Above Destiny

Chapter 249 Begging for Food to Support the Family
"Hmm? You're being punished so soon?"

Ji Jue raised his eyebrows and suggested sincerely: "Why don't you think about such a serious matter carefully? Give it a try, maybe this thing is just a showpiece."

"No, no, no."

Yue Ting lay on the ground, not daring to move, and smiled flatteringly: "The account books are all on my phone, and the information is all in the network disk. It's an anonymous account at Yongji Bank, and the password is four zeros and two ones..."

"Tsk."

Ji Jue's face suddenly fell.

Another person who was given an opportunity but failed to make use of it.

He waved his hand, and suddenly, the calf-horse raised its other giant arm and aimed the gun. Amidst a loud bang, the bullet casings flew up and mercury spurted out, transforming into thin straps in mid-air. After packing everything from beginning to end, he fished out a rotten rag that had been soaked for who knows how long from the sewer, stuffed it into his mouth, and threw it into the cargo compartment at the back.

In the open cargo compartment, another Chosen One who was humming in vain looked up subconsciously and saw another companion being brought in.

Their eyes met, showing a bit of surprise, a bit of surprise, and a bit of sadness, but no one else knew.

After waiting for more than ten minutes and making sure that no one else ran out from this side, Ji Jue put away the folding chair, drove into the warehouse from the main entrance, and saw the mess and the dying desperadoes.

Well, that's progress!
At least there are still a few who are not dead!

It seems that my teaching is quite effective!
"Brother Ji Jue, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao An, who was waiting there, smiled and waved.

"Small question, where's the stuff?"

Ji Jue poked his head out.

Xiao An raised his hand and pointed. Only the upper half of the young disaster beast was left in the cage. It was now pretending to be dead with its eyes closed and trembling.

"Wow, these smugglers are becoming more and more open-minded."

After Ji Jue looked at the insignificant young beast of disaster, his eyes swept over the huge boxes and he walked straight to the middle. He knocked, but there was an empty sound coming from inside.

The wires are still plugged in.

After prying the door open, a cold air rushed in my face.

In the cold storage, the limbs and internal organs lying in the foam boxes appeared before his eyes. Ji Jue reached out his hand without changing his expression, picked up an arm and took a look, and immediately understood.

"Artificial organs and limbs?"

Ji Jue said: "There are illegal enhancements inside... It seems that there is a vortex clone farm behind it."

"No, I don't know!"

Yue Ting, who was dragged out of the cargo box by the calf horse, finally spat out the rag in his mouth and kept shouting: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I just collected the money and was responsible for the transportation. These things are also for medical purposes, purely for medical purposes!"

After learning that the visitor was not a gang but a member of the Security Bureau, he actually perked up and dared to fight back and seek justice.

"It's for medical use. Can bones be metallized? Muscles, um, the density has also increased a lot." Ji Jue laughed mockingly and raised the wrist of the limb: "It has the military logo on it. Tell me who it is used for medical treatment?"

"This... we are just transporting, transporting." Yue Ting forced a smile with difficulty: "It's a little bit illegal, but..."

"What about this?"

Ji Jue swung the limb in his hand and pointed it at the young disaster beast pretending to be dead in the cage.

"Watch, watch! This is a special request from the customer, for viewing animals!" After Yue Ting started, things became smoother and smoother, with tears in his eyes: "We have special transport certificates, sir! Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings... I am also from Yacheng, I have made contributions to Haizhou, I have shed blood for Yacheng, I want to see the customs, I want..."

Seeing Ji Jue smiling and showing no emotion at all, he suddenly got stuck.

He swallowed his saliva and wisely swallowed the name of his backer.
"My two brothers, I know the rules. I know them all!"

He shivered twice, stepped forward, and forced out a flattering smile: "We are blind and have polluted the precious land in front of Beishan District. I will pay the money, I will pay it, I will definitely pay it! We accept the punishment..."

Seeing him being so reasonable, Ji Jue's smile suddenly showed a hint of warmth. He stroked the dog's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, you have to pay the money. Let's go through the process. Don't be afraid. Haizhou is fair and innocent. How can we let innocent victims bleed and cry, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, that's right!"

Yue Ting stared, shouted loudly, swallowed all the dirty words in his heart, and cooperated with Ji Jue's plot. But then, he saw Ji Jue's hand touching the metal box next to him.

Gently, patted it.

In the hollow echo, Ji Jue said slowly: "It's just that I think this box is not ordinary..."

At that moment, Yue Ting's expression suddenly changed.

Pale white.

"Generally speaking, an aluminum alloy box of this size shouldn't be this heavy."

Ji Jue's fingers bounced up and down, hitting the edge of the box. The crisp sound spread, and Yue Ting's face gradually turned pale: "The echo is light and the vibration is fine. The sound, touch, density, and quality are all wrong."

He paused and asked expressionlessly:
"——What you actually smuggled out was Shoushan Copper, right?"

Mountain copper, Shoushan copper.

The difference of one letter actually means two completely different metal materials.

Mountain copper is nothing more than a spiritual conductor that can increase the toughness and strength of the material itself several times through complex smelting. Although it is expensive, it can still be found everywhere and is not rare.

But Shoushan Copper is different.

Due to its unparalleled special properties, all areas in the Federation that can produce Shoushan Copper are now under the strict control of Central City. The only mineral vein in Haizhou is right next to the Haizhou garrison headquarters.

The entry and exit verification is so strict that even the grooves have to be opened to see clearly.

In addition to its superior performance over ordinary materials, it can also perfectly adapt to most blessings of the Supreme Good, withstand more than nine repeated processing by craftsmen, and maintain the special effects imparted during each processing.

Because of this, it is used to make reaction chambers and precision components of top-level power armor. All models that can use it are real weapons that can make the final decision among thousands of troops on the front battlefield.

Absolutely strategic materials.

And if even a little bit is leaked, countless people and their entire families will die on the chain.

"I'm not saying that this kind of smelting method... I think they found an apprentice, um, no, they should have done it this way on purpose, right?"

Ji Jue knocked on the iron sheet of the box and commented contemptuously.

If the smelting method was better, Ji Jue wouldn't have noticed something was wrong through the layer of paint. But it was because of this incomplete smelting that the reaction between Shoushan Copper and other metals was avoided to the greatest extent.

The temperature is carefully controlled and stopped at the critical point of the reaction to ensure the integrity of its properties.

Unfortunately, the level is still average, which only covers up the weakness of the smelter himself who is not good at extraction and transformation.

It can be seen that the level of the receiver is also average.

Otherwise, even if it is melted into an alloy, it should be possible to replace it through other means after the reaction is completed.

If you calculate the weight of these two boxes, it is enough for this guy to commit suicide with a nuclear explosion in prison like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

But how deep is the water behind this...

Things are getting a little troublesome.

I was just helping out with the hunting, why do so many things always happen?

Ji Jue thought about it, ignored Yue Ting's whimpering, stretched out his hand and pointed, wrapped a few more layers of mercury bandages around his mouth, walked out of the warehouse and made a phone call.

Half an hour later, two trucks came roaring in and stopped in front of the door.

After confirming their identities, the well-dressed men started moving all the things at the scene into the car without saying a word. As for those desperadoes who deserved to be killed, they were sent on their way without even a chance to say a word.

At the same time, the original arrest operation in Beishan District was completely deleted from the records of the Yacheng Security Bureau.

"Oh, Xiaoji did a good job this time."

Lao Zhang, who came with the car, patted his shoulder and smiled, "Luckily you are here, otherwise, if I took these things back, I would have to work overtime this month."

After learning the whole story, even Lao Zhang, who was lying on the sofa in the branch office, was shocked. How could there be so many traps when investigating a smuggler? !

He was scared.

It’s not that I’m afraid of just a bunch of smugglers, but the various monsters and demons that have sprung up in Yacheng in the past two days like mushrooms after rain. Even if we only talk about smuggling, compared with the guy who loaded several ships with pollutants and hauled them out last time, this is nothing!
The eventful autumn is over, but winter is not without its troubles.

Based on his experience of slacking off for so many years, he can only say: Don't worry, where have we reached yet? I'm afraid the big things are still to come!
"The situation has been a little strange lately, so you have to be careful."

Old Zhang sighed, looked at the two boxes being loaded into the car, and shook his head helplessly.

Ji Jue smiled and nodded.

Then... he stuffed the Shoushan copper ingot that he had just pulled out of his pocket a little deeper.

As the saying goes, "When a goose passes by, you pluck its feathers." It's rare to come across material that is delivered to your doorstep, so how can you just watch it slip away?
If you don’t take it and I don’t take it, how can Commissioner Tong take it?
If Commissioner Tong doesn’t take it, how can we all make progress?
Besides, Tong Zhiwu had already hinted on the phone that there was no action, no smuggling, no boxes, and no Shoushan copper.

Even if we take them back, they will have to be destroyed. For the sake of the current stability, not a single hair from these two boxes can be left in this world.

Even if the bomb is going to explode, it can't explode in this small area of ​​Yacheng.

Love wherever you are!
"Does this count as working for the Tong family?" Old Zhang sighed during the casual conversation.

"We are all friends, we are just helping each other, it's not a big deal."

Ji Jue shook his head nonchalantly, "Besides, I'm just an apprentice and don't even have a craftsman's certificate. Why should I get involved in all that mess?"

Lao Zhang's smile suddenly became more relieved.

Children can be taught.

Make money when you can and put troubles aside. This is the principle of life.

So what if the Tong family is rich?

The further away the trouble is, the better.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot."

He patted his bald forehead and said, "Congratulations on moving into a new home!"

"Don't laugh at me."

Ji Jue sighed, "It's just that the basement at home was full and there was no room for us to do anything, so we built a small workshop. We just moved in and haven't packed anything yet.

Once everything is cleaned up, let's have a drink to celebrate."

"Then you have to do it sooner. Xiao Wen has been sober for almost a week this time. I think she can't bear it anymore."

The two of them burst into laughter.

After carefully checking the scene to make sure nothing was missing, Lao Zhang also checked Ji Jue's body before leaving.

After making sure he had almost recovered and had no sequelae, he gave him a couple of useless words of advice, "Get more rest," and then left.

Before leaving, he just said that after his studio is officially moved, everyone in Beishan District will have gifts for you.

This made Ji Jue feel itchy.

Unfortunately, Xiao An kept his mouth shut this time and no matter how I asked, I couldn't get any answers. He started to avoid my gaze when I asked him again.

"Is this true? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Ji Jue scratched his head.

He was scared.

The last time someone suddenly gave him a gift, he still hasn't recovered from it...

Xiao An blinked and said pitifully: "Sister Wen won't let me say it."

"Alright, alright."

Ji Jue sighed, stepped on the brakes, dropped the kid off at the entrance of the game hall, and watched him walk away before turning around and walking all the way to the outskirts of Beishan District.

Another warehouse area by the sea.

Next to Professor Ye’s workshop, just a few hundred meters away, is an old two-story building.

The housing prices in Yacheng have completely collapsed since the sea-burning incident ten years ago. A single-family house by the sea that was originally built at a high price has been ignored for many years.

After returning to Yacheng, the various wages, allowances and subsidies that Tong Zhiwu received were enough to buy ten such old buildings with full decoration. Ji Jue was rarely generous, so he waved his hand... After bargaining with the original owner for two hours, he got the full price at a 30% discount on the originally pitiful amount.

After four or five days of renovation, the room is now filled with all kinds of things that have not been cleaned up yet, and it is a mess.

There were scraps from Quancheng, recycled materials, several lathes and milling machines that had passed through who knows how many hands, and the sundries that had originally piled up in the basement.

They're all in boxes, piled up in a mess, and haven't been tidied up yet.

After Ji Jue closed the door with his bag, he made sure that the outer layer of spiritual energy was sealed off intact and no one had come in before he left, so he went straight to the basement.

Compared to the area upstairs, the basement here is surprisingly spacious, and it has an alchemical furnace that he dug out from the ruins of Quancheng.

Ignoring the almost non-existent supporting facilities, one can almost say that this is a workshop.

It's a pity that there's nothing else you need except a broken stove.

There is a kind of beauty in a startup on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Poor, still poor..."

Witnessing the impoverished scene before him, Ji Jue sighed softly, reached out, and slowly closed the door behind him.

Click.

A soft sound.

Then, with the crisp sound of the second hand, a dark mark like a burnt fire spread out in all directions from the position of the handle, and instantly engulfed everything in the basement.

In an instant, everything was completely different.

In the dead silence, the dome rose, the ground dropped, and the slightly empty basement expanded further, turning into a dilapidated platform. As the fog dissipated, an old train covered with cracks appeared silently from the track like a phantom.

A gentle warm light came from inside the car, illuminating Ji Jue's face.

With a crisp friction sound, the car door slowly opened.

Waiting in silence.

Ji Jue picked up the Shoushan copper ingot in his bag and waved happily:
"Hi, hi, hi! Family, it's time for dinner again!"
