Chapter 61
On the way back to An City, Gu Fan took the Qingteng Flying Sword, and Lu Ya and the other two grown men rode on a flying paper crane. Because the speed was greatly increased, when they passed by famous mountains and rivers, Gu Fan would search for usable herbs while everyone was eating and resting. Of course, Lu Ya would take the initiative to accompany her and serve as her bodyguard.
Most of the time was spent on traveling, but from time to time he would take out two or three hours to look for herbs. After searching all the way, Gu Fan actually managed to gather all the herbs needed for the beast-avoiding pill and the life-extending pill.
One can prevent monsters of any level from smelling human breath, another can save lives and heal wounds even when seriously injured, plus there are flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pills for minor injuries, and bone-repairing pills for flesh and bone injuries. These four alone have greatly increased the chances of survival for humans when facing monsters.
A month later, An City was within sight.
The jurisdiction area of Anshi is similar to that of the original Jiangnan Base. The difference is that the urban buildings of Jiangnan Base can accommodate a population of 20 million. Only three rings are used for farming on the periphery, followed by military camps and isolation zones. After fifty years of construction, a regular five-ring distribution has been formed. In addition to the urban area, Anshi is surrounded by agricultural suburbs and mountains and forests, which looks very desolate.
The urban area of Anshi can accommodate a population of about five million, which is just right for a new base.
Under the leadership of the superpowers, five million humans have completed the transformation of the basic infrastructure of the new base in the past six months. For example, scientific researchers have repaired the once abandoned hydropower station, ensuring a continuous power supply. A protective shield covering the entire Anshi area has been established to ensure the safety of the base.
Most of the once abandoned buildings have been demolished and rebuilt, and new high-rise buildings have been built.
The arable land that was once uncultivated has become fertile farmland, providing food for mankind.
Hospitals, schools, and government buildings reappeared in the city center, and new roads extended in all directions.
Human beings have become the masters of the earth with their wisdom and hard work. Now they are just tearing down and rebuilding. Some people have gained powerful superpowers and will definitely be more efficient in infrastructure construction, just like Meng Lianying and Fenghuo. With only the two of them, they built a solid wall for Gu Fan in one night, and then covered the green vines with thorny vines.
When rebuilding the base, everyone, whether ordinary people or those with special abilities, gave their all.
Even if some people have selfish motives, they must build the base so that everyone can resume production, and only then can these people earn new profits.
Before landing, Gu Fan looked carefully at the familiar yet unfamiliar city.
She had been to Anshi twice. Both times, Anshi was just a ruin. But the Anshi before her was beginning to show signs of prosperity.
I have to say that as a human being, Gu Fan still prefers to see such human habitats. Just like beautiful scenery, it makes people happy and hopeful.
Everyone landed and Lu Ya released his combat off-road vehicle.
He drove, Gu Fan sat in the passenger seat, and Xinghe and the other four sat in the back.
The base is still surrounded by a circle of thick and solid walls. The protective shield leaves a narrow gap at the gate for humans to enter and exit, and will be completely closed in case of enemy attack.
The armies of the five major families take turns in duty, and today it happens that the Sheng family army is in charge.
In the original Jiangnan base, the Sheng family only engaged in business and did not form an army. The military uniforms of the four families, Lu, He, Li, and Wang, were different colors and everyone could recognize them.
After moving to An City, the Sheng family had the largest number of healthy people with special abilities, a total of 50,000.
At one time, the Lu, He, Li, and Wang families each controlled an army of 250,000 men. The 50,000 men of the Sheng family were nothing. After the Beast Tide War, the total number of surviving superpower soldiers from the other four families was only 50,000, and a considerable portion of them were newly recruited recruits who had just reached adulthood. When the base was in urgent need of military strength, the Sheng family followed public opinion and naturally formed an army.
According to the military strength, the Sheng family is already the undisputed largest family in the Jiangnan base. However, the Lu family has enjoyed the support of the people for fifty years, and the old Marshal Lu has just died. The people's support still supports the Lu family to rank ahead of the Sheng family.
The SUV stopped in front of the city gate.
The gatekeeper of the Sheng family came over to verify the identity of the car owner, but when he looked down, he saw a stern face that was recognized by almost everyone in the base.
"Young Marshal." The gatekeeper immediately gave a standard military salute. Although they were from different factions, Lu Ya's identity as an S-level strongman still made all the soldiers in awe.
Lu Ya said calmly: "Let him go."
The gatekeeper's gaze quickly swept over Gu Fan and the other four, especially lingering on Gu Fan's face for a moment, then he stepped back and signaled others to open the city gate.
Lu Ya drove straight in.
The urban area of An City is very small, and the five major families live very close to each other. When Lu Ya arrived at the Western-style building area where the Lu family members lived, the heads of the other four major families and important figures had already gathered here waiting.
Gu Fan got out of the car and glanced at everyone's faces. He saw Lu Ying, He Jing, and Sheng Xi.
Sheng Xi walked forward with a look of hatred on his face, looked directly at Gu Fan and said, "Gu Fan, now that you're back, shouldn't you give us an explanation for shooting Yaoyao?"
He Jing frowned and said, "Sheng Xi, we've already discussed this matter. Lu Yao murdered Gu Fan first, and Gu Fan's revenge on her was just to settle their personal grudge. The base law clearly states that no one is allowed to engage in private fighting within the base. Once you leave the base, you will bear all the consequences yourself."
Sheng Heqing, the head of the Sheng family, said with a sullen face, "Yaoyao is Brother Lu's most beloved granddaughter. She is the daughter-in-law that Brother Lu entrusted to our Sheng family for care. I must investigate whether there is any personal grudge between her and Gu Fan, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Brother Lu."
Sheng Heqing is in his seventies and is only a three-element A-level mutant, but at this moment, standing next to him is his skinny dual-element S-level son, Sheng An.
No one really believed that Sheng Heqing had never known Sheng An's qualifications. If he knew, Sheng Heqing must have spent countless efforts to cultivate Sheng An. Therefore, even though Sheng An was only ten years old, even the two old marshals He and Wang did not dare to underestimate the child's strength.
Because of this, they did not interfere with the Sheng family's attack on Gu Fan for the time being.
Lu Ya is very strong, but the Sheng family has Sheng An, who is more qualified and has 50,000 soldiers with special abilities.
Gu Fan laughed: "Why should I accept your investigation? Lu Yao is your daughter-in-law. Who knows if you will fabricate a crime for me to settle a personal grudge?"
Sheng Xi: "Gu Fan, watch your attitude, this is the base's marshal..."
Gu Fan is so young, so of course it would be more appropriate for him to come forward to attack Gu Fan. However, before Sheng Xi could finish his words, an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped him, and Sheng Xi knelt down uncontrollably. Because he had just been talking to Gu Fan, this kneeling was naturally directed at Gu Fan.
But Sheng Xi did not associate this pressure with Gu Fan. He looked up with horror and difficulty, obviously mistaking this strange and powerful force for some high-tech means of aliens.
I have to say, his ignorant look was quite funny.
Fenghuo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Fan was also laughing. When she practiced with Xinghe and the others before, she did not deliberately use coercion. Now she narrowed the range of coercion and concentrated it on Sheng Xi alone, which produced this effect.
"Sheng Xi, Fanfan is a fairy who has descended from heaven. I advise you to pay attention to your attitude, otherwise Fanfan can kill you with just a thought."
Meng Lianying stood beside Gu Fan with his arms folded, imitating Sheng Xi's tone.
Sheng Xi looked at Gu Fan as if he had seen a ghost.
Gu Fan seemed to have no interest in what was happening here, and suddenly flew up on his sword.
Sheng Xi: ...
Sheng Heqing, Marshal He, and Marshal Wang could no longer conceal the shock in their eyes, and the ten-year-old Sheng An was simply dumbfounded, staring at Gu Fan blankly with the eyes as if he had really seen a fairy.
Gu Fan followed the plan they had discussed earlier and took out three bone-regenerating pills. He then let them fly into Lu Ya's hands in front of everyone, "This is the bone-regenerating pill I recently developed. It can regenerate severed limbs. There are four in total. One is for Feng Huo, and you can distribute the other three. Fairy Peak is full of spiritual energy, and I will settle down there from now on. If I am in a good mood and have refined the pills, I will give them to you. If I don't want to refine them, it will be useless even if you kneel down and beg me."
After she finished speaking, she went towards the Fairy Peak like a streak of light, and everyone saw how fast she was.
As soon as Gu Fan left, the pressure on Sheng Xi naturally disappeared, but he was still kneeling on the ground, in disbelief.
