Hallucinogens are a unique product of this abnormal era. Shortly after waking up at the Massey Bionic Pet Hospital, Li Liang witnessed a person using hallucinogens at the "Ford SLOW" downstairs. At that time, he felt that this thing was absolutely This is Xi'an's method to paralyze the people. Otherwise, how could the joint meeting allow hallucinogen stores to open openly in downtown areas.
Facts have proved that his guess was correct. Hallucinogens are one of Xi'an's "precise controls" on the world. They were not only released into the lower city, but were also abused in the upper city to cause disaster.
Compared with hallucinogens, illegal addictive drugs a thousand years ago are simply childish.
However, in Xiacheng District, anyone can theoretically open a hallucinogen store as long as they apply for a business license from the Joint Conference and a hallucinogen business license from Putnam Laboratory Sales Corporation.
However, not many people sell hallucinogens this way because they don’t make much money.
Although Putnam Sales Corporation provided hundreds of legal hallucinogens, in the words of gang members, Putnam's products were not strong enough.
Thus, an illegal psychedelic industry was born, offering not only a wider variety of drugs, but also... strong ones.
Take "Ford SLOW" as an example. Although Old Ford is one of the group's personalities and opening a store is just a disguise, it still follows the usual practice. What it sells on the surface is Putnam's SLOW, but privately it sells SLOW-S. , the feeling of "time slowing down" is stronger and lasts longer.
Of course, the side effects of illegal hallucinogens are equally horrific. Countless people die violently every year, but this does not prevent the entire industry from booming, spreading to seven cities around the world.
Today, nearly 90% of the supply of this huge underground industry is in the hands of the "Khan", and the remaining 10% belongs to small workshops in various cities. For example, Balentine of Mayfly is a "famous" As an illegal hallucinogen "artist", Yuan Quan assigned him the role of a villain who "performs evil experiments", and he deserves the title.
Leaving Buhe's apartment, Li Liang walked into the real core of "Khan" - the hallucinogen factory, under the personal leadership of Alsleng.
He finally understood why the "Khan", a powerful foreigner but a powerful man inside, could firmly control this business that made huge profits every day. It was not only because of the customs clearance of Denali political circles, but more importantly, the fact that the factory was located inside the Denali Mountains. "It's hard to defend but difficult to attack" has been taken to the extreme.
The passage into the factory was like a maze, with countless traps and false doors, plus numerous checkpoints. Even if Alsleng led the way, the whole process still took nearly an hour.
Finally, when his vision suddenly opened up, he saw the wonders hidden deep in the mountain.
Between the huge liquid storage tanks and roaring equipment, large and small tents spread all the way down the slope of the ground. The tents glowed with dim yellow or dark red light. Looking at it, it looked like a fire extending into the abyss. river.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of chemicals, and the rough ground felt sticky when stepping on it. Li Liang and Cain followed Alsleng through the tents, occasionally looking through the rolled-up curtains. Hong glanced.
Some of these tents are used as laboratories, some are workers' residences, and some large tents are airtight and obviously serve as sterile rooms, equipped with decontamination channels. Workers entering and exiting wear chemical protective suits and masks. His eyes were numb and cold.
According to Alsleng, the entire factory has more than a thousand workers and nearly a hundred R&D personnel. The produced hallucinogens are transported out of the mountain through a narrow conveyor belt, and are then diluted, filled, packed in boxes, and transported through ground transportation. Go to Denali Port outside the sky, and sell it to the world through the submarine network.
Relying on China's power to intimidate Denali and its partners in six other cities, the entire production and sales process is efficient and fast, and has been operating stably for more than ten years.
No wonder even a gang leader like Cain, who has a high level of ambition, has a close relationship with Chi Na. However, Li Liang was not here to inspect the production line. His purpose was "No. 3 on the other side."
Alslen took him to another small cave dug out on the edge of the factory.
This is Khan's "drug testing base."
When a new drug is developed, it must go through "clinical trials," and the same goes for hallucinogens.
However, when Li Liang walked into the cave, the scene he saw was still beyond imagination.
In a cave the size of a football field, single beds are lined up end to end, leaving only a narrow corridor. There is a person lying on each bed, and a simple life monitoring instrument is placed at the head of the bed.
Indistinct murmurs and painful groans floated in the filthy air, and the inspectors wearing chemical protective suits wandering in the aisles were like ghosts in hell.
Cain seemed to be used to it, and faced Li Liang's gloomy eyes and said calmly: "These people are all voluntary."
"Voluntary?" Li Liang couldn't believe it.
“Here, hallucinogens are free, and many people are unwilling to leave,” Alslen said with a deep smile: “Desire and death always go hand in hand.”
Li Liang was speechless.
He knew that not everyone could afford the price of illegal hallucinogens. As he went deeper, his eyes swept across faces that were crazy, confused, happy or ferocious. He realized that the scary thing was not the hallucinogens, but the hallucinogens. It’s this abnormal era.
"This is right here," Alslen suddenly stood still and pointed to an area not far away, "These people have all been injected with Bigan-3."
Li Liang walked to the nearest bed and looked down.
Lying on the bed was a skinny man, his bare upper body covered with abscesses, but the skin above his neck was so white that it was almost transparent. More importantly, the man's expression was exactly the same as Bu He's - one of extreme satisfaction and complete relief. smile.
"Why is he looking like this?"
Hearing Li Liang's question, Alsileng waved behind him.
A researcher wearing chemical protective clothing approached and explained: "In 2877, Putnam Laboratory released a hallucinogen called 'Lan Keshan', which can make people randomly recall some forgotten scenes. Later, more than ten generations of 'Lan Keshan' were released, and the effect became stronger and stronger. We developed Biangan No. 1 based on 'Lan Keshan'. Users will feel that they have traveled through time and space and returned to the past. The blood drug concentration Within three minutes of peaking, most users feel like they have lived about three months in the past.
After that, we improved the formula and developed Bigan 2, which increased the duration of effect to twelve minutes, followed by Bigan 3, which was based on the brain work proposed by Putnam Denali Branch while ensuring the duration of effect. The memory model strongly correlates the perceptual image function with the brain's central executive system and two subsystems, the speech loop and the visuospatial template. Simply put, Bi'an No. 3 allows users to be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and experience another world in their imagination. A life. "
Feel like you've traveled through time?
Li Liang suddenly realized.
No wonder this stuff is the designated medicine for the core believers of the Nature Sect. After taking it, they may mistakenly think that they have gained the power of time observers.
"Damn, there's this kind of hallucinogen?" Cain obviously heard about it for the first time and frowned, "Why haven't you released it yet?"
The R&D personnel shook their heads: "The side effects of Bi'an No. 3 are too great, with a fatality rate of more than 30%. In addition, there is another more important reason..."
"What's the reason?" Li Liang asked.
"The vast majority of users... don't want to wake up," the R&D staff member looked at the man on the bed, his eyes showing rare pity under the mask, "For him, the imaginary world is real. You can try another life and get everything you want... When the duration is over, the first thing he does when he opens his eyes is to beg us to send him back... again and again, until the side effects end his life."
Li Liang raised his eyes and looked around.
The fatality rate of Bi'an No. 3 is not 30% at all, but 100%. At this moment, everyone in this area is already a living dead.
Alslen said in a low voice: "It is impossible for the joint meeting to allow the existence of such hallucinogens."
"Since there is no mass production, where do the cloth and goods sold to Zhongjing come from?" Cain asked casually.
"Buhe is a confidant of China and can enter and leave the factory freely," Alsileng glanced at Li Liang's face, lowered his head and said, "He got the formula, produced it privately, and sold it to Zhongjing. I know nothing about it."
Cain tilted his head and smiled: "You picked it clean enough."
"In any case, we are willing to compensate for the accidental leakage of this batch of goods," Alsileng bowed to Li Liang and subconsciously speeded up his speech.
Li Liang didn't trust the fat fox in front of him. However, there was a high probability that Alsileng did not know that the buyer of Bi'an No. 3 was a natural sect. Otherwise, there was no need to hide the news. After all, Bu He was a confidant of Chi Na. .
He thought for a while and said, "I'll give you one day to find all the people related to Bu He. Tomorrow morning at the latest, tell me where Bu He hid the goods from Zhongjing."
Alsileng was relieved: "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate."
Boom!
Cain kicked Alslen fiercely: "We need to investigate secretly. If I hear any news about it, I will chop off your fat body and refine it into oil."
Buzz.
There was a vibration on his wrist, and Li Liang lowered his head and glanced at the message that appeared on the bracelet.
Teemo and Allen arrive in Lower Denali.
