Chapter 1533: How to Deal with the Blue Blood Alliance

If the Fire Phoenix isn't Blue Blood, then who else could it be?

Xia Qing pressed on, "What about Chonglian? I think Yu Dongming of Chonglian fits the description of a Blue Blood core member perfectly."

Yu Dongming is an ordinary person who wants to trigger an Evolver ability. He holds great power in Chonglian and can mobilize billions or tens of billions of points. Combined with all kinds of building materials and machinery produced by Chonglian, he can support underground experimental projects.

Zhang San shook his head again. "Yu Dongming isn't. Otherwise he wouldn't have established the Chonglian Life Sciences Research Institute, personally recruited a research team, and run illegal experiments."

Xia Qing felt this guy was extremely suspicious. "Third Brother, could it be that the Chonglian Life Sciences Research Institute is a smokescreen he set up to cover his identity as a Blue Blood core member?"

"Not very likely. Over the years, the country has been looking for a breakthrough to get the list of Blue Blood Alliance core members and root out this deeply entrenched criminal group. The Chonglian Group must be a key suspect. I've met him a few times, and he doesn't have that kind of depth. If he were a Blue Blood core member, he'd have been caught long ago."

"You're right. His suspicion can be ruled out." Xia Qing continued asking, "Are there any Blue Blood mid-to-high level or core members in our Hui Three Base? You don't need evidence—just tell me who you suspect, so I can be on guard in advance."

Zhang San shook his head. "Originally, because of Tang Zhengrong, I suspected Tang Zhengpo, but after more than a year of contact, I think he's most likely not. I haven't had much contact with other people in the Hui Three Safe Zone, so I can't judge."

Xia Qing carefully asked her final question, "Then… what about our base leader?"

Zhang San answered cautiously, "He wasn't before, and most likely isn't now either. I can't guarantee about the future."

Xia Qing nodded.

Zhang San didn't speak again, letting Xia Qing digest the information on her own and sort out the situation before her.

Telling her that the former Hui City Chief Base Leader was a core member of the Blue Blood Alliance, Zhang San had anticipated she would feel enormous pressure.

This pressure had already crushed Deng Yufeng, the one who walked out of the underground lab and is called the Fire Phoenix, but Zhang San still chose to tell the new human before him.

Because Xia Qing is a four-system Evolver, an ally to him—a scientific talent targeted by Blue Blood, who wants to capture her for their underground lab—and the leader of this hopeful Northern Zone One territory.

Last night, she cooperated with the wolf pack to capture Liehu's well-equipped Second Squad, which very likely leaked the news that she can command evolved forest beasts in battle.

With all these factors combined, Xia Qing is bound to become a key recruitment target for the Blue Blood Alliance. Only by letting her fully recognize the true nature of this alliance will she avoid being lured onto their ship without realizing it.

The higher she stands, the heavier the pressure she bears. Only those who can straighten their backs and bear this pressure while continuing forward are true strong.

Zhang San sank into the soft chair back, his gaze slightly lowered, full of expectations for Xia Qing.

Then, he saw the human strong across from him pick up a slice of dragon fruit she had cut herself, bite off more than half in one mouthful, stuff the rest in with a second bite, then grab a second slice. After finishing, she wiped her mouth clean with a wet wipe, used the same wipe to casually swipe at her hands a few times, considered her cleaning routine complete, and turned her eyes back to the fruit peels on the table.

Zhang San raised a hand and pressed it against his forehead.

Seeing her idol troubled, Xia Qing, who had finished asking her questions, immediately declared, "Third Brother, I've remembered everything you said. I'll take my medicine on time every day to recuperate, and I'll wait until my body has fully recovered before removing the Yishi."

Zhang San nodded, waiting for her to bring up the Blue Blood Alliance.

He didn't expect this human strong to directly pull a plastic bag from her protective suit pocket, shake it open, and nimbly stuff the dragon fruit peels and sugarcane peels from the table into it. "Third Brother, I'm heading back to clean the basement?"

After Zhang Shi and Ye Yiyi moved out, the basement had to be thoroughly cleaned. Then Xia Qing had to go inside and wander around, letting her scent permeate the basement, so no one would discover that a child had lived there for a month.

After cleaning the basement, she still had to clear out the cow dung, chicken droppings, and sheep droppings in the greenhouse and disinfect it, change the water for the spring-water fish in the tank, then pull out the plants past their flowering period in the beekeeping greenhouse, fertilize, water, and plant grass seeds, and finally loosen the soil in the fig sapling field.

If she stayed any longer, she wouldn't finish her work for the morning.

Zhang San raised his eyes and stared coldly at the new human holding the fruit peels. "What did you remember?"

How much of what she said had she actually remembered? If she remembered it all, how could she still look so eager to rush back and farm!

This… Xia Qing shrunk her head.

If she said she remembered everything, would her idol make her recite the words verbatim? She… couldn't do it…

Zhang San got angry and asked directly, "How do you plan to deal with the Blue Blood Alliance?"

This one!

Xia Qing immediately straightened her back and answered, "Just as you said, the core members of the Blue Blood Alliance are big shots on the level of the Hui City Chief Base Leader. Even the base leaders and vice base leaders of various bases can only scrape by as mid-level members in there. Compared to them, I'm not even a small shrimp. A criminal group of this level should of course be left to the country, to the officials to deal with. Didn't you just say the country is already taking action to completely eradicate them?"

Zhang San…

Xia Qing earnestly explained her plan to her idol. "I think we shouldn't go out and provoke them, but we must be fully prepared to prevent them from invading our territory. To that end, we need to do three things well."

"First, each of us does our own job well. We lords farm seriously and reclaim land; you focus on your research. When grain output is high, everyone can eat their fill, and sick people can use the high-quality, affordable special medicine you develop and our pharmaceutical factory produces. The inflammatory rhetoric the radicals spread won't catch on, and Blue Blood won't be able to recruit too many employees or sell too many products."

"Second, we need to strengthen our territory's security defense. This includes buying more weapons, improving everyone's combat ability, and taking effective measures to prevent Blue Blood people from infiltrating. You don't need to worry about this. I'll discuss it seriously with Captain Tan and the alliance members to come up with a proper plan."

"Third, I will strengthen contact with the Northern Wolf Pack, Northern Bear Pack, Western Wolf Pack, Western Tiger Pack, and Eastern Jackal Pack, to ensure that no matter which route Blue Blood Alliance people use to invade our territory or our evolved forest allies' territories, we can keep track of their movements in time and act quickly."

Seeing her idol still wanted to hear more, Xia Qing continued, "Of course, evil organizations like Blue Blood are like evolved cockroaches and rats—you can never finish them off or kill them all. As long as we solve the food and medicine problems, the big picture will be stable, and these cockroaches will only be able to crawl in the gutters. Don't worry too much. You just focus on your research, and I'll focus on farming my fields. This is our turf. Even a strong dragon can't overpower a local snake, let alone a group of cockroaches that don't dare show their faces! If they dare come to rob our territory, we'll wipe out every last one of these things!"

Zhang San lowered the hand pressing his temple and asked gently, "Are you taking the sugarcane peels back to feed the sheep?"

Seeing her idol's attitude, Xia Qing knew she had passed the test, and immediately seized the chance to propose a trade. "Yes, the Big Sheep loves eating sugarcane peels. Third Brother, can I trade you for some of the sugarcane residue left over from your sugar-making?"

"Sugarcane peels have high lignin content, low protein and energy content, and are hard to digest. They should be fermented before feeding to cattle and sheep. Go find Daya and have him get you two bags of fermented ones."

"Thank you, Third Brother!!! You're really…"

"Shut up, or you won't get a single bit of sugarcane residue."
