Chapter 393: Chapter 312 Things After a Foggy Day_2

In addition to the functional modules loaded on the battle suit, whether in pursuit or counter-tracking, one could receive a tremendous boost. Even a combat idiot, once wearing the battle suit, could become a martial arts expert.

By the way, she also mentioned to Zheng Yichen the problematic areas of that kind of battle suit.

The energy system of the battle suit had a significant problem. After analyzing the data, it seemed there was some incompatibility as if it had been deliberately castrated, forcing the development project department to readjust the design flaws and optimize the energy system. Otherwise, Zheng Yichen would have been able to get his optimized battle suit in another couple of days.

As for the data regarding the drugs provided by Zheng Yichen... Chiang Wei’s response was that with those things, Zheng Yichen’s custom-made battle suit would be ’the best’.

From the Dusk Cathedral, Tia hadn’t sent over any information so far, which meant that the Zero Point marketplace hadn’t seen the goods he was looking for yet.

After completing his daily training that day, Zheng Yichen thought everything would just move on. These days, his routine was just too... monotonous. He couldn’t cuddle with girls or take a bath together. At most, he could only look and touch, and then go to sleep. Every day, aside from making his body and mind exhausted, there was nothing else he could do.

With nothing else to do, at most, he could chat with the red dragon, learn some magic-related matters, have the fire dragon recommend some stronger magic to him, and wait for the right opportunity to let it contribute some scales to make some skill modules for him.

Although sometimes Zheng Yichen upgraded his equipment and then had hardly any opportunity to use it, which really frustrated him.

"Do you have time? I need your help with something," Ahn Qi, the elder sister of Ahn Longling, called Zheng Yichen.

This long-haired woman, who looked very much like Ahn Qi, was waiting for him in her car at a station not far from Zheng Yichen’s home. Once Zheng Yichen got in the car, she first glanced at his hair, which had partially turned black in the past few days.

However, it was not from the roots, but one strand at a time turning back, currently leaving his hair a mixed state of black and white.

She handed a file bag to Zheng Yichen, which contained several photos. Zheng Yichen looked through them one by one and showed a puzzled expression, "Is this some kind of Evil God ritual?"

"About that," Ahn Longling nodded, "The incident was discovered the day before yesterday. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Ahn family, but a convoy belonging to the Ahn family got involved, not only was the team wiped out, but the goods were also lost."

"At first, I thought it was a provocation from some competitors, but after investigation, it turned out that this kind of incident had happened several times, with some suffering even greater losses than the Ahn family," Ahn Longling gave a brief on the current situation. She was responsible for the domestic combat troops of the Ahn family; naturally, such matters fell on her to resolve.

And her attainment of this position was not due to her looks; in a very short time, she had managed to gather all the information that could be investigated.

It wasn’t the doing of a family’s competitors indeed, as some of those competitors had also suffered bad luck. As for whether it was done to remove suspicion... it was possible, but according to the investigation, if truly wanting to clear suspicions, there were many ways to do so without resorting to such a self-damaging strategy.

"What were those goods?"

"Weapons," Ahn Longling didn’t hide the fact from Zheng Yichen. His status was quite special at the moment; a few days were enough for many things to happen in the Ahn family, such as Ahn Qi taking out the remaining competitors. The items Zheng Yichen brought this time had strengthened Ahn Qi’s influence significantly.

The fact that Zheng Yichen could deliver those items to Ahn Qi first was also a direct expression of meaning, showing that their relationship was good, their cooperation close, and no one else should bother trying to intervene. And Ahn Qi always had the means to handle situations; otherwise, Zheng Yichen would have already been harassed a few days ago.

But until now, no ’outsiders’ had been able to approach Zheng Yichen; Ahn Qi had not given any ’fair competition’ chance to those competitors. These matters weren’t worth it, nor was there any point in conducting such fair contests. Ahn Qi wanted a fair competition, but Ahn Ke would not agree, nor would he act as her ’assistant’.

As Ahn Qi’s older sister, Ahn Longling would certainly not agree to such fair competition either. If Ahn Qi were really going to pull that stunt, there was nothing more to say; her older sister would ensure Ahn Qi was "dealt with" fairly... It was better to let certain important opportunities fall to her, the biological sister, than to someone else.

"Some of the weapons are currently under experiment, and others are bio-weapons ready for testing. Now, all have been stolen."

"Sounds like you guys have a mole on your side," Zheng Yichen said, looking at the follow-up content in the files. How did the weapons get involved with this evil ritual?

Well, the troublemakers got their hands on the weapons and went straight for some of the special camps near Hazy City. Some of these camps belong to hunters groups, and others are set up by different organizations. What might not be legal elsewhere, is legal in a high incident area like Hazy City.

"At first, I thought so too, but a subsequent investigation showed there was no mole, at least not related to this case," she explained.

So, it means you haven’t found the mole related to this case, but you’ve already caught some placed by other competitors, is that it?

Ahn Longling didn’t take Zheng Yichen to any crime scene; instead, she brought him to Ahn Ke’s lab, where a twisted corpse lay in one of the laboratories.

Zheng Yichen stared at the distorted corpse, parts of its limbs twisted like wrung-out noodles, while other parts seemed swollen. The chest cavity was open, not as if torn from the outside, but as though it burst open from within.

He couldn’t see any internal organs, only some substance resembling preserved eggs, which looked quite elastic but were piled inside the chest cavity, appearing extremely disgusting. This corpse gave Zheng Yichen an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Was this thing squashed by a facehugger bug?

"Does this have something to do with the heavy fog days a few days ago?"

"Pretty much. Every time there’s a foggy day, a series of troublesome follow-ups ensue," Ahn Longling said. She couldn’t be certain this was related to the foggy days until everything was resolved and investigated, but after each occurrence of dense fog, trouble always followed.

Of course, for ordinary people, these tribulations were out of reach. Most of the time, once the weather cleared, life would continue as normal.

However, these troubles often stem from anomalies. When such weather brought many anomalies, some things would come running over.

Normal people might be unaffected, but abnormal... there’s plenty of that as well.

These troubles tend to be taken care of by local forces in Hazy City, be it the official ones or influential local powers like the Ahn family.

The reason they deal with these issues is, besides direct interest, also interest-related. After handling the situation, they could gain official conveniences, business advantages, and the opportunity to legally research, within local regulations, the beings that caused these troubles.

Once something threatens the locality, it doesn’t matter whether they are human or not. There’s no talk of human rights. Another scenario is what’s happening now, where the Ahn family hasn’t found the interest to intervene. The troublemakers destroyed an Ahn family convoy and stole some developed weapons, using those weapons against the locals. This needed to be dealt with promptly, as the aftermath could be significant.

In terms of timing, the incident’s occurrence has a high likelihood of being caused by an anomaly.
