CHAPTER 847: CHAPTER 570: DRIVER: YOU’RE ABOUT TO HIT THE JACKPOT

"You’re using reverse psychology."

The Driver obviously wouldn’t fail to notice such a simple tactic.

"But you’ve succeeded. I’ll prepare the ammunition, and I hope you’ll have the military funds ready."

No matter how good the relationship is, ammunition still costs money, at most it’s just prepared first, then tally the expenses later.

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you, Colonel, return fully loaded and leave with an empty car."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

Wasn’t Yuan Baoer complaining about him being too polite?

This time he wouldn’t be polite, he’d directly borrow ten million from her, discussing blowing up other mountains after the fact, but blowing up the Great Jiang Mountain wouldn’t return a single cent.

"I’m looking forward to it."

Once they left the take-out alley, the "Hound" was indeed already waiting outside.

"First, pick someone up at the clinic."

Liu Zheng ordered.

"Yes, sir."

The Driver cooperated particularly well.

Of course, if by that time Liu Zheng stood him up or the trip to Great Jiang Mountain wasn’t satisfying enough, he would show him what a German iron fist was.

Arriving at the clinic, Niu Daji was still exercising outside.

"Da Ji, why aren’t you practicing inside?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Heh, I thought practicing outside was more noticeable."

Niu Daji said, a bit embarrassed.

"Well... indeed, you’re quite conspicuous."

He glanced at the deserted street and said irritably.

"Alright, put your stuff back and come with me for a trip."

Liu Zheng instructed.

"Okay, boss, where are we going?"

Niu Daji saw that the "Hound" was already brought out, so he knew this trip was no simple matter; he felt both nervous and excited.

"Back to Bathhouse Street."

He replied.

"Huh? Going to fight the Hundred Ghosts again?"

"Talk business, avoid conflict if possible. But if it comes to fighting..."

"Then like last time, I’ll stand behind you, boss."

Niu Daji immediately pledged his loyalty.

"Hmm..."

Though it sounded odd, considering last time they were fleeing like madmen, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

"Alright, get in the car."

"Humph!"

Liu Zheng called out, was about to retract into the tank’s cabin, when he heard the Sphinx snort coldly.

"Ah, sorry, forgot about you. We’re in a hurry this time, play with you next time."

He took out a handful of dried fish and tossed it towards the Sphinx.

"Who wants your pity?"

The Sphinx caught the dried fish, mumbling indistinctly.

"Finish talking before speaking, don’t choke. We’re leaving now."

Liu Zheng chuckled, retreating into the cabin.

"Wait, who let you throw dried fish at me like feeding a dog?"

By the time the Sphinx realized, the tank had already rumbled away into the distance.

"Damn humans!"

The Sphinx angrily chewed the dried fish with sharp teeth, swallowing it as if it were Liu Zheng’s flesh.

The tank rolled out of the city and into the familiar forest.

"We won’t encounter the Butterfly Deer Pig this time, right?"

Liu Zheng sparked a conversation.

Last time, they encountered a group of Butterfly Deer Pigs, listed on the Metropolis Species Protection List, so notorious that even the Bloody Restaurant dared not provoke; they could only rely on the Driver’s driving skills and the tank’s defense to get through.

Of course, that was also because Butterfly Deer Pigs weren’t on the import list.

If the restaurant issued an order, they’d have to use their tricks.

However, based on past experience with the mermaid princess, even if the restaurant needed such things, they would likely acquire them through smugglers like the Round God Sect rather than have employees handle it.

After all, when the Bloody Restaurant operates legitimately, City Hall is left powerless, and when City Hall conducts lawful arrests, the restaurant is equally powerless.

Si Xue and the restaurant treat Liu Zheng so exceptionally because he can not only complete delivery orders but also create them.

"No, because something more troublesome has come."

The Driver’s brow furrowed.

"What is it?"

Liu Zheng’s tone also turned serious.

"I don’t know, but I have a bad feeling. Heads down, defensive stance!"

The Driver suddenly shouted.

He immediately used tentacles to cover his head, curling his body into a ball.

Meanwhile, Niu Daji summoned his ancestral treasure armor, crouching with his head covered.

The next second, a massive force from below lifted the tank high into the air, then slammed it back down.

"Boom!"

The heavy impact resonated inside the relatively narrow tank cabin, causing Liu Zheng and Niu Daji’s ears to buzz.

Luckily, there was the Driver’s warning, otherwise, they’d be bleeding from the head by now.

"Colonel, what is it?"

Liu Zheng shouted.

"It’s a passing sand worm, just not sure which kind."

The Driver replied.

"What should we do then?"

"Nothing. If it walks away obediently, we stay clear of each other. If it insists on courting death, we’ll let it swallow us and then blow it up from inside."

The Driver said.

"Alright."

He held the delivery note, choosing to trust the Driver’s judgment.

The group waited silently for a few minutes, nothing happened.

"Seems to be a smart worm, what a pity."

The Driver said, somewhat regretfully.

"A pity for what?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Regardless of what kind of sand worm it is, they’re all quite rare creatures and primarily live in the Great Desert. The Great Desert is a key ecological protection area, heavily guarded by the Biology Administration Bureau. For ordinary people, not only is poaching sand worms incredibly difficult, even entering is hard to accomplish."

The Driver’s words carried a lot of information.

"What’s the Biology Administration Bureau? And where is the Great Desert?"

He asked, curious.

"The Biology Administration Bureau was originally an internal division of the Sanitation Department, only becoming independent in recent years. Its main responsibilities are the protection of rare species and the management of dangerous creatures. However, although it’s been spun off, it’s still closely related to the other department, often co-enforcing the law."
