Chapter 238 Joining the All-Powerful Eye
Su Chen returned after being gone for quite some time.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Captain Shi."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"It's alright, it's alright. As long as Brother Su can come, anything is negotiable!"
Shi Menglei was somewhat flattered and quickly responded.
In the apocalypse, to thrive, you need power and connections.
Of course, you can be as powerful as Su Chen.
Let alone making Shi Menglei wait a while, even if it takes three to five days, it's fine.
"Let's head back to base now! Mengqi, get in the car!"
Su Chen greeted him.
Mengqi darted into the passenger seat in a flash.
Su Chen and the injured Shi Menglei sat in the back row.
Sun Jiancheng started the jeep and drove back to the base.
"I heard you've been taking good care of Jiancheng these past few days?"
Su Chen lit a cigarette and handed it to Shi Menglei.
"Brother Su, you flatter me. I just think Jiancheng is a decent person."
Shi Menglei took a puff and said with a smile.
"There are some things I hope you can pretend not to understand, otherwise, I'm afraid it won't do you any good."
Su Chen revealed a meaningful smile, then took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and stuffed it into Shi Menglei's arms.
The All-Seeing Eye frequently sends soldiers out to search for supplies.
However, the main focus of the search was on essential supplies such as food and medicine.
Goods such as cigarettes and alcohol will not be forcibly requisitioned by the All-Powerful Eye.
These things would end up in the soldiers' pockets.
Therefore, in the eyes of the omnipotent, those high-ranking nobles and priests would exchange supplies with soldiers.
Previously, Shi Menglei had obtained two or three packs of cigarettes from Sun Jiancheng.
After giving it to his superior, he successfully recruited Sun Jiancheng into the guard team.
The pack of Zhonghua cigarettes that Su Chen gave him could at least get him promoted another level!
Holding the cigarettes, Shi Menglei felt as if he were holding a hot potato, unsure of what to do.
If it were before, he would have been overjoyed.
But after hearing Su Chen's words, he felt a little uneasy.
His intuition told him that Su Chen's joining the Omnipotent Eye was probably related to Shi Jinyuan in the prison!
After all, Su Chen and Sun Jiancheng have a good relationship.
Two days ago, Sun Jiancheng had several private conversations with Shi Jinyuan!
Although the identity of Shi Jinyuan is unclear.
But just from the fact that he was captured by a special forces team, you can tell that he is no ordinary person!
Moreover, after being captured, Lin Yuxin even came in person to persuade him to surrender!
Oh no, I'm probably in deep trouble now!
Shi Menglei was on the verge of tears.
He really wanted to report Su Chen and Sun Jiancheng after returning to the base.
But the two men saved his life and gave him a cigarette, so he really couldn't refuse.
"Captain, don't worry, Brother Su won't implicate you!"
Sun Jiancheng saw what Shi Menglei was thinking through the rearview mirror and offered words of comfort.
Shi Menglei gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice,
"Brother Su, whatever you're planning, could you take me with you when you leave?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Captain Shi, you have food and drink here at the All-Powerful Eye, and your status is pretty good. Why do you want to leave?"
"Alas, you don't know, I am so disappointed in Chief Lin!"
Shi Menglei's expression was somewhat complicated.
As the apocalypse arrives, humanity begins to become twisted and dark!
Lin Yuxin led his men to form the All-Powerful Eye, captured survivors, and subjected them to insane brainwashing and brutal exploitation!
On the other hand, he and the powerful and wealthy were all living a life of debauchery and extravagance!
Shi Menglei, who witnessed the whole process, was extremely conflicted!
On the one hand, he needs to rely on the All-Powerful Eye to survive.
On the other hand, he couldn't bear to see ordinary people being exploited!
He was powerless to change anything and could only silently endure it!
Su Chen was somewhat surprised after hearing Shi Menglei's words.
He never expected that Shi Menglei, a member of the All-Powerful Eye, would have such thoughts.
"Okay, I promise you!"
After a moment's thought, Su Chen nodded in agreement.
Shi Menglei is honest, kind but not pedantic, and a veteran of the military. He is exactly the kind of person Su Chen needs!
"Great!"
Shi Menglei breathed a sigh of relief!
Sun Jiancheng, who was driving in front, couldn't help but smile.
Although they hadn't known each other for very long, their friendship was quite deep!
Before long, the jeep returned to the outside of the All-Seeing Eye's base.
After confirming that the vehicle belonged to the base, the gate slowly opened.
As soon as the jeep drove into the base and stopped, a group of soldiers surrounded it.
As is customary, all people returning from outside the area are required to undergo identity verification and health checks.
This is to prevent enemies from infiltrating or anyone from being infected by zombies.
Upon seeing Su Chen, who wasn't wearing a uniform, inside the car, and Meng Qi beside him...
The soldier with the all-seeing eye paused for a moment, then quickly raised his rifle and aimed it at the people inside the jeep.
"Do not impulse!"
Shi Menglei quickly raised his hands and shouted,
“We’re all on the same side. This gentleman isn’t an ordinary person; he’s here to join the chief!”
As the captain of a team, he frequently visited the base, so many people knew him.
After recognizing Shi Menglei, the soldiers relaxed considerably.
Especially upon hearing that Su Chen was no ordinary person, they were even more surprised, and the muzzles of their guns involuntarily lowered.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
A captain respectfully addressed Su Chen.
He then turned and left to report to his superior.
After being reported through multiple levels, Lin Yuxin received the news and rushed over quickly.
He glanced around the vehicle, his gaze not lingering on Shi Menglei and Sun Jiancheng, who were dressed in combat uniforms.
When he saw the young Su Chen and the huge orange cat beside him, his pupils suddenly contracted!
"My name is Lin Yuxin, the leader of the All-Powerful Eye. May I ask your name, sir?"
After Lin Yuxin returned to normal, he greeted everyone with a smile.
"My name is Su Chen. I heard from Captain Shi that Chief Lin is recruiting evolved individuals, so I came here specifically to join him."
Su Chen also introduced himself.
"What are you all standing there for? Put your guns away!"
Lin Yuxin berated the soldiers around him, his smile growing ever brighter.
"I see, Mr. Su, please follow me!"
Su Chen and the others then got out of the jeep.
Because Shi Menglei was injured, Sun Jiancheng first helped him to see a military doctor.
Su Chen, with Meng Qi in tow, followed behind Lin Yuxin and headed deeper into the base.
Unlike soldiers like Shi Jinyuan and Sun Jiancheng, as well as the surviving cattle and horses from the lower levels, Lin Yuxin's dwelling was closest to the ground.
The corridor leading to his residence was bright and clean.
The walls on both sides are also adorned with various famous paintings.
If you didn't know the specifics, you'd think it was a hotel.
