125: Chapter 124 The Western European Alliance's Sincerity: Preparations for Wormhole Exploration!
Western European Alliance, Brussels, headquarters building.
The Chairman looked at the Dragon Kingdom's statement, his expression becoming grave.
"The Northern Border Federation has obtained a quota."
"Eagle Country has also obtained a quota."
"If we do not take action now, we will be left behind."
"Mr. Chairman, what is our offer..." the secretary asked tentatively.
"Reference Eagle Country's standard." The Chairman took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Two million tons of nuclear waste, forty heavy mechs, and mining rights to ten rare mineral deposits."
"Yes."
The secretary turned and left.
The Chairman stood up and walked to the window.
He knew the value of the Hollow Earth World better than anyone else.
If the Western European Alliance could not obtain a quota, it would fall completely behind in the competition of the Abyss Era.
This was absolutely unacceptable.
Dragon Kingdom, Capital City, military conference room.
After receiving the offer from the Western European Alliance, the high-ranking military officials all nodded involuntarily.
"Two million tons of nuclear waste, forty heavy mechs, and mining rights to ten rare mineral deposits."
"The Western European Alliance's movements are also very fast."
"This price is the same as Eagle Country's, do we agree?"
"Agreed, the Western European Alliance has always had a good relationship with us, and this price is very sincere."
"Then that is settled."
A few hours later, the Dragon Kingdom authorities issued another statement.
[Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dragon Kingdom Statement]
Through friendly consultation, the Dragon Kingdom and the Western European Alliance have reached a cooperation agreement.
The Western European Alliance will obtain the quota to enter the Hollow Earth World, as well as the qualification to cooperatively develop the Hollow Earth World.
Both sides will discuss the specific details of the cooperation in the future.
The statement was released.
The internet, which was already in shock, began to buzz with heated discussion again.
"That's three!"
"The Northern Border Federation, Eagle Country, and the Western European Alliance have all obtained quotas!"
"Other countries: We want them too!"
"Dragon Kingdom: Bring the money."
"Hahaha, the Dragon Kingdom has really made a fortune this time."
At the same time, other countries also offered bids to the Dragon Kingdom one after another.
But... their offers were far below the Dragon Kingdom's expectations.
Some were only willing to provide 500,000 tons of nuclear waste, some were only willing to provide five heavy mechs, and some even wanted to trade with food and oil.
The Dragon Kingdom's reply was simple: Not enough.
In the end, only three countries—the Northern Border Federation, Eagle Country, and the Western European Alliance—successfully obtained the quotas to enter the Hollow Earth World, as well as the qualifications to cooperatively develop the Hollow Earth World.
Other countries could only watch helplessly.
Dragon Kingdom, East Sea Defense Line. A large transport aircraft slowly landed on the tarmac. The cabin door opened. Luo Yu brought Su Zhiruo and Su Qingxue off the plane.
Godzilla lay on Luo Yu's shoulder, its vertical pupils scanning the surroundings.
"Hiss..." "Finally back." Luo Yu stretched.
"Yeah." Su Zhiruo smiled: "We've been out for so many days this time, it's quite tiring."
"Tired of what?" Su Qingxue glanced at her and said pointedly: "You didn't even fight."
"I..." Su Zhiruo was choked for words.
Indeed. This time going to the Hollow Earth World, except for being responsible for Space Teleportation, she was just watching the show the rest of the time. The only one who actually fought was Godzilla.
"Alright." Luo Yu interrupted them with a smile: "Let's go back to the dormitory to rest first, and start preparing to explore the wormhole tomorrow."
"Explore the wormhole?" Su Zhiruo's expression became grave, and she said: "Is it that urgent?"
"There is no other way, time is of the essence." Luo Yu showed a helpless expression and said: "Now that matters in the Hollow Earth World have temporarily come to an end, we must go and see the other side of the wormhole; that is Godzilla's true battlefield."
"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla flicked its tail, looking eager to try.
"Alright!!" Su Qingxue and Su Zhiruo both nodded, indicating they understood.
Thus, the three of them walked toward the dormitory area. On the way, many soldiers saw Luo Yu and saluted him one after another.
"Hello General Luo!" "General Luo, you've worked hard!"
Luo Yu returned the salutes one by one. Returning to the dormitory, Luo Yu lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
The trip to the Hollow Earth World this time had been quite rewarding. Godzilla's evolution progress had reached 94.1%, and it was only 5.9% away from the next evolution.
Moreover, the submission of the Ape Clan also gave the Dragon Kingdom a powerful ally in the Hollow Earth World.
No, the entire Hollow Earth World, in a sense, was already the Dragon Kingdom's.
Next... is the wormhole. There are stronger Abyssal Giant Beasts there. And more energy.
As long as Godzilla can devour enough Abyssal Giant Beasts, it can complete its next evolution. By then...
Luo Yu opened his eyes, and a curve appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously. By then, Godzilla would truly become an invincible existence.
The next morning. East Sea Defense Line, Command Center. Luo Yu stood in front of a huge holographic projection, watching the real-time monitoring data of the wormhole.
Over these days, unknowingly, the diameter of the wormhole had recovered to twelve kilometers; its depth could not be estimated, and the internal energy fluctuations were extremely intense.
"This is the current East Sea Wormhole." General Zhankuang walked to Luo Yu's side and said: "Since Ghidorah was killed last time, the wormhole has been in a relatively contracted state. Just after you entered the Hollow Earth World, the diameter of the wormhole began to increase again, and especially, detection equipment shows that the energy fluctuations deep in the wormhole are getting stronger and stronger."
"How strong?" Luo Yu asked curiously.
"Exceeding the Tier 6 standard." General Zhan Kuang pulled up the data and said in a serious tone: "And there is more than one."
"More than one?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow. "Yes." General Zhan Kuang nodded and said: "We have detected at least three energy signals exceeding the Tier 6 standard."
Luo Yu narrowed his eyes. Three Abyssal Giant Beasts above Tier 6? This is interesting.
"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla lay on Luo Yu's shoulder, its vertical pupils staring at the holographic projection, its tail flicking even more happily.
"Godzilla is very excited." General Zhan Kuang said with a smile: "It seems it cannot wait any longer."
"Indeed." Luo Yu rubbed Godzilla's head and asked: "General Zhankuang, when do you think I should go in?"
"The sooner the better." General Zhan Kuang said in a deep voice: "The wormhole's energy fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger, I am worried that it will lose control and allow even stronger Abyssal Giant Beasts to descend."
"Understood." Luo Yu said nonchalantly: "Then I will go in tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" General Zhan Kuang was stunned for a moment and said: "So fast?"
"Yes." Luo Yu said pointedly: "Godzilla cannot wait anymore."
"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla called out a few times, looking impatient.
"Alright!" General Zhan Kuang didn't say anything more. "By the way." Luo Yu suddenly remembered something, "How is it over in the Hollow Earth World?"
"Very stable." General Zhan Kuang said with a smile: "The chief of the Ape Clan has already sent a team to guard the Hollow Earth entrance. Without your permission, no one can enter. As for the Abyss remnants, the Ape Clan said they will handle it."
"Handle it?" Luo Yu showed an intrigued expression.
"Yes." General Zhan Kuang said in a tone that was slightly incredulous: "The chief of the Ape Clan said that since they have submitted to Godzilla, they must share the burden for Godzilla. The Abyss remnants are the cancer of the Hollow Earth World, and they will clean them up personally."
Hearing this, Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh. Heh, the chief of the Ape Clan is quite sensible.
"Then let them play it by ear." Luo Yu said with emphasis: "However, remind them that if they encounter Abyss remnants above Tier 6, do not fight hard, just contact me directly."
"Understood." After chatting for a while longer, Luo Yu left the command center. Returning to the dormitory, Su Zhiruo and Su Qingxue were already waiting for him.
