43: Jiatlov died, their gift to you! 2/5

Li Xiangzhe was now over sixty years old. Although his hair was gray, he was still full of vigor and walked with a spring in his step.

"Wu Tian!"

"Dr. Li!"

Li Xiangzhe and Wu Tian exchanged smiles.

They shook hands gently.

Although it was their first meeting, they didn't feel distant at all; in fact, there was a strange sense of familiarity.

"How are you?"

"Can your body still handle it?"

Li Xiangzhe didn't care about the radiation that the latter might be carrying; he gently patted his shoulder and asked with concern.

Wu Tian was startled.

Then he smiled and nodded.

"What's the problem?"

"This much radiation still can't harm me."

Although he didn't say it aloud, Wu Tian's heart was filled with a faint sense of gratitude.

After he came out of Chernobyl, Li Xiangzhe's first words to him weren't to ask for information.

Instead, he was concerned about his physical condition.

This was enough to prove that in Li Xiangzhe's heart, he was far more important than these documents worth thirty million!

Who else could do this?

"These documents..."

Wu Tian reached for the backpack behind him, preparing to hand it to Li Xiangzhe.

Li Xiangzhe merely nodded faintly.

"Come in first; let's talk!"

Wu Tian was startled.

"Alright!"

Wu Tian followed a group of people into a small conference room in the hotel. After they were seated, Li Xiangzhe, Wu Feng, and Zhang Meng sat opposite him.

Standing beside them were several Dragon Soul warriors ensuring their safety.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wu Tian handed all the documents he had obtained from the control room of Reactor No. 4 to Li Xiangzhe.

After selecting some key documents, Li Xiangzhe returned the remaining, less important documents to Wu Tian.

These were to be sold at a high price to Bear Country, who knew nothing!

Li Xiangzhe smiled faintly.

"Little friend Wu Tian, this exploration should be over, right?"

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Uh..."

"This... I haven't really planned it out yet."

Wu Tian gave a wry smile.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to answer the question, but his first mission hadn't been completed yet; he still needed to stay in Pripyat to achieve his Target.

As for the next location... honestly, Wu Tian didn't know either.

"It's alright."

Li Xiangzhe chuckled.

"You can tell me when you have an idea, or you can tell Captain Wu Feng. Whether it's support in terms of supplies, technology, or even personnel, it's all possible!"

"Please don't be shy!"

"Okay."

Wu Tian nodded.

"If I need anything, I will definitely ask."

Although he didn't refuse, Wu Tian also didn't agree.

Because apart from theFat Man, who was a somewhat useful mascot, the others were truly of no use and would even drag him down.

So... Wu Tian didn't plan to add any more teammates.

At least, not for now... Just as they were chatting, the conference room door was gently pushed open by a Dragon Soul warrior.

"Brother Wu Tian."

"Gatilov is here!"

"He's waiting for you in the reception hall!"

"Oh?"

Wu Tian was startled.

He immediately stood up and, led by the Dragon Soul warrior, walked towards the reception hall.

Li Xiangzhe and the others behind him quickly followed.

They were also very curious about the conversation between Wu Tian and Gatilov!

Wu Tian quickly followed the Dragon Soul people into the reception hall. Before pushing open the door, he had actually speculated about what Gatilov looked like.

Pale, gaunt?

Or pot-bellied, greasy, and slovenly?

At worst, he might be a repulsive old man with a hooked nose!

But... when he actually saw Gatilov, Wu Tian's mouth widened.

"What the heck?"

"Gatilov?"

"Who did your hair? It's too trendy!"

"The Godfather of Trends!"

Gatilov, who was sitting on the sofa, looked a bit disheveled, with two dark circles under his eyes.

But... the most striking thing was his hair!

Gatilov's hair looked as if it had been blown up by a firecracker, scattering in all directions, coupled with the sinister smile on his face.

He looked exactly like a clueless idiot from a short video!

"Hmph!"

"Stop talking nonsense to me!"

Gatilov's face darkened.

Wu Tian's words reminded him of the unpleasantness of being electrocuted last night, and his mouth twitched involuntarily!

But when he thought of the purpose of his visit today, he forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart.

"Do you think that if you find the truth of that year and prove that I was the culprit, I will receive the punishment I deserve?"

Wu Tian smiled and retorted, "Won't you?"

"Naive!"

Gatilov smiled arrogantly.

"There's evidence, and I can plead guilty, but at most, I'll only be sentenced to life imprisonment."

"Compared to those who have already died, I can still live!"

"What you've done is of no great use!"

"Little Host!"

"So arrogant?"

Wu Tian's expression didn't change; he continued to smile faintly.

"Is there really no one in this world who can deal with you?"

"What do you think?!"

Gatilov looked at Wu Tian, who was smiling throughout, and became even more arrogant.

"Not only that!"

Gatilov shouted in front of everyone.

"I've also accumulated a huge amount of wealth over the years. Although this wealth cannot prevent me from going to prison, however..."

"I will use all my money to hire assassins to kill you!"

Gatilov made a throat-slitting gesture towards Wu Tian.

"Just prepare to die!"

"Oh?"

"You want to kill me?"

Wu Tian's expression seemed a little surprised.

"Are you scared?"

Gatilov smiled ferociously.

"It's good that you're scared!"

"Only if you're scared..."

Gatilov walked up to Wu Tian, pointed at the latter's nose, and roared arrogantly!

"Only then will you know that some things are not for you to meddle with!"

"You're just a small Host!"

"A lowly bug, I can crush you with one hand!"

"How dare you do this?!"

"Who gave you the right?!"

"You're asking for death!"

Wu Feng's eyes were bloodshot. If Gatilov wasn't to be tried by the United Nations, he would have loved to pull out his pistol and shoot this insane, incredibly arrogant beast!

"So what if I'm asking for death?"

Gatilov was like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

"I'm standing right in front of you."

"Do you... dare to kill me?!"

Suddenly, Wu Tian, who had been smiling all along, chuckled softly and walked directly in front of Gatilov.

Under the latter's uncertain gaze, Wu Tian forcibly shoved something into the latter's palm.

Then he smiled ferociously.

He whispered into Gatilov's ear, "This is a gift from those people who asked me to bring it to you!"

"They... miss you!"

Gatilov was startled, then looked down at the object in his hand!

When he saw what was in his hand... his pupils instantly contracted to pinpricks!

"This is graphite?!"

"Yes!"

Wu Tian sneered and tightly gripped Gatilov's fist, crushing the piece of graphite, laden with massive radiation, into powder in the latter's palm!

"Hurry up."

Wu Tian said like a demon.

"Don't make them wait too long!"

(The Chernobyl arc is complete; a new journey is about to begin!)
