Chapter 216: Coercion and Inducement
"Lord City Lord, this is the poison I ordered people to make. It took three days to complete. As long as the person who takes the poison does not get the antidote within a month, he will die of the poison."
Three days later, in an office on the seventh floor of the building where the Mutant Management Department is located, Murong Jun took out a dozen scarlet pills. These pills were only the size of a little finger, and they were dark red as if stained with blood. You could smell a strong fishy smell when you get close to your nose, and you can tell at a glance that they are not good things.
"Well done!" Wang Jin observed the pills and could really feel the poison attached to them.
The Zerg are very sensitive to toxins. As the king of the Zerg, Wang Jin also has an instinctive sense of toxins. As soon as he picked up the scarlet pill, Wang Jin knew that Murong Jun was right. If there is no antidote for this pill, it is difficult for the person who takes it to survive for more than a month.
"Lord City Lord, thank you for the compliment. I have arranged for those mutants to come over. Lord City Lord, please wait."
Murong Jun rolled up his silver-white hair, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His smile was very bright, different from the previous viciousness.
"Hurry up, my host is ready, just waiting for them to act."
Wang Jin smoked a cigarette, looked at Murong Jun's bright and pretty face, and sighed with emotion. Who would have thought that under the attractive face, there was a heart of a snake and scorpion.
Murong Jun felt a little uncomfortable when Wang Jin looked at her. She put her hands on her thighs, straightened her waist and abdomen, and sat on the sofa with a serious expression. Only her slightly red earlobes showed that she was not calm inside.
The scene fell into silence. After there was no work to talk about, a man and a woman were alone in a room. Even Wang Jin felt a little uncomfortable, not to mention Murong Jun. After all, she was a woman. No matter how fierce Murong Jun looked on the surface, she would be shy about the issue of men and women.
Fortunately, the mutant Wang Jin was waiting for came quickly. As soon as Wang Jin finished smoking a cigarette, the door was knocked. Eighteen first-level mutants filed in and entered the not-so-spacious office, making the office a little crowded.
"Lord City Lord, these are the 18 mutants who are spies. I have already told them about their mission."
Murong Jun stood up, pointed at the 18 male and female mutants, ranging in age from 20 to 50, and reported to Wang Jin: "They are all speed mutants, or are good at hiding their whereabouts, and are suitable as candidates for investigation."
"Deputy Minister Murong has already told you what should be said. You will take great risks to work as intelligence personnel in Lingnan Base this time, but I will not treat you unfairly when working for me, Wang Jin. I will give you 200 brain cores each first, and there will be more rewards for you after the task is completed. In addition, your position in the Mutant Management Department will also be promoted to team leader."
While Wang Jin was speaking, Murong Jun took out a box. After opening it, it was full of brain cores, shining with crystal light.
Wang Jin's face gradually became serious as he spoke. He looked at the mutants and said coldly, "However, your credit issues are still to be investigated. Now you need to take these pills to ensure that you will not betray the Lishan Base."
"Listen carefully, these pills are made by Tang Shou. You know Tang Shou. If you don't get the antidote in a month, you will die of poison. Don't be tempted by Lingnan Base. Any act of betraying Lishan Base will only lead to death."
Murong Jun also added fuel to the fire, with a cruel smile on his face. As soon as these words came out, the mutants all changed their faces and looked at those scarlet pills as if they were floods and beasts.
They worked in the Mutant Management Department and knew Tang Shou. They had heard of Tang Shou's reputation for making poisons, but they didn't expect that it would be their turn to experience it in person.
"Lord City Lord, can I not go? I don't want the reward. I just want to live a stable life. Let others take the chance of adventure."
A mutant in his forties suddenly spoke up, with a look of fear on his face.
Going to Lingnan Base for reconnaissance was a life-or-death struggle, and now they were under the control of poison. If they got the antidote too late that day, they might have died. They were very reluctant to do such a dangerous thing.
"This is an order, there is no possibility of refusal." Wang Jin's eyes turned cold, and Murong Jun understood Wang Jin's intentions. Cold air began to emerge from his body, instantly freezing the lower body of the middle-aged man.
The biting cold penetrated into the bone marrow, and the middle-aged man's face was distorted in pain. His lips were frozen blue, and his breath was cold. The middle-aged man couldn't help but screaming in pain.
"If anyone doesn't want to go, then don't go forever. All of you should sleep underground."
Wang Jin's tiger eyes glared, and the shocking killing intent surged out, scaring the mutants into a cold sweat. They lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look into Wang Jin's angry eyes.
At this time, the mutants remembered Wang Jin's name. The name of tyrant was not called in vain. They had no reason to refuse unless they didn't want to live.
In the Lishan base, Wang Jin was the only master. Although the status of mutants was higher than that of survivors, in front of Wang Jin, they could only obey orders unconditionally, even if it was a life-or-death order.
"What about you? If you don't want to go, give me an answer, and I will fulfill your wish now." Wang Jin looked at the middle-aged man with a cold face and angry eyes that made people dare not look directly at him.
As Wang Jin spoke, Murong Jun activated his ability, and the ice on the middle-aged man's body began to spread upwards and condense, freezing more and more of his body, frightening the mutants around him and making them retreat in a hurry.
"I am willing, Lord City Lord, spare my life."
When the ice reached his neck, the middle-aged man finally couldn't stand the pressure of death, and begged, his voice trembling, and he didn't know whether he was frozen or scared.
"I'll give you one chance, and next time I hear this, you will understand it yourself."
Wang Jin waved his hand at Murong Jun, and Murong Jun withdrew his ability, and the ice on the middle-aged man's body melted, turning into ice water and merging into Murong Jun's body.
As soon as the ice melted, the middle-aged man immediately collapsed to the ground. His frozen body was numb and he couldn't move on his own. He could only stand up with the help of the mutants next to him.
"Eat it." Wang Jin threw the scarlet pill to the mutants, and watched them take the pills and swallow them one by one with bitter faces. He nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile on his cold face: "Two hundred brain cores per person, come up and take them."
When have the mutants ever seen so many brain cores? They usually only have dozens of brain cores per month, and two hundred brain cores are almost half a year's salary for them.
How can the mutants not be excited to get so many brain cores? Their hands trembled slightly when they took the brain cores. They thanked Wang Jin profusely, and the tense atmosphere before disappeared a lot.
