Chongyue left in a great hurry.
Even though Xia Yu said that those were matters of the future, and everything was still uncertain.
But he still left without looking back.
As if having made some kind of resolve.
"No, I think big brother was simply provoked."
Nian looked at her eldest brother's hurried back and sighed.
"My Little Bailu, you really know so much..."
"Do I? It's alright, actually," Xia Yu smiled faintly. "By the way, is Dahuang City undergoing a Mobile City transformation right now?"
"Ah?" Hearing this, Nian was stunned for a moment. "There seems to be such a thing. They did come looking for me, but I refused. It's just transforming a Mobile City, it's not that big of a deal."
Besides, big sister Shu was there. If she went... Eww~~~
She'd be nagged to death by that mother hen.
"What, is something wrong in Dahuang City?"
"Nothing major," Xia Yu said casually. "It's just that there's a corpse polluted by a Demon buried underneath. If things go wrong, your sister will probably have to die once to neutralize its threat."
"You call that nothing major?!" Hearing this, Nian stood up abruptly. "What do you mean if things go wrong, big sister Shu will have to die once?"
"Don't worry, she knows what she's doing," Xia Yu lowered her head and recalled. "She buried that corpse with her own hands, how could she not know?"
"No, if that's the case..." Hearing this, the corner of Nian's mouth twitched. 'I'm afraid big sister Shu really wants to...'
After all, if it was someone she buried with her own hands... she would definitely back herself into a corner over it.
She was, after all, the gentlest sister.
"No, I have to go to Dahuang City and take a look." Nian couldn't sit still anymore.
She had already lost one sister and couldn't bear the cost of losing another.
"See that bar?" Hearing this, Xia Yu pointed it out to her, The Ends of the Earth. "That's Penguin Logistics' headquarters. I just commissioned them to help me deliver some things to your farming sister."
"You can go with them."
And take my gift along while you're at it.
"Deliver things? What things?" Hearing this, Nian looked curiously in the direction of the bar.
"Seeds," Xia Yu sighed. Einstein was really too meticulous, making her not know what to do with those seeds. "Very good seeds."
To just eat the seeds as food... that would be too much of a waste. To take them out and let people plant them?
That didn't seem to work either. Heaven knows what would happen if good seeds from Earth were planted in Terra, so they absolutely couldn't be disposed of casually.
Giving them to professionals now was also a good choice, and she could establish a connection with them.
"That is indeed something big sister Shu would like," Nian nodded.
"So, Little Bailu, I'm really getting more and more curious about your origins," she crouched down and looked into Xia Yu's eyes. "You really seem to know everything."
"I do know a lot of things," Xia Yu nodded upon hearing this, speaking without any hesitation. "This world is already completely messed up."
She made all this commotion in Lungmen just to lay the groundwork in advance for her upcoming plans.
When she went to other places later, the appearance of other identities wouldn't be so abrupt.
Next was the crucial link in the plan.
Kazdel... Kazdel...
Sigh.
Nian left in a great hurry.
Even though Xia Yu said there was still a long time, many years in fact, she didn't stop her steps.
As if having made some kind of... Uh, well, not quite.
Xia Yu looked at her back, shook her head, and turned to look at the Nightstmayer to the side.
"You, drive me home."
"Uh... Miss Bailu," hearing this, the Nightstmayer Old Chen said with a bitter face, "I still have a mission..."
"Your superior will be considerate of you." Xia Yu didn't care about what mission or not. Weren't all of your missions just to keep an eye on me anyway?
Old Chen was speechless.
So he could only bitter-facedly lead Xia Yu to his car parked in the alley, and respectfully open the car door.
Then he drove Xia Yu all the way towards Chen Huijie's home.
"Um, Miss Bailu," halfway there, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, "are you really not going to stay in Lungmen?"
"Stay for what?" Xia Yu tilted her head upon hearing this. "Do you really want to follow me around doing coolie labor at all times?"
Coolie labor? Sigh, how could her words be so harsh?
He was, at the very least, a Nightstmayer, the backbone of the Department of Sui Affairs...
However, for the person in front of him, if she wanted to casually boss him around... he really had to comply.
Who told her to casually drop earth-shattering secrets with every word?
Getting along with this person, one really had to pay attention to their heart. Without a big heart, they really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Even that Grandmaster, who could remain unfazed if a mountain collapsed before him, could only leave in a hurry when faced with that shocking news.
Sigh, why was he so ill-fated to be assigned such a mission?
Old Chen felt like he needed a pair of ears that hadn't heard the conversation just now.
What world-ending Catastrophe, what Originium engulfing the earth, were those things he was allowed to know?
But what's done is done. If she wanted to commandeer his car, could he even refuse?
Moreover, the Grandmaster had left in a hurry, and there was one thing he hadn't had time to ask.
"After all, you've treated so many patients in Lungmen," Old Chen asked cautiously. "Your reputation has already spread throughout the surrounding areas. Soon, a large number of Infected will come drawn by your name..."
"I can't save them," hearing this, Xia Yu shook her head. "Or rather, I can't save everyone."
"Although I am a Doctor, when treating these people, I've never used medical skills. That Arts can only alleviate their condition."
"To completely cure them... I don't have that ability."
"Hey, being able to alleviate it is already a miracle." Hearing this, Old Chen was stunned for a moment, then carefully glanced at the Doctor in the backseat through the rearview mirror.
That tiny Doctor had her head lowered, looking very depressed.
"Before you, I had never heard of anyone who could pull back late-stage Oripathy patients. That was someone whose body had half turned to stone!"
"What's the use of curing him now?" Xia Yu shook her head. "His condition will stage a comeback in the future."
"Then at least they lived a few more years, didn't they?" Old Chen was quite open-minded upon hearing this. "It's already a great gain, alright? After all, with things like diseases... who can reason with them?"
"But as a Medical practitioner, I can't just watch all this happen." Hearing this, Xia Yu looked out the window. "Kazdel... there, perhaps we can find the answer to everything."
"Uh, it's no use telling me all this," hearing this, Old Chen caught her underlying meaning, then shrunk his neck. "I'm just an ordinary Nightstmayer, not some big shot..."
"Let's just pretend that's the case." Xia Yu gave him a side-glance upon hearing this. Hah, a Nightstmayer who could move alongside Chongyue being 'ordinary'.
"For these Infected in Lungmen, I asked someone to open a few companies to find them a livelihood," Xia Yu said softly. "You guys won't find it troublesome, right?"
"Not troublesome, not troublesome at all. How could you say that," Old Chen's face was full of smiles upon hearing this. "You've solved a huge problem for Lungmen. After all, there are still relatively few factories that take in the Infected. Over a hundred thousand Infected directly flooding the labor market... Lungmen would have a headache too."
"The way I see it, Chief Executive Wei should give you a medal!"
"Oh, right. My company mainly does multinational trade," Xia Yu continued. "The target countries are tentatively Ursus and Kazdel. No problem with that, right?"
"No problem, of course there's no problem," Old Chen immediately said. "Lungmen is an open trading port. As long as everything is legal and compliant, then of course there's no problem."
"It's just that, forgive me for speaking out of turn," he once again looked at the Doctor in the backseat through the rearview mirror. "Ursus is one thing, but that place Kazdel..."
Old Chen's face showed some difficulty. "It's just that, well, the local customs are relatively, uh, unsophisticated..."
"You mean ferocious, right?" Xia Yu smiled upon hearing this.
"Right, ferocious, exactly ferocious. Sigh, I don't know why I couldn't think of the word for a moment," Old Chen slapped his forehead. "Kazdel's local customs are ferocious, and they're dirt poor. If you want to do business there..."
"Forgive me for being blunt, are you really not afraid of losing money?"
"Do I look like a merchant to you?" Xia Yu directly asked a question in reply upon hearing this.
"A merchant? No, of course you don't look like one," hearing this, Old Chen shook his head repeatedly. "If you were a merchant, you wouldn't be sitting in my car right now, planning to go to Kazdel to find a cure for Oripathy. Instead, you'd be talking eloquently on a TV program, starting to sell medicines, books, and everything that could make money."
"Yes, I am not a merchant," Xia Yu nodded. "So, my requirement for those companies is just to break even."
"Money? I don't need money. I have no interest in money."
"If someone else said that, I definitely wouldn't believe it. Where in the world is there a person who doesn't love money," hearing this, Old Chen complimented. "But if you say it, I believe it."
"It's just... with Kazdel's ferocious local customs, I think that instead of buying, they might lean more towards..."
"Robbing, right?" Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled. "No need to be so euphemistic. I'm very clear on the situation with the Sarkaz."
"So wouldn't it be a bit... for you to head straight to Kazdel?" Old Chen asked, his face full of concern.
"I don't really have any combat power myself," Xia Yu shrugged. "But I have enough sisters. As long as I yell, anyone around who dares to raise a weapon against me will die!"
Glamoth veterans wouldn't bicker with you.
They'd start straight away with scorched-earth operations.
"Otherwise, how could I be so ostentatious?" She smiled very easily. "An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. Just from treating illnesses these past few days, I don't know how many eyes have fallen on the Vision in my hands."
"I'm not blind, I can see it clearly."
"Then I can only wish that you find what you're looking for in Kazdel," hearing this, Old Chen stopped the car and said very respectfully.
"I'll borrow your good wishes." Xia Yu pushed the car door open. She had already arrived downstairs at Chen Huijie's apartment building.
"Is that... Mudrock?"
.......
Our big Sarkaz girl was a bit uneasy.
Mainly because wanting to enter the downtown area in her suit of armor was truly a bit...
After all, they were still in a standoff with the LGD yesterday.
So today's Miss Mudrock was in a long-unseen casual clothes form!
As for why she would appear here?
That was another story.
At this moment, she was standing in place, looking around very vigilantly.
Mainly because the girl was so pretty, but was a Sarkaz... People coming and going from north to south couldn't help but take a glance.
Right now, she wasn't yet that warrior who led a squad to fight everywhere in the future. The fledgling Mudrock shouldn't have been the one taking charge.
But unfortunately, the old Captain who brought everyone out to work didn't survive in Ursus. There weren't many old members left either. Among the dozens of people, most were Rookies venturing out for the first time.
And the reason she had a say was entirely because back when they managed to make it out of Ursus alive, it was all thanks to Mudrock's Arts Colossus taking the vanguard and leading everyone to break through the encirclement.
After escaping the encirclement, looking at the scarred and battered squad, Mudrock naturally chose the nearest non-Ursus city on the map to rest and reorganize.
There was no need to mention the Rookies; the old Mercenaries also began to tacitly gather around her.
The Sarkaz's rules were just like that. Whoever had the biggest fists, whoever could lead everyone to survive, was the boss.
But this boss Mudrock... really didn't have much experience.
"Waiting for me?" Xia Yu tilted her head up to look at the uneasy Miss Mudrock.
So big... Pah, so tall.
Sigh, Bailu's tiny stature... Tsk.
"Doctor!" Mudrock finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her. "I came to ask you about the upcoming itinerary."
After all, she had hired the entire squad.
"Alright, let's go. We'll talk at home." Hearing this, Xia Yu took her and went straight into Chen Huijie's home, not treating herself as an outsider in the slightest.
"Sit. Right, what would you like to drink... Tsk, forgot this is Xiao Chen's home. This boring person doesn't have any beverages in her house." Xia Yu pulled out her precious gourd and poured a cup of Loong Balm for Mudrock.
"This... this is too precious." Just by smelling the aroma, Mudrock knew this wine couldn't be cheap. Since when did a Sarkaz ever receive this kind of treatment?
"What else can I do? I only have this stuff on hand." Xia Yu shrugged. "I can't just give a guest boiled water when they come to visit. Oh, Xiao Chen doesn't even have mineral water at home. Even boiled water has to be boiled on the spot from the tap!"
It couldn't be helped. Workaholics who treat their workplace as their home were just like that.
There was probably nothing in this apartment, and just having a single bed wouldn't affect her living there.
"O-okay." Where had Mudrock ever received such treatment in the past? She could only pick up the cup and take a sip.
Delicious!
"Right, you were asking about the itinerary, weren't you?" Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction. "If possible, I want to set off tomorrow. What do you think about your squad..."
"There's no problem on our end." Mudrock nodded hurriedly upon hearing this. "We came to Lungmen to treat the wounds of a few heavily injured brothers. As a result, you, Doctor, directly cured them. Now they can already pick up their blades."
"The squad's supplies are also fine. Although there is no formal route from Lungmen to Kazdel, there are quite a few tribes along the way, so we don't need to worry about the supply issue."
"It's just... Doctor, are you really not going to reconsider?"
