244: Chapter 244 Fishing Flying Vehicle

"Boss, the Soldiers patrolling the Yangtze River frontline discovered something strange during their battle with mutated cockroaches and mutated Ants," Yan Fangfang said after returning to her office and contacting Oriental Chen.

"Oh? What's strange?" Oriental Chen asked.

"According to the Soldiers, the bodies of the mutated insects that fell into the Yangtze River were attacked by a large number of fish. It is said that these fish are extremely aggressive and numerous," Yan Fangfang said.

Half a minute of silence.

"Alright, you go to Jingmen City," Oriental Chen said.

...

2 hours later.

Jingmen City, Changjing Bridge North Bank.

"Boss, it's right here," Yan Fangfang said through her Digital Eye.

"Drop the bait," Oriental Chen said.

"Okay!"

"Unit One, drop the bait!" Yan Fangfang took out her walkie-talkie and commanded.

As the command was given, a helicopter lowered its altitude and dropped an Odontomachus inermis ant, suspended by a chain, into the river.

"Gurgle~"

With the sound of splashing water, the Ants fell into the river, creating a large splash.

Soon, the Ants floated to the surface. Since this Ants was dead, it just floated quietly on the surface for the first ten-odd seconds, without any movement.

However, very quickly, the water surface began to churn, and countless small fish with sharp teeth began to surface, frantically devouring it.

Oriental Chen observed these fish up close through his Digital Eye.

These fish were not zombie fish, but mutated fish.

This meant that the current oceans might already be ruled by mutated fish.

This species, which was even more terrifying and aggressive than piranhas, either didn't exist, or if it did, it was the overlord of a body of water. There was no middle ground in this regard.

"I understand the situation now. Thank you for your hard work," Oriental Chen said.

"It's no hardship," Yan Fangfang said.

"That's all then," Oriental Chen said before closing the connection.

He paced back and forth, thinking for a while.

"Xiao Lin, do we have a way to develop fishing boats at the base?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Commander, are you planning to catch those mutated fish?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Exactly!" Oriental Chen said.

"The base can develop fishing boats, but it's not recommended," Xiao Lin replied.

"Why?" Oriental Chen asked.

"There might be large fish in the water, and the safety factor of fishing boats is relatively low," Xiao Lin replied.

"Then what do you suggest?" Oriental Chen asked.

"We can use anti-gravity engines to develop fishing airships," Xiao Lin replied.

"That's a good idea. Why not take it a step further and merge the rat feed production line with the fishing airship development project? Design a fishing aircraft that can simultaneously hunt and capture both land-based mutated insects and aquatic mutated fish, and directly complete the production of rat feed on the aircraft," Oriental Chen thought of a brilliant idea.

After all, rats were not raised as livestock; the purpose was simply to obtain crystalss. So, anything that could provide energy could be used as food. Whether it was clean or had side effects was not within his consideration.

Since that was the case, why not make good use of those mutated insects and mutated fish? They were all high in protein and very nutritious. If they were decomposed and processed into feed, the rats' food problem would be solved.

This way, it would eliminate insects and mutated fish, and also yield more crystalss. It was truly killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, after building the aircraft, he couldn't possibly go hunting these insects and fish himself. After accounting for daily wear and tear, how much money could he make selling feed?

His plan was to sell the aircraft directly.

The Military Region and Settlements could all be his customers.

The aircraft would be designed for completely Fool-style operation (idiot-proof operation) and fully automated feed production, which meant there was almost no technical barrier, and anyone could operate it.

Then, he would make the technology for raising rats public.

Perfect.

Weren't people lacking crystalss? With the aircraft, they could produce their own feed, and with feed, they could raise rats. The more feed, the more rats they could raise. And with rats, they would have crystalss.

Ultimately, wouldn't all these crystalss obediently return to Oriental Chen's own pocket?

With such a closed loop, more people would join the army of crystals production, and the development of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and Mercenary Guild could further accelerate, making the completion of the task just around the corner.

...

Northeast Military Region, Jichun Province, Yuanjiang City, Baishan Settlement.

August 5, 2055, night.

"Mayor E, bad news! A large number of zombies have appeared in the Southeast," a Security Guard reported.

"Southeast?" Mayor E asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes," the Security Guard replied.

"You didn't see wrong?" Mayor E still found it hard to believe.

The Baishan Settlement was located east of Yuanjiang City, and east of Yuanjiang City was the Yalu River.

Therefore, zombies could appear from the west or north, but it was impossible for them to appear from the Southeast.
