Qin Hu was very efficient.
Exactly five minutes later, she called Meng Chao.
Big Brother Wolf's real name was Ning Lang. He was twenty-four years old, and he was from Dragon City's Nine Sands District.
His family was not very well off. His father died of an illness when he was nine years old, and his mother had to do odd jobs and receive social assistance to raise him and his five siblings.
Even though his family was poor, he showed talent in cultivation a long time ago. He relied on his own strength and did not have enough cultivation resources to get into a key middle school and high school. For a period of time, he became the hope of the entire community.
However, since he worked too hard during high school and did not have enough resources, he was heavily injured and had to lie in the hospital for a long time. From then on, he lost the possibility of awakening to supernatural abilities.
His growth was very similar to Meng Chao's.
In truth, there were a lot of poor people in the community, so there were bound to be a few who had extraordinary talent.
But in a situation where they lacked cultivation resources, there were very few lucky people who could turn their talent into fighting power. Not everyone could be like Meng Chao and be reborn from the apocalypse so that they could have another chance.
In any case, Ning Lang was unable to get back on his feet during high school, so he naturally did not manage to get into college. Instead, he joined the society.
Even though he was not a superhuman, he had a good foundation since he was young. Besides, he was ruthless and fearless, so his fighting power was at the top among normal people.
And quite a number of his classmates in a key high school came from powerful families. They sympathized with his situation and were willing to help him.
After all, there was an iron rule in the Supernatural Tower that superhumans were not allowed to fight against normal people. But it was impossible for superhumans and normal people to have no conflicts forever. If something unpleasant happened, certain superhumans would need people like Ning Lang to solve their "problems".
Just like that, Ning Lang gradually gathered a group of friends who were in the same situation as him and became troublemakers.
This was an ancient occupation that wandered in a gray area.
But Ning Lang was like a fish in water. Soon, he became famous.
But no matter how famous he was, he was still a hooligan.
With his skills, it was not a problem for him to eat and drink to his heart's content.
But in a world with superhumans, it was a joke for a normal hooligan to want to drive a luxurious car or live in a mansion.
Although many people called him "Brother Wolf," Brother Wolf could only live with his old mother and five siblings in a public renting house of more than sixty square meters.
During one monster attack, even the small public renting house they had lived in for half their lives was destroyed by monsters. It was covered in smoke and fire.
Ning Lang had no choice but to move to a temporary settlement with a worse environment with his family. There, he got to know Mohawk Head, a hooligan from another community.
Oh right, there was another crucial piece of information.
Ning Lang's youngest sister was fifteen years old this year. She was a posthumous child left behind by his father. Her name was Ning Xing, and she had the same cultivation talent as him. She had already been studying in Teacher Xiao Fanghua's Martial Arts Refresher Course in the temporary settlement for half a year.
This meant that Meng Chao should have taught her before.
"Ning Xing … Is she the girl with freckles on the tip of her nose, a buzz cut, and looks like a tomboy?" Meng Chao asked.
"That's right. She's the student with the most potential in the martial arts refresher course. I even represented Superstar and gave her two scholarships! "Qin Hu answered.
Meng Chao had a very deep impression of Ning Xing.
This was because among all the children he had taught, she was the first one who could master the Reckless Bull Technique and deliver a punch with a force of three hundred kilograms.
A maximum punching force of three hundred kilograms was a very ridiculous result in a third-year class in a key high school like Ninth High School.
And she was only fifteen years old!
Before he entered the wild, Meng Chao asked Qin Hu to take care of the good students in the martial arts refresher course, and Ning Xing was naturally one of them.
He did not expect that she was Big Brother Wolf's younger sister. The world was really too small.
But when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. Ning Lang was a talented and ruthless person. It was not strange for someone among his siblings to copy his talent.
"Why haven't I heard Ning Xing mention that she has such a powerful older brother?"
Meng Chao asked. "Besides, it's not like her older brother can't see her cultivation talent. Even if he can't earn a lot of money as a hooligan, he can still help his sister change her cultivation conditions. The girl just can't keep up with her nutrition. If he had gotten enough cultivation resources earlier, her maximum punching force would have gone over five hundred kilograms a long time ago.
"As her older brother, he gave up on cultivation because of injuries. He shouldn't have let his sister repeat his mistakes!"
"Well, Ning Lang's luck over the past year hasn't been good. I think he owes a lot of money."
Qin Hu said that the news about Ning Lang being a pathfinder before should be true.
At the end of last year, when he returned to Dragon City covered in scars, he boasted to the entire world that he had fought hundreds of battles in the wild and killed countless monsters.
But based on what Qin Hu heard, his pathfinding operation had completely failed. He seemed to have lost a lot of weapons, equipment, and construction machines. He even dragged down a group of friends who trusted him. He went for wool and came home shorn.
& nb- > >
sp;
He was hiding from his debts all over the world, so it was only natural that he did not have the energy to care about his sister's cultivation.
"Is that so …"
That was even stranger.
If Ning Lang was poor and owed a lot of money, where would he get the money to buy Deification Capsules and sell them to Mohawk Head?
Qin Hu knew about Meng Chao's relationship with the abnormal beast research department, so he asked in a half-joking manner, "What? Is Ning Lang involved in some major case?"
"He's just a normal person. He shouldn't be."
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he said, "How about this? Send me Ning Xing's address. I think I'll be able to return to the city at night. At that time, I'll go to her house to take a look. I've always had high hopes for Ning Xing's cultivation talent. Since our company gave her a scholarship, even if it's not for Ning Lang, it's still reasonable for me to go and take a look at her progress over the past three months."
"Alright. I'll get more people to ask around and see just what Ning Lang has been doing over the past few months. If I have any new clues, I'll send you a message at any time." Qin Hu hung up.
At that moment, a video call from the drug supervision department reached the forward operating base of Soaring Dragon Constructions.
Ye Xiaoxing had already spoken to them, and the staff from the drug supervision department treated the Deification Capsules with great importance.
Once they saw the surveillance videos in the developing land and Soaring Dragon Constructions' experiment report, they treated it with even more importance.
They quickly said that they would immediately send people over to receive the Deification Capsules, the survivors, and the remains of the pathfinders who had unfortunately died to conduct a deeper investigation.
However, just as Meng Chao expected, the drug supervision department's investigation was currently limited to analyzing the components of the Deification Capsules.
If they wanted to find the producer behind it, they still had to go through a lot of procedures.
After all, the tragedy that happened in the depths of the wild could only be treated as spirit energy deviation due to the consumption of illegal drugs.
Before it caused too much harm to society, it was impossible for them to send out a large group of people for an emergency operation.
Meng Chao had never thought about relying on the drug supervision department to handle this matter.
If the Deification Capsules were really the demonic claws of abnormal beasts, it was not something the drug supervision department could handle.
Meng Chao obtained a copy of the surveillance video and the experiment report from Manager Jiang. He even got a few drops of the medicinal liquid from the Deification Capsules. Then, he brought the prey he harvested from the Tyrant Mammoth and rode on Soaring Dragon Constructions' light armored vehicle.
He asked the people from Soaring Dragon Constructions to send most of the spoils to Superstar. Meng Chao held a section of the Tyrant Mammoth's trunk and a Demonic Halberd Pig's leg, which had been packaged, and went to the fourth temporary settlement in the east of the city.
Since he was training in the wild, his appearance had changed.
He also wore a pair of ridiculously wide sunglasses.
Under the hazy night sky, not many people recognized him — it was definitely not because he was too unknown.
Meng Chao could relax and observe the difference in the temporary settlement compared to three months ago.
When Lu Siya said that the monsters were forcing the superhumans to go through a reformation, her words were crude, but her logic was not.
Ever since the abnormal beasts developed the new zombie virus and weaponized the Blood Flower spores, the densely populated shantytowns, old residential areas, and temporary settlements in Dragon City with terrible environments turned into greenhouses for zombies.
In order to eliminate the possibility of the new zombies and undead creatures sweeping through the city again.
The superhumans who lived in high-end commercial housing estates and mansions had to be concerned about the health and living environment of the normal citizens.
Ambitious people like Qin Hu and Lu Siya did not let go of any chance to create their image, increase their exposure, and gather the people's hearts. Not only did they take the lead in providing money and manpower to change the living conditions in the squatters and temporary settlements, they also frequently came to do volunteer work and became close to the normal citizens.
It didn't matter if their motives were 100% pure.
There was no one in the world who was 100% selfless, did not seek fame, and only loved to contribute.
In any case, under their lead, more superhumans who had the money and strength to provide money and manpower to solve the problems of the citizens who were in trouble.
As for Temporary Settlement 4, there were quite a number of tents there.
Three months ago, when Meng Chao left Dragon City, there were still quite a number of tents there. Due to the increase in population, the sewers were clogged up every now and then, so dirty water spilled everywhere. There were also a few stinky trash piles around the settlement. It was no different from a refugee camp.
Today, when Meng Chao looked around, most of the tents had been upgraded to simple sheds made of aluminum alloy frames. There were five or even six layers of tents stacked on top of them. They also had their own kitchens and bathrooms. Even though they still faced the problems of being cold in winter and not having good soundproofing, they were much better than tents.
The trash piles near the settlement had also been cleared. The sewers seemed to have been widened as well. At the very least, they did not see dirty water spilling everywhere, and the air was much fresher.
The citizens living there did not have bright smiles on their faces, but compared to three months ago, when they were anxious, gloomy, and could not see a way out, their expressions were much better.
'Looks like if we give Dragon City some time, we can slowly become better.'
With that thought in mind, Meng Chao walked to the address Qin Hu provided.
