The upper echelons established a guard force, constructed bases, maintained their operation, provided stable rules for survival for both evolved and non-evolved individuals, and developed medical and technological advancements…
On the surface, it seems that the upper echelons want the wasteland world to develop smoothly.
However, Xia Chuhe alone knew of many disgusting acts hidden beneath the surface of calm—
Recover corpses, extract trace elements from them, and make nutritional supplements.
An unfair system for creating artificial humans is established, forcing them to spend half their lives in a state of "debt".
Knowing that androids have genetic defects, they continue to produce androids just to maintain the sales of gene-enhancing drugs.
They secretly developed Blue, attempting to control the evolved beings outside the base.
...
One incident after another, the upper echelons clearly divided the world into two distinct classes.
All species, except those in the upper realms, must sacrifice all their time and labor, and even their lives, for their good life.
Xia Chuhe believes that the upper echelons are absolutely hypocritical.
However, upon seeing Su Cuisong's gift, she realized that those in power were not hypocrites, but true villains.
Su Cuisong handed over all the evidence that the Meow Meow Corps had collected and organized over the years to Xia Chuhe.
This includes not only events known to Xia Chuhe, but also matters such as the origin of artificial human embryos, human experiments with various drugs and special weapons, and other biological and chemical weapons, including Blue...
This evidence includes detailed information on the time, place, people, experimental process and results, and even a list of witnesses.
I really don't know how much effort the Meow Meow Legion put in to get so much evidence.
The fatal blow that finally made Su Cuisong decide to leave the base was—
“I’ve taken Brutonium, a lot of it,” Su Cuisong said calmly. “Not just me, but also the commanders and leaders of other large military units, and even senior officials of the base.”
Faced with various forces within the base, the upper echelons employed a variety of tactics to win over and suppress them.
"Bru" is both a way of winning someone over and a way of suppressing them.
For leaders who are happy to cooperate with their superiors but lack vision and ambition, the free supply of Blue is a sign of goodwill from their superiors.
For a leader who is wary and will never fully trust his allies, Blue, who seems to offer eternal bliss but has no known side effects, is simply not enjoyable.
Unfortunately, Su Cuisong is the second type.
The old leader was getting on in years, and many unimportant social events and meetings were handed over to Su Cuisong long ago. That's why she was completely unaware of this matter, which is why she wanted to bet on both sides and why she held onto hope for the higher-ups.
Su Cuisong, who suffered greatly from this, had long harbored worries.
"So, Lord Xia, do you understand why I moved my entire group here?" Su Cuisong said. "The battle between Taotie City and the Heavenly God Temple was very exciting, and I would like to ask Lord Xia to enlighten me."
Xia Chuhe stated bluntly, "Pleasure and pain complement each other, and this is the side effect of Bru. People who take Bru enjoy pleasure, while someone else suffers for them. Once the person who suffered is released, the accumulated pain will be returned to the user of Bru in double measure."
Xia Chuhe briefly recounted the truth she discovered at the Temple of Heaven, emphasizing the bizarre pain-transformation machine. Of course, she omitted the story of the Wei sisters.
"I see," Su Cuisong said with a smile. "It seems I need to start looking for a successor."
Xia Chuhe was taken aback: "Commander Su, there's no need to be so pessimistic."
Pain is temporary. If you can get through the intense pain, you may be able to live like an ordinary person in the future.
It's just unknown whether Su Cuisong has that kind of perseverance.
Su Cuisong said, "I was just joking. City Lord Xia, you don't need to take it to heart."
Xia Chuhe: "..."
You don't look like someone who would joke around.
It has to be said, Xia Chuhe was right.
After hearing about the side effects of Bru, Su Cuisong arranged for the next successor in just a few seconds.
Originally, she thought she was still young and had time to carefully select and cultivate a young successor.
But now, perhaps handing it over to Du Zhen is the best option.
Du Zhen is mature, steady, and resilient; he has always been her most trusted right-hand man. Perhaps the responsibility of nurturing young people will fall on Du Zhen's shoulders.
However, as long as Su Cuisong remains in the position of regimental commander, she will do her best to plan the longest and easiest path for the Meow Meow Legion.
...
Xia Chuhe returned from his trip to the base with a full harvest.
Originally, I only wanted to act as a bridge between the Wei sisters, but I never expected to have two unexpected surprises.
When Xia Chuhe returned to Taotie City with evidence of the shameless actions of the higher-ups, the newly established research team in Taotie City had already fully understood the manufacturing methods of many weapons.
The research team is led by Xiao Ai, and its members include 02, 123, and some talents selected from the military and city residents.
The biggest problem facing the research team is the lack of raw materials.
From the trading city to the Temple of the Gods, the main development directions included agriculture, (pseudo) medicine, and trade, but there was not a single place suitable for developing industry, and there was not a single city that could produce minerals.
Zhu Guanshan had thoroughly examined the map and tried every possible approach, but he still couldn't find the location of the mineral deposit.
Xia Chuhe: "..."
She remembered telling Bu Yi that no one had thought of using Sha Feng's special ability.
Sha Feng, who came from Shacheng, possessed the special ability to sense minerals, which provided Shacheng with a small source of income.
Unfortunately, although Sand City possessed a treasure trove, it lacked the capability, technology, and connections to develop it. The higher-ups refused to cooperate with them, and those outside the base lacked the technology; even if they bought the ore, they couldn't turn it into weapons.
Xia Chuhe was worried because the promised benefits to Shacheng had not been delivered.
If this drags on any longer, she's worried that Sha Feng's grandmother will come to visit in person.
When Xia Chuhe told everyone about Sha Feng's special abilities, everyone looked at her innocently: "You only said that we should teach her some things about governing the city, but you didn't say whether this person is trustworthy or not..."
Therefore, they didn't even teach Sha Feng the so-called things about governing the city.
Sha Feng possesses immense strength, yet all he does all day is tease chickens and rabbits in Taotie City; his red-tasseled spear is practically falling off from being idle.
Xia Chuhe: "..."
Before officially placing an order with Shacheng, Xia Chuhe also wanted to investigate the true nature of Shafeng.
It just so happens that the farm has an order that has been sitting for almost half a year, from Animal World.
Xia Chuhe didn't have access to the ore at the time, so he put it aside. Now it can be used to assess Sha Feng's strength.
The orders from the animal world are as follows:
Animal World's unique products include: agricultural and sideline products, agricultural machinery, etc.
Rare items in the animal kingdom: minerals;
Order received: 1 shipment of iron ore;
Compensation: 1 boatload of agricultural machinery.
Xia Chuhe paid Sha Feng with grain and asked him to relay to Shacheng that he had ordered 1,000 tons of iron ore.
"How long will it take to complete this order?" Xia Chuhe asked.
Sha Feng blinked: "Now?"
Iron ore isn't worth much; there are huge piles of it outside Sand City!
Xia Chuhe: "..."
