Chapter 611
C611 – You Can’t Believe It
The young man was on the verge of tears.
He had believed himself to be the coolest guy from the capital, expecting everyone to fawn over him. But now…
He felt like it was all over!
[I don’t want to die!]
So many beautiful women are out there waiting for my rescue…
Sobbing ensued…
With no other option, the young man had to dial 911 himself.
Yet, emergency responders were already on-site.
When the call from the ambulance headquarters reached them, they arrived with stern faces.
“Come and lie down here!”
A doctor directed him to the stretcher with an icy demeanor.
“Sure thing!”
The once haughty young man, now too scared to make a peep, quickly got up and compliantly lay on the stretcher.
“Take off your shoes!”
“Alright, alright!”
But then, a cloud of green smoke wafted up.
“Damn! Just keep them on; they’re unbearably stinky!”
“Jesus! Don’t smoke!”
“Good lord! Is that a chemical weapon?”
The surrounding doctors pinched their noses at the stench. My goodness!
After years in medicine, I’ve encountered my fair share of foot odor, but this level of stench is unprecedented!
Embarrassed, the young man was carted away by the group.
Switching to Su Ming’s situation.
The helicopter had arrived, and all parties were in position, awaiting the command.
A deluge of water purification tablets cascaded into the reservoir, instantly restoring the water to its normal state.
“Haha, fantastic, this is truly excellent. Thank you, Mr. Su, thank you!”
“Mr. Su, on behalf of the Water Conservancy Bureau and the authorities, we are grateful!”
“Mr. Su, rest assured, I’ll go right away to request your reward!”
Director-general Zhang and others eagerly expressed their gratitude.
“There’s no need for thanks; I’m a fellow Eastsea resident.”
Su Ming smiled. “I live downtown. Just ask around when you arrive, and you’ll find I have more. Send someone to collect them, and remember to bring a large vehicle.”
“A large vehicle?!”
Director-general Zhang was momentarily taken aback.
But he didn’t dare question further; Mr. Su’s word was enough.
“Absolutely! You can count on me.”
Director-general Zhang nodded eagerly, and Su Ming departed with Xiao Ke’er.
Shortly after arriving home, a knock echoed from the door.
Su Ming opened it to a surprising sight.
Wow!
What a crowd!
Director-general Zhang was at the forefront, proudly holding a silk banner!
Eastsea Savior!
A throng of media reporters followed, and numerous onlookers gazed on with curiosity.
”Mr. Su, we owe you a debt of gratitude for your assistance. Without you, this crisis would have been a major ordeal,” Zhang expressed.
“On behalf of the government and our community, I extend our thanks to you, Mr. Su.”
“Furthermore, here is a certificate from the government. You are now a special expert with our Water Conservancy Bureau.”
“But rest assured, we won’t impose on your time under normal circumstances,” Director-general Zhang added hastily.
”Uh…”
Su Ming blinked, exchanged a glance with Xiao Ke’er, and then nodded. Official recognition was definitely a positive, especially since he was farming right in the city center.
Urban planning is a significant matter, and his farming activities had undoubtedly caught the attention of the authorities.
Yet, they had remained silent, probably due to other concerns or considerations.
Now that he had official approval, it seemed his urban farming might have received a nod from the officials.
This was indeed a good turn of events for him.
”By the way, Mr. Su, you mentioned you had something else…” Director-general Zhang said, rubbing his hands anxiously.
”Oh, I would have completely forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it,” Su Ming said, smacking his forehead and looking aside. “Didn’t I ask you to find a larger vehicle?”
Director-general Zhang turned around, puzzled, then saw a pickup truck. “Mr. Su, surely this pickup truck is large enough, right?”
“Hmm…”
Su Ming mulled it over for a few minutes. “Wait here, please.”
He then went back inside the villa and soon emerged carrying two large gourds. He had previously mentioned that these gourds were quite large, at least half as tall as a person. Su Ming, being over 1.8 meters tall himself, meant the gourds were over a meter in height.
Each gourd weighed close to 100 kilograms.
Su Ming was one of the few who could manage such a feat; ordinary people simply couldn’t lift them.
Director-general Zhang glanced over.
Hey!
I had assumed it was more significant, but these two gourds, though large, can easily fit into a pickup truck, right?
After Su Ming set them down,
He turned back and fetched two more.
Oh!
There were actually four of them. No issue for the pickup truck, then. Despite not being very thick, fitting four would still be a breeze.
But then, Su Ming brought out two more.
Yet another pair.
And two more…
Long story short, Su Ming ended up bringing out sixteen in total…
He kept four back at his place, just in case.
Director-general Zhang was dumbfounded.
Sixteen in all!
Each stood half as tall as a person and weighed over 100 pounds. Together, the sixteen weighed nearly a ton!
While the pickup truck could handle the weight, fitting a ton of cargo was no problem; the real issue was space.
“Quick, quick, quick! Get the truck!”
“Exactly, get the truck over here now!”
Director-general Zhang turned and barked orders, as his team scrambled about. Soon after, a truck arrived.
“Director-general Zhang!”
Just then, a desperate voice cut through the air, causing everyone to freeze and turn. They saw a young man in a hospital gown, leaning on crutches, his face pale, accompanied by another man holding an IV bag.
“What are you doing here?”
Director-general Zhang’s heart sank at the sight.
“Director-general Zhang, I traveled from the capital to assist you, and now I’ve been poisoned. You didn’t even visit me in the hospital…”
“I’m telling you, this isn’t over. I’ll report everything once I’m back in the capital!”
“What kind of nonsense is supposed to purify water? For all we know, it could contain hormones!”
“It could pose a severe threat to the entire city!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The young man yelled, then quickly turned to a journalist.
“Comrade journalist, you must get this story out.”
“The reservoir’s water is contaminated with heavy metals; it’s not something that can be cleansed by just anything.”
“This guy must have added some other hormone to the water to achieve such impressive results.”
“If it’s used by the general populace, it could have irreversible effects on their health.”
“These individuals will stop at nothing to maintain the illusion of peace. It’s all a self-directed farce. As a senior researcher from the Capital’s Institute, I stand for the nation and for science. You mustn’t take their word for it!”
The young man exclaimed, his voice breaking as tears and snot streamed down his face. The onlookers were frozen in shock. Could this actually be true?
