Global cataclysm: I became the world tree

Chapter 167 Huge Expenditure

Chen Dalong left soon, but he was not really busy with anything, so he waited outside after leaving.

After a while, Li Huosheng walked out and whispered: "They have all drunk the genetic potion and fallen into a deep sleep."

Chen Dalong nodded after hearing this, "That's good!"

Li Huosheng couldn't help but ask: "Boss, why are you so nice to them?"

Forget it during the mutant biological crisis before, sending a few brothers to protect it was just a waste of manpower, but it was not really a big price for them.

But this time, three bottles of genetic medicine were taken out, and they were also enhanced versions.

To be honest, Li Huosheng felt that even if someone wanted this kind of genetic medicine, even if it were sold for 100 million, the price would not be small.

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Chen Dalong felt a little pain in his head, but he also understood that this kind of thing might happen again in the future, so it was better to find a reason.

He thought for a while and said: "The Ye family is indeed special. They are a big shot, and they asked me to help take care of them. The enhanced gene potions you are taking were given by that big shot. In addition, you should not have any contact with the Ye family about this matter.

Said they were unaware."

Hearing this, Li Huosheng was a little surprised, and even a series of bloody plots appeared in his mind.

For example, that Ye Xiangfeng may be the illegitimate son of a certain big shot. That big shot did not dare to recognize each other for the time being because of guilt, but he made various compensations secretly...

Of course, Li Huosheng was not interested in the specific situation of the Ye family. It was enough to know that there was a big shot standing behind them.

"Okay, I understand." Li Huosheng said immediately.

Next, the two returned and began to wait silently.

Half an hour later, Ye Xiangfeng woke up first.

He was startled at first and didn't understand why he suddenly fell asleep. He subconsciously looked around and saw his wife and daughter lying on the sofa. He was secretly relieved.

At this time, he looked towards the room and found that the female secretary who had given them the genetic medicine before was still there. He couldn't help but ask: "Hi, Secretary Lin, what's going on? How did we fall asleep?"

"Sir, this is a normal phenomenon after taking genetic medicine. You should have successfully become a superpower by now." Secretary Lin explained according to Chen Dalong's instructions. At the same time, she looked at the other person with envy in her eyes.

Superpowers! Who doesn’t want to be a superpower?

Hearing this, Ye Xiangfeng no longer cared about being lethargic. He quickly stood up and immediately noticed a huge change in his body.

He clenched his fist and felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he even had the illusion that he could kill a cow with one punch.

"Is this the power of a superpower? It's really powerful!" He whispered excitedly to himself.

At this time, Wang Shuwen on the side moved her eyelids and woke up.

"Old Ye, why did I fall asleep?" Wang Shuwen said in a daze.

"Don't worry about that, have you become a superpower?" Ye Xiangfeng asked immediately.

Wang Shuwen was stunned for a moment, then she felt the changes in herself, and nodded excitedly, "Yes! I feel it, my body seems to have become very strong."

At this time, Ye Rou also opened her eyes. She seemed to have not yet woken up. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, I seem to have had a very long dream."

"Oh? What did the little baby dream about?" Wang Shuwen asked casually.

"I dreamed that you took me to see the snow. It was so fun! We went skiing, made snowmen, and had snowball fights..."

Before she finished speaking, Ye Xiangfeng's somewhat urgent voice rang out from the side, "Rourou, what's wrong with your hand?"

Ye Rou rubbed his eyes for a moment, and then he saw a layer of ice crystals forming on the surface of his hands, as if he were wearing ice crystal gloves.

"Ah!" Ye Rou also saw the abnormality in her hands and put her hands down in panic.

Her palm touched the sofa, and instantly with her palm as the center, the entire leather sofa began to freeze rapidly, turning into an ice sculpture in just a few seconds.

"Wow~Mom." Ye Rou was just a 6-year-old girl. She was frightened and cried when she saw such a scene, and immediately rushed towards Wang Shuwen.

"Stop, don't move!" At this time, Chen Dalong heard the movement inside and rushed in from the door. He immediately shouted and even used coercion.

Under such harsh shouts, Ye Rou stopped almost subconsciously.

When Chen Dalong saw this scene, he breathed a secret sigh of relief, walked quickly into the room, and said in a soft tone: "Kid, you have awakened the ice power. What you have to do now is to calm down and put away the power.

Otherwise, if you get close to your parents, you will hurt them, just like that sofa, you know?"

Hearing what Chen Dalong said, Ye Xiangfeng and Wang Shuwen relaxed their anxious hearts. After Ye Rou knew the reason, she no longer panicked at first.

After all, she is already 6 years old and knows a lot of things, and she even knows that she will become a person with powers this time.

So he quickly calmed down, and then under Chen Dalong's guidance, he carefully felt the state of his body and slowly put away his ice power.

At this time, Wang Shuwen hugged her daughter and almost cried with joy. The scene just now really frightened her.

Next, Ye Xiangfeng asked Chen Dalong a lot about people with superpowers.

Chen Dalong also told everything he knew, basically telling him everything he knew.

When the couple learned that generally those who awakened superpowers by taking genetic potions would enhance their own superpowers, and only 1% of people would awaken other superpowers, they didn't know whether to be surprised or happy.

"Boss Chen, do you think this is a good thing?" Ye Xiangfeng asked.

"It must be a good thing! As long as the superpowers are awakened, it is a good thing, and in the future, there will be more and more people with superpowers like us who can enhance their bodies."

"The importance of people with special abilities like your daughter will gradually become apparent." Chen Dalong said.

Of course, he knows Ye Rou's "real" identity, and he knows very well that when the other party has the memory of his past life and begins to regain his strength, he will probably be able to rival the Dragon King.

Therefore, when he praised me next, he felt no psychological burden.

Under Chen Dalong's intentional friendship, the two parties naturally had a good conversation. Ye Xiangfeng and his family stayed at Kuanglong Security Company for another full hour before leaving.

…

When Ye Feng's family awakened to become superpowers, a high-level meeting was also taking place in the largest conference room in Yangcheng City.

As before, the division commander Bai Yinghui and the mayor Liu Zaoxin sat at the top.

On the left are military officers, and on the right are leaders of municipal departments.

Bai Yinghui glanced around the crowd and spoke first: "In today's meeting, the main content of our discussion is how to face this mutant biological crisis."

"We have discussed many details these days. I called everyone here today mainly to discuss the reinforcements from the Dragon King Palace."

Hearing this, many people were shocked and looked at Bai Yinghui expectantly.

During this period of time, they have dealt with those mutated insects a lot, so they naturally understand how difficult those mutated insects are.

If the current defensive wall had not been built, to be honest, not many of them would have the confidence to withstand this crisis.

Even after the defensive walls were built and various defensive facilities were deployed, many people in the field were still worried. After all, the number of mutated insects they faced this time was too many.

That's a total of 300 million mutated insects, and this is just a conservative estimate.

In this case, Dragon King Palace is undoubtedly their most important supporting force.

The power of the Dragon King Palace has been obvious to all during this period of time. The most representative one is the defense work of the three mines.

According to the estimates of the staff, if there were no mutated creatures from the Dragon King Palace to assist in defense, they would have to invest at least 3,000 soldiers in each mine to ensure the safety of the workers.

Previously, their regular army only had 10,000 people. If each mine required 3,000 people, then a total of 9,000 people would have to be eliminated. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of Yangcheng City, let alone training.

Things like recruits.

With the help of the Dragon King Palace, the number of soldiers stationed at each mine can be drastically reduced to 300. The military has even begun to propose that the defense work can be handed over to major security companies.

From these we can see how powerful the Dragon King Palace is, and this is not all their strength.

So this time, if the Dragon King Palace is willing to maintain an offensive and defensive alliance with them, the pressure on the military will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Bai Yinghui said: "We have already contacted the Dragon King Palace and inquired about their attitude."

"The Dragon King said that they are willing to send troops to help, but it will be paid. So in this meeting, we mainly discuss how much it will cost to invite the other party here."

As soon as Bai Yinghui finished speaking, Liu Zaoxin beside him immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, as long as we can survive this crisis, money is not a problem."

The military's money is limited. Even if there is military expenditure on hand, it will be used to improve the strength of the army. Expenses such as recruiting reinforcements will naturally need to be paid by the Yangcheng City government.

After hearing Liu Zaoxin's statement, most of the military generals breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, in that case, let Zhang Ji explain the specific situation! This time, he also contacted the Dragon King Palace to discuss the matter." Bai Yinghui said immediately.

Upon hearing his name, Zhang Ji stood up immediately, "The request from the Dragon King Palace is this..."

Next, Zhang Ji carefully told the details of the negotiation with the Dragon King, as well as the other party's requirements.

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

To be honest, such a war price is definitely not a small figure even for the Yangcheng City Government.

Liu Zaoxin immediately looked at Secretary General Cao Guangzhi beside him, who immediately lowered his voice and said: "We still have a lot of expenses in our account, especially the construction funds allocated by the capital."

"Excluding various expenses, we can at least come up with this amount." Cao Guangzhi made a gesture.

Liu Zaoxin nodded immediately, now he knew what he was doing.

He coughed lightly, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "According to what Captain Zhang Ji said, third-level mutated animals can directly display range pressure and suppress mutated insects, which is the most effective."

"Then how many third-level mutant creatures are there under the Dragon King? If there are not many, I suggest inviting them all to help in the battle."

Bai Yinghui thought for a while and said: "According to what we have detected, there are 25 third-level mutant creatures in the Dragon King Palace. Of course, we cannot rule out the ones we have not detected."

"One third-level mutated creature costs 30 million Chinese coins. If we invite all 25 third-level mutated creatures, we will need a total of 750 million Chinese coins."

When Liu Zaoxin heard this figure, even though he had already prepared it, the corner of his mouth still twitched. It was really too expensive.

However, if the defense this time does not go smoothly and those mutated creatures rush into the city and destroy it, then the loss will not be a few hundred million, but probably tens or tens of billions.

So, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"In addition, we cannot simply invite third-level mutant creatures. Second-level mutant creatures must also be invited, but with limited funds, we cannot invite them all."

Everyone else couldn't help but nod after hearing this. Second-level mutant creatures are not cheap either. If you invite one for 2 million, then 50 of them would be 100 million.

Under this situation, it is definitely necessary to invite those mutated animals that can absolutely crush second-order mutated insects to be worth the price.

"Just tell us how many second-order mutated creatures the money we have can allow us to invite! Then we can make a decision." Bai Yinghui said.

"Then... 300!" Liu Zaoxin gritted his teeth again and said.

300 second-level mutated creatures, that’s a total of 600 million.

"In that case, the order of our invitations will be mutated Siberian tiger, mutated Asiatic lion, mutated African elephant, mutated hippopotamus, mutated white rhinoceros, mutated brown bear, mutated jaguar, mutated giant panda, mutated wild wolf, and mutated honey badger.

"

"If these combined are not enough, then we will invite mutant dogs. There are more than 1,000 of them in this Dragon King Palace, which is definitely enough." After saying this, Bai Yinghui felt a little toothache.

Not only him, but everyone else in the venue was also a little silent.

If they have so many mutant dogs... that's not right. There are more than 10,000 mutant dogs in their custody now.

But the problem is that these mutated dogs are only in the early stages of the first level, and they don't obey their commands.

Anyway, they are just jealous!

Liu Zaoxin, who was bleeding heavily, asked directly: "Don't your military have a plan to tame mutant dogs? When will it be implemented? How long will it take to see the results?"
