The culprits who caused the chaos, Lu Yuntian and Lu Xing, lost their lives, and the guards who obeyed Lu Xing's orders also met a bad end.
Even the warehouse and logistics personnel were replaced.
Taking advantage of this incident, Lu Yunzhao forcefully reorganized the Lu family.
There's no need to go into the details of the various events involved.
For Lu Yunzhao, these were all minor things she had done before. What truly concerned her was that the secret army had lost over a hundred men.
These people were all top-tier evolved beings with powerful supernatural abilities, cultivated with countless resources and effort, yet they were all killed in one blow, all dying from ruptured hearts.
The person who killed them even had time to spin the dagger after inserting it, completely shredding their hearts to ensure they had no chance of repair.
Lu Yunzhao blamed Xia Chuhe for this.
Besides this, there is another piece of good news—Lu Danggui's loyalty to the Lu family.
Considering that Lu Dangui had been by Xia Chuhe's side for too long, even if Lu Dangui showed loyalty in a critical moment, Lu Yunzhao would not fully believe her.
But she was still willing to entrust some shady things to Lu Danggui.
Lu Yunzhao invited Lu Dang back to the office for a ceremony. She placed her hands on her abdomen in a relaxed manner and winked at her: "Here, have some cookies."
The familiar cookie box, the familiar cookies.
Since being taken to the Lu family, whenever Lu Dangui does something praiseworthy, her great-grandmother will reward her with cookies.
The same applies to the other children who were adopted at the same time.
Lu Dangui's fingers curled up as she hugged the jar to her chest and whispered her thanks.
Lu Danggui picked up a biscuit, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
She ate the cookies faster and faster, one after another.
Later on, Lu Danggui practically grabbed a handful of biscuits and stuffed them into her mouth.
She forced tears to flow in this way, using them to feign longing while actually concealing her inner shock.
"What's the rush? There's more if you want to eat," Lu Yunzhao said with a smile. "I have something important I'd like to ask you to do. Are you willing?"
The dry, rough biscuits stung his throat, and Lu Dangui's voice was hoarse: "I'm willing."
Lu Yunzhao subtly flattered her: "Look at what I'm saying. Which task I've assigned to you isn't important?"
The important task was to pick up the children from the Lu family's adoption compound and screen them.
A whole carriage of people had their heads sliced off by the wings of mutated flying beasts—this was the most terrifying memory of Lu Dangui's life.
Now, Lu Dangui is going to be the one who releases the mutated beast.
During the brief period of freedom, Lu Dangui sent out clones to search for the location of the compound, but all their attempts were unsuccessful.
Now, she no longer seeks to know where she came from, but unexpectedly obtains the address of the compound.
The courtyard she remembered as a place where she grew up and studied, full of human warmth, was actually no different from the dormitory at the Birds of Prey Academy.
From the perspective of the children living there, the yard is large, full of security, and unique.
However, from an outsider's perspective, this is just another breeding farm, raising crickets of unknown quality.
Once a cricket survives the battle royale and outperforms the other crickets, it can become a loyal warrior of the Lu family head.
Lu Dangui was driving, and there were many children in the car.
The child is well-behaved, polite, quiet, and doesn't make a fuss.
Lu Dangui knew that in a minute, an earth dragon would emerge from underground and pierce through the carriage...
When Lu Yunzhao issued the mission, Lu Dangui learned that there was a secret army that had suffered heavy losses because a very powerful evolved being had arrived.
If she hadn't hidden Lu Yunzhao in the basement, that powerful evolved human might have been able to kill Lu Yunzhao and end it all.
But reason told her that even if there was no basement, there would be other places, and Lu Yunzhao would not be killed easily.
Lu Yunzhao's survival means that many others will die.
So many children; children are the future of the world.
If Xia Chuhe were here, what would she do?
Will she stop, turn around, and run away with everyone?
Aimless thinking cannot conceal the pain of conscience being repeatedly whipped.
Lu Yunzhao slammed on the brakes, and everyone in the carriage was thrown forward by inertia.
The massive earth dragon screeched past the front window of the carriage, sending up debris that smashed the window in several places.
The children, who had never seen anything like this before, started crying and making a fuss.
The other person in charge of escorting the vehicle muttered a curse under his breath, maliciously opened the car door, and coaxed the children out of the vehicle.
Let them run, let them run wild, the more they run and the more chaotic they become, the faster they will die.
Once you start something, you must see it through to the end.
Lu Danggui got off the carriage, intending to deal with the earthworm.
Those who had finished their tasks earlier gathered around, silently sandwiching her in the middle, forcing her to watch helplessly as the children went to their deaths.
Not far away, Lu Yunzhao squatted on the ground, gently draping clothes over the powerful survivors, wiping away the blood and dirt, and softly comforting them.
Just like what her great-grandmother did for her back then.
Lu Dangui felt a dense, stinging pain rise in his cold, hardened heart.
She had considered that the terrible accidents during her childhood might have been deliberately orchestrated by her great-grandmother.
But seeing it firsthand and participating in it still hurts and makes you sad.
That was the stench of faith completely rotting away.
Lu Yunzhao, no, I should say, why did you want Grandma to know all this?
Is he still testing her?
What should someone with nothing to hide do?
The powerful evolved beings were selected, while the earth dragons and other mutated beasts that had lost their function were killed.
The person blocking Lu Dangui stepped back to their original position. With red eyes, Lu Dangui questioned Lu Yunzhao: "Back then... was that something you deliberately arranged?"
"How could it be me?" Lu Yunzhao feigned ignorance. "I'm not much older than you; I was just at the age to play around back then!"
She was able to laugh even after witnessing the deaths of nearly a hundred children.
Lu Yunzhao laughed and said, "Don't think about how things happened, just remember the result. You are strong, you survived. The strong should not sympathize with the weak."
“Dang Gui, you are too soft-hearted. Look, those children could have died without suffering too much. But your hesitation prolonged their death process, and your soft heart caused them immense pain.”
"You're not suited for this. Would you like me to assign you something else?"
Feeling wronged and unfairly blamed, Lu Dangui's heart sank. He pursed his lips and asked, "What is it?"
...
Trading venues, Dream City, Silent City...
Several cities that were once closely associated with Taotie City were marked with the base's insignia, and the guards built low walls around the newly captured cities.
The surviving guards were happy about the war.
New territory means a new base.
The new base will inevitably need to select mid- to senior-level managers.
Those guards with military merits are the first choice.
As for our fallen comrades, a minute's silence for them is the most meaningful way to express our condolences.
It's because they're less skilled.
