"Is that so? I did some research back then, but my focus was always on the physical aspect. However, it seems that mental training also has remarkable effects. Hmm, I haven't even come close to mastering it, yet I can vaguely sense it. I wonder if it's due to a unique method or if he possesses something extraordinary."
Hearing the anxious leader relay the information like a nervous chatterbox, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
In his memories, he had also explored some ancient Indian body training methods, but at that time, his sole focus was on enhancing his escape abilities.
Now, upon hearing the words of this half-informed fellow, Yang Xiaoyou felt a bit emotional. The wisdom accumulated over thousands of years by ancient people was indeed not something he could grasp in a short time just because of his unique talent.
Realizing that this group of fellows had been sticking around him solely because of the food he had brought made Yang Xiaoyou feel somewhat speechless.
He had already considered himself a foodie willing to go to great lengths for food, but he never thought he would sink to the level of robbery.
Seeing those frail individuals lying on the ground like thin twigs, Yang Xiaoyou felt a twinge of sympathy. As he prepared to strike, he controlled his strength; it looked as though he had sent them flying, but the force was dissipated mid-air. They could still wail, which meant they were unlikely to be seriously harmed.
In this situation, he wasn't about to deal any more blows to these already tragic fellows. He decided to keep them around; who knows when they might come in handy? As for any underhanded schemes?
In the face of absolute power, even if Heart had great dissatisfaction, they had to swallow it down. The leader's keen instincts served as the best restraint. While ordinary fellows might act foolishly out of ignorance, this leader perfectly met Yang Xiaoyou's needs.
"Clean up and bring along a few agile ones with me. In Kanpur, you know the area well. If you can help me find a few capable people for this task, I will let bygones be bygones and might even reward you. But if you fail... well, trust me, finding you and my partner will be easy." Yang Xiaoyou flashed a sunny smile that appeared eerily sinister in the eyes of the group.
"The food is mine; figure out how to get your own." Seeing the green-eyed stares directed at his vehicle, Yang Xiaoyou resembled a lion guarding its prey as he bared his teeth.
"Although the overall land is somewhat barren, Kanpur is still quite fertile, right? You used to manage to get your own food; how did things get so dire? Is there frequent fighting nearby?" After intimidating them for a while, Yang Xiaoyou pondered aloud.
The true chaos had only recently begun to erupt near Kanpur, an area that could hardly be called the most chaotic. Given the abundance of arable land, they should not have been reduced to such a miserable state relying solely on their leftover grain from previous harvests.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's question, the group of people who had just managed to suppress their green-eyed gazes now wore bitter expressions. Finally, a leader named Tarsen stepped forward and said, "There is indeed still some grain stored in the village. However, just a few days ago, some villagers suddenly fell ill with madness and began biting others. This aligns perfectly with the recent reports we've received. Our entire village is essentially down to just us few; the rest have been completely overrun by those monsters. If we don't act quickly, we might end up as their food."
Yang Xiaoyou had only asked casually; he wasn't genuinely concerned about their suffering. Yet he never expected that his inquiry would lead to such dire revelations.
The urgency that drove him to traverse thousands of miles to this place was partly due to the emergence of numerous Biochemical Weapons in the region.
Since he had avoided villages and towns along the way, he hadn't grasped the specific circumstances until now. Encountering this group of people revealed such alarming phenomena, causing his heart to sink.
If it were merely a coincidence, that would be one thing; but if it had truly become a widespread issue...
Thinking about India's population made Yang Xiaoyou's throat tighten.
He had initially believed he was taking this incident seriously enough, but upon arriving on-site, he realized his earlier estimates were grossly inadequate. He hadn't anticipated that things had deteriorated to such an extent. Even the villagers who had suffered seemed to have heard quite a bit about these incidents. Compared to other outbreak locations where countries would go all out to seal off areas, in India, it wasn't just a matter of capability; even if they could act, the British Army likely wouldn't be too concerned. To them, no matter how severe the crisis became here, it wouldn't affect their homeland.
Once the Shadow Virus began to spread uncontrollably, its snowballing transmission speed would be astonishing!
After rubbing his temples in frustration, Yang Xiaoyou murmured coldly, "It seems we need to hurry."
Kanpur was situated on the banks of India's Holy River Ganges, with fertile soil and serving as an important industrial center. To this day, it remained firmly under British Army control.
Compared to the chaos in other areas, this place at least appeared to still be in a 'peaceful' state on the surface. After hiding their weapons and vehicles outside the city, Yang Xiaoyou blended in with the local inhabitants and entered the city.
The British Soldier questioning them carefully examined whether anyone bore unusual wounds after hearing Tarsen's explanation before allowing them entry.
Through inquiries with a few local informants, it became clear that several villages nearby had recently experienced a biochemical incident. Initially, this led to Kanpur being locked down for a period of time. However, once it was discovered that there seemed to be little risk of airborne transmission, the city began accepting refugees.
On the surface, Kanpur appeared relatively normal, but the pedestrians seen on the streets mostly wore anxious expressions, hurrying along with heavy hearts and troubled minds.
"I believe you already have a basic understanding of me. Well, if you help me with my tasks, I won't treat you unfairly. I won't provide food directly, but in this city, these Pounds should still hold considerable value. This portion is essentially a deposit for your services. Once the person is found, each of you will receive ten times that amount. The first one to find them will get five times more than the others."
As the situation had exceeded his initial expectations, Yang Xiaoyou tossed a stack of Pounds onto the leader's table as soon as he entered the city. Simple intimidation alone was unlikely to motivate him to be proactive.
However, with sufficient incentives, it wouldn't be difficult to get them to work hard for him. As for money? Although Yang Xiaoyou usually appeared to be struggling financially, when he truly needed to mobilize funds, he had access to an astonishing amount.
