125: Chapter 125 Parliament Procures a Transmitter

Yan Zhengping briefly introduced the characteristics and dangers of Zombie Rats to everyone.

With zombies as a reference, everyone didn't need to spend time digesting the information.

"The Jiangning Resettlement Center in Jiangning City, Suyun Province, Southeast Military Region, just experienced a Zombie Rats attack yesterday. Overnight, casualties exceeded 70%, which can only be described as horrific," Zongzheng Yue confirmed the existence of Zombie Rats.

"It's worth noting that Zombie Rats are probably just the beginning. Other animal zombies may appear in the future, and we must take this seriously," Yan Zhengping said.

The crowd began to whisper.

The Speaker struck the gavel.

"Alright, Councilman Yan, tell us your solution," the Speaker said.

"It's still the person who gave us the information last time. He provided an Ultrasonic Emitter. The ultrasonic waves emitted by this transmitter can effectively drive away animal zombies, including rats and other zombies. We have already purchased a batch and deployed them in various Military Sub-districts," Yan Zhengping replied.

"Councilman Yan, what exactly is the identity of this mysterious person? Do you know?" asked He Jinghui, Director of the Security Department.

"Sorry, he notifies us of the location temporarily for each transaction. We have investigated for a long time and found no clues," Yan Zhengping replied.

He Jinghui said no more. If Yan Zhengping hadn't found anything, his Security Department hadn't either. If he pressed further, it would just be calling himself incompetent.

"It seems that besides the military, there are other forces within China that possess their own satellites. And they may have much more advanced technology than us," He Jinghui said indifferently.

"Alright, let's not discuss the mysterious person for now. Let's discuss how to deal with Zombie Rats," the Speaker said.

"Councilman Yan, are you sure that Ultrasonic Emitter is really useful?" asked Jing Cheng, Director of the Culture Department.

"It is indeed useful. We have already tested it on-site at the Jiangning Resettlement Center," Zongzheng Yue answered directly on behalf of Yan Zhengping.

Jing Cheng frowned and nodded, saying nothing more.

"I want to know, how are you trading for this equipment? What's the price?" asked Director Hu Qingying, Director of the Health Department.

"crystalss. 10,000 crystalss per unit," Yan Zhengping replied.

There was another commotion in the room.

"Clang, clang, clang." The Speaker gestured for everyone to quiet down.

"That's too expensive! 10,000 crystalss, who can gather enough?" said Yue Ming, Director of the Security Department.

They were not novices; they knew that one zombie only produced one crystals. 10,000 crystalss would require hunting at least 10,000 zombies, which was simply an Arabian Nights tale.

"Councilman Yan, how did you obtain so many crystalss?" asked Liu Feiying, Director of the Military Political Department.

"We have Combat Suits, which I will introduce to you later. As long as you wear a Combat Suit, you can avoid being scratched or bitten by zombies, and with heavy firepower, hunting zombies is not a problem," Yan Zhengping explained.

"Then thank you, Councilman Yan," Liu Feiying nodded.

"Your military has equipment, heavy firepower, and the conditions to obtain crystalss. But at present, almost no Settlement nationwide has such conditions. You should know that once Zombie Rats break out, the most severely damaged will be the various Settlements," said Director Hu Qingying, Director of the Health Department.

The implication was that the military could afford it, but the Citizens could not.

"Of course, this is also the purpose of my proposal to hold this meeting. Whether out of consideration for the safety of the Citizens or out of the most basic ethical principles, we cannot encourage or implicitly encourage Citizens to hunt zombies for crystalss without protection. But the danger of Zombie Rats is imminent, and the Jiangning Resettlement Center is a very obvious example. We must quickly install this Ultrasonic Emitter in every Settlement to protect the safety of the Citizens," Yan Zhengping said with righteous indignation.

"That's easy to say, but where will the crystalss come from?" asked Yue Ming, Director of the Security Department.

He knew how difficult it was to kill 10,000 zombies.

"I have discussed this matter privately with several Military Region Commanders. It's impossible for each Settlement to collect the crystalss, so it can only come from our council," Yan Zhengping said.

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush. Currently, only the military has this capability, so I propose that the crystalss be jointly borne by our five Military Regions!" said Shen Tu Zheng Hao of the Northwest Military Region.

Everyone thought the same, but no one wanted to be the first to speak out. However, Shen Tu Zheng Hao was not afraid.

"I agree!" Suo Tonghua declared.

"Since everyone agrees, I have no objection either," Zongzheng Yue said.

"I naturally have no objection," Yan Zhengping also replied.

"Since everyone agrees, then it's settled," the Speaker said.

After a series of consultations, it was finally agreed that 600 transmitters, totaling 6 million crystalss, would be distributed as follows: the Southeast Military Region, Northeast Military Region, Southwest Military Region, and Northwest Military Region would each bear 1.3 million, and the Central Military Region would bear the remaining 800,000. At the same time, to alleviate the pressure on the Central Military Region, Yan Zhengping additionally provided them with equipment support of 500 sets of Combat Suits.
