Chapter 743 - 290: Drug Development, Firebird No.4

"People from the farm, remember to promptly clean up the innards and other stuff removed from the Slaughterhouse."

After slaughtering the mutant beasts at the Slaughterhouse, those fish guts and scales became excellent compost fertilizer, and the farm people had always been responsible for cleaning up and transporting them away.

Everyone present received their respective tasks and nodded seriously.

"Alright then, go inform everyone. Be prepared and ready to move out at nine o’clock tomorrow morning."

Liang Yuan made the final decision, and everyone dispersed in small groups.

Zhao Kai and Ding Yan didn’t leave. The two of them looked a bit guilty as they stood next to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan glanced at them and smiled: "What’s the matter with those expressions?"

Zhao Kai, feeling a bit guilty, said: "Sorry, Brother Liang, our power has been improving too slowly. Now that we have to clean the Water Marsh Restricted Area, we can’t even be of any help."

Ding Yan also sighed and said: "I don’t even know how you trained. We barely saw you cultivating, and yet you’ve become increasingly powerful."

Liang Yuan chuckled, took Ding Yan’s hand, and said: "There’s always a difference between people. You need to acknowledge the gap between you and your man."

Ding Yan’s face instantly turned red, and Zhao Kai couldn’t help but show a teasing look.

Ding Yan rolled her eyes, exasperated: "When we say you’re fat, you really start panting."

Zhao Kai tactfully said: "Well then, Brother Liang, I’ll go notify the patrol team members. See you later."

Not caring about his guilt anymore, he quickly left to avoid being the third wheel.

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded. Once everyone had left, he turned to look at Ding Yan, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her close.

Feeling Ding Yan’s firm body pressed against his chest, he couldn’t help but smile broadly: "It’s been two days. Did you miss me?"

Ding Yan’s face reddened, her usual cold demeanor shattered instantly: "There are so many people around, you’re still the leader of the Shelter after all..."

Liang Yuan laughed heartily. There were only a few elders sunbathing in the distance.

"Let’s go!" He grabbed Ding Yan’s hand and pulled her towards home.

Ding Yan quickly asked: "Hey, hey, where are we going?"

"Home!"

"And what are we going to do at home?"

"Do it!"

...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. It wasn’t just Song Wen and Liang Yuan who were newlyweds; Ding Yan and he were also considered a newlywed couple.

Even two days apart, despite Ding Yan’s tough exterior, she had already been missing him.

In Ding Yan’s bedroom at the Bamboo House, she was as fierce and dominant as ever.

But for all her initial assertiveness, later on, she was left quite pitiful.

This time, however, she forced herself not to use her superpower to block the engagement point, allowing Liang Yuan to have his way with her.

Understanding her intentions, Liang Yuan’s heart filled with tenderness, and he slowed down.

After a long time, the passion finally subsided.

Ding Yan lay in Liang Yuan’s arms, relishing the rare moments of being a delicate woman.

Outside, she was a pillar of the patrol team, a battle queen, and a genius in close combat.

But at home, in Liang Yuan’s presence, she shed all labels and just wanted to be his little woman.

As Liang Yuan listened to her recount the patrol team’s events over the past two days and the changes at the Shelter,

he gently stroked her hair and asked: "There haven’t been any issues with the personnel arrangements, right?"

Ding Yan nodded: "The war prisoners from all four shelters have settled down. After a month of reformation through labor, they now have a strong sense of belonging to the Shelter."

"They no longer identify themselves as survivors from Martial King Pavilion, Meihai Garden, or Phoenix Temple. They all consider themselves part of Yangshan Shelter."

"Moreover, since we disrupted their original small groups, everyone is now performing their duties and new teams have formed. Previous minor conflicts have been resolved."

"They are very satisfied and cherish their current life. I often hear them express gratitude for the Shelter’s improvements and praise you."

"I think if anyone dares to invade Yangshan Shelter now, they would surely fight to the death."

Liang Yuan chuckled and said: "It seems their loyalty can be utilized."

Ding Yan said: "Absolutely. Just look at what their past life was like. They didn’t even have toilet paper before."

"Eating a full meal was out of the question. Back then, Tu Long, their leader, had to find food, and Wu Meng and the others lived like primitives in caves."

"Now, not only can everyone eat their fill and stay hydrated, but there are also all kinds of toiletries and even a supermarket with electricity. Who doesn’t know that’s all thanks to you?"

"Ask them, who would want to revert to their old ways?"

Liang Yuan laughed. Indeed, there was no need to force anyone into Yangshan anymore.

Anyone who had experienced the harsh conditions after the initial disaster would be unable to refuse the superior conditions of Yangshan Shelter.

"Speaking of which, a small shelter leader from Meishan also came with us this time. He’s probably finished touring Yangshan Shelter by now."

Hearing this, Ding Yan asked: "Should I give them a little ’reminder’?"

Liang Yuan chuckled: "No need. I’ve already given them a heads up. As long as they’re not blind, they should know what to do after seeing Yangshan’s situation."

Ding Yan smiled: "True. By the way, if we need to develop Meishan later on, who are you planning to send to take charge?"

Liang Yuan asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Ding Yan said: "I think you might need to personally oversee things there for a while."

Liang Yuan asked: "Why?"

"It’s a new territory. Everything will have to start from scratch. Without you, their leader, no one will feel secure."
