Bode’s eyes flashed: "Is the source reliable?"
"It’s information revealed by another informant we planted in the Special Operations Department. Right now, the entire intelligence department of the Special Operations is looking into the motives of the two Yellow-robed Priests."
Upon hearing this, Bode looked thoughtful and said, "Could it be that these two Yellow-robed Priests are scared... preparing to leave the Ninth Special Zone?"
Hearing this, Erin quickly asked, "Sir, what should we do now? If these two Yellow-robed Priests really leave the Ninth Special Zone... we’ll be at a disadvantage!"
As it stands, the entire Special Operations Department already overshadows the Security Brigade, and if the people from the Apocalypse Society get scared and choose to withdraw from the entire Ninth Special Zone, the credit will certainly go to the Special Operations Department.
The Security Brigade would be completely passive, wouldn’t it? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI(F)ire.net
Bode made a decision almost instantly and said, "Send someone to monitor the followers of the Apocalypse Society. If they leave the city, we’ll completely deal with the Apocalypse Society outside the city!"
This is currently the only chance for the entire Security Brigade to claim the credit. If they miss out on this, it could really spell disaster.
Johnny and his team had been waiting for some time. Chen Che found an excuse to send Xia Na away.
Although Xia Na knew his identity, she didn’t know what he was about to do.
If someone doesn’t have their own little schemes, how could they survive?
As for the Apocalypse Society’s assets, Chen Che naturally considered it as compensation for his mental distress.
After all, the Apocalypse Society had caused him significant psychological damage.
Isn’t it reasonable to collect some compensation for mental distress?
He sent Xia Na away simply because that girl was simple-minded and couldn’t stop talking.
Chen Che planned to treat these assets as spoils of war, adding them to his private treasury. If Xia Na saw them, she might report them to An Nishang to earn favor, and handing over that money would be too painful for Chen Che.
It’s his compensation for mental distress!
Given Chen Che’s identity and An Nishang’s authorization, even though the entire C21 District had been taken over and locked down by the people from the Special Operations Department.
Chen Che could easily lead his team into the district and enter the sewer through a manhole cover, searching step by step according to the map given by Zhou Shaoyang.
After searching for a long time, Chen Che finally found the location marked on the map.
The plain wall showed no sign of a mechanism, and it’s about a direct line of over 100 meters to the underground secret base of the Apocalypse Society.
Following the map’s instructions, Chen Che reached out and counted from a brick at the corner to the 20th brick, then pressed hard on the 21st brick.
The 21st brick was immediately pressed in.
It seemed to trigger some mechanism, and a small door instantly appeared on the seamless wall.
Chen Che licked his lips and turned to his subordinates, saying: "What are you waiting for, get inside and move the stuff!"
Inside the chamber, boxes were crammed densely together.
Thoroughly reviewing the treasure stored and distributed by the Apocalypse Society in the Ninth Special Zone was eye-opening.
There were more than ten boxes of fresh flour, each box weighing three to four hundred pounds.
Unhusked rice, filled with plump grains, amounting to at least tens of thousands of pounds.
There was also a large amount of cured and smoked meat... these were top-tier ingredients that, if sold on the black market, would absolutely be worth millions of Beta!
And various weapons! This place was not just a treasury but also the armory of the Apocalypse Society!
Besides, there was nearly 3 million Beta in cash, a large box of gold, totaling over 100 pounds of gold.
Gold is a universal currency in any era, with many uses, even in the Wasteland.
The price of gold is similarly expensive.
In the few hundred years since the apocalypse, much of the gold from the Old World has been consumed, buried beneath the Wasteland.
Gold from major jewelry stores and banks of the Old World has pretty much been looted clean.
The currently existing gold can only be extracted from mines, but due to the apocalypse, mining has become increasingly difficult.
This makes gold mining extremely challenging.
The price of gold has steadily risen.
In the Night Empire, one gram of gold is valued at 200 Beta.
There are nearly 100 pounds of gold here.
The value is easily over ten million Beta!
Along with various miscellaneous items, the entire treasure’s value is at least over a hundred million.
Chen Che initially thought that the Apocalypse Society’s assets would be worth just a few million Beta, which would have already been quite a lot. But once it was all unearthed, he couldn’t help but gasp.
The ways the Apocalypse Society made money surely weren’t limited to squeezing the regular followers dry.
They must have been involved in all kinds of smuggling businesses behind the scenes.
There were many undisclosed sources of income.
That’s how they could accumulate such a rich trove of wealth.
Chen Che even found five vials of Flesh and Blood Calamity Potion in a small wooden box!
This is an enormous fortune!
Johnny and the others were completely dumbfounded, their hands trembling at the sight of such vast wealth.
Chen Che’s lips curled into a slight smile, saying: "What are you waiting for? Move it!"
"Master Chen, should we take all of it?"
Johnny asked, "Otherwise, are we leaving it for someone else? This is a lot of money!"
Even in a civilized world, many people never see this much wealth in their lifetime, let alone in an apocalypse.
Chen Che stroked his chin, pondered for a while, then said: "Leave a tenth of the gold, a third of the rice and grains, some junk weapons, and take the rest."
