America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 226: Bursting Gold Coins

After seeing that the mountain camp had been brought under control, Zhang Ailun immediately summoned the Beggars' Sect disciples to drive to the camp. Old Jack had just returned and enjoyed the bombing spectacle for a while when he had to drive back without stopping.

Before long, they arrived at the Heaven's Gate camp. The entire gate had been blasted open, and everyone got out of the car and walked unimpeded into the smoke-filled field.

Looking around, the scenery was exactly the same as what I had seen in the drone video.

Zhang Ailun instructed the Beggars' Sect disciples to clean up the battlefield, retrieve the fallen guns and ammunition, tidy up the scene, and rescue the kidnapped victims from the cellar.

But these people have all become mentally impaired, and it will be difficult for them to take care of themselves in their later years. Among them is a 12-year-old girl.

The group was also filled with rage. They wished they could just go over and chop those scumbags to pieces.

Zhang Ailun led his men to the laboratory. Looking at the hostages huddled in a corner, trembling and clutching their heads, he questioned the priests and followers of Heaven's Gate, "What have you done to these victims?"

"You're the leader of this group? Sir, we don't think we've offended you." The priest asked timidly when he saw the leader of the gang approaching.

"You ordered others to kidnap homeless people on the streets of the city. Those are all my men. And you still say you haven't offended me?" Zhang Ailun smiled coldly.

The priest suddenly realized his mistake and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, how much money do I need to pay you to forgive me?"

"What shady deals and shady dealings are you doing with those wealthy people?"

Zhang Ailun then asked, "What money? You want to pay to buy your lives? You're really senile! Even if I kill you, your money will still be mine, right?"

The priest was momentarily speechless, then readily admitted, "We were merely conducting some experiments on them, taking necessary numbing measures to prevent resistance. Some wealthy individuals with predilections need things from young people; these valuable items are very expensive. Even if you eliminate us, it won't affect those wealthy individuals' businesses. I tried to ask them for help before, but they chose to abandon me. Those guys are inhuman!"

"Take them out and deal with them." Zhang Ailun, seeing their incorrigible nature, was too lazy to argue with them anymore. Upon hearing this, the Beggar Clan disciples immediately stepped forward, seized the priest and the believers from Heaven's Gate, and dragged them out amidst their panicked expressions to carry out their trial!

"Wait! I can cure their neurotoxins!" Dr. Jerry hurriedly begged for mercy as he saw that everyone else had been killed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ailun immediately raised his hand to stop the Beggar Clan disciples. Looking at the disheveled Dr. Jerry, whose head was covered in blood and whose white coat was filthy, he immediately asked, "Nerve damage is irreversible. Can you heal them?"

"At least it won't worsen their condition, and with proper care, there's a chance they can recover," Dr. Jerry replied. "This is a chemical agent I developed; I know how to deal with it. In fact, I've done some related research privately, and it does have the potential to alleviate neurotoxins in mice and other animals, with noticeable effects in a short period!"

"I've also developed a drug that can cause heart disease and sudden death within a minute. And a psychedelic drug that can induce hallucinations, put people in a dazed state, and make them see multidimensional worlds, while simultaneously producing adrenaline and dopamine, producing a euphoric feeling 1.7 times stronger than that from group sex, smoking, or drug addiction!"

"But these injectable drugs still have some effects on the human body. They are addictive and can damage brain nerves and organs. I am improving these drugs and adding them to cigarettes and opioids! It is because these things can make people feel drunk and open the gates of heaven to see God that I am able to become a scientific researcher at the Gates of Heaven!" Dr. Jerry hurriedly said.

The Grand Master pondered for a moment.

Isn't this just a blue leopard?

Boletus luridus, scientifically known as Boletus rubra, costs $20 per kilogram. Its effects include: hallucinations, the five senses entering higher dimensions, seeing tiny talking people, plants becoming spirits, feeling light as a feather, secreting dopamine, and experiencing extreme happiness.

How much does your chemical reagent cost?

The raw materials definitely contain lysergic acid diethylamide, phorbol ester myristate, acetate, or malondialdehyde, a highly toxic analogue.

Meeting aliens and God? You might as well just eat a piece of Boletus luridus.

Looking at Dr. Jerry, Zhang Ailun thought to himself that this old guy was quite a talent.

If he were to continue his research, he might be able to create another currently popular addictive product.

"Have him write down the formula, then test the neurotoxin and antidote on the spot. Use it on that priest and his followers," Zhang Ailun instructed Bailey. "If it doesn't work, kill him!"

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Bailey immediately led his men over, pointed a gun at Dr. Jerry, and sent him into the laboratory. He then took out a video camera and supervised the experimental debugging process on-site.

Several gunshots rang out, and many of the Heaven Gate believers were cleared out. The remaining few were also brought under control. Zhang Ailun then ordered the Beggar Clan disciples to sweep and collect supplies here, and sure enough, they got a lot of gold coins!

The Beggars' Sect disciple ran back with a grin and reported to his leader: "Boss, we found a Little Bird attack helicopter in the hangar! It's equipped with bulletproof armor plating, bulletproof glass, a 7.62mm machine gun, a 30mm cannon, four boxes of explosives, and more than twenty boxes of ammunition of various types."

「另外，在这里捡到的枪枝型号也包含催泪瓦斯、防爆盾、套索枪、柯尔特0.45ACP口径的半自动手枪、MP5系列9毫米冲锋鎗、HK33K、M177等型5.56毫米突击步枪、雷明顿700型特製狙击枪、贝内利M1Super90型战术霰弹枪、贝内利121-M-1型半自动霰弹枪，特种防火战斗服、战术背心、全黑头套、特製护目镜及凯夫拉防弹头盔等。」

A member of the Beggars' Sect explained, "We have over twenty sets of security equipment alone. Each set is worth approximately $1.5 to $2!"

"Take them all away."

Zhang Ailun nodded in satisfaction. He then took a Remington 700 sniper rifle from a Beggars' Sect disciple. After they adjusted it, he tried aiming at a distant target, pulled the trigger, and with a snap, gravel flew as the rifle pierced the target.

Looking at the crates of weapons and ammunition being shipped out, bearing police markings, Old Jack said with suspicion, "This is all police equipment, the same type used by the Los Angeles police department. Ordinary people couldn't possibly procure this; their people must have gotten it from street arms dealers or through police channels!"

A quick estimate puts the value of this batch of weapons at at least between $25 and $50. This doesn't even include the Little Bird helicopter.

Zhang Ailun led Old Jack to the hangar, where Beggar Clan disciples were unloading goods. They also saw the classic "Flying Egg" aircraft, a dark-colored machine with a firepower configuration that could be described as a miniature version of the Apache.

This thing often appears in movies and TV shows, such as Black Hawk Down, Sniper, and games like Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 4.

Unfortunately, this Little Bird helicopter is not the same model as the others; it's an older design and carries fewer weapons. It's only suitable for rapid urban warfare and not well-suited for modern warfare. Furthermore, its production cost is far lower than that of the Black Hawk and Apache.

But even with this much-handled Little Bird helicopter, the market price is still between $70 and $200 million! There are plenty of people willing to buy it, especially South American terrorists who desperately want it but can't get it.

To be honest, the Heaven's Gate's armed forces are incredibly wealthy. Just how much wealth do these bastards have?

After visiting the Little Bird helicopter, Zhang Ailun decided to leave it there and take over this mountain camp, which was both offensive and defensive, as a branch in the suburbs.

They immediately approached Blitz and asked him how much their total assets were.

"That priest has over $500 million in assets in his private bank account, as well as many real estate assets. Other believers also have hundreds of thousands of dollars in deposits, but these assets have been frozen and are under risk control just ten minutes ago."

Looking at the information displayed on the computer screen, Blitz said, "After that satellite phone call was made, the private bank controlled by the billionaire immediately froze Paradise Gate's assets, as well as some real estate and business assets in Palm Valley, Simi Valley, Lancaster City, and eastern Los Angeles. These assets were sold off immediately, with many underworld figures acquiring them at low prices. Among them were some street gangs in Los Angeles, Florence 13, and the McMotorcycle Gang."

"Police in some areas also issued arrest warrants related to Heaven's Gate immediately! This echoes the news about the Black Panther gang's human trafficking case, which was suppressed recently. But what's strange is that they didn't mention the mountain camps in the Kiliyad Mountains at all. They only said that it was Heaven's Gate members wandering in the suburbs."

"They moved so quickly?"

Zhang Ailun was somewhat surprised.

Those people acted like grasshoppers on a hot plate, touching a scalding hot potato. Afraid of being implicated, they quickly made a series of reactions, clearly trying to cut their losses and sell out Heaven's Gate.

After Heaven Gate lost its usefulness, its own people wanted to kill it immediately!

It's very likely that they thought the priest had no chance of surviving and didn't want the situation to escalate too quickly and get out of control.

They simply shifted the blame to Heaven's Gate. Without any leads, they wouldn't be affected and would still maintain the initiative.

The leader then found the captured priest and informed him of the situation.

The priest was struck dumb, his face turning pale and then red, gritting his teeth as he couldn't help but burst into a tirade: "Fxxk you! These damned bastards! How dare they?! Those are my assets!! What right do they have to confiscate all my assets? No!!"

I'm so frustrated.

It gives one the feeling of having spent decades studying hard and struggling, only to return to square one.

"If you deposit your money in someone else's bank account, then it belongs to them. What makes you think it's yours? If something happens, they can take advantage of you whenever they want!"

Zhang Ailun was amused and, looking at the priest who was in a state of mental collapse, teased, "You've done so many evil things, you probably never thought you'd end up like this."

"Sir, please give me a chance! I want revenge! I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person!" the priest pleaded, weeping. "I know all the wicked things they've done! I can help you sue them!"

"Social media, celebrities from all walks of life, government officials, underground street vendors—they're all their people. Trying to fight them within the rules they set, trying to sue them, is that just asking for trouble?" Zhang Ailun seemed speechless. "Now you know you were wrong? Fine, go repent to God."

He immediately waved his hand, ordering the Beggars' Sect disciples to strip him naked and tie him to the experimental bed.

"Is the medicine ready yet?" he urged impatiently.

"It'll be ready soon!" Dr. Jerry quickly replied, and a few minutes later, he came over with two containers of medicine.

Picking up one of the orange-yellow vials, he introduced it to the Grand Master: "This one is the B522 series neurotoxin, which I call Twilight Lover, or Glimmer. Its effects include dulling the mind and reactions, causing dementia, numbness, and loss of consciousness—similar to a vegetative state."

"This is the antidote for the neurotoxin, serial number C50. It can make a person's consciousness more active and excited, secreting large amounts of adrenaline and dopamine. In this state, it will also cause some damage to human organs, making people's blood boil and increasing the burden on the heart! But in the short term, it will improve weightlifting and running endurance! I call it Violet, or the Hand of God!"

Dr. Jerry explained, "If one dose of the chemical is used in excess, it can cause a heart attack and sudden death within a short period. I've heard that the CIA often uses similar drugs. If the other dose is used in excess, it can cause hallucinations, and dopamine secretion will be 1.7 times faster than during group exercise!"

"Let's use it on him and see how it goes." Zhang Ailun nodded.

Isn't this just a stronger version of stimulants? Why make it so mysterious?

Black bodybuilders are using advanced veterinary drugs these days, and you're still here spouting nonsense. But these chemical agents could also be considered a form of psychological attack!

"Nononono..." The priest, lying on the experimental bed, saw Dr. Jerry in a white coat approaching him with a syringe and immediately started crying and begging for mercy.

However, it was completely useless, and the Beggars' Sect disciples present showed him no sympathy whatsoever.

In order to survive and prove his worth, Dr. Jerry showed no mercy and directly inserted the syringe needle into the priest's body, injecting him with drugs.

Soon, the priest's pupils began to dilate and contract, his breathing became rapid, his face flushed, veins bulged, and he foamed at the mouth. The monitoring equipment next to him also showed that his heart rate was very high.

正常人每分钟心跳60-100下，轻微运动110-130，剧烈运动130-160。

This old man is just lying there doing nothing, and he's already broken the 180 mark!

It's almost at 200 strokes per minute.

Goodness, if this doesn't lead to sudden death, then we really have to say something.

But the other person's heart rate quickly returned to normal, their eyes became somewhat vacant, and they did not respond no matter how much they were called.

The Beggars' Sect disciples went over and gave him several large sachets, calling his name, but he didn't react even when his face turned red, just like the other victims.

"Is this all he can do from now on?" Zhang Ailun asked Dr. Jerry.

"He needs strong stimulation to recover! He's currently in a state of unconscious dormancy. My neurotoxin antidote can awaken and stimulate his body by releasing dopamine and adrenaline, which will restore his consciousness."

With that, Dr. Jerry injected another vial of medicine into the priest's body.

After waiting a few minutes, the drug's effects caused a chemical reaction in the body, with adrenaline and dopamine being secreted extremely quickly, and the person's consciousness also became somewhat fluctuating. At this point, the so-called "good stuff" could definitely be extracted.

Zhang Ailun looked at the priest, whose eyes and consciousness had somewhat returned, though he still seemed to have just woken up. He was conscious, but not very much, and didn't react much. But his face was filled with a happy smile.

After all, I did something enjoyable in my mind.

The dopamine release rate was equivalent to continuously consuming 1.7 times the amount of cocoa, resulting in immense pleasure!

"Inject the same drug into the other victims as well. How long will it take them to recover?" Zhang Ailun asked.

"It will take about six months," Dr. Jerry honestly replied. "During this time, their electrocardiograms and physiological conditions will need to be monitored in real time."

"How long?" Zhang Ailun immediately pulled out his gun after hearing that. "I didn't hear you clearly, say it again?"

"One month!! Just one month is enough!" Dr. Jerry shouted in response.
