Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

"Everyone has come here voluntarily to welcome you, Mr. Lu. After all... we all witnessed Mr. Lu's heroic performance this afternoon."

Speaking of which.

An Suo's amber eyes flashed with a strong brilliance.

The scene of that afternoon came back to her mind.

When the huge monster over 300 meters tall was about to attack Longmen, Lu Yuan, who was standing on a wooden man over 300 meters tall like a god, suddenly punched the monster in the face and turned his back on everyone.

Such a scene.

Even the most talented director cannot restore this scene 100%. Even if the surface actions can be restored, the core of people's hearts cannot be restored.

"Mr. Lu!!"

At this time, behind Ansuo, the senior leaders of the Minliang Association represented by Short Tornado and others and the leaders of various gangs bowed in unison.

Everyone bent their waists very low, including the new leader of the Blood Hand Gang, Blood Hand.

"Mr. Lu!! On behalf of the Minliang Association and the leaders of various gangs, I swear to you that we will always be loyal to you, Mr. Lu!"

When he said this, Dwarf Tornado's voice was trembling, and the trembling was due to nervousness and excitement.

On the one hand, he was originally the leader of the Little Karami Gang in Block 79, but just one year later, he transformed himself into the spokesperson representing the gangs in the entire area. Even the leader of the Bloody Hand Gang, whom he dared not look at directly in the past, stood behind him.

Dwarf Cyclone, on the other hand, knew.

I'm with the right person.

This was not just the thought of Short Tornado, but also the thought of all the senior leaders of the Minliang Association and all the gang leaders present.

They all witnessed the grand scene this afternoon with their own eyes.

Lu Yuan stood proudly on the wooden man. When he clapped his hands, a forest appeared. When he raised his hand, a thousand-meter-long water dragon fell from the sky.

Just ask, what is the difference between such power and the illusory "God"? Moreover, Mr. Lu Yuan is still very young, and his future is truly limitless.

and.

Lu Yuan's future is not likely to be just in the slums, just in Longmen, the future may...

When I think of the vast future.

They couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

For a while.

They looked back on their so-called underworld struggles over the years, fighting to the death for a tiny bit of Longmen coins and territory. This was really too childish and too low-level.

As long as you are qualified to step into a higher level in the future, who will care about the fights between gangs over trivial matters?

Everyone also deeply understood in their hearts how promising the future was by following Lu Yuan.

So, they all swore an oath excitedly, fearing that if they were a step late, Lu Yuan would not let them follow him.

"I don't need your loyalty to me. I just hope you can always remember the purpose of the 'Civil Food Association'."

After saying that, Lu Yuan was ready to go back and rest, but An Suo whispered a few words in Lu Yuan's ear.

"The Rat King is waiting for me?!"

After listening to it, he did not go to rest, but immediately got in the car and, surrounded by people and cheering, arrived at the headquarters of the Minliang Association in Block 79 from Block 55.

Under the leadership of Ansuo.

Lu Yuan pushed open the door of the reception room.

As soon as I entered.

Then he saw the Rat King Lin Gerui, who was wearing a coat and had a hunched figure, sitting on the sofa in the reception room, leaning on a cane with hot tea and snacks beside him.

“Uncle Lin!!”

Lu Yuan walked over immediately, speaking in a very polite tone.

"Why didn't you call me and wait for me here?"

Lin Gerui smiled kindly.

"I know you're busy, Xiao Yuan, so I didn't bother you, and I didn't ask your secretary to inform you in advance."

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw An Suo nodded slightly.

In fact, when the Rat King first came, An Suo was also quite surprised. After all, the name of the Rat King could be said to be a real legend in the slums. Few people had ever seen what the Rat King looked like. They only knew that he was the real "king" in the slums, with all-powerful hands and eyes. Nothing could be hidden from the Rat King's eyes.

Now, the Rat King came to find Lu Yuan in person, and was even willing to sit in the reception hall and wait. Moreover, the legendary Rat King turned out to be an old man who looked very young.

This alone was enough to shock An Suo many times.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, the title of Rat King was given decades ago. How could he not be old after so many decades?

The Rat King smiled and said, "Besides, I am not here as the King of the Slums, but as an ordinary father."

"I've heard from Yuxia that if you hadn't arrived in time, I might have lost my daughter forever."

"Here, as a father, I would like to express my gratitude to you, Xiao Yuan."

Seeing that the Rat King was about to get up, Lu Yuan hurriedly grabbed the Rat King.

"Uncle Lin, you are too serious! You are too serious!"

"Besides, Yuxia is my friend. She has helped me so much over the past year. If I hadn't saved her, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life."

The Rat King looked Lu Yuan up and down, with satisfaction in his eyes. He asked Lu Yuan to sit down next to him, and then his expression restrained and returned to the look of an elder.

"I came here this time not only to express my gratitude to you, Xiao Yuan, but also to give you a brief account of the whole story."

After hearing what the Rat King said, Lu Yuan finally understood everything.

It turns out that the ultimate goal of this cult is to use the ochre crystal to lure out the infected creatures from underground, let the infected creatures destroy Longmen, and plunge Longmen into endless chaos as much as possible.

The biggest financial backer behind this cult is the chairman of a well-known pharmaceutical company in Shangcheng District. The chairman is old and suffers from an incurable disease that cannot be cured no matter how much money is offered.

Later, the cult contacted the chairman.

Sometimes, the higher a person's position, the older he gets, or the more helpless he becomes, the more likely he is to trust in something illusory.

He began to believe that the Scourge was meant to purify people, and that being swallowed by the Scourge Messenger, the giant infected creature, would allow them to be reborn as young adults.

Therefore, he had been planning in collaboration with the cult a long time ago.

The ochre-colored crystal that attracted the infected creatures came from underground and was called "Rock Marrow". The infected creatures gradually mutated after devouring "Rock Marrow" in large quantities for a long time.

After collecting a large amount of marrow, he began to plan.

Moreover, for this plan, he specially formed the Longmen Business Alliance with the capital tycoons in every field in Shangcheng District.

As for the purpose, after the "Messenger of Natural Disaster" attacks Longmen and causes huge losses to Longmen, their alliance will take action to control all of Longmen's necessities of life, thereby indirectly controlling Longmen.

And he will be reborn as a young man and take charge of the entire Longmen.

"This is a bit too outrageous, do you believe this?"

After listening to the Rat King's explanation of the whole story, Lu Yuan suddenly understood everything and couldn't help but complain.

"This is the obsession of the dying. When current medicine can no longer cure them, they will believe in any unconventional metaphysical method."

The Rat King said.

“Similarly, they are even more unscrupulous…”

"So, Uncle Lin, the old guy who was swallowed by the infected creature has been resurrected in his younger form?"

Lu Yuan said jokingly with a smile.

"of course not."

Lin Bo said, "If he really were to be resurrected in a younger form, then I estimate that everyone in the world would join this cult without hesitation. At the same time, this cult would no longer be a cult, but a legitimate religion."

Lu Yuan and An Suo smiled.

Seeing that the tea was getting a little cold, An Suo quickly stood up and added a little more tea to the Rat King's cup.

"But, Uncle Lin, I still have one question: What connection does the Red Flower Society have with this cult? Are they also accomplices?"

When the Rat King heard Lu Yuan asking this question, he immediately began to explain.

“He is indeed an accomplice.”

"This, this Red Flower Society has a deep connection with you and me."

"With me?"

Lu Yuan was stunned. He didn't remember any connection between him and the people from the Red Flower Society.

"The leader of the Red Flower Society, nicknamed 'Master Hu,' is one of Longmen's oldest underworld forces. His greatest wish is to take my place and dominate the entire slum. However, during this time, you appeared, Xiao Yuan. Your presence greatly thwarted his plans, and he has since come to regard you as a thorn in his side."

"In fact, the subsequent assassination attempts on you were instigated by this Mr. Hu. He even joined the Business Alliance just to deal with you."

"It's a pity...failure..."

"Actually, yesterday afternoon, this guy came to me and threatened me to kill you, claiming you broke the rules and using the lives of his entire gang as leverage."

"He doesn't have much direct connection with the cult."

"However, this Old Hu is truly pathetic. He clearly wanted you dead, Xiao Yuan, and considered you a thorn in his side, but in the end, Xiao Yuan, you didn't even know he existed."

"It's really outrageous that a person can survive to this point."

After the Rat King said this.

Lu Yuan finally understood the whole story. Of course, he also knew that in the dark corner of the slums there was a "die-hard anti-fan" of his who tried every means to kill him, but failed once and ended up getting himself killed.

To be honest, he's quite a clown.

"So, that Old Hu now..."

Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and wiped his neck.

"No...."

"I can't possibly let him die so easily. Even though the appearance of that monster has little to do with him, it would still have appeared even without him. As one of the masterminds, he, like those capitalist forces, bears an unshirkable responsibility."

"Death is the greatest relief for them. Therefore, the Imperial Guard and I will not allow these people to die so easily. They must die in front of everyone, amidst the curses and spitting."

After saying that, the Rat King slowly stood up with the help of his crutches.

"I should probably leave..."

"Your previous performance was watched by many people in the slums. Even as an old man, I had a little bit of selfish motives and promoted you. Now, almost everyone in the slums should regard you as an idol and a savior."

"Follow-up, I'll leave the slums to you."

With the help of Lu Yuan and An Suo, the Rat King got on a special car and left here.

Looking at the backs of the Rat King's convoy as it left, and the people in Block 55 celebrating all night, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, stretched, and yawned loudly.

"It's almost over."

The purpose of the Rat King's words was quite obvious.

Today, the five major underworld forces that give the Rat King the most headaches have been completely shattered.

The Blood Hand Gang officially merged into the Minliang Society. With the deaths of two consecutive leaders, the Black Tower Society is expected to be in chaos. With the death of Mr. Hu, the Red Flower Society has completely lost its appeal. As for the remaining two, according to the description of the Rat King, they are almost completely devoted to the Minliang Society.

According to this calculation.

It seemed that there was nothing in the entire Longmen that could hinder his advance. All he needed was enough fields, enough factories, and enough capital flow.

It was no problem for Lu Yuan to expand the scope of the Civilian Food Association to the entire slum.

After all, the Rat King has already agreed completely.

That night.

After sending the Rat King away, Lu Yuan immediately returned to his room at the Civilian Grain Association headquarters and went to sleep.

Lu Yuan slept very comfortably this time.

But the battlefield outside Longmen is really busy

Due to the lack of experts in this field, it is not known how the body of this creature should be handled.

As a result, a lot of problems suddenly arose in terms of processing.

If it is burned hard, leaving aside other things, the large amount of black smoke produced by the burning corpse will float above the gantry.
