Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 160 - 140 Construction Starts on the Defensive Wall_2

Chapter 160: Chapter 140 Construction Starts on the Defensive Wall_2

You should know that a single automatic rifle requires 20 military merit points to exchange; for 200 rifles, that’s a total of 4,000 military merit points.

As for armored vehicles, naturally, they are even more terrifying. The standard price for one is 5,000 military merit points, so three of them cost 15,000 points.

These prices are such that security companies like ours can merely look on.

Even Chen Dalong couldn’t dare to think about it before.

Now that we have a weapons quota, although the weapons aren’t free, being able to purchase them with Huaxia currency is not an issue.

Just yesterday, he made three round trips between Yang City and Yunshang City in a single day, directly earning 10 million Huaxia currency.

Even after giving 2 million to Heiyao Security Company, he still had 7 million in hand.

And if nothing unexpected happens, he could maintain this income daily for the next month.

This instantly made Chen Dalong feel wealthy and powerful.

Soon, he led his Mad Dragon Security Company’s personnel in a mighty procession to the logistics department.

This time, before Chen Dalong even revealed his identity, the person in charge recognized him, warmly received him, and called the logistics manager, Xie Dan, to come over.

"Lieutenant Chen, if I am not mistaken, you are here to purchase weapons, right?" Xie Dan said with a smile.

"Haha, indeed, now that the weapons quota has been increased, we definitely need to strengthen the security company’s power," Chen Dalong replied, smiling broadly.

However, as Xie Dan started to tally his account, Chen Dalong’s smile gradually solidified.

A single field automatic rifle costs 30,000 Huaxia currency, so 200 rifles amount to a total of 6 million Huaxia currency.

In addition, one heavy machine gun costs 250,000, and three rocket launchers total 300,000.

That’s 6.55 million right there.

But the real expense is the armored vehicles: one costs a whopping 5 million Huaxia currency, so three of them come to 15 million.

"The total payment required is 21.55 million Huaxia currency. Of course, as an honored colonel, you enjoy a 20% discount on weapons and ammunition. Therefore, you only need to pay 17.24 million Huaxia currency," Xie Dan said, still smiling.

Chen Dalong opened his mouth, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a question, "Can I take out an IOU?"

...

Meanwhile, Ye Feng was busy with his own matters.

The negotiation went smoother than he expected.

When the Giant Panda, serving as the mascot, put its paw print on the contract, and the moment was broadcasted live to thousands of households, the alliance was officially formed.

Now, with Sunset Valley at the center, a large swath of nearby mountains and forests fell under his territory.

In light of this, Ye Feng didn’t intend to hide much any longer.

He gave a direct order to bring over the animals stored in Donglin Mountain Range to Sunset Valley.

The number of animals he had brought out from the zoo was too large, totaling nearly a thousand when all species were combined.

Just managing to keep them under control required a substantial number of subordinates.

And now, as he needed some of them to drive away the mutated beings around Small Phoenix Mountain and others to protect several mines, what had been an ample number of subordinates was starting to stretch thin.

Thus, bringing the zoo animals to Sunset Valley was imperative.

Following Ye Feng’s order to proceed with the drive, a long procession stretched from Donglin Mountain Range right into Sunset Valley.

Once these animals entered Sunset Valley, they were effectively within the range controlled by Ye Feng’s roots, and he had complete control over these mutated beings.

To say their life and death hinged on his single thought wasn’t an exaggeration.

Half an hour later, when the last Mutated Chimpanzee trying to escape was also driven into Sunset Valley, all of the mutated beings were within Ye Feng’s control.

After these mutated beings were brought to Sunset Valley, Ye Feng didn’t interfere much; he just simply divided the area into carnivorous and herbivorous zones.

He left the herbivorous zone to manage itself, while in the carnivorous zone, he sent the Mutated Rat King to tour inside Donglin Mountain Range and brought back 10,000 Mutated Mice, distributing them in this area.

This would be enough for those mutated beings to hunt and feed on for quite a long time.

After doing all this, Ye Feng glanced at the four large buffalo under the tree, estimating that in another 20 minutes, they would successfully break through to the Third Order.

They had all long since reached the peak of the Second Order, but previously Ye Feng urgently needed Spiritual Energy to break through, so he did not make Second Order Evolution Fruit for them to consume.

Now, Ye Feng could harvest 4,635 Spiritual Points in one hour; an unprecedented wealth. The Evolution Fruit that required 400 Spiritual Points to create was a mere trifle to him.

Not only the four Mutated Buffalo but also the Mutated Parrot and Mutated Hedgehog had both received Second-order Evolution Fruit and were beginning to evolve towards the Third Order.

After observing their breakthrough status and confirming there were no issues, Ye Feng once again produced a batch of Spirit Fruit.

Then he had the subordinates of the Mutated Sparrow act as couriers, delivering the fruit to the Mutated Animals at Small Phoenix Mountain, ensuring that they wouldn’t delay their own advancement due to work.

"Okay, I should also level up and break through to the Fifth Order as soon as possible," Ye Feng said to himself.

As Ye Feng began to level up,

the Mutated Beings in Sunset Valley discovered that the ground beneath the entire valley seemed to tremble slightly, giving them an inexplicable sense of fear and alarm.

Some Mutated Beings cowered on the ground, too frightened to move. Others frantically fled.

But as they reached the edge of the valley, they would see thick roots bursting from beneath the soil.

Before they could react, the roots lashed out at them, leaving the Mutated Beings skin split and flesh torn, wailing as they rushed back.

"Really, can’t you give me a break when I level up?" Ye Feng grumbled, at the same time, he slowed down the rate at which he was adding points.

This way, the growth of the roots would slow down a bit, at least not causing the whole valley to tremble anymore.

However, while he could control the speed of adding points, it was impossible to do so during a breakthrough.

It was already terrifying to break through at Fourth Order. He couldn’t help thinking about what terrifying scenes would occur when he reached the Fifth Order, the Sixth Order, or even higher levels in the future.

In the blink of an eye, 20 minutes had passed, and Ye Feng temporarily stopped adding points, turning his attention to the trees below.

At this moment, the four buffaloes, as well as the Mutated Parrot and Mutated Hedgehog, had all successively broken through to the Third Order.

"It’s about time to set out," Ye Feng muttered as he gathered his subordinates.

To accelerate the construction of the defense wall, the municipal government ordered the excavation of three mines simultaneously.

That meant he had to arrange three protective forces, and it was for this reason that he had let those Mutated Buffaloes break through.

They would be the main force.

For the first and second mines, Ye Feng planned to send two Mutated Buffaloes each, and then pair them with Mutated Black Crows and Mutated Bats to perform the defense work.

As for the last mine, the strongest Mutated Buffalo would be paired with two Mutated Sparrows for defense.

In this way, each mine would have three Third Order Mutated Creatures, along with a number of Mutated Bird Species for protection; there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

...

Red Rock Mine was a hive of activity with the mining operations in full swing.

Hundreds of excavators were at work, and thousands of people were assisting all around, as large chunks of rock were quickly mined and loaded onto trucks.

However, while working, the workers would subconsciously cast wary glances around them.

Especially, the intermittent gunshots and even explosions coming from the surrounding woods, made these workers’ nerves strain a bit tighter.

At this time, Zhang Ji stood halfway up the mountain, overlooking the entire site. Red Rock Mine was where his Sixth Team was responsible for defense.

Just then, his communicator buzzed, "Report, Commander, a large number of Mutated Insects have appeared at defense point three; reinforcements are needed."

"Received, hold the line, the support team will arrive within three minutes," Zhang Ji responded, then ordered his adjutant to issue commands.

He rubbed his forehead and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

This wasn’t the first time they had called for help; they had been here for over half an hour already.

In just over 40 minutes, the Sixth Team had already sustained over 100 injured.

It should be noted that the number of Mutated Insects near Red Rock Mine was nowhere near that inside the Donglin Mountain Range.

And they had come fully prepared, fighting a defensive battle, yet the casualty situation was still so severe.

Clearly, the level of danger in the wilderness far exceeded their prior estimates.
