Chapter 149: The Attack of Old Meng
"Nothing much to say, except that there were some accidents when I was a kid, so I stayed in the bunker for a while."Jiang Lan showed no expression.
For him, life in the bunker was already a thing of the past, and he had never suffered any injustice while in the bunker.
So, he didn't have any particular taboos about bunkers.
"That makes sense." Xiao Zizai raised his head slightly. "When we first met in Longhu Mountain, I didn't quite understand why you joined the company, but now it seems that you were recruited by the company directly after you came out of the bunker."
"The bunker... I've only heard of this place before, but I've never seen it with my own eyes..."
"There's nothing special about it. It's almost the same as outside, except that the place is more hidden." Jiang Lan said casually.
"What about Chen Duo?"
Hearing Wang Zhenqiu's question, the usually silent Old Meng raised his hand again.
"I know that child... After all, I rescued her myself."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's interest was aroused, even Jiang Lan felt a little curious.
Was it Lao Meng who rescued Chen Duo from the Medicine Fairy Society at that time?
This was the first time he knew about this.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but for the first time, the expression on Lao Meng’s face changed from timidity to anger.
"If there was no Medicine Fairy Association, Chen Duo would have been a kind and cheerful girl. It's all because of those beasts..."
At this point, Lao Meng clenched his fists and continued through gritted teeth:
"The people in the Medicine Fairy Society are all perverts. They believe in Gu, and in order to cultivate the so-called Gu-body Holy Child, they have stolen many babies from all over the place. After those babies are stolen by them, they are directly placed in special potions for cultivation. Only those who are still alive after a year can enter the next stage of cultivation.
"That group of perverts wanted the so-called Holy Child from the beginning, not humans with their own thoughts. So when those children should have established their cognition, they chose to use extreme methods to suppress all the human nature of those children and transform them into puppets who only know how to obey."
Old Meng became more and more excited as he spoke.
"They can't think, can't speak, can't doubt, can't judge, and even the most basic rights of being born as a human have been completely deprived by the Medicine Fairy Society! After being rescued from the Medicine Fairy Society, let alone a complete sentence, Chen Duo couldn't even utter a single scale!"
When he said this, Lao Meng was already in tears.
"Poor girl." Wang Zhenqiu shook his head slightly. "Before I became a temporary worker, I did hear about the existence of an organization called the Medicine Fairy Society, but later I heard that it was completely wiped out."
"Yes." Lao Meng wiped his tears, raised his head again, and said with a gloomy expression: "I wiped it out."
Wang Zhenqiu didn't say anything for a while, but his eyes flickered slightly.
Anyway, in the past, the Medicine Immortal Society was also a very large organization.
Judging from what Lao Meng said, he not only participated in the company's operation to eliminate the Medicine Fairy Society, but also held a very important position in it.
Because he is the Holy Child with a Gu Body, and since his name is Holy Child, his position in the Medicine Immortal Society must be very important.
Xiao Zizai pushed his glasses lightly and said, "You just said that the Medicine Fairy Society captured a lot of babies. Then what about those babies..."
"They are all dead..." Old Meng's eyes were filled with anger, "Only Chen Duo survived."
Jiang Lan leaned back in his chair and sighed softly.
He didn't know much about Chen Duo's life before she entered the bunker. It was only after hearing what Old Meng said today that he understood a lot more. "She is a miserable girl." Wang Zhenqiu said, "But according to what Master Meng said just now, Chen Duo has been completely transformed into an emotionless machine. But why would she defect from the company?"
Lao Meng shook his head.
"I don't know about that, but..."
As he spoke, Lao Meng looked up at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan took over the conversation and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but it's only a matter of time. Since the company has restored Chen Duo to a normal person, keeping her tied up in the name of protection will definitely cause a backlash."
Zhang Chulan didn't know Chen Duo very well, so he asked with some doubt:
"That's not right, Brother Jiang Lan. Since he has recovered and is like a normal person, shouldn't the company just let him go? Why did they have to make such a fuss until now, planning to fire all the temporary workers?"
Jiang Lan glanced at him.
"It's just that his thinking and values are almost the same as those of normal people. After going through the transformation of the Medicine Fairy Society, to some extent, Chen Duo has become a Gu. Didn't I mention the protective suit when I called before?
"Without a special protective suit, the poison in Chen Duo's body would dissipate uncontrollably. Weaker aliens might not be able to withstand the poison, let alone ordinary people and animals. As long as they get within ten meters of Chen Duo, they probably won't even have a chance to ask for help."
"Ah this..."
Zhang Chulan scratched the back of his head. He really didn't pay attention to this.
"So, you came here for Chen Duo from the beginning?"
Wang Zhenqiu reacted and looked at Jiang Lan with interest.
Jiang Lan did not intend to hide his true feelings and answered directly:
"Yes, so everyone, I don't care what you plan to do to the other people in Biyou Village. Chen Duo, I will protect you."
In fact, Jiang Lan had not originally intended to confront the temporary workers so soon.
But now that Lao Meng has said so, and the atmosphere has become like this, if I don’t say anything, there will inevitably be trouble again in the future.
Of course, he also knew that the reason why this group of temporary workers appeared here together was partly due to Chen Duo.
If Chen Duo had not defected, the company might not have started targeting these temporary workers so quickly.
No one spoke, but Xiao Zizai stood up first.
He smiled and patted Jiang Lan on the shoulder.
"Brother Xiao Jiang, although we are all temporary workers, we are all human beings. The little girl is so pitiful that I can't do anything to her. So, let me make it clear that I will not cause trouble to Chen Duo."
Having said this, he glanced around at the other people around him.
"Of course, as for Zhao Guizhen, please don't compete with me for him."
After Xiao Zizai finished speaking, Lao Meng also stood up and said, "Me too. Chen Duo did nothing wrong, so I support Jiang Lan."
"Originally, I was a little curious about Chen Duo." Wang Zhenqiu stood up and spread his hands, saying, "But there are a lot of fun things in this village. It's fun to play anything."
The clarinet stood up and said with a smile:
"My thoughts are the same as everyone else's. As long as it doesn't affect the mission, it's fine."
