Chapter 139 Reaching a Consensus
"Okay, don't worry about the mutant animals. We will arrange to help collect them as soon as possible." Zhang Ji said quickly.
The information given by the mutant parrot is too important. If it is confirmed to be true, the value of this ally will be greatly improved.
"Okay! That's the preliminary cooperation agreement. After you have determined the scope of the territory given to us, we will carry out in-depth cooperation later. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." The mutant parrot said.
All that should be discussed has been discussed. Ye Feng is unwilling to stay here and continue to quibble with the other party.
"This..." Zhang Ji didn't know what to say for a while. It was only 20 minutes before and after. The negotiation was over?
If it was a formal diplomatic occasion, it is estimated that the opening ceremony has not yet ended?
"What? Is there anything else?" The mutant parrot asked.
"Uh... No, how can we contact you after we have discussed it?" Zhang Ji asked
"At that time, you can just find the giant panda. He will stay here as an ambassador! Cooperate with your publicity work." The mutant parrot directly gave the giant panda a new identity.
"Okay! No problem, we will discuss the results as soon as possible and notify you." Zhang Ji said hurriedly.
The mutant parrot nodded, flew up with the mutant goshawk, and headed towards the direction of Sunset Valley.
Only the mutant giant panda was left in the field.
Seeing this scene, Du Gulan, who was staying in the distance, immediately ran over.
"Captain Zhang, how is the negotiation going? Is it going well?" Du Gulan asked a little nervously.
Because under normal circumstances, it is normal for negotiations to last for one or two days.
But now it was over in just 20 minutes, so her first thought was that the talks broke down and the other party flew away directly.
However, when she saw the giant panda left here, a little expectation rose in her heart.
"The negotiations went smoothly. We have reached a preliminary consensus. The follow-up is just a detailed discussion of the details. It can basically be regarded as a success."
"You will announce the success of the negotiations according to the plan decided before, and do a good job of guiding public opinion on this matter." Zhang Ji urged.
"Yes!" Du Gulan was relieved. Although she was surprised that they could come up with a result so quickly, as long as it went smoothly, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.
"By the way, the name of their organization is Dragon King Hall. This mutant giant panda is their ambassador. You can bring it with you when you live broadcast." Zhang Ji pointed to the giant panda that was still eating bamboo.
"Uh... that, it won't bite people!" Du Gulan looked at the huge panda that was three meters tall sitting on the ground, and her face was slightly afraid.
The other party's arm was thicker than her waist. If she slapped it, it would definitely break bones and tendons.
"Put away your previous thoughts and don't really treat them as animals. How do you know if it is pretending to be like this? Maybe it is just to confuse us to collect intelligence!" Zhang Ji said in a low voice.
Du Gulan looked at the giant panda and didn't think it was smart.
But at this moment, the giant panda that was chewing bamboo suddenly gave Zhang Ji a thumbs up.
At the same time, it made a howl, as if to express affirmation.
At this moment, not to mention Du Gulan, even Zhang Ji was a little dumbfounded. He swore to the sky that what he just said was half guesswork and half deception.
In other words, even he himself did not believe it.
But the scene in front of him...
What's going on? Could it be that the giant panda is also reincarnated from the ancient times?
One thought after another appeared in Zhang Ji's mind, but this did not prevent him from reacting immediately. He hurried over and said, "Sorry! Panda Ambassador, I didn't mean to say that just now."
Zhang Ji was really embarrassed at this time, as if he was saying bad things about others behind their backs, but was caught in person.
However, the giant panda waved its paws to indicate that it didn't care.
At this time, it stood up. With a height of 5 meters, it was extremely oppressive. It took a few steps to Du Gulan with a bamboo.
Then it stretched out its hand, pointed at itself, and then pointed at the camera in the distance.
"Why are you still standing there? The panda ambassador indicated that you can take it over for an interview." Zhang Ji's somewhat stern rebuke sounded, and Du Gulan woke up instantly.
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw this scene.
Yes, Ye Feng had already possessed the giant panda at this time.
Perhaps because the giant panda had been domesticated, its wildness was not strong. As Ye Feng continued to add points to it, after breaking through to the second level, its loyalty reached 100% smoothly.
If it wasn't like this, Ye Feng wouldn't have let the giant panda stay here alone, otherwise it would be stimulated and its beastly nature would be a mess.
If it gets angry, it can easily kill a group of people.
Of course, Ye Feng couldn't possess the giant panda at any time, after all, he had other things to do.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the wonderful use of mental power.
With mental power, he can do many things at once. He only needs to devote part of his energy to paying attention to the giant panda. Under normal circumstances, he doesn't need to pay attention to it. If he finds any special situation, he will immediately possess it and take over the other party's body.
After Du Gulan came to his senses, he adjusted his mood, and walked towards the camera in the distance with the giant panda with a smile on his face.
But soon Du Gulan discovered that the giant panda seemed to have returned to its previous silly appearance. It sat down in front of the camera and gnawed bamboo on its own without paying attention to anyone.
Although the giant panda didn't give face, the news Du Gulan brought back was shocking.
After she announced the news of the cooperation, the live broadcast room instantly became lively.
Gao Yifeng: "Great, the cooperation has finally been reached, and we can also invite mutant creatures to fight in the form of employment. Then we will never have to face the crisis of the previous two days! I don't want to be attacked by mutant creatures anymore. He ran away in all directions."
Shangshan Ruoshui: "I think it's better not to be happy too early. It's just a superficial agreement now. Who knows when we really face a crisis, those mutated creatures will come out to help, or they will add insult to injury. We should continue to be vigilant."
Sickness: "Doesn't anyone pay attention to the name of the mutant animal force? Dragon King Palace, this name is a bit too cool!"
In the live broadcast room, dense barrage went up.
Although there are some irrelevant comments, the vast majority of people only care about two things.
The first is what kind of benefits this cooperation can bring to Yangcheng City.
The second is whether the opponent will backstab at the critical moment.
However, the officials had already prepared for these things, and soon some professionals came out to comment, analyzing the pros and cons of cooperation, as well as various things that might happen.
Gradually guide public opinion in a good direction.
In addition, the official also officially announced at this time that a defensive wall would be built.
The response caused by this kind of thing is naturally very enthusiastic.
After experiencing the mutant biological crisis, all people actually have a strong sense of uneasiness.
Reaching cooperation with mutated animals can alleviate some of the worries, but the concerns are not without them.
The city wall building plan is completely different. This is something that can really make everyone feel at ease.
The only disadvantage may be that it is expensive, but to ordinary people, this does not matter much, after all, it is not their money.
On this day, the people were excited and jubilant, and many people spontaneously held celebrations. Many businesses even seized this opportunity and launched various discounts to stimulate consumption.
However, compared with the public, the senior officials were not so excited.
Half an hour later, the team of negotiators returned.
Zhang Ji went directly to the military's highest conference room.
When he entered, a group of military generals were already waiting here.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting!" said the division commander Bai Yinghui sitting at the head.
The chief of staff, Yi Jian, nodded, "Okay, let's move on to the first topic. How reliable do you think the information the mutant parrots gave us is?"
"I think the credibility of this information is over 90%."
Zhang Ji was the first to speak: "Actually, we have been wondering why these mutated creatures don't fight on their own."
"Before, I wondered whether leaders were born among these mutated creatures. Under their restraint, this kind of thing did not happen."
"But even if a leader is really born to restrain them, it is impossible to restrain every mutant creature. During the past two days of clearing out, I did an investigation, but I didn't find any trace of them attacking each other."
"Now, everything is explained."
After Zhang Ji finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the conference room.
It's not that they don't agree with Zhang Ji's analysis, but...
"I want to know why this is the case? Based on the instinct of living things, shouldn't the target of attack be judged according to its strength? Why should it be judged according to its evolutionary level?" Gao Duguang, who was sitting on the other side, asked what everyone was thinking. Confuse.
"I don't know." Zhang Ji shook his head, "Just like we don't know why spiritual energy causes these animals to mutate, instead of that, we might as well think about how to deal with this problem."
"That's right!" Bai Yinghui spoke at this time, diverting everyone's attention and said: "Since everyone has judged that this information is accurate, then there will be considerable deviations in some of our previous deductions. , for example, mutant creatures attack our time.”
"According to the previous estimation of the staff, we should still have half a month to a month to prepare, but now the time left for us is probably less than 10 days. The construction plan of the defensive wall must continue to be advanced."
"This little time is not even enough for us to make a simplified version of the city wall. It is estimated that we can only make a simplified version of the simplified version. So the next topic is to what extent this simplified version of the city wall should be built. , is considered to meet the minimum standard.”
At this time, Chief of Staff Yi Jian took out a stack of documents and distributed them. At the same time, he said: "This is the estimated data made by the intelligence department after exploring the surrounding environment of the city."
"In the Dongling Mountains alone, this area within 30 kilometers of our Yangcheng City has hundreds of times the number of mutated insects that live in our previous city. If you include the mutated insects in the surrounding area, you must be prepared to face it 200 times the enemy’s preparation.”
"The good news is that there are no mutant mice among these mutant creatures. The bad news is that the attack capabilities of many mutant insects far exceed those of mutant mosquitoes, mutant flies, and mutant cockroaches."
When Yi Jian said this, he looked at Zhang Ji and said, "Captain Zhang, you have the right to speak in this regard, why don't you say something."
"Okay! I won't say any more. I'll just give you some data. When my Sixth Regiment went to clear the Dongling Mountain Highway, a total of 456 soldiers were injured, 75 of whom were seriously injured and 13 died." Zhang Ji said.
His words immediately made all the generals present look serious.
They really didn't know that Zhang Ji led his team to clear the Yunyang Highway and suffered such heavy casualties.
"But you were doing a sweep at that time. If you fought a defensive battle, and with this experience, the level of casualties should be greatly reduced!" Gao Duguang couldn't help but say.
"You are right. If we fight a defensive battle and give me enough equipment, I can be sure to reduce the casualties to less than 40 people if we try again."
At this point, Zhang Ji sighed and continued: "But don't forget, the mutated insects I killed at that time were only first-order!"
After hearing this, the atmosphere in the venue was more than twice as solemn as before.
Everyone knows how big the gap is between the first level and the second level.
Take mutant mosquitoes as an example. The first-level mutant mosquitoes are actually terrifying. If you are bitten by one, a big bump will swell up.
But even so, anyone can slap it to death.
However, when these mutant mosquitoes reach the second level, things are different. The institute has given data that 50 second-level mutant mosquitoes may bite an adult to death.
Therefore, between the first level and the second level, their combat effectiveness has directly increased by an order of magnitude.
Seeing the silence in the audience, Zhang Ji continued: "So my suggestion is that no matter how simplified the defensive city wall is, the height should not be less than three meters, and the supporting defensive weapons should not be less than 30%. Otherwise, the casualties of our soldiers may be It will be very disastrous.”
Hearing this, Bai Yinghui turned his attention to Yi Jian.
However, Yi Jian shook his head, "I'm afraid it's too late. In 10 days, we can only build about two meters at most. After all, this is a city wall of more than 150 kilometers."
"If we don't have enough manpower, we can mobilize volunteers. I believe it won't be a problem to mobilize tens of thousands of laborers." Bai Yinghui said with a slight frown.
"Labor is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is materials, especially rock."
"After all, what we are building is not a wall, but a city wall that must be at least 5 meters wide. The consumption of rocks is the largest and most terrifying."
"But the wilderness is too dangerous now. Just defending the force requires a lot of manpower. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to collect rocks quickly." Yi Jian directly stated the difficulty.
However, when Bai Yinghui heard this, there was no disappointment on his face. Instead, he turned his attention to Zhang Ji and asked, "Do you think it is feasible for us to hand over the security work directly to the Dragon King Palace?"
