177: Chapter 176 Amidst the Chaos

The location cursor spun twice and finally stopped in a large area of green belt.

It prominently displayed two large characters: Mianyin.

The worst-case scenario had still occurred. Gu Han zoomed in on the map; between their current location and the inland border line, a winding blue water belt still lay across.

That was a wide river. If they wanted to bypass this river and take the land route back to the country, they would need to walk at least twenty kilometers more, and the entire route was a lawless chaotic zone.

Gu Han roughly checked the direction, turned off location and network, and stuffed the handheld device into his pocket.

Right now, they could only head towards the river first, see what the specific situation was, and then make a decision.

Tang Wuying followed behind and asked aloud: "We are not staying here to wait for rescue? My dad might arrange for a helicopter to come."

"Then you stay behind. Do you really think I let you send the distress message to wait for rescue? Your dad has probably already taken action. Now that he knows it is Commander Ang Tai's men, he will definitely contact King Wafan to send people over, and King Wafan will most likely control you to trap the Tang Family."

Tang Wuying was stunned, his face turning pale instantly: "Then why did you still let me send it!"

"This matter has already happened, and neither of us can stay out of it. Only by making the situation chaotic can we escape." Gu Han turned and walked deep into the woods, constantly thinking and weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

The two shuttled through the mosquito-filled woods, walking as the weeds grew taller and denser. After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the wide riverbank.

The river water was muddy, and the current crashing against the bank made a dull sound. The riverbank was overgrown with person-high weeds.

Gu Han looked around, chose an extremely secluded patch of grass, and directly pushed aside the grass leaves to drill in.

Tang Wuying quickly followed, and the two squeezed side by side into the grass. After walking several hundred steps further, they stopped at a beachhead with even denser grass.

The weeds here were already taller than a person. If they squatted down, the helicopters passing by in the sky probably wouldn't see them.

Gu Han plucked some weeds, rolled them into a ball, and covered his head. Fortunately, both of them were wearing black clothes, which weren't too eye-catching.

"What should we do next?" Tang Wuying followed suit, continuously pulling grass and rolling it into a ball with his hands.

Gu Han stared at the river surface, calculating whether bringing someone to fly across would work. He didn't know if the Power Of Faith was enough, but he had to handle business first.

Being targeted could only be said to be within Gu Han's expectations, but the reality was even worse than anticipated.

He didn't expect it to instantly involve overseas forces, but fortunately, the disguise of Old Granny was currently being worn by Tang Wuying.

This probably wasn't a coincidence; perhaps many people had already targeted him because of his skill.

Being in a troubled world, one must never be soft-hearted.

Rather than sitting and waiting for death to let others make them chess pieces, it was better to overturn the chessboard so that no one could play chess.

Even if the Abyss Company had channels to find out that Tang Wuying was not Old Granny, Gu Han still wanted to focus all factions' attention on Tang Wuying, completely pulling himself out of the game.

"Close your eyes and enter the Divine Kingdom." Gu Han did not waste words.

Their consciousness sank, and they instantly appeared within Gu Han's Divine Kingdom.

Gu Han did not delay. He took out two gas masks, handed one out, put it on his face, and then directly waved his hand.

A bunch of plants with bright red flowers flew in front of the two.

The stems and leaves of this plant presented an eerie purplish-red, and the petals were enchanting, exuding an extremely sweet fragrance that made one feel like floating to immortality at a single sniff.

This was the trophy Gu Han casually brought back when he counter-invaded Dakan's Divine Kingdom previously. At that time, Dakan's Divine Kingdom was planting this thing in a large area.

"Th-this... what is this?" Tang Wuying immediately put on the gas mask and stared at that bunch of plants. After smelling that fragrance earlier, a strange rush had inexplicably flashed through his brain just now. He quickly reacted and took a fierce step back.

"Huanxi." Gu Han's tone was calm.

Tang Wuying's eyes instantly bulged slightly, and he immediately tightened his gas mask, his voice cracking: "You're crazy! This is a capital crime! You brought this thing into the Divine Kingdom, what do you want to do? Want to die? This is against the law!"

In the Divine Kingdom Era, all kinds of divine plants emerged endlessly. Even before the Divine Kingdom Era, this thing was a euphoric plant that could make people produce extreme liking and damage nerves.

This thing directly stimulated the brain, forcibly compelling the brain to produce extreme pleasure. After being processed, it was named Divine Huanxi. It wouldn't cause death, but it could make people lose their drive, indulge all day long, and even gods would find it hard to resist.

Gu Han ignored Tang Wuying's astonishment: "I want you to start from now on, using your Selective Birth skill to carry out targeted screening on this batch of Huanxi."

"Pull its growth speed to the slowest, make it extremely difficult to cultivate, and the purity of the euphoria must be extremely high."

Tang Wuying shook his head like a rattle-drum: "I won't do it! You are trying to harm me! What on earth are you trying to do?! You are asking for a death sentence!"

"Don't worry about it, just do it." Gu Han said expressionlessly.

Gu Han stepped forward, grabbed Tang Wuying by the collar, and dragged him in front of him.

"You have no choice now. If you are caught by King Wafan's or Commander Ang Tai's people, you will definitely be forced to consume Divine Huanxi. With your skill, you will definitely become a chef who cultivates ingredients for them."

"Since that's the case, let's do it in advance, and you still have a choice. Otherwise, the best way is for me to kill you right now." Gu Han flipped his other hand, and several black poisonous mushrooms covered in barbs and emitting a fishy stench appeared in his palm.

"I have already crossed reality's Lanxin Grass with this thing, and it can be cultivated and planted. Your next task is to screen this neurotoxin into a covert chronic toxin while purifying the euphoric degree."

The more Tang Wuying listened, the more frightened he became: "Big brother, what on earth are you trying to do? I'm scared!"

Gu Han let go of his hand and patiently explained.

"I want to create a major chaos. Once this batch of specially made Huanxi is produced, it will inevitably be fought over by the forces on both sides. Its rare characteristic excludes the grassroots masses, and they will definitely sell it at high prices to high-end addicts all over the world."

Tang Wuying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and listened dazedly.

"This thing is hard to grow. Even if forced to ripen by skills, it won't have too much medicinal potency. Wait until those wealthy and powerful buyers become addicted for a period of time, chronic nerve poison accumulates day by day, until the moment it erupts."

"Commander Ang Tai, King Wafan, and even other participating factions as the source will all suffer frantic retaliation from all high-end buyers."

"Before the poison breaks out, national forces, major factions, and even black hands worldwide will fall into chaos because of the thing you created. Only when things become chaotic will there be an opportunity to avoid their attention and give us room to grow."

As Tang Wuying listened on, his entire person became somewhat dazed.

He only paid attention to the sentence Gu Han said— "The whole world will go crazy because of the thing you created".

Tang Wuying even began to immerse himself in the feeling of being that kind of mastermind behind the scenes.

"Wait, don't speak, I am thinking, let me sort it out."

"Writing this, I revised it over and over again, afraid it would get deleted."

"Fictional plot, any resemblance is purely coincidental. Establish correct values."

"Art comes from life, and works are only more restrained than reality. Many dangers are right around everyone, say no to gambling and drugs, prevent abduction and fraud."

"The trip to Mianyin was originally a major arc, with the two little sweet leeks comically creating chaos in Mianyin, but some book friends couldn't stand letting the protagonist suffer a little bit. This might also be what you call a poison point, so I drastically turned it into a small section."

"I hope everyone reads happily, don't forget to support with a triple-combo. Updating extra chapters is really bitter; needing to plot and check materials is making my brain explode."
