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

That night, the last elderly person who received free rice porridge knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, holding the worn bowl.

He looked up at the sky, and under the gaze of the Iron Blood Gang and all the refugees around him, he opened his mouth and let out a shrill cry.

"The sky has eyes!!"

These few simple words seemed to have infinite power, slamming heavily into the hearts of everyone around them, causing them to beat non-stop.

Some people also knelt on the ground like the old man and kowtowed towards the porridge shop.

At this time, on a rooftop somewhere in Block 80, Lu Yuan stood there with his hands in his pockets, facing the night wind, his clothes fluttering and his black hair dancing.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was relieved and happy, and then he turned and left.

Today, all the refugees in blocks 78 and 80 had hot rice porridge for lunch and dinner.

Lu Yuan naturally also quietly patrolled these two blocks for a day. After seeing that everyone had eaten porridge, he left with satisfaction.

As for people's praise, Lu Yuan just regarded it as an extra reward, not a necessity.

.......

Uptown

Golden Scream Entertainment Club

This nightclub is considered to be extremely high-end in the entire Upper Town. There is nothing it doesn't have.

As for the power behind it, it is one of the major underworld forces in the slums.

"I heard that Lu Yuan is indeed planning to expand. Today, he expanded his area to the 80th and 78th blocks, suppressing local gangs and providing free porridge."

The host of this party was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, thin, wearing a pair of rimless glasses. He smiled amiably, like an ordinary neighbor uncle, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"I'm inviting everyone to come here this time so I can discuss what we should do and how to handle this."

Sitting opposite the thin man with glasses was a burly, muscular man, who was even as strong as Xue Tu, the former leader of the Blood Hand Gang.

He had a body of muscular body like a rock, and he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. His arms exposed outside the short-sleeves were even thicker than the waist of an ordinary woman. He grabbed the wine glass as if it were oral liquid.

"I never thought we would be so destitute. In the past, when we got together, we would discuss strategies to deal with the Rat King, but now we have to get together because of a young child."

"Damn it!! It's so frustrating!!"

After saying that, the burly man roared, the sound made the walls of the box buzz, and he swung his hands, and the wine glass in his hand smashed to the ground.

"Hahaha~ Tieta, since you're so unhappy, why don't you just go and kill that kid? He broke into Xue Tu's hometown alone. Hundreds of fully armed guards, plus his elite soldiers, and he himself, were all helpless. Can you do that?"

The middle-aged woman on the southeast side switched legs and crossed them, teasing.

The gangster nicknamed 'Iron Tower' snorted in dissatisfaction and said angrily.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I've been a powerful figure in Longmen for so many years. The Rat King wanted to kill us but failed. Wei Yanwu also wanted to kill us but failed. Could it be that after all these years of being scared, we are now afraid of a little kid?!"

"You've been living in peace for so many years, haven't you? You don't have any blood in you anymore?!"

Tieta shouted with a voice as loud as a bell, and his voice echoed throughout the private room.

"We really shouldn't be scared like this by a little kid."

At this time, the old man with a goatee who had been sitting in the corner and had not spoken a word slowly spoke.

"Look, even Master Dao said so. How come you two youngsters don't have any blood in you?"

"Now you only see Lu Yuan giving out free porridge and setting up factories in the neighborhood, but in reality, he's gradually encroaching on our slums! Once he takes over the Blood Hand Gang's territory, it will be too late!"

"Why hasn't the Rat King expressed his opinion yet, or even said anything at all? This person is clearly destroying the balance of our slums! Isn't that what Lu Yuan is doing? This is what the Rat King has always wanted!"

"So, the Rat King is waiting! Wei Yanwu is waiting too!"

"They are waiting to win, what are we waiting for but to die?!"

The old man with a goatee nodded and tapped the sofa with his fingers, which were as dry as dead branches.

"That makes sense. Even if a kid is powerful, he's still just one person. He was able to kill Xue Tu alone because Xue Tu wasn't fully prepared. No matter how strong a person is, he'll be useless if there are more masters."

"If personal strength alone was enough, the Rat King would have unified the slums long ago."

"In the final analysis, this world still relies on power and background. No matter how powerful he is, he can only defeat a few hundred people. But what about a thousand? What about several thousand? What about the reloaded crossbows? What about the Originium bombs?"

Tieta also agreed with what the old goat said.

"That's right! Even if we really kill him, the Rat King can only hold back. He's already old now, and I'm afraid he won't live for more than a few years. His strength has probably declined a lot with his age, and he's no longer as strong as he used to be."

Tieta became more and more excited as he spoke, and he wished he could beat Lu Yuan to death right now.

As for the gentle man with glasses and the middle-aged woman, they no longer said anything, but looked at the iron tower as if it were an idiot.

........

"Xiao Yuan, your career is doing well now, it's thriving!"

On the streets of Longmen’s main urban area.

Shi Huaiya, who was on her turn to rest today, walked side by side with Lu Yuan. Her fluffy, curly golden hair was shining in the sunlight, like a golden waterfall spiraling down, which was particularly eye-catching.

She held the latest dessert from the Minliang dessert shop in her hands and ate it with great joy.

"so so."

Lu Yuan couldn't stop grinning.

"Oh, it's not so bad."

Shi Huaiya curved her eyes and smiled gently.

"In a short period of time, not only did they transform Block 79 into a more organized, seemingly simplified urban area, but they also expanded to cover at least several neighboring blocks. The factories are even more impressive, now producing a variety of secondary processed staple foods that are selling well on the market, and the dessert shops are also particularly popular."

"Um... After you said that, I feel even more embarrassed."

Lu Yuan curled his lips.

"The money was provided by you and Lin Yuxia, as well as the land and sales channels. With such a great start, anyone with a normal brain can grow it bigger and bigger. If I still fail with such help, then I might as well find a Southeast Branch to hang my head on."

"Hahahaha~"

Shi Huaiya laughed happily, her white and neat teeth were bright and lovely, and her pink little mouth made people want to kiss it.

"Hey, it's because you, Xiao Yuan, have such great ambitions, and you've shown me your potential, that's why I'm like this. If you were just a slacker with no ambitions, I wouldn't bother with you. Humph~ I wouldn't even bother looking at you."

Lu Yuan smiled and started joking.

"What if one day I suddenly give up, not only stop working hard but also stop wanting to realize my own dreams? I just want to stay at home and be a lazy fish, playing games every day, then would you be willing to support me?"

When Shi Huaiya heard this, her pretty face flushed red.

"Ken..."

However, she turned her head again, and her golden hair swung, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"Humph! I won't support you. I, Shi Huaiya, won't support a useless person!"

"Hahahaha~"

Shi Huaiya's little action made Lu Yuan laugh. He put his hands in his pockets and laughed non-stop.

"What are you laughing at!!"

Shi Huaiya was anxious. She thought Lu Yuan didn't believe her, so she stomped her feet in anxiety, and her high heels made a clattering sound on the ground.

"I'm telling the truth!! I'm not lying to you!!"

"Okay, okay, I believe it. I believe it."

Just as Shi Huaiya and Lu Yuan were joking and bickering, suddenly, Lu Yuan's cell phone rang.

"Dwarf Tornado?"

Lu Yuan was puzzled. Although he had told Short Tornado his phone number, this was the first time Short Tornado had called him.

"What's going on?"

Lu Yuan's expression gradually became serious, and Shi Huaiya beside him also stopped laughing and waited there with an expressionless face.

"Hello? Shorty."

"Commander-in-Chief!! Please come back soon!! Director Anso! Director Anso has had an attack of ore sickness!!"

"what?!"

Lu Yuan was shocked.

"I'm going back now!!"

"Let's go, Xiao Yuan!"

Shi Huaiya, who was standing next to him, naturally also heard what Dwarf Tornado said, and she also became anxious.

As a senior superintendent of the Longmen Guard Bureau, although Shi Huaiya is not an infected person, due to job requirements, she must understand the situation of the infected. Therefore, she deeply knows how serious the attack of mineral disease is.

Every outbreak of oripathy is potentially fatal.

Even if you manage to recover from an oripathy outbreak, your own oripathy infection level will increase significantly, and the next oripathy attack will be even more dangerous.

"go!"

Lu Yuan and Shi Huaiya immediately ran back to the car and drove hurriedly to the slums.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Yuan and Shi Huaiya arrived at Block 79.

Surrounded by many members of the Greedy Wolf Gang, he walked into a nicely decorated room in the Greedy Wolf Gang's stronghold.

at this time.

An Suo Neng was sleeping on the bed, with beads of sweat on his forehead. His face, which was originally slightly rosy, had now turned pale again. His whole body was trembling with pain caused by the attack of mineral sickness.

"Chief Commander!"

As soon as Dwarf Tornado saw Lu Yuan, he immediately called out respectfully. After seeing the senior superintendent of the Guard Bureau beside Lu Yuan, he also called out.

"Officer Shi Huaiya."

"Commander-in-Chief?"

Shi Huaiya looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously.

"Dark thread!"

Lu Yuan walked to the bedside. Perhaps the pain was too intense, An Suo didn't even know Lu Yuan had come over.

"Have you seen a doctor?"

Shorty Tornado lowered his head. "I'm sorry... Commander, I asked the gang's doctor to see him, but he doesn't understand oripathy at all. As for the other doctors, they don't dare..."

Shi Huaiya understood this better. She patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yuan, ordinary doctors can't treat mineralogy. Let's go to Longmen General Hospital."

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan carried An Suo and drove to the main hospital in Longmen Shangcheng District, accompanied by Shi Huaiya, Short Tornado and other gang leaders.

This hospital is undoubtedly the best hospital in Longmen, and it gathers a large number of cutting-edge experts and professors.

Originally, infected people were not qualified to enter this hospital, but because of Shi Huaiya's relationship, and some of Longmen's wealthy businessmen and capitalists' families and relatives were traveling, or contracted mineralogy for some reason.

Therefore, Longmen Hospital is able to barely treat oripathy.

After all, the treatment cost is very high and the profit is really high.

Although the world rejects infected people, this rejection is trivial when it comes to making money.

An Suo was successfully admitted to the ICU.

Outside the ICU, Shi Huaiya and Lu Yuan were sitting on the sofa waiting.

Poetry Huaiya thought about it and told Lu Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, Longmen General Hospital's ability to treat oripathy is actually quite limited. After all, they haven't conducted much research, and their research is based solely on existing data."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Shi Huaiya, how about Rhodes Island?"

"Actually, I've thought about the issue of the infected before, but I've never experienced it, so I've put it aside. Now that the mineral sickness has broken out in Anso, I have to pay attention to this issue."

"There are too many infected people in our slums. I think for these people, just having enough food is not enough. They also need medicine and ways to prolong their lives..."

Shi Huaiya said: "So, Xiao Yuan, do you want to..."

"Block 79 is now completely stable, and the foundation has been laid. Things will definitely be much easier in the slums later on, so I think I need to focus on the infected people in the slums."
