Chapter 514: Changes in the War Zone

Early in the morning, Vice General Zhu Guoming quietly left the main hall and discreetly entered another fortress on Benlian Island.

That fortress was none other than Fanshan Fortress.

Even his trusted subordinates didn't know the whereabouts of their vice general, assuming that their superior was diligently cultivating and striving to break through the barriers of heaven.

This was not surprising.

Because Vice General Zhu was an advanced Xuan Master, and as long as he took one more step forward, he would become a respected Xuan Supervisor. Wasn't it normal for him to practice diligently?

No one knew.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Guoming rarely took off his silver-threaded black robe and changed into a common civilian attire, appearing in a civilian district.

Today, a group of Hua Yunmu happened to gather in a newly built large water pool, busy constructing the nineteenth Mother Palace they were building for the war zone.

Of course.

The reason why the vice general came here was not only to get a close look at the Hua Yunmu, but also for another important reason.

During the last courtyard meeting, Zhu Guoming was publicly questioned by the patrol officer, "Vice General Zhu, have you recently visited the various fortresses?"

At that time, the vice general was a bit embarrassed and couldn't come up with a response. It was precisely because of the subtle psychology of "proving that he had been here" that Zhu Guoming disguised himself and quietly appeared here.

"Yi ah!"

"Yi ya!"

The soft and cute voices of the Hua Yunmu kept drifting from the water pool.

By normal standards, their voices could not be considered unpleasant.

But Zhu Guoming frowned as he listened, becoming increasingly displeased with this group of foreigners.

During that courtyard meeting, he had publicly opposed the inclusion of the Hua Yunmu clan in the Dongli War Zone.

However, Patrol Officer Cheng's power was too great, and even the main generals were forced to submit. He was simply unable to stop the resolution.

At this moment, Zhu Guoming truly felt that this was a terrible idea: "Not only does it leave a huge security risk for the war zone, but it also greatly damages the atmosphere of the war zone!"

Although the Hua Yunmu were not human, their appearance was highly similar to that of the Wan Hao clan. Which human woman would dress like this?

Foreigners were indeed foreigners!

They simply had no sense of shame!

The vice general's gaze quickly swept over the bustling crowd of onlookers.

He immediately noticed that many men were staring at the chests of the Hua Yunmu, their faces showing lewd smiles, causing his brows to furrow tighter and tighter.

"Oh my god!"

"So big!"

"So beautiful!"

The discussions of these guys also carry a different meaning.

Gu Mingxun felt a bit distressed and couldn't help but sigh softly, "How did a perfectly fine war zone end up like this?"

The deputy general raised his hand to lower his hat and quickly walked to the other side of the crowd, where women and children were gathered.

Soon enough.

Gu Mingxun heard some different voices.

Each voice was filled with joy.

Without exception.

"That's great! Our fortress will also have a mother palace from now on!"

"Finally, we don't have to live in constant fear anymore. We can't even drink water normally."

"I was infected with blood shrimp parasites last time and had my blood sucked by the bloodsucking vines for three days. I lost five kilograms. The mother palace's treatment for blood shrimp disease is completely painless. The war zone has indeed done a great thing."

Gu Mingxun suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

He suddenly realized that it seemed like there was not a single commoner opposing the flower jellyfish, but instead, everyone welcomed their entry into the war zone.

The deputy general had a feeling of "everyone is drunk, but I am sober" and evaluated in his heart, "Short-sighted! They only see the immediate benefits and don't know the hidden dangers!"

Before long.

A brand new mother palace was completed.

After observing the entire process, Gu Mingxun muttered softly, "There is indeed some trick to it. No wonder they can deceive so many people."

He had to admit that even though he was a powerful Xuan Master, these flower jellyfish were not even Xuan Shi, but he couldn't understand their methods.

Then.

Ten patients with blood shrimp disease were brought over and sent into the freshly built mother palace.

The scene of the jellyfish tentacles entwining the human body made Gu Mingxun couldn't help but spit out, "This is wicked!"

The deputy general originally thought that the commoners would have a sense of resistance to this, or even show fear.

But the reality was very different from what he imagined.

The majority of the commoners didn't have much of a reaction to this, but instead, they had an expectant look on their faces.

"The tentacles do look a bit strange, but they don't seem that scary."

"I heard that the tentacles feel similar to our skin, and their movements when they wrap around are very gentle."

As Gu Mingxun listened to the discussions, his feeling of being "clear amidst the turbidity of the world" became even stronger.

The deputy general observed the crowd, shook his head, and whispered, "Ignorant!"

Soon enough.

The treatment was finished.

The patients who were just groaning in pain now needed others to support them.

But now, they relied on their own strength and walked out of the mother palace with surprised expressions on their faces.

This scene immediately caused a burst of cheers in the crowd.

Gu Mingxun couldn't bear to watch anymore, cursed again, "They're all idiots," and quickly turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.

After a quarter of an hour.

Gu Mingxun arrived at the nearby dock.

According to the information he knew.

Now, the Hua Yunmu has been scattered to every corner of the war zone, and three Hua Yunmu are stationed at each dock.

The explanation given by the central courtyard is that the efficiency of Hua Yunmu in driving away fish schools is very high, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of fish attacks.

Regarding this.

Gu Mingxun holds a completely different view: "Looking at it from a different perspective, isn't this the complete infiltration of Hua Yunmu into every corner of the war zone?"

The deputy general's expression was full of worry: "The old foundation of this war zone has been thoroughly understood by Hua Yunmu. Once something unexpected happens in the future, there is a high possibility of complete destruction of the war zone."

He bought a ticket and patiently waited at the boarding place.

There happened to be two dock workers next to him, chatting quietly.

"Since Hua Yunmu came, there hasn't been a single fish attacking people from the water in the past three days."

"Yeah! Even when there were Lingxiang monsters guarding the dock before, there were still many fish attacking people every day. I dare not go near the seaside."

"But it's a pity that they don't seem to surface much. They swim under the water all day long!"

"Old Wang, you are such a pervert. I think you want to see their front side. Maybe you want to touch them?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Where did that come from?"

"When did I talk nonsense? You always look at the sea surface, can't I see it?"

The deputy general's old face twitched, and he was too lazy to scold them anymore.

They are really two big fools, actually being deceived by the foreigners!

Not long after.

"Beep! Beep!"

The sound of the steam whistle sounded.

A raft gradually approached the dock.

A crew member timely shouted loudly, "Everyone, get ready to board the ship!"

He paused for a moment and smiled again, "You all came at a good time. In the past, passengers had to wear protective gear every time they boarded the ship, but now it's not so troublesome."

Both the words and the implications expressed praise for Hua Yunmu.

Gu Mingxun had already become numb to it.

*

Another hour passed.

The raft arrived at the Lingyan Lotus Island.

Gu Mingxun entered another fortress and walked straight to the market.

The reason he came here by boat was precisely for this market.

To be precise, it was for a new ingredient!

The deputy general waited at the entrance of the market for a while, and suddenly heard a commotion.

"They're here!"

"The magic-powered vehicles are coming!"

The crowd waiting in advance at the entrance became visibly restless.

"Buzz~"

The sound of the engine running floated over.

Gu Mingxun looked in the direction of the road and immediately saw a convoy of magic-powered transport vehicles speeding towards the market.

Ten seconds later.

The vehicles stopped at the entrance.

The crowd swarmed up and instantly surrounded the vehicles.

The personnel on the vehicles shouted at the top of their lungs, "Don't squeeze, there are a lot of fresh fish delivered today, everyone can buy them!"

Soon.

The rear door of the truck was opened.

The piled up sea fish immediately caught the deputy general's eye.

Due to the presence of a toxin in the air of this world, the sea fish in the ocean have ingested the toxin and are completely inedible.

Although the Wan Hao people have a huge fish farm, they can only obediently grow mushrooms in the fortress.

This is indeed a very regrettable thing.

In fact.

The Wan Hao people have tried to use special plants to remove the toxins from the fish meat.

But the effect is not good.

The high-cost method can completely remove the toxins, but it is obviously not worth it.

The low-cost method cannot completely remove the toxins, although it won't kill people, but diarrhea is inevitable.

The only solution is to develop a new type of plant, but this cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

However.

Since the arrival of Hua Yunmu, things have changed.

They use their clan's secret method to easily cultivate several types of non-toxic sea fish and have established several large fish farms in Lingyan Lotus Island.

Starting from yesterday.

Sea fish appeared in the market for the first time.

This matter was so sensational that even Deputy General Gu had heard of it.

At this moment.

Gu Mingxun looked at the people who were eagerly buying fresh sea fish, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Hua Yunmu has already integrated into every aspect of the war zone and changed the way of life of the common people.

In the past.

If he said, "We shouldn't accept Hua Yunmu," many people would agree.

But now.

If he were to say the same thing, I'm afraid everyone would remain silent.

Gu Mingxun looked at the common people who were smiling happily and suddenly felt a strong sense of loneliness.
