Chapter 885 887 The Place of Death
"General Rong, don't worry, I will never tell anyone nonsense. Could you take me with you?" Deng Tianming seemed not to feel the tense atmosphere at the scene and continued to speak calmly.
"Haha!" Rong Xianxian gave a fake laugh. "We don't want to bother you with our team's internal affairs, but I'll inconvenience you to stay here for three to five days. Once we finalize the list of the advance team, we'll let you two leave."
After Rong Xianxian finished speaking, Ning Qingyun waved his hand, and the men in black stepped forward to hold down Yan Hexin and Deng Tianming, wanting to drag them out.
"General Rong, I have sent the message to the chief of staff. When you were carrying out the Gushizhai mission, you were able to safely bring thousands of people out of the strange domain. The military had some speculations about your special abilities. If you really do not shy away from transporting thousands of people to the new city area this time, this speculation will be confirmed. At that time, you may have to make another trip to the strange domain." Deng Tianming spoke earnestly.
The soul jades that can be used to make beast soul armor, forbidden soul formations, mechanical armor, and starry sky spaceships have long been out of stock. Various people have tried their best, but have been unable to survive from the strange domain. The return of Rong Xianxian has given many people a glimmer of hope.
"Strange Domain? Is it the former Gushizhai area? Ha, I was going to go there too. You guys entertain the two guests." The soul jades on her body were almost used up. The two children would need to use soul jades for the next step of their cultivation. What's more, the fairy world was eyeing this world covetously. After so many invasions, there must be many fish that slipped through the net. Soul jades, a strategic resource that affects the overall combat effectiveness of mankind, must not fall into their hands.
"Yes, ma'am, don't worry!" Yan Hexin and Deng Tianming were taken out.
"Xianxian, the danger level in the Strange Domain is very high now. No one has been able to come out alive since three years ago. It is known as a place of death." Ning Qingyun was checking the news about the Strange Domain.
"That place is indeed very dangerous. It feels a bit like the birthplace of the Fire Spirit, but the area is larger and more evil. The Fire Spirit is born and raised by the earth, and has just begun to develop intelligence. It has no ill will towards all living things. The formation of the soul tomb is due to the natural properties of the soul-attached stone. And there, that black water lake, I always feel that there is an evil will there, and the black fog is very aggressive." Rong Xianxian recalled the black water lake and couldn't help frowning.
When she went there on a mission, she realized that the Black Water Lake was the source of the black fog. She used thermal weapons of mass destruction to try to destroy the Black Water Lake, but found that it was useless. Moreover, she later received confirmation from the military that the spread of the black fog and the crisis in the Gushizhai area were caused by the military's use of thermal weapons to mine soul jade.
"Are you sure you can get there?"
"I have the Soul Devouring Blade, and you have the Fire Spirit. These two are the nemesis of soul objects. Besides, with our current level of cultivation, what danger can there be?"
"Indeed, when do you want to go?" Ning Qingyun asked her.
"After the first batch of builders are transported to the new city, I also want to take Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan to play in the secret place within the barrier." I haven't seen the children for a long time, and after coming back, I ran around non-stop. The two children are eagerly looking forward to fighting alongside them!
"Speaking of builders, we don't have enough people ourselves. We need at least 3,000 soldiers out of 5,000 to form a defense circle. In the early stages, we need to dig trenches and traps, build city walls, and build defense circles. The workload is huge. In the later stages, we need labor to build houses, open up farmland, and build factories. That area is vast, and if we want to build it, we'll have to build a city with a population of one million. In your opinion, how many more people should we recruit?" Ning Qingyun asked.
"Let's recruit 5,000 first. It will be hard to manage if there are too many people."
"The ten porridge stalls in the city have started accepting applications. We will select the young and strong ones from the applicants and bring them over." Ever since Rong Xianxian took over Jindu and learned that people in the city had starved to death, she opened porridge stalls. But the porridge is not free. It is exchanged for labor. A day's labor of a laborer can be exchanged for one to three days of meals depending on the amount of work completed. With these laborers, the buildings that were destroyed in the fighting in the city have been rebuilt, and these people will be out of work again next.
"We can take these 5,000 people, but we still need to think about where the subsequent population will come from. After all, settling down in Jindu is just a matter of rights and interests. Although the capital hasn't said anything, we can't really treat this place as our own territory." Ning Qingyun thought.
"In a few days, when Changqing has completed the integration, the administrative power will be returned to Yan Hexin. As for the subsequent population, let Changqing make a plan first!"
"Well, we'd better build the new city quickly. The spiritual energy in the secret territory where we landed is rich, while the spiritual energy in these densely populated cities is too thin." Ning Qingyun sighed.
"Yes! The spiritual energy in our world has just revived. In a short period of time, it is definitely not possible to reach the spiritual energy concentration of the fairy world. The spiritual energy concentration of the secret realm where we landed is even higher than that of the fairy world. I don't know how it was formed?" The existence of the secret realm was the main reason why they chose to build the city there.
Early the next morning, an unexpected guest arrived.
Rong Xianxian looked at the rows of large containers placed in the yard and asked, "What does this mean?"
"General Rong, I heard that you are planning to build a new city. This is a kind gift from Minister Yan. Please accept it. Time is short, so this is only a small part. There will be many more to be shipped to you in batches later." The people from the Ministry of Science and Technology opened the box, which contained various new weapons.
Before the people from the Ministry of Science and Technology left, representatives from other departments also sent people to deliver supplies.
Rong Xianxian looked at the various brand new construction vehicles in the yard and felt deeply moved. With these construction vehicles, the construction period of the outer city could be shortened a lot.
Faced with the goodwill shown by various departments in Jincheng, Rong Xianxian did not let them return empty-handed. She gave them many elixirs and spiritual rice in return, and sent a message to President Jing that she would go to the Strange Territory as soon as possible.
