name of this force somewhere?"

————————————

Su Jing is in a good mood now. He used the microorganisms boarding FEV virus to mix his blood and tricked him into the address he wanted. To be honest, it would be easier and faster to get the answer with violence, but he thought it would be unfunny.

He could slaughter the entire Tepeni Building, hammer all the mercenaries into meat sauce, then carry Tepeni's collar and let him spit out all the information, and then let go of his hand, allowing this racially discriminatory and murderous bitch to fall freely from the twelve floors and fall into a mess. This might make him feel more relaxed and more fun, but he doesn't like this, he likes more dramatic development.

So he gave the FEV virus to Tepeni. This is his improved virus type. The initial injection of this virus will not make people's skin turn green, but will only make people have stronger self-healing ability, just like a constant therapeutic needle, stimulating the vitality of the human body to accelerate bleeding, healing, and even briefly - restoring youth. In addition, it is like the original FEV virus, which can slightly enhance the body's muscle strength and bone hardness. If Tepeni injected himself with that injection, then he will definitely be very happy... in the first few days.

Then the FEV virus will begin to invade the subject's somatic cells, which can slowly absorb the ubiquitous radiation energy in the waste. It is hidden in every cloud, every breeze, and even every glass of water Tepenny drinks and every slice of steak he eats. So for up to three weeks, Tepenny will find that his muscles are becoming increasingly deformed, and the color of his skin begins to change... Finally, he will become a species he once despised the most, a mutant mutant, and a part of the largest pest beast population on the wasteland.

Su Jing was looking forward to that scene. After he finished what he should have done, he would come back to watch the end of the drama.

And his next goal is one of the most dangerous places in the wilderness: Lost Paradise. It is the general base of slave traders in the abolition, a place where the most vicious scum and shameless bitches gather in the world. If you use moral standards to make a map of the abolition city... it must be the entrance to the eighteen levels of hell.

Before he knew it, even Su Jing himself did not realize that since he intervened in this world, he had placed himself in a transcendent position, calmly looking down at everyone in the wasteland, and trying to manipulate and change their destiny.
