76: Chapter 76 The Abnormality of the Red Cult

“But then again, since the country needs him, I can help with the ideological work. However, he has a habit of bringing his sister wherever he goes. If you don't transfer his sister along with him, I'm afraid he won't go with you,” Zhang Yuankui added.

Hearing this, Duan Bing's brows relaxed.

So, that was the situation.

“Oh, right, how many Mutants do you need?” Zhang Yuankui asked seriously.

“What do you mean?” Duan Bing asked.

“Do you mind taking one more Mutant?” Zhang Yuankui asked with a smile.

“Are there other Mutants here?” Duan Bing asked in surprise. Sometimes he would visit several Settlements in a row and not see a single asymptomatic one. But here, they were asking if he minded taking an extra one.

“Let me tell you quietly, his sister is also a Mutant. And… she's exceptionally powerful!” Zhang Yuankui whispered.

Upon hearing this, Duan Bing excitedly clenched his fists.

Mayor Gong, who was beside him, was completely confused, feeling like it was his first time in Meilin.

“Is that true?” Duan Bing asked.

“Look at you, do you think I'd lie to you about this? You'll know if you try it later, won't you?” Zhang Yuankui took a sip of tea and said.

“If that's the case, then transferring both of them back to the Military Political Department is absolutely no problem,” Duan Bing said confidently.

“Alright, then it's settled. I'll call them in.” Zhang Yuankui stood up and went out.

A moment later, Shen Wengang walked in with Zhang Yuankui.

“Why is it you again?” Shen Wengang spoke first.

Although he had decided to go, he couldn't lose his momentum.

“Tian Gang, we were rude just now. We apologize to you here,” Duan Bing said, standing up.

“No need for apologies. I already said just now that it's impossible for me to go with you,” Shen Wengang said.

“Is it because of your sister?” Duan Bing thought he had grasped the core of the problem.

“That's right!” Shen Wengang replied after a moment of silence.

“That's easy. Both you and your sister can go together,” Duan Bing replied.

“Ah?” Shen Wengang feigned disbelief and looked at Zhang Yuankui, saying:

“Guild Leader, this is?”

“Tian Gang, since they've already agreed for you two to go together, I suggest you go. Going to the Capital is much better than staying here doing nothing,” Zhang Yuankui pretended to be doing ideological work.

“That's right,” Duan Bing echoed.

“Luoer, what do you say?” Shen Wengang asked.

“Wherever my brother goes, I go,” Luoer replied.

“Alright then,” Shen Wengang conceded.

“Good, this is great,” Duan Bing said happily.

After Duan Bing led everyone away, Mayor Gong asked:

“Guild Leader Celestial Fiend, what exactly is a Mutant? Why do those few people from the Military Political Department act like they've found some treasure?” Mayor Gong asked curiously.

“A Mutant is also a type of infected. It's just that they don't zombify after infection, which is very similar to asymptomatic infected. The difference is that Mutants get various physical enhancements, leading to increased bodily functions,” Zhang Yuankui explained.

“I see,” Mayor Gong seemed to understand, yet not fully.

This had nothing to do with him. As long as the Settlement didn't have problems, other matters didn't matter. After all, he couldn't manage them anyway.

“Xiao Lin, after Tian Gang and Qian Luo enter the Military Political Department, they will definitely undergo background checks. Please create a new identity for them and send them the information,” Oriental Chen said after everyone left.

“Understood, Commander,” Xiao Lin replied.

Another week passed in a flash.

The Enforcerss of the Red Coat Sect, who were being waited for, never appeared, and the Lark lurking in Huai Ling Settlement also stopped sending back useful intelligence.

Inside Niu Xingwang's office at Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

“Mr. Dongfang, it's been so long, why haven't the Red Coat Sect people arrived yet?” Niu Xingwang asked.

“Unclear. Currently, I haven't gathered any further intelligence here,” Oriental Chen replied.

“Do you think the previous intelligence was wrong, or did the Red Coat Sect people discover something and then didn't dare to come?” Niu Xingwang said.

“The previous intelligence should be correct, otherwise Mei Wenhua wouldn't have admitted it. If the Red Coat Sect canceled the operation, what could be the reason for them to cancel it? Is it related to Mei Wenhua's death?” Oriental Chen thought for a long time but found no answer.

“Can't figure it out for now, let's not worry about this. How are the preparations at the Mercenary Guild?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Everything is ready,” Niu Xingwang said.

“Alright, send people out to post announcements today. We'll open tomorrow,” Oriental Chen said.

“Good!” Niu Xingwang finished speaking and went out to get busy.

Oriental Chen opened the control panel through his Digital Eye.

Xiao Lin had already sent a message, the production bay was completed.

“Xiao Lin, next, start building the hanger bay. At the same time, the production bay will fully produce Worker Bee Robots,” Oriental Chen commanded.

“Understood, Commander.”

A Level 1 hanger bay can carry one ground-to-space spaceship. With a ground-to-space spaceship, material transfer between the Space Station and the ground can be achieved.

Currently, the total number of Worker Bee Robots is 100, and the current capacity limit of the Space Station is 500. With the production bay operating at full capacity, it will take approximately 1 week to produce all 400 Worker Bee Robots.

However, the construction speed of the hanger bay will no longer be the original 7 days. Because as the number of Worker Bee Robots increases, the construction speed of the hanger bay will continuously accelerate. Overall, it will take approximately four days, and it will get faster the further along it goes.

Once the hanger bay is completed, building the quantum communication bay will shorten the time to 1/5 of the original, completing it in less than two days.
