Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

“Is Ms. Mulian a young girl?” Meng Chao asked with great interest.

This was a girl who had others refer to her as “Miss” despite her age, and she had the same status as the village chief and Wild Wolf. There had to be something special about her.

“Ms. Mulian is the village chief’s granddaughter. She’s only twenty years old, but she’s really amazing,” A’Ji said seriously. “She has a unique superpower, which allows her to shine with a pure, holy light. It is warm, and when she turns that light on someone, she can get rid of their sicknesses and pains. No matter how bad the sickness is, she can cure it without using any medicine, or at the very least give the sick some relief.

“And Ms. Mulian isn’t stingy about using this amazing power either. Since she was around seven or eight, she started wandering the streets to relieve the villagers of their pain. When she treats the villagers, she doesn’t take much money from them. She just takes a few items as a symbol. They’re just synthetic food cans, toys made of scrap metal, or even just a word of thanks.

“She doesn’t set any boundaries when she treats the villagers and doesn’t choose people. As long as she sees some pitiful sod tormented by an illness, she is willing to do everything in her power to help them.

“More than ten years have passed since she began helping us, and countless villagers have received blessings from her.

“Even I… People usually avoid resource recoverers like me. They pinch their noses when they see me and kick me into the drain. But Ms. Mulian is really gentle toward me. When she treated me, she spoke gently to comfort me while I basked in the warm, pure light around her. I think that she’s a living Buddha sent to save the people who are living hard lives!”

Meng Chao was contemplative. “You were also healed by Ms. Mulian?”

“That’s right. Boss Feng took me to her.” The corner of A’Ji’s eyelids twitched. “Boss Feng knew that Ms. Mulian has superpowers, so he intentionally crushed my hands and sent me to Ms. Mulian for healing. Without spending any money, he got a lot of precious medicine from Ms. Mulian. It was his way to increase the agility of my hands.”

“Did Ms. Mulian know about Boss Feng’s goals?”

“Boss Feng naturally never dared to appear in front of her. He asked the children who had their hands crushed to go to her alone and lie to her.

“Ms. Mulian must have guessed what was going on, but she never refused to treat us. She would just sigh, and when she healed us, she looked even more sympathetic than when treating others. I’ve lived for more than ten years, but that’s the only time someone showed me so much pity. I will never forget how Ms. Mulian looked at me.”

Meng Chao nodded.

The lack of medical treatment had always been a chronic illness of Dragon City, and it was really difficult to treat it.

While powerful people with a lot of power and influence gained cultivation resources worth astronomical figures and continued breaking the limits of their lives to develop the endless potential within their bodies so that they could become stronger, normal people were often not even able to get the most basic healthcare security.

Meng Chao’s family was a good example.

His father, Meng Yishan, was from the Red Dragon Army and knew how to harvest monsters. He had two children at home, but it was not too hard for him to put bread on the table. His children also worked hard and went to key public high schools, so he did not have to spend extra money for them to go to training classes.

Even so, in ten years or so, Meng Yishan was never able to get enough money to get super alloy joints for his wife, so she had to walk with a limp and be tormented by pain.

The medical treatment that the villagers could buy was probably even worse than that.

And as the descendants of infectees, their chances of being infected by illnesses were much higher than of the normal citizens outside.

The villagers might look powerful with their horns, wings, claws, fangs, and great strength, but there were only a handful of people who could use their deformities to increase their strength while still remaining healthy. They were the lucky few.

Most of the infectees’ descendants could not get any benefits from their deformities. They only had weak bodies and lived in pain and suffering.

In that sort of situation, Ms. Mulian appeared, and she was willing to provide free, effective medical treatment. She was truly a living Buddha sent to save the poor and the suffering. It was no wonder then why the villagers had such good opinions about her.

Meng Chao believed that Ms. Mulian was like monsters who were born with racial skills and could use supernatural abilities without cultivation.

He had heard his lecturers in the university talk about cases of people who were born with supernatural powers.

Compared to those who awakened through cultivation later on, the people who awakened to supernatural abilities by birth could only control a limited number of skills. At most, they could only create one to two spirit energy magnetic fields.

But if they used their entire lives to polish these spirit energy magnetic fields, they would become outstanding people in their fields.

‘Looks like this Ms. Mulian is a born superhuman with skills made for the medical field.’

Meng Chao thought about this for a moment and said, “Since you like Ms. Mulian so much and she’s the village chief’s granddaughter, is there a possibility that she will become the new village chief once her grandfather dies?”

“If Ms. Mulian really wanted to become the village chief, I think that Wild Wolf wouldn’t compete with her. Instead, he would support her with everything he has.

“But I think Ms. Mulian doesn’t have a lot of interest in becoming the village chief. She has opened a hospital and is busy with healing the sick every day. She doesn’t have the time and energy to become the village chief.

“Besides, Wild Wolf and the village chief are as close as father and son. Even though Ms. Mulian is the village chief’s granddaughter, she still has to refer to Wild Wolf as Uncle Wolf. Their relationship is very good. In the past, when Ms. Mulian went to the most dangerous underground shelter in Leprosy Village to give free treatment, the people from Wild Wolves protected her.

“If Ms. Mulian wanted to become the village chief, Wild Wolf would definitely support her fully, and it’s the same the other way round. If Wild Wolf wanted to become the village chief, Ms. Mulian would definitely support him fully.”

Meng Chao nodded, and three lines of words appeared in his head.

Villager: Food, drinkable water, survival resources.

Wild Wolf: Brute force.

Ms. Mulian: Medical treatment, health, and perhaps psychological comfort to a certain degree.

The order in this area was the amalgamation of these three things.

“By the way, since Ms. Mulian is the village chief’s granddaughter, what about her father, the village chief’s son?” Meng Chao asked. “He should be someone powerful as well. Why didn’t you mention him?”

A’Ji was taken aback for a moment. He thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, “Um… I don’t know. I’ve never heard anyone mention Ms. Mulian’s father before. The village chief doesn’t have any children either. He must have died a long time ago.”

“So, these are the three people who have the power to control the situation in Leprosy Village? The village chief, Wild Wolf, and Ms. Mulian?” Meng Chao said.

“Yeah, it’s these three… No, two and a half,” A’Ji said. “Everyone respects and loves Ms. Mulian a lot, but I don’t know whether she can control the situation. After all, she only knows how to heal. She doesn’t know how to fight.”

“Alright.” Meng Chao’s mind raced and quickly assessed the three candidates. Half a second later, he made his decision. “Didn’t you say that Ms. Mulian opened a hospital? Take me there now.”

A’Ji hesitated a little.

Meng Chao scowled. “What’s wrong?”

“Well…” A’Ji was conflicted, and he even clenched his fists before he forced himself to straighten his back, puff out his thin chest, and say loudly, “I can bring you over to Ms. Mulian, Uncle, but you must first tell me who you are, whether you’re a good guy or a bad guy, and why you want to look for Ms. Mulian.

“I-I might not be in a hurry to die, but I’m not scared of death at all— Fine, I’m scared of death, but there are certain things that I won’t do even if it means death, and one of them is betraying Ms. Mulian!

“I’m telling you, Uncle, Ms. Mulian has a very unique status in all of the villagers’ hearts. If you dare to touch even a single hair on her head, Wild Wolf, all of the villagers, and I will not spare you!”

When Meng Chao saw how the boy was pretending to be tough despite trembling all over while saying the toughest words with the most cowardly look he had ever seen, he laughed.

“Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person,” Meng Chao said.

“It’s not as if bad people write ‘I’m a bad person’ on their heads.” A’Ji gathered his courage. “How are you going to prove it?”

Meng Chao spread his arms and said, “You should be able to tell that I have no deformities. I came from the outside world.”

“So what?” A’Ji said. “To us, the people outside are all bad guys, or at least, none of you are good.”

Meng Chao had nothing to say to that.

Naturally, he had one hundred ways to force the boy to “work” with him.

But after he heard A’Ji’s words, he did not want to do that.

He only sighed and said, “Judging by your actions, you’re a pretty smart boy, so use your head and think carefully. If I were a bad person and wanted to do bad things, I’d definitely plan carefully and understand the entire situation before I take action. How would I not even know how many important people there are in Leprosy Village and where they live?

“The information you shared could be learned by just asking around outside. To those who are really bad, it’s not valuable, right?”

A’Ji tilted his head to the side and thought about it for a long time before he nodded and said, “Yeah, I guess so.”

“So, I’m not a bad person,” Meng Chao said. “But you might be right about something. There might be a group of bad people who want to harm Ms. Mulian right now. So, we have to do everything we can to save her!”

A’Ji was shocked. “Wh-What? Who could it be?”

“Of course it’s the group who caused the explosion earlier. I’ll explain the details and the causes to you later. Right now, we must hurry to Ms. Mulian’s hospital. You don’t want Ms. Mulian’s hospital to end up in ruins like the other building and be leveled to the ground, right?”

A’Ji’s face turned stark pale. He was stunned for half a second before he immediately said, “I’ll take you there right now!”

With the local boy’s help, Meng Chao gained the best guide in a dark maze.

A’Ji led Meng Chao around. At times, they crawled through ducts, and at other times, they descended further into the ground. They moved through drainage pipes, ventilation pipes, maintenance shafts, abandoned elevator shafts, and took a lot of shortcuts.

In just ten minutes, they moved through the entire underground and arrived at a manhole cover near the surface.
