Chapter 250: The Arrival of the Goods

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment the cruise docked, the new batch of supernatural realm visitors stepped on the ladder and climbed down from the ship noisily.

On the dock, 20 to 30 soldiers dressed in uniforms were telling the prohibited things on Shrimp B1 Island in an auto-pilot mode through their loudspeakers with a serious expression. “Everyone, please note that the sand on the beach is sharper than a razor so it’s better to not hurt yourself out of curiosity. Please don’t point at the natives in the gathering place to avoid unnecessary disputes. The food sold in the gathering place is harmless, but if any of you show any strong allergic symptoms, it is best to go to the Western District Hospital and go through some allergen screening first before you eat…”

Most of the visitors who came to Shrimp B1 Island would instinctively follow the warnings of the soldiers and carefully walked on the beach. When they saw the aborigines in the distance, they did not dare to look at them too much despite their curiosity. However, there were also more than ten people who seemed to have lived on the island for a while and had returned after leaving who ignored the warnings of the soldiers.

A young man wearing an old blue denim shirt and a cowboy hat on his head quietly bent down and gently picked up some sand from the beach, before explaining to a skinny yet energetic ordinary-looking middle-aged man by his side with great effort. “Mr. Edison. The sands on Shrimp B1 Island is very sharp. I’ve seen an unlucky poor fat man whose face became cheese after he fell down. However, this sand is not as dangerous as the soldiers said, they won’t injure a person just by touching it. And those aborigines are actually very simple. Other than those who have feathers on their heads who possess a hot temper, the others will not randomly start a conflict with us…”

At this moment, a soldier not far away saw the young man holding the sand unruly but he only warned through words, “Mister, I’ve just said that the sand here is very dangerous…”

He would not stop them forcefully at all

Upon hearing the warning, the young man shrugged and threw away the sand on his fingers before flashing a smile. “If I clap my hands now, my palms will definitely bleed. Oh yeah! You’ve also seen the soldier’s attitude just now. Just like what I’ve said onboard, the human gathering place on Shrimp B1 Island is a free world. Even though the annoying warnings, horrifying warning slogans are everywhere, nobody will actually force you to do anything.”

“Mr. Lorraine, It seems like you know this big island really well. Alright, I’ve decided to hire you on behalf of Bluestone Company.” When the skinny man saw that the young man was not bragging, he patted his shoulder hard and caused a layer of dust to fly off the old denim.

“The annual salary is tentatively set at 80,000 USD. We can talk slowly about the specific conditions.”

Based on the age and dressing of this young man named Lorraine, it was incredible that he could get a job with an annual salary of 80,000 USD. However, in just a short span of two hours, this incredible thing actually happened more than ten times around Zhang Lisheng.

This was no doubt the omen of big companies and groups starting to extend their claws truly into the Shrimp B1 Island. It was apparent that the magnates were integrating their human resources on the supernatural realm’s island by means of a large fishing net so all of those slightly experienced pioneers were gradually becoming popular.

Not only that, when Zhang Lisheng walked out of the beach in silence, when he took in a breath of wet air on the streets of the gathering place that was like a medieval city and was about to walk into the bunker, he was also blocked by the recruiters.

“Young man, I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time. You boarded the ship alone and throughout the journey, you have been silent and it’s obvious that you’re…”

Zhang Lisheng looked at the middle-aged white man in front of him and suddenly smiled. “I’m the host of Stanford University’s Biology Lab on Shrimp B1 Island.”

“Are you kidding me?” The middle-aged man, along with everyone in his team, became stunned.

“Of course not, sir! You do indeed have good judgment. I can affirm that I understand this big island under our feet better than anyone else. Unfortunately, I can’t work for you.” Zhang Lisheng spread his hand and bypassed the middle-aged man. He shuttled around the street looking left and right, before finally coming across the concrete room where a white-headed eagle flag was hung and entering it.

There were several non-commissioned officers on duty in the empty room. The tall black sergeant who was sitting at the only desk and staring into the computer stood up. “Good afternoon, Mr. Zhang Lisheng.”

“Oh! Good afternoon, Sergeant!” Zhang Lisheng saw the sergeant who helped register for him and Steven when they first entered the bunker so he smiled immediately. “What a pleasant surprise!”

“That’s right! At the very least, you’ve saved the trouble of explaining.” Despite saying so, the black sergeant still scanned Zhang Lisheng’s face with the scanner in accordance with the rules.

After confirming that everything was correct, he finally saluted. “Welcome to Shrimp B1 Island, you may enter now.” Then, he pressed the knob hidden under the office desk that opened the entrance to the bunker.

“Thank you, Sergeant. I still have one thing to trouble you. Due to the laboratory attack on the island, Professor Steven will stay in New York for the time being so Stanford’s biological laboratory will be supported by me during this period of time. For this reason, my identification will have to be changed as well.”

“Oh, this is very easy! Give me the authorization file and I can just do the filing.”

“That’s great.” Zhang Lisheng took out his mobile phone and opened the electronic file authorization file sent by his supervisor before handing it to the black sergeant.

The sergeant connected the phone to the computer and soon made an identity change for the young man. Then, he handed the phone back to him. “It’s done, Mr. Zhang Lisheng. I think you’re the youngest person who has B-level privilege on the island, although some of them are still limited.”

“Is that so? Thank you, Sergeant!” Zhang Lisheng took the phone and walked into the inner room. Then, he entered the bunker along the lower spiral passage in the hole.

In the following days, he stayed in the lab obediently and spent his days and nights cultivating the witchcraft’s secret method. On the fifth day, the batch of so-called ‘experimental materials’ mixed with large quantities of private goods arrived at the island.

It was noon but the sky was covered with clouds. The sea breeze mixed with moisture in the cold air made people feel uncomfortable.

After transporting the ‘experimental material’ that was filled in an entire container down from the ship by relying on an unloading crane, the major in charge of receiving items on the gathering place’s port frowned as he looked at the list of goods.

“100 kilograms of SA nucleotides and their derivatives; two hundred kilograms of T enzyme, C coenzyme…” As he muttered to himself, he shifted his gaze onto the young Asian man wearing a wrinkled white coat whose face was covered with stubble. “Dr. Zhang Lisheng, even though I don’t understand what these things are, don’t you think there are just too much of them?”

“Too much of them? How can you have such a thought, Major?” Zhang Lisheng said in a daze. “The biochemical reagents are formed through concentration. Moreover, sometimes, for the sake of experimentation, the experimental materials would have to be directly immersed in the experiment. Try to imagine it! How many materials would it take to corrode an alive supernatural realm’s monkey who has a size similar to an adult’s body till we can observe the muscle fiber with our naked eyes?”

“Urgh, alright! Dr, there’s no need to explain it in detail. Ever since the new commander of the gathering place took over, all of the delivery expenses of the supplies is born by yourself. You can ship anything to the island. It’s completely your freedom as long as it doesn’t stuff your lab till it’s too full.” It was apparent that the sturdy major who had spent half of his lifetime doing a civilian post for the army did not have a heart that was as rough as his appearance. When he heard the young man’s description, he shook his head disgustingly and handed the list to Zhang Lisheng.

“Don’t worry, Major! I can place the harmless materials among these materials in the LS Group’s warehouse on the island first. Only some of the highly toxic chemicals are needed to be transported to the laboratory for storage.”

“LS Group? Don’t tell me that you’re that greedy vulture?!” Upon hearing the young man’s name, the major whose hometown was in Los Angeles and who had just returned to the island yesterday stared at him in a dumbstruck manner and said, “Oh sh*t! Stanford Biological Lab… No wonder I kept finding it to be strange! You are him! You must be him…”

“What vulture do you mean?” Zhang Lisheng did not expect Emerson’s threat to have already reached a level where even the US soldiers stationed in the supernatural realm would know in just the span of five days. Stunned, he asked knowingly.

Upon seeing the haggard face and the unkempt manner of the young man, it was really difficult for the officer to associate him with a billionaire. “It’s nothing, Doctor. How should I say this? Well, this is a little hard to explain. In short, I’ve misunderstood a little before this but now I think that you must not be a bad person. But, hmm, but this is a l-little strange.”

“Strange? You said that I’m strange?” Zhang Lisheng grinned. “But I think you guys who are working here on this island that is called as the ‘natural science paradise’ are even more strange for having a scowl every day. Oh, that’s right, Major! Can you ask your men to help transport these experimental materials to the warehouse? I’m willing to pay. ”

“Of course, Doctor! The freight that you’ve prepaid already includes the transportation cost on this island so you don’t need to pay extra…”

“In that case, I’ll spend all of the brothers here to have a meal of roasted veal, fried pork chop, a bottle of cold beer, and a good cigar. You guys have really helped me a lot by transporting these for me so I must show my gratitude!” Zhang Lisheng looked at the container not far away and waved his hand.

At the beginning when the human gathering place on Shrimp B1 Island was still under construction, due to the reason that the supplies on the island could only be transported from New York to the island, it was still easy for them to get their hands on meat on Earth.

However, ever since the discovery of more and more food sources on the island, ordinary cows, sheep, and pigs have become precious due to the high cost of transportation so they had been crossed out from the island’s soldiers’ recipes. For this reason, his words immediately elicited a burst of cheers.
