#384 - Chapter 384 Lingtian Returns to Ulan Country

Dongfang Chen's approach actually had potential risks.

The two most important things supporting the network's operation: electricity and communication, were completely in the hands of the Mercenary Guild. This could lead to the guild also facing an anti-monopoly investigation by the council, and the severity would be no less than that of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

But he didn't care, a fine is just a fine, anyway, it will eventually come back to his own pocket.

As of today, the task of enhancing the influence of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild can come to an end.

Now that the conditions are basically mature, the next phase of the plan can be initiated: constructing underground survival bases.

Again, the resettlement areas must build underground bases, and they must build them voluntarily, willing to spend money and resources to build them.

Even for the sake of completing the space station mission, Dongfang Chen believed that he should never act like a nanny.

So why would the person in charge of the resettlement area spend money to build this underground base? There must be a reason, so it's inevitable to play the white face and do some tricks in secret.

October 20, 2055.

Early in the morning, an old-fashioned steam train crossed the border and drove straight into the territory of Ulan.

Now that sentry towers have been deployed, Dongfang Chen received the news immediately and opened the real-time feed.

Without a doubt, this train came from Kultak.

Their target was naturally the iron tower in the Ulahahn district of Bato City.

Dongfang Chen smiled slightly, planning to have some fun with them. He could say with great confidence that anyone who came uninvited should not expect to leave in good shape.

From the border to Bato City, there were still more than 300 kilometers to go. At their current speed, it would take at least another 5 hours or so. Taking advantage of this time, he sent planes to transport 100,000 simulated spider robots and 10,000 flying robots over.

In addition, he also asked the Queen Bee on Bato City's side to make an extra little gift as a parting gift for them.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived in Bato.

Dongfang Chen could naturally destroy those trains at any time, but he did not choose to do so. Because he planned to let some people go back, if he destroyed the trains, they would definitely not be able to return.

The train station in Bato City was in the Baler district, some distance from the iron tower in the Ulahahn district.

They drove all the armored vehicles, cars, and tanks towed on the train down, and spent some time moving the supplies in the train carriages. After tossing around for 2 hours, they started off, heading south.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived near the iron tower.

In order to make it easier for them to find the location, Dongfang Chen also drew a warning line on the ground, "very humane".

Sure enough, everyone stopped outside the warning line.

Of course, they weren't stupid, there was always a car leading the way in the front. If there was danger, the cars behind would stop in time.

The car doors opened, and everyone got out.

Ling Tian, as the guide, acted as a scout.

A group of people stood in front of the warning line, talking gibberish, it seemed that these people didn't believe there was any protective circle here.

"Xiao Lin, synchronize the sound over here," Dongfang Chen suddenly had an idea.

The video itself had no sound, but Ling Tian had a bug implanted in his body, which could synchronize the sound on the bug with the picture.

In this way, the silent movie would become a talking movie, which would be much more enjoyable to watch.

"Ling Tian, is this the protective circle you mentioned?"

"Yes, Master. It's just that there was no line on the ground at that time, they must have drawn it later," Ling Tian explained.

"A lime line can block the dung beetle army?" The Master didn't believe it.

"Absolutely!" Ling Tian vowed.

At this time, a person next to him picked up a stone and threw it into the warning line. The stone successfully flew in and landed on the ground. Then it rolled forward for a distance and stopped, without any damage.

"It's okay," the person next to him said.

"Stones have no life, so it's definitely okay to throw them in," Ling Tian justified.

"Ling Tian, how long are you going to lie? Since stones are okay, then bullets and shells are okay too, right? Didn't you say that this protective circle can protect against all attacks? How do you explain it now?" The Master retorted.

"Master, don't worry, let's try it first. How about this, you throw a rabbit in to see," Ling Tian ordered the cyborg next to him.

The cyborg turned and walked to a cage, picked up a rabbit, and walked back.

He violently threw the rabbit into the warning line, without any pity.

The rabbit fell on the ground and struggled a few times, then limped away, still without any damage.

This was strange.

Ling Tian was completely overwhelmed, sweating profusely.

"Could it be that this protective circle has failed?" He suddenly had such a question.

"What else do you have to explain now?" The Master asked dissatisfiedly when he saw that the rabbit was fine.

"Master, there must be a problem. Right, right, right, rabbits have no aggressiveness, that must be it," Ling Tian came up with a new hypothesis.

The Master stared at him, speechless.
