Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 353 - 233 Alliance Formed, Confronting the Forbidden Zone_2

Chapter 353: Chapter 233 Alliance Formed, Confronting the Forbidden Zone_2

Liu Zaoxin soon left.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng was also busy. While adding Evolution Points, he was also optimizing his spiritual power structure, eager to develop his Spiritual Power Techniques as quickly as possible.

...

After returning, Liu Zaoxin immediately reported the situation with the Mutated Iron Birch Tree.

When both the national leadership and Bai Yinghui learned of the connection between that gigantic tree and the Dragon King, they all felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

"So even the Dragon King has weaknesses, that’s good. Later I will consider devising two sets of contingencies specifically for emergencies," Bai Yinghui said with a smile, stroking his chin.

Liu Zaoxin naturally knew what the "emergencies" referred to and he shook his head, saying, "I advise against it."

"Why?" Bai Yinghui asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because some actions leave traces once you take them. Our Yang City has become the focus of other countries, and I’m afraid spies from abroad have been sent here."

"If the preparations you make are discovered, they could use that information to drive a wedge between us and Dragon Hall. We would be in a passive position then," Liu Zaoxin earnestly said.

Bai Yinghui frowned slightly, understanding these concerns, but as a military man principally concerned with the safety of the populace, he couldn’t be without any means of retaliation.

Seeing that Bai Yinghui still did not seem to grasp his meaning, Liu Zaoxin pointed upwards and said, "I’ve reported this matter to the higher-ups. The things we shouldn’t do will naturally be taken care of by others."

Bai Yinghui nodded his head in understanding upon hearing this. It wasn’t that he was slow to react, but rather that he was accustomed to dealing with issues personally and had not initially thought in that direction.

Liu Zaoxin continued, "Don’t worry about the Mutated Iron Birch Tree, but you’ll still be busy with other things. Based on the intelligence provided by the Mutated Parrot, there’s been new activity in the Small Phoenix Mountain Forbidden Zone."

"Although the provincial military is primarily responsible for that area, we must also be prepared to respond to unforeseen events."

"What!" Bai Yinghui exclaimed in shock. If the Dragon King posed a potential risk, the Forbidden Zone represented a real and present threat.

He quickly asked what was going on, and Liu Zaoxin relayed the intelligence he had received in full detail.

Bai Yinghui knitted his brows upon hearing this. If they could not take direct action against the Different Space, their means of containing the Forbidden Zone were indeed very limited.

Observing Bai Yinghui deep in thought, Liu Zaoxin said, "I should be going now; I’ll probably be busy tonight."

...

After spending the whole night adding points and practicing, Ye Feng exhaled slowly as the sun began to rise the next day.

"The progress in my practice is pretty good. With the experience from before, creating a Sixth Order Spiritual Power Technique now feels a lot faster. If I can maintain this rate, I shouldn’t need a week to come up with a technique that completely fits me," Ye Feng said, in a good mood.

As for the addition of points, he only needed to allocate a portion of his spiritual power to the task and let the system handle the rest.

Overnight, he had completed over forty thousand additions of points, with the length of the tree roots increasing by more than 4,000 meters. This rapid sense of becoming stronger made him somewhat emotional.

And at his current rate, he estimated that by about 11 in the morning, he would almost be finished adding points, accumulating a total of 6,000 Evolution Points, and ready to break through to Mid-level Six.

Ye Feng had no intention of waiting; he planned to enhance his level as quickly as possible to reach the Peak of Sixth Order.

After all, he had already given Liu Zaoxin a heads-up that his growth would be rapid in the coming days. That made sense, didn’t it?

After checking his condition, Ye Feng used his spiritual power to operate his phone and began reading the news.

As he had expected, after informing Liu Zaoxin about the situation in the Forbidden Zone, the country had acted overnight.

Early in the morning, several international news sections shared a common headline.

"Alliance Formed to Contend with the Forbidden Zone"

Clearly, the national leadership had seized the issue of the Forbidden Zone to significantly push forward the establishment of the alliance.

Otherwise, such cooperation between countries, even if solely for dealing with the threat of the Forbidden Zone, would hardly have been completed so swiftly.

But when faced with an external threat, the situation changes.

Of course, even though the alliance has been established, the main members are still those countries that have cooperation with Hua Country.

And it is primarily small nations that form the core, as for the big nations, they are still observing the situation for now.

This is normal, and once the first step is taken, it’s good; you can continuously absorb more member states afterward.

It is worth mentioning that America was not to be outdone and surprisingly announced its intention to establish a "federation" with the goal of confronting the forbidden zones’ threat.

However, there were very few responders.

After all, following the crises of mutated insects, the great earthquake, and the cold disaster, America’s national power has been continuously declining, and its dominant status has started to waver.

In this context, some of America’s former allies now assume a wait-and-see attitude too.

Ye Feng was purely watching for fun, and this kind of issue didn’t require his worry; with a brief understanding of the situation, he turned off the international news and began to read domestic news.

Compared to foreign countries, the domestic public’s interest in forbidden zones is not so high.

At least not as high as the topic of cold disasters.

After all, Hua Country was the first to suppress the forbidden zones, and it did so in one fell swoop—three zones at once.

In this context, the national self-confidence has surged, leading to an unruffled attitude towards the threat of forbidden zones.

Compared to that, the cold disaster poses a greater trouble for them.

Ye Feng casually clicked on one of the popular posts dealing with the cold disaster response, and the most upvoted comment was this:

"The simplest way to deal with the cold disaster is, of course, to head to Yang City, which solves all the problems at once. And then you won’t have to worry about any natural disasters or crises caused by mutated beings."

As a result, many discussions evolved from this, but they basically boil down to one question—how can one manage to travel to Yang City?

After all, the present time is not like the peaceful past when you could travel to any city in Hua Country via various means of transportation; even taking a long bike ride was possible if you weren’t afraid of wasting time.

But with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, the wilderness has become so dangerous that travel is now the biggest challenge.

Hence, for ordinary people, reaching Yang City is not so easy, apart from the fixed trains and planes; other methods are challenging.

And the various methods proposed by netizens are certainly diverse, for instance, modifying vehicles to be as sturdy as armored cars.

Or finding those supply vehicles heading to Yang City and figuring out a way to sneak in and hide among them.

Most of the methods suggested online are unreliable, but that does not mean there aren’t feasible ones.

For example, one of them is organizing enough people to collectively fund and invite a security company to provide an escort.

This method is feasible; for instance, if there are 100 people, each contributing 10,000 Huaxia Currency, that adds up to 1 million, which is enough to hire most security companies for escort services.

If one considers safety, they could even add more money to hire a better security company.

Many people even post online seeking partners, and this topic has become quite popular for a time.

"Tsk! They really do talk it up," Ye Feng couldn’t help but remark.

But it was then that he saw a convoy driving past the road in front of Sunset Valley, consisting of 3 buses and 5 modified off-road vehicles.

Especially notable was that the 5 off-road vehicles were welded with heavy machine guns, and Ye Feng knew at a glance that they belonged to some security company.

But after a cursory glance, his eyes widened a bit, for the 3 buses were packed with people, all carrying large and small pieces of luggage.

At that moment, many bold individuals opened their windows, took out their mobile phones, and clicked away at the giant tree above them, their actions followed by sounds of amazement and cheers.
