Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 116 It's not genes, it's methamphetamine

The Flower City Banshee.

When Xie Liu said this name, Chen Jian's long-lost memory suddenly became clear again.

He still remembered the first time he heard this word, which was in the Blood Skull camp.

At that time, they had just killed the leader of the Terror Demons, General Blood Sun. In the basement, they found two Flower City Banshees mixed with Blood Skeletons.

At that time, everyone was still wondering whether this suddenly "mutated" Huadu had some shameful deal with the Blood Skull, but because this little accident did not affect Chen Jian's subsequent actions, he did not take this episode to heart.

But no one expected that after so many battles and so many things happened, this term suddenly revived.

People from Huadu are actually active near Wuxue Town?
what are they doing?
Chen Jian looked at Xie Liu with confusion, and the latter was also confused.

She only tentatively determined that the smell came from the Flora Siren, but asked her why.
Where does she know where to go?

Seeing that Chen Jian's expression became a little serious, she immediately said:
"I'm sure the smell comes from the Flora Siren."

"This smell is very special. I have noticed this smell when I went to Huadu before."

"The whole city is shrouded in this faint smell. I asked the people who live there, and they said it was some kind of blessing from life itself."

"I once suspected that this was some kind of aphrodisiac gas, but it turned out not to be."

"This smell itself does not make people desire, but it seems to be emitted from those who have already generated desire"

"Can genes even change this?"

Chen Jian asked in astonishment.

Before Xie Liu could answer, He Shuo at the side interrupted:

"Maybe it's not genetics, it's methamphetamine."

"what?"

Chen Jian was stunned.

He Shuo coughed and continued:

"Have you forgotten? When we were in Xiaomengla that year, many people there had a strange smell on them."

"But the smell of people who smoke marijuana is oily and rusty. How can I not smell this? Didn't Zeng Yi say it was a floral scent? Aren't the two very different?"

Chen Jian retorted.

"That's not necessarily true. Who says they use high-purity ice? Maybe there's something else mixed in it."

"Of course, I'm just speculating."

He Shuo paused, then continued:

"Look, according to what Xie Liu said before, flowers all fall suddenly, and the whole process should take a short time, right?"

"Yes, it's very short."

Xie Liu answered affirmatively:

"It should be within five or six years. The whole city will fall quickly as if it were infected by the plague."

"Yeah."

He Shuo spread his hands and continued:
"Then, this depraved trend is lust."

"So what's the most obvious characteristic of smoking this thing? Do I need to tell you?"

"The people in Huadu clearly have crazy characteristics, and coupled with their inflated desires, this behavior is simply too obvious."

"Moreover, in stark contrast to their depravity, they can still maintain a fairly high level of combat effectiveness. Don't you think this is too exaggerated?"

"We thought it might be related to their equipment, but now it seems that the equipment is still not enough. I am afraid that drugs may also be involved."

After He Shuo finished his analysis, Chen Jian was stunned.

He could never have imagined that even at the end of the world, he would still have an intersection with this thing.

But is this really so incredible?
It seems that there is none.
The synthesis of methamphetamine is not that difficult. Even Walter White can do it with a broken car.

If someone accidentally discovered its formula and then further discovered its effects
Its large-scale abuse is also completely logical.

Because according to Xie Liu, the Flower City, or the former Spring City, originally had the shadow of fertility worship.

This kind of thing that can stimulate reproductive behavior may really become their "magic drug".
-
But there is a loophole in this speculation.

"It is impossible for this family to take drugs without being discovered. According to Zhao He, they were normal before they died."

"And once they touch that thing, they can't be normal anymore."

"Captain, you don't understand."

He Shuo shook his head and replied:
"The person who touched that thing might not be a resident here."

"It's the monster."

Enlightenment.

Chen Jian suddenly felt that many of the mysteries here had been explained.

"So this monster is probably related to Huadu?"

"Is it possible that this monster was 'cultivated' by them?"

"They can deliver weapons to the Blood Skeletons near Hanshui City. It seems reasonable to raise a monster here, right?"

"It's possible." He Shuo frowned and replied:

"If these smells are indeed the residue from taking some kind of drug, then Huadu is very likely trying to use this thing to control monsters and humans."

"This probably explains why they are working with the Blood Skull. It's probably because they think they have mastered the method of controlling the Blood Skull."

"But what I don't understand is why they let this monster attack Wuxue Town?"

"The experiment isn't over yet, there's no reason for them to do this."

"That's another question. At least we have an idea now."

Chen Jian let out a long sigh, while Xie Liu on the side was stunned.

She didn't even understand how the reasoning for all this worked out.

From her perspective, so far, they have only found two relatively credible clues in the entire "monster murder case."

First, monsters are human.

Second, there is a scent from the city of flowers here.

With just these two clues, you were able to piece together the fragmentary information and finally form such a reasonable conclusion?

She looked at He Shuo and Chen Jian who were discussing something, and her eyes were already filled with a sense of "looking up to the mountains".

Chen Jian noticed her look, so he raised his hand to interrupt He Shuo and said to Xie Liu:

"You don't have to be so surprised."

"Everything at this point is speculation, just a rough determination based on existing conditions."

"In fact, none of us can guarantee that this speculation is correct, because the intelligence is updated in real time."

"But you can certainly learn this kind of thinking."

"On the battlefield, making a quick decision is actually more important than the accuracy of intelligence."

"clear."

"clear."

Zeng Yi and Xie Liu answered one after another. Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction. After a little thought, he spoke again:
"If we follow this logic, then our search scope will be further narrowed."

"Mayor Zhao, have any merchants from Huadu come to Wuxue Town in the past few months?"

"No - no, it's not that there isn't, it's that even if there is, we don't know it."

Zhao He quickly replied:
"The reputation of Huadu has not been very good in recent years, and many people avoid them."

"Under such circumstances, even if there are businessmen who come and go, they will not take the initiative to mention this name."

“Of course we won’t ask deliberately.”

"So there is?"

Chen Jian interrupted Zhao He and asked.

".I think there should be."

"That's good."

Chen Jian turned to He Shuo and continued:
"The drone continues its reconnaissance."

"If this monster is related to Huadu, then someone must be responsible for it."

"That is to say, this monster cannot live alone. Instead, it is possible that a small settlement has formed around it."

"Just like what the Mechanicus did to tame the Mongols, Huadu must also have a complete system to control and train monsters."

"The scale is not too small. If they are near Wushan Lake, it should not be difficult to find them."

"clear."

He Shuo nodded immediately, and then Chen Jian continued:
"On the other hand, we need to conduct a check on the merchants coming and going here."

"To train monsters, they will definitely need supplies, and the most convenient way to get supplies is through merchants."

"They probably won't go directly to Wushan Lake with their belongings in a big way. After all, it's in the wild and it would be too conspicuous."

"However, if someone shows up here but not at the next stop, then we can basically identify the target of the investigation."

".It's hard."

He Shuo spread his hands and said:
"There are no ID cards or surveillance in this world. Isn't it too much to investigate in this direction?"

"Let's try it."

Chen Jian said indifferently:

"Anyway, if the drones don't produce any results, we can only wait here for the next attack to happen."

"In this case, why not do more things and try different directions?"

"By the way, we need to contact Wang Lizi from the Yuanhuan Chamber of Commerce."

"The development of the situation has exceeded our expectations. This is not just a monster. It is possible that a very powerful force is involved."

"We have to ask him to bring up the contract price to me."

"Otherwise, I won't work for him in vain!"
