Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

The seed field standard for second-generation Originium Mutated Rice is 0.5 to 1 infection degree. If the infection degree is too high, the rice's growth will be restricted, resulting in abnormal growth. If the concentration exceeds this, the rice will become unstable, causing crystal explosions.

Lu Yuan studied and recorded at the same time.

"No ordinary fertilizers... No need for pest control... No water..."

"The Originium concentration in the fields is adjusted every three days..."

Lu Yuan watched the experiment again and again, using catalytic water droplets to accelerate the growth process, and differentiating the details of the experiment again and again.

Trying to write a complete instruction manual for growing the [Second Generation Originium Mutated Rice] without any omissions.

In this way, Lu Yuan worked hard on his research in the laboratory. Once the system points were sufficient, he would go all in and cultivate the third generation of Originium rice.

on the contrary.

The members of the Minliang Association are also working hard outside. As more and more farmers are getting new crops and learning new technologies.

The new round of bumper harvests, mainly potatoes, has seen its output leap to the highest level in Ursus' history, even in history.

The moment this news reached the Ursus Palace.

Emperor Fyodor and Speaker Witte, who were a little troubled by the deep sea, also laughed sincerely.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! This quarter's grain harvest is so abundant! Not only has it significantly reduced grain prices in several cities, including Saint Jun Castle, but it has also significantly increased farmers' incomes."

"The proportion of urban residents' food expenses to their total income is significantly lower than before. It may seem like a slight decrease, but in reality, it leaves people with extra money to spend!"

In the palace, the Minister of Agriculture, with a flushed face, held a wine glass in one hand and excitedly talked about the situation of this quarter. This was the first positive development since he took over as Minister of Agriculture.

"This is all thanks to Mr. Lu."

Fyodor raised his glass and said with emotion.

"Mr. Lu is like Shennong descending to earth, sowing high-quality crops and teaching the people how to farm. This is an honor for us Ursus!"

"This is also the wisdom of your majesty! He was able to invite a great man like Mr. Lu!"

Listen to the praise from people below.

Fyodor still had a more or less radiant look on his face.

Originally, Fyodor invited Lu Yuan to the celebration banquet. After all, Lu Yuan was the biggest contributor to the great harvest.

But Lu Yuan did not come to attend because he was busy.

Only a few of the most important officials from the pro-imperial faction came to the palace.

but...

While happy events should be celebrated, other things also need to be considered.

After celebrating the great harvest, several other important imperial officials left.

The only people left in the palace were Fyodor, Speaker Witte and Leonia, the commander of the Central Army Group.

"Your Majesty, the Internal Guards have been searching Duke Reina's territory for many days, including the underground buildings, but have found nothing unusual. Of course, they haven't found Duke Reina either."

"It's as if he just vanished from the face of the earth."

Speaker Witte immediately reported the known situation to Emperor Fyodor.

Fyodor's brows were furrowed particularly deeply.

Just when he thought he had already secured victory, something unexpected happened, making the outcome unclear again.

The most important thing is that the enemy seemed to be well prepared, and even after sending out the internal guards, no trace of them was found.

"Your Majesty... According to the Internal Guard's report, besides the old Duke Reina, several other nobles are missing, including the current staff officer of the Third Army and Marquis Bekmit, who succeeded Duke Baikal in the Fourth Army."

Speaker Witte fell silent after he finished speaking.

Fyodor's face was gloomy and uncertain. Enemies like this who sneak into the dark are the most troublesome.

"Your Majesty, I have a bad feeling in my heart."

The commander of the Central Army Group's face, as sharp as a knife, also became serious, and his eyes were firm and revealed a strong sense of decisiveness.

Commander Leonia didn't need to say anything, as the two people present could more or less feel something was clearly unusual in their hearts.

It seems calm now.

But this kind of calm is more like the calm before a storm.

The sea is always exceptionally calm before a real storm comes.

...........

Uninhabited permafrost in northern Ursus

With a large number of Fourth Army soldiers surrendering, the Integration Movement once again won in a clash between the infected and the regular army.

Looking at the many soldiers of the army fleeing and surrendering, the fellow members of the Reunion Movement excitedly raised their weapons and cheered.

"Won!!"

This was the fourth time in a row that they had defeated the Fourth Army's attack.

However, except for the first loss which was larger, the other three losses were far less than imagined.

While ordinary compatriots celebrate.

The patriots, however, had a blank expression on their faces and did not seem happy at all about their victory.

Tallulah walked over to the Patriot.

In a short period of time, although Tallulah's appearance has not changed at all, her mentality has undergone a drastic change. With victory after victory, Tallulah gradually developed the demeanor of a true leader, calm and composed.

"Mr. Patriot, all we need to do now is finish rebuilding that abandoned mobile city. Then we'll have our own city, a paradise for the infected!"

After successfully attacking and rescuing all the mines and infected people in the Fourth Army's territory a few months ago.

Tallulah then proposed the idea of repairing a small mobile city-state they had discovered deep in the snowfield.

However, this idea is a bit far-fetched for the current integration movement.

But after informing His Majesty through a messenger, Fyodor not only agreed to the idea but also sent special experts to provide guidance.

"yes.."

The Patriot nodded.

"Father, you seem to be worried about something?"

Froststar walked over from the side.

Although the patriot had a blank expression, she could tell at a glance.

"I feel like...something's wrong with the Fourth Army."

"The internal chaos..."

"There seems to be no unified command..."

Tallulah didn't dwell on it, but smiled and said, "After all, the grass on Duke Baikal's grave is now a meter high. The new staff officer will definitely be difficult to obey. Besides, what kind of ability can these nobles who relied on their ancestors and usurped merit to rise to power really have? The more chaotic the Fourth Army is, the more chances we have!"

What Tallulah said made a lot of sense.

The patriots were silent.

As a pure-blooded Wendigo.

Patriots are many times more capable of sensing danger than ordinary people.

His bad premonition was very strong, extremely strong.

at this time.

There were hurried shouts from the distant camp.

"Patriot Senior!! Chief Tallulah! Come quickly!! 'Flying Kick' is back!! And he's seriously injured!!"

As soon as I heard the hurried voice.

The three patriots immediately turned around and returned to the camp.

The three of them also knew their compatriot "Flying Kick", who was very good at infiltration and escape. More than a month ago, he and the other four were sent to a relatively remote city within the territory of the Fourth Army Group to lurk and take the opportunity to spread the ideas of the Integration Movement and change people's perception of the infected.

As soon as Patriot and Tallulah arrived, they saw their compatriot codenamed "Flying Kick" lying on the ground, his body covered in blood, especially his feet, which were a bloody mess from running.

There was a doctor providing emergency treatment nearby, but the doctor kept shaking his head, seeming to express regret.

After seeing the Patriot and Tallulah, the young compatriot visibly let out the last breath he had been holding in his heart.

He exhaled softly, his face gradually turning pale, and his life force was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Chief... the city has been sealed off by the army. No one is allowed to leave. There are monsters inside..."

"A lot of dark, soft monsters, they're eating people..."

After the important information was finished.

This compatriot, who had risked his life to escape from the city, breathed his last.

Tallulah sighed deeply, and she reached out her hand and gently closed her compatriot's eyes.

"You're a hero..."

Afterwards, Tallulah listened to the details of what Flying Kick had said from other people who had heard about it before they arrived.

Listen in detail.

"monster.."

"The Fourth Army is still researching monsters?!"

Tallulah immediately thought of the monster team developed by Duke Baikal.

“This Fourth Army!!”

"In the final analysis, even if a new advisor is appointed, the substance remains the same. As long as they are old nobles, their ideas are the same."

Tallulah immediately said to Alina beside her, "Alina, write a letter immediately and send it to His Majesty the Emperor and Xiao Yuan in Saint Jun Castle!"

"Reunion Movement is ready to go!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 149: Investigating Hai Si

Based on intelligence.

Tallulah immediately mobilized her men and set off.

Even though there were only four compatriots in that remote town that wasn't even on the map.

But... even if there is only one, the Reunion Movement must save him!

When these compatriots decided to follow Tallulah and regard the Integration Movement as their second home, their home would not abandon them and would not treat any of their compatriots unfairly.

So this trip is a must!

and.

This is also a huge opportunity.

As early as when Duke Baikal was being tried live, this group of old nobles had already been labeled as "guilty" in people's minds.

In addition, the areas governed by the old aristocracy were already full of public resentment.

Now, such a large-scale and cruel experiment has been carried out in a remote small town.

The Fourth Army had long since transformed from an army that surrounded Ursus and the people into a minion of the old aristocracy, turning its guns that were originally aimed outwards on ordinary people.

They have already lost their credibility in the hearts of the people.

So, this is an opportunity.

If Talulah led the Reunion Movement to defeat part of the Fourth Army at this time and rescue the ordinary people of the city-state, and on this basis, she could vindicate the infected and publicize them.

It allows ordinary people to change their views on infected people to a certain extent.

This is the most important thing.

After all, people become infected every day. If we don't change ordinary people's views and cognition of the infected, it is impossible to drive out and integrate the movement as soon as someone accidentally becomes infected.

If this continues, nothing will happen in the short term.

But in the long run.
