59: Force mission
On the horizon where heaven and earth met, Ferocious Beasts, like a steel tide, surged forward in massive numbers and myriad species.
Even from a distance, the ground trembled under their hooves, and rocks and dust rose and fell as if an earthquake had struck.
Above them, in the sky, dense swarms of Ferocious Beasts also appeared endlessly. Although the aura they emitted was far less powerful than Lu Yu's and the Firebird's, their sheer numbers were astonishing, stirring up countless chaotic air currents.
Wave after wave, seemingly endless!
“Is this Lu Yu’s full strength? Not only is he a Tier B Ferocious Beast himself, but the Ferocious Beasts under his command are also countless, exceeding all imagination in both quality and quantity!”
It was only at this moment that most people truly realized their own insignificance.
Let alone facing Lu Yu, even picking any random Ferocious Beast from the beast tide was something they couldn't handle.
Amidst their awe, their hearts were completely filled with despair.
With Lu Yu's immense strength and influence, even the combined might of China would likely struggle greatly.
“Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to hold much hostility towards us, and it’s also good that Mayor Li and the officials attach great importance to us…”
Many people now understood why the officials had given Jiangzhou City to the Ferocious Beasts.
If things truly escalated to an irreconcilable point, they would undoubtedly be the ones to suffer a tragic end!
In the face of Lu Yu's absolute power, they had no choice!
“We truly envy those Ferocious Beasts. When will we also possess strength comparable to theirs?”
“We can only hope that those scientific experts will develop more powerful Gene Serums as quickly as possible. Although it’s difficult, as long as we survive, the Gene Serum will surely be developed.”
Lu Yu’s appearance and actions this time were a huge blow to everyone, but they also ignited their inherent desire for power.
“With so many Ferocious Beasts entering Jiangzhou City, Jiangzhou City will likely become a living hell in the future…”
People in other places, watching the large-scale entry of Ferocious Beasts into the city via live broadcast, immediately turned pale, feeling that their future was bleak.
After all, although Lu Yu was powerful, he was at most a Ferocious Beast.
The words of Ferocious Beasts are not always trustworthy, and even if his words were trustworthy, not all of the numerous Ferocious Beasts under his command would necessarily obey his orders.
Once they secretly defy him, those within the city would surely have no way to survive.
Thus, more people contacted their relatives in Jiangzhou City, hoping they would leave as soon as possible and not stay in that troubled place… At the same time.
Under the leadership of Li Chang’an, Lu Yu, who had shrunk his size, entered the bunker.
This bunker was dug one hundred meters underground. It was originally built to resist nuclear radiation, but due to the sudden appearance of Ferocious Beasts, it was urgently put into use and is currently the core hub of Jiangzhou City.
“Although this doomsday bunker is not very large, many high-ranking officials of Jiangzhou City work here, making various decisions that determine the future direction of Jiangzhou City.”
“Here, there is a monitoring room that can view all surveillance in Jiangzhou City, and satellite phones that can contact every organization and grassroots organization in Jiangzhou City…”
As they walked, Li Chang’an introduced Lu Yu to the situation in Jiangzhou City, as well as the role and function of each area.
Then, they would make changes based on Lu Yu’s opinions.
Lu Yu was quite satisfied with the layout and various functions here.
However, Ferocious Beasts are different from humans. He had already moved all the Ferocious Beasts into Jiangzhou City, but there was currently no place for them to rest.
“Which area of Jiangzhou City is relatively spacious and sparsely populated?” Lu Yu asked. This matter was currently a top priority.
After all, he needed to plan for the daily needs of these Ferocious Beasts to prevent any chaos.
Li Chang’an also clearly understood this point. He walked to a map of Jiangzhou City and said, “Most of the people in the rich district have already left. There are not-so-dense villas there, the environment is good, and there are not many people, so some Ferocious Beasts can be settled there.”
“In addition, the peripheral areas of Jiangzhou City are also sparsely populated places, where some Ferocious Beasts can be settled. This would be beneficial for both going out and guarding Jiangzhou City.”
“As for what the Ferocious Beasts need to eat daily, Mr. Lu can collect it and give it to me. I will arrange it immediately, trying to achieve self-sufficiency within Jiangzhou City. If Jiangzhou City is not enough, we can procure some from other places…”
Li Chang’an had already considered these issues before and continuously explained them to Lu Yu, asking for his opinion.
Lu Yu was quite satisfied with this: “Do as you say. Maintain order in Jiangzhou City. If you purchase from outside Jiangzhou, use the taxes within Jiangzhou City to offset the cost. We will not take advantage of you.”
After speaking, Lu Yu looked at the Firebird following behind him.
“Additionally, you will take some Ferocious Beasts out daily to patrol the territory and hunt some Ferocious Beasts. For now, stabilize the situation and proceed gradually.”
The Firebird nodded repeatedly. Jiangzhou City was vast and had many resources internally. It was best to thoroughly assimilate Jiangzhou City before further expanding their influence.
Otherwise, an unstable foundation could easily lead to chaos.
“Alright, the situation is largely settled. You all may go and attend to your respective duties.”
Lu Yu waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
The Firebird and Li Chang’an immediately nodded, turned, and left, busily starting their tasks.
At this moment, Lu Yu also focused his attention on the system interface.
Just now, a new mission appeared in the system’s Faction Mall!
【The Beginning of Everything: To establish your own faction, you first need a stable and powerful foundation!】
【Mission Objective: Using the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array provided by the system as the foundation, establish an array that covers Jiangzhou City. The array can draw in Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, resist external enemy invasion, and can be used for both offense and defense.】
【Mission Reward: Upon completing this mission, the Faction Mall will unlock higher permissions and more advanced items, and you will receive 100,000 Faction Points, as well as one opportunity to evolve a random body part. The randomly evolved body part will be comparable to Tier A.】
After reading the system mission and rewards, Lu Yu’s eyes immediately lit up slightly.
The blueprint for the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array was already in his mind. Although extremely complex, a brief glance made him understand the power of this array. Even without any system rewards, he would still set it up.
After all, once this array was established, the vast Jiangzhou City would be like a huge spiritual pond, continuously receiving spiritual energy, which would be greatly beneficial for cultivation!
Moreover, some array nodes with exceptionally rich spiritual energy could also be used as medicinal fields to cultivate spiritual herbs.
The key was that this array could also be used to defend against enemies. Once established, even a Tier A monster would need some time to breach it!
Furthermore, this array could be directly upgraded and expanded later through Faction Points!
It could be said to be a permanent solution!
