Chapter 1035 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes
To make it easier for Wang Yan to follow in his car, Zhan Wei didn't drive particularly fast.
Su Chen looked out the window and took in the entire view of Xinggang City.
Although I can fly, the feeling of riding in a hovercar for the first time was still extremely magical.
Lu Benwei took a bottle of champagne from the refrigerator in the car and poured a glass for himself and Su Chen.
Su Chen accepted the champagne, took a sip, and casually asked,
"That guy named Liu Hailong seems to be someone important; it seems like the combat personnel are all taking care of him?"
"Well... it's a long story, but since you asked, Chief Su, I might as well tell you."
Lu Benwei smiled and began to introduce himself to Su Chen.
The Kunshan Society, led by Liu Hailong, was able to stand out among a group of survivor organizations and eventually unify Kunshan.
The reason is simple: he has a good relationship with Cheng Kun, the head of the Suzaku combat department.
Because of the villages in Hidden Dragon Valley, Suzaku has very little contact with Beitu Province.
As for the provinces further south, such as Zhongqi, Xishan, and Dongpan, they are completely gone.
However, the situation in the North is different from that in the South.
The survivor organization in the north established contact with Suzaku a long time ago.
Realizing the power of the Vermilion Bird, Liu Hailong racked his brains to curry favor with Cheng Kun.
"Liu Hailong's two older sisters were both Cheng Kun's wives."
Lu Benwei smiled meaningfully.
It turned out to be the case.
Su Chen suddenly realized.
No wonder Cheng Kun was so arrogant and domineering.
No wonder even Zhan Wei and Zhong Ya Yun are still at C+ level, while he, the leader of a local survivor organization, has evolved to B level.
So he had connections in the imperial court!
"Isn't... Suzaku indifferent?"
As soon as Su Chen spoke, he realized that his question was unnecessary.
This is a post-apocalyptic world!
As the head of the Vermilion Bird Combat Department, Cheng Kun was absolutely powerful and formidable.
Let alone two wives, even if he had twenty wives, Zhuque wouldn't care.
"It's the apocalypse now. As long as there's no coercion, you can marry anyone you want."
"After all, the population has plummeted. If we add more people, the world can be rebuilt sooner."
Rubenwei paused, then said with concern,
"You've made an enemy of Liu Hailong, so you'd better be careful in the future."
"Minister Cheng is not that magnanimous."
A thoughtful expression appeared on Su Chen's face!
I never imagined that there were so many twists and turns inside the Vermilion Bird Palace.
It seems I overestimated Suzaku before.
It was only my first day at Suzaku, and I wasn't familiar with Lu Benwei at all.
However, he revealed to himself the inside story about Cheng Kun and Liu Hailong.
Then, recalling the way Lu Benwei and Captain Wu were talking earlier.
Su Chen came to a conclusion.
There must also be factional struggles within Suzaku.
Lu Benwei was trying to win me over and get me to side with him!
"Thank you for the reminder, Minister Lu. I hope you will continue to provide me with guidance in the future."
Su Chen was not afraid of Cheng Kun.
If all else fails, I can just quit and stop playing with Suzaku.
However, the Vermilion Bird has a deep foundation, and it hasn't yet obtained so many secret manuals and spells.
Moreover, Su Chen still hopes that Suzaku can lend a helping hand when the cherry blossoms invade in the future.
He will not leave Suzaku unless absolutely necessary.
In that case, it's necessary to build a good relationship with Lu Benwei and stand on his side.
"Haha, Chief Su, you're too kind!"
Seeing that Su Chen understood what he meant, Lu Benwei's smile grew even brighter.
"Calling you Chief Su is a bit too polite."
"You look quite young. How about this, I'll call you Xiao Su in private, and you can call me Uncle Lu."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wei, who was driving in front, couldn't help but glance at Su Chen through the rearview mirror.
This was the first time he had ever seen Rubenwei so attentive to a young man!
Su Chen did not refuse.
"Okay, Uncle Lu."
The two chatted for a while longer, and Lu Benwei told Su Chen a lot of information about the Vermilion Bird.
The hovercar soon stopped outside a magnificent hotel.
"This hotel is not open to the public. Only high-ranking members or VIPs of the Vermilion Bird Group can stay here."
Lu Benwei laughed,
"I've already had Zhanwei arrange the presidential suite. Xiao Su, you and your people should get some rest."
"We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Lu."
After saying goodbye to Lu Benwei, Su Chen got off the hovercar.
Wang Yan had already parked the car in the parking lot behind the hotel.
He brought Ding Di and Meng Qi to meet up with Su Chen.
Under Zhan Wei's guidance, Su Chen and his group successfully checked into the hotel.
As soon as they opened the door, Wang Yan and Ding Di were amazed by the luxurious interior decoration and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"My goodness! I've only ever seen Dubai tycoons stay in rooms like this on TikTok!"
"Compared to this room, that guesthouse is practically a doghouse!"
Hearing this, Zhan Wei felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Um... Chief Su, you should get some rest. I'll be going now."
"Okay, Manager Zhan, take care."
After Zhan Wei left, Su Chen called Wang Yan and Ding Di over.
He relayed the information that Lu Benwei had told him to the two of them.
The ancients were right: wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
Ding Di shook his head and sighed.
"Even if it's the end of the world, Suzaku is no exception."
"I never expected that we would get caught up in their internal factional struggles on our very first day here."
"It's okay, with Brother Su here, we don't need to be afraid."
Wang Yan chuckled.
"Anyway, whatever you do, Su-ge, we'll just follow you."
Su Chen smiled.
"You two don't need to be too nervous. As long as we don't make any mistakes, how can Zhuque bully us?"
"If all else fails, we can just go back to Zhongqi Province, continue being the mountain kings, and stop serving them!"
Mengqi, standing to the side, nodded vigorously.
"The boss is right!"
"Alright, it's getting late. Let the hotel send the food up!"
Su Chen gave the instructions.
……
the other side.
After settling Su Chen in, Zhan Wei returned to the hovercar.
Before he could even speak, Rubenwei's communicator rang.
"Hey, it's me."
"understood."
After hanging up the call, Lu Benwei couldn't hide his joy.
"Xiao Zhan, good news has come from the lab."
"The Nourishing Spirit Pill that Su Chen gave me, along with its formula, are genuine and effective!"
"That's great!"
Zhan Wei also showed a look of joy.
"That way, we won't be held back by the combat department!"
The method to break through C+ and evolve to B-rank lies in the hands of the combat department.
All superhumans in the combat department are given priority in evolution.
People in other departments all have to be mindful of the attitudes of the combat departments.
Zhan Wei and Zhong Yage are both elites in the research department, but they have been unable to get promoted for a long time.
On the contrary, Liu Hailong, an outsider, evolved to Rank B.
