"Cultivation resources …"
A 'Ji scratched his head and felt a little troubled. "The people in Leprosy Village are all poor. The places with a lot of cultivation resources are all doing shady things. The security is tight, and every step you take is filled with danger. In any case, I don't want to provoke them.
"If I have to say, the village chief controls most of the food and drinking water in Leprosy Village. He definitely has a lot of cultivation resources in his hands!"
"Does Leprosy Village have a village chief?"
Meng Chao blurted out, but he immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question.
Even though Leprosy Village seemed to be a chaotic place and had a terrible environment, since they could trade with the outside world, it was clear that they were not a lawless society in the jungle.
There was still basic order here, which meant that there were people who maintained order and managed everything.
The village chief might not have been directly appointed by the Survival Committee.
But it was clear that it was impossible for him to betray Dragon City. At the very least, that was the case before the Vortex infiltrated the city.
However, Meng Chao did not intend to go to the village chief directly.
The reason was simple: the target was too big.
Regardless of whether the Vortex dragged Leprosy Village's chief into trouble in the past.
At the very least, after the super crystal bomb exploded, it would definitely attack the village chief immediately.
They would either threaten and bribe, or kill the Village Chief directly.
Only then could they muddy the waters and destroy or take over the order in Leprosy Village.
If he rashly went up to them, he would only be walking into a trap.
"Tell me, how many important forces of power are there in Leprosy Village? Is the village chief the leader of the greatest force of power? Why is he the village chief?"
This question seemed to stumble A 'Ji.
He scratched his head for a long time and said, "The village chief is the village chief. Who knows why he became the village chief?
"If I have to explain it, it's probably because the village chief often gets a large batch of synthetic food and water-purifying chips from the outside world and sells them to the villagers at a very low price.
"It's not easy to survive in Leprosy Village. It's normal for people to go hungry. Whoever has food and drinking water is in control of everything. That's about it."
"Then …"
"Do you know how the village chief managed to get so much food and water? It won't be easy to fill the stomachs of everyone in Leprosy Village. "
He did not expect A 'Ji to know the answer.
It was just a casual question.
But to his surprise, A 'Ji thought about it and found that he really knew about it. "Um … I think the village chief is connected to Golden Tooth. The village chief might be so old now that he doesn't even look human. His beard is so long that it's almost touching the ground, and it looks like it's going to fly away when the wind blows, but I heard that he was a fierce person when he was young. He even saved Saber Jin Wanhao's life!
"The village chief has a good relationship with Saber Jin Wanhao. Jin Wanhao is the leader of the strongest gang in the lair, and he's also the Underground Emperor of Dragon City. It's not a big deal for him to give Leprosy Village some synthetic food and water purification chips because of the village chief."
"I see." Meng Chao nodded.
Behind the village chief was Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao's support. Perhaps it represented Jin Wanhao's request for Leprosy Village to maintain order and not cause trouble. That made sense.
As the Underground Emperor, he had close ties with the nine great mega corporations. In fact, he was the spokesperson for the interests of the nine great mega corporations in the lair.
Hence, this time, Saber Jin Wanhao readily released most of the data in the lair and mobilized a large number of powerful fighters to work with the hunting squad.
The Underground Emperor did not seem like someone who would be corrupted and drawn to the Vortex.
In other words, could the village chief be trusted?
Meng Chao set this question aside and continued asking, "Aside from the village chief, are there any other really powerful people in Leprosy Village? No, not a thief like Boss Feng, but someone even more powerful. How should I put it? For example, if the current village chief dies one day, who has the highest possibility of becoming the next village chief?"
A 'Ji blinked and blurted out, "Then it'd be Wild Wolf!"
"Wild Wolf?" Meng Chao asked.
"That's right. He's the gang leader of Wild Wolves. He's the best fighter in all of Leprosy Village. All the teenagers idolize him!"
When his idol was mentioned, A 'Ji became excited. He gesticulated and explained to Meng Chao, "Decades ago, Leprosy Village didn't have any gangs, because we're all descendants of the infectees. Most of us have congenital diseases and all sorts of deformities.
"And most of the congenital diseases and deformities make us really weak. We don't have any fighting strength at all.
"At that time, even though Saber Jin Wanhao let us stay here for the sake of the village chief and regularly sent us synthetic food and water purification chips, we didn't get these things for free. We had to help the gangs in the lair and work hard day and night to get these insignificant necessities for survival.
"It's just like what you said just now. Even trash is cleaned up by the recyclers outside before they send it to the lair to be cleaned up. When it lands in the hands of the villagers, all that's left is trash that contains a lot of acid, poison, and flammable and explosive gas. It's the most dangerous trash, the hardest to clean up, and the most worthless.
"We can forget about eating such leftovers comfortably. The gangs think that we're easy to bully, so they come to take advantage of us every few days. They dominate the market and force us to buy things. They're just short of taking a dump on us.
"I heard that the village chief went to look for Saber Jin Wanhao a few times. In the beginning, Jin Wanhao came out to uphold justice because he wanted to maintain order in the lair. His Golden Tooth also treated us pretty well.
"But there are plenty of gangs in the lair. After a few days of discipline, they will rise from the ashes. The village chief can't always trouble Saber Jin Wanhao with such trivial matters, so he can only make us swallow our anger and teach us that suffering is a blessing in disguise.
"I might be young, but I know that suffering is a blessing is just nonsense, but the situation is against us. Leprosy Village hid in the depths of the lair, which meant that we were living under someone else's roof. The world outside might not welcome us either, so aside from enduring it, what else could we do?
"Just like that, Leprosy Village endured for decades until the Wild Wolves appeared out of nowhere.
"In truth, it's not just the Wild Wolves. The first batch of Leprosy Village villagers who had mutated their genes and were weak gradually died. Those who were lucky enough to survive had endless potential in their mutated genes. This potential caused them to change beyond recognition, but it also gave them astonishing strength.
"The descendants of these infectees got together and gave birth to more children. Most of them starved to death, died of illness, or died for some unknown reason. In the end, the ones who survived were the truly powerful!
"Just like that, Leprosy Village gradually gained its own fighters, and the most outstanding among them was naturally the Wild Wolves.
"I heard that with just one punch, he can destroy a reinforced concrete wall that is half a meter thick.
"He can also effortlessly twist eight rebars that are tied together into a dough twist.
"I also heard that the Wild Wolves can fly. It's true! He can fly!"
A 'Ji's eyebrows danced, and his thoughts wandered.
'This Wild Wolf looks like he's a Heaven Realm superhuman.'
He came from a place like Leprosy Village and relied on his own strength to climb his way up to Heaven Realm. He could indeed be considered an elite.
"Wild Wolf is strong, and he's very loyal. If anyone in Leprosy Village is bullied by the gangs outside, regardless of whether it's related to him or not, he will immediately stand up for them. A few years ago, Wild Wolf and his companions fought a few times against the gangs in the lair. Regardless of who won or lost, at the very least, the gangs no longer dared to look down on us. Later on, when they made deals with us, the prices became much more reasonable."
A 'Ji swung his fists. "After this, everyone admired Wild Wolf a lot. Many people joined his Wild Wolves and trained with him.
"The old village chief has a lot of prestige, but he's old. Many people don't like his attitude of being a yes-man to the outside world. Wild Wolf's style of fighting and fighting suits the new generation's taste better. If there comes a day when Wild Wolves replace Golden Tooth and become the strongest gang in the lair, we'll have good days ahead of us!"
A 'Ji gulped in excitement.
"The old village chief relied on Golden Tooth's support to become the village chief, so it's only natural that he has to be submissive to Golden Tooth. Wild Wolf is a young gang, and he hopes that Leprosy Village can show an even more unyielding attitude toward the outside world. Do they have a conflict?"
"Conflict? No! How could there be?! "
A 'Ji was stunned for a moment before he shook his head. "Even though their attitudes toward the outside world are different, Wild Wolf was raised by the old village chief. If it weren't for the old village chief's painstaking efforts to train him, it would have been impossible for Wild Wolf to become so strong. They're like father and son, and I've never heard of them having any conflict.
"Right now, Wild Wolf and Wild Wolves are getting stronger. We've been saying in private that even if they can't compare to big gangs like Golden Tooth, Poison Scorpion, and Black Bone, they won't have any problem in suppressing the second-class gangs in the lair, but because of one sentence from the old village chief, Wild Wolf has always been obedient and limited Wild Wolves' territory to Leprosy Village. Unless someone tries to step on them, they rarely cause trouble. They don't have any conflict."
"Alright. Looks like if the old village chief lives one more day, Wild Wolf will be obedient one more day."
Meng Chao's mind raced. "What if the old village chief dies? Is there anyone who can fight against Wild Wolf for the position of village chief?"
"No. Many people have long since treated Wild Wolf as the next village chief," A 'Ji said without hesitation.
But once he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment.
"You're hesitating," Meng Chao said.
"What? Are you thinking about other people or factions of power? It's fine. Tell me. The possibility is something I need to think about. You just need to tell me everything you know. "
"If I have to say, there's another person who is also trusted and liked by everyone. She's on par with the old village chief and Wild Wolf," A 'Ji said.
"It's Ms. Mulian."
