Chapter 494: Lu Tianyu

"It's Lu Tianyu!" He Junhong turned ghastly pale from fright.
"Do you know him?" asked Jiang Liushi.
He Junhong nodded. "Although Jiangning Safety Zone is off-limits, soldiers are allowed to get out and trade with us. Among them, Lu Tianyu is the most famous one! He is the leader of the Sirius Squad. Moreover, he's a mighty paranormal who has torn a level-2 mutant beast with his own without getting hurt," He Junhong said with a trace of fear.
"This time, Lu Tianyu must have come to obtain the level-2 blood nucleus on behalf of the military, so I'm afraid things won't be this simple," He Junhong added
In the face of the army, any team was insignificant. He Junghong shared that information to show he had nothing to do with this arrangement.
Jiangning's army was very deterrent to survivors, and ordinary ones could not even enter the safety zone. If a team of paranormals wanted to join the military, they would have to pass extensive tests and had to fully obey the army's commands. It was equivalent to participating as a non-staff team but being controlled by the military, which was completely different from other Safety Zones. Be it the Shenhai Island or the Xiayuan Safety Zone, the military and paranormals cooperated with each other.
Generally speaking, paranormals, who had obtained special abilities, were not willing to be controlled by the army. That's why the Hejiang trade market had been established, and many survivors had chosen to live in some corner places of Jiangning.
"Commander Lu! Nice to see you. I've already prepared a cup of tea for you. Sit here," Fan Yitong smiled and said enthusiastically. Lu Tianyu was quite tall, so Fan Yitong looked like a kid before him.
Lu Tianyu nodded expressionlessly to Fan Yintong's invitation. He took the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and then placed the teacup on the table heavily.
"How do you feel? Are you satisfied with the tea?" Fan Yitong smiled.
"I have no time to chit-chat with you," Lu Tianyu replied expressionlessly. He had already swept over the paranormals, and in his mind they were weaklings.
Fan Yitong didn't mind at all. When he noticed that Lu Tianyu was looking at Jiang Liushi, he explained at once, "Captain Jiang, this is Commander Lu Tianyu of Jiangning Military. He has also come to purchase the mutant blood nucleus you want."
Lu Tianyu sneered when he heard that. "Fan Yitong, your tricks are not only ridiculous but also boring." He thought that Jiang Liushi was a shill 1 that Fan Yintong had planted because, in his view, ordinary survivors had not use for mutant blood nuclei.
"Commander Lu, if you believe me or not is up to you. Captain Jiang also needs the blood nucleus. As for who can get my blood nucleus, it's all up to you," Fan Yitong explained happily.
Lu Tianyu smiled coldly. It was evident that he didn't believe Fan Yitong, and he didn't even spare a second glance to Jiang Liushi. All he wondered about was how that charade was going to play out.
"You!" Jiang Zhuying was annoyed by Fan Yitong's behavior, and she wanted to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, Jiang Liushi stopped her and smiled. For him, reprimanding and questioning the other party was useless and meaningless.
"You are just a shill!" Jiang Zhuying whispered after being stopped by Jiang Liushi.
However, Lu Tianyu heard her, and he looked at Jiang Zhuying. To his surprise, he found that Jiang Zhuying was a level-2 paranormal.
Although Jiang Zhuying could control her energy fluctuations, she could not do it as well as Lu Changfei. At the same time, she was agitated and momentarily lost control so anyone close to her level could sense the difference.
'Hejiang Town has a genuine level-2 paranormal? But why would that girl follow Fan Yitong's orders?' Lu Tianyu pondered in confusion. He concluded that Fan Yitong would like to demand an exorbitant price. However, it was impossible for a mere paranormal to fight against his own squad. Moreover, he would be enough to fight against Jiang Zhuying.
"Since both of you are impatient, let's start. Whoever's price is the highest, he will be the one to get the mutant blood nucleus," Fan Yitong said.
Lu Tianyu said in a deep voice after confirming that Jiang Liushi and Jiang Zhuying didn't want to bid first, "Five rifles and 2,000 bullets. The price is already very high."
"Commander Lu, actually, even one mutant nucleus can fetch a higher price than what you just bid." Fan Yitong shook his head.
Without waiting for Fan Yitong to finish his words, Jiang Liushi made his move. "Five rifles, 5,000 bullets and 5 tons of mutant meat." Jiang Liushi did not lack such resources.
Lu Tianyu frowned and felt annoyed by Jiang Liushi's action. He held the teacup and pressed it against the marble table, which in turn caved in a little before the teacup suddenly turned into dust the moment he let go of it.
"Fan Yitong cut the cr*p and name your price. Stop wasting my time!" Lu Tianyu said slowly.
Jiang Liushi faintly glanced at the depression on the table, and he revealed a smile. It was obvious that Lu Tianyu wanted to threaten Fan Yitong as well as him.
Fan Yitong also smiled. After all, they were in his territory, and the military could not make a reckless move to steal his possession.
"In this case, let me be frank. What I want more than weapons are evolution crystals!" Fan Yitong revealed his intentions with a wicked smile.
Lu Tianyu snorted with the novelty of Fan Yitong's thoughts and ambitions. It wasn't that easy to procure evolution crystals,
"Are you messing with me?" Jiang Liushi asked angrily. He hadn't expected that Fan Yitong would change his mind after bidding the highest price.
"Captain Jiang, I don't dare. That's my request. Since you don't have what I want, you shouldn't blame me."
"Haha!" Jiang Liushi laughed with a sneer. And then, he reached for his pocket. He pulled out something and opened his palm slowly. Several evolutionary crystals, emitting beautiful lights, and energy, were lying in his hand.
Fan Yitong was suddenly attracted by them and fixed his eyes on the crystals.
Lu Tianyu was also shocked and wondered why a seemingly ordinary team had so many evolution crystals.
Fortunately, Jiang Liushi's minibus had the Energy Laboratory, which could produce evolutionary crystals at any time. Jiang Liushi had produced those crystals during the past few days, but he had yet to distribute them to his teammates. Never had he expected that he would need to take them out on such an occasion.
