Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 432

Chapter 432: Achieve Success One Way Or Another

“There’s something this good lying around?” Meng Chao was beside himself with joy.

This housing quota managed to solve his immediate worry.

Once he woke up, he started thinking nonstop that he should buy an apartment and move.

He had been unwilling to move out of Blessed Heavenly Garden all this while because the defense in the residential area was rather behind times and worn down. There were not many powerful fighters among his neighbors, either, so if monsters invaded them, the old, weak, and sick would not be able to handle them.

But as he worked with Zhao Feixuan and upgraded the defense system in Blessed Heavenly Garden fully so it would serve as an example of the work from Zhao Feixuan’s company, Blessed Heavenly Garden’s defense was greatly increased, and it could be said to have reached the standard of defenses of a normal commodity residential area.

There was a high chance that he would be targeted by abnormal beasts, so if the abnormal beasts really launched an ambush similar to that on Noble Descent Hotel and released a large amount of zombie viruses and Blood Flower spores, he would not be protecting his neighbors but hurting them, so even if he had kind intentions, they would not bring any good.

But buying an apartment and moving was a major matter.

Meng Chao had just used his achievements last year to buy the public renting house that once belonged to Granny Wang.

If he switched apartments within such a short time, he would have to buy a commodity apartment that was much more expensive.

But even if he bought a high-class commodity apartment like those in Blessed Paradise, something like the case of pets killing owners had happened there. This meant that the residential areas had all sorts of people mixed together, and there were flaws in the security system.

But if he looked for apartments of an even higher grade, he would be looking at mansions at the level of Dragon City No.1, and the prices were a little too high in those areas.

No matter what, Meng Chao had just recently awakened to supernatural abilities.

Superstar had also merged with companies bigger than it twice, so it had already used up most of its money.

Meng Chao could not just fling money around like Soul Break Saber Luo Wu and buy a mansion in Dragon City No.1.

Besides, as the leader of the Broken Star Club, he had to often participate in public welfare activities, and he did agree partially to the Home Party’s ideals and did not wish to be too distant from the normal citizens just because he was a superhuman. So, staying in Dragon City No.1 was a no for him. Although, if he could not stop the apocalypse from arriving, Dragon City No.1 and Blessed Paradise would both be reduced to dust.

Nie Chenglong’s suggestion was what he desired to hear.

The apartments built by collected funds from the abnormal beast research department were basically the same as apartments for the investigators’ families.

His neighbors were all investigators who had been fighting for years against monsters, so safety was definitely ensured. The apartment itself also did not appear flashy. It was sold off at a 20% discount in the market, so there was nothing he could say about the price-performance ratio. If his parents and little sister stayed there, he would feel much more at ease when he cultivated or fought outside.

The only problem was that if he really stayed in the apartments built by the research department, he would be branded as a member of the abnormal beast research department.

Perhaps this was Nie Chenglong’s goal. When he saw that Meng Chao was unwilling to become an official member, he decided to use this method to keep him around.

If his family stayed in an apartment for the family members of the investigators, even if there were other business units or pseudo military organizations who wanted to recruit him, like the adjudicator court coming around with fancy carriages to hire him as an adjudicator, Meng Chao would hesitate a little, right?

However, when he thought about it, his relationship with the abnormal beast research department was no longer a secret within their field and he did not need to ponder over this too much for his family’s safety.

“Then, I will accept it.” Meng Chao repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Nie Chenglong and Ye Xiaoxing.

Both of them happily stated that they were in abnormal times. The abnormal beasts might target all the investigators and their families by planning abductions, assassinations, bewitching, brainwashing, poisoning, or other schemes.

Hence, Nie Chenglong and Ye Xiaoxing had also placed their families in the apartments.

This meant that they would all be neighbors from now on and should keep a lookout and help each other. There was no need for thanks.

Because of it, their relationship became even closer than before. They chatted a little longer with each other before the two leaders bade farewell. Meng Chao also had to handle his discharge procedures and report the good news to his family.

At that moment, Ye Xiaoxing sent him a message.

He cast it a glance. [If you’re not in a hurry to go back, why don’t you go to the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University? Professor Lu Tianxing is awake, and when he heard that you’re his savior and many other transmigration experts’ savior, he wanted to thank you personally.

[Professor Lu Tianxing was a Deity Realm superhuman, so his gratitude will bring immeasurable benefits to your cultivation.

[Also, didn’t you say that you felt strange? This is a perfect chance. I’ll make some arrangements. Once you visit Professor Lu, you can go and receive a full check-up in the hospital. That is the best general hospital in Dragon City.]

The professor was related to the possibility of them transmigrating back to Earth, so Meng Chao agreed to it happily.

[By the way, if you’re going to Professor Lu, you might run into a lot of the leaders from the Home Party, the core members of Blue Home, and even the politicians from the Survival Committee. I know that you have been really close to them over this period of time, and many of them owe you their lives, so they will naturally regard you even higher than before.] Ye Xiaoxing fell into a moment of contemplative silence. [Meng Chao, how do you think Blue Home will develop in the future?]

Meng Chao thought about it. [Captain, you are saying…]

[I’m not trying to imply anything. I told you, the abnormal beast research department is just in charge of capturing highly-intelligent monsters and humans who are brain-washed by the intelligent monsters. The conflict between the Colonization Party and the Home party, the fights between the nine great cultivation families and the medium as well as small firms, the arguments about the budget for offensive projects like the new armored airships and the full upgrade of the defense systems in residential areas… All of them have nothing to do with us.]

Ye Xiaoxing paused for a moment. [Speaking of which, Blue Home has gathered a lot of owners of medium and small firms as well as middle-grade and low-grade superhumans who are displeased with the nine great cultivation families. They’re all victims from the Noble Descent Hotel attack. And now, we managed to find a lot of people who are related to the nine great cultivation families through the clue left behind by Zhou Tianshui.

[These people might not know that they have been used by abnormal beasts, but they do bear strong hostility toward the Home Party. They’re even reckless enough to turn their hostility into criminal acts. This is a fact.

[Now, we have to find all of the people who have either willingly or unintentionally ended up as puppets of the abnormal beasts and capture all of them. Meanwhile, we have to appease and control the emotions of the Blue Home members.

[We can’t let them use this to cause a stir and increase the rift between the Home Party and the Colonization Party nor bury this displeasure and suspicion in their hearts either so that the abnormal beasts can seize the opportunity to grow a new, evil fruit.

[If we look at this from the standpoint of the abnormal beast research department, we’re happy to see Blue Home continue developing lawfully and in an orderly manner for the sake of public welfare so that they can inject brand new ideals and energy into the Survival Committee, but we can’t allow Blue Home to have people like Lin Chuan, Gao Ye, and Zhou Tianshui appear in it again.

[Since you share a pretty good relationship with quite a number of the core members of Blue Home and saved so many lives of the people in the Home Party, from now on, if you have time, you could stay in contact with them. I remember that they invited you to become the thirteenth committee member of Blue Home sometime in the past, right?]

Meng Chao’s mind raced, and he said, [Are you saying that the department supports me becoming a committee member of Blue Home?]

[Since you’re not an official investigator of the department, we can’t say that we support it or are against it. It’s your freedom!]

Ye Xiaoxing smiled. [But I definitely support it. During Dragon City’s development over the past half a century, we’ve gained success, but also created problems. The problems of various sizes have led to the formation of organizations of varying sizes, and if we don’t solve the problems at the root but just get rid of the organizations, we’ll never be able to solve the issuess. In fact, we’ll be avoiding and hiding the problem.

“Since we can’t solve the problems for the time being, organizations like Blue Home and the Broken Star Club will keep appearing. If we have someone capable like you take control of them, it’ll be better than handing them over to ignorant people like us, right? After all, you see the full picture and are loyal to Dragon City.]

Meng Chao thought about Ye Xiaoxing’s words carefully.

And one hour later, he appeared in the hall of the unique inpatient building of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University.

While he was on the way there, he got himself up to date with Professor Lu’s situation.

The top transmigration expert of Dragon City was fine in terms of physical health.

But the Demonic Abyss Eye had attacked his mind viciously with mind attacks. However, at the end of the day, he was a Deity Realm superhuman.

No matter how much he had been neglecting cultivating his fighting power, he could still rely on the fluctuations of his brain waves to form simple and crude mental storms to instantly cripple hundreds of monsters and sever the mental chain between him and the Demonic Abyss Eye.

Hence, that night, the Demonic Abyss Eye itself had been lurking at the bottom of the elevator shaft and waiting for him to fall down.

When Professor Lu was dragged into the elevator shaft, the Demonic Abyss Eye immediately attacked him with its strongest mind attack.

Caught off guard, Professor Lu fell unconscious and was a sheep waiting for slaughter.

But the Demonic Abyss Eye still spent a large amount of spirit energy and mental power to break Professor Lu’s mental walls. That was why it could not control Gao Ye later and Meng Chao was able to seize the opportunity to make him wake up.

If they looked at things from this angle, Meng Chao was not the one who saved Professor Lu.

They had saved each other.

Without Professor Lu making the Supernatural Entity waste most of its mental power beforehand, Meng Chao would have ended up with not even a single bone left. He would have been completely digested and absorbed by the Demonic Abyss Eye.

Now, Professor Lu had regained consciousness, and his vitality magnetic field had gradually become stable to the point that he had reached the standard where he could accept visitors.

The first visitor he wanted to meet was Meng Chao.

However, before Meng Chao could even meet Professor Lu, he wasenveloped in a bear hug from a person who was so passionate that he was like fire.

It was Zhao Feixuan.

He was one of the ten great lost people in Dragon City from Meng Chao’s previous life, but now, he was beaming at him.

When he saw Meng Chao, he was so grateful that he started crying.

But it wasn’t unexpected. If Meng Chao had not showed up on time, his wife and children would have died tragically.

He himself would have also turned into high-calorie nutritional fluid for the Demonic Abyss Eye, so the entire family would be reunited in hell.

Now, even though the twins were really weak because they were born prematurely and were under observation in the neonatal department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical University, their parents were superhumans, so the children had good bases. After being treated for a few days, they could be discharged. Then, they would grow strong and start running around like normal children.

Zhao Feixuan treated his wife and children more importantly than the world.

So, no matter how he wrecked his brain, he did not know how he should thank Meng Chao.
