Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The mute man was driving a farm tractor, and An Xiaohai and Bald Eagle sat in the tractor's cargo bed.

The tractor drove out of the farmhouse courtyard, turned past a small bamboo grove, and onto a mountain path, heading towards the mountaintop.

The path was a dirt road, and it was very bumpy. It was very uncomfortable to sit in the tractor's cargo bed. An Xiaohai observed the surrounding environment without making a sound and soon discovered traces of several hidden sentries.

After driving for about ten minutes, the tractor arrived at a pig farm halfway up the mountain. The pig farm seemed to be quite large, with pigs squealing all around and a strong smell of pig manure filling the air.

Whether it was psychological or not, An Xiaohai felt that the pig manure smelled a bit strange.

The mute man jumped off the tractor and rang the doorbell outside the pig farm. Soon someone came and opened the gate. Bald Eagle and the mute man led An Xiaohai into the pig farm, leaving the tractor outside the gate.

There were quite a few people in the pig farm. An Xiaohai saw more than twenty people working there, of all ages, including an old lady with gray hair.

These people all looked like honest, simple farmers.

"Brother Hai, this pig farm has been open for two years and is doing quite well. It has increased tax revenue for the town and created jobs. The town is very supportive of us. These workers are all villagers from the town, and they are all very clean."

The vulture whispered to An Xiaohai, as if introducing him to a visiting leader. An Xiaohai listened while discreetly observing his surroundings.

Bald Eagle and the mute led An Xiaohai through most of the pig farm and arrived at an iron gate.

A sign for the composting area hangs next to the iron gate. The place looks deserted, but once you go inside, you'll find that the security here is much tighter than outside.

After passing through two rows of compost pits, the group entered a large warehouse filled with all sorts of farm tools, which looked very chaotic.

The mute man called over two people, and after they moved some farm tools aside, a small iron gate appeared before them. Passing through the small iron gate, they finally entered the real drug manufacturing factory.

No one was working in the drug manufacturing plant, and it was relatively clean. An Xiaohai immediately smelled a strong, strange odor.

"We won't be operating here indefinitely. After we finish one batch, we'll wait for someone to come and take them away before we start making the next batch," the vulture explained quietly from the side.

An Xiaohai nodded slightly. "How is the sewage treated?"

"There is a stream behind this mountain, and we discharge our sewage directly into it."

We've checked carefully; this stream winds its way through the mountains and eventually flows into the river outside the town. No one will notice.

"That's still not safe," An Xiaohai frowned and shook his head. "Unless the entire stream is within our monitoring range."

Below is a farmhouse restaurant. After those people finish eating, they might go for a walk nearby. If they happen to walk to the stream and the locals notice something amiss, it will be very troublesome.

"What if we discharge sewage at night?"

"It's even less safe. If someone goes into the stream at night to catch fish, shrimp, or crabs, it will be a big problem."

"Hai-ge is right. What do you think we should do to improve?"

"Build another drainage system. The farmhouse's sewers are connected to the town, right?"

"Yes."

"That makes things easier. We can build an underground drainage channel from the pig farm directly to the agritainment business and discharge the sewage directly into the town's sewage system. Even if someone discovers it, they won't be able to find it here for a while, so everyone will have time to react."

Don't keep discharging sewage to one side at a time. This time, discharge it into the stream, and next time, discharge it into the town's drainage system. Give the stream some time to clean itself, which will be much safer.

At the same time, spend some money to set up a sewage treatment system, just say it's for treating pig farm wastewater. Don't be stingy in this regard, better safe than sorry.

I will get you a complete monitoring system and install it throughout the entire area, including along the stream behind. Don't rely entirely on hidden sentries; they are easy to spot and prone to errors. Monitoring will be much safer.

An air purification system is also necessary; the smell here is still quite strong.

"Brother Hai, the wind blows from the northwest all year round here, and we're located downwind of the town, so no one should be able to smell it."

"Don't say 'should,' say 'absolutely.' How much does an air purification system cost? Is it more important than your head? Also, all the workers here need to wear gas masks."

Look at that mute guy, he's showing signs of poisoning. These are his own brothers, they even supply the goods, they're his treasures. How can you not care about their health? If you're so careless, aren't you afraid you'll have money but no life to enjoy it later?"

"Yes, yes, what Hai-ge said is right. I will tell the higher-ups as soon as possible and resolve these issues."

"That's good," An Xiaohai said, and then started to wander around the drug manufacturing workshop. Actually, there wasn't much to see; the workshop wasn't too complicated and was easy to understand.

Perhaps sensing An Xiaohai's kindness and concern, the mute man became much warmer towards An Xiaohai, and would even take the initiative to explain the uses of some tools to An Xiaohai in his own words.

An Xiaohai could barely understand his sign language and could only rely on Bald Eagle to translate. Bald Eagle's performance made An Xiaohai even more wary.

The vulture might not be as useless as it appears. The reason it seems so weak in front of me is probably because it has received orders from above and doesn't dare to confront me directly.

The tour of the drug manufacturing plant was completed quickly.

"Where are the ingredients? I don't see any ingredients."

"The raw materials are not here. We have a warehouse on the other side of town where the raw materials are stored."

We've stockpiled a lot of raw materials over the past two years. Even without replenishment, we can maintain operations for six months to a year without any problems!

An Xiaohai raised an eyebrow slightly: "How many kilograms does this place produce in a month?"

"Kilograms? Heh," the vulture chuckled smugly. "If we go all out, it won't be measured in kilograms, it'll be measured in tons!"

That's why we're seeking cooperation with Brother Hai. Everyone knows that Shenhai City is now Brother Hai's domain. With Brother Hai leading us, we're sure to achieve great things!

"Very good, that's enough. We've seen enough here. Dumb guy, take me to the toilet."

The mute man nodded and led An Xiaohai to the toilet. After An Xiaohai finished using the toilet, he took out a cigarette at the toilet door, and the mute man immediately lit it for him.

An Xiaohai gave the mute man a cigarette, and seeing that the mute man was enjoying it, he simply gave him the rest of the pack. The mute man didn't stand on ceremony and put the cigarette away.

After visiting the factory, they returned to the farmhouse, a total of 55 minutes later. Wild Man and his men had already taken out their guns, but they put them away only after seeing An Xiaohai return safely.

The vulture also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere improved considerably afterward. An Xiaohai ordered two more tables of food and invited all his brothers over for a meal. After the meal, they rested for a while before setting off again for the second drug manufacturing plant.

This time, An Xiaohai didn't bring as many people. He had the Wild Man pick two brothers to follow, while the rest went with Acha. Bald Eagle also relaxed his vigilance and didn't change vehicles along the way.

In the early hours of the next day, An Xiaohai arrived at the second drug manufacturing plant. After touring it and offering a lot of suggestions, everyone immediately headed to the third drug manufacturing plant without resting.

The third drug manufacturing plant was quite far away, west of Shenhai City. The convoy almost circled the border of Haidong Province before finally arriving.

After visiting the third drug manufacturing plant, the group returned to Deepsea City on the morning of the 31st.

Bald Eagle led An Xiaohai and the others to a hotel. After arranging accommodations for the savages, he led An Xiaohai into the largest suite on the top floor.

"Brother Hai, this is our place. You can stay here without worry. I'll arrange for Hongyan to meet you right away."

"Is Hongyan your boss? Does he have the final say?"

"He's the one who calls the shots, Hai-ge, feel free to talk to him," Bald Eagle clapped his hands, and immediately a waiter brought in a tray with An Xiaohai's cell phone, Buddha-face necklace, and his Glock G17 on it.

An Xiaohai put the pistol back into its holster, picked up the necklace and put it around his neck. The necklace was covered with a special thin film, probably for signal shielding.

"Brother Hai, please don't remove the thin film on the necklace for now."

"I know, you go and ask Hongyan to go. I'm a little tired today and need to get some sleep. You'd better ask her to go tomorrow."

"Okay, I haven't slept well for two days, and I'm exhausted. Let's make it for tomorrow then, noon or evening?"

"Let's meet for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I'll go first then. Hai-ge, you can tell the waitresses anything you need. It's fine to have them serve you. They're all specially trained by us and are very skilled."

An Xiaohai glanced at the waitress and then realized that she was very beautiful: "No need, I'm not interested in these things. Let's finish our business first."

"Brother Hai is indeed Brother Hai, I admire you!" Bald Eagle said, and left with the waiter.

An Xiaohai picked up his phone and checked it. Sure enough, there was no signal. There must be a signal jamming device installed here. Even if he went to the balcony, it would be the same.

This hotel should be a very important base for the Flying Bird Gang. Without meeting with Hongyan, it will be difficult to leave.

An Xiaohai smiled slightly, took a quick shower, and lay down on the bed. He was indeed very tired and needed to sleep to maintain his best condition.

Security Department Temporary Command Center in Deep Sea City

Mai Xiaoyu hung up the phone: "Boss, Xiao Hu reports that An Xiaohai and his group entered the Jin Xin Hotel. Should we notify Captain Zhou to monitor the area?"

"No," 073 shook his head. "It's not time yet. We're just one step away. We mustn't alert them. Let Little Tiger retreat a bit further away. Don't get too close, or we'll expose ourselves."

"Yes, should we notify Director Zhou?"

"Let's postpone it for now. Stick to the original plan and inform Director Zhou when they start making moves. The situation on their end is a bit complicated..."

"OK."

073 stood there for a moment, then walked out of the temporary command post, picked up his binoculars, and looked out at the Zhongzhen Petrochemical Industrial Zone, which stretched as far as the eye could see.

"An Zhehao has already had one hand severed, and he will likely have another one severed tomorrow. Then, the two little devils he values ​​most will also disappear completely..."

Is this guy going crazy? ..."
