When Professor Su said the word "mission", Gao Qi knew there was no need to persuade him.
For some people, missions were more important than their lives, and Professor Su was obviously such a person. So what was there to say? It was better to save some time and effort.
"Professor Su, I don't quite understand. How did you establish a disaster relief association so quickly outside the city?"
This was one of Gao Qi's doubts, but Shurian heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "There's no harm in having more skills. I have more than one skill, so I'm a talent wherever I go. It won't be easy for me to find a place where the disaster victims gather."
"For example?"
Professor Su said without hesitation, "After I left the city, I avoided the villages in the suburbs and went straight to the mountains in the west. Then I found the first gathering place and told them that I can repair guns."
Gao Qi was stunned, "You can repair guns?"
"Of course, it's very simple."
Professor Su said very calmly, "I can design large buildings and know how to build houses. I know machinery, agriculture, chemistry, and basic physics. I'm not qualified to be a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but I have a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. But the simplest thing I can do is repair guns. Guns are very important to disaster relief victims. As long as I say that I can repair guns, even if there are no broken guns in this gathering place, they can't hurt me."
"Professor, are you … a genius?"
Shurian said without hesitation, "My IQ is 200. In terms of IQ, I'm a genius."
"If you say so, I'll feel more at ease. Otherwise, I'll always feel like an idiot."
Gao Qi said embarrassedly, then continued, "You haven't told me how you found a place in the Wasteland."
"Oh, I found a gathering place for disaster victims that I had chosen before I left the city. I told them that I knew how to repair guns. Then, they really gave me a few broken guns that couldn't be fired. Of course, those guns that couldn't be repaired couldn't be used, but if I put together the parts that could still be used, I could repair two guns. After that, I stayed there."
Gao Qi still found it hard to believe. He said in a daze, "Aren't the desolate people especially xenophobic? He accepted you so easily? "
"The next day, I told the village chief that I could make a water wheel for them to water most of their farmlands. I also told him that I know how to make fertilizers with indigenous methods to double their winter wheat output. Oh, right, I also treated a few sick victims. I said that I know about herbal medicine. No matter what, I can play the role of a doctor."
Professor Su explained in a very calm tone. Then, he said indifferently, "About a month ago. Everyone thought that I was indispensable. Anyone in the village could die, but I couldn't. So, I blended in well with the disaster victims."
Professor Su made it sound simple, but there weren't many people in the world who could do it.
Gao Qi couldn't help but say, "Professor, you're a genius! But I still want to know, how are you going to explain your origins? You're obviously from the city. Will the victims believe you? "
Professor Su said in confusion, "Just say it. Tell me the truth. Why won't the victims believe me? Why do they doubt me and reject me? If I say that I'm from the city, I'm on their side. If I say that I want to harm them, does Morning Dawn City need to send me as a spy? Is there a need? "
Gao Qi sighed softly and said, "Alright, alright, I understand. I'm convinced. Hmm, let me think about what other questions I have …"
After thinking for a moment, Gao Qi finally said, "What's the purpose of you establishing the disaster victims' mutual aid association?"
"As I said, my purpose is to help the disaster victims survive."
"A deeper purpose? For example, do you want to lead the disaster victims into Morning Dawn City?"
Professor Su shook his head and said, "No, because in terms of strength, it's not allowed. Moreover, I'm not hostile to Morning Dawn City. You have to understand one thing. I have a different philosophy from the ruler of Morning Dawn City. I want the city to take on the responsibility and role it should play, but that doesn't mean that I want to lead the disaster victims into the city."
Gao Qi sighed and said, "I understand. Then, let's talk about the future. I don't know how the city will treat you and the disaster victims' mutual aid association, but I'll try my best to influence them. At least in the short term, I won't let the special ability group harass you and the disaster victims' mutual aid association."
Professor Su immediately said solemnly, "Thank you. This is very important to us."
"Uh, there's more. I can provide you with as much help as I can, but I don't know how far I can go."
Gao Qi scratched his head and said dejectedly, "We can only take one step at a time. In the future, you can use Farm No. 7 as your contact point. If you need anything, you can tell Wang Chang. He's my man, so he can guarantee your safety."
Shurian nodded, but Mu Jian's face was full of excitement. He wanted to say something to Gao Qi, but after looking at Shurian, he held himself back.
Gao Qi continued, "Also, do you plan to move all the disaster victims in the suburbs?"
Shurian nodded and said very seriously, "Yes, I will try my best to persuade every disaster victim to move to the area controlled by the disaster victims' mutual aid association."
Gao Qi said worriedly, "If that's the case, I wonder how the city will react."
"There won't be a strong reaction. Do you know how the city treats the disaster victims?"
Gao Qi thought for a long time and said, "Well, they don't care and let the disaster victims fend for themselves. If the disaster victims harm the city's interests, they will send people to eliminate them. But now, none of the disaster victims dare to provoke the city. The only thing the city cares about is whether there are new ability users among the disaster victims. If they find any, they will either control them or kill them."
Professor Su nodded and said, "Yes, the city doesn't care much about what happens outside the city, because everyone knows that the disaster victims can't pose any threat to the city. So, if I can move all the disaster victims in the suburbs, the city won't pay too much attention."
Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "Don't touch the people in the salt mines. The city needs enough workers in the salt mines. If you take the people in the salt mines away, the result will be hard to say."
"I know, so I don't plan to develop in the salt mines for the time being."
Gao Qi didn't ask for more details about the disaster victims' mutual aid association, nor did he ask where it was, because Han Ruofeng was there. Although Han Ruofeng said that he couldn't see the secrets in the hearts of ability users, he still felt that it was not safe. It was better to not know anything.
"Then there's nothing else, Professor. Are you used to living in the mountains?"
Professor Su smiled and said, "The conditions are much harder than in the city, but I'm very happy now. I'm happy every day because I feel that I'm finally useful."
"Well, if you need anything later, let me know, and I'll prepare it for you. Also …"
Gao Qi looked at Muken, and Muken immediately understood. He whispered, "Uh, I'm going out for a walk. You two can talk."
