Chapter 47
At daybreak, almost all the anchors who had fled to the mountains were caught. They were tied up and thrown into the open space, with people lying everywhere.
Su Su dusted off her hands and said, "That's why quality is more important than quantity. I thought these people were so amazing."
Lu Chenyuan glanced around: "Is everyone here?"
"The war beasts have searched the entire forest. There shouldn't be any fish that have escaped." Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Jiang Zihan was still shocked by the number of people in front of him. "Are there so many people in Area D?"
As a former High Tower employee, Lu Chenyuan had some idea of the number of people on the island. "Two years ago, during the massive aberration outbreak, this island was the only one under lockdown, so many people were sent to the island every day. It wasn't until last year, when the inhibitors became more effective, that the number of people sent to the island decreased significantly."
He gestured: "Excluding those known to have completely deteriorated, the remaining number is conservatively estimated to be this many."
Jiang Zihan couldn't help but stare in amazement. So so many people were concentrated in the central area? Isn't this population too dense?
At this time, Zhao Ming ran over quickly: "The people from the tower are here."
Because they were involved in human experiments, the group was quickly taken away by the tower for interrogation and reported to the Federation. Although the drainage system had been cut off, the sewage and the remaining mutants still had to be dealt with.
The live broadcast room was closed for one night, and when the audience woke up, Area D was almost in ruins, with several familiar members of the gathering place lurking there.
[No way, area D... is gone? ]
[Do these people have a habit of going out at night? Let's see!]
[Will District F rule the entire island the next time we wake up?]
Fans of the former D zone anchor arrived one after another, and the comments immediately became chaotic:
[They don't have many people, but they're quite arrogant. I don't know what secret methods they used to destroy the base. So many streamers have nowhere to go. They're really cruel.]
I've been watching live streams for so long, and I've never seen anything quite like this. Luckily, Area C is quite large, and the water resources are plentiful, otherwise these streamers would have been completely defeated.
Jiang Zihan, who was watching the live broadcast, suddenly paused and immediately opened the map.
Most of Area D is abandoned factory sites, and the underground mineral veins have been almost dug out. The patrols have not found a clean water source. The barrage said that there are plenty of water resources in Area C. If the news is correct, it only means that the two areas have started contact a long time ago.
Jiang Zihan clicked on the map. There were no pools or lakes shown on it. So where was the source of the water?
The comments were in chaos, and Xiaoqiu typed angrily. She was one of the earliest viewers of the live broadcast room, and she preferred the current scene to those live broadcast rooms with bloody fights.
[Hasn't Area E developed very well since it was designated as a gathering place? Recently, many streamers' distortion values have also dropped to safe levels. Why are they being purged?]
[Here it comes, leg hair is coming. 】
[Stop arguing! I heard the Federation has already sent people to the Exile Lands. This seems to be a big deal!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, even the Federation has been alarmed. Some people are going to suffer the consequences~]
[If you like to stake out territory so much, just stay on the island until you die! ]
In the middle of the night, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the gathering place, and footsteps were approaching quickly.
The door was flung open. Liang Luan rushed over immediately after receiving the news. After rushing in, he immediately saw the wound on Lu Chenyuan's back and changed his tone immediately: "Hey, it's not even summer yet, and it's so bloody. Are you giving mosquitoes an early meal?"
The placement of these wounds is also very artistic. If they were a little deeper or were contaminated with some distorted virus, he might have lost a friend.
Lu Chenyuan smiled faintly: "You are so used to talking to yourself with the hawks that you can't even speak human language anymore, right?"
Liang Luan's eyes wandered over him. After confirming that there were no major problems, he explained his purpose. "I've already sent people to investigate. The distortion values of the sewage have exceeded the standard. The Federation has intervened and will send people over soon."
Lu Chenyuan raised his eyebrows: "No movement from the military?"
"The military certainly can't keep this human modification experiment to themselves. If they're not careful, it could backfire. They should be able to stay quiet for a while." Liang Luan leaned aside. "But when are you planning on leaving?"
Lu Chenyuan slowly wrapped the bandage around him: "Why are you leaving?"
Liang Luan stood up straight immediately. "You don't know about the border situation? Do you really want to stay here forever? Hasn't your distortion been corrected?"
"Let's talk about it later." Lu Chenyuan put on clean clothes, "Are you coming here now to spend the night?"
Liang Luan knew that he couldn't get his mouth to open, so he walked around the room and took a few steps forward to grab a spot on the bed. "I've been running for so long, I'm exhausted. I want to have breakfast tomorrow morning."
I don’t know when those people will come, so I’ll just get some good sleep first.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, the number of people online in the live broadcast room had risen to eight digits, and the comments were polarized. One side felt that the gathering was sensational, while the other side felt that they were a rare pure land. Soon, they were arguing with each other.
When the federal people arrived, the number of people in the live broadcast room reached its peak.
Who are these?
[Looks like he's from the Regulatory Bureau, and his position seems pretty high.]
[Now, some people are really going to suffer.]
The people from the regulatory agency had just gotten off the helicopter when they ran into another group of people arriving.
"Who are they?" The man in uniform approached his colleague and asked. He hadn't heard that other departments were going to send people over.
At this moment, a figure emerged with difficulty, pushing an empty cage. Several scorpion-tailed lemurs were hanging from his body, and each step was quite difficult. His identity was obvious in his distinctive blue overalls.
The people from the Supervisory Bureau suddenly realized: "Someone from the War Beast Breeding Institute."
Many viewers were still waiting to see the joke of Area F, but after taking a glance at the troops sending the war beasts, they said nothing.
The two sides were engaged in a war, and this batch of war beasts was sent in through the channel of the high tower without informing the research institute and the military, but they should know about it now.
The leading supervisor, Momans, stepped forward and said, "We are here for a field inspection. If it meets the construction standards, the Supervisory Bureau will send people to help build the base."
The barrage froze for a moment, and the next second a bunch of question marks flashed by.
What does that mean? The government is also helping them expand their base?
…
Several people from the Regulatory Bureau came here with a mission, because the sewage on the island is so serious that it has exceeded the threshold. Even though this is a place of exile, they cannot allow the sewage to continue to pollute the island.
So once this place meets the conditions for development, they will help expand the base, and both sides will work together to purify it.
Of course, they also have some selfish motives.
Momans' eyes glanced at the furry balls running all over the ground more than once, and he took every step carefully, for fear of stepping on them.
The Exiled Land is a gathering place for highly deformed individuals, including those war beasts. But if they are already highly deformed, then what is wrong with these cubs? And they look quite healthy.
He whispered to his colleagues, "Have you watched the live broadcast here?"
"I'm so busy that I don't have time to watch these live broadcasts." My colleague's eyes almost fell to the ground, and he covered his chest with his hands and whispered.
The live broadcast rooms in the past were all about fighting, and she was not interested in that. If she had known there were such live broadcast rooms, she would have taken out half an hour even if she only had 5 hours of sleep a day, okay?
Several people were a little annoyed. They only knew that there had been a big change on the island, but they never expected it to be like this. No wonder the War Beast Breeding Institute would intervene.
After communicating with these visitors, Jiang Zihan handed them over to others, and he roughly understood their purpose.
The Supervisory Bureau's men were merely the vanguard; there would undoubtedly be more arriving, and they had to be prepared to welcome them. However, the trainer at the War Beast Breeding Facility was somewhat interesting. He walked openly into the training cabin with his group of scorpion-tailed lemurs, seemingly intending to reside there permanently.
He placed all the scorpion-tailed lemurs in the nest he brought, then leaned over and touched Jicheng: "Lord Jicheng, long time no see."
Jicheng raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then perfunctorily tilted his head to touch his palm before falling asleep again. Breeder Fan Yun's eyes welled up with tears, and he couldn't help but sniff.
Jiang Zihan quietly retreated.
The new assistant robot creaked closer on its worn wheels. "The system inspection is complete. Would you like a physical checkup in advance?"
Jiang Zihan walked towards the clinic: "Call those officials from the regulatory bureau. We can't let them make a wasted trip."
In the clinic, everyone crowded into a corner, clearing a large space for the war beasts to be examined.
Jiang Zihan scanned quickly, and a series of data appeared.
As the detector passed over Phantom Cat's abdomen, the data on the screen suddenly jumped abnormally: "Beep - Twin vital signs detected."
The clinic and the entire live broadcast room were silent for two seconds, and then they exploded.
[Why is Phantom Cat pregnant again?! Is this some kind of species that reproduces easily?]
[The above is overthinking. There are very few active Vision Cats in StarCraft right now. If this litter is born successfully, the number of Vision Cats in the Exile Lands will be even greater than the number in the rest of the world.]
[I'm just curious whose cub this is! Are there other phantom cats on the island?]
However, the subsequent examinations completely overturned their imagination. Not only the Phantom Cat, but several war beasts living in the back mountain also showed signs of pregnancy.
[Oh my god, are the war beasts' breeding abilities so strong now?]
[I'm not trying to come up with a conspiracy theory, but is the gathering place submerged in water?!]
Fan Yun's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but hold the folder tightly in his arms.
Jiang Zihan looked normal. Long before the formal physical examination, the system had already discovered those abnormal reactions. Now that it has separated from her body, it can not only detect independently, but also assist Lu Renshuang and others in retrieving information, playing an even greater role.
She adjusted the proportions and quantities of the nutritious meals for the war beasts to prevent them from lacking nutrition.
The deformity in the hawksbill cat's body is quite complicated, and it has been isolated for better treatment. Huan Miao would go and spend a short time with it after taking a walk every day, making her look like an unenlightened parent who broke up a couple in the old times.
But there was no other way, she still had to go and call the cat back. It still couldn't stay so close to the highly distorted war beast.
The officials of the regulatory bureau, who had just been shocked, said they wanted to go to the back mountain to take a look. They heard that there were many free-range war beasts there. They did not participate in the physical examination because they were in good condition. Among them was the famous Pojun. Even if they did not watch the live broadcast, they heard the news from other people.
"Don't worry." Jiang Zihan smiled. "You must have been tired from the long journey. Let's go eat together first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ye Sheng and others pushing a food cart over. Momans thought these were for them, so he immediately stood up and said, "No need to be so troublesome, we can just get it ourselves." As he said that, he wanted to take the plates, but Ye Sheng dodged him.
Ye Sheng immediately took a step back, looking puzzled. He scratched his head as he looked at the mixed food on the plate and said, "No, this is the War Beast Nutrition Meal that Doctor Jiang just adjusted. Your lunch is already being prepared in the kitchen, and we're just waiting for you officers to come over and eat."
The supervisors' eyes suddenly widened. These juicy fresh vegetables, rich proportions and tempting aroma, are actually war beast meals?
They had no idea about the situation on the island and thought that these people were living in very difficult conditions, which was why the higher-ups wanted to come and help expand the base.
But looking at the basins of rich food being sent to the recuperation cabin, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Wow, the war beasts ate more abundantly than their group meals, no wonder they all looked so greasy and smooth.
Is this still the so-called "exile land" with scarce resources? Shouldn't they be the ones being exiled?
