Chapter 410: Chapter 408: Legal Investigation

2119, July.

Leng Kai was riding in a jeep, bouncing along the muddy terrain of the southern East Continent, within the territory of Chicken Snake Country.

War had changed.

The guide drove the car, warning him not to stare at the government soldiers—they were superpower lunatics now. One wrong glance and they would torment you with their abilities.

"Over a decade ago we had a civil war here too, where we could only dodge bullets, but now the streets are full of soldiers with superpowers, and ordinary people don’t dare to go out," the guide said.

"I heard that back in 2106, one of your cities suddenly disappeared?" Leng Kai said.

"Yes, the officials locked down the information. So many people died for nothing. I suspect it was the handiwork of the Sethiyan Federation’s Superpower Special Forces; they do whatever they want without consequence," the guide explained.

"Wuliang City?" Leng Kai said.

"Yeah, that’s how I lost my wife. That’s why I hate the Superpower Special Forces," the guide said.

No wonder, after losing his loved one, this man had chosen to become a guide to help them investigate the illegal superpower drug, Black Medicine.

At that moment, his phone vibrated and Price’s face appeared on his AR glasses.

"I’m Price, Kai, can you hear me?" Price said.

"I am on my way to the site under the guide’s lead. The meat processing factory is not far now," Leng Kai said.

"Your partner has already arrived," Price said.

"Partner? I wasn’t informed I had a partner," Leng Kai said.

The vehicle stopped on the roadside; on a scorching summer day, steam rising from the ground distorted the view of the meat processing factory ahead. A woman with a ponytail stood at the entrance, negotiating with some government soldiers.

Leng Kai got out of the car and joined the negotiation.

The woman was in her twenties, fairly young, with a sturdy build, wearing a black crop top revealing a trace of defined abs, and blue denim shorts with a black T-shirt tied around her waist. Her skin had been tanned bronze by the local sun, and sweat dampened the neckline of her top.

"We need to search you," the government soldiers said with a smirk.

"Search what? I am an official from the United Council Army system!" the woman snapped.

"What’s going on?" Leng Kai said.

At this, everyone turned to look at him.

"You’re Leng Kai?" the woman said with a smile.

Leng Kai nodded, pulled out his identification, and showed it to everyone, saying, "We have legally authorized firearm permits from your government."

The government soldiers smirked, their eyes gleaming strangely.

The next second, Leng Kai punched one of them; he staggered backward and fell to the ground.

Then Leng Kai quickly drew his pistol and aimed it at another man’s head, and the woman instantly drew her gun too, aiming at the waist of a government soldier on her right.

These government soldiers cursed loudly in Chicken Snake language, as several AN94s were aimed at both of them.

"If the superpowers you’re using are illegal, you’re coming with us," Leng Kai said.

There was a standoff in front of the meat factory when a piercing scream came from across the street.

An officer walked over, gesturing for everyone to put down their weapons, then smiled and said, "Misunderstanding."

"We are from the United Council here to conduct a legal inspection of the meat factory. We suspect illegal production of Black Medicine here," Leng Kai said.

It might sound foolish to say it that way, but as law enforcers, that was the only choice.

Even if the other party had set up an ambush below, they had to break through personally.

Price’s team would provide support at the second site should the situation escalate, and they also had authorization to fire. There really wasn’t much to fear.

The officer nodded, and Leng Kai and the woman walked into the meat factory.

A pungent smell of raw grease and blood hit them as mosquitoes and flies freely buzzed around in the slaughterhouse.

"That move you pulled earlier was pretty cool," the woman said with a smile.

"If you don’t stand your ground, they will push you even further. By the way, what’s your name?" Leng Kai asked.

"My name is Wang Mingxue." She reached out her hand to Leng Kai.

They shook hands, both feeling the calluses on each other’s palms.

"Which unit were you in before?" Leng Kai asked.

"Tech soldier, but I preferred field assault," Wang Mingxue replied.

"This line of work is very dangerous for a woman," Leng Kai remarked.

"I’m much stronger than the average man," Wang Mingxue boasted.

"Alright, I feel they won’t let us inspect quietly, look..." Leng Kai said, his gaze sweeping over the workers around them.

The workers were all keeping their heads down, but every now and then, they sneakily glanced at them, their expressions sinister.

"Where do you think it is hidden?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"Look at this meat, it’s all rotten," Leng Kai whispered.

On the conveyor belt, the pig thighs were somewhat blackened, yet the workers still labeled them and packed them into boxes.

"Hidden in the meat?" Wang Mingxue guessed.

"My guess is so, but it’s not produced here," Leng Kai replied.

They looked towards both sides of the factory where there was a staircase going downwards on each wall.

As they approached the staircase, they saw two shirtless workers sweating profusely as they came up, made eye contact with them, and then moved away.

There was a strange odor coming from these two men.

Leng Kai glanced at Wang Mingxue, and they both walked down the stairs, where the air felt as hot as fire.

They reached the bottom and were met with a vast area of processing facilities, where numerous shirtless workers were bottling ’Black Medicine.’

"Son of a bitch," he muttered.

Everyone looked at them, and in an instant, the noise of people stopped, leaving only the sound of machinery and glass bottles clinking.

Wang Mingxue turned back to see the staircase crowded with knife-wielding workers, their expressions cruel.

After a brief silence, everyone rushed towards them.

"Price, we’ve got trouble!" Leng Kai shouted.

He quickly pulled out his pistol and shot down two people on the stairs, then ran towards another staircase exit.

Wang Mingxue also pulled out her pistol and provided suppressive fire on the workers, bullets shattering the Black Medicine embassy, black liquid spilling everywhere.

"They have some nerve!" Wang Mingxue exclaimed.

"We’re not exactly timid ourselves," Leng Kai said.

He kicked one of the knife-wielding men, fired his last four bullets, quickly reloaded, then dashed up the stairs, Wang Mingxue following him. At that moment, gunfire from an AN94 rang out in the hall.

Bullets brushed past his scalp, smashing a large chunk of pork.

"Damn assault rifle," Leng Kai quickly ducked behind the conveyor belt, while workers from beneath the stairs charged up, shouting wildly.

Just then, a four-wheeled off-road vehicle smashed through the main entrance, Soap standing at the gunner’s position, firing a PKM light machine gun at everyone in the hall.

Price, along with Gates and Ghost, rushed to their position.

"Continue," Ghost said.

He threw two ICRs to Leng Kai and Wang Mingxue.

They immediately took position and started firing at the knife-wielders, bullets hitting exposed flesh and creating blooms of death.

"What’s the situation below?!" Price asked.

"Blow it all up!" Leng Kai replied.
