I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 86 Precious Information
"Let me confirm again, are you sure you want to accept the task of finding the escaped researcher?" The person in charge sitting in front of Lin Mo lifted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The person in charge who contacted Lin Zhong and others about the specific matters of the commission was an old lady who appeared to be between 60 and [-] years old. She obviously looked like she was not a combatant of Jishi Ark, but a full-time technical or clerical worker.

"Are you sure? Are there any problems if I accept this mission?" Lin Zhi asked.

This is the third time that the other party has confirmed with him whether he wants to take on this task. Either the old lady's memory has begun to deteriorate, or the other party is still very cautious or even somewhat resistant to handing over the task to him.

The old lady raised her eyes to Lin Zhong, and said bluntly: "This entrustment, the foreseeable potential risks and benefits are not small, there are many uncertain factors, and the difficulty is difficult to assess. I am actually very opposed to outsourcing to the first-time cooperation team, and you There are only two people.”

"But this thing will be shown to me, so it should be something I can pick up, right?" Lin Zhong said.

Lin Zhong actually had similar thoughts. To the Enji Society, this task seemed, at least on the surface, not suitable for someone like them to cooperate with for the first time.

"This is the nun's decision. She said you are likely to be interested in this commission. After all, she has the final say here." The old lady took out a card with the mission information entered, signed and stamped it, "Mission information Inside, you can confirm it repeatedly. This is also an authorized document. Show it to the local Ark troops and churches. They will understand that you are a collaborator of the Enji Society and will provide you with the necessary support. Don’t lose it. .”

"Okay, as for transportation..." Lin Zhong took the card.

The old lady sighed: "The nun confessed to support your actions as much as possible. So we will find a way to send you to the nearest Ark base, and the troops there will rent you a car."

"Thank you." Lin Dian nodded.

They also have a floating vehicle that Fran drove from the contaminated area. It is currently left in Chuxia Town and temporarily given to Axia for safekeeping. If they want to purchase another means of transportation, they may not have much money left.

"The nun is such a nice person. I hope she didn't see the wrong person." The old lady stared into Lin Zhong's eyes and said meaningfully.

"Then I'll try not to disappoint you." Lin Zhi smiled.

"When do you plan to leave?" the old lady asked.

"As soon as possible." Lin Zhong replied.

"Then I'll make arrangements for you right away. You hurry up and prepare your luggage." The old lady replied businesslikely.

As soon as he left the room, Lin Zhong tried to read the information in the card with his bracelet and carefully confirmed many details of the mission.

The old lady said it as if letting them take on this task was a huge bargain, but Lin finally had his own ideas.

The military of the coalition government intends to kill the researcher and regain the research data, while the Enji Society intends to bring the researcher under its control and protection. This is of course in conflict with this force within the coalition government.

Let Lin Ji take over this job in a way that is almost like employment. If the coalition government military detects it, the Enji Society can take the opportunity to sever the relationship depending on the situation.

Moreover, some of the pursuers of the coalition government military disappeared, which shows that the researcher himself, or the "information" he took away is not that simple.

The danger of this mission is unknown, and the Enji Society probably intends to let them test it.

The nun put this task of completely different nature into three tasks, which was obviously a special bait. She probably also knew that Lin Zhi could see the special nature of this task, and both parties had a tacit understanding.

Lin Zhong himself is also very concerned about the information mentioned in the mission. Most of the information he has learned about the path of evolution is basically derived from the information left by Li Suling and the nuns.

The intelligence provided by the nun seems to be relatively reliable at present, but Lin Zhong has always had doubts in his heart - his encounter with Sister Yisi was arranged by Irene, and Irene's purpose is unclear, so he will not Dare to trust Sister Yi Si completely.

Instead of relying solely on the Enji Society, he believed that he should be more proactive in obtaining intelligence sources.

And this task would give him the opportunity to be the first to contact the researcher who escaped from the Central District, and handle the information that the other person took away.Now that he knew the tricks of the Central District Research Institute from the recording left by Li Suling, he felt that it was worth trying temporarily.

……

A deserted city in the south, rainy day.

The young man stood under the eaves, holding a bag of bulk flour and beans, staring idly at the rain curtain that kept dripping along the eaves.

He had just used some of the things he had picked up from scavenging in exchange for some food from the Franciscan church, but on the way back, it suddenly started to rain.

He sat under the same roof to hide from the rain with other people who had received food. Everyone held their things tightly in their arms, for fear of being accidentally walked away out of their sight.

With the Enji Church in the local area constantly preaching the faith that attracts people to benevolence, and setting the rules that people with criminal records are not allowed to receive supplies, the security situation in this deserted city is still so-so, at least there are not many vicious things like murder and rape. Crime, but after all, there is a shortage of supplies, and petty theft occurs basically every day.

Unintentionally, the young man saw his reflection reflected in the puddle on the ground.

His grass-like hair was still covered with debris, stubble grew wildly on his greasy face, and his clothes were so dirty that he couldn't see his original color. Although he couldn't smell the smell on his body, the flies that often swirled around him showed that He began to emit a strong sour sweat smell.

If he could rewind the time a year ago, he probably would never have imagined that one day he would be in this situation.

After successfully becoming a senior researcher at the research institute in the Central District, he could have lived a prosperous life in the asylum area.

Raindrops hit puddles, and the ripples distorted his face in the reflection.

Vaguely, he suddenly had the illusion that this face was laughing at him, and he even heard his own voice: "You chose it yourself."

I'm so fucking crazy!
Feeling that he couldn't stay any longer, he simply took off his coat and wrapped it outside the food bag in his arms, and then ran back to the residence he occupied in this deserted city in the pattering rain.

As soon as the door opened, he heard the girl's voice coming from the darkness: "Uncle, are you back?"

"It's me, light the fire and let's cook." He replied tiredly.

In the depths of the room, the girl was arranging a pile of sundries picked up by scavengers. When she heard what he said, she stopped what she was doing, clapped her hands, and lit the kerosene stove.

Looking at the girl, the young man sighed.

This is exactly the "precious information" he brought out from the research institute.
