Chapter 366: A Chance to Enter the Main Circle
“I’ve also heard of Blue Ho from many of my friends. I have run into them during a few of my volunteer work,” ng Chao said with a smile. “But I’ve never had the chance to understand it properly. Just what sort of organization is Blue Ho?”
“We’re just an organization that loves Earth culture.” Zhao Feixuan grinned. He seed fascinated. “Earth will forever be our ho. It has blue skies and white clouds, mountains and rivers. It has oceans that expand for thousands of miles without an end. There are no zombies, no monsters, and no difference between normal people and superhumans there. Everyone is equal, and we can all live harmoniously and happily together. That’s heaven!”
“Yeah...” ng Chao felt sentintal. “Compared to the Other World, Earth is truly heaven. If it was possible, I would really want to transmigrate back to Earth with Dragon City.”
ng Chao was being honest here.
After all, if Dragon City had to stay in the Other World, it would have to suffer against a lot of creatures from the Other World invading and wreaking havoc in it. In the end, it would even have to face the apocalypse.
Zhao Feixuan observed his expression, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Leader ng, if you’re really interested in returning to Earth, why don’t you co and observe our activities when you’re free?”
He smiled. “Most of our mbers are people who love Earth culture. They will definitely speak the sa language as you. Occasionally, we even invite experts of transmigration technology to give talks. We then draw on collective wisdom to search for ways to return to Earth.
“By the way, Lin Chuan, the one who died a hero in the northern offense, was also a mber of Blue Ho. I was pretty good friends with him. Even though we seldom had the chance to et each other, every ti we t, our talks went late into the night. It’s only like that we could talk to each other to our hearts’ content.
“I rember that you had a good relationship with Lin Chuan, right?”
Since the White Spirit Case was still under investigation, everything that happened under Raging Waves was not revealed to the public.
The reports given by the news only ntioned that Lin Chuan did his best to stop the Red Radiance Jade mine from exploding fully.
They did not ntion anything about him and the White Spirit.
Hence, in the hearts of the public, Lin Chuan was still a perfect hero.
If Zhao Feixuan was really connected to the creator of the White Spirit, perhaps he knew the truth behind what happened to Lin Chuan.
But ng Chao could not find a single clue about it on his face. He seed to not know about it.
However, since he invited him so passionately, ng Chao would naturally seize the chance.
They went to the dical center of the temporary shelter and perford a zombie virus check on Zhao Feixuan to make sure that he showed no signs of turning into a zombie.
Then, they sent Xiao Fanghua to the school before they returned to the spots where their volunteers worked.
Once the volunteer work was over, ng Chao and Zhao Feixuan brought the people from the Broken Star Club and Blue Ho to eat together at a cheap restaurant that served good food beside the temporary shelter.
Since it was a restaurant that served normal citizens, there were naturally no delicacies on the nu.
Fortunately, everyone had similar backgrounds and were about the sa age. Since they had decided to serve Dragon Citizens, there were even a few of them who were both Blue Ho mbers and Broken Star Club mbers simultaneously. With just a few words, the atmosphere between them instantly beca lively.
Everyone at the restaurant chatted in a lively manner, and all of their faces were flushed with excitent.
After drinking and eating a few dishes, ng Chao and Zhao Feixuan ended up as pretty good friends.
ng Chao also noticed that sneaking into Blue Ho was not a very difficult task to accomplish, because he had a lot of common topics he could talk to with Zhao Feixuan.
For example, they shared the sa opinion about Dragon City being unlikely to conquer all of the Other World with their small territory. Even if they managed to win a few battles, Dragon City would be slowly devoured and corrupted by the large populations of the other races.
They also thought that the distribution of resources in Dragon City was unfair. The ga corporations and cultivation families just kept growing, and it brought about the Matthew Effect. The powerful fighters were just getting stronger while the weak beca weaker. If things continued this way, it would be far too easy for a rift to open in the social strata between normal people and superhumans. Then, the enemies could use that rift to attack Dragon City.
They also thought that the nine great ga corporations that created the Survival Committee were unwilling to truly submit to the might of the Survival Committee. There were signs of insubordination to the Survival Committee, and if things persisted this way, who knew where Dragon City would be headed.
In the end, when the other volunteers left, the two of them weren’t even halfway into their conversation.
When Xiao Fanghua ended her night class and ca to find them, they were still sitting at the entrance of the restaurant while staring at the dilapidated temporary shelter as well as the luxurious mansions that were lit brilliantly in the distance while they criticized this ugly sight.
“Over the past few months, I seldom have seen Old Zhao this happy.” Xiao Fanghua supported Zhao Feixuan while he staggered with a red flush due to being drunk. She smiled and said to ng Chao, “Old Zhao is soone who likes delving into problems that can’t be solved, so he doesn’t have a lot of friends. Weeping Reaper Lin Chuan was one of his friends, and Gao Ye of Spirit Creations Creatures was another one of them. He got to know both of them in Blue Ho.
“In the end, these two friends ran into accidents recently. Old Zhao has been sighing a lot about this and has beco even more morose than before.
“Since both of you two hit it off so well, you’re welco to co to my house at any ti, ng Chao. I know that you’re a busy person, but if you have ti, you can co over.”
“I will,” ng Chao agreed to it sincerely.
Zhao Feixuan and Xiao Fanghua lived in a residential area for normal people. It was located in the south, and it was quite noisy.
Over the next month, ng Chao dropped by twice at their house. He did not just chat with Zhao Feixuan, but also talked to Zhao Feixuan about organizing public welfare activities in the na of the Broken Star Club and Blue Ho.
They also discussed the idea of the mbers from the Broken Star Club providing one-to-one guidance for the children in the schools set up in the temporary shelters, because they had trouble cultivating after their schools were destroyed.
Zhao Feixuan, in the anti, set up his new company, which he nad Absolute Defense.
He told ng Chao that this did not an that his defense system could definitely ward off all monster invasions. It ant that defending the ho of humans was an unconditional sacred mission. Regardless of the poor or rich, all citizens in Dragon City had the right to obtain the sa defenses.
ng Chao discussed it with his father and fulfilled his promise to beco the first client of Absolute Defense.
Superstar hired Absolute Defense and paid the company to fully maintain, modify, and upgrade the defense system in Blessed Heavenly Garden.
Of course, Superstar was still going through its large scale expansion. They did not have a lot of cash that they could use, so they could only offer a price that made ng Chao feel embarrassed when he heard it.
But Zhao Feixuan was very happy about it.
“The money doesn’t matter. The most important thing here is for us to be friends!”
His words were sothing that ng Chao had once said.
Through this, ng Chao was able to join a few activities hosted by Blue Ho.
It was just as Ye Xiaoxing thought. It was impossible for the abnormal beasts to show up at the events where those who were not mbers could just walk in. These events also did not hide any sort of sches or plots.
The mbers who joined those events were all righteous people who had lawful identities.
The kind volunteers who joined community services were the pillars of various business, passionate students, and a lot of cute girls.
The events hosted in the club were also things Ye Xiaoxing had introduced to him before. The participants just wore ancient clothes from Earth, recited classic poems, played old movies, imitated scenes from movies, and other things.
Aside from these events, they also talked about how Earth was a perfect heaven. They would then shout slogans such as “we must return to Earth”. For the ti being, ng Chao could not obtain more clues.
But he knew that Blue Ho was not that simple.
Would Lin Chuan and Gao Ye have gone through spirit energy deviation and ended up the way they did just by wearing Earth’s ancient clothes and watching old movies showing the good old days?
ng Chao might have decided to participate in the mission from the abnormal beast research departnt to take revenge for Lin Chuan, but now, he also had another reason.
He sincerely thought of Zhao Feixuan as his friend and did not wish for him to end up like Lin Chuan and Gao Ye and walk down the path of a lost person, just like it had happened in his previous life.
Besides, he also got to know a lot of passionate people who were in his age group in Blue Ho, along with a lot of superhumans who would be working hard in their industries in the future Dragon City.
He did not want these people to be enticed by the abnormal beasts and turn into their puppets.
ng Chao eagerly wished to get into the core circle of Blue Ho.
But the more he wanted sothing done, the more impossible it was to reach it. He could not be impatient about it.
After he showed great interest by joining more than ten of these external activities from Blue Ho, his chance arrived.
Zhao Feixuan ca to him for a favor.
The matter started because of the newest law imposed by the Survival Committee.
As monsters continued evolving, they started targeting specific things in Dragon City, and their attacks beca even more discreet than before.
Often, they caught the defenders by surprise and attacked the warehouses that had a lot of resources stored in them using blitz attacks or suicide missions. Every ti, they were able to destroy half a warehouse, a gene farm, or pollute a water source.
On the surface, Dragon City did not seem to suffer major losses. But when the news was released, the people beca fearful, and the prices for resources skyrocketed. The economic order in Dragon City then faced great pressure.
When it ca to the resources related to cultivation, such as crystals, raw monster materials, gene dicine, high-calorie nutritional fluid, and rare tals used to create weapons and runic symbol machines, the prices changed daily.
Many of the superhumans chose to save up for a rainy day and started storing up large amounts of cultivation resources.
The powerful companies also decided to hoard items and monopolize various cultivation resources so that they could profit from it.
Not only did the normal citizens grumble about it, the middle-range and low-end superhumans who did not have connections also felt angry, because their daily cultivation was affected.
When they saw that the daily cultivation order of superhumans was affected, the Survival Committee was forced to impose a law that forbade the citizens from hoarding items. All superhumans could only store up half a month’s worth of resources they needed, and those who violated the law would be strictly punished.
But there were black markets all over Dragon City.
There were also all sorts of underground auctions.
As the northern frontline was developed, the people kept on privately mining resources despite being repeatedly prohibited to do so.
Zhao Feixuan went to ng Chao because a mber from Blue Ho had accidentally discovered an underground warehouse. It had a large amount of cultivation resources that had never been reported to higher authorities.
There were raw crystals that had just been mined, raw monster materials who had gone through initial processing, and boxes of gene dicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid that did not have any labels on them. The resources stored in the storage were enough for hundreds of cultivators to cultivate for years.
Clearly, this underground warehouse was not sothing that could be possessed by any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
If they wanted to figure out who owned the warehouse and bring him or her to justice, they would need to use various channels to do so.
