Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 307 - 211 Changes in the International Situation_2

After taking stock of Dragon Hall’s strength, Ye Feng, as usual, used his spiritual power to sweep through Yang City and the surrounding areas.

He checked to see if there were any Mutated Animals that didn’t know whether they were alive or dead and had slipped in.

Just the day before yesterday, a Mutated Cheetah, relying on its speed, had managed to evade the patrols set by the Animal Legion on the perimeter and had sneakily entered his territory to hunt.

The result was predictable; Ye Feng directly dispatched Big Yellow Dog and gave the intruder a thorough beating for a good two hours.

It wasn’t until the Mutated Cheetah was covered in wounds that it was dragged back and thrown into the cheetah group in Sunset Valley for assimilation.

Soon, Ye Feng’s spiritual power sweep was complete, and no powerful foreign creatures had entered.

During this sweep with his spiritual power, he also took the opportunity to check on the construction in Yang City.

Even though this wasn’t the first time he had done this, every time he checked, he felt a sense of amazement.

From the time he and Liu Zaoxin agreed on the plan to now, only about five days had passed.

But in this short span of time, a bridge spanning the entire Donglin Mountain Range, measuring three kilometers in length, had already been built.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this was absolutely a record-breaking feat.

Of course, the ability to do this, on the one hand, was due to the construction of hundreds of bridge piers simultaneously, and they were being worked on 24 hours a day. All bridge piers had been completed in just three days.

As for the bridge itself, it was built using a modular structure, with most parts being pre-fabricated in other cities and then transported here for welding.

Of course, even then, it shouldn’t have been completed so fast; however, the pace changes with reduced requirements.

From the outset, the bridge was designed to have a lifespan of only ten years—essentially a transitional product.

More so, its width just allows for four lanes, two in each direction. The rush to build was solely for the convenience of the engineering troops.

Although the bridge is considered of "inferior quality," its effect is significant.

After the completion of the bridge, the workers gathered in Yang City could be continuously transferred to North City.

At this point, the basic framework of North City had already been constructed, starting with a 50-kilometer-long perimeter wall.

Why call it just a wall? Because it was freshly laid with foundations, and the height was merely one meter.

This was definitely insufficient to fend off even Mutated insects.

But that was not a concern because Dragon Hall could confidently take charge of security.

A 50-kilometer wall might sound long, but it is actually only 50,000 meters.

Ye Feng only needed to dispatch 10,000 Mutated Red Fire Ants, spacing one every five meters, to guard and alert.

Ordinary Mutated insects wouldn’t stand a chance against these Second Order Peak Mutated Red Fire Ants.

If any Mutated Animals posed a threat, they could immediately call for help, enabling the Mutated Bird Flock in the air to handle the situation.

Thus, with the effort of nearly 200,000 workers in North City, the wall was constructed in just one day, and the next four days were spent on high-rise residential buildings.

The faster-constructed buildings already had their main structures erected up to the eighth or ninth floor.

Given this pace, the main structures could presumably be completed in a week, and it would take half a month to finish the walls, exteriors, windows, and doors.

If interior decorations aren’t considered, just a layer of plaster over the walls would make them suitable for occupation.

In fact, it isn’t the officials’ fault for such a rush. Yang City, in its current state, hasn’t even completed its first round of expansion and under normal circumstances could only accommodate five to six million people. However, it has been crammed with a population of 15 million.

Many people, upon their arrival, found nowhere to live and resorted to setting up tents on the streets to make do, consuming substantial manpower and resources every day just to maintain public order.

This chaos even began to affect the daily lives of Ye Feng’s parents.

After all, Donglin Street had also been flooded with a large influx of people; all hotels and residential houses were filled to the brim, and many residents had even temporarily accommodated others in their homes.

In such circumstances, petty theft was inevitable.

However, Chen Dalong was sensible. Upon receiving the news, he immediately dispatched a combat squad from the security company to maintain order.

Under the threat of loaded guns, Donglin Street could be considered the only neighborhood in the old city area where order still impeccably reigned.

It’s worth mentioning that Mad Dragon Security Company, after the crisis with Mutated insects ended, entered a phase of rapid development.

Firstly, the expansion of combat personnel went up to 500, which is the maximum number allowed by the officials.

Secondly, the Life Essence produced by its subsidiary, Golden Dragon Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., had always been in a state of demand exceeding supply.

Add to that, Chen Dalong had enough initial capital. While expanding facilities on the one hand, he was acquiring other companies on the other. Now, Golden Dragon Pharmaceuticals has a total of five processing plants.

All facilities together can produce up to 50,000 bottles of Life Essence daily. And as this product has no competitors due to exclusive agency rights, and with the help of Ye Feng in acquiring raw materials, the business is ludicrously profitable.
