Lin Wen's hunting work in Zhongzhou went very smoothly.

Since he already had a basic understanding of the enemy's situation, Lin Wen didn't need any reconnaissance or investigation. He wasn't afraid of not finding the target or accidentally killing innocent people.

He was alone, with a gun, and a motorcycle, galloping across the desert.

Every time he arrived at a location, he would get off the motorcycle, grab his gun, and start shooting.

Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Night Vision, X-ray Vision, Firearms Proficiency, these were all very basic skills with extremely low consumption. Some of the spells were not even used up and could be stored, it was like getting them for free.

Coupled with the ability to sense danger with "No colorful phoenix in body", Lin Wen was like a legendary king of soldiers, charging through as if in a deserted place, leaving the bodies of corrupt officials, bandits, and private soldiers scattered everywhere.

In less than a week, Lin Wen uprooted all the tumors lurking in various places in Zhongzhou, clearing the obstacles on the road to hope for the refugees.

More than 80% of the refugees came from Zezhou, and they crossed into Qingcheng through seven main routes. After clearing the parasites and bandits on these seven routes, Lin Wen sent Fang Dashan to lead the army to patrol these routes to ensure the safety of the journey and provide necessary assistance to the refugees along the way.

After that, Lin Wen sent people to spread the news on a large scale at the border between Zhongzhou and Zezhou, calling on and guiding the refugees to go to Qingcheng.

This move played an important role because many of the refugees who escaped from Zezhou did not know the news from the outside world.

To avoid the war, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests, living on tree roots and wild grass, suffering from the invasion of fierce beasts and poisonous insects. They didn't know how many people had died from tiger bites and snake kisses, and their bodies were left in desolate places.

The messengers sent by Lin Wen let them know about the current situation of the war.

When they learned that the enemy forces in Zhongzhou were besieged and the distant Qingcheng had an area government willing to shelter refugees, the feeling of light breaking through the darkness and dispelling the haze was hard for those who had not experienced it to understand.

As a result, a large number of refugees traveled from various mountains and wilderness to Qingcheng.

The officials in Zhongzhou really couldn't understand the behavior of Changshan County.

What was the point of sheltering so many refugees?

Aren't they afraid of being criticized and attacked on their own territory? Do they think the pressure is not enough, or that there is too much money and food and they should share some with us?

There are really people who come with such thoughts to provoke Lin Wen. In the face of these people, Lin Wen could only fully display his hospitality and ask them to go to the immortal realm to have fun.

Of course, he was only responsible for sending them on their way, whether they arrived or not depended on their own destiny.

In less than a week, Lin Wen had killed all the officials, big and small, in Zhongzhou.

And the Governor of Zhongzhou, Wang Bo'an, directly refused all communication on the grounds of military urgency.

The signal released was very clear: I don't care.

The officials who had been killed had to gather together to discuss countermeasures.

Because Lin Wen had killed too many people, he had enemies everywhere. This time, there were a particularly large number of people who came to the anti-Lin Wen meeting. They even openly hung a banner at the meeting:

The heavens cannot tolerate it! The demon king Lin Wen must pay for his blood debt!

A leader at the meeting shouted, "The demon Lin Wen, killing the innocent, framing the loyal, committing evil, acting wantonly, this person must die, the heavens cannot tolerate it!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "The heavens cannot tolerate it!"

The leader continued to shout, "Give me justice! Blood debt must be repaid! Kill Lin Wen!"

"Kill Lin Wen!"

After shouting for a while and seeing that the atmosphere was about right, the leader took out a large box and called on everyone to donate money to hire a top mercenary group to kill Lin Wen.

As soon as money was mentioned, more than half of the people at the meeting suddenly disappeared.

The leader cursed them for being cowards while urging the remaining people to take out all their money.

After a hard time, they raised more than sixty million. The leader took one million as a hard fee and used the remaining fifty million to hire the notorious Sano Mercenary Group from abroad.

But when Sano heard that they were going to kill Lin Wen, they immediately turned them down.

The leader had no choice but to seek help from the Council, but the situation of the Council was not good at the moment, and they also refused to help them in the stinking pit of Changshan County.

After many twists and turns, due to the great commotion, the KGB's special agents found out about it, and Qin Luoshuang immediately informed Lin Wen.

When Lin Wen heard that someone was willing to spend fifty million to kill him, where else could he find such a good thing?

He immediately had a group of KGB special agents tie him up and took him to the leader's mansion, demanding payment and delivery.

The man was overjoyed to see that he had actually captured Lin Wen alive and foolishly paid the money.

As soon as the money was received, he was in trouble. The restraints on Lin Wen were useless. Although he temporarily did not have any violent spells like "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers", with just "Spirit Cat's Agility", it was impossible to bind him.

Then the flashbang went off, and all the bodyguards he had hired at a high price were blinded, but the special agents, who had already put on tactical goggles, were not affected at all.

Lin Wen pounced and grabbed his exclusive magic weapon, the Tiger-160 Special Combat Assault Rifle. The 7.62mm bullets poured down on the enemy like a torrential rain.

In total, this provided Lin Wen with 97 points of good fortune and about one billion worth of goods. This guy was a deeply hidden big drug lord and human trafficker, and his whole family was involved in such activities.

In the dungeon of the mansion, Lin Wen found more than 20 tons of high-concentration new drugs and over 100 children under the age of 10.

Their parents were all refugees who had suffered a tragic fate.

Lin Wen had the special agents take them to the recovery center in Changshan County, and then set the mansion on fire.

After this incident, Lin Wen's ruthless image of burning houses and exterminating people spread widely in Zhongzhou.

The Governor shut himself in, and no one could control him.

The bureaucrats suddenly realized that they were so fragile in the face of real violence. When their efforts to maintain their order and system were ineffective, they were no different from a tiny bug.After this, the bureaucrats no longer dared to overstep their bounds, dutifully and honestly carrying out their work.

Thus, all of a sudden, Zhongzhou became a picture of tranquility, with clear and unobstructed governance, discipline, and efficiency. Frontline supplies were delivered promptly and swiftly, and even many scarce resources were brought out from their own warehouses.

Wang Bo'an inexplicably found that battles were much easier to fight, with ample guns, food, medicine, and no issues of shortages or spoilage. Even the improved public order allowed for more troops to be dispatched to the frontlines.

Lin Wen, on the other hand, gained more refugees.

After the news spread far and wide, refugees from all directions flocked in, with the largest influx doubling the size of the Qingcheng refugee camp in a single day.

Since the third phase, the rate at which Changshan County received refugees had also surged.

This was thanks to a new method thought up by Yang Shaohu.

Traditionally, refugees could only travel to Changshan County via a single highway, which was not only a long journey but also frequently caused traffic congestion.

This novel is available on "pawread.com".

To the west of Hangu Pass, there was a small path that could cross the Taixu Mountain Range and lead directly to Changshan County, even conveniently close to the mountain complex.

This path was once an escape route for the Min Party, but now, Yang Shaohu planned to transform it into a rescue route for refugees.

He collaborated with Chen Xingtai to clear all the trees and thorns along this path, widening it from a narrow trail that only allowed one or two people to pass, into a broad road that could accommodate dozens side by side.

With the addition of this new route, the efficiency of refugee reception in Changshan County greatly increased, reaching a peak of over 500,000 people in a single day.

Thanks to the efforts of the Refugee Management Committee, the organized refugees fully utilized their initiative, coming up with various methods to clear the rubble, and in a short period of time, they cleared two-thirds of the mountain complex.

The remaining third was undergoing an intense battle.

Under Yang Shaohu's tireless design and arrangement, twenty buildings housed nearly three million refugees.

The population density had reached unimaginable levels, and despite the water and electricity departments' best efforts, issues still frequently arose. The transportation of food and other supplies also became a major problem.

The root cause was the mountain complex, which was inconvenient to access from the side facing the mountains, making it difficult to expand the construction site.

Yang Shaohu was in consultation with Zhao Minggong, preparing to dispatch a portion of the labor force to carve through the mountain and solve this problem.

Overall, the basic needs of nearly three million refugees in these twenty buildings, these twenty small ecological societies, were guaranteed—food, water, and medical care were basically sufficient.

And through this large-scale refugee resettlement, the grassroots officials of Changshan County and the cadres of the Refugee Management Committee were all trained, mastering the methods of mobilizing and organizing civilians.

In short, everything was moving in a positive direction.

Currently, the total number of refugees in Changshan County had exceeded six million.

In the central region, a million tents stretched from the east to the west of the great pit, with no end in sight.

In the south, a building with a usable area of 150,000 square meters was carrying the hopes of countless refugees.

In Qingcheng, another million refugees were waiting to be received by Changshan County.

In Zhongzhou, countless refugees from all directions were still pouring in, heading towards this sole beacon of light in the darkness.

A week had passed, and it was time for the tally of good deeds.

Peaceful Livelihood +4551

Prosperity and Strength +234

Justice and Law +80

Equality and Freedom +75

Happiness +40

Democracy +0

Civilization +25

Total: 5005

Yuan Shen +45.13%

The moment he received the good karma, a tremendous surge of warmth shot straight from three inches below his navel into his brain.

Lin Wen had never felt so exhilarated, and although he had seen larger numbers before, this was free good karma, and it was a weekly occurrence.

Good karma roared in on its own, smacking him right in the face.

There was nothing more wonderful than this.

If every day were filled with such good fortune, he felt he could endure the physical world.

Moreover, good karma wasn't even the most explosive part.

The most explosive was his Yuan Shen.

This week, he had dedicated all his enhancements to "Halfway Cultivation," and had recruited refugees with all his might.

Indeed, hard work pays off.

His Yuan Shen experienced a super explosion.

This week's growth in Yuan Shen surpassed all his past efforts.

According to his theory, every million people could bring a maximum of 15% increase to the Yuan Shen limit, so six million people should result in a 90% increase in Yuan Shen.

This meant that for some time to come, he would continue to gain a lot of Yuan Shen limit.

Holy explosion!

Hahaha!

Lin Wen looked at the numbers:

[Good Karma: 61819][Bad Karma: 833][Yuan Shen: 189.24%]

Aside from the glaring bad karma, everything else was very good.

At this moment, his fifth divine ability also lit up.

With the influx of a large amount of good karma, the number above "Path of Compassion" changed to 13120/10000.

A droplet fell, and the number changed to 3120/10000.

Lin Wen glanced at the droplet, and it was "Phoenix's Cry" again!

Holy cow!

This was truly explosive!
