"There are plenty of mutant beasts in j.a.pan!" exclaimed Jiang Lius.h.i.+, while Ying pa.s.sed by the carca.s.s of another mutant beast . Although the sea was China and j.a.pan, the two countries' situation after doomsday differed a lot .
"Brother Jiang, maybe you can find enough level-2 mutant nuclei to help you complete your third evolution, don't you think?" said Li Yuxin gleefully . In her mind, only level-2 and above mutant nuclei were useful to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . After absorbing enough, it was possible that his evolution would be breathtaking .
"I'm not sure, but it's always good to absorb as much as I can," replied Jiang Lius.h.i.+, waving his hands casually .
Then, he gathered the blue cl.u.s.ter of light, which had reached the size of a watermelon, above his palm . From the size of a fist to its current size, the cl.u.s.ter of blue light had increased thirtyfold . The more energy Jiang Lius.h.i.+ acc.u.mulated, the more things he could do . That kind of energy was like a treasure, which could give Jiang Lius.h.i.+ continuous surprises .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ took out the two mutant nuclei he obtained from the Sword Club's warehouse, and Li Yuxin acted promptly . She held Ran Xiyu's hand, and they headed to the bedroom .
When Jiang Zhuying saw them, she said sneeringly, "My dear brother, you should exercise as much as you can, but be aware not to over-exhaust yourself . Hehe!"
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ glared at his sister, and he replied, "Stop with your nonsense! Inform me immediately if you notice something amiss!"
In fact, the relations.h.i.+p of Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and the two girls was no longer a secret . They were becoming more and more comfortable and free . After entering the bedroom, Li Yuxin checked Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s body carefully, confirming that everything was okay . During this period, their intimacy had risen a lot .
"Don't be naughty now . You should absorb the nuclei first . Xiyu has already prepared the water for you," said Li Yuxin .
Although the impurities Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s body secreted had diminished, they were all used to taking hot baths together . A lot of water was stored in the hidden storage s.p.a.ce, so Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not worry about wasting water at all .
"Got it!" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded, and then placed a mutant nucleus between his eyebrows .
"It seems that's impossible for us to chase after Shen Kui for now . Maybe, they used a plane to flee . Xiyu, did you detect anything?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
Currently, Ran Xiyu had taken off her upper clothes, only wearing an umbilical vest because she needed to prepare the water . As a result, she looked quite s.e.xy and charming .
"Nothing . We have to chase after them all the way to Tokyo," replied Ran Xiyu .
"I see . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded and removed his s.h.i.+rt . Then, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation . As he was slowly absorbing the nucleus' energy, perspiration appeared on his body . Li Yuxin, who was by his side, wiped the beads of perspiration gently with a hot towel…
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ woke up early in the morning of the next day . He looked at the two girls sleeping by his side and felt his blood boiling from excitement . He believed that he was the luckiest man alive in this post-apocalyptic world . Having a few girls as companions and fighting for their survival was indeed cool .
He quietly got out of his bed, put on his clothes, and went out . As soon as he walked out of his room, he noticed that the tour bus was parked at the seaside .
Jiang Zhuying was holding her I-pad, watching anime, while Xiang Xuehai was preparing breakfast .
"Where are we?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ while looking out of the window .
He was shocked by the scenery outside . It seemed they were at a seaport, and a huge silver-grey s.h.i.+p was docked there . The s.h.i.+p had 25 decks, and its length reached about 337 meters . It was humongous!
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ observed it carefully, and after a while, he discovered a jet on the top . 'An aircraft carrier?' he thought and took a deep breath . The huge docked aircraft carrier had utterly shocked him .
"It's America's Ford-cla.s.s aircraft carrier; the most advanced model in the world . As you might know, America has a military base in j.a.pan, and this aircraft carrier was carrying out its mission in the AsiPacific region . After the virus outbreak, it was stranded to the port," explained Ye Yuekong .
Naturally, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ knew about j.a.pan's crus.h.i.+ng defeat back in World War II, as well as that it was not allowed to form its own army after that . Although j.a.pan later developed its self-defense forces, it was said that j.a.pan basically relied on America's support to acquire its modern weapons .
America had also established a garrison, known as USAG j.a.pan, in j.a.pan all year round to maintain j.a.pan's national security and counter the civil strife . That led many j.a.panese to rally several times for removal of the American bases and its forces . The prime reason for the rallies was probably due to American soldiers' illegal activities in j.a.pan, which aroused the anger of j.a.panese citizens . In this respect, some j.a.panese citizens were still somewhat hostile to Americans .
"Is this America's military base?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
"Yes!"
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ touched his chin, unable to remove his gaze from the metallic behemoth . That was a 100,000-ton super-maritime monster, which was recognized by the world's military fans as the most expensive and most defensive weapon in the world . In particular, one of the best ones had reached a price of $13 billion .
Of course, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ knew that no matter how good it once was, no advanced aircraft carrier could be sailed after doomsday . It was already complicated enough to sail the ultimate wars.h.i.+p, let alone all complex procedures and needed materials for maintenance . On top of that, without a well-trained crew, the aircraft before them had lost its fighting power .
"At present, is anyone still in the military base?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
"Yes!" Ye Yuekong nodded . "They built a living area nearby and also developed a few fields for agriculture . There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers living here . They're definitely a powerful force . "
"Yeah…" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded .
The army's remnants had enough ammunition, so its combat power was extremely strong . However, they were still weaker than Genesis . Most of the equipment in the army needed maintenance . Moreover, all of Genesis' members possessed peculiar and powerful abilities . For example, they could directly control the actions of ordinary people or mutant beasts . Therefore, those soldiers had no chance of fighting against them .
"Why did we come here?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ again .
"I heard from Miss Zhuying that Captain Jiang needed lots of level-2 mutant nuclei . Although the soldiers in this base are weaker than Genesis' members, they are quite good at hunting mutant beasts . As a result, they possess lots of mutant nuclei . Captain Jiang, you could buy some mutant nuclei from them . "
"Oh?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was moved when he heard that . Purchasing mutant nuclei from them was indeed a good idea .
