Chapter 499 Tunnel x Through

The food alone is enough for the Revolutionary Army to use for half a year.

Mori's construction speed was so fast that the [Worker Bees] and [Insect People] couldn't keep up.

Xia Jieren is very satisfied with Mori's work attitude.

Not only did he not delay any payment for the project, he even introduced the Deep Blue Route to the Revolutionary Army to help them transport supplies secretly.

The cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Today, the tunnel connecting the West Sea to the East Sea, South China Sea, North Sea and the Great Route has been fully opened.

[Worker Bees], [Insect People] and various workers are making the final decorations and adjustments.

A steady stream of insects poured into the tunnel.

When the navy, pirates and other forces learned that the tunnel was open, after a brief surprise, they all wanted to destroy the tunnel.

[The Kingdom of the Netherlands] engaged in a fierce battle with various forces around the tunnel entrance.

Among them, the [World Government] is the most hard-working.

[The World Government] strives to curb exchanges between islands and between seas.

This action of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] undoubtedly disrupted the layout of the [World Government].

The people who were most happy about the completion of the tunnel were the merchants from various sea areas.

With the [Red Soil Continent Tunnel] connecting various sea areas, not only is the safety of merchants guaranteed, but the time spent traveling back and forth between various sea areas will also be greatly reduced.

time is money!

It can be expected that business will achieve unprecedented development in the coming period of time.

That's exactly what happened.

[Umbrella Group], [Global Transport Group], [Hydra Group], [Cyberpunk], and [Infinite Group] responded one after another.

Driven by them, other businessmen or chambers of commerce, big and small, flocked in.

Even with the pressure from the [World Government], it could not stop these businessmen’s enthusiasm for making money, which fully demonstrates what it means that “money makes the world go round”.

The decrees issued by the [World Government] become less and less binding over time.

In the end, even the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce was involved.

Based on this, the [Red Earth Continent Tunnel] has become very busy.

Standing at the entrance of the tunnel, Xia Jieren looked at the 20-meter-high and 100-meter-diameter Red Soil Continental Tunnel with his heart pounding.

Accompanied by everyone, Xia Jieren stepped in.

The inside of the tunnel was not dark, but rather very bright.

There are lights installed on the top of the tunnel every two meters.

Xia Jieren glanced around.

The walls inside the entire tunnel are very smooth, and you can tell at a glance that they have been carefully polished.

The tunnel can be roughly divided into three parts.

On the left is an artificial canal 50 meters wide and 40 meters deep, allowing most large transport ships or warships to pass through.

In the middle is a flat road about 10 meters wide.

It is planned to lay multiple railways in the remaining area on the right to enable the [Sea Train] to pass smoothly.

Now, the artificial canal and road have been completed.

Railway construction has just begun.

"Such a large project would take several years even for our motherland, Blue Star, which is known as the 'infrastructure maniac'."

"And now..."

Thinking of this, Xia Jieren couldn't help but feel deeply moved: "[Devil Fruit] is simply amazing!"

The whole world becomes more colorful because of it.

After expressing his emotion, Xia Jieren continued to appreciate this huge project.

At this time, a soldier came running to report: "Sir, the navy and the World Government fleet were spotted in the direction of Paradise!"

Xia Jieren's heart sank. He knew that the World Government would not give up easily. He immediately ordered, "Prepare for battle! We must not let them destroy our hard work!"

The soldiers responded one after another and quickly entered combat mode. A fierce naval battle was about to begin...

The sea breeze whistled, the flags fluttered, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

Thousands of bugs swarmed in like a tide, pouncing on the enemy fleet with their fangs and claws bared!

These creepy creatures are full of malice and cruelty, as if they want to devour everything.

Every bug is so crazy that they rush towards their target at amazing speed.

The enemy fleet seemed a little panicked by the sudden attack, but they quickly organized a defensive force to try to resist the invasion of the Zerg.

However, the large number of bugs and their rapid movements made it difficult for the fleet to defend themselves.

I saw [electromagnetic bugs], [plasma bugs], and [laser bugs] joining the battlefield and engaging in fierce firefights with human warships.

Both sides opened fire at full force and for a moment the entire battlefield was filled with flames and smoke.

Soon after, the enemy fleet was defeated, the Zerg suffered heavy losses, and the newly built facilities at the tunnel entrance suffered severe damage.

Xia Jieren frowned when he saw the mess on the ground.

He looked around and finally fixed his sight on the magnificent [Red Earth Continent].

"Kerrigan, build artillery positions on the cliffs of the [Red Earth Continent], and deploy [cannon bugs], [electromagnetic bugs], [plasma bugs], and [laser bugs] to strengthen defense capabilities." Xia Jieren pointed at the [Red Earth Continent] and gave the order.

"Yes!" Kerrigan agreed and took quick action.

The next day.

[Red Earth Continent] There are countless small holes on the cliffs.

Although it is called a small hole, its diameter is about one meter. It can also provide protection when the Zerg units with long-range attacks shoot.

At the same time, Xia Jieren sent a team of [worker bees] to the damaged area to carry out repair work.

A few days later, all the turrets and Zerg units were deployed, and the damaged facilities were restored to their original state.

Xia Jieren stood on a high place, overlooking his masterpiece, with a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

However, he understood that the war had just begun.

With this in mind, Xia Jieren deployed tens of thousands of [Sea King Worms] on the seabed near the tunnel entrance.

At the same time, in the vast spaces that have been excavated inside the [Red Earth Continent], countless flying units are sleeping.

After everything was ready, the [Red Soil Continent Tunnel] was officially put into operation.

Countless merchant ships flocked to the area.

They lined up neatly in front of the toll booth and entered one by one.

Merchant ships loaded with cargo passed safely through the tunnel under the escort of the Zerg.

The businessmen's faces were filled with excitement and anticipation; they knew that this tunnel would bring them huge wealth.

However, the peaceful scene did not last long.

One day, a mysterious fleet appeared on the sea. Their flag had a skull on it, symbolizing death and fear.

This fleet is none other than the infamous Scar Pirates from Paradise.

They coveted the merchant ships passing through the tunnel, attempting to plunder their wealth.

Seeing the familiar pirate flag, many merchant ships fell into panic.

However, they had not yet received the order to set sail and escape.

Suddenly, dozens of huge [Sea King Worms] broke out of the water, biting the hull with their ferocious mouths and dragging the pirate ships into the sea.

The merchants were silent for a moment, and then burst into cheers.
