A Maybach on a rainy night? Talk to my Levadin!

he does not know.

Hesitating, Lu Mingfei felt another hand on his shoulder; it was Senior Brother Chu.

"You should live for the people who care about you, and live with more dignity"—this is Chu Zihang's advice based on experience.

Zhao Zizhan half-squatted in front of Lu Mingfei, speaking each word clearly.

"Your senior brother Chu was poor in his youth. When he was a child, he and his mother often didn't know where their next meal would come from. They were so hungry that they drank cold water in the middle of the night to fill their stomachs..."

"Junior Sister Xia Mi, at such a young age, lost both her parents and has become the pillar of her family."

I'm so tired, so alone

"I recently encountered a major disaster and almost lost my life."

Lu Mingfei raised his head, his mouth slightly agape. He had never known any of this. In his eyes, Senior Brother Chu, who had been loved and adored since childhood, actually had such a past, and Senior Brother Zhao, who had always been nonchalant, actually had such an experience...

"Don't you think we're alike, Lu Mingfei?"

"Our past doesn't determine our future; only our own choices can determine what kind of person we become."

"Do you want to go back to your aunt's house and fool yourself into thinking that everything can just stay the same, or do you want to join us and live a decent life together?"

"..."

silence.

Zhao Zizhan closed his eyes, feeling utterly disappointed.

Just as he was about to get up, Lu Mingfei finally spoke: "I...I want to join!"

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Surveillance.

Although it has been decided that Lu Mingfei should be separated from his adoptive family, taking direct action at this time is clearly not advisable.

Despite being subjected to all kinds of abuse, Lu Mingfei still harbored some affection for that family.

This loser is still clinging to the mentality of wanting both, so Zhao Zizhan isn't in a hurry. Change requires gradual adjustments, and unless you're given the death of your lover right away, growth isn't something that happens quickly.

"We're currently at a critical stage of project development. With our current resources, it's clearly impossible for us to interfere in Lu Mingfei's family affairs while simultaneously working on the project. So, we'll have to ask you to bear with us for now. The day we complete the project will be the day we turn on each other."

At the dinner table, Zhao Zizhan finalized the first step in Lu Mingfei's plan to turn his life around: patience!

For now, we should be patient and avoid direct confrontation, while preparing our troops and training our horses to await an opportune moment.

"Is this okay? Isn't Lu Mingfei's aunt known for her terrible temper? Won't she just come to the school and throw a tantrum?"

Xia Mi was somewhat worried about Zhao Zizhan's plan.

Zhao Zizhan smiled slightly: "You know, many people who claim to have a straightforward and bad temper actually have a selective target for their temper venting."

"When facing their superiors or those with higher authority, they are able to control their temper well; in fact, their temper tends to improve in these situations."

"They are not born with a deficiency in emotional management, but rather they know who they can bully and who they cannot. This bad temper is their means of confirming their status and invading the psychological space of others."

"Senior Brother Zhao, you even know about psychology?"

Xia Mi exclaimed in amazement at the straight man's performance.

"I don't really understand, my colleague taught me," Zhao Zizhan waved his hand. He had been studying hard at Rhodes Island these past few days, absorbing all kinds of knowledge like a sponge. His incredibly useful new brain made him extremely efficient at learning anything.

Zhao Zizhan's current state is like stepping on his right foot to ascend to heaven. The injection of a large amount of blood can greatly improve Zhao Zizhan's state, and Zhao Zizhan can use the blood to stimulate the dragon blood and reactivate his state. He is like someone who has been chewing gum all day long and can't stop.

The powerful euphoria brought by endorphins, along with the feeling of constant alertness and increasing strength in his body, made Zhao Zizhan incredibly excited.

The Rhodes Island operators also began to realize that a little genius had come to the island.

"Senior Brother Zhao is already working?"

Three pairs of eyes immediately focused on Zhao Zizhan.

“Of course,” Zhao Zizhan pulled out his Rhodes Island employee badge from his pocket: “Here, take a look, my badge.”

Xianxun: Ba Yi Si Jiu Ling ③ Qie Ba

"I currently work for Rhode Island School of Medicine, a pharmaceutical company. I'd love to introduce you to my colleagues sometime."

Since everyone was on the same side, Zhao Zizhan felt he could gradually begin to reveal some of his own situation to everyone in order to pave the way for the future.

"This employee badge is so unique..."

Several people gathered around to look at Zhao Zizhan's name tag. It has to be said that Rhodes Island's rules and regulations are quite relaxed, and there are no restrictions on the customization of name tags. Each operator can DIY their name tag according to their own aesthetics and preferences, adding their favorite elements to make it have their own style.

Of course, in principle, the human resources department does not encourage the arbitrary alteration of employee badges, but in practice, management cannot be so impersonal. The unit that should be in charge of management should remain neutral and turn a blind eye, which is already a sign of support.

Zhao Zizhan's employee badge isn't overly flashy; it features a high-tech design with a small dragon icon added by Zhao Zizhan, which, combined with his personal artistic photo, makes it cool and unique.

"Senior, tell me the truth, how many hours do you watch cartoons every day?"

Lu Mingfei looked up. Based on the mysterious conversation between Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Chu, plus this completely unserious employee badge, Lu Mingfei seriously suspected that his Senior Brother Zhao was actually suffering from late-stage chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"Believe it or not," Zhao Zizhan snatched the employee badge and stuffed it into his pocket. "Our main project development and activity room are in my warehouse. I've already started making some renovations to that place. Our company logo is also there."

"So what does your company mainly do?"

"Pharmaceutical companies, of course, are there to treat illnesses and save lives."

After a pleasant meal, it was time to get down to business. Zhao Zizhan led everyone to his warehouse, which had been completely renovated every day. Zhao Zizhan had even separated the activity area from the supply receiving area. Rhodes Island was quite authoritative in industrial technology, and the once outdated warehouse now had a futuristic feel.

阡驩ノ╲㈠⒋㈨○⑶⑺⑨⑻

"Our main task today is still to make breakthroughs in algorithms. Xia Mi, we will try our best to help you integrate. Lu Mingfei, try not to play too much and keep yourself in good condition. We may need you to do some simple flight control later."

The group quickly got to work inside the warehouse, while outside, three heads huddled together, their expressions tense.

"This is outrageous! Are you sure we're hiding safely? That's the king of the earth and mountains, are you sure there's no problem?"

Su Enxi sounded a little nervous.

"Don't worry, nothing's happened. We've been keeping a close watch on you, can't you have a little more faith in me?"

"What do you think? Look at your legs, they're practically riddled with holes, and the goosebumps all over your body are making my skin ache," Su Enxi glanced at Jiu De Mai's long legs and said irritably.

"Nonsense, that's the Dragon King! Even you'd get numb if you stomped on him while monitoring him up close!"

Mai Shude retorted impatiently.

"Now that Lu Mingfei has been pulled into the team by this person, and there's also a Dragon King in the team, what do we do now?"

"This place is practically a dragon's lair, isn't it? The King of Earth and Mountains probably hasn't made any deals with Lu Mingfei, but that thing inside, who knows what it is, is a different story. This situation is clearly out of our control. Didn't the boss say he was going to make a move? What's going on now? If he doesn't act soon, who knows what this little white rabbit might turn into."

“He must have noticed it, but he can’t keep an eye on this place all the time, so he sent us to keep an eye on it,” Zero said softly.

"So what exactly is this person pretending to be a half-blood? How can he wield power without using the power of words?"

They witnessed Zhao Zizhan testing his abilities, and they were all greatly shocked because Zhao Zizhan showed no signs of using any magical energy.

This undoubtedly touches on a blind spot in everyone's knowledge.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Situation Escalates.

"No matter what the person's situation is, the boss will definitely be fine if he takes action." In Mai Shude's eyes, his boss is always omnipotent.

"So, did this person gain power by overcoming the limitations of the power of words, or is there another reason?"

When Zhao Zizhan approached Lu Mingfei, he was being watched by the three women. The three women were all stunned by Zhao Zizhan's outrageous behavior.

What the hell is this?

It consumes large amounts of food and biological blood every day. This thing doesn't look like a human at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is clearly an ordinary hybrid, and not even one with a high bloodline concentration. Yet its power is completely unrelated to its bloodline.

If bloodline power was used, then the boss would definitely know better than them. No one understands bloodlines better than the boss. However, Zhao Zizhan's condition left the boss speechless. It seemed that even he couldn't understand Zhao Zizhan's changes. He could only say that this person might have taken some unconventional route, which even the boss couldn't understand.

Such an unstable factor, being around Little Rabbit, would inevitably cause the situation to spiral out of control. Therefore, the main reason for sending the three of them over was to keep an eye on the group's situation and see what other changes had occurred.

Many things in the world are indirectly related. If a strange person who can bypass the power of bloodline suddenly approaches Lu Mingfei, then he must have an ulterior motive.

But now, their surveillance efforts have encountered a major obstacle.

That damned guy actually dragged a dragon king home!

The presence of the King of Earth and Mountains made the three of them dare not approach and observe as closely as before; the Dragon King's power restricted many of their actions.

Even the slightest movement would alert Xia Mi to the three of them.

They didn't know why Xia Mi joined the team. Perhaps Xia Mi had also noticed the strangeness of that person?

However, they knew that Xia Mi might appear as a well-behaved and adorable girl to others, but when facing the three ordinary mixed-race individuals, she would definitely strike with full force.

This was also Zhao Zizhan's plan. By bringing Xia Mi into the team, the Dragon King's intimidation could slightly restrain the Little Devil's forces. Jiu De Mai's surveillance ability was too strong and had to be limited, otherwise his biggest trump card of traveling between the two worlds might be exposed. As for Kassel, it was slightly better, as he had other arrangements.

Suddenly, a voice came through Mai's earpiece. She pressed one hand against the earpiece, her expression serious: "Boss? Huh? Me? Yes, okay, I understand..."

The situation at the integrated sports camp has worsened.

The previous expulsion not only failed to curb this infighting, but it escalated even further.

That's how management works. You never know what kind of troublemakers you have under your command, or what kind of chemical reaction your policies will produce with their sudden whims.

As for the true value of Ursus citizens, those who know, know.

This is exactly what is happening within the Reunification Movement today.

To say that the infected who come to join Reunion have much of a sense of belonging to the organization is obviously nonsense. As a newly established organization, those who have a sense of belonging in Reunion are basically veterans from the guerrilla era.

The composition of these members is clearly questionable. While they may not all be undercover agents, given the extremely harsh living conditions of the infected in the Ursus region, it is impossible to expect any moral compass from them.

Many people come to this organization simply to find a place where they can get enough to eat.

There's no such thing as joining an organization or building it together with everyone.

After actually joining the Reunion Movement, they wouldn't starve, but the food they actually ate wasn't very good.

No matter how abundant the resources are, they will become insufficient as more and more members join. In particular, the Reunion Movement is very controlling, forbidding people from doing this and that, which makes many people resentful.

Previously, the infected survived by killing ordinary people and robbing them. After joining your organization, you stopped them from doing that and now you're making them eat chaff and wild vegetables. Why should they?

Now, faced with the temptation that all it takes is a little trouble to obtain food supplies and escape this place, many people are tempted.

It sounds incredible, but this is what many infected people are really thinking.

What you're saying about the future of the infected, mutual understanding between people, and a completely new life—I don't understand. All I know is that I'm very hungry right now, and I need food!

Previously, some infected individuals who caused trouble not only did not receive punishment, but were instead given food, which became a strange form of encouragement—causing trouble meant getting food.

Although those who hold such views are still in the minority, the seeds of division have already been sown.

"I've said it many times before, we absolutely cannot plunder ordinary local people for the sake of supplies, so why are you still doing this!"

Talulah clutched her head, facing the infected refugees before her, her forehead throbbing with pain.

She had gone to great lengths to convince the surrounding villagers that they meant no harm and were simply stationed nearby. All that was needed now was for both sides to exchange information, and they would be able to obtain supplies through normal channels.

But today, he saw these infected people return to the camp with food and warm clothing.

【乾寻】８⒈四乆0③ ⒎㈨/

He didn't recognize the food, but she did recognize the clothes. They were the clothes of Aunt Tatiana from the village, the kind old woman who had welcomed her without any hesitation and even cooked her a meal when she first visited the village.

Her clothes are here, but where is the old lady? How is she?

⒏ⅰ 缌叔叔灵散企９母

She didn't dare to think about it.

Talulah felt a nameless anger rising within her, but she didn't know who to vent it on. Should she take it out on the Infected? But they were her own people…

“We’re just too hungry. The food rations from your camp aren’t enough to satisfy us, so of course we have to go out and find food. Those ordinary people made us infected, so what’s wrong with us taking their food? It’s clearly you, the infected person, who’s been siding with the ordinary people that’s the problem!”

"How dare you talk back to the leader! Oh, waah... let me go...!!"
