However, the winter in Beijing is not as cold as that in Changbai Mountain, so it is completely possible to carry out the cleanup work. The burned areas need to be cleaned up, the site needs to be prepared, and the reconstruction will start in the spring. The damage to the restaurant building is relatively minor, so it only needs to be renovated.

Liu Xialian arranged for Zhao Hua and Zhao Yong to prepare to set off again and return to the capital. This time was different from the last time, as everyone went.

Xu Shiba used to run Northeastern iron pot stew, Linyi fried chicken, and Sichuan hot pot. Li Damei, Xu Xiong, Li Hu, Zhao Daxi, and others all went there. The era of fighting alone is over, and now we need to cooperate and win together.

Liu Xia Lian, Zhao Hua, Zhao Yong, Dian Yan, Li Daniu and others came to the horse farm that had been burned down to ruins, and everyone felt a little emotional.

Zhao Yong said helplessly: "What a good horse farm, it's gone without any compensation, and we have to pay for the repairs ourselves."

As everyone was watching, they saw Village Chief Shi and a few others coming over. They shouted enthusiastically from a distance, "Boss Zhao, we missed you so much."

A group of people were smoking and puffing out clouds of smoke.

Zhao Hua looked up and down at Village Chief Shi and said with a smile, "Old Shi has gained weight. How come he is even fatter?"

"Don't laugh at me. I rely on you to survive. This place is too remote and too far from the city. If your horse farm closes, no one will come."

"What are you talking about? How could it collapse? It just caught fire. We will rebuild it immediately. The workers will come in to clean up tomorrow. But we are here with some other industries. We need to rent some factories in your village. Not many. Just three to five hundred people will be enough."

"No problem, no problem. I'll definitely give you the best price. What do you do?"

"I have a friend in my hometown, one who makes down jackets, and one who makes small home appliances. Both are small factories. There aren't many people, and they mainly run warehouses."

Village Chief Shi took a puff of his cigarette and asked with concern: "It's easy to rebuild the horse farm after it's destroyed. It can be completed in a few months once the money is in place. But it's not easy to buy horses. I heard that the Arabian horse is a national treasure."

Zhao Yong patted the village chief Shi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Shi, don't worry. We are a great country in Northeast China. If you dare to drive a big cart in the village, you will suddenly see a red rabbit horse pulling a cart or a black horse plowing the field. Don't worry."

Zhao Hua rented a temporary office in the village and put up a billboard at the door, promising that the horse farm would officially open for business in May next year and that membership cards would be extended for one year. Members who did not wish to use their cards could come and return them.

But few people came to return their cards. Most of them came to get close to Zhao Hua. This was too shocking. There were no secrets in the circle. They fought against the Long family and shot the big young master Long. Old Master Long was so angry that he died because of this.

The big hotel of Jilin Provincial Guild Hall is still under construction. It is the only hotel managed by Zhao Hua. It is expected to be completed in the second half of next year. It has a construction area of ​​nearly 5,000 square meters. A lot of money has been spent on it. It is luxuriously decorated and has an elevator inside, so it can accommodate foreign guests.

That evening, there was something going on in the bureau, so Liu Xia Lian took Li Daniu and Dian Yan with her.

I finally met my busy Uncle Seventh. Although he was still wearing the Taoist robe, he looked much more haggard.

There were not many people here today. Ninety percent of the colleagues were part-timers, working in various fields. Usually, there were only a dozen people. Only Taoist Master Lei Huolei and Uncle Qi were sitting in the office.

"Uncle Qi, I haven't seen you for a few years. How come you have aged so much? Aren't people who practice Taoism supposed to age slowly?"

Uncle Qi coughed and said, "Yes, people age quickly when they reach middle age. Everyone knows that you have beauty pills. Give me a few to try."

Liu Xia Lian put the gift box on the table. There were four pills inside, emitting a rich aroma.

"What is this? It smells nice."

"The black hair pill is made from hundreds of years old ginseng, decades old Polygonum multiflorum, purple Ganoderma lucidum, etc. It has a very good effect on black hair."

Uncle Qi was studying them, Lei Huo picked them up and ate two of them: "They taste good, almost like candy beans."

Uncle Qi was so scared that he quickly took the remaining two and hid them: "Don't worry about getting angry, just swallow two in one gulp."

Leihuo pointed at his nose and said, "Have you forgotten my name? Leihuo, I just play with fire, am I afraid of getting angry?"

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "Don't worry, my uncle made it. It usually doesn't cause internal heat. Normally, a person in his 50s can eat two pills and their hair will turn black in a few days. In Hong Kong, this pill is sold for 10,000 yuan per pill, and most people can't even buy it."

Lei Huo spread his hands and said, "That's it. If you had told me earlier, I would have kept it and sold it for money."

Uncle Qi took a sip of tea and looked up at Liu Xialian: "Next time, if you have anything to do, tell her in advance. The Beijing circle has its own rules. Don't fight unless it's absolutely necessary."

"That's for sure, but these guys are really perverted. If I don't kill them, I won't be able to survive here."

"Alright, I don't want to bother with these mundane matters. I called you here today for something important. The Lop Nur Salt Mine Base was attacked by unknown creatures, and hundreds of people died overnight. The large army has tried to clear it out several times but returned without success. I hope you can find the real culprit."

After listening to the task assigned by Uncle Seventh, Liu Xia Lian felt her scalp tingling. Isn't it nonsense to ask her to deal with a monster that could kill hundreds of people overnight?

"Uncle Qi, can we not go?"

"No, you took care of the baby in the past few years. Now the baby is grown up. Don't shirk your responsibility. The bureau has its own difficulties."

"Okay then. Let Leihuo bring a battalion of heavy firepower and rush over to provide support when needed."

"Okay, go back and get ready. We'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll still go with seven people."

Liu Xia Lian returned to the courtyard house in Beihai Hutong. The huge yard seemed empty, so Zhao Hua arranged for people to clean it up.

"Xia Lian, what's the matter?"

"Well, we're going to Lop Nur tomorrow. Me, Li Daniu, Dian Yan, Zhao Yong, Liu Fuliang, Zhao Tong, and Guo Hong."

"Da Ya and Er Ya are at home taking care of the kids, so this lineup is a little bit off, but this is all we can do."

"Newcomers must be trained."

Liu Fuliang is the son of Liu Xialian's third uncle. After returning from military service, he came to the Northeast to join Liu Xialian. He is a good shooter, has excellent physical fitness, and has potential.

Zhao Tong is from Lingshou, a man of great integrity, a master of traditional martial arts with a spear, and can also use a light machine gun. Guo Hong is the son of Principal Guo of Baishan Martial Arts School, a traditional martial arts expert, who started learning martial arts at the age of six. Now he is Liu Xialian's third apprentice.

There were seven people in the group. Liu Xia Lian brought the Saker Falcon, but she didn't bring the hunting dog and lynx. They were in their hometown in Northeast China and didn't expect to have a sudden mission.

The next morning, we flew for several hours on a military plane, made a turnaround in the middle, and when we stopped again, we had already arrived at the Gobi Desert. All we could see was sand and rocks. It was so desolate that we could even count the grass among the rocks. The weather was dry and cold.

When they arrived at the place, Taoist Master Leihuo separated and went to the military camp.

Liu Xia Lian and seven others were equipped with two drivers, two military pickup trucks, seven Type 81 rifles, and a double-barreled anti-aircraft heavy machine gun on the truck.
