My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 229 Deduction (First Update)
Li Kang's expression kept changing, and finally he sighed, "A-Zhu, what are you trying to say?"

Li Kang's first reaction was shock. He was surprised that Lancoro had this ability. But then he realized that it was normal for Lancoro to have this ability. What was truly shocking was the tacit understanding Chu Zhu showed with Lancoro and Lancoro's obedience to him.

"If you want to lead more radical reforms, coming to me won't help!" Li Kang's voice was very sincere. "Even if you come to Lu..."

"It has nothing to do with that." Chu Zhu shook his head and said expressionlessly, "At noon, the Omnipotent Clan will create another massive smog event centered around the factory! Yes, it should be similar to the massive smog event that occurred in the Tianjing Industrial Zone eleven years ago."

"But unlike that one, the casualties from this severe smog event... far exceeded those of that one!"

The severe smog in Tianjing was a serious pollution event that occurred eleven years ago due to the excessive industrial development in Tianjing... which ultimately resulted in over 30,000 deaths and injuries!

It was precisely because of that massive smog event that Tianjing, which was originally the heavy industrial center in southern Daqian, had no choice but to split up and control its heavy industry!
This directly led to the industrial rise of Wenhan, upstream of Tianjing, and even Jinghai, a city that was originally more of an export trade and financial center.

Originally, apart from Tianjing, Jinghai City was a purely financial city, while Wenhan was a light industrial city.

Li Kang froze, instantly realizing something. "Their goal... was achieved? No... how do you know! Fine... if you can't say, then forget it. So, all their previous plans... were for this?"

"Perhaps." Chu Zhu remained noncommittal, his mind churning. It was also possible that his actions with the Hehuan sect had somehow been discovered by the Omnipotent lineage, leading to their uproar.

Chu Zhu kept thinking, but at this moment she still couldn't figure out what the eleventh apostle wanted to do.

From beginning to end, their actions seemed completely illogical... No!

Chu Zhu suddenly realized something, and her eyes narrowed slightly. Why was there no official response?

This is not right!

Was it really possible that the complete collapse of industry and the outbreak of the black fog were completely undetected by the authorities from beginning to end...?

Regardless, the official forces and various religions possess combat power surpassing that of the Omnipotent Ones! They are currently the true rulers of the world under the sun.

Don't even mention that only one of the eleven apostles is suspected to have arrived so far. Even if all the other apostles were to arrive, it would be impossible for them to wipe out a million people so easily.

Is it really that easy? These kinds of large-scale population loss incidents... have happened countless times already! He could even hear about them in the past...

In fact, the closest comparable incident to this one was the massive smog in Nanjing over a decade ago. It's unlikely that the same Omnipotent Group was behind that same smog event over a decade ago…

Okay, let's assume that this was also an example of the Omnipotent Alliance's efforts! And then, after the subsequent crackdown by the authorities, they were able to recover and do it again in Jinghai?
How incompetent must the authorities be?! They might as well just shut down.

Eliminate all impossible options...

Chu Zhu silently looked up towards the direction of the first district; there were officials collaborating with them. Moreover, their status wouldn't be low!
"Xu Xun... no, he's not qualified!" One suspect after another flashed through Chu Zhu's mind: the heads of the seven major families, Su Zhizheng, and even... Lu Jin!
"In the worst-case scenario, there could even be multiple high-ranking officials! Or rather, it could be centered around a top-level power holder, supplemented by a group of middle and high-ranking officials!"

"But why? There has to be a reason... The loss of millions of people! Even if they no longer treat the underprivileged as human beings!"

Chu Zhu was completely baffled.

Li Kang watched Chu Zhu fall silent, and after a long while, he finally opened his mouth: "Um, you mean..." The phone rang.

Li Kang paused for a moment, then subconsciously pulled out his phone. He straightened his back and became solemn: "Captain Huo!"

"Captain Li." Huo Qiming's voice came through the phone, cold and solemn: "Currently, within the scope of Jinghai City, all drones... including civilian drones! are all out of control."

"Without receiving any instructions, they all flew towards the Third District without prior agreement..."

Li Kang frowned. His first thought was, could this be related to what Chu Zhu had mentioned earlier? Could this also be something the Omnipotent Clan was up to? But how would they do it…?

Chu Zhu instantly appeared in front of Li Kang and took the phone directly: "Old Huo! Don't investigate anymore, it was me."

After much thought, Chu Zhu realized that the only person she could trust most in the upper echelons was Huo Qiming.

Even with Lu Jin, Chu Zhu's level of trust was not as high as her trust in Huo Qiming!

After all, Huo Qiming has truly been a masked swordsman for so many years, braving wind and rain, living in anonymity, and his credibility is off the charts! A person who doesn't truly uphold justice in their heart wouldn't do such a thing.

Li Kang: "???"

Huo Qiming: "..."

"Actually, I've had this suspicion for a while now," Huo Qiming said softly, but he couldn't, or rather, dared not, confirm it.

Ultimately, the drones and robotic dogs are divine messengers of the goddess Nuwa... Their actions easily evoke the image of the goddess Nuwa.

According to Huo Qiming's knowledge, Jinghai City is currently...

"Was the massive smog in Tianjing more than a decade ago caused by the Omnipotent Clan? If they want to replicate this event in Jinghai, what is their most likely reason? What might they do? How should we stop them?" Chu Zhu revealed all the information he knew without hesitation. He had no expectation that this timeline could solve the problem!

If he could obtain even the slightest bit of useful information related to this matter, that would be good.

“Besides that, if we were to say which top figure in the first district of Jinghai City is most likely to join forces with the Omnipotent faction and sacrifice the entire shantytown redevelopment area… no…” Chu Zhu pondered for a moment, then quickly changed his perspective.

"What I want to ask is, who made preparations in advance? If the shantytown redevelopment area, or rather the entire Third District, is completely sacrificed... which high-ranking officials will not be greatly affected afterward? Who will be able to shift all the blame onto others..."

Huo Qiming was stunned for a full twenty seconds, then his voice suddenly became urgent: "What crucial information did you obtain?"

"So, you also discovered the problem on your end?" Chu Zhu's gaze sharpened.

"...The three heads of law enforcement didn't come to work at the city government today," Huo Qiming replied, seemingly changing the subject. "And he didn't ask for leave either. As an aside, this matter was reported by Lu Jin!"

Chu Zhu: "..."

Okay, okay, so you're trying to sow discord between your opponents?
