Only by becoming the branch head of the Jumang Department can you have the authority to access those materials, thereby solving the threat posed by the 'Longlong Blood Essence'.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Yan planned to go to Aoki City to see if he could make any difference while he was applying to join the Dragon Riders.
If it was last year, Luo Yan would have asked Yu Qiushui to do this for him, but now he wanted to keep a distance from Yu Qiushui and was not prepared to take advantage of others for this, so he did not ask Yu Qiushui for help.
Besides Yu Qiushui, Luo Yan had another choice.
Zhu You, Liang Ze.
As a director, his authority is equivalent to that of a branch director, or even a little higher than that of a branch director.
If Liang Ze is asked to help, this problem should also be solved.
But he and Liang Ze had just met. Although they were currently in a cooperative relationship, who knew whether Liang Ze would regret it.
Therefore, Luo Yan did not have a relationship with Liang Ze.
The last thing he thought of was the Strategic Mansion, but Luo Yan was worried that if the 'Longlong Blood Essence' was exposed, he would become a research object.
Although the people he knew and knew in the Strategic Mansion were all upright.
But the people in the Strategic Mansion were complex, and what he knew or knew was only a drop in the bucket.
The human heart is the most complicated thing, so Luo Yan did not make any requests to the Strategic Office rashly.
After he becomes a dragon rider, he plans to secretly investigate whether there is any information on how to solve the 'Giant Beast Blood Essence' in the Strategic Mansion.
Or get close to a scholar like Jia Miao and make insinuating remarks.
In short, there are still many ways, but for now, sitting at the head of the Jumang branch is undoubtedly the safest.
If this road doesn't work, or it doesn't work for the time being, Luo Yancai will consider other methods and means.
Two days later, Luo Yan was approaching the boundary of Qingmu City.
at this time.
Luo Yan was passing through an abandoned city.
The once bustling city now looks lifeless.
The remains of high-rise buildings stand like abandoned metal sculptures in every corner of the city.
The frame of the building shines under the scorching sun, as if telling the story of its past splendor and glory.
Car wrecks can be seen everywhere on the streets, either burned beyond recognition or dilapidated by wind and rain.
Luo Yan watched all this silently.
Even if the natural disaster has passed for many years.
There are many other cities like this.
Without the hustle and bustle of human beings, the city fell into silence.
Only the wind wanders among the ruins, blowing through the empty streets, taking away the last dust and memories.
Plants grow from the cracks in the building, creating seas of green.
They climb up tenaciously, seemingly looking for traces of life.
In addition to the ubiquitous plants, Luo Yan also saw animals or wild beasts from time to time, haunting the streets and alleys of the city.
All this is not unfamiliar to him.
At this moment, Luo Yan vaguely heard the roar of the engine.
From the sound, it sounded like there was not just one car, but a convoy.
He knew that on this occasion, if he and the team met, some unpleasant friction would probably occur.
At this time, it was only two days away from Qingmu City. Luo Yan didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned off the engine and parked the car, planning to wait for the convoy to pass by before continuing on his way.
He put on a Nuo opera woodcarving mask, pulled up the hood of his cloak, put the 'Dragon Bird' on his knees, and waited quietly.
After a while, a sizable convoy appeared from the intersection ahead and drove slowly along the road.
The convoy consisted of seven or eight heavy-duty trucks, with tarpaulins stretched out on the trucks. They covered the goods and it was unknown what they were carrying.
However, Luo Yan saw the 'Water Tiger Camp' logo on the bodies of these trucks.
It seems that this is Zhuo Hu's goods.
The Water Tiger Camp is a force developed secretly by Lin Yuanfang, and it is a real piece of fat.
At first, Liu Hongming wanted to swallow this piece of fat, but he was worried that Lin Yuanfang would leave something behind, so he did not do it rashly.
In addition, his roots were not in Aoki City, so he threw this hot potato to Luo Yan.
Originally, he wanted to use the Water Tiger Camp to test the reality of the 'Red Ghost', but later it was taken into his hands by Luo Yan, transforming the Water Tiger Camp into an important foundation for him in Aoki City.
Since this was a convoy from the Water Tiger Camp, Luo Yan paid more attention and found that this convoy had a lot of guards and surprisingly sophisticated weapons.
It seems that the goods transported by this fleet are valuable.
However, the convoy has a large number of guards, and this is already the boundary of Aoki City, so it only takes two days to get to the Water Tiger Camp.
There shouldn't be anything to worry about for them.
When the convoy was far away, Luo Yan was about to start the vehicle. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle.
What followed was an earth-shattering explosion.
Fires rose from the streets in the distance, and then thick smoke billowed. Birds were frightened and flew over the city in groups, forming a rapidly passing shadow under the streets.
Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, got out of the car, closed the door, and carried the 'Dragon Bird' to the scene of the accident.
While he was still on the way, he heard the penetrating sound of artillery and the deafening sound of explosions.
The air was already filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Apparently the convoy was attacked so close to the water tiger camp!
When Luo Yan arrived at the street where the convoy was located, he saw gun barrels protruding from the broken windows of the buildings on both sides of the street, shooting wildly at the convoy below the street.
But these shooters were very restrained. The barrages were basically concentrated on the escort vehicles and guards, and did not affect the few trucks that were forced to stop. This was in order not to damage the goods on the vehicles.
At this time, on the rooftop of a building on the left, someone fired a rocket launcher into the street.
A rocket roared and landed between the two escort vehicles, setting off a violent explosion and the overwhelming sound was shocking.
Suffering such a blow, the escort force of the cargo convoy almost collapsed. At this time, the roar of the engine sounded from the direction of the other end of the street.
Cars rushed over one after another, trying to take advantage of the collapse of the convoy's escort force to seize the goods on board.
But just as these vehicles were approaching, a black cloud suddenly floated out of the cab of a truck in front.
It turned out to be a big man with a black face. He was holding a long knife and slashed at an oncoming car, creating a powerful black sword aura.
The sword energy slashed into the car body, and the tail of the modified car suddenly tilted up, bounced up from the ground, rolled over the head of the black-faced man, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The black-faced man roared: "Who dares to rob the goods from our Shuihu Camp!"
Luo Yan recognized him, he was one of Zhuo Hu's confidants.
Now the black-faced man announced the name of 'Water Tiger Camp', obviously trying to scare off the robbers, but the robbers were unmoved. They stuck their heads out of the car one by one and raised their machine guns.
Point at the big man with a black face and shoot!
