He instigated conflict among those God-Favored, broke down countless barriers, and caused unimaginable disaster and panic.
This matter needs to be investigated.
As Song Xiaozhu walked through each Testing Ground and established each 'base,' she witnessed countless displaced people and felt indescribable despair and sorrow.
They were all like the people living at the foot of the Garbage Mountain; perhaps they had been poor, miserable, and confined, but at least they were safe and able to struggle to have a warm home.
Of course, such a life needs to be improved, but it shouldn't be shattered with such a simple and cruel approach, pushing them into an even deeper abyss of death.
Song Xiaozhu was no longer willing to run away. She not only wanted to rescue Qiu Shuyu, but also wanted to settle things with Li Shijian, the instigator.
Before leaving, Song Xiaozhu and Xiao Yunjie talked for a long time, and what she explained was no longer just about Liu Family Village, but about these more than 300 "bases" - the manager can authorize, and Xiao Yunjie has enough authority and ability to carry out unified planning and management.
Song Xiaozhu chatted with Tian Man, Luo Liuzi Lu Xiaofang, and Lu Xiaochu for a while. The first two were still in charge of the shop's operation, and they always adhered to Song Xiaozhu's principle that profits should only be used for operation. The latter two were the key to connecting the various 'bases' and were already arranging for the construction of roads.
Song Xiaozhu instructed Tian Man and Luo Liuzi: "The shop should only deal in the most basic necessities and should not dabble in any consumer goods."
Tian Man and Luo Liuzi's eyes were red-rimmed. "Miss, we understand."
Song Xiaozhu then said to Lu Xiaochu and Lu Xiaofang, "There are enough 'roads' in the warehouse. When laying them, try to hire locals from various bases."
Before Lu Xiaochu could say anything, Lu Xiaofang stopped her sister and replied earnestly, "Miss, we understand."
She had confessed everything that needed to be confessed, Song Xiaozhu thought.
Looking at the ever-growing map on the Base Manager, and seeing the increasing number of scattered points, a wave of indescribable warmth welled up in my heart.
When she came into this world, all she thought about was how to survive.
Who knew that a single stroke of the hoe would move such a large piece of land?
" Xiao He."
"Um?"
"Thank you."
She still remembered what Song Xiaozhu had taught her, and replied earnestly, "You're welcome!"
Song Xiaozhu smiled, walked out of the shop, and headed towards the increasingly dilapidated temple that was no longer supported by the array.
Bai Jing remained the same as ever, leaning against the porch, lazily basking in the sun, smoking an old pipe, his hunched body seemingly ready to be laid to rest at any moment.
"Gentlemen."
"Miss, you're so busy, yet you still remember this old man."
Song Xiaozhu was already used to the old man's arrogant and awkward manner. She smiled and washed the teapot for him, then happily served it to him.
Her fair complexion and Bai Jing eyes exuded contentment.
Song Xiaozhu: "Sir, I want to go and pick up Shuyu."
Bai Jing paused, her hand holding the teacup still.
Song Xiaozhu: "Sir, you already knew, didn't you? Shuyu at the Han-Tang Group."
Because of the Heavenly King, she was hypnotized by Li Shijian and failed to notice many abnormalities, only thinking that Qiu Shuyu was receiving treatment and hoping that she would return on her own.
Bai Jing never touches his personal terminal, and he doesn't bother to learn about any information related to Skynet.
He certainly didn't know that Li Shijian was a "hypnotist." Firstly, the old man was stubborn and unwilling to accept new things, and secondly, he didn't trust Skynet —no matter how fair it was, there were still people behind it.
Bai Jing couldn't be hypnotized. He knew that Qiu Shuyu's situation was unclear, but he didn't remind Song Xiaozhu.
Bai Jing put down her teacup and sighed softly, "It's my fault for letting Xiao Qiu go to the city."
Song Xiaozhu shook her head. "You only gave me the ' Bodily Transmission Stone,' hoping the village would receive the protection of the Day After Tomorrow Society. I was the one who let her take it to the Holy City."
Bai Jing looked at her, the elderly man's eyes trembling slightly with tears in them. " Xiaozhu, will you blame me? Blame me for abandoning Xiao Qiu so that you could stay at the Testing Ground..."
Song Xiaozhu: "Sir, I know your feelings. Even if I had realized that something was wrong with Shuyu back then, and rushed to the Holy City rashly, I might not have been able to bring her back. I might even have been 'hypnotized' by Li Shijian and become his puppet."
At that time, no one knew what Li Shijian's profession was, nor did anyone know...
People know his background.
Bai Jing vaguely guessed that Li Shijian might have controlled Qiu Shuyu, but he chose not to tell Song Xiaozhu.
What's the point of saying it?
Song Xiaozhu will definitely rush to the Holy City, but what good will it do?
Even with the " Sword of Genesis," Song Xiaozhu might not have a chance of winning.
Qiu Shuyu was already trapped, and for both public and private reasons, Bai Jing did not want Song Xiaozhu to risk her life again.
Both are her flesh Bai Jing; Bai Jing couldn't think of a solution that satisfied both.
Song Xiaozhu added, "This matter really can't be rushed. Only when I know Li Shijian's profession will I be able to break through his 'hypnosis' and have the confidence to bring Shuyu back."
"Don't worry, sir, Shuyu and I will both come back safely."
A flurry of words welled up in Bai Jing's mouth, but in the end, he simply raised his hand and took out an exquisite brocade pouch from his bosom. "Take this."
Song Xiaozhu: "What is this?"
Bai Jing: " Li Shijian will definitely make you and Shuyu kill each other. You need to find a way to wake Shuyu up and then open this brocade pouch."
Song Xiaozhu caught the brocade pouch and nodded emphatically, "Okay."
Bai Jing glanced at the brocade pouch with lingering affection before turning her gaze away and slowly saying, " Xiaozhu, I used to have a good friend too. We met when we were young, just like you and Xiao Qiu, and grew up together. Later... we heard the 'prophecy' and founded the Day After Tomorrow Society."
That was a long-forgotten story, not long after the Great Cataclysm, about a group of people who truly survived the apocalypse and tenaciously fought against natural disasters.
Bai Jing is a " Physician " who is completely powerless.
Hou Chen was a ruthless and decisive warrior.
They were among the first Awakened, carving out their own niche in an era rife with Polluted Beast.
