Chapter 627: Chapter 627 - Military Base

“there are plenty of mutant beasts in japan!” exclaimed jiang liushi, while ying passed by the carcass of another mutant beast. although the sea was china and japan, 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 liushi. 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 liushi, waving his hands casually.

then, he gathered the blue cluster of light, which had reached the size of a watermelon, above his palm. from the size of a fist to its current size, the cluster of blue light had increased thirtyfold. the more energy jiang liushi accumulated, the more things he could do. that kind of energy was like a treasure, which could give jiang liushi continuous surprises.

jiang liushi 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 liushi glared at his sister, and he replied, “stop with your nonsense! inform me immediately if you notice something amiss!”

in fact, the relationship of jiang liushi 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 liushi’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 liushi’s body secreted had diminished, they were all used to taking hot baths together. a lot of water was stored in the hidden storage space, so jiang liushi did not worry about wasting water at all.

“got it!” jiang liushi 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 liushi.

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 sexy and charming.

“nothing. we have to chase after them all the way to tokyo,” replied ran xiyu.

“i see.” jiang liushi nodded and removed his shirt. 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 liushi 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 liushi 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 ship was docked there. the ship had 25 decks, and its length reached about 337 meters. it was humongous!

jiang liushi 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-class aircraft carrier; the most advanced model in the world. as you might know, america has a military base in japan, and this aircraft carrier was carrying out its mission in the asia-pacific region. after the virus outbreak, it was stranded to the port,” explained ye yuekong.

naturally, jiang liushi knew about japan’s crushing defeat back in world war ii, as well as that it was not allowed to form its own army after that. although japan later developed its self-defense forces, it was said that japan basically relied on america’s support to acquire its modern weapons.

america had also established a garrison, known as usag japan, in japan all year round to maintain japan’s national security and counter the civil strife. that led many japanese 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 japan, which aroused the anger of japanese citizens. in this respect, some japanese citizens were still somewhat hostile to americans.

“is this america’s military base?” asked jiang liushi.

“yes!”

jiang liushi 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 liushi 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 warship, 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 liushi.

“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 liushi 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 liushi 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 liushi was moved when he heard that. purchasing mutant nuclei from them was indeed a good idea.
