Sir! Don't close the net!

Only those who possess the same power and would never turn a blind eye to such behavior can deal with those who command vast organizations and are favored by the gods.

Chapter Sixty-Two [Humans]

"Is this all you need to do? Are you sure you don't need me to take you all the way to your door?"

Faced with Li Yili's kindness, Shub simply shook her head, turned around and walked onto the sidewalk, slowly strolling towards the residential area.

“Yes, they are quite vigilant, which is a good thing,” Li Yili nodded with her hands on her hips.

After all, when a man says "I'll take you to your doorstep," there's a very high chance he'll follow up with "Can I come in for a bit?", then "Where's your room?", and then, of course, things like "I'll send you to heaven, cough cough cough"...

However, it was still a little disappointing that he declined his offer so readily, after all, they had just been through thick and thin together.

Li Yili believed that she had acted very manly and reliable at the Guoweidun Temple, and although she was followed by Shub the whole way without being discovered... but that was not a big problem!

So, it's time for that suspension bridge effect to happen a little bit, to give people a brief surge in goodwill, and to have a little bit of the "this is just a mistake, but we can continue making mistakes" development.

Li Yili scratched the back of his head, exhaled a breath, and only after Shub had completely disappeared from his sight did he pull his backpack and head home.

He had roughly guessed the answer to the question of Yerobo An's [early] return. Yerobo An did not intend to perform a séance; he only wanted to extract the power of the legacy within the contaminants from the Guoweidun Temple. Judging from the number of Caramel People and the extraction speed, Yerobo An could purify the contaminants from Guoweidun in half a day at most, unlike a séance which required various arrangements.

As long as they are transferred here, the sooner the better. Yerobo An, the deputy minister of the Monster Hammer of the Rahu region, certainly didn't care about any problems that might arise afterward, because he had already left by then.

Therefore, even if those Cloud Enforcement executives give up and come up with flawed plans that will soon be discovered, Yeropon will simply stamp them with his seal.

However, someone else will handle this problem, and he has other things to do before going home.

Li Yili glanced sideways, her eyes taking in the tallest building in Guoweidun, Eden Church.

"El, you have to treat us to dinner later."

El was taken aback, looking at Heman and Joel, who were walking towards him with their arms around each other, with a face full of question marks.

"what……?"

“So, if it weren’t for the two of us helping you with the plan, you might be,” Heman gestured and nodded toward the top of his head, “if the Optimal Executive were the last to finish the plan, that would be incredibly embarrassing. Although, well, you were still the last to finish, at least you didn’t have to make the plan under the watchful eyes of those annoying guys.”

“That’s true, it’s enough to give you a headache,” Joel let out a long sigh. “Don’t those guys have any idea why they were able to approve the plan so quickly?”

El froze, a terrible premonition washing over him. He grabbed Joel's shoulder. "Wait! The plans are all approved? So, all those orders were completed in such a short time?!"

“Yes, they’ve all been taken to be processed, but it’s evening now, so they should be delivered around the afternoon of the day after tomorrow,” Joel shifted his shoulder uncomfortably. “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

"No, no, no! Is that even possible normally?!" El shook his head vigorously. "Have you forgotten how long we prepared to move that batch of pollutants? Now we have to move even more pollutants on top of the already massive amount we've already transported! The Crusade isn't blind!"

Hearing El's shout, Heman and Joel couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, they were long-time employees, and they understood the problem El was talking about, but they were sure that Vice Minister Yeropo An also understood it! Since Yeropo An had already confirmed that there was no problem, what did they, as junior employees, have to worry about?

"No, I need to see the plan you've prepared!"

Upon hearing El's words, Heman and Joel's expressions changed, and they quickly stepped in front of El, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

"Well, um... the acting minister said it's done very well, what are you worried about?"

"That's right, that's right, we've been doing this for so many years."

Heman and Joel gestured frantically, much like elementary school students who had guessed all the multiple-choice questions to save time, only to have their homework checked by the teacher on the spot when they handed it in.

The more Hyman and Joel explained, the more certain El was that the plan was flawed. So he stopped talking and simply walked right through Hyman and Joel, heading straight for the Execution Department. Seeing that they couldn't stop El, Hyman and Joel lowered their heads and followed behind him.

Because there were many plans, and it was nighttime, the execution department still had quite a few plans waiting to be implemented.

Ignoring the expressions of Yun Zhong from the Executive Department, El picked up a stack of proposals and placed them on the table to the side. He quickly began flipping through them, and with each page he turned, El's expression became more distorted, and his page-turning movements gradually became more agitated.

In the end, El couldn't hold back and punched him.

On the plan, he turned and glared at Heman and Joel, who were laughing awkwardly.

"Your plans are all like this? Are you crazy?!"

"Hahaha—"

Heman and Joel laughed awkwardly and looked away. They thought they might be crazy, but if everyone was like this, then it was normal.

"Don't worry about El, we just need to provide the plan. The other department is in charge of the transportation."

"Yes, yes, all we need to do is receive it. The other department must have already prepared all the necessary measures, otherwise the acting minister wouldn't have agreed so easily. They are all large departments, and they certainly don't want to be dragged into this, right?"

El took a deep breath. He had only had a feeling before, but now that Seaman and Joel had explained it, he was certain of a possibility.

"What if those departments are planning to give us those goods that are stuck in our hands and can't be disposed of, and that they've already been targeted?"

Heman and Joel froze, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

Pollutants are a valuable resource for every sector except for life itself, and they are rarely stored. However, there is another situation where excess pollutants accumulate: when there are oversights during smuggling, and the smugglers are targeted or even investigated, and can only keep them on hand and cover them up with a pile of ledgers.

For various departments that are still in power, these pollutants are like jokers in their hands. As long as they are still in their hands, they must spend a lot of energy and manpower to maintain and cover them up. If someone is willing to take them, those departments will be quite happy to hand them over.

For example, their black goat calves.

"Damn it!"

As Li Yili walked along the desolate path, her pupils contracted slightly. Under the dazzling yet blurry halo, a person was squatting in the grass, his shoulders swaying with a chilling chewing sound.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Fat Man

Li Yili remembers that she used to often complain about something at the beginning of zombie movies.

That zombie practically had "I'm the problem" written all over its face, why did it approach? Never been scammed before? If you haven't been scammed, you must have seen the news, right? It's a perfect example of misdirected social commentary, is it a Western production? Oh well, zombies should be cared for too.

Then, in order to be cared for and have political privileges, everyone turned into zombies, and then the privileges fell to the few remaining humans, who could blow the heads off former privileged individuals at will. It's truly a hellish joke, the kind that makes you lose ten years of good karma if you laugh at it.

Li Yili slowly took a step back, moved to the left, and grabbed the leg of the small stool hanging on her lower back with her left hand. Because she was too lazy to go back to the security booth, she simply took it home with her. Her eyes were fixed on the [person] in the bushes.

The light pierced through the leaves and fell on the person who was squatting on the ground, seemingly unaware of what he was eating. The first thing Li Yili saw was the bald head.

As for why it's not described as bald, it's because the person eating in front of us looks excessively obese, with layers of scalp piled up, and an nauseating sheen of oil.

His body was also unusually bloated, with layers of rotten flesh covering his skin.

He raised his head and slowly turned to look at Li Yili. He had no lips, only a ring of pinkish-white wounds, and his pale white teeth were all exposed. His eyes were covered by layers of overlapping flesh, leaving only a slit.

Li Yili's gaze shifted downwards, and he was holding a blurry lump of flesh between his thick, radish-like fingers. Its original shape was unrecognizable, but there were many feathers scattered around it, so it must have been a bird.

Li Yili was somewhat surprised that such a bulky body could actually catch birds.

The moment Li Yili glanced at the surrounding feathers, his bloated body burst forth with astonishing power, bouncing up like a ball and crashing towards Li Yili. His lipless mouth opened wide, and the stench emanating from it made Li Yili instinctively frown.

He seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere before, but he didn't have a weird urge to smell bad, so he wasn't sure.

Li Yili bent over and rolled away, but he obviously didn't consider that his attack would miss. He crashed headfirst into the small tree behind Li Yili. The trunk, which was only as thick as a wrist, broke on the spot, and his bloated body slumped down like a ball that was only a third inflated, enveloping the broken end of the trunk.

Li Yili got up, turned her head to check the position of the tree trunk, and then quickly walked to the side of [him] who had not yet gotten up. She leaped down and stomped on it. The abnormal sensation brought by the layers of fat made Li Yili's scalp tingle, but she still gritted her teeth and stepped on it.

"laugh--"

The sharp tree trunk, splattered with pale yellow fat, pierced his shoulder.

Li Yili felt a sudden physical discomfort and quickly took a few steps back, rubbing herself hard on the ground before looking in his direction.

He didn't seem to be very intelligent; he could stand up simply by adjusting his body, but he thrashed about on the ground like a four-legged beast, trying to break the small tree piercing his body. However, because his body was too bloated and obese, this lateral struggle only aggravated his injuries.

Watching the pale yellow fat dripping onto the ground as he struggled, Li Yili felt a sudden nausea and almost vomited. She gripped her hands tightly, recalling the feel of the oversized, soft body of Shub before regaining her senses.

Restore a little bit of the sanity value.

"Evil—I'll call you Fat Man then."

Li Yili gagged twice and took a few steps back to avoid getting fat on him. After mentally preparing herself, Li Yili began to seriously examine this fat man.

Besides disgusting, he couldn't think of any other adjective to describe it. It actually matched the Temple of Gowwittons quite well. If this thing suddenly appeared while he was exploring the Temple of Gowwittons, he would probably be so frightened that he would have a shock on the spot.

“A conversation…it seems impossible,” Li Yili said, tilting her head and letting out a long sigh after confirming for a while.

This fat man seemed to have his vocal cords compressed by fat, only able to produce some indistinct sounds that could only be described as viscous. He did react to his voice, but it was more like the urge of a wild beast that had been starving for days to hunt for live prey.

Although it's hard to associate this overweight, well-fed appearance with a wild beast that's been starving for days, but...

Li Yili stood up and gripped the small stool tightly in her hand.

His hungry appearance reminded him of the Temple of Gowwitten, which was also filled with hunger.

Li Yili recalled the "people" who had broken into his ranch and feasted last night. Although one was as thin as a monkey and the other was a fat man, they both looked exactly the same when they were hungry.

He had been in Guoweidun for more than half a year without encountering anything like this, but a bunch of strange things happened as soon as Yeropon arrived.

“Damn it—what kind of things did Yerobo An bring in?” Li Yili sighed deeply, slowly raising the small stool in her hand and pointing the sharp part at the back of the fat man’s head.

The thick layer of fat could cushion some of the impact, but this was the only weapon he had. A few more blows to the back of his head and he'd be dead.

Judging from the fat man's behavior, he would obviously attack living things indiscriminately. He is the only one who usually travels this road, but it would be terrible if he went down the road to the residential area and attacked the elderly Guo Weidun who lived on the outskirts and were powerless.

Anyway, it's just a humanoid monster...

Li Yili, expressionless, raised the stool in her hand and slammed it down on the back of the fat man's head.

"Luckily, you attacked me."

"Help... help..."

A faint sound reached Li Yili's ears, and her pupils contracted sharply as the stool stopped above the back of the fat man's head.

Li Yili stared in disbelief at the fat man pierced by the tree trunk.

A human voice?

This guy... is he human?!

"Who are you?"

In the instant Li Yili was stunned, the fat man suddenly raised his body, and the thick tree trunk, like a hot knife slicing through butter, cut through the fat man's greasy shoulder fat, tearing open the skin that was stretched to its limit by the fat and was almost transparent.

"puff--"

Pale yellow fat spurted up like a fountain. Li Yili jumped back in fright and defiantly raised the stool in her hand. The fat man was actually frightened. He paused, turned around, covered his head, and ran into the distance under the strange halo of light. Soon, he was just a drifting black dot.

Chapter Sixty-Four: That's nothing but a fantasy called Earth Civilization

"Mr. Richard."

“It’s Mr. Li Yili,” Li Yili said, leaning back in the comfortable chair and feeling the breeze on her face. “However, I must say that converting the carriage into a convertible was the best decision you ever made, Yolan.”

I don't know if it was because I was in a good mood, but the sun was exceptionally bright today, diluting the starlight that made him uncomfortable as if it didn't exist.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Richard."

Yolan didn't turn around, but simply nodded calmly and continued driving the carriage forward.
