Chapter 214: The Test for Lugan
Xie Ren walked out shaking his head, his mind a little confused, but he knew very well what he was going to do. Without any hesitation or pause, he found where Lugan was hiding. Regardless of Lugan's frightened and desperate reaction, he forcibly brought him back to his residence, provided him with good food and drink, and said in words that they were friends, sharing hardships and progress together, and he would definitely get him out of the city safely.
Lugan was stunned. All the brothers he brought in were dead. Only he was hiding in the garbage dump and had not been discovered for the time being.
The scorching heat, the harsh environment, the lack of food for days, the lack of medicine for his wounds, which began to ulcerate and fester, and a high fever. He was brought back dazed and thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. But, was this man's mind truly intact? Although he was ill, he knew that this man was not his friend, and he had never met the other people.
Despite being full of trepidation, Lugan did not refuse food, drink and medicine. He wanted to live. Since there was a chance, no matter whether these people were mentally ill or had other intentions, he would seize it.
Before Xie Ren left, the girls looted most of the remaining supplies and left. The small amount of supplies left was used on Lu Gan, ensuring that not a single cent was left.
Although the others were unwilling, for some reason, every time they wanted to stop it, there was always a voice in their hearts telling them that it was their duty and they couldn't stop it. They stretched out their hands but withdrew them in frustration.
For two days, the people looking for Lugan did not stop, but this matter could not be exposed, so it was done secretly.
When the men entered the salt field, the girls packed up their things and waited at the corner outside the city. There were not many people there.
Xie Ren and the other seven followed their inner dictation and delivered the men. Seven men, these "good men" girls weren't about to let them go. After delivering them, they returned to their quarters, distributing flyers they'd prepared long ago. These exposed the rip-off potion. The team didn't care whether others believed them or not; they simply did what they had to do and what they wanted to do. There were still many disbanded teams in G City exchanging supplies, so they believed G City would become bustling.
The seven people were panicking. They didn't want to throw the flyers, but they couldn't stop the people. They wanted to leave, but they couldn't stop the people either. They were so depressed.
Outside the city, Lu Gan looked at the women and children in front of him, his mind racing, but he still couldn't grasp the key point.
Lan Shiruo smiled, "No need to guess, I can tell you everything you want to know."
Lugan's face was full of alarm. He asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Lan Shiruo frowned, waiting for him to ask one question after another, which was a bit time-consuming. "Let me tell you, I know you are the captain of a separate team. You suffered a loss due to the potion, so we organized several separate teams to investigate. The matter was investigated clearly, but unfortunately, everyone was almost dead. You narrowly escaped death and were rescued. Your head is full of doubts. We found the person who rescued you. The reason we rescued you was because we were impressed by your leadership ability, so we wanted to give you a chance to realize your ambitions. It depends on whether you dare to do it and whether you can do it."
Lu Gan's expression changed several times. "Why should I trust you?"
"Just because you are standing here intact now."
Lugan's mouth twitched. Well, this was the best proof. "What do you want me to do?"
"It's simple. I'll give you a truckload of supplies. Take them all the way to Shicheng, Qinzhou, D City, and find a man named Kong Fenglin. He'll make arrangements for you. I don't care how you get there or what you do along the way. I have one condition: Gather all the capable men from the scattered teams. Regardless of age, gender, or whether they have special abilities or not, as long as they possess a skill and possess good character, we're open to you. The more the better. How far you'll go in the future will depend on how much you can accomplish now. Of course, if you don't know Shicheng and don't trust us, you can take the supplies and run away. But it's best not to let us meet you again, otherwise you'll experience the true meaning of hell on earth." Lan Shiruo said this with a smile, but it was a smile that held a chilling edge. She wasn't worried about human nature failing to withstand the test. She firmly believed that if she could reach the top, all past betrayals would be crushed.
Lu Gan's heart beat violently several times, and he forced himself to calm down. "Do you know that I don't have any special abilities?"
"Know."
"Why" Lu Gan swallowed his words and said, "I will do it."
"Very good. People who achieve great things must have courage. Come on." Lan Shiruo waved her hand, released a large truck full of supplies, and then left with her friends.
Lu Gan was stunned for three full seconds, his hands trembling as he looked at the carriage. It was filled with supplies, and this was no dream. He was tempted to run away with the supplies, but his mind told him not to.
He decided to take a gamble and take the supplies to Shicheng. The moment he got on the car, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was alone now, and such a large truck of supplies was not a blessing, but a disaster. What a cruel woman.
At the salt field, Xu Benying was walking with the men on the way to escort the salt. She was actually more excited than the men as it was her first time here.
The salt field is the lifeblood of G City. Only important people can enter, and the task of escorting them must be performed by capable people. Xu Benying has always been the object of envy and jealousy, and now it is others' turn to be envious and jealous of her. How can she not be excited?
The men pursed their lips and followed obediently behind.
Transportation now relies not on vehicles but on people. City G employs its own space-based psychics, each carrying a specific amount of salt. This allows for greater capacity than with vehicles and is also safer. The only drawback is that if a vehicle breaks down, the salt remains. If a person dies, the salt is also lost. The team's mission is to protect the space-based psychics, defending them to the death, so the team members must possess very high abilities.
Certain handover procedures must be completed before shipping to prevent anyone from pocketing the spoils. The team must also personally oversee the loading of the goods to avoid being shortchanged and ending up with an empty shipment.
The men's chance had come. Ao Chengyi had a stomachache, and Xu Benying, facing his cold face, dared not say no, so he could only let someone he trusted take him there. The other men stayed behind to provide cover.
Ao Chengyi was taken to a place where frontline workers at the saltworks were solving problems. It was a portable shelter, ensuring no one could hide anything there. It was cleaned daily, so it was relatively clean. The person leading the way had a bad look on his face and a harsh tone. "Hurry up, don't dawdle. You're a weakling who's supported by women, what are you so proud of?" The rest of the words were muttered. Ao Chengyi pretended not to hear them, went into the toilet, and took out the pangolin. "Get to work."
The pangolin's eyes rolled around twice, his face filled with confusion. Ao Chengyi's face turned cold, "Dig a hole."
This matter was clear. Hanjia's claws danced very fast. The bottom of the wooden house was not big enough for its two claws. Then it was the ground. This place was close to the salt field, so holes could be dug quickly. Ao Chengyi collected it directly through the air, being careful not to be too harsh, so as not to collapse it and unable to get out.
Eight-tenths of the unmined salt was collected, and half of the processed salt was collected. When the people outside became impatient, the cave entrance was restored and they left the toilet.
The transport team has been handed over. Ao Chengyi winked at his friends, and the men were happy and followed him out happily.
