Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

"Mr. Lu!!"

An Suo shouted sweetly, and the 60th block gang leader beside him also shouted respectfully.

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

"Hello"

Lu Yuan nodded in return, and his easygoing attitude warmed the hearts of the many gang members present.

Then, under the leadership of Anso, the group arrived at an abandoned warehouse at the corner of Block 60.

"After Mr. Lu gave me the order, I immediately sent people to investigate that special 'ore.' Today, a gang member from the original 60th block suddenly informed us that he had some recollection that the previous leader had secretly transported a batch of ochre-colored ore and stored it in this remote warehouse."

An Suo roughly explained to Lu Yuan the whole story.

The ordinary gang member who had witnessed the incident was also in the crowd, looking at Lu Yuan with a nervous expression. He did want to keep silent at first, but it was rumored that Mr. Lu was kind-hearted and would be promoted if he made contributions.

That's why I thought of reporting this possibility. If it's true, maybe I can get a promotion in the future.

In the past, I was just an ordinary gang member, but now that the situation has changed, it’s not wrong to try my best.

"Don't be so nervous."

Lu Yuan immediately noticed the uneasiness of the ordinary gang member who provided the information, and immediately smiled and said.

"You are proactive in providing intelligence and are not afraid of false alarms. This already shows your concern. Regardless of whether the information is useful or not, the Civilian Grain Association will reward you."

Hearing Lu Yuan say this himself.

The ordinary gang member immediately straightened his back and said excitedly, "Yes! Mr. Lu!!!"

He felt warm in his heart, especially when he saw Lu Yuan's warm smile. He even had a lofty ambition in his heart that he was willing to die.

As soon as I pushed open the door of the abandoned warehouse, through a ray of light, I could see a bunch of ochre crystals in the corner of the warehouse.

The crystal was exactly the same as the one in the photo that Shi Huaiya showed Lu Yuan, except that it was bigger.

The largest crystal in the Guard Bureau is only the size of a palm and about 20 centimeters long, but the khaki crystal in the corner is quite large, half the height of a person.

And, it's obvious.

There must have been more than this in the warehouse, there must have been a lot more.

But they have all been moved away, leaving only this piece. Perhaps there is no time, so it is left here temporarily.

next second.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

Ordinary people may not be able to perceive it, but after possessing the ability of "woodification", Lu Yuan's perception of the world is terrifyingly strong. He can easily perceive the thoughts of any plant and can sense various ripples in the air.

And now.

In the warehouse, a special radioactive wave is continuously spreading from inside to outside.

This radioactive element is somewhat different from traditional high-concentration radioactive Originium elements. It will not cause the Originium content in the human blood to be unstable, but long-term and large-scale exposure may cause the human body's tissues to be "petrified."

That's right!

'Petrified'!

Even the most advanced tools of the Guard Bureau could not detect this, but under Lu Yuan's powerful perception, this thought appeared in his mind without any warning.

The radioactivity of this 'ore' will not affect the Originium, but will directly affect every inch of tissue cells in the human body. Simply put... it will convert carbon-based cells into silicon-based cells.

When this thought appeared in Lu Yuan's mind, even he was shocked.

"Don't go in, it's dangerous inside."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

The gang member who was about to take the lead was immediately frightened and took a half step back, not daring to move forward.

Then, Lu Yuan clapped his hands.

The ground inside the warehouse suddenly cracked, and groups of tree roots and branches emerged from the ground. Soon, a shield of trees surrounded the crystal group that was half a person's height.

Although many gang members had already heard from various rumors how powerful Mr. Lu was.

However, when I saw it with my own eyes, I was still a little scared.

Just a casual snap can create a large wooden barrier.

This shows how high Mr. Lu's magical attainments are as a magician.

"You guys stay at the door for now. I'll notify the guards to come over."

"Yes!!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's arrangement, the top leaders of the local gangs in Block 60 immediately began to deploy personnel to surround the abandoned warehouse. Not only would they not allow a single person, not even an ant to escape.

"Mr. Lu, is this crystal dangerous?"

After finishing the phone call with Shi Huaiya, An Suo couldn't help but ask.

“Very big…”

Lu Yuan nodded.

"If you get too close, hold it close, or even touch it with your hands, or live around it for a long time and wear it, your body will gradually become 'petrified'."

"Petrified?!"

When Lu Yuan said this, An Suo was also startled.

She had never heard of such a mineral, but she had heard of crystals that could cause intense activity of Originium in a person's body and even induce mineral sickness.

"I've never heard of such a crystal..."

"When I was studying at the Tianshi Temple, there was no record of this in the Great Yan Ancient Mineral Records, which records all the mineral resources in the world."

No wonder the Guards couldn't find anything.

Lu Yuan thought.

If I didn't already have the ability to 'turn into wood', I wouldn't be able to discover anything.

After receiving a call from Lu Yuan.

Shi Huaiya immediately asked Sir Chen to rush to the slums without stopping, and then with the help of the members of the Minliang Association, they arrived at Block 60 from the edge of the slums.

This was the first time that Shi Huaiya and Sir Chen had entered the slums so conveniently, and they drove the police transport vehicle in openly.

When the two men and the police officers behind them saw the changes in the various blocks of this slum, many police officers could not help but be stunned.

The refugees who used to be skinny and full of anger are now all smiling. Some of them are holding full bowls of porridge, eating and chatting with people around them, and no one is snatching the food away.

Especially when they saw the vehicles with the Guard Bureau's logo, no one tried to stop them. Their eyes no longer had the disgust and fear they once had, and were only casual.

Because they know.

These people from the Guards are looking for Mr. Lu.

In fact, there have been some outrageous rumors in the slums recently, such as... the Guard Bureau actually belongs to Mr. Lu, and these high-ranking police officers must obey Mr. Lu's orders.

Most critical.

Many people still believe such rumors.

Therefore, when these people saw the Guard Bureau, their eyes were similar to the way they usually looked at the People's Food Association.

Hi...we are all family...

"Sir...Is this the slum that Mr. Lu Yuan transformed?"

In the car, a police inspector looked outside and said in astonishment.

The other superintendents, inspectors, and police officers had similar expressions, all filled with shock.

Many years ago, the Guards also tried to manage the slums and capture fugitives in the slums.

however.

The refugees, gang members, and infected people in the slums seem to have a natural resistance to the Guard Bureau. It is basically impossible to move in the slums in a police uniform, and it may even eventually lead to a fight between gangs and police officers, resulting in casualties among police officers.

Over time.

The Guards' control over the slums is becoming increasingly weak. They will not enter the slums unless necessary for many missions, and even if they do, they are basically in plain clothes disguised.

This was the first time they had strolled through the slums in such a high-profile manner.

“A lot has changed…”

A female police superintendent couldn't help but mutter.

"Commander Shi Huaiya, did Mr. Lu do all this alone?"

In fact, everyone in the Guards knew about Lu Yuan and what he was doing in the slums. They also knew that Mr. Lu seemed to have a special relationship with their commander Shi Huaiya, and they were suspected of being in a romantic relationship.

It is even possible that they are in a romantic relationship that even Commander Wei would recognize.

"Of course!"

When Lu Yuan was mentioned, Shi Huaiya's originally serious mouth seemed to be unable to hold back a smile. She forced herself to suppress the corners of her mouth that were about to fly up and said.

"One-fifth of the slums are now under the control of Mr. Lu, roughly estimated to be over 300,000 people. Furthermore, Mr. Lu has also established the Civilian Food Association, similar to our Guard Bureau, to coordinate regional forces and maintain regional stability."

"Mr. Lu's thoughts, actions, and strategies are all worthy of learning for our Guard Bureau. In the future, when this slum area is completely stabilized, I may invite Mr. Lu to give a speech at our Guard Bureau."

Shi Huaiya became happier as she spoke. Even though she was trying hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips, everyone in the car could clearly see her gradually rising brows.

Sir Chen, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Shi Huaiya, while Xing Xiong on the other side was trying hard to hold back his laughter.

soon.

The vehicle reached the 60th block without any obstruction.

When all the police officers got out of the car, they saw Lu Yuan and An Suo already waiting for them in a square near the warehouse.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw Lu Yuan.

Shi Huaiya felt as if the leader of the company opposite to hers was her closest friend when she was working. She couldn't help but smile.

"Small..."

Because she was on official business, Shi Huaiya forced back the name that was on the tip of her tongue and pretended to be calm, as if she didn't know him.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for the information you provided."

Shi Huaiya's address almost made Lu Yuan laugh.

He smiled and said, "Here, this is information provided by a gang member in this neighborhood. I personally witnessed my gang's former leader unloading this batch of live goods into the warehouse. Now that the former leader has left the 60th block, I suspect there are more in the warehouse, but most of them have been moved away, and only the last few are left here because they didn't have time."

Lu Yuan roughly explained the whole story to Shi Huaiya.

Shi Huaiya and Chen Sir nodded.

"Anyway, thank you Mr. Lu for your assistance."

Sir Chen nodded and thanked Lu Yuan.

"As a citizen of Longmen, it is my duty to assist the Guard Bureau in their investigation."

Afterwards, under the leadership of Lu Yuan and An Suo, the group arrived at an abandoned warehouse not far away.

Seeing Lu Yuan arrive with many police officers from the Guard Bureau, and even the first two being the famous 'Ferocious Tiger' and 'Crossing River Dragon' in the slums, these gang members suddenly became excited, but soon forced themselves to restrain themselves, standing respectfully by the side, like sentinels, each of them seemed to be competing with this group of regular police officers to see who was more standardized.

Lu Yuan pushed open the door.

After the spell was lifted, the wooden wall returned to the soil, revealing the ochre crystals inside that were half a person's height.

"Sure enough it is!!"

When Sir Chen saw the huge lump, he was surprised to see it was so different from the palm-sized crystals they had confiscated. The police officer from the laboratory behind him grinned and was about to step forward.

However, he was stopped by Lu Yuan.

"I suggest you stay away from this thing."

Several police officers who were about to rush forward stopped immediately and looked at Lu Yuan in confusion.

Lu Yuan explained: "You can definitely detect that this crystal has a certain degree of radioactivity, but this radioactivity is completely different from traditional active Originium and will not affect the Originium particles in the human body."

Shi Huaiya knew this. She nodded and looked at Lu Yuan with her big, blinking eyes.

"Mr. Lu, do you have any new discoveries?"

"Kind of."
