Hearing Cao Guangzhi's question, Zhang Ji sighed, "Do you think I don't want to mine more ore? But this is basically the limit."

"If you want to increase production capacity, you must increase manpower, and conservatively estimate that the number will be at least 1,000."

"1,000 people?" Cao Guangzhi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, no problem, I'll help you coordinate."

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Ji looked a little surprised, and then said with some displeasure: "Didn't you say before that the 5,000 people you gave me were already the limit? How can you bring them to me so casually now?

1,000 people?”

"Ahem! Don't think that I was trying to make things difficult for you before."

Cao Guangzhi quickly explained: "When you asked me for people yesterday, 5,000 people was indeed the limit. After all, you know how dangerous the wilderness is now. You can imagine how difficult it is to find people to go mining."

"But today is different. The giant panda broadcast live for a whole day, showing off the strength of the Dragon King Palace, and those mutated birds are really powerful, and the number of casualties has plummeted."

"So, the negative emotions among the people have reduced a lot today, and since we have given them enough money, more people will naturally be willing to go out."

Zhang Ji sighed a little after hearing this, "Yes! With the support from the Dragon King Palace, the workers have less worries and their work efficiency is much higher. Otherwise, the rocks I brought back today would only be two-thirds of what they are now at most.

"

Coincidentally, if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come.

In the field of vision of the two people, a huge panda was approaching quickly with agility that was completely inconsistent with its size.

The staff responsible for guiding the other party even had to ride a motorcycle to keep up.

The giant panda came to the two of them and let out a roaring sound.

Zhang Ji and Cao Guangzhi looked at each other.

Just when they were about to say something, they saw the giant panda in front of them squat down, stretch out a finger on the ground, and write a line of crooked words.

"I want to see your leader. The translator will be here soon. Urgent!"

Seeing this line of writing on the ground, both of them were shocked.

Seeing the mutant giant panda, Zhang Ji and Cao Guangzhi looked at each other without any intention of joking. They both picked up their mobile phones and made a call.

ten minutes later!

Yangcheng City Hall, the largest conference room.

Military division commander Bai Yinghui and Yangcheng City Mayor Liu Zaoxin attended the meeting.

Opposite them were a giant panda and a huge parrot.

Although there were only a few people in the huge conference room, it still seemed a bit crowded.

Fortunately, the giant panda is only over two meters tall when sitting down.

But after the mutant parrot broke through to the third level, its size increased dramatically. Even if it squatted down, its head would almost reach the ceiling.

Since this meeting was of a very high level, there were basically no outsiders present.

Apart from Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin, there are only three bodyguards: Chen Dalong, Pei Jin and Wang Feng.

Of course, outside the conference room, soldiers from a special battalion had already been mobilized to respond to emergencies at any time.

If the mutated giant panda and mutated parrot want to harm them, as long as Chen Dalong and the others resist for a while, the special forces from outside can rush in.

After all, the two parties have just started cooperation, so some safety measures must be taken.

Ye Feng also expressed his understanding of this.

After the two parties took their seats, they exchanged a few polite words, and then Ye Feng got straight to the point and said: "The reason why we need to hold this emergency meeting this time is because we discovered an extremely troublesome thing."

When Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin heard the mutated parrot's opening remarks, their hearts trembled.

"Is there something wrong over there in the Dongling Mountains?" Mayor Liu Zaoxin asked quickly.

Now the foundation of their defensive wall has just been laid.

If the mutated insects from the Dongling Mountains attack the city now, without the protection of the city wall, even if they can win, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"no!"

The mutated parrot shook his head, but before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued: "The things about the Dongling Mountains are nothing compared to the problems I have discovered now."

???

Liu Zaoxin's expression was a little stiff. He stared at the other person with burning eyes, wanting to know if this sentence was a joke.

But he couldn't see anything at all, and the atmosphere in the venue instantly became tense.

"What exactly is the trouble?" At this time, Bai Yinghui, who was sitting next to him, spoke.

He doesn't have so many complex thoughts. If a problem occurs, all they have to do is solve it.

"I wonder if you have noticed in the past few days that the old locust tree on Xiaofeng Mountain has disappeared." said the mutated parrot.

"I'm paying attention to this matter, but there are too many things to deal with now, and I don't have time to investigate. Is there something wrong with that old locust tree?" Bai Yinghui asked with a frown.

They have not yet discovered mutant plants that pose a threat to humans, so the priority will naturally be postponed indefinitely.

"I don't know if there is anything wrong with the old locust tree, but after I discovered that it disappeared, I immediately sent my subordinates to investigate, only to find that Xiaofeng Mountain has become a restricted area." The mutant parrot said.

"Restricted area? What does this mean?" It was Liu Zaoxin who spoke this time.

Mutated Parrot: "That's what it means literally. With Xiaofeng Mountain as the center, a strange corrosive energy appeared all around."

"All creatures that come into contact with corrosive energy will die quickly, and their bodies will rot. In the end, not even a bone will be left. It has become a restricted area for life."

"What's more important is that the scope of the restricted area is expanding at a speed of almost 10 meters per hour. If a creature dies in the restricted area, its expansion speed will be accelerated."

After Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin listened, their first reaction was not fear, but absurdity.

Because this kind of thing sounds too weird and uninhibited, as if telling a weird story.

In the field, only Chen Dalong believed in the mutated parrot's words and had many guesses in his mind.

"Parrot Messenger, could it be that this restricted area was created by some evil god?" Chen Dalong asked quickly.

At this time, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin also suddenly remembered what the other party said about ancient times during the alliance negotiations.

In fact, a group of their senior officials have discussed these matters, and feel that the authenticity of such matters is only 30% at most.

It was most likely a mutated parrot that deceived them.

But the emergence of this restricted area now undoubtedly corroborates what the other party said, so things like ancient times and gods may have really existed.

At this moment, both of them looked at the mutant parrot with serious expressions, waiting for each other's answer.

However, the mutated parrot slowly shook his head, "I don't know, after all, my Lord Dragon King used a secret method to reincarnate into the next life in the early stages of the War of the Gods."

"So we don't know much about the abilities of many evil gods. This restricted area may be the ability of a certain evil god, but it may not be. After all, the Dragon King's strength has just recovered, and many methods cannot be used, so naturally there is no way to find out clearly."

Ye Feng is patching things up.

After all, he knew nothing about the restricted area that appeared now. Who knew what would come out later? It would be embarrassing if he didn't know anything about it when the time came.

But after hearing what the mutated parrot said, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin believed it even more.

"Then have you found a way to solve this restricted area?" Bai Yinghui immediately asked the main point.

"We have indeed found a way. The main reason why that place is a restricted area is because there is corrosive energy in it."

"Thunder and lightning can directly eliminate this corrosive energy, but to eliminate the corrosive energy in the entire restricted area, a huge amount of thunder and lightning energy needs to be released. Even if my Lord Dragon King can summon thunder and lightning, he is still powerless."

Having said this, the mutated parrot stared at the two people in front of him and said: "With humankind's current technology, it shouldn't be difficult to make some discharge devices to create artificial lightning, right?"

After hearing this, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin finally understood the reason why the other party came to the door.

"No problem, I will step up preparations. When will we solve the problem in the restricted area?" This time the question was asked by Liu Zaoxin.

With his rights, he can directly call on the equipment and talents of several research institutions. Even if he doesn't have one, he can build one as quickly as possible.

"Of course, the faster, the better. The restricted area is expanding all the time, and the further you get to the back, the more difficult the problem will be to solve." said the mutated parrot.

"Then give me one night, and I will get the equipment over tomorrow morning." Liu Zaoxin said immediately.

After the problem was solved, Ye Feng didn't stay long and left with a few polite words.

Mainly Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin, who would always talk to each other and especially like to ask about things from ancient times. How could he stay here?

…

the next morning!

The whole city became lively with the birth of the sun. Teams set off from the city and headed towards several mines.

The progress of building the defensive wall will be announced almost every hour.

Looking at the astonishing construction speed, every resident of Yangcheng City has a sense of pride. Under this situation, everyone's enthusiasm for work has been mobilized.

Among the teams leaving the city, there was a team of more than 100 people, which seemed inconspicuous.

But in fact, they are the most elite rapid reaction force in the entire Yang City.

The division commander Bai Yinghui personally led the team.

Chen Dalong and other superpowers were also called over. Of course, this was considered a military mission, and military merits were calculated every time, so they were quite happy to come over.

After the convoy left the city, it headed directly along the road towards the Sunset Valley.
