Chapter 298. Echoes of Kindness

Because an agreement was reached with Song Zizhi to help Rose Transportation clean up the polluted area.

For the next few months, Jiang Jianxin wore a hood and traveled between various contaminated areas.

During this time, she also received tasks from the Fools' Society, but they were all routine matters within the society, and there was nothing that required a major offensive.

Jiang Jianxin knew that Xie Yan and the others were busy recruiting new members and helping the new Fools adapt to the society's environment.

The personnel structure is not yet in place, so it is indeed not suitable to confront those established forces.

During this period, the History Department also recruited several new fools, who, unsurprisingly, were all masterpieces from Tingyutan's previous works.

She also personally retrieved the original team member who had been unable to be contacted from the contaminated area.

It was a dim-witted, colorful parrot-like beastman. When Jiang Jianxin pulled her out of the contaminated area, she had already lost the ability to transform into a human. She could only flap her wings and snuggle into Jiang Jianxin's arms, blankly repeating:
"A sea of ​​flowers! A sea of ​​flowers! Sister! Sister!"

This is the interior environment of that polluted area. She lost a lot of intelligence and her memory was severely damaged in the polluted area of ​​the flower sea.

Because these historical fools are a bunch of ghosts, Jiang Jianxin's intuition warned him not to meet them in person, and to only communicate with them online.

The specific reason given was vague, but the general idea was that ghosts shouldn't meet with Yama, the King of Hell, as it would easily dissipate their ghostly aura.

Jiang Jianxin didn't understand the meaning, but he obediently didn't meet his subordinates in person—after all, they were all historical figures, and if you were curious about their appearance, you could just look them up in history books; there was really no need to meet them in person.

After rescuing the parrot-like beastman, Jiang Jianxin quickly sent her back to the Fools' Society.

Intuitively, it doesn't matter if she sees her in her beast form now; the real problem is if she suddenly reverts to human form and catches a glimpse of her again, then it's hard to say.

Jiang Jianxin was quite afraid of losing his capable subordinate, so he dared not neglect him in the slightest.

As for why the Fool of the Primal Group was an orc, intuition provides the answer.

It cites the demon race in the cultivation world as an example, pointing out that this beastman is nothing more than a variant of the demon race, just with a different name.

With this example, Jiang Jianxin quickly understood the meaning of the original group.

She just felt a little regretful; if she had come to Rose Transportation earlier, she might have been able to rescue the parrot girl sooner.

Before the girl was corrupted, she must have been as eloquent as Xie Yan described.

But she can't speak properly now, she can only tilt her head and stare blankly at her with her beautiful big eyes.

Jiang Jianxin felt a sadness that came out of nowhere.

This distress was alleviated in the second month after the cleanup of the contaminated area.

At that time, she pulled a young woman out of the contaminated area. That woman was an officer from the Rose Group's armed forces who had been sucked into the contaminated area.

When Jiang Jianxin rescued her, one of her legs had already been corroded away.

At Rose Transportation, mechanical prostheses are not allowed for broken legs, so Jun Yunqi spent a lot of money to buy a more expensive non-mechanical silicone leg from Dream Pavilion.

Its function is similar to that of a mechanical leg, or even more cumbersome, but its price is several times that of the mechanical prosthetics from Black Eye Pharmaceuticals.

No one knows why Dream Pavilion produces this kind of prosthetic limb, nor does anyone know why Jun Yunqi placed a bulk order.

But the one who has no shortage of money is the God of Wealth's representative, and no one dares to say anything to her. After the prosthetic leg was installed, female officers could occasionally be seen sitting in wheelchairs showing off their legs.

The silicone legs contain a new type of material that, when exposed to sunlight, can make the prosthetic legs more flexible.

Although Jiang Jianxin is considered a top-tier expert, he has never been arrogant. Even when he wears the aloof wizard's disguise, he remains approachable.

After cleaning the contaminated area, she came ashore covered in blood. While cleaning the bloodstains off her hood, she would sit and chat with the female officer for a few minutes.

The conversation was originally set out to focus solely on the contaminated area, but the female officer became quite excited after overhearing that the Rainbow Witch had met the Sword Master.

She said that at the beginning of the apocalypse, she was saved by the Sword Master in a supermarket.

At that time, a man kidnapped a group of women and raped them one by one. Fortunately, the Sword Master intervened and she escaped.

She was just an ordinary office worker, but the sudden disaster left her in a state of confusion, with no idea how to cope.

It was the Sword Master who told her to go out in the rain, to take a chance to awaken her talent, to transcend her social class, and thus transform from an ordinary person into a chosen one of heaven.

The person who offered kind advice was instead met with an unpleasant response.

At that time, most of the women in the supermarket huddled together and dared not go out. She curled up in a corner, and her usually dazed mind cleared up for once. She quietly slipped out the door and faced the torrential rain.

—She awakened advanced combat talent and was no longer someone else's prey.

Later, thanks to his talent, he was appreciated by Song Zizhi and joined Rose Transportation.

Looking back now, her biggest regret is that she was cowardly and hesitant at the time, failing to shield the Sword Master from the eggs thrown at her, and also failing to sincerely thank him.

As she spoke, the female officer's face darkened, and her lips were slightly pursed.

She was genuinely disappointed and saddened.

Jiang Jianxin froze on the spot after hearing these words.

More than half a year has passed since the apocalypse, and she has grown a lot.

Occasionally, when she recalls the time she saved someone at the supermarket, she gradually understands Lin Xin'an's sarcasm back then, and even feels that perhaps turning around and leaving would have been the best choice at that time—why bother with words of advice, and how many people would listen anyway?

She possesses power and status, and is adored by countless people. She doesn't need to bother to enlighten those humble ordinary people, nor does she need to say anything more to those muddle-headed women.

She never mentioned these changes in her thinking to anyone; they would only suddenly surface when she reminisced about the past.

Jiang Jianxin sometimes felt that this was right, and sometimes he felt that this was wrong.

This unresolved issue had been troubling me for so long, and only now, upon hearing the other person's words of remorse and gratitude—

All the worries vanished in an instant.

What does it matter if she was right or wrong? At least she saved a girl.

People are often reluctant to do good deeds because kindness often yields no results and rarely receives any feedback.

But when kindness touches the ground and resonates...

It remains the most beautiful virtue in the world.
