Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 180 - 150: The Shock Brought by the Spirit Fruit_1

Chapter 180: Chapter 150: The Shock Brought by the Spirit Fruit_1

After uploading and completing the report, Bai Yinghui immediately convened another high-level meeting of Yang City.

Many senior officials knew about the news from the Mutated Parrot about the forbidden zone yesterday.

So many were anxiously awaiting the news, wanting to know if the situation had been resolved and if the forbidden zone was really that dangerous.

Upon receiving the meeting notification, they all rushed over at the first opportunity.

Bai Yinghui, the commanding officer, and Liu Zaoxin, the mayor, took their seats on opposite sides, with others also sitting in their respective spots according to their military rank or office.

"This time, our venture into the forbidden zone has come to an end. Although it’s not perfect, the outcome isn’t bad either,"

"First, I’ll talk about the forbidden zone, which indeed matches the information provided by Dragon Hall."

"That place will Devour all living creatures, it can truly be called the forbidden zone of life. If the forbidden zone were to really expand to our Yang City, we would likely have no choice but to abandon the city."

Even though they had already obtained some information in advance, at this point the room still erupted in a wave of shocked murmurs.

Bai Yinghui immediately raised his hand to signal for silence before continuing to describe the various peculiarities of the forbidden zone and the methods to counteract the Power of Corrosion.

"That’s roughly the situation,"

After Bai Yinghui finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the head of the research department, "Can your department independently complete the modifications to the Thermostatic Shells?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The head of the research department, Cai Qidong, thought for a moment and then nodded, "We have had some previous technological reserves in this area, so we should be able to do it independently, although it might take a bit longer."

"How long do you estimate it will take?" Bai Yinghui asked.

"I estimate about a week," Cai Qidong answered truthfully.

"That won’t do, it’s too long," Bai Yinghui shook his head and said, "I can only give you three days at most."

Every day of delay would see a significant expansion of the forbidden zone. If the delay grew too long, it could become extremely difficult, even if we wanted to contain the expansion of the forbidden zone.

"This..." Cai Qidong looked somewhat troubled, then after thinking it through, he said, "If we get all of the chemical researchers from the research institute to come and assist, perhaps we can make it."

Bai Yinghui immediately looked towards Liu Zaoxin sitting next to him.

Liu Zaoxin did not delay either and nodded directly, "Okay, I’ll coordinate this matter. It shouldn’t be a problem."

"Good, then let’s agree on that. Comrade Cai, from now on I expect you to report the progress to me every day," Bai Yinghui said.

He needed to judge whether there would be any delays based on the progress reports, and if necessary, he would apply to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for technical assistance to ensure the smooth progress of this matter.

Cai Qidong nodded, feeling a tremendous pressure.

"Now, let’s discuss the second matter. Everyone, relax, this is good news," Bai Yinghui said, and gestured to a guard by his side.

Soon, Wang Feng, who was waiting outside, was brought in.

Although there are now more than 50 Superhumans in Yang City, and the attention given to ordinary superhumans has greatly decreased,

there’s no doubt that some are exceptions.

Such as Chen Dalong, who is among the top three ranked superhumans.

So as soon as Wang Feng entered, he was immediately recognized by the people present.

However, the gazes of those in the room were confused; although superhumans held a somewhat special status and identity, this kind of meeting was clearly beyond their qualification to attend.

Bai Yinghui cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention back, "This is Wang Feng. You all know him, so I won’t introduce him further. The second matter I mentioned is related to him."

"During our exploration of the forbidden zone, it was thanks to Wang Feng’s Fire Python Ability that we were able to test and determine that flames of 3000 degrees are needed to dissipate Corrosive Energy."

At this point, everyone thought that Wang Feng had made a meritorious achievement, and Bai Yinghui was going to reward him on the spot.

But then, Bai Yinghui changed the topic, saying, "During the test, Wang Feng had to halt halfway due to the insufficiency of his superhuman ability."

Now everyone was puzzled; was this a public criticism for incompetence? But it didn’t seem so. And moreover, it hardly seemed necessary.

After laying the groundwork, Bai Yinghui finally got to the point, "At that moment, the Mutated Parrot from Dragon Hall produced a fruit, calling it the ’Spirit Fruit’."

"Spirit Fruit?" The people mulled over the name, thinking deeply, already guessing what it might be.

And Liu Zaoxin directly asked, "By that name, could it be a fruit that contains Spiritual Energy?"

"Yes!" Bai Yinghui confirmed with a nod, "We all know that Spiritual Energy is the fundamental reason for animal evolution; the more Spiritual Energy absorbed, the faster the evolution."

"According to the Mutated Parrot’s description, consuming one Spirit Fruit can enable a First Order superhuman to break through two Minor Boundaries in a single day."

These words dropped like a heavyweight bomb among those present.

Some were so shocked they stood up and flipped their chairs, others shattered the teacups on their tables, but none of these reactions were of any concern at that moment.

They all stared at Bai Yinghui or Wang Feng, hoping to confirm from either of them whether this report was true.

Bai Yinghui did not continue speaking but instead waited briefly, allowing everyone to absorb the shocking news, and then he continued.

"I understand your shock. In fact, when I first learned of this news, the shock I felt was no less than any of yours," Bai Yinghui said.
