#174 - Chapter 174 Dongfang Chen's Warning

"Do the construction workers need to be recruited from our resettlement area?"

"No, our branch is completely automated construction and does not require manual intervention," Niu Xingwang replied.

"Hiss ~!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

What kind of technical strength is this? Fully automated construction? No manual intervention needed? Why haven't we heard of such advanced construction technology before?

With everyone's questions resolved, arrangements became efficient and swift.

After settling the matters, the Chamber of Commerce arranged for a plane to send everyone back to the resettlement area.

At the same time, the military and council representatives who had gone to observe the Mercenary Guild also returned to the Chamber of Commerce after their observation. Yan Zhengping and Zong Zhengyue also stood up to bid farewell and left the base with the others.

Thus, the founding celebration of the Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild headquarters came to a successful end.

......

Inside the main base.

It was already late at night.

"Brother Niu, Brother Zhang, you've worked hard today! Come, a toast to you both!" Dongfang Chen raised his glass.

"Cheers!" The two of them didn't hesitate, raising their glasses and drinking them dry.

"Mr. Dongfang, you are truly resourceful! How many months has it been? Not only have you built such a grand underground base in Binjiang, but you've also gotten the council to support our Chamber of Commerce and Guild. It's truly unimaginable!" Niu Xingwang exclaimed.

"Yes, unimaginable! Little Chen used to be a regular customer at my shop. To be honest, he was always very frugal when buying things. Who would have thought he was a hidden master!" Zhang Yuankui echoed.

"The rapid expansion of our Chamber of Commerce's business is mainly due to the emergence of the zombie rats. Without this opportunity, it would have cost us a great deal to achieve the situation we have today," Dongfang Chen said.

"That's right, the zombie rats really did us a big favor! What do you think they would feel if they knew that what we buried in the resettlement area wasn't an ultrasonic transmitter?" Zhang Yuankui said carelessly.

He didn't completely know what was buried, only that it was a very intelligent robot.

"Brother Zhang, never mention this again in the future. Walls have ears, so be careful and extra cautious. From today onwards, everyone should keep the ultrasonic transmitter a secret and refrain from discussing it in any setting," Dongfang Chen said seriously.

"Okay!" Although the two didn't know why Dongfang Chen had suddenly become so cautious, they would just follow orders.

"Mr. Dongfang, has something happened?" Niu Xingwang felt that Dongfang Chen's reaction was abnormal.

"You're not outsiders, so it's okay to tell you. But I still have the same request: this matter is of great importance, and it must not be discussed again after leaving this room," Dongfang Chen said.

"Okay!" The two also became serious and solemnly agreed.

"A big shot came during the zombie attack tonight," Dongfang Chen said.

"What big shot?" Zhang Yuankui asked.

"A Saint from the Scarlet Robe Sect," Dongfang Chen said.

"A Saint?" The two were a little surprised, but it wasn't too unexpected.

"That's right. The reason this matter is important is that, from now on, our interior is not absolutely safe either. Based on what we learned today, the Saint doesn't need to wear a mask. This means that the other party can easily sneak in. This is also the main reason why I forbid you from discussing these secrets in any setting. Now is the time when the Chamber of Commerce and the Guild are recruiting a large number of people, so it's easy for the other party to sneak in," Dongfang Chen explained.

"Then do we have any countermeasures?" Niu Xingwang asked.

If there might be an invisible eye watching from behind at any time, it would be difficult to do things without being constrained.

"Yes, but not 100%. If the other party is very cautious and doesn't reveal any flaws, we won't be able to identify them," Dongfang Chen replied.

Like Gu Qingyi, the secret art user beside Mei Wenhua, Dongfang Chen always felt that there was something wrong, but for so long, no anomalies had been detected.

"It seems that we need to be extra careful at all times in the future," Niu Xingwang sighed.

"This is also a good thing. We've been living too comfortably lately, which isn't a good thing. Having such an enemy to spur us on will help us develop better," Dongfang Chen said.

"That's right! Just like the zombie rats, it's a crisis, but it's also an opportunity for us," Zhang Yuankui said.

"In short, don't discuss this matter in public. Everyone should just pretend they don't know, and I'll take care of the rest," Dongfang Chen said.

"Okay!" The two agreed.

"Next, the two of you will be busy. We are racing against time. Time is already tight, and with the potential for enemies to sabotage us, we need to speed up the progress even more," Dongfang Chen said.

"Don't worry! For both public and private reasons, we are duty-bound!" Zhang Yuankui replied.

Zhang Yuankui sincerely believed that the Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild were doing something great to save all of humanity, and this lofty vision deeply fascinated him.
