This time, things went so smoothly that Ren Zhong couldnât believe it.
He had worried that reversing Sun Miaoâs fate might be infinitely more difficult than when he was just a humble wastelander trying to eliminate Yang Bingzhong, almost impossible to achieve.
After all, although he had the reputation of a genius, his rise was indeed too short.
He couldnât imagine how to avoid the "Netâs" vision and infiltrate the Mengdu Group from the outside to rescue someone.
The fact proves that difficulties often stem from ignorance, from not finding the "key to open the door."
Once the correct method is found, insurmountable barriers become wide avenues.
...
In Starfire Town, Sun Miao stood bewildered in front of the old site of the Miracle Clinic, staring blankly at the gleaming white building in front of him.
Countless people came and went at the entrance, bustling with prosperity, yet it felt so unfamiliar.
He vaguely remembered asking Ren Zhong to take good care of the clinic before he left, at least to keep his intelligent diagnostic machine running.
But to his surprise, within less than a month after leaving, he came back to find that home was gone!
Sun Miao: "What is all this! Damn it..."
"Brother Sun, this is Starfire Townâs hospital."
Sun Miao: "Where did this come from? At this time, someone still invests in Starfire Town to build a hospital? Are they out of their minds?"
Ren Zhong: "Itâs me."
Sun Miao: "Uh..."
"Now everyone in Starfire Town comes here for medical treatment. Iâve equipped it with four practicing doctors. People from some nearby towns also come here for treatment. Recently, the frequency and intensity of hunting trips by wastelanders in town have increased a lot, and the training grounds are always packed. The demand for medical resources in town has increased significantly."
Sun Miao: "Well, thatâs not bad, it must earn a lot."
Ren Zhong: "Currently, wastelanders in town receive free treatment, while outsiders are charged normally. Actually, we donât earn much; Iâm not in need of the money."
Sun Miao: "Wow!"
He turned his face to look at Ren Zhong, and could read only two words from Ren Zhongâs face.
Rich!
"Bro! From now on, youâre my true brother! Youâre amazing!"
Ren Zhong grinned, "Director Sun, please come in."
After settling Sun Miao in town, Ren Zhong returned to the estate he inherited from Lin Wang.
He actually had a lot to say to Sun Miao, but since Sun Miao just came back, the eyes of the Mengdu Groupâs spies might still be on him.
The truly critical information should be communicated through the "Dream Inn."
...
In the estate, Ren Zhong looked at Bai Feng, who he hadnât seen for over twenty days, noticing he looked much worn out.
Sun Miaoâs departure this time was due to the successful completion of the "Tree" project teamâs work, granting him a legal holiday.
His rank and influence within the Mengdu Group had increased, so taking away a familiar sample wasnât too difficult.
Bai Feng managed to return successfully as well.
Ren Zhong patted Bai Feng on the shoulder, "Well done. Youâve worked hard."
Bai Feng nodded, "Mm."
At this moment, Zheng Tian also came over, looking Bai Feng up and down in astonishment, "It feels strange, Bai Feng, why do your arms seem longer, and why are you wearing long sleeves in this heat?"
As Zheng Tian spoke, she rolled up Bai Fengâs sleeve, gasping.
As it turned out, the black scales that once covered Bai Fengâs arm had disappeared, replaced by a mottled brown texture, resembling tree bark.
If it were a tree, it might not look abnormal.
But being a human arm, it was more unsettling than the black scales people were accustomed to seeing.
Bai Feng didnât mind, smiling, "This is the new ability I acquired at the Mengdu Group. Iâve fused with some genes again."
He said it simply, but Ren Zhong, who had witnessed Bai Fengâs agony during the injection of the Fusion Gene of the electric eel, knew it was anything but easy.
He said "some," not "one."
Bai Feng had always been a man of few words, quietly keeping his pain inside.
Ren Zhong: "Bai Feng, are you now a Third Level Armored Soldier?"
Bai Feng: "Yes."
Ren Zhong nodded, "This time, you turned misfortune into a blessing."
Bai Feng shook his head, "It wasnât misfortune. I was just carrying out your orders, Mr. Ren."
"Did you gain the most representative gene, which is the tree bark on your arm?"
Bai Feng nodded, "Dr. Sun chose the Mistletoe Fusion Potion for me. Itâs a very domineering new fusion method. Apart from the human genes, all other genes in my body have fused into the Mistletoe System. I am now one with the Mistletoe."
Ren Zhong: "What specific traits does it have?"
After listening to Bai Fengâs introduction, Ren Zhong couldnât help but feel relieved that Brother Sun successfully connected with him, or else Bai Feng might truly have been lost.
