"Is Ms. Mulian a young woman?" Meng Chao asked with great interest.
A young woman who could be called a "young lady" and be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the village chief and Wild Wolf, there must be something special about her.
"Ms. Mulian is the village chief's granddaughter. Even though she's only twenty years old, she's a really amazing person," A 'Ji said seriously.
"She's had an ability since she was young. Her entire body shines with a white, sacred, and warm light. When she transfers this light to someone, she can get rid of that person's pain. No matter how serious the illness is, she can cure it without medicine. At the very least, she can alleviate it.
"And Ms. Mulian isn't stingy with this amazing power. Since she was seven or eight, she has been going around the streets to relieve the villagers' pain. She doesn't take a lot of money when she treats the villagers. She only takes some things as a token of her gratitude. She can synthesize food cans, toys made from scrap metal, or even thank them.
"And when she treats the villagers, she doesn't set any requirements. In fact, she doesn't even pick her targets. As long as they're pitiful people who are tormented by their illnesses, she's willing to help them with everything she has.
"Over the past ten years, countless villagers have received Ms. Mulian's kindness.
"Even I … I'm a resource recycler, and most people avoid me at all costs. In fact, they pinch their noses and kick me into the gutter. But Ms. Mulian is really gentle to me. While she treats me, she comforts me with soft words. She makes me melt in the warm, white, and flawless light around her. I feel like she's a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!"
Meng Chao was deep in thought. "You received Ms. Mulian's treatment before?"
"Yeah. Boss Feng brought me there."
A 'Ji's eyelids twitched. "Boss Feng knew that Ms. Mulian has a superpower, so he intentionally crushed my palms and sent me to Ms. Mulian so that she could use her superpower to heal me. He also managed to get a lot of Ms. Mulian's precious medicine without spending any money and used it to increase the agility of my hands."
"Ms. Mulian doesn't know Boss Feng's intentions?" Meng Chao asked.
"Naturally, Boss Feng won't show up. Instead, he'll let us kids who have our hands crushed go to him and lie to him."
"I think that Ms. Mulian must have guessed what happened, but she didn't refuse to treat me. She just sighed, and when she treated me, her expression became even more compassionate. I've lived for more than ten years, and that's the only time I've seen someone show me great sympathy. I'll never forget how Ms. Mulian looked like."
Mengchao nodded.
Medical problems were indeed chronic problems that were difficult to solve in Dragon City.
Powerful and influential experts could obtain an astronomical amount of cultivation resources, constantly breaking through the limits of life, developing the infinite potential of the human body, and at the same time becoming stronger and stronger.
Ordinary people might not even be able to satisfy the most basic medical insurance.
Meng Chao's family was an example.
His father, Meng Yishan, was a member of the Red Dragon Army, and he was skilled in harvesting monsters. There were two children in the family, so the burden on them was not too heavy. His children also worked hard and went to key public schools. They did not spend extra money to join training classes outside.
Even so, over the past decade or so, the family had never been able to save up enough money to replace his mother's superalloy joints, which was why his mother had to limp for more than ten years and was tormented by her illness.
The medical conditions that the villagers could enjoy and afford were one hundred times worse than what the Meng family could afford.
And as the descendants of the infectees, their chances of contracting all sorts of diseases were one hundred times higher than those of the normal citizens outside.
They might have horns on their heads, wings, sharp claws, fangs, and great strength, but there were only a handful of lucky people who could truly use the mutation to increase their fighting strength while still being healthy.
Most of the infectees' descendants could not obtain any benefits from the mutation. They were just incredibly weak and lived in pain.
In this sort of situation, Ms. Mulian, who was willing to treat everyone for free and whose medical effects were really good, appeared. She was indeed a living Buddha who saved people from suffering. It was no wonder then why the villagers had such a high opinion of her.
Meng Chao reckoned that Ms. Mulian was like a monster. She was born with some sort of talent, and she did not need to cultivate to be able to bring out supernatural abilities.
Meng Chao believed that Ms. Mulian was like a monster. She was born with some sort of talent, and she did not need to cultivate to bring out supernatural abilities.
Meng Chao had heard his lecturers talk about this sort of innate awakening when he was in university.
Compared to those who awakened to supernatural abilities through cultivation, the skills these innate awakened ones could master were rather limited. At most, they could create one or two spirit energy magnetic fields.
But they had used their lives to carefully polish these two spirit energy magnetic fields, so they were indeed outstanding elites in their talent domains.
"Looks like Ms. Mulian is an innate awakened in the medical field?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while. "Since you like Ms. Mulian so much and she's the village chief's granddaughter, if the village chief dies, there's a high chance that she'll become the new village chief, right?"
"If Ms. Mulian really wants to become the village chief, I believe that even Wild Wolf won't fight against her. Instead, he'll do his best to support her," A 'Ji said.
"But I don't think that Ms. Mulian is interested in becoming the village chief. Right now, she's running a hospital, and she's busy saving people. She doesn't have the time to be the village chief.
"Besides, Wild Wolf and the village chief are like father and son. Ms. Mulian is the village chief's granddaughter, and Ms. Mulian calls Wild Wolf Uncle Wolf. They have a really good relationship. In the past, whenever Ms. Mulian came to the underground shelter, which is the most dangerous place in Leprosy Village, to provide free medical services, Wild Wolves would always protect her.
"If Ms. Mulian wants to become the village chief, Wild Wolf will definitely do his best to support her. It's the same the other way around. If Wild Wolf becomes the village chief, Ms. Mulian will definitely support him."
Meng Chao nodded and wrote three lines in his head.
Village chief: Food, drinking water, survival resources.
Wild Wolf: Martial prowess.
Ms. Mulian: Medical treatment, health, and perhaps a certain degree of spiritual comfort.
The so-called Order was nothing more than a combination of these three things.
"By the way, since Ms. Mulian is the village chief's granddaughter, what about her father, the village chief's son?"
Meng Chao asked. "He should be someone important. Why haven't I heard you mention him?"
A 'Ji was slightly stunned. He thought about it for a long time before he shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I've never heard anyone mention Ms. Mulian's father. The village chief doesn't have any other children either. He should have died a long time ago."
"So, the three people who have the ability to control the situation in Leprosy Village are the village chief, Wild Wolf, and Ms. Mulian?"
"Yeah, those three. No, two and a half," A 'Ji said.
"Everyone respects and loves Ms. Mulian, but I don't know whether she can control the situation. After all, she only knows how to heal people. She can't fight at all."
"Alright."
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he quickly evaluated the three candidates. Half a second later, he came to a decision. "Didn't you say that Ms. Mulian opened a hospital? Bring me there now."
A 'Ji hesitated.
Meng Chao frowned deeply. "Is there a problem?"
"Well …"
A 'Ji was conflicted for a long time. In the end, he clenched his fists and forced himself to straighten his back. He puffed out his dry chest and said loudly, "I can bring you to Ms. Mulian, but you have to tell me who you are first. Are you a good person or a bad person? Why are you looking for Ms. Mulian?
"I-I might not be in a hurry to be reincarnated, but I'm not afraid of death … Alright, I'm indeed afraid of death, but there are certain things that I won't do even if I die, such as betraying Ms. Mulian!
"I'm telling you, Uncle, Ms. Mulian has a very special position in the hearts of all the villagers. If you dare touch a single hair on her, Wild Wolf, me, and all the villagers won't let you off!"
When Meng Chao saw the boy put on a fierce front, tremble, and say the toughest words in his most cowardly manner, he could not help but laugh.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person," Meng Chao said.
"Bad people don't know how to write on their foreheads."
A 'Ji gathered his courage and asked, "How do you prove it?"
Meng Chao spread his arms and said, "You should be able to tell that I don't have any abnormalities. I came from the outside."
"So what?"
A 'Ji said. "To us villagers, the people outside are all bad people. At the very least, they're not good people."
Meng Chao had nothing to say to that.
Of course, he had one hundred ways to force the boy to "cooperate".
But when he heard A 'Ji's words, he did not want to do it.
He just sighed and said, "Judging by your looks, you're pretty smart. Then, use your brain and think about it carefully. If I were a bad person and wanted to do something bad, I would definitely plan carefully and understand the situation before I took action. There's no way I wouldn't know how many important people there are in Leprosy Village and where they live.
"The information you mentioned is something you can get by asking around outside. It's not valuable to the real bad people, right?"
A 'Ji tilted his head and thought about it for a long time before he nodded and said, "You're right."
"So, I'm not a bad person," Meng Chao continued.
"But there's one thing you're right about. Right now, there might be a group of bad people who want to harm Ms. Mulian. That's why we have to hurry over and save her!"
A 'Ji was shocked. "Wh-What? Who is it?"
"Of course it's the person who caused the explosion," Meng Chao said.
"I'll explain the details to you later. Right now, we have to race against time to go to Ms. Mulian's hospital. You don't want Ms. Mulian's hospital to be reduced to rubble like the building just now and be razed to the ground, right?"
A 'Ji's face turned stark pale. He was stunned for half a second before he immediately said, "I'll take you there now!"
With the help of a local boy, it was the same as finding the best guide in a dark maze.
A 'Ji led Meng Chao up and down. They went through drainage pipes, ventilation pipes, maintenance shafts, and abandoned elevator shafts. They took a lot of shortcuts.
In just ten minutes, they climbed out of the depths of the ground and reached a manhole cover that was close to the surface.
