Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!
Chapter 99 - 11 "You Detonated the Nuclear Bomb

Chapter 99: Chapter 11 "You Detonated the Nuclear Bomb

The shock these few short words brought to Chen Jian was even more intense than when he first encountered a monster in this world.

Nuclear bomb?

This is not a term that can be passed down from ancient times, nor is it related to a low-productivity society.

It has no derivatives, no ambiguity.

What it refers to is that world-destroying weapon of war!

Chen Jian originally thought things like this had long been completely forgotten, lost in the long suffering of humanity.

But now it seems...

Someone actually remembers it!

Does this mean that the profound knowledge related to it is also remembered by someone??

Chen Jian’s expression was complex, unclear whether it was shock or excitement, while the reactions of the other team members were remarkably similar to his.

He took a deep breath and spoke to Zeng Yi:

"Bring that Ring Chamber of Commerce merchant over, I have something to ask him."

"Understood."

Zeng Yi turned and left.

He also recognized the words "nuclear bomb", but it was from hearing it from Chen Jian and others.

After witnessing the explosion, he also understood more clearly what those words signify.

This was supposed to be Yellow Stone City’s Huaxia Army’s biggest secret, but now it turns out there’s someone else in this world who knows this secret??

This is a huge threat, and threats must be dealt with!

He quickly ran into the room where Qin Yuan was temporarily detained and roughly brought him in front of Chen Jian.

Chen Jian didn’t waste words and asked directly:

"What is a nuclear bomb?"

Qin Yuan was stupefied and replied with a counter-question:

"What is a nuclear bomb?"

"You don’t know??"

Chen Jian furrowed his brows, as Zeng Yi’s long blade was already unsheathed and pressed against Qin Yuan’s neck.

At this moment, Qin Yuan saw a timer already started nearby, and he instantly understood what happened, promptly responding:

"Sir, this is not something I can know!"

"Messages from the leader may involve some forbidden knowledge, knowledge held only by the upper echelons of the Ring Chamber of Commerce."

"I am merely a messenger, I have neither the qualification nor the capability to understand such profound knowledge."

"So, I am not deliberately hiding anything."

"I really don’t know!"

His response was flawless, Chen Jian stared into his eyes, searching for any hint of a lie, but unfortunately found none.

He probably genuinely doesn’t know.

Thus, the intentions of the Ring Chamber of Commerce become quite apparent.

They want to make further, deeper contact with Yellow Stone City.

That’s why they threw out the "nuclear bomb" information, the purpose is to verify Yellow Stone City’s true depth!

The challenge must be taken.

But now Yellow Stone City is in the light, the Ring Chamber of Commerce in the dark, the situation is somewhat too passive...

This person, absolutely cannot be let go easily.

Although he is not a strong bargaining chip, he is at least a bargaining chip!

"I want all the information you have about your Chamber of Commerce - everything you know."

"Tell me and you can leave."

Qin Yuan slowly shook his head and answered:

"Sir, this deal cannot be completed."

"You can of course obtain our information, but that must be after the first transaction is completed."

"We can build a relationship of mutual trust through one transaction after another, by then, everything you want to know will have answers."

"Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won’t reveal more."

"I have ways to make you talk."

Chen Jian had anticipated his reaction and immediately said to Shen Yue:

"Prepare for interrogation."

Shen Yue nodded and walked over to Qin Yuan.

The latter recoiled two steps, then quickly said:

"If you still want to maintain cooperation between us, don’t harm me!"

"You want information, the Chamber has more information, harming me is not worth it!"

"What a joke, how do you guarantee that releasing you will ensure continued transactions?"

Chen Jian sneered:

"Everyone says your people are mysterious, and that contacting you can only be done when you seek us out."

"If I release you, I may never find you again."

"That would be too great a loss, I only want what is available in front of me."

"Tie him up."

"Shen Yue, go sterilize and prepare to act."

"No problem."

At the order, Qin Yuan was immediately tightly bound to a chair.

Xie Liu and Zeng Yi pressed down on him from the left and right, while Chen Jian squatted in front of him and began asking:

"First question: where is your headquarters?"

Qin Yuan looked in terror at the scalpel in Shen Yue’s hand, shaking his head frantically while shouting in response:

"I don’t know! I don’t know!"

"We aren’t that mysterious, you can still find us!"

"We just don’t disclose to outsiders! We have a base right in Han Shui City!"

"That’s not the answer I want."

Shen Yue looked at Chen Jian, who nodded, then.

With one cut, the skin of Qin Yuan’s index finger was completely split open from the bottom up.

The intense pain made Qin Yuan convulse uncontrollably, but Shen Yue’s actions didn’t stop there.

The nail was removed, the fingertip, where the pain receptors are most concentrated, was exposed to the air, dripping with blood.

Sweat had already formed on Qin Yuan’s forehead, he didn’t know how much longer he could hold on.

But he knew that these people’s methods were probably endless.

Only then did he finally realize, the timer didn’t just protect that piece of information but also himself...

....

An hour later.

Shen Yue washed his hands clean, walked out of the interrogation room, and said to Chen Jian:

"Nothing more can be extracted, he indeed doesn’t have control over any high-confidential information."

"He’s just a peripheral member, most of what he spilled is useless nonsense."

"I used previously acquired information about the Mimic Heretics to cross-check the intelligence he provided, it can be assessed as credible."

"As for other aspects, especially information regarding the Ring Chamber of Commerce... not very valuable."

"Headquarters is located in Guangshen, core members are estimated to be around 400, and peripheral members about 400 to 500."

"Technology is somewhat more advanced compared to the Mechanical God Sect, but limited."

"According to what he said, their guards, like ours, can use automatic weapons, but there aren’t many, and they are rarely used."

"I asked him some key fundamental theoretical questions, most of which he couldn’t answer."

"But very strangely, he knows what an atom is, what a molecule is, and can even understand the concept of electromagnetic force."

"The knowledge in this person’s head seems to be split into two halves."

"Knows the lower, knows the higher, but the middle part is completely missing."

"I can’t figure out what’s going on, this organization really is strange."

"If we want to further determine their nature and eliminate potential risks, we can only try contacting them."

"Then let’s make contact."

Chen Jian exhaled deeply and continued:

"Actually, we are the proactive side, it’s they who sought cooperation with us."

"So, this small ’offense’ against their emissary won’t change their mind."

"Return this one called Qin Yuan, let him continue to push forward the subsequent transactions, within tomorrow, I want to see their senior members appear in front of me."

"Oh, and dress his wounds, use antibiotics as well ---- just make sure he doesn’t die."

"Rest assured, he won’t die."

Shen Yue nodded and said:

"Modern interrogation techniques aren’t so easy to lead to death.... I’ll go make arrangements."

"Go ahead."

....

Half an hour later, a still-frightened Qin Yuan staggered onto the small boat Yellow Stone City prepared for him, heading towards the other side of Great Governance Lake.

His expression was in excruciating pain, and he even made up his mind that upon returning to the Chamber, he must persuade his superiors to cancel cooperation with these savages.

No, not only should cooperation be canceled, but he should also encourage the Mechanical God Sect and the Holy Blood Temple to utterly wipe them out!

Such cruel forces should not remain in this world; their only path is towards extinction!

----However.

He had no idea.

At that moment, on a concealed high ground far from the lakeshore, someone was observing his every move with an old high-powered telescope.

Upon seeing his blood-stained bandages, that person lowered the telescope and spoke with relief:

"This Yellow Stone City power is the one we are looking for."

"They are cautious and very intelligent."

"Most importantly, they understood the message conveyed by the leader."

"It’s time to report to the leader."

"Prepare to promote cooperation with them."

"Hope they... can go further than those mimics."
