Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 45: Baku's Speculations and Responses, Marcel's Gift

Green Forest City eastern suburbs, Thug Prison.

Habaar's face was currently so dark it looked like it could drip water.

"So, you came back to tell me that not only did you let two Enforcers escape right under your noses, but the supplies and organ donor for the transaction with Burning Fortress were also stolen, and on top of that, a Flame Priest died?"

He came before Tuce, who was responsible for this operation, and slapped him on the head.

The head was immediately smashed into the chest cavity, blood spraying out.

Kicking the corpse over ten meters away, Habaar looked at Baku.

But he saw Baku slightly shaking his head, standing up, extending his middle finger to gently push up the glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose.

"Everything else can be managed, but the most troublesome thing is that donor. We must give Victor an explanation for this matter."

"Someone go, bring the previous donor, prepare to go to Burning Fortress."

Habaar slightly frowned."Baku, you can't go. Never mind that the transaction is already completed, our slaves and donor have already completed the handover with them, and the people guarding the supplies were from Burning Fortress, it's already none of our business. Besides, we not only provided slaves and a donor, but our supplies were also stolen. Logically, we should be the ones causing trouble for them."

"Who knows if it wasn't Burning Fortress people playing dirty and betraying us!"

After Baku signaled his subordinates to follow his instructions, he then said in a deep voice: "We did suffer heavy losses, but now is not the time to talk about this. Clearly, the transaction and cooperation were already completed. Victor wouldn't be so short-sighted as to betray us, especially since they also lost a Flame Priest."

"This doesn't make sense."

"Actually, the ones in real danger now are us..."

Habaar looked at Baku with disbelief.

"What do you mean! Baku."

Baku narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction of the Black Shield Police Department.

"Habaar, you need to understand, this time we were the ones who asked Burning Fortress to assist in ambushing the Black Shield Police Department, and we were also the ones who proposed changing the transaction location to Splow Park. But now all the supplies and donor at Splow Park have disappeared, the Flame Priest was killed, yet the Black Shield Police Department Enforcers escaped from our ambush."

Baku turned his head to look at Habaar, his tone heavy: "If you were from Burning Fortress, what would you think?"

Habaar's face changed dramatically. He just didn't like thinking about these things, but he wasn't stupid.

He immediately understood what Baku meant.

"You're saying Burning Fortress will think we were the ones who did it? How is that possible, what benefit would that bring us..."

"But from Victor's perspective, we are the biggest beneficiaries."

"So I must personally go explain this matter to Victor. Fortunately, we still have another transplant donor that meets Victor's requirements, so there's still room for recovery. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would face a situation of being attacked from both sides by the Black Shield Police Department and Burning Fortress."

Habaar was completely speechless, only his gaze toward Baku flashed with seriousness.

"But who exactly stole our supplies, and how did the enemy know about Splow Park?"

Hearing this, Baku snorted coldly.

"Isn't that simple? When something like this happens, who benefits the most? Of course it's the Black Shield Police Department..." His gaze swept over the many Raiders outside, full of coldness.

"Just didn't expect there's still a rat in our house that I haven't rooted out yet. After I appease Victor, I must properly entertain this Mr. Rat who accomplished such a feat when I return."

District 11, 7 Canchino Street.

8:00 PM.

When Masier heard the intrusion alarm and checked the surveillance.

What she saw were several large bags of supplies appearing outside her residence.

Her eyes nearly popped out in shock.

"How is this possible!"

If it weren't for that familiar figure behind the opposite wall, she would have thought she was dreaming.

She immediately put on her equipment, grabbed her weapon, opened the door and hid behind the fence.

At this moment, those bags of supplies were only two meters away from Masier. Within easy reach.

There were four large bags in total, all wide open, allowing her to directly see the contents inside.

Mechanical parts, electronic components, food, dried fish, canned goods

Masier's heart was trembling slightly.

The man's voice came from the opposite side.

"Masier, these supplies are my investment in you, take them!"

Masier still couldn't quite believe it, they were still strangers!

Someone who could produce so many supplies was definitely not an ordinary person, but what exactly did he want?

Masier still couldn't believe that someone would hand over so many supplies for a research outcome of unknown value.

This is the wasteland after all!

But the facts were right before her eyes.

"You're sure you're giving all of these to me?"

"No, as I said before, these supplies are my investment in you, not a free gift. You can also think of me as an angel investor. When you produce research results, that will be my harvest time."

Listening to the other party seriously and solemnly correcting her verbal mistake, Masier didn't feel there was much difference.

It was just a different way of saying it, but she still felt very happy that someone recognized her research.

"Masier, are you not accepting my investment?" Yu Yuan frowned slightly as he saw the other party hadn't responded.

"Giving things away is so difficult! Is this person an idiot? Hurry up and accept it!" He couldn't help but complain internally.

Then he heard the other side say "Wait a moment" and actually... actually ran back into the room.

Yu Yuan:.......

What?

What are you doing? Are you coming back?

Wait, those four bags of supplies! Just left there unattended?

Yu Yuan was really getting frantic.

Could it be that these supplies can't be given away?

Looking at the fact that there were less than 10 hours left until the [Luxury Card] mission deadline.

If there were problems with Masier, where would he find the next opportunity to eliminate the [Luxury Card]?

Would he really have to liquidate all his firearms to gather enough of those 150,000 survival points?

Fortunately, Masier didn't make him wait too long, soon appearing again.

Yu Yuan saw her carefully place a long, slender object on the ground outside the courtyard.

"This is a finished product I made before, consider it a meeting gift for you. I'll accept your investment, especially these parts and electronic components, they'll be a great help to me."

"Then I'll move everything inside?" Masier still seemed somewhat uncertain.

Yu Yuan's gaze fell on the long, slender object, guessing what it might be while responding to Masier.

"Move them. After you finish moving, I'll come over. By the way, in the bag with the canned goods, there's a pattern. Can you help me see what hotel that symbol represents?"

"Hotel?" Masier was slightly taken aback, but still looked at the bag.

Sure enough, she saw a paper with a bauhinia pattern.

"This is..." Masier thought for a moment and quickly recognized it, looking at Yu Yuan and saying:

"This should be the symbol of Orleans Hotel. It's not far from here. But... I don't recommend you go there."
