Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and he who loses the hearts of the people loses the world. Reis, sooner or later you will be devoured by your brutality. You cannot be Asara's new master. Asara's master will always be the people of Asara."

If Zhang Hao were here, he would definitely be satisfied and say that his students are indeed worthy of his teaching, their posture is so upright.

"Sigh, I'm so bored. I miss Xiao Hao. When will he come to visit again? I'll carve some wooden weapons for him. I wonder if he'll like them."

Said lay sprawled on his desk like a salted fish. Ever since he hired someone to help him with those documents, Said had naturally learned the traditional skill of modern workers: "slacking off." Now, he spends all his time in the administration building and is practically becoming a mascot.

"Hey! Speaking of which, someone said his younger brother who was studying abroad was coming back to join the army. No way, Xiao Hao said, how can intellectuals go to the battlefield? If I can't reason with him, I'll see if beating him up will make him change his ways."

Just as Sayyid was lost in thought, his phone rang. Sayyid picked up the phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was a call from the long-unseen leader, the tyrant Yousef Fahim.

"Hey, Youram, what's up?"

“Said, we recently successfully destroyed a large stronghold of Hafk and seized a large amount of resources, which we will now transport to your dam. After discussion, we have decided to reopen the railway on your dam and build some large-scale commercial projects there. Do you have any thoughts on this?”

Said listened to what Yousef said with some disbelief: railways, supplies, construction!

Said: Xiao Hao, I've made something of myself! The dam is going to get rich! You'll have endless Coke to drink when you come here in the future!

"No problem, Chief, but if we want to restart railway transportation... there's the issue of funding."

"Hahaha, Saeed, you've started playing with your brains too. Don't worry, we'll pay for the railway, and we'll also pay for your part of the construction. But whether it can drive economic development is your problem, understand?"

Yusuf laughed loudly on the phone that day. He didn't expect that not long after, the man who used to only talk about seeking revenge on Hafk and Hamk had become quite shrewd. This was good news, I suppose.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Said quickly agreed, which was fantastic news for Dam Zero!

"Alright, the supplies should arrive in a few days. Remember to check them when they arrive. I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Sayed couldn't wait to share it with Zhang Hao, but seeing that it seemed to be Xiao Hao's nap time, Sayed forcibly suppressed his urge to share and decided to give Xiao Hao a surprise next time he came.

Looking at the thriving dam under his management, Said felt a sense of pride. The people under his command were now able to eat their fill every meal, everyone was united, and there were no more fights or bullying incidents like those that often occurred in Reis. Said's determination to liberate Asara grew stronger.

"Someone, bring me two pieces of wood. I'm in a good mood today, so I'm carving two toys for your strategist!"

Saeed: Waiting for Xiao Hao to praise me, hehe. (?'?`?)

Chapter 56 Recovery

After Zoya returned, everyone enjoyed a few peaceful days, and no further incidents occurred during their patrols.

But Tuesday was a day Mai Xiaowen would never forget, a day of humiliation.

"No! What makes you think I don't need Xiao Hao anymore, that I'm cured? I feel terrible right now! Roy is my doctor, get out, get out!"

At this moment, Mai Xiaowen was like a fierce little cat baring its teeth, glaring angrily at Zoya, who was about to kick her out of the outdoor peach garden. She never expected that the first fire of the new broom would burn her.

"Is Roy an idiot and you are too? Or have you been deceiving yourself and taking advantage of Xiao Hao? That's really too dangerous. Xiao Hao, you should just sleep with me."

"What do you mean? Are you doubting me? Let me tell you, Xiao Hao is closest to me here. Now you're the one trying to sow discord. Xiao Hao, you have to believe that I'm innocent. I didn't sleep here because of what she said. I just wanted to get better soon so I could take you out to play."

Seeing that Zoya seemed difficult to deal with, Mai Xiaowen quickly turned her attention to Zhang Hao, who was standing behind her, hoping that Zhang Hao would step forward and say a few "fair words" so that Zoya could only stare helplessly.

To Mai Xiaowen's despair, Zoya pushed Zhang Hao out and took him away to Luo Yi, who was waiting outside, claiming it was to check on Zhang Hao's recovery progress.

"Alright, Xiao Hao is gone now. You have two choices: either Xiao Hao will be taken care of by me and Luna each for one day starting today, or you can go back to your room and sleep quietly."

When Mai Xiaowen saw Luna standing outside the door waving her phone at her, she knew that she had finally fallen into the hands of these two old women.

"Fuck, you two old women in your thirties can't compete with me, so you start to have crooked thoughts, huh? Pah, you two are shameless. Your combined age could be Xiao Hao's grandmother. You're just jealous and resentful when you see someone young, beautiful, and gorgeous, aren't you? Humph, this time I'm just unlucky. I'll move back."

Enraged, Mai Xiaowen unleashed a torrent of abuse at the two "old women." As their faces grew increasingly dark, Mai Xiaowen sensed something was wrong and prepared to flee back to her room, only to be pinned down on the bed by the two "smiling" Zoya and Luna.

"Xiaowen, you were so good to be our obedient little sister. It must be Xiaohao who made you like this. According to the psychology I've studied, this is an illness. I'll prescribe medicine for you as your attending physician. You should be better after not seeing Xiaohao for half a month. Oh, by the way, I also learned your acupoints in China. Let me give you a good massage. After all, I'm a woman in my thirties."

Seeing Zoya's terrifying expression, Mai Xiaowen was so frightened that she hid under the covers. Unfortunately, Luna, who was next to her, pulled the covers off her as well. For the first time, Mai Xiaowen felt isolated and helpless in the Special Operations Department.

"Ah Xi, if you were in our country, daring to speak to a senior like that would be tantamount to courting death. I won't punish you this time, but my 'good sister,' I've decided to wait until you're better before we deepen our relationship."

Mai Xiaowen: ??? Xiao Hao, come back quickly and save your sister! These two bad women are going to kill me!

"Come here, let me give you a good massage. Luna, you hold her down. She's almost recovered, so don't overdo it later."

Luna: OK ╰(￣ω￣ｏ)

Mai Xiaowen: Aa ...

Zhang Hao, who was in the infirmary, also heard the screams coming from his room. He glanced at Roy, who was still examining him, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Roy, how about we go up and see what's going on?"

When Roy heard that Zhang Hao still wanted to join in the fun, he remembered the two women's ill-intentioned warning to him the night before and quickly stopped Zhang Hao from having that dangerous idea.

"You absolutely can't go, Xiaohao! Let me tell you, even though your sister Xiaowen is screaming so hard right now, she probably isn't in any pain at all, haha. Just stay here with me and be good. Your results will be out soon, and as your old friend, I have to stop you from getting into danger!"

Seeing Roy crying and sniffling, Zhang Hao gave up the idea of ​​going up to check on Mai Xiaowen and continued to lie obediently in bed waiting for the result.

Uluru, who was happily drinking in the living room, was so frightened by Mai Xiaowen's scream that he spilled his drink. He looked up at Zhang Hao's room on the second floor, sighed sympathetically, shook his head, and took another swig.

"Hey, it seems Xiaowen has met her match. Ouch, my face still hurts. Damn it, that Zoya didn't even know how to go easy on me."

Touching his still swollen face, Uluru leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the sky with utter despair. The female demon was back now, and his good days were over.

Meanwhile, in the infirmary, Roy let out a high-pitched scream after reviewing Zhang Hao's medical report:

"What the hell! Are you even human?"

The exclamation drew everyone's attention: Deep Blue in the kitchen, Terry and Red Wolf in the gym, Veelong lying in bed eating potato chips, and the two "old women" who were bullying each other.

Mai Xiaowen: Waaaaah, is the bullying over? ╥﹏╥...

After everyone arrived at the infirmary, Roy, holding the test results, exclaimed in surprise:

"Invincible! Xiao Hao is invincible! His internal injuries healed in just 5 days of rest? I even prepared a lot of medicine that would make people cry from the bitterness... cough cough, it's nothing. With this self-healing ability, Xiao Hao, you're no longer human. You can sit at the same table as Xiao Jianjian."

When everyone heard that Zhang Hao had recovered, they all crowded around and started pointing and commenting on him. Someone mischievously started tickling Zhang Hao's ticklish spot on his waist, making him roll around on the bed laughing out loud.

"What a medical miracle, Xiao Hao! You'd better protect your Uncle Roy from now on, because I'm very fragile!"

Roy, who was being silly, was kicked out of the group chat again.

Zhang Hao was still immersed in the joy of recovery when Terry, standing in the crowd, suddenly said something that brought him back to reality.

"Now that Xiao Hao's injury has healed, does that mean we can start training again? Come on, Xiao Hao, come to the gym at 7 a.m. tomorrow. I'll be training you even harder this time."

"Xiao Hao, although I'm still injured, it's time to start training for weighted running. We can't let that bastard Red Wolf look down on us."

"How could I possibly look down on Xiao Hao? Think before you speak. I simply look down on you."

"You...you just wait, Xiao Hao. Don't worry, I will definitely train you to be faster than Red Wolf with his exoskeleton. I visited the motorized infantry company back then."

Zhang Hao: 〒▽〒 I don't think my injury has healed yet, teach me, Sister Xiaowen!

Chapter 57 Awesome

Days passed by, and Zhang Hao returned to the grueling training, while our poor Mai Xiaowen's academic studies were taken over by Zoya, who claimed she was still recovering from an injury.

Mai Xiaowen: No! I don't want to be the victim!

At Dam Zero, Sayed looked at the group of people who had already integrated into his group and nodded in satisfaction.

Among these young men were a few with good learning abilities, so Sayed specially found a private tutor for them to teach them. After they finished learning, they would teach others and spread the revolutionary spirit of China from that time.

"Oh my, what Xiao Hao teaches is really good. It would have been better if the previous King Asara had been eliminated sooner. If this were in the book Xiao Hao gave us, it would probably be called 'Fighting the Landlord'."

Said lay on the dam top, flipping through the book "The Spirit of the Red Revolution" that Zhang Hao had given him. After attending a few lessons with him, Said had also learned the words in the book. Now, he likes to look through the pile of books that Zhang Hao had exchanged with 9527 when he has nothing to do.

"Sigh, it's been so long and Xiao Hao still hasn't come to play. I should give him a call, so he doesn't forget about me later."

As he spoke, Sayed took out his phone and dialed Zhang Hao's number. At that moment, Zhang Hao was carrying a large bag and running around the perimeter of the Special Operations Department with a look of utter despair on his face.

The culprit behind all this—Wei Long—was leisurely lying on a recliner, holding a timer to record Zhang Hao's speed, occasionally shouting "Accelerate! Accelerate!" before continuing to lie back and enjoy his leisurely time.

Just then, Zhang Hao's phone, which was lying to the side, rang. Wei Long picked it up and saw that it was Sayid calling, so he answered the call for Zhang Hao.

"Hey! Xiao Hao, the weather's been pretty nice these past few days. When are you coming over to visit me?"

"Said, Xiao Hao is still training. Wait a moment, I'll call him over when he runs over. By the way, do you have some good news? You sound so happy. Are you preparing a surprise for Xiao Hao?"

When Sayid heard that it wasn't Xiao Hao's voice on the phone, he immediately thought that Xiao Hao might have been kidnapped. But after listening carefully, he realized it was Wei Long's voice and was relieved.

"Hehe, this is a surprise for Xiao Hao, so I won't tell you yet. Hey, don't train Xiao Hao too hard. He's only 16. His body can't be put to such a strain all the time. Let him come here with me sometime. I promise I'll fatten him up nicely."

"Hey Lao Sai, I didn't expect you to have gone astray like this. You're even trying to kidnap Xiao Hao right under my nose. Well, are you going to class every day now?"

Hearing Wei Long's teasing, Said smiled smugly. Just kidding. Ever since he learned to read, he had been sneaking to the back of the children's classroom every day to listen to the lessons. He had also carefully read all the books Xiao Hao had given him. Said was now quite confident in his intelligence. Based on the arithmetic lessons he had overheard, his brain was probably equivalent to three Reiss's.

Reese: Damn it, I'm at a disadvantage because of my looks. Now anyone can try to scam me. Even if that piece of trash Saeed goes to school for another 3 years, he'll still be no match for me. He'll be able to take a few classes with elementary school kids and that'll be something.

"Haha, what's that old Chinese saying? 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation.' Hehe, what do you think?"

When Wei Long saw Zhang Hao running over breathlessly, he quickly called out to him.

"Sure, Xiao Hao's here. Go tell him about the surprise you prepared!"

When Zhang Hao arrived in front of Wei Long, Wei Long gave him Said's phone number and then handed the phone to Zhang Hao.

"Hey, Uncle Said, what do you need me for?"

Hearing Zhang Hao still breathing heavily on the other end of the phone, Sayed asked with concern:

"No rush, no rush, calm down first. Ugh, they're really something. Xiao Hao, why don't you come here with me? I'll protect you. Why do you need to work so hard with them every day?"

"Oh, Uncle Said, this is necessary for my growth. Didn't you say that you went crocodile hunting with your dad when you were with me for a long time? I need to practice more so that I can have the power to protect everyone in the future!"

"Alright, alright, keep up the good work. You need to do your best too. By the way, Xiao Hao, a group of people from Reis came to join us last week. They've integrated in now, and everyone has started systematic learning and training in batches. We're just waiting for you, the dam's strategist, to put them to the test."

Upon hearing that the dam's condition was improving, Zhang Hao happily offered his encouragement:

"Wow, Uncle Said, you're awesome! It seems your leadership skills have also improved. Hmm, I'll tell everyone I'm coming to visit you this weekend!"

After hearing Zhang Hao's praise, Said's face behind the mask almost blossomed into a wide smile. Upon receiving news that Zhang Hao was coming this weekend, he immediately stood up, ready to go down and prepare how to warmly welcome Xiao Hao.

"Stop, Uncle Saeed, don't make a big fuss. We don't have many resources to begin with, so let's not waste them here."

When the topic of resources came up, Sayed proudly told Zhang Hao again:

"By the way, Xiao Hao, I have some good news. Yusef, the leader of the Asara Guard, and I had a phone call recently. He said that the organization will fund the restart of the railway on the dam for foreign trade with other places, and will vigorously develop our No. 0 Dam. In a little while, we will not lack resources."

Zhang Hao was quite surprised to hear that the dam would be vigorously developed. Usually, such good things don't go to dams. Reis's Longbow Valley is obviously better than the dam guarded by Said, but this time the opportunity was given to Said. It seems that Reis's behavior has aroused dissatisfaction from above.

"Really? That's wonderful! The dam is in dire need of these right now. Uncle Said, you must seize this opportunity! I'll come over this weekend and we can discuss it in detail!"
