Chapter 16 Strong Bear - Li Kan
More than an hour later, Meng Xingchen stopped his motorcycle on a road in the suburbs and entered a woods beside the road.
Next to this woods is a small abandoned processing plant.
Nowadays, there are factories like this that go bankrupt and are slowly abandoned everywhere.
In recent years, even if many companies survived the initial R and subsequent RR, they completely collapsed and went bankrupt.
Some of them have no business and their capital chain is broken, while others have lost their factory owners and have no heirs to support the business...
Nearly one-third of the world's population has lost its lives in just three months. Even if things return to normal afterwards, the subsequent impacts may take many years to recover from.
Meng Xingchen found out "Li Kan's" number and dialed it.
About ten seconds later, the call was connected.
"Who is this?" A rough voice came from inside.
"Boss Li?" Meng Xingchen said directly, "A friend introduced me to you. He said you have the goods I want."
"Long or short?" To Meng Xingchen's surprise, the other party asked directly.
This is something Meng Xingchen has no idea how to deal with.
Are these people so arrogant now?
"We need both long and short items." Meng Xingchen asked, "How do we trade? Can I see the goods first?"
This time, the other party was silent for a moment, and then said, "Come to the gym and we'll meet. I'll only wait for you for half an hour at most."
"Which boxing gym?" Meng Xingchen asked hurriedly.
"There's only one boxing gym that's still open. You can ask." The other party said this and hung up the phone.
"..." Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Meng Xingchen felt that this world had somewhat subverted his imagination.
He turned on his mobile phone and searched for local information online.
Not only was mobile Internet access expensive at that time, but its speed and efficiency were also far inferior to the world he had traveled through.
It took him several minutes to find the location of the only boxing gym still open in Jiangnan City.
Time was running out, so Meng Xingchen walked out of the dense forest and rode his bike quickly towards the destination.
Earlier in the hospital, after the police officer left, Tiezhuang told him about the situation when he and Li Yao went to see this "Li Kan" about half a month ago.
Tiezhuang said that they met in a teahouse and the process was not complicated.
But Meng Xingchen had never expected it to be so simple.
Regardless, he had no time to waste.
Up to now, it has been almost a day since he traveled to this world, and he has not even taken the first step. This is definitely not going to work.
According to his memory, later books recorded that September of the 15th year was when the most terrifying Nirvana monster began to attack.
But he didn't dare to believe it completely.
Historical records are probably about finding a landmark event, and then classifying a series of subsequent events as a "historical process."
But if you actually lived through that historical era, you certainly couldn't completely believe the knowledge in these books.
In September, monsters launched a full-scale attack on humans from the sea, land, and air.
Unless there is a "powerful one" who personally commands and controls all the monsters on the earth, how could it happen in this way?
So Meng Xingchen felt that maybe in three months, two months, or even less than a month, big problems would arise.
……
About twenty minutes later, Meng Xingchen arrived at the sidewalk opposite a boxing gym.
Lonely Boat Boxing Gym.
"This name is quite unusual. I don't think there will be anyone with the same name as you."
Meng Xingchen glanced at the martial arts school plaque from a distance and stopped his motorcycle across the street.
Vinina's bank card is now in the trunk of the motorcycle.
He now believes that even if the card is lost and the password is known to someone, the other party can only withdraw a maximum of 20,000 yuan a day.
Now when he went to see Li Kan, he felt it was inconvenient to carry both cards with him.
Before entering the martial arts hall, one can already hear the sounds of "bang bang bang... clatter clatter..." of people hitting sandbags and various sounds of exercise with equipment.
Entering the martial arts hall, there were about 20 martial arts enthusiasts in the spacious hall, practicing with weapons, fighting, or sitting and resting. The most eye-catching thing was that at this moment, in the middle of the hall, there were seven people fighting on a not-so-big boxing ring.
To be precise, six people were surrounding a strong man in the middle who was as strong as an iron tower.
This sturdy man who was fighting six people alone was really eye-catching. Judging from his height, he must be at least two meters and one or two centimeters tall.
"Mighty Bear-Li Kan!"
At this moment, Meng Xingchen was basically able to confirm that he had found a strong man who left his name in the "Devouring the Starry Sky - Earth Chapter" in later generations.
Li Kan, the powerful bear, was one of the first "war god-level warriors" to appear and demonstrate his strength. It was for this reason that Meng Xingchen was quite impressed by him.
"My friend, are you here to exercise or apply for a membership card?" A young man who was sitting not far from the door and looked quite energetic immediately came over to greet Meng Xingchen when he saw him come in.
It seemed that most of the people here were regular customers, and when Meng Xingchen, a stranger, came over, people recognized him immediately.
"I'm looking for someone." Meng Xingchen said, "Looking for Boss Li Kan."
"Please wait a moment." The energetic young man nodded, turned around and walked quickly towards the small arena in the middle of the hall.
Meng Xingchen stood at the door, watching the seven people fighting on the small stage.
Six people surrounded one person, but the equipment they had was completely different.
The six besiegers were all wearing helmets and protective gear, but no boxing gloves.
Li Kan in the middle was wearing boxing gloves but no protective gear.
Even in such a situation, Li Kan was still obviously at ease and had the upper hand.
There was no other reason. The fists of the six young men who were besieging him seemed to cause no pain at all. Any young man who was hit by him would immediately grimace in pain.
"It seems that everyone who can become a god of war in the future has already benefited from the catastrophe."
Meng Xingchen couldn't help but think in his heart.
This is the case with the future "Strong Bear - Li Kan" in front of us, and the same is true for the "Vulture - Li Yao" who has an abnormal ability to withstand blows. Even Vinina's current physique is obviously far beyond that of ordinary people.
Meng Xingchen's Jeet Kune Do has reached the "Grandmaster Level", and now he is carefully watching Li Kan's boxing on the ring.
On the other side, the young man who ran to the side of the ring whispered something to the huge strong man above the ring.
The giant was indeed Li Kan. Upon hearing that, he glanced towards Meng Xingchen, then roared, and his boxing speed suddenly increased.
This time, the six young men who were besieging him were unable to resist.
"Bang bang..."
In less than half a minute, all six young men who were besieging them were knocked down.
“Hahaha…” Li Kan on the stage laughed loudly, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone! I’ll treat you all to a nice meal tonight!”
"Thank you, Brother Li."
"Hahaha……"
Although most of the six young men grimaced, they all agreed immediately.
Obviously, this was not the first time they had practiced fighting with Li Kan.
"Phew! Bang!"
Li Kan, who was about two meters tall, held onto the guardrail of the ring and jumped off the ring. His heavy body landed on the ground, stirring up a large circle of dust in the afternoon sunlight that shone through the window.
"You do it."
Li Kan waved to Meng Xingchen, then walked into a lounge at the back of the hall.
Meng Xingchen didn't say anything either, and walked towards the lounge.
When he walked into the lounge, Li Kan was already sitting behind a table, lighting a huge cigar.
For some reason, Meng Xingchen vaguely felt that the way Li Kan smoked a cigar was a little strange, as if he was a little uncomfortable, but he pretended to be serious and even tried to blow smoke rings into the air.
Unfortunately, it failed.
