Chapter 248 Finally It's about to start.

The next morning, Liu Xiao went to the sanatorium and chatted with his grandmother from early morning until noon. They also enjoyed a pleasant lunch together.
As Liu Xiao quickly rose in the ranks within the organization, his grandmother now receives the highest level of treatment and attention in the sanatorium. However, unfortunately, the so-called treatment is the same for her whether it exists or not. Being able to chat with the elderly in the sanatorium, read poetry, and copy old song lyrics every day already brings her a lot of happiness.
Occasionally, when family members come to visit, especially when my own grandson, whom I have raised, comes to visit, it feels just like celebrating the Chinese New Year.

The director informed me that due to my special identity, the resident doctor at the recuperation center has been replaced by the director of a top-tier hospital. Additionally, the medical team has been expanded, and security work is now officially handled by the military. However, considering the current situation, the provincial government has allocated special funds to establish a new recuperation center. The specific address is strictly confidential, and even he doesn't know its location.
After listening to the detailed report from the hospital director, Liu Xiao was quite satisfied. However, Bai Ling, who had been overseeing the construction of the new sanatorium for the past few months, had some objections. The construction still hadn't been completed, and the so-called prestigious hospital mentioned by the director wasn't even the best one in the city. The department director appointed was not from the originally agreed upon respiratory department. In short, Bai Ling was unhappy with everything and angrily confronted the staff responsible for supervising the tasks within the organization on the spot.
Liu Xiao has been amazed by it, unexpectedly, Baoling, who is usually kind and easygoing, also has such a dominant and strong side. However, it's heartwarming to know that Baoling is so concerned because it's all for the safety of her own family.
After leaving the sanatorium, Liu Xiao needed to meet two people.
At the usual place, the two individuals had already arrived early. It was easy to tell from the number of cigarette butts in the ashtray that not only were they early, but they were also quite restless.
When Liu Xiao stepped into the compartment, Zhang Zhaohui and Bao Huaming seemed a little stunned because they didn't recognize the newcomer.
"Fake skin," Liu Xiao pointed at his own face and casually said.
Both nodded their heads, and Zhang Zhaohui felt a bit uneasy. It was only when Liu Xiao sat down steadily that he nervously took a seat.
However, it was different for Bao Hua. He casually handed Liu Xiao a cigarette and straightforwardly said, "After you left last night, we carefully considered the situation. Let's not mention our past grievances. It's embarrassing to bring them up anyway. Let's focus on the future, how should we all move forward."
"Do you have any results?" Liu Xiao lit a cigarette for himself and leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.
"There is a preliminary result, but I need to hear your opinion," said Bao Hua.
"Speak up, I don't have much time."
"This is how we've considered it," Zhang Chaohui said seriously. "We want to establish a self-defense organization centered in Wu City, covering the central and southwest regions of Zhejiang. This organization will safeguard social order and the people here, independent of the government and the military. If the situation you mentioned earlier really occurs, we will firmly stand with the government. In normal times, we will also abide by the law. If there are foreign forces or lawless elements like the Divine Qiantang, we will take action!"
Liu Xiao nodded, "That's great, and you don't need to ask for my opinion."
Zhang Zhaohui looked at Bao Hua with some difficulty.
Bao Hua immediately said, "We want to establish an organization in your name. Look, I'll be direct. We want you to be our leader. Although the two groups of us have reconciled, we fought and killed each other at the origin for a few months. We had a fight just two nights ago and sacrificed several people. It's impossible for us to not have any grievances towards each other. Therefore, the only person who can completely convince everyone is you."
"Yes, what Bao Hua said is correct, and to be honest, our group of people may have the courage of ordinary individuals, but we lack a broader perspective and knowledge. Sigh, we have been deceived and yet still counting money for others," Zhang Zhaohui self-deprecatingly remarked.
"There were quite a few people present yesterday, what you said, can it represent how many people?" Liu Xiao asked.
Zhang Zhaohui immediately replied, "Everyone!"
Liu Xiao frowned and looked at Bao Hua, only to see Bao Hua nodding heavily.
这倒是有些出乎刘嚣的意料，他本以为多少总会有几个刺头存在。
“我们这些人并不是什么达官显贵，但也不是作奸犯科的歹人，世世代代在这里生存，经过了原点的这几个月，大家想要的无非是一个平平安安的生活环境，和家人朋友享受正常人的生活，大家没那么大的野心，说句大实话，有大野心的人，也不会留在这里，早去大城市了。而且，昨晚您说的那番话，大家都是相信的，原点试炼虽然结束了，但各种势力的角逐才刚刚开始，如果真到了那一天，确实只有我们能站出来，守护这里的一切。”
Zhang Zhaohui said with utmost seriousness.
“昨晚到场的一些人，是之前就返回地球的团队成员，你在钱塘的事迹他们都很清楚，现场就给我们做了科普，一晚斩杀数百个未归者，又在数十万人面前，轻轻松松干死了什么天启骑士，半个华夏都震惊了，这样的人说的话，我们能不服吗？”包华有些兴奋的补充道。
Liu Xiao nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said to the two, "The trial has just ended 2 days ago, and the real test for you has not yet arrived. I believe that soon, various major transmuter forces will offer tempting conditions to recruit humans and strong individuals indiscriminately on Earth. But that is a story for another time. I agree with what you just said. Officially, I can be the leader of this team. As long as I am on Earth, I will also participate in the team's actions. When I am not around, someone will provide guidance and assistance to you. Every member of the team will receive corresponding benefits, including everyone's families. I will have someone contact you regarding the specific details."
Zhang Chaohui and Bao Hua glanced at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and joy that didn't need to be hidden. Neither of them were born leaders, and having a group of people following them brought more pressure than satisfaction. After all, so many brothers who trusted them could potentially lose their lives due to one wrong judgment. But now, the appearance of Blood Cloak suddenly lightened the burden on them. Blood Cloak not only possessed formidable combat strength, but also held great prestige and remarkable insights. What was even more unexpected was that Blood Cloak seemed to have some sort of backing, as they were able to resolve everyone's treatment issues.
"Bao Hua, last night I saw you easily overpowering that big watchdog with just one hand. What is your physical attribute?"
The main issue has been resolved, Liu Xiao needs to understand the combat effectiveness of this team.
"Me? Power and Burst 50, Speed 20, Toughness 15," Bao Hua casually answered.
"So high?!" Liu Xiao's mouth twitched. This guy Bao Hua isn't even a Transmuter, yet his physical attributes are as high as 135! He's already at the initial level of the Traveler Realm stage.
""Power is boosted by eating something called Jiaozhi fruit, but it becomes ineffective after reaching level 50. Burst power is obtained from soaking in hot springs, also reaching level 50. Speed and toughness, on the other hand, rely on both exercise and central rewards," Bao Hua disclosed without reservation." I have translated the provided Chinese text into English while keeping all "@@" intact. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
“At which level is your physical strength compared to the whole team?” Liu Xiao pressed on.
"I would say it's at the top level among a small group. The number of highly competent individuals is also limited. Ever since our two groups started conflicting, the hot springs have always been in dispute. So, most of the people are unfamiliar or strong individuals, but weak individuals are rare, probably only a few girls." Bao Hua has a relatively good understanding of the situation within the team.
"And how about you guys?" Liu Xiao turned to ask Zhang Zhaohui.
"We are slightly weaker in physical intensity, but not by much," Zhang Zhaohui replied.
Liu Xiao nodded, it seemed that the combat strength of these over 800 people was even stronger than he had imagined. Translated: "And how about you guys?" Liu Xiao turned to ask Zhang Zhaohui. "We are slightly weaker in physical intensity, but not by much," Zhang Zhaohui replied. Liu Xiao nodded, it seemed that the combat strength of these over 800 people was even stronger than he had imagined.
“嘲风，创世会刚刚发布了一则消息，我同步给你。”百灵的声音在耳边响起，她很少因为一则消息打扰刘嚣，会这么做，说明这则消息不一般。
Liu Xiao signaled the two to wait for a moment and immediately checked the information sent by Bai Ling.
"In order to establish a true home for humanity, to challenge the vast starry domain, to ensure that the strong are given the respect they deserve, the Genesis Society invites all Earth humans, whether ordinary people or metamorphs, regardless of social class, to come. The Mother Continent eagerly awaits your arrival."
We have the Ancients who have fought at the origin for thousands of years,
"Every transformer still battling at the origin, come forth. Here lies knowledge and experience beyond your imagination. At the origin, the resources we can provide are beyond your wildest dreams."
"Come, every lost soul who wanders through life, Earth may not be able to restore psychic energy, but we can provide you with psychic crystals!"
"Every stranger, every mighty individual, come, those who have not achieved their true potential, on the mother continent, anything is possible. Only items crafted with origin materials can turn you into true champions!"
"Bring your families, they will enjoy a paradise-like life!"
"The strong need to associate with the strong!"
"The weak need the protection of the strong!"
In addition to this information, there is also a video showcasing the living environment on the mainland. Sunshine, beaches, seaside villas, people enjoying a carefree life without any worries. Ordinary individuals engage in respectable service industries while agriculture, industry, and manufacturing are handled by artificial intelligence. The video also features pyramid-shaped buildings and clearly shows humans who have undergone transformation, demonstrating various abilities and showcasing their combat power.
Finally, it's about to begin.
