Chapter 343: Seeking Sacrifice in the Wilderness (Thank God for the Leader of the Moon Festival)

“Yan Gong, why are you leaving so early?”

“Yan Gong, please come back soon!”

“How can I live without you, Yan Gong, please take me on vacation together…”

In the video, young faces appear one after another, laughing or pretending to wipe tears, with black-and-white photos of Yan Jian on the tablet computers in their hands.

Yan Jian, who was lying on the hospital bed, was stunned.

Doubt life.

Wait, it’s only been one day since we last met, and I’ve already had a grand funeral?
He turned back stiffly and looked at Ji Jue who came to visit him, shocked: Director, what are you implying?

“Ahem, we are all young people, we like to act weird…” Ji Jue coughed twice, smiled awkwardly, and didn’t dare to say it was his idea: “Everyone said that you will be very happy if we do this.”

“them……”

Yan Jian grunted for a long time, and finally squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: “This workload is a bit too much after all!”

Ah, yes, yes!

Ji Jue nodded frantically: This is what I want to see!
“…”

Yan Jian sighed, and his originally depressed look became a little brighter. He moved a little on the bed, grimacing in pain: “Director, can’t I be discharged from the hospital now? Isn’t he out of danger?”

“Of course I can, but you have to pay extra. The dean here is very stingy. The fact that you can still breathe in bed has already cost me a lot of money. Don’t expect more advanced services, okay?”

Ji Jue threw a stream of cold water on him: “Take a good rest. The factory doesn’t need you. We can handle it without anyone. Do you think this is still the time when you are the pillar of the sky?”

In fact, Xie Lan’s first aid service includes complete healing, but the stimulation of flesh and blood by the vortex blessing comes at the cost of shortening the lifespan of ordinary people with insufficient spiritual essence and fragile souls.

Now that he’s out of danger, let him recover slowly.

Just provide adequate medical and nutritional support.

After this wave of hair growth, bald people like Yanjian may be able to grow another wave of hair.

“If I don’t take care of it, what will happen to the order?”

Yan Jian was worried, “Won’t the factory be paralyzed?”

“After the workshop was modified and isolated from external pollution, production continued inside. After the frame, chassis and other parts were completed, they were distributed in batches to subsidiary factories for assembly.

The efficiency may be lower, but at least it has not stopped. “

Ji Jue said calmly: “Others can also take a break in batches. Everyone is having a great time at the farmhouse and resort. I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.”

“What about pollution?”

Yan Jian asked: “What should we do about chemical pollution?!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve found a professional team and it will be done in half a month at the latest.”

In order to clean up the pollution, Ji Jue gritted his teeth and used a large sum of special funds, and through the Security Bureau, he invited the Chosen Organization, the Modern Environmental Construction Association, to clean up the pollution.

This group of tough guys could easily clean up the huge remnants of evil in Quancheng, and it was easy to deal with a small chemical pollution. Even a three-person team could handle it in a few days.

Well, if you can afford it…

Even though the money was not in his pocket and he had not paid a penny of it himself, Ji Jue couldn’t help but feel the pain.

If I could embezzle this much, it would be enough to upgrade the basic workshop facilities that I haven’t even gotten yet! This bunch of shitty military-industrial complex is really causing a lot of harm!

There is no other way. At this time, we have to race against time. The sooner we recover, the sooner we can seize the market and expand our scale.

First you need a plate, no matter if it is a paper plate or a plastic plate, before you can pick up the meat.

Only after overcoming the current difficulties can we talk about the future.

There is no need to tell Yan Jian about this.

It was of no use except disturbing his rest.

Ji Jue patted his shoulder and skillfully placed a carrot in front of him: “Enjoy your paid vacation, Yan Gong, and you will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. By then, your design that you have accumulated for more than ten years can be officially put into production.”

“real or fake?”

Yan Jian was so surprised that his face instantly turned red.

But Ji Jue didn’t say anything else. He just smiled slightly and pushed the door open.

Then, his face quickly fell.

Broken bones in the limbs, comminuted fractures of the spine, cerebral hemorrhage…

The long list of names on the medical records alone could kill Yan Jian. If Ji Jue hadn’t reacted quickly and brought the man back that night, if he wanted to see Yan Jian again, he could only ask the Shengbian Department to perform a magic trick to see if he could possess him.

Not only Yanjian, the entire coast is now riddled with holes.

Raw materials, procurement, production, and sales all encountered problems under this wave of impact. Even though Ji Jue adopted out-of-city channels and fully self-research, he still struggled.

Despite trying their best and being exhausted, they could only do what they could to avoid a complete halt in cucumber production due to this wave of impact.

The sudden blow of the stick almost destroyed Hai’an’s half-life that had just recovered.

“We have already discussed it with the Environmental Construction Association. It is a simple matter. After the pollution is cleaned up, they will also complete the factory expansion. There is no extra charge.”

Ye Chun was beaming with joy and looked very proud.

It was a rare good thing: “Uncle Shengnian just called and said that the relevant car companies have already reached an agreement, so there is no need to worry about future production capacity. However, after all, the time is too short. The acquisition of a large enterprise cannot be completed in a day or two. The earliest will be next Thursday.”

Uncle Shengnian is Tong Shengnian, the second son of the old grandfather of the Tong family, and the representative of the Tong family in business activities of this generation. In Yacheng, any business activity of a higher level cannot bypass the Tong family, but the Tong family has always been low-key, most of the time they just hold shares, and don’t even interfere with operations and personnel.

Again, it is not necessary at all.

Just by looking at the resume and photos, you may be able to clearly know the composition of the three generations of your ancestors. If the person looking at the resume is your grandfather, you may also be able to clearly know the composition of the three generations to come.

All I can say is that the Way of Ether is too suitable for development behind the scenes.

Just as Ye Chun said, the acquisition of such a large enterprise would certainly not be completed in a day or two. Even if we wait until the incident in Coast to discuss it, it would be too late.

Unless there had been planning and preparation before that.

No, perhaps the relevant plans had been quietly prepared behind the scenes long before the coast resumed work.

Hearing this, Ji Jue couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now Lu Yingyue is far away in Zhongcheng, and Xu Chaoxian is still being defeated by the disease. If the Tong family stands idly by at this time, not to mention the coast, even Yacheng may not be able to maintain its status.

“Then for the next two days, please take care of the factory affairs. Just follow the previous arrangements.”

Ye Chun paused for a moment after hearing this. Giving up at this time was obviously inconsistent with Ji Jue’s character and her understanding of Ji Jue. Apart from this, there was only one possibility…

Ji Jue stared at the sunlight outside the corridor window for a long time, then turned around and smiled:
“I’m going to make some noise.”
.
December 12th, there are two days left until the end of the year.

The almanac says: [The heavenly officials bless you, and there are no taboos]

If anyone else said this, Ji Jue might have been superstitious and sneered at it, but if the person who posted this screenshot was Tong Ting, Ji Jue decided to believe it a little.

Especially when he just walked out of the hospital and received this message… I don’t know what you are going to do, and I don’t know what you are planning to do, but it just so happens that, you see, today is a good day!
There was also a photo of the front and back of several coins after they fell to the ground. It seemed to be the result of some kind of divination, but Ji Jue couldn’t understand it at all.

However, it seems that Tong Ting already understood Ji Jue’s tragic liberal arts accomplishment, and added a sentence at the end: [Earth and water masters, take risks and go smoothly; when confused, go east, or you may have good luck.]

Ji Jue was immediately excited and replied: [Can you tell me this year’s lottery numbers? Give me some! ]

Tong Ting was silent for a long time and just gave an intriguing smile.

There is such a huge inexhaustible special fund right under your nose, but you are too lazy to even reach out to grab a handful; Tongshan controls the Security Bureau and has countless lucrative projects, but you don’t even ask; Chaosheng Workshop has so many patents, and the results of fluid alchemy can be monetized in any amount, but you don’t disclose any of them; and now you come here to ask me for my lottery number?

My dear brother, isn’t your act of begging a little too abstract?
Seeing that the other party no longer replied, Ji Jue shrugged helplessly and put the phone in his pocket.

He just drove off in his calf.

That evening, the purchasing group for the “Meimei Supermarket Promotional Discount Sale” had already gathered in the wilderness outside the city, outside a remote abandoned settlement.

The sign of the former mining company has long been rusted and hums in the wind, making a sharp sound.

More than 20 years ago, when Nanling Mining was still in the mining stage, this place was one of the few lively places in the wilderness, with cars coming and going and a large number of people.

Unfortunately, the geographical location was too inconvenient, and during the period of vigorous development, it first experienced two natural disasters and then suffered a great depression. After exploration found that the mineral reserves were insufficient and there was no value in large-scale mining, the bubble of Nanling Mining was completely burst, and it went bankrupt overnight. The entire settlement was deserted and turned into a ghost town, just like other abandoned settlements and ruins in the wilderness.

However, unlike the depression and decay of the past, after many years, the entire settlement is now populated again.

Unfortunately, the people who occupied this place were the criminals and gangs roaming in the wilderness.

And not long ago, the guests who stayed there happened to have some trivial… well, minor contradictions and conflicts with Director Ji.

“It’s really hidden.”

Ji Jue sighed and said that if he hadn’t reacted quickly, he wouldn’t even have the chance to retaliate.

To be fair, this is indeed the best way to hide. After all, once people enter the city, they will leave countless clues. There is the Security Bureau above and the Wilderness Group below, and there are enemies in both the black and white worlds. They also want to avoid the prying eyes of the ether and evade pursuit… Then the best way is to settle down in the wilderness.

There are countless abandoned settlements and towns, not to mention many unknown hidden places.

However, you can never guard against traitors…

Just like Yin Chaoyang, who turned against his friends at lightning speed after recognizing the reality.

Lu Feng had not even used all the tricks and techniques he had carefully prepared. The first thing he asked was, “Where is the lie detector? Truth serum will do, too!”

He told everything he knew, everything he had done, everything he hadn’t done but knew about, and everything he hadn’t done but didn’t know about but was possible.

He had already made preparations when the echo bypassed him and chose to take action directly.

In order to avoid being murdered or used as cannon fodder by his former employer, when he received the news from other channels, he was too lazy to verify the authenticity and immediately launched the escape plan he had been preparing for who knows how many years.

Anyway, I have made enough money and reaped all the benefits. I can just disappear, change my appearance, buy a ranch in the Thousand Islands, and become a rich man. Isn’t that good?

Unfortunately, Director Ji is narrow-minded…

Not to mention, he was under the eyes of the Tong family from the beginning to the end, so it was natural that he had bad luck.

With such a breakthrough, the secret operations of Echo and even several other military industries in recent days, whether inside or outside the city, were all easily exposed like food in a torn bag.

What is before us is just one of them…

“How is it going?”

Ji Jue put down the telescope, turned around and asked.

“We’ve been watching for more than a day. There are about 200 people. It should be that three or four gangs have joined together. There should be some big moves next. They have all kinds of weapons, patrols and sentries, even reconnaissance drones and armored vehicles.”

Lu Feng smoked a cigarette and laughed: “If there were no serial numbers, who would be able to tell the difference between a gang and the army?”

Outside of the world.

In this day and age, if you want to be a gangster in the wilderness, you need a sponsor and a backer. Otherwise, how can you afford to support the team? How can you recruit professional talents?
Every year, there are so many people who retire from Middle-earth to fill in the gaps. After getting used to killing and setting fires, can they just be content to be obedient slaves in the city?

Not to mention, some gangs…already have such a background.

If you often walk by the river, your shoes will get wet. Everyone needs rain boots and gloves.

If Lu Feng had not met a noble person who helped him to get out in time, even if he could retire smoothly, he would probably still be controlled and would have to continue to be a tool for others to do the wet and dirty work.

“There are many chosen ones.”

Old Lin, who turned into black smoke and returned silently, said: “There are about twenty of them, and their compositions are very mixed. Seven or eight of them have transformed, and there is even one who has been reborn… Some of them are hidden very deeply, so I couldn’t see them carefully, but… I did see a few familiar faces.”

He smiled coldly without further explanation.

However, all of them looked familiar to Lao Lin. How could they be good people? They were probably all killers or red sticks from other Huangji, or the most popular ones on the wanted list.

Now that the night is gradually deepening, there is no sign of rest in the entire settlement. Instead, it is bustling with noise and flashing lights.

This means that they have sensed that something is not right and are preparing to move.

Lao Lin said, “We have to move quickly. Once we start in one place, other places will get the news and run away.”

“That’s nothing to worry about.”

Ji Jue took out his cell phone. On the screen was the weather forecast he received before leaving the city: “There will be a strong magnetic storm later tonight. By then, all wireless communications in the wilderness will be cut off unless there is wired transmission.”

Once the words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in silence.

Luck, it’s all luck.

What fucking good luck!

“But, isn’t there a little too few people?”

Lu Feng sighed and turned to look at the hidden camp, the thirty or so “security guards” he brought with him, and the eight or nine chosen ones from Huangji brought by Lao Lin.

There are more than forty people against three hundred. It would be difficult to catch even three hundred pigs.

Ji Jue and Lao Lin looked at each other and both revealed a mysterious smile.

“Who said we were going to do it in person?”

Ji Jue grinned and put his arm around Lu Feng’s shoulder: “Brother, our family is rich now!”

As he spoke, he whistled and snapped his fingers.

“MUSIC!”

Suddenly, accompanied by a burst of powerful music, more than twenty muscular and burly men jumped down from the car!
The equipment on his body is varied and covers almost all areas of the world. His hair is black, yellow, and red, which is colorful. His skin color is yellow, white, and black…

As for the one at the head, looking at his hungry eyes, fawning smile, and begging and disgusting movements, you can tell that he is the best among the group!

In addition to Chen Xingzhou’s regular partners, there are more than 20 returning knights hired by Ji Jue with the introduction of Lou Feng. Leading them is Slan, an “old friend” who had dealt with him in the Rift World before, and… Lao Tang, who came up to ask for a bite when he smelled the scent!

At this moment, in the hidden valley in the wilderness, the burly muscular men lined up in a row, bowed in unison, and shouted:

“——Hello, boss!”
