#839 - Chapter 839: Distressed Qin Jin
Inside the leader's office.
Qin Jin stood silently by the window, his unfocused gaze fixed on the snowflakes falling outside.
Contrary to his calm exterior,
his mind was still occupied with the information he had just extracted from the interrogation room!
Intelligence regarding the upcoming life-extension technology at the Fuhai Base—a truly astonishing piece of news!!
After various subtle probes and mentally simulating the events, he concluded that the man's information had a credibility of over fifty percent!!
This was extremely alarming!
This concerned the earth-shattering technology of extending life and regaining youth!
He learned from Captain Xian that the Fuhai Base had already successfully repaired cell telomeres in several animals, such as rejuvenating middle-aged mice back to their youthful state!
It was simply unbelievable!
Although it had only been successfully verified in animals for the time being, a man named Lu Ming from the Fuhai Base laboratory had already made an unprecedented achievement!
In the past, during peacetime, technology at most dabbled in cloning or slowing down the rate of aging in humans and animals.
Qin Jin had never heard of such a complete reversal of aging before.
Watching the snowflakes dance outside the window, his mind raced like a storm.
He had to obtain this technology!!!
Extending life, and possibly opening the door to immortality—who wouldn't be interested!?
Especially for a man like him, who already stood at the apex of power in a region!
Compared to the allure of immortality, things like food, weapons, beauties, power, territory, and even family faded into insignificance!
"How to confirm the authenticity of this technology!?"
"Even if the technology is real, I heard that the Fuhai Base laboratory hasn't perfected it yet, and it hasn't been successfully tested on humans!"
"And how can I ensure that I can safely obtain the technology, as well as other important information such as the evolution fluid and meat detoxification methods!?"
Qin Jin's brows furrowed deeply.
If any other base cadres were present, they would find it incredible.
They had never seen their leader look so troubled.
Neither millions of zombies besieging the city nor the arrival of terrible natural disasters could make Qin Jin's expression change so drastically.
Only such unimaginable and shocking news could make him lose his composure.
He had asked Captain Xian earlier, and the leader of the Fuhai Base was a man everyone called Mr. Wang.
He had heard that he was a successful businessman in Fuhai City long before the apocalypse.
Possessing remarkable skills, he built the ship-like base after the apocalypse, making it a powerful force that stood alone in Fuhai City.
This was definitely not a simple man.
Qin Jin carefully inquired about the Fuhai Base's system, defense settings, personnel situation, number of cadres, and other detailed or general information from Captain Xian.
He ultimately concluded that the Fuhai Base was completely controlled by this Mr. Wang!
Just like Green Source was in his own hands!
This was someone similar to him!
"If you're thinking of attacking the ship-like base with force? I advise you not to do so! We captains have heard that Mr. Wang has set up an unknown security device in the base!"
"As long as he dies, everyone on the ship will be buried with him! So even if he is just an ordinary person, we evolutionaries have to listen to his orders!"
That's what Captain Xian had said during the interrogation.
Qin Jin had almost no doubt!
Because he was that kind of person too!
If he owned such a ship-like base and didn't have absolute personal power or absolute control to suppress everyone, then he would definitely arrange a mechanism to hold everyone hostage.
Just like the Green Source Base's laboratory and multiple ammunition depots.
If one day Green Source was attacked by a powerful enemy and reached an irreversible situation, the important departments of the entire Green Source Base would be completely detonated and sunk deep into the ground!
No one could completely take over the empire he, Qin Jin, had built after defeating him!
No matter how good Old Zhou's relationship was with him, no matter how important or useful Sun Lao and the others were, when they no longer belonged to him, then they should all die!
He never thought of himself as a savior!
Fortunately, Captain Xian suddenly recovered his memory today, otherwise Qin Jin's battle preparations these past two days would have followed the plan to lead most of the Green Source combat troops straight to Fuhai City and turn the ship-like base upside down!
In that case, these technologies that had already been created, or the upcoming life-extension methods, would all be destroyed at the moment he thought he had everything under control!
That leader, Mr. Wang, could definitely do it!
That's why Qin Jin was so distressed at this moment.
Dealing with someone like him was so tricky.
People like them could abandon family, friendship, and everything else that could be destroyed in certain situations, leaving the enemy empty-handed.
It was already December, and the snow would get heavier and heavier.
There were many problems in front of him.
First, he needed to confirm the authenticity of the information Captain Xian had provided.
It was estimated that no one could confirm this.
As for the others, he could roughly learn that the information was not far off from the captives he brought back from Fuhai City yesterday.
The people who had been captured had been dealt with by the interrogation department, and they described the situation in Fuhai City in detail.
The trade of mutated fish meat had indeed become popular there several months ago.
And there were rumors among the survivors there that the armed forces from the Fuhai Base were very powerful, and it was suspected that many of them could only join if they were evolutionaries.
Basically, all of this matched the information interrogated from Captain Xian.
Therefore,
basically, the most important question remained.
Was the life extension technology one hundred percent real!?
If Li Bowen was still in his prime, he might have sent this subordinate and brother with considerable strength to investigate.
Only a strong person with a certain level of strength could escape after obtaining the necessary information.
No!
Not to mention that Bowen was still in a coma.
Even if he really went to confirm the existence of the life extension technology and escaped, he might be noticed by that Mr. Wang!
This man would definitely greatly increase the security level of his secrets after knowing that someone was coveting his treasure, and completely destroy everything when he really encountered an irreversible situation!
Qin Jin himself was such a person!
He closed his eyes and put himself in that position, these things he would do!
And do even more ruthlessly!
What to do!?
How to confirm the authenticity of the technology, and safely bring it out before the other party notices and destroys it!?
Including the talents from the Fuhai Base laboratory, if possible, Qin Jin also hoped to take them all away!
Losing even one would be a loss!
