Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 142 - 129 City Wall Construction Plan_2

"What about the construction period? How long will it take?" Bai Yinghui also asked.

"To preliminarily construct the defense line and fend off most of the Mutated Insects, it would take about a month. As for a complete perfection of the defenses, to withstand creatures like the King Cobra and the Mutated Wolf King, I’m afraid it will take more than three months," Jian Yi explained.

"Good!" Bai Yinghui nodded and said, "I support this plan. Have the staff department flesh it out. Once we’ve eradicated all the Mutated Beings within the city, we’ll convene a joint meeting with all departments of Yang City."

"I believe that after this incident, even if they have to tighten their belts, they’ll be willing to allocate the funds needed to build this wall."

"Now let’s discuss how we can clear all Mutated Beings from the city in the shortest possible time."

...

As time went by, soon an hour, then two hours, and three hours passed.

By 9 a.m., one-fifth of the danger zones had been reclassified as safe, and the residents of these areas began to return.

At this rate, the entire Yang City could be clear of all Mutated Beings by 9 p.m. this evening.

This efficiency far exceeded that of other cities, even the first-tier Yunshang City next door couldn’t compare.

The results of this were profound.

Firstly, the residents of Yang City had much more confidence in the government and military, and they cooperated more fully with all arrangements.

Secondly, businesses within Yang City could resume their operations with peace of mind and rebuild the economy at the fastest speed possible.

Lastly, the effects were most significant in terms of attracting investment.

In the current environment, what is the most important thing for doing business?

Of course, it’s a safe and stable environment.

Therefore, even before this crisis is over, the investment promotion department of Yang City has already received news from more than a dozen top-ranked enterprises planning to invest and build factories here. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Especially Red Star Tech, which had been considering whether or not to cancel its investment in Yang City after the Mutated Crisis erupted.

But they have now reassessed the safety of Yang City and decided to change their plan from building a factory to establishing a branch, whose investment differed by more than ten times.

One is a contract manufacturer; the other is a large-scale company integrating production, learning, and research.

...

"Is this the power of the First Level Late-Stage Strength?" Chen Dalong clenched his fist. He estimated that a single punch of his could now deliver about 1500 pounds of force.

"If I had this strength when I first encountered the Mutated Wild Boar, I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed," Chen Dalong said with some emotion.

With his current constitution, even if he couldn’t win, escaping was no problem at all.

He walked out of the rest room in high spirits.

As soon as he unlocked the door, he saw Li Huosheng standing at the entrance, smiling broadly.

Upon seeing Chen Dalong emerge, he couldn’t wait to say, "Boss, more business has come knocking."

"Didn’t I say? We’ve already taken the deal from Red Star Tech. This time we need to handle it personally. I estimate we won’t have any free time during this period; push away all other business," Chen Dalong said with a frown.

It hadn’t been long since the crisis was resolved when he received a call from Sha Weiping, a representative of Red Star Tech.

The latter indicated that the company would increase its investment in the construction of Yang City, and in the following month, the frequency of shipments might be twice the initially agreed amount.

Of course, the payment they offered would also increase from the original 100 million to 300 million.

Logically, if the workload was double what it had been, the price would at most double to two billion.

The very high premium they were willing to offer was entirely due to the value they placed on him as the Strongest Superpowered Being.

Faced with such a huge piece of cake, how could Chen Dalong refuse? He promised hurriedly that he would put all his energy into it.

That’s why he planned to revise his schedule, taking no other tasks for at least the next month, dedicating himself entirely to the work for Red Star Tech.

"Boss, I understand about Red Star Tech, but doesn’t their operation start tomorrow? The one that has approached us now is Heavenly Rainbow Company from our Yang City."

"Their company is still in the danger zone. They want to hire us to clear out the Mutated Beings in their company ahead of time. I’ve estimated it will take an hour or two at most, but they’re willing to pay two million," Li Huosheng said.

Chen Dalong was somewhat surprised, "This business can indeed be taken, but why can’t they even wait this little bit of time? Could it be a scam?"

Li Huosheng quickly explained, "No, I’ve checked. This Tianhong Company is in the food business. Their technical staff can see through the remote monitoring equipment that large numbers of mutated cockroaches are following the ventilation ducts, trying to crawl into the warehouse."

"If the raw materials in their warehouse are ruined by the mutated cockroaches, the loss would be tens of millions, so they hurriedly sought us out."

At this point, Li Huosheng sighed, "In the past, this kind of good business would definitely have been monopolized by Xin Dun, Cheetah, and Yan Huang, those three security companies. It’s all thanks to the boss’s might."

Hearing this, Chen Dalong’s heart swelled with pride, and with a grand gesture, he gave the order, "Alright, then you go and gather the brothers. We’ll set off in ten minutes."

On this day, everyone was busy.

Ye Feng was no exception, as he constantly infused his subordinate contracted animals with spiritual energy.

He wanted them to take advantage of the opportunity of the spiritual energy resurgence to break through as quickly as possible.

Because Ye Feng had also noticed that during the resurgence of spiritual energy, the fluctuations of the spiritual energy could be extremely violent. Such moments were the best times to break through bottlenecks.

In the blink of an eye, the day had passed.

When night fell, many people let out a long sigh of relief.

Because the resurgence of spiritual energy had finally stopped.

The thing that people were most worried about— the widespread appearance of Third Order mutated beings—had not happened.

But not many people were happy, because during this resurgence of spiritual energy, more than 70% of the mutated insects had broken through to the Second Order.

Even among the large animals, more than 50% had undergone mutations.

But what about humans?

In the entire Yang City, including Chen Dalong, there were only 53 superhumans.

Keep in mind, this is a large city with a population of over 5 million!

In other words, the proportion of humans who could become evolutionists was only one in a hundred thousand.

This ratio was shockingly low.

Even on the internet, there was a lot of pessimistic commentary, because anyone could see it.

As time went on, with the continuous resurgence of spiritual energy, the gap between humans and other mutated animals was likely to grow wider and wider.

Of course, each person has their own joys and sorrows, which do not overlap. At least at this moment, Chen Dalong was very excited.

Because he had broken through again, from the Late Stage First Order to the First Order Peak. Now, when he punched, he could exert a force of 2000 pounds.

This was a tremendous force.

He felt that, not to mention dealing with a First Order superhuman, even if he were to strike a Second Order superhuman, his punch would leave the opponent either dead or crippled.

"Ah, what a pity I don’t have enough Contribution Points," he smacked his lips. If he could have broken through to the Second Order in one go, that would have been perfect.

"No, I have to find Captain Zhang Ji and urge him to speed up my promotion to Second Lieutenant as soon as possible, and also check if the military has any new missions," he thought.

"The higher my rank, the quicker and more perfectly I can carry out the orders when the Dragon Lord issues them next time," Chen Dalong encouraged himself and swiftly left his home, driving towards the City Guard Department.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Feng, who was in Sunset Valley, after infusing the last Big Yellow Bee with spiritual energy and seeing it enter the breakthrough state, couldn’t help but heave a long sigh of relief.

"Busy all day, but finally it’s done!"

He had spent almost the entire day enhancing his contracted animals’ subordinates.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he had elevated all the First Order animals to the Second Order. His power’s overall strength had increased by at least three times.

Now, he finally had the capital to negotiate with humans.
