Chapter 436 It would be nice if being handsome could be eaten
Huaizhen has always been the only developed place in Changshan County. It is located on a small plain at the easternmost part of Changshan County. Huaizhen is the first place you see when you enter from Changshan Highway, and it can be said to be the county's facade.
Huaizhen is now developing very well. Its area has expanded more than five times. It has annexed the neighboring Donghe Town and Qingze Township, which is full of laborers. It occupies most of the best locations in Changshan County, and its population exceeds 2 million.
After more than half a year of renovation, Huaizhen has changed a lot. Looking around, the infrastructure has been completely renovated, the avenues are clean and spacious, street lights are erected in rows, buildings are lined up one after another, and shop windows are full of dazzling goods.
Although it is not extremely prosperous, it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.
This is also the only place in Changshan County that has lights at night.
After more than half a year of extensive development, more than 50 residential communities have been completed in Huaizhen, with a total of more than 200,000 commercial housing units. The new buildings and houses are connected from the original border of Huaizhen to Donghe Town and then to Qingze Township, and the entire small plain has fallen into its embrace.
Since then, Huaizhen's atmosphere has broken through the scale of a town and is moving towards the scale of a city.
This was Zhao Minggong's most proud achievement, a development plan he painstakingly planned for Huaizhen over more than 30 years. Not only did Huaizhen experience unprecedented development, but all dilapidated and abandoned areas were also revitalized under its influence.
I once thought that I would never be able to see this in my entire life, but it was realized in just over half a year.
Unfortunately, County Magistrate Lin did not have the authority to change Huai Town into Huai City.
In the empire, counties and cities were administrative levels, but counties were usually composed of rural towns and large open areas, while cities were relatively densely populated areas.
The rank of the chief of a city is half a level higher than that of the chief of a county.
If the city is the capital of a state, it will be half a level higher.
If he is still above the first-line level, he can be one level higher. At this time, the commander is already an imperial-level official, only half a level lower than the governor, and can enter the Supreme Council to vote.
Shenjing, Longjing and Wujing are all like this, and Yaojing is still half a step away.
But no matter what, Zhao Minggong still planned it as a city. Huaizhen now not only has a third ring road, but is also about to build an airport, subway and light rail.
Since the Java engineering team had extraordinary drilling capabilities, Zhao Minggong specially invited County Chief Lin to discuss the construction of the subway.
"Chief Lin, if the Java Engineering Team can take on the subway project, Huaizhen will be able to quickly enter the subway era. I've consulted the First Construction Bureau, and their quote is 80 million per kilometer, and a 50-kilometer line will take two years to build."
Lin Wen had not originally planned to take on anything else. The excavation project worth 80 billion was enough to keep him busy for a while.
But when he heard the cost of 80 million per kilometer, Lin Wen immediately agreed.
"Also, County Governor Lin, the Changshan County Airport has been approved by the Imperial Air Traffic Control Bureau. From now on, the Empire has a new route from Changshan County to the Empire's three super first-tier cities."
Lin Wen nodded: "What do you need me to do?"
Zhao Minggong smiled and said, "The experts from the Air Traffic Control Bureau looked at our site and decided that it wasn't far enough from the Yunxiao Mountains to be safe. We need to move it another 30 kilometers south. However, I carefully planned the location of the airport, and construction has already begun."
"The experts say that even if we don't move it, we can just cut down a thousand meters of the eastern peak of the Yunxiao Mountains... So, County Chief Lin, I'm leaving this up to you."
Shit... Lin Wen had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. It was very tiring to cut a thousand meters of a mountain. Even for him, it would break his waist, but he still agreed.
"besides……"
Hey, hey...you still have more, I'm dying of exhaustion, you know? Lin Wen glared at Zhao Minggong, hoping that what he said would be less serious.
"Changshan County actually has a very good geographical location. It's located in the center of the empire and is the only passage between the two mountain ranges connecting the east and west of the empire. However, the 300-kilometer-long mountain range to the west blocks this road, turning Changshan County into a desolate and barren place."
Zhao Minggong vividly used an analogy: "It's like an aorta being blocked by a blood clot."
"If we can clear this blood clot, not only will the empire's blood flow be smooth and its vitality be doubled, but Changshan County will also become a thoroughfare connecting the east and west of the empire. This will bring countless development opportunities and fundamentally change Changshan County's impoverished appearance."
"Chief Lin, this is the fundamental strategy for Changshan County's development."
Lin Wen felt like his heart had stopped beating. Holding onto a glimmer of hope, he asked, "Isn't there a passage leading to the Qichuan Mountains?"
This was in preparation for the war with Shizhou. He dug a passage from the middle, leading straight to the Qichuan Mountains in the westernmost part of Changshan County, and built a military camp there as the frontline position at that time.
Now, it has even become the main military camp of Changshan County, and the headquarters has moved there.
Zhao Minggong smiled bitterly and said, "I asked, and Miss Qin disagreed. She said this is a military road and not open to civilian use."
Lin Wen angrily said, "Is there such a thing? Does she still talk about democracy? I'll call her right now and ask her to agree."
"No, no," Zhao Minggong immediately stopped him. "Chief Lin, I understand her difficulties. Besides, that passage isn't suitable for civilian use. It goes almost entirely through the mountains and can't connect to villages and towns in the mountains."
He took out a road map that he had prepared long ago.
"Look, County Magistrate Lin, this is the highway route I carefully planned. It's both safe and fast, and it also conveniently connects villages and towns."
Zhao Minggong said in a heavy tone.
"We must understand that the villages and towns in the mountains of Changshan County have hardly benefited from our development. They are extremely poor, without electricity or running water, and it's as if they are living in primitive times."
"Furthermore, because the mountains are difficult to navigate and deep, they have become a hideout for many criminals and drug traffickers, a haven for impunity. If we can turn these dangerous terrains into smooth roads, it will not only greatly benefit the development of Changshan County, but also bring the power of sunshine and the rule of law to previously unreachable areas. This is a great thing."
Lin Wen didn't want to agree at first, but when he heard "great benefits" and "good things", he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Zhao Minggong smiled with satisfaction: "I knew that Commander Lin could do it."
Lin Wenzhe felt like Alexander. With so many things to do, every bit of his soul would have to be split into two petals.
At this moment, the phone in his arms rang. It was Qin Luoshuang calling.
However, it was Bald Qiang’s call.
Lin Wen hung up the phone directly. With a thought, seven talismans floated out of the lucky bag hanging on Qin Luoshuang's side, flew out of the window of the KGB headquarters, and landed on the nearby mud.
The mud wrapped around the talisman paper, and mud figures gathered and took shape. When they stood up and took their first step, they still looked like mud.
When he took the second step, the outline of a person appeared.
When he took the third step, his eyes became clearly black and white, his skin color changed, his bald head was shiny and reflective, and the outline of his leather armor and tights was clear.
When he took the fourth step, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Thirty seconds after Qin Luoshuang made the call, Bald Qiang led the Pleasant Goat team into the KGB headquarters.
Qin Luoshuang was in the hall, surrounded by countless agents, and the atmosphere was tense.
The moment they stepped in, everyone's attention was drawn to them. One person wanted to stop them, but when he saw the words "Dragon Group" on their chests, he stopped.
Under the gazes of countless people, the seven people came in front of Qin Luoshuang and lined up in a row.
The group of muscular, bald men all bowed and said, "Greetings, Commander Qin."
The hall was silent. The sunlight shone in from the door and reflected on their bald heads, making it difficult for many people to open their eyes.
Qin Luoshuang was momentarily dazed, but quickly recovered and said, "There's an enemy 23 kilometers to the west. Here are the coordinates. Go and support them immediately."
The seven people bowed again. When they walked out of the headquarters, they immediately asked Lin Wen for help through the induction between the spirit puppet and the caster:
We need the [Art of Divine Movement].
The spirit puppet can inherit some spell effects.
Lin Wen sighed lightly, Shanyuan's spellcasting had not yet recovered, and [Yuanzhikong] had not reached the state of heaven, so the spell reduction was less than 50%.
Originally only 5% of the spirit was used, but now 7% is used.
But it won’t work if you don’t use it.
Lin Wen's thought flashed, and the light of magic flashed on his body.
As soon as [The Art of Speed] was used, the seven bald men suddenly accelerated and ran away in full view of everyone, scaring the KGB agents who were following them from behind.
"This, this speed is over 100! Faster than a racing car!"
"Quick, notify the Second Regiment's agents to take over observation!"
"Number seven, number seven, quickly set up the reconnaissance radar, the Dragon Team agents are coming!"
"Front line, front line, hold them off and don't fight! The Dragon Team is here to support us."
…
On a peak in the Taixu Mountains, all the agents retreated into a temporary outpost.
At the beginning of their guard mission, they were told that this was a mission to guard against the invasion of fourth-level special forces.
Once the enemy is discovered, report it immediately and retreat to the base. Do not fight.
Their task was to patrol the mountain with a lantern-sized whistle and a steam bag on their back.
Blowing the whistle every three to five minutes can ensure that there are no enemies within 1,500 meters.
Qin Luoshuang took three days to build a preliminary line of defense.
For the first three days, everything was fine.
Even the most highly trained agents felt that their actions were artistic but not very practical.
But the high quality of the agents still keeps them vigilant.
Just today, a team of agents discovered something unusual immediately after blowing the whistle. The soil in the distance suddenly bulged, and five insect-like monsters jumped out of it. The agents immediately sounded the alarm and returned to the temporary base.
The insect people seemed to be enraged and chased them relentlessly. After they hid in the stronghold, they continued to attack the temporary stronghold made of steel plates.
Their serrations pierced the steel skin and tore the steel plates. The steel hut was shaking. The four agents stood back to back, with bullets loaded and grenade pull rings hanging in their hands, ready to die together.
But in just a moment, there was a loud bang, and the steel plate was completely torn apart. The four agents immediately threw out grenades and quickly pulled the trigger.
boom!
The violent explosion could not cover up the roar of the insect people, and something was rolling violently in the billowing smoke.
The four agents fired into the thick smoke while preparing to throw the second grenade.
But an agent suddenly stopped them: "Don't pull! It seems like backup is coming."
The thick smoke soon dissipated, and the four people could see clearly that seven bald men were wrestling with five insect people.
The insect man's compound eyes were red and his scythes were dancing wildly, making him look extremely scary.
But the bald man was not afraid at all. He pressed the insect man to the ground and beat him hard. The heavy punches he threw made a dull thud that was so loud that it gave people a headache.
The insect people seemed to be stunned, their counterattack was messy, and they were outnumbered, so they were actually suppressed.
The four agents are all very young, under the age of eighteen. Although they have undergone rigorous training, they still retain the youthful liveliness and activity.
The extremely stimulating scene before them made their eyes stare straight.
"Wow, no way... is this the legendary Dragon Group?"
"Uncles are so fierce... close combat..."
"Fuck, that bug is disgusting, these uncles have such good taste..."
Even as they complained, they still found a safe angle with their pistols and shot at the insect man's head.
"No way, they don't seem to have any weaknesses... even hitting their eyes won't work."
"Hey, Xiao Zhang, did you see that? They don't seem to be injured at all."
These words made the four young agents feel heavy in their hearts, and a dark cloud descended upon them.
After careful observation, they found that there was no damage on the insect man's body. Not only did the bullets not cause any damage, but neither did the grenades or the uncles' fists.
During the struggle, the insect people gradually gained the upper hand. They kept trying to break free from the bald man's entanglement and used their sickles and hand knives to attack the gaps in their defense.
Suddenly, the four agents cried out in unison. A bug-man's hand knife pierced directly through the chest of a big man, and his two pairs of sickles took advantage of the momentum to twist one of his arms off.
The big man picked up his arm and rolled to the side, and another big man rushed over and continued the fight.
The four agents rushed towards him, taking out various emergency medicines and hemostatic bandages, but they saw the big man put his arm on his shoulder, rushed back into the battle, and beat the insect man who had just broken his arm with another big man.
The insect man was beaten and screamed, but he couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the two men.
The four agents stayed where they were, not even noticing that the medicine bandages in their hands had fallen.
They stared at the big man and found that not only had his arm been reattached, but the wound on his chest was also gone.
It was as if the fatal injury he had just received was an illusion.
"Oh my god!"
"Does the uncle have super powers?"
"Idiot, they are special combat units."
"What is a special combat body?"
"Are you a pig? You fell asleep in class? It's the abbreviation for Special Combat Entity."
"No way...they look no different from humans, but they are actually biochemical monsters?"
"Bah, this is called a cyborg. Those insects are just biochemical monsters."
But the clay man's performance was beyond common sense, and the agents' three views were shattered.
But Priest Dror, who was controlling the situation personally from a distance, had all his facial features shattered.
Does special warfare also need to be scientific?
Biochemical mutants are also products of science, right?
How could a severed arm be reattached in just three seconds? What kind of mutant has this ability?
Why is Changshan County full of such unscientific things?
All the cult leaders and biochemical experts under him screamed in shock.
"What kind of biochemically modified human is this?"
"Is this recovery ability due to the implantation of leech genes?"
"No, that's not right. I just cut his arm and didn't see any blood."
Dro's face turned pale.
Their top biochemical special forces not only failed to infiltrate, but also fought each other on the ground like country bumpkins.
What's worse is that they can't even get rid of it.
Those big men have great strength and endless endurance. They seem to never get tired and are not afraid of getting hurt.
Although the fight was ugly, these big men knew how to cooperate and were familiar with martial arts. De Luo had already seen that they were very proficient in wrestling.
The insect people fight according to their fighting instincts, which is an efficient means of killing, but these clay figures are not afraid of death. The insect people cannot understand wrestling, let alone the joint techniques in wrestling.
Therefore, even though they were more advanced and stronger, they were pinned to the ground and beaten by the big man.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the big man’s strength is not enough to cause any harm to the insect man.
This is also the price they pay for their quick rebirth.
De Luo said angrily: "Quick, order the manipulators on the front line to find a solution!"
The operator's aggrieved voice came back from the communicator: "Master, I have no choice! Those bald guys are too difficult to deal with!"
De Luo said angrily: "I don't care, you find a way immediately! Otherwise, I will send you to Elder Mo's biochemical base and turn you into a bug!"
The operator's face was distorted and he could only send instructions through the current feedback device implanted in the insect man's brain.
Changshan County.
Lin Wen finally finished listening to Zhao Minggong's detailed highway plan. There was no doubt that if this highway was built, it would bring about huge changes to Changshan County.
The empire's east-west travel could be shortened by 300 to 1,000 kilometers.
Then, branch roads were built along the highway, penetrating into the mountains like capillaries, bringing modern technology and civilization like nutrients in the blood to places that were previously inaccessible, and the entire Changshan County was revitalized.
He is worthy of being called Wolong.
Lin Wen smiled happily, as if he saw the scene of his weekly good karma exploding.
But the smile quickly disappeared.
Because the spirit puppet sent him another request for help: requesting [all possible efforts].
No way.
Lin Wen was very unhappy. Is this how the soul is wasted?
He immediately connected with telepathy and shared the feeling of a clay figure.
The first thing you see is a pair of huge compound eyes and a disgusting mouthpart.
Damn, that's disgusting.
Lin Wen shifted his perspective and soon discovered that they were wrestling with clay figures.
No way, this is too blind, a bald guy wrestling with a bug.
Lin Wen took over one clay man and asked another clay man to hold down the insect man, while he punched him wildly.
However, despite the loud noise, the insect man's shell did not move at all.
Damn, you guys are too weak.
The seven clay figures were originally maintaining a delicate balance, but one of them suddenly lost the ability to play. Immediately, a bug figure broke free from the entanglement, cut off the thigh of the clay figure with a knife, then distanced himself and rushed over to cut off the arms of another clay figure.
The balance of victory suddenly tilted towards the insect man. Dror smiled and said, "Good, great! Good operation, worthy of praise."
Military expert Zhang Dongxu made a judgment: "We have won! They are exhausted!"
De Luo smiled broadly and gave orders: "Seize the opportunity to pursue the victory! Don't give them a chance to catch their breath!"
The operator didn't understand why, and kept giving orders to the insect man, micro-manipulating him frantically.
The situation suddenly worsened. The four agents were so scared that their faces turned pale. They raised their guns and shot at the insect people, but it had no effect and the insect people ignored them.
Lin Wen sighed deeply.
Forget it, you asked for it.
The light of [Nine Oxen and Two Tigers’ Strength] flashed, and 12% of his soul left him again.
At this time, four of the five insect people had escaped control.
The big man's hands and feet were broken, leaving only a clay figure intact.
De Luo smiled and said, "I won."
Zhang Dongxu nodded: "One hundred percent, there is absolutely no chance of a comeback."
The operator gave the final order for the raid.
A bug-man rushed from behind, and the clay man turned around and punched him on the head.
The operator sneered, "It's impossible to kill him."
The insect man didn't dodge or evade, and slashed his thigh with his knife.
Bang!
There was a dull popping sound, like a ripe watermelon bursting.
The clay man's iron fist smashed the insect man's head, sending yellow and green splashes all over the sky, and the light gray shell shattered into pieces.
Another insect man rushed from behind. The clay man turned around instantly, and his iron fist came like a windmill, hitting the man's head.
Bang!
There was another extremely deep muffled sound.
The four agents and the operator were all stunned.
But as the yellow and green splashed, his legs were also cut off.
The clay man fell to the ground, but the three intact brothers stood up again and stood in front of him.
The clay figure with broken legs took twelve seconds to reconnect his legs.
When he stood up, all seven brothers had already stood up.
Lin Wen shouted in the telepathic connection: "Calabash Brothers! Charge!"
Bald Qiang and Pleasant Goat, whose names were changed, rushed towards the final victory.
As the iron fist was swung, yellow-green slime splashed everywhere.
In a flash, only one insect man was left alive.
It turned and ran, but the clay man was faster than it, and its speed exceeded 120 kilometers per hour.
One clay man kicked it down with a flying kick, and the other clay man jumped up and punched it from the sky, turning it into a pulp.
Mission completed.
Dror looked at the big screen that had gone completely black, and he could no longer feel any heat in his body.
Military expert Zhang Dongxu defended himself: "They are too strong. They can regenerate limbs and burst into bursts of power. The gap between Elder Mo's Mayfly and them is too big."
"We should quickly find someone stronger for Elder Mo."
"Yes, Expert Zhang is right. A pure body in its complete state can definitely easily destroy these monsters."
A glimmer of hope flashed in De Luo's eyes, and he quickly ordered, "Quick, go find some people! The stronger the better! As long as we find twenty, no, no, thirty strong men, Elder Mo won't blame us!"
KGB headquarters.
Qin Luoshuang and her confidants were speechless and in disbelief when they received the news.
Are all the people in the Dragon Group monsters?
Qin Luoshuang thought more deeply.
Why do Bald Qiang's group and Yi Tiao Bian's group seem to be from different systems?
Special Administrative Office, County Hall.
Lin Wen chatted with Mr. Zhao for a while, and as expected, he was urged to get married.
Zhao Minggong's reasons are also very tenable.
“If the county chief has a stable family, Changshan County will be more stable.”
Lin Wen asked curiously, "Is there any connection between them?"
Zhao Minggong laughed and said, "Chief Lin, you don't seem to realize how attractive a single, young, handsome, righteous, and legendary imperial official is to young girls."
"Even if you don't get married, people are still hoping for you, just like those celebrities who don't get married. They have a wish and a hope. Even though I know it's impossible, who can say for sure about love? Maybe County Chief Lin will fall in love with me?"
Zhao Minggong smiled happily and winked at Li Xiaoli beside him.
"Isn't that right, Xiaoli?"
Li Xiaoli blushed slightly, nodded, and said softly, "In my circle, all the girls with a little bit of self-confidence have the same idea. They have set up many organizations such as the Lin County Mayor Support Association and the Lin County Mayor Fan Club... They are very well organized..."
Lin Wen glanced at her and was disappointed to find that after so much time, Li Xiaoli had not grown into what he expected.
Not mature at all, except for the figure.
He concentrated his attention and took a look at the thread of fate between him and Li Xiaoli.
The line was as thick as a bucket and it read:
"Idol".
...Aren’t you the same?
Zhao Minggong laughed and said, "You attract so many girls by yourself. What about all the young men in our county? The girls are always comparing you to them. How can they be satisfied?"
"With so many bachelors in Changshan County, how can one settle down?"
"If they get married and put down roots in Changshan County, they will be able to work more peacefully and diligently. Changshan County will also develop better."
"So, County Chief Lin, for the sake of Changshan County, get married soon."
No way?
Lin Wen's whole body was torn apart.
Is it wrong that I’m too handsome?
well.
If only being handsome could make a living, I could feed the whole world.
So many good connections.
