Chapter 336: Rich Lady, Everything
"Hey, I've only been undercover for a few days, so it's not worth mentioning." Han Ying said embarrassedly.
Feng Ting said his wife was too modest.
Although Han Ying had only been undercover in a small branch of the Temple in northern Gyeonggi Province for over a month, his contribution was significant.
Hadn't she awakened her microscopic powers? Her eyes were sharper than a microscope, capable of detecting crucial details that others couldn't. At the time, official control over the capital wasn't as strong as it once was. The Temple's forces had infiltrated the city, and the security department was understaffed. Han Ying was temporarily seconded there, disguised as a believer, to infiltrate the Temple.
There, she quickly rose to a higher position with the help of her microscopic abilities and was specifically responsible for the food safety of the messengers - because she could see the slightest signs of mold and spoilage in food, and even trace amounts of toxins, the messengers would only eat food that she had checked.
Messengers don't eat the same things as ordinary believers.
Later, Han Ying took advantage of his work convenience and directly added ingredients to the messengers' food, cooperating with the soldiers who attacked from outside to wipe out the temple branch.
"Mom is awesome!"
Qiao Lan remembered something. "Over here in the Temple in City C, they feed mutant beasts with corpses, and then make broth from the mutant beasts for the believers to drink. Is it the same in the north?"
Han Ying said that they were all similar and none of them were clean anyway.
"After eating that meat, the believers suffered varying degrees of poisoning, some mild, some severe. Those who died from severe poisoning were thrown into the mutant animal pens as feed..." Han Ying still felt a lingering fear as she spoke of what she had witnessed. "It was so cruel! Men, women, and children were fed the poisonous food while still alive, and after they died, they were torn apart and eaten whole. Saint Yes was so cruel! I heard that the toxin can change some people's constitutions, making them more likely to turn into zombies, with their limbs gradually becoming numb and losing sensation. It's definitely not a good thing."
Han Ying hadn't gone undercover alone; she had the support of her superiors and subordinates, which allowed her to quickly infiltrate the Temple's inner circle. But one of her companions was exposed, and she watched helplessly as he was fed toxins, tortured, and ultimately succumbed to a disfigured death. She could do nothing but endure, staying put, and wait for the final battle.
Later, the Temple was largely wiped out, and she returned to the capital. However, that brief period of undercover work was unforgettable. Thinking of her fallen companions, she burst into tears.
"The latest news from the capital is that the headquarters of the Saint Yesh Elders' Council was raided by a group of mercenaries. Several elders were killed, and those who managed to escape are now in exile. Saint Yesh's power has been significantly weakened as a result. Many countries and organizations, large and small, that were once enslaved by them are taking advantage of this opportunity to attack them. I believe that it won't be long before this evil company is doomed."
Feng Ting talked about the latest official internal news.
"Yes, for sure!" Qiao Lan comforted Han Ying and asked her to serve the rice and dishes quickly.
She had learned about the attack on the Elders' lair through Ye Qi's information channels before her parents. The mercenaries, representing various forces from around the world, had quietly gathered together and raided the Elders' lair. Among them was a group of our elite warriors.
Saint Yeshua's situation is hopeless and the situation is hopeless.
This is only one year into the end of the world.
In his previous life, during the years that Qiao Lan endured hardship, Saint Yes had always been a dark cloud hanging over the heads of mankind, a giant and indestructible monster.
Things are completely different now, with earth-shaking changes.
The world is getting better, and official order is being restored. Holding the framework agreement with Black Cloud Boss in his arms, Qiao Lan is full of confidence in the future.
After quickly finishing her meal at her parents' house, she went straight to the laboratory.
With Director Fu's silent support, the Qiaozhen Research Institute, spearheaded by Zhou Ping, had been operating for some time. Zhou Ping took the money home and spent her days in the lab researching cutting-edge superpowers and human body technology. Fu Xingyuan also joined as an intern, working alongside some of the newly recruited staff.
Official research progress has been accelerating. Previously flawed psychic stimulation drugs and disease treatment drugs have been updated several generations. While they haven't yet achieved the desired results, the progress is substantial. Zhou Ping, on the other hand, has been in constant technical discussions with Director Fu. He's even more radical and unconventional than the official lab, so his research progress is even faster than the official lab's.
"I'll add a project for you." Qiao Lan went to talk to Zhou Ping as soon as he arrived at the laboratory.
The toxin issue raised by Han Ying gave her new ideas.
The Crown had many problems using Marshall's body. The alloy leg he rebuilt after breaking his leg didn't integrate well with his body, causing constant pain. If the food toxins the Temple fed its followers could cause numbness in their limbs...
Could it be used to relieve pain?
Of course, we must overcome the spread and erosion of toxins so that they can paralyze the nerves without affecting the normal activities and thinking consciousness of the human body.
"It's difficult, but very challenging." Zhou Ping was eager to try it after hearing this.
He was already familiar with the Temple's zombie research and was very interested in it, so he immediately took on the project.
"Work hard, I will find a way to solve any needs you have!" Qiao Lan encouraged them.
Most of Saint Yes's technology is anti-human, but it is also advanced. Wouldn't it be a good idea to reverse engineer it and use it to benefit humanity? Qiao Lan created the small town laboratory to take the initiative in mutation into his own hands and control the future!
In addition to the research lab, Qiao Town now has a water conservancy department. Two pre-apocalyptic university professors are leading a team of researchers researching the detoxification of water resources. They've already produced water suitable for irrigating farmland and bathing. It's still a little short of being drinkable, but it's a significant improvement. In her previous life, Qiao Lan remembered that it wasn't until the third year that some large bases produced clean drinking water. The quantity was so small and precious that ordinary people couldn't afford it. In this life, her wish is that by the third year, all townspeople will have free access to water, just as they did before the apocalypse, without the fear of toxins.
Jiang Yue's Agricultural Science Research Institute has two large experimental fields in the town and in the Black Cloud Territory, and the breeding and seedling cultivation project is progressing steadily.
The town's infrastructure construction has been in full swing, from spring to late autumn and early winter, with projects one after another, repairs here, construction there, and the town is starting to take shape little by little.
There are now two high-end residential areas, a dozen or so ordinary residential areas of various sizes, a food court, a grocery shopping street, a central square, a fitness trail, open-air and outdoor theaters, and more than a dozen essential fitness training centers...
Tens of thousands of townspeople live here, go to get off work and come home, work hard, and relax and have fun.
The other survivors who have not yet been able to join the town envy the life in the town, and gradually establish some small gathering places in the surrounding villages and towns, accepting the unified supervision and management of the town.
A residential cluster with Qiao Town as its center and a wide radiating area has been formed.
All aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation are developing steadily, and there are talents in all walks of life - this is also thanks to Han Ying and Feng Ting. The talents they helped Qiao Lan screen in Beijing were later brought back by Qiao Lan by plane. Most of them settled down in Qiao Town and became leaders in various industries.
The planes transporting personnel and cargo back to Qiao Town were requested by Qiao Lan and Wei Jianshe. Half of them returned to Beijing, while the others remained in Qiao Town, becoming her personal property. These were earned through her various contributions, not forced possession. The mechanical bird Ye Qi had promised her during the Eastern Front was also among them.
There are both fighter jets and passenger planes, which will be of great use in the construction of Qiao Town.
Qiao Lan not only has an organic group, but also a fleet of vehicles, including off-road vehicles, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles... all kinds of fleets, suitable for various construction and combat needs.
The rich lady lord has it all.
The military strength is also quite strong, otherwise it would become a fat sheep to be slaughtered at will.
The town had its own military and police system, consisting of combat troops, a public security force, a special elite warrior group, and independent groups formed by several special talents such as Wen Jiaojiao. Any of these combat groups could instantly dissuade anyone with malicious intentions and force them to submit.
The medical system has also taken shape.
After Ouyang Mo left, Dr. Zhao Hui took over as the director of Qiao Town First Hospital. She led a team of medical staff, primarily responsible for treating common injuries and illnesses.
Regarding supernatural healing, Hou Tian took the lead and established a healing research institute. It was small, but later a few awakened healing practitioners joined in. They studied healing abilities and applied their findings to actual combat.
The only problem is that Hou Tian's healing abilities are powerful, but he can't use them lightly, or he'll age or even die. One of Zhou Ping's research projects is to find a way to slow Hou Tian's aging process, but so far there hasn't been much progress, and Hou Tian remains gray-haired and wrinkled.
"Boss, I'll toast you a glass."
Winter is coming. At the New Year's Eve dinner, Hou Tian comes over to thank Qiao Lan, leaning on a cane and holding a full glass of red wine.
"Or, I should call you senior sister." He later found out that Qiao Lan was also a student of C University.
More than a year ago, when the disaster struck, they met for the first time on the campus of C University. Qiao Lan gave the members of their self-rescue team several brand new bicycles and loudspeakers to promote evacuation.
How could he have imagined that this day would come?
His companions in the self-rescue team, the brothers he had been with day and night, all died, and he almost died at the hands of Zhang, the messenger from the temple.
It was Qiao Lan who saved him again.
The Temple was destroyed, and his wish to avenge his brothers and kill the messenger Zhang with his own hands was also realized. It was Ye Qi who sent people to capture Zhang after the war, and Qiao Lan handed him over to him.
The world is destroyed and the world is reborn.
Qiao Lan saved him from destruction and led him to a new life. Like many others, he received Qiao Lan's kindness and had no way to repay her.
When he sacrificed his life to save Old Guo, he was determined to repay Qiao Lan by using all his energy to revive him, even if he died. But unexpectedly, Old Guo survived, and he didn't die either. So, every day of this new life is a gift from God.
"Senior, cheers!"
After drinking the wine in his glass in one gulp, Hou Tian gave Qiao Lan New Year's greetings: "I wish Qiao Zhen will get better and better, and I wish you happiness every day in the future."
"We all need to be happy and brave, rushing to the mountains and the sea, and moving forward courageously."
Qiao Lan smiled, clinked glasses, and drank it all.
