Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 655 - 525: Relentless

Xiao Hu's words completely awakened Qu Jianlei, in the face of human greed, what does justice count for?

Take Blue Star as an example, inventing Mu Hai Weapons enough to destroy humanity, synthesizing viruses not derived from nature, aren't these things done by humans?

However, he still felt something was amiss, he just couldn't pinpoint it immediately.

So he smiled, "You didn't tell the truth at first, are you even wary of me?"

"Not wary," Xiao Hu bluntly denied, then hesitated a bit, "Probably... just confused."

Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Alright, you don't need to ponder philosophical problems, for you now, it's a bit too advanced."

"The urgent thing is to find where Fahim might be hiding... I absolutely cannot allow him to wake up."

"No problem," Xiao Hu responded without hesitation, then asked, "How much computational power should the Customs Enforcement Division retain?"

"Not necessary, just keep an eye on it," Qu Jianlei sneered, "They will all hide."

Xiao Hu hesitated before muttering, "That's not your style."

Qu Jianlei answered indifferently, "Is it to say discrete development? I am quite steady this time."

"Since you want to have independent consciousness, you need to ponder human nature... most who regard human life as trivial often cherish their own lives."

Xiao Hu retorted unconvinced, "You said most, which proves there are exceptions!"

Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "They are a system, not societal people, most will hide... and thus there won't be a few."

As expected, the Customs Enforcement Team, although still searching everywhere, all relied on heavy weapons to team up.

There were hardly any Customs Enforcement members alone, even groups of three to five were rare.

By noon, Qu Jianlei contacted Hertman.

The Guard Captain's reply was, "Currently, there's no news... to ensure your credentials aren't revoked, the boss is under great pressure."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the Customs Enforcement Division have such power, pushing the Planet Mansion people to revoke credentials?"

"The key is you stirred things up twice," Hertman could only smile bitterly, you know how wild you are in your heart, don't you?

"At least you forced their warships out, the boss can still hold on for a while."

Deploying warships without the Planet Government's permission, even the military isn't suited for that, the Customs Enforcement Division is somewhat excessive.

Qu Jianlei spoke in a low voice, "What does hold on for a while mean... will it still be revoked?"

The Guard Captain responded without hesitation, "Just drag it on, since they are official institutions, it's hard to confront them too much."

"So whatever strong figures you have behind you, act quickly, once the joint meeting makes a decision, it won't be easy to change."

I have no strong figures, Qu Jianlei snorted softly, "When can you give me news about Fahim?"

The Guard Captain sighed, "Really can't guarantee that, originally there was some confidence, but you've been too disruptive these past two days..."

Qu Jianlei heard this and pursed his lips, whether my actions confuse the opponents is hard to say, but they greatly increased pressure on our side.

So I still considered this too lightly, it was wishful thinking.

Seeing he didn't reply, the Guard Captain feared angering him, so he added some information.

"What is certain is that the military hospital is an absolute trap, the female Guardian Supreme Qing Feng is hiding there."

"Then I'll contact you later," Qu Jianlei sighed and cut the communication.

Then he asked Xiao Hu to try contacting Camille, regrettably couldn't reach her.

The next moment, Big Head Butterfly took the initiative to contact Xiang Xue, "Any latest movements of that guy?"

"No," Xiang Xue replied bluntly, "The Guardian Supreme sent someone to contact Professor Zi, hoping to restrain you."

Clearly, his rampage has made even Bu Shang Supreme feel troubled.

Qu Jianlei snorted softly, "Why didn't he restrain the Customs Enforcement Division before, and now wants me to restrain myself?"

Xiang Xue replied helplessly, "How about I create a false identity for you, to hide for a while... just like before on Star No. 4?"

"Thanks, no need!" Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation, "You all protect yourselves."

Until nightfall, Qu Jianlei took out a handset and randomly called, unexpectedly reached Camille.

The Cleaner didn't disappoint him, on the other end indicated straightforwardly, "There are three suspicious points, will give you the precise answer tomorrow night."

"Three?" Qu Jianlei spoke in a deep voice, "Give them all to me, I'll investigate myself."

"The Cleaner can't afford to lose face," Camille refused outright, "Providing the precise location means precise location."

This good huh? Qu Jianlei put away the handset, couldn't help but marvel silently: It still has to be the Cleaner!

Rest tonight? He pondered a little, then decisively headed to the military hospital to have a look.

There are plenty of military hospitals, but the comprehensive level is highest at the Fourth War Zone General Hospital.

The General Hospital is only a kilometer away from the Fourth War Zone Headquarters, surrounded mostly by barracks or military dormitories.

However, the General Hospital also receives patients from the general public, but charges are quite high, unaffordable for the poor.

Qu Jianlei walked there, by the time he arrived it was close to midnight, yet there were still plenty of cars coming and going, mostly luxury cars.

He chose a large tree about eight to nine hundred meters away from the hospital, squatted in the shade, and lit a cigarette.

This is a blind spot in the surveillance, covering only about ten square meters, but it's enough for him.

Walking back and forth under surveillance, sooner or later it'll raise suspicion, but in this small area, no matter how long he stays, it's fine.

Unless he runs into patrol personnel or some reckless fellow.

However, these days, people really can't stand being talked about. Qu Jianlei hadn't even finished a cigarette when a luxury car sped in.

This car barely slowed down, skidding and drifting, its rear heading straight for the shade of the trees.

"What the hell..." Qu Jianlei really didn't expect this situation. He didn't even have time to get up, as he dashed out with the cigarette still in his mouth.

Then he couldn't help but complain, "Do you even know how to drive, damn it?"

The luxury car came to a screeching halt, forcefully stopping there.

Then the car door opened, and out came a burly man with a face full of horizontal flesh, a C-level with Wood Attribute, with a whiff of alcohol on his breath.

The man likely didn't see Qu Jianlei during the drift.

But with a flash of a figure and the fiery red cigarette butt, he immediately noticed someone was there and instinctively became alert.

Then, concentrating, he heard the other party's words and was furious in an instant.

He strode over to Qu Jianlei, face dark, saying, "You got the guts to say that again?"

Qu Jianlei wanted to flare up: Don't you know that driving under the influence is illegal in the Divine Land?

But considering the opponent's Wood Attribute, he decided to hold it back, "I'm just squatting here doing nothing to provoke you?"

"I've been parking here for several days, damn it," the burly man spouted off vulgarities, "If you want to die, just say it!"

"Come on, come on, just repeat the crap you just said if you dare!"

"Damn if I would go wandering," Qu Jianlei still wasn't appeased, his body flashing as he delivered a hand chop.

A mere C-level small fry wasn't worth using Elemental Power, he settled the fight with a single palm strike.

However, the burly man wasn't bad; he tried to dodge, but unfortunately, he was a bit slow.

After taking the palm strike, his body slightly held up, as if the force was somewhat insufficient.

Qu Jianlei had to reinforce with another heavy palm strike, "Goodness, among C-levels, he's a peak expert."

Then he tossed the man back into the car. Surprisingly, this luxury car had an iris recognition system, luckily, the door was still open, and the car wasn't turned off.

He adjusted his appearance and physique, picked up the burly man's Identity Token, and thought to drive around nearby.

It would be even better if he could get close to perceive the General Hospital's situation.

Eight or nine hundred meters wasn't far, yet, at least one Supreme Amestina was hidden there on the other side.

Qu Jianlei had personally experienced the ability to Conceal Aura of a Supreme, how could he underestimate it?

But very unfortunately, when he was about to hit the road, a female voice came from the car system, "Please verify iris, please verify iris."

"I'll take control of it," Xiaohu sent an idea, "it'll just take a minute."

"Hold on," Qu Jianlei had indeed never seen such an intelligent system in a luxury car.

"The car's owner drank too much and is asleep in the back seat. I'm the chauffeur he called."

An avatar of a woman on the car screen spun around twice before replying, "Authorization required, authorization required."

Qu Jianlei grinned, "What if I leave, and he gets cold at night? There might be a cold wave."

The woman's avatar spun around again, "There is no cold wave, you can take care of him in the car."

"Alright then," Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and nodded, "Let the window down a little for ventilation."

The window indeed lowered a bit, Qu Jianlei took out a bottle of wine, reclined the seat, drinking as he perceived the General Hospital.

Xiaohu couldn't help but ask, "So far away, not going out for a spin?"

"If you take control, traces might be left," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "Sensing from a distance is fine too."

It turned out that the scrutiny around the General Hospital was quite strict. Three groups of people checked Qu Jianlei's identity throughout the night.

But the burly man's identity held under inspection, probably due to the luxury car, so no one checked the iris or anything.

Someone did ask, why are you sleeping here in the middle of the night instead of going home?

Qu Jianlei, with a dark face, replied, "Not in the mood, wanting some peace alone."

The questioner left with a strange look, likely recalling recent Wood Attribute rumors.

Qu Jianlei's patience was high enough; he just quietly kept watch the entire night.

During this, the burly man showed signs of waking; Qu Jianlei landed another palm strike, fortunately without any response from the woman's avatar.

It seemed to be just an intelligent driving system, able to prevent vehicle theft but unconcerned with the owner getting beaten up.

As dawn was breaking, Qu Jianlei lit a cigarette, "I'll leave after finishing this one."

Halfway through the smoke, he lightly hummed, "Hmm?"

On the other side of the General Hospital, over a thousand meters away from him, there was a trace of an extremely faint spirit wave.

Although the wave was slight, it conveyed a very profound sense of mystery.

"Is this... finally a Supreme showing their face?"
