Zhao Changqing and Zhao Keqing

On the sixth day of Zhang Xuezhou in Changqing City, Wang Haoran and others began to lead a group to visit the Zhao family.

When Wang Haoran led his delegation on the visit, he was accompanied by eight special task force members. Li Yingbo also brought eight people, and Zhu Liangping also brought eight people.

This made Zhang Xuezhou, who was wearing a special task force uniform, inconspicuous.

The fact that the three committee members made a series of visits to numerous Lineage in Changqing City made many people uneasy, and some received them with extreme caution.

The Zhao family was no exception; all direct descendants of the Zhao family were present, even Zhao Changqing, who was paralyzed from the waist down, accompanied them in a wheelchair.

Zhao Changqing belongs to the Fifth Sequence. Although he is relatively old, his sequence strength has not reached the standard of the old age policy. The paralysis of the other party has also reduced Zhao Changqing's threat level to zero, making it difficult for him to cause any trouble in his old age.

"Chairman Li is right. If we could plant all our crops everywhere, it would definitely be a good thing. I'm not bragging, but our Zhao family has cultivated 280 high-yield genetically modified grains. These crops have their own unique characteristics in terms of yield compared to those in other provinces and cities, but ours all have an extremely delicious taste. I've eaten genetically modified crops from some other provinces and cities, and they're tasteless and like chewing wax; they're simply not fit for human consumption..."

Zhao Changqing is nearly ninety years old. Although he is old, he looks like a normal person in his sixties and is very energetic. At this moment, he is communicating with Li Yingbo.

Although Zhang Xuezhou is a special task force member, joining the task force is not solely based on rank; it also requires a wide range of skills.

He was accompanying a special task force member who was holding a camera, assisting him from time to time and selecting angles to record the harmonious and friendly communication scenes.

This also allowed Zhang Xuezhou to observe many members of the Zhao family.

Zhao Changqing was Zhang Xuezhou's key target. He was old enough, and the household registration system during the Luofu Dynasty was incomplete, so questions about birth dates were not very rigorous. If an elderly person told someone their birth year a few years earlier, it would be impossible to investigate.

Conversely, it is impossible to verify if one's birth year is moved forward.

The existence of gene-based drugs has also given elderly people an appearance that does not match their true age, making it very difficult to judge their real age.

"As long as the Zhao family's genetically modified grains pass the relevant tests in Western Capital City, we will promote them within the relevant scope so that truly superior crops can serve the public," Li Yingbo occasionally chimed in.

"If the committee can hold Alliance States crop competition, our Zhao family, while not necessarily the best, will most likely be among the top," Zhao Changqing said happily. "Although we don't have as many high-yield crops as others, we have many advantageous crops; we've researched almost the entire range!"

"A crop competition is a good suggestion," Li Yingbo nodded. "If a suitable opportunity arises, it's worth promoting!"

"Old Zhao, I've heard that your Gene Fighting Technique can use gene seeds in battle, which is extremely unique," Wang Haoran asked.

"This..."

"Why are you stammering?" Zhu Liangping laughed. "We're not here to cause trouble; we're just curious because we've never seen this kind of combat before!"

"Gene seed warfare isn't anything new," Zhao Changqing said. "It's actually just a simple application of rapid seed development!"

I'd like to hear more details!

"For example, it normally takes two to three days for a seed to germinate after hatching. We use catalysts to continuously shorten this time," Zhao Changqing said. "When the time is shortened to two to three minutes, or even less, this genetically modified seed warfare becomes possible!"

"Two to three minutes is already extremely fast for germination and growth, but it seems a bit too long for fighting," Zhu Liangping said doubtfully. "It's almost impossible to use it in a direct confrontation!"

"That's generally true," Zhao Changqing nodded. "Therefore, this kind of 'seed' for combat needs to be cultivated to take root and sprout. As long as it obtains even a trace of the opponent's sweat, saliva, blood, snot, or something similar, the seed can attach and grow like a leech. This makes it much more useful!"

"If we encounter an opponent, we can scatter some seeds, catching them off guard and leaving them covered in them. Out of fear of the rumors surrounding the Zhao family, they generally won't pursue us any further," Zhao Changqing's son Zhao Keqing, laughed. "This can also give us a certain opportunity!"

"Some seeds are quite sharp and can pierce the skin," Zhao Changqing nodded. "Once they take root in the body, they will quickly sprout and cause damage no less than being pierced by a sharp weapon!"

"Could you do a demonstration?" Wang Haoran said. "I don't understand Chairman Li's economic theories, but as a military man, I'm very interested in genetic warfare!"

"No problem, as long as Committee Member Wang doesn't laugh at our limited abilities!"

Zhao Changqing nodded in agreement, and Zhao Keqing quickly ordered someone to make the arrangements.

"Zhao Keqing?"

Zhang Xuezhou, holding the tripod, also fixed his gaze on Zhao Keqing.

He felt that Zhao Keqing's face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but it was probably a long time ago. He had grown up and changed his appearance, and Zhao Keqing's age had also increased.

When they met again, Zhang Xuezhou only had a vague feeling about him, while Zhao Keqing had no recollection of him at all.

Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou and the others adjust their angles to record the video, Zhao Keqing nodded repeatedly to Zhang Xuezhou and flashed his most amiable smile to express his feelings.

"I've never been to Luo'an Province before. If I met Zhao Keqing a long time ago, it must have been in Sudong City Jidu Province, not in Western Capital City after my memory has greatly improved, nor in Qinmeng, the Thousand Islands Alliance, or other places. I couldn't possibly forget the latter once I've met them. My daily life in Sudong City is extremely regular; I only go back and forth between Yucai Middle School and home every day. The only time I walk a little further is when I go to the Sunshine Psychological Clinic!"

Based on a simple judgment and characterization, Zhang Xuezhou had already guessed that Zhao Keqing must have gone to Sudong City to investigate him, and that the two had most likely met face-to-face, or even talked.

If we accept his previous assessment of Huang Daoxian, Huang Daoxian could not Luo'an Province, and obviously could not have gone to Jidu Province.

Based on this reasoning, the probability of Zhao Keqing being a Huang Daoxian is almost zero.

Compared to Zhao Changqing, whom he was keeping a close eye on, Zhang Xuezhou didn't pay much attention to Zhao Keqing.

"If it weren't for the school's connections and the need to obtain my blood through a blood test for physical health, how did the Zhao family examine me?"

However, Zhang Xuezhou still had questions in his mind.

Normally, those investigating the Zhang Household rarely have direct contact with them. Instead, they collect blood samples from the Zhang Household through medical examinations at hospitals and schools to complete gene sequencing. Some people also obtain sequencing results through information sharing. None of this would give Zhang Xuezhou any impression of meeting or talking to them.

"Seed?"

The Zhang Xuezhou's mind.

Clearly, Zhang Xuezhou had previously been exposed to the Zhao family's seed tactics and had even fallen into their trap without realizing it.
