At the same time,

In another gray-yellow circular building in Yangfan City, there were quite a few people gathered together. These people were working intensively with complicated faces. The 4 walls of the building were full of photos, intricate arrows, connecting lines, and a large amount of analytics written on the blackboard next to them.

The person instructing these people to work was a woman in a gray dress and gray glasses. She looked like a village girl in the urban-rural fringe. She sat in front of the table, typed on the old typewriter and gave commands from time to time while looking at the information on the walls.

This woman looked ordinary, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright as if she could see into the depths of people’s hearts. She exuded a strong sense of confidence as if there was no problem that she couldn’t solve in the world!

Suddenly, a thin, pale man walked in from outside, grabbed a companion and whispered a few words, then he posted a photo on the blackboard next to him.

This photo was not someone else, but Fang Linyan. The photo was taken when he was signing a contract with the old black man Gagie.

The pale man coughed, then took a cup of red liquid next to him and drank it in. He squinted and said,

“It is almost certain that this guy dressed up as a scavenger is also a contestant… This mouse hides very deeply, but he still can’t escape my eyes!”

However, a woman wearing a robe and cap immediately sneered,

“Hehe, Blood Slave, you idiot, do you really think this is your own ability? Without the convenience and shelter provided by Master Gai Qiushan, can you find someone here with peace of mind?”

After hearing this, Blood Slave made a screaming noise from his throat. The canine teeth in his mouth bared out in an instant; His eyes suddenly turned red; his hair also stood up like an angry cat. Like, he almost wanted to eat someone alive. He roared after a while,

“Canvis! Don’t think that you can simply humiliate me just because you get along with Master Gai Qiushan better. I tell you, I will tear out your throat to chew one day!”

The woman called Canvis smiled disdainfully and said,

“I am waiting.”

After speaking, she turned and left, but when she left, she seemed to inadvertently make a gesture of slashing his throat with his finger. Blood Slave responded with a sneer, but the sneer immediately solidified on his face. Because the wall that Canvis slid with her finger had a neat cut; powder falling from it.

Seeing this scene, the woman with gray-framed glasses held her hand on the frame indifferently, turning a blind eye to all this. Then. she gestured to the person next to her and pulled off the picture of Fang Linyan on the blackboard and moved directly to another big blackboard.

Above the big blackboard was written with 1 word: Bait!

On this blackboard, 8 photos had been densely pasted.

Then, the woman in a gray dress turned her head and looked at another large blackboard. A bird’s eye view of a warehouse was pinned on this blackboard. On the top right corner of the bird’s eye view picture, there was a big red X. The red was very bright as if it was written with blood. There were 4 words below the picture.

Clean!

Gai Qiushan.

The woman in a gray dress pondered for a moment, then she suddenly stood up and began to give orders. The people in the building immediately began to get busy…

After the war, it seemed that the entire Yangfan City had fallen into a false peace, but even the ruler of the city: Iron Fist Brotherhood did not expect that under this seemingly calm atmosphere, there were already many outsiders gathering, preparing for something.

***

As the sun began to rise to the top of the sky, there was a bit of heat in the originally warm sunlight. The vendors everywhere on the street began to hide in the shade of the trees and in the eaves to avoid being dehydrated too fast.

Fang Linyan was queuing in front of the free water dispenser on the street. This was one of the public welfare facilities set up on the street by the Iron Fist Brotherhood which could provide people passing by with clean water from 8 am to 6 pm every day.

To be honest, Fang Linyan didn’t have much good impression of this kind of public welfare equipment, because, in his concept, this kind of facility was often vandalized by people. It was the same with derogatory terms such as dirty, tattered, inferior, etc.

If it weren’t because he had no money and was quite thirsty at this time, he wouldn’t queue up no matter how. However, when it was really his turn, he was surprised to find that although the water purification device was old, it was cleaned. The damaged parts had been carefully repaired, and everyone could receive a disposable cup.

This cup was very rough. It seemed to be woven from dry cactus or shrub fibers. A green plant leaf was put at the bottom of the cup to barely ensure that the water would not leak out, but it was enough to drink water.

After drinking 6 cups of water, Fang Linyan pulled out the green plant leaf in the cup and threw it in the garbage dump as shown by the arrow next to it, then he threw the disposable cup in his hand into the basket beside it.

When the basket is full, it would be dragged to the side of the sun to expose it to the sun. It only took half an hour for the cup to be dry. This cheap and effective disinfection method was also ingenious. From the chatting of the people next to him, Fang Linyan also learned why this public welfare facility was maintained so well…

That was, Iron Fist Brotherhood had only prepared 2 penalties for those who destroyed these public welfare facilities.

The punishment for a person with a heavier crime was to hang him directly on the shelf by the side! Such ‘warning signs’ should be more persuasive than any propaganda slogans.

The punishment for those with a lesser crime was to be brought to dig radiation mines for 6 months, then he had to compensate for the related repair and maintenance costs. If he didn’t have money, it was okay. Continue to mine radiation mines. The daily reward was 10 copper coins. He had to dig until the money was enough for compensation…

“Sure enough, a strict rule is needed to rule such a chaotic world.” Fang Linyan sighed, then he honestly followed the dotted line on the road.

TL: Hmmm, what bait? And what operation are they planning?
