Chapter 376 - Gao Ye Reappears (1/2)
Normal citizens like his father and mother were not the only ones who were leaning more toward the ideals of the Home Party. Meng Chao also knew that a lot of business owners and politicians in the Survival Committee were leaning toward the Home Party as well.
Based on what Zhao Feixuan told him, these politicians were proactively advocating for a special budget from the Survival Committee to perform a full upgrade of the defense system in all the old residential areas.
Blessed Heavenly Garden was Zhao Feixuan’s prototype project.
If they managed to pass the budget, around one thousand old residential areas would have their defense systems renewed. The budget for it would be astronomical, but so would the profit. Zhao Feixuan’s new company, which he built himself after he left Standard Firepower, might rise to the top in one go.
Of course, the more resources were poured into the city defense, the fewer resources would be given to the advance in the wild.
The Colonization Party and Home Party would definitely argue fiercely in the Survival Committee over the special budget, because the amount of money involved was just astronomical.
Meng Chao had yet to decide which side to bet on.
Based on his previous life’s experience, the Colonization Party’s fierce strategy was just like a raving dog, and it would only lead to Dragon City self-destructing.
But the Home Party had not managed to make their proposition come true in his previous life, either.
Besides, Meng Chao knew just how terrifying the Other World was. He did not believe that just because they did not offend the enemy, the enemy would choose not to attack them.
For the moment, the godlike beings in the Other World had not yet discovered Dragon City’s existence.
When the space-time fog disappeared, the terrifying existences that shall not be named would cast their bloodthirsty gazes on Dragon City, and no matter how kind, friendly, and peace-loving the Dragon Citizens appeared to be and how much they showed that they would not bother anyone else, they would still treat Dragon Citizens like ants and weeds and destroy them.
On a tactical level, Meng Chao was unwilling to cut the throats of Other World children who had no grudges against him.
But on a strategic level, for the sake of Dragon City and Earth’s safety, he could not agree with the Home Party’s cowardly strategy.
After all, as long as humanity was strong enough, they could turn Dragon City into troublemakers for the many races of the Other World by attacking them first, then interfering or even controlling their conflicts. This was absolutely necessary for them.
Yet there were still sinister and cunning abnormal beasts lurking in Blue Home!
Meng Chao told himself that if he really wanted to work with the Home Party, he first had to get rid of the malignant tumor hidden in Blue Home and think of a way to change some of the thoughts among Blue Home members.
Of course, it would be for the best if nothing happened to Project 101. If they really did manage to clear the tunnel between the Other World and Earth, everything would be great.
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao was quite supportive of Blue Home’s expansion. He even used his resources from Agricultural University, Yan Organization, Superstar, the Broken Star Club, and other areas to help them.
He also used the chance to get in touch with the elites of various industries in Dragon City.
With memories from his previous life, he managed to help these elites gain enlightenment and benefitted by teaching them future martial arts, skills, and thought processes. This allowed him to gain a lot of contribution points and become friends with the elites.
Meng Chao believed that one of these days, when he “predicted” the future through some unbelievable method, these friends would be able to serve their purpose.
But he still paid the most attention to Zhao Feixuan.
He believed that Zhao Feixuan was the abnormal beasts’ next target for bewitchment after Lin Chuan and Gao Ye.
The abnormal beasts had to be planning a major event that would shock the world. It couldn’t be far away.
The logic behind it was simple: humanity had too smooth of a time with the offense outside Dragon City.
Even though their military force was scattered and it took much longer to provide them with supplies, they were getting closer to the satellite cities that they had lost contact with.
The armored airships from the Red Dragon City spent day and night scouting Dragon City’s perimeter at low altitude.
Even though they suffered rather devastating losses in terms of armored airships due to the interference of the fog, wind force, and flying-type monsters, they managed to map out a lot of the terrain that was covered in fog during the war.
They could now provide firing data for the artillery troops and had discovered villages and towns that had been separated from the main city area for nearly sixty years. The villages and towns were all scattered deep within Monster Mountain Range.
The monsters were gradually forming their own civilization.
There were advantages and disadvantages to this.
The disadvantage was that the monsters could not possibly use the caves in the mountains to ensure the survival of their civilization.
If a monster civilization existed, it meant that they had to have their own city.
As long as they found an abnormal beast city and gathered their firepower together or even used a major murder weapon like Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon to completely destroy it, the Monster War would come to an end a few years before what happened in Meng Chao’s previous life.
With this sort of situation around, Meng Chao did not believe that the abnormal beasts would be able to keep calm and continue with their strategy of damaging Dragon City bit by bit. After all, it did not do much, especially after Meng Chao had given a reminder to the abnormal beast research department, and the department as well as other related departments set up necessary defenses. The poking of holes in Dragon City no longer had great effect.
The abnormal beasts did not have time to fight for a long time with humans.
After Meng Chao linked all his previous life’s memories together, he knew that Blue Home was definitely a major target that the abnormal beasts were set on conquering based on how it had disappeared without a trace and how Zhao Feixuan had ended up as a lost person in his previous life.
After becoming friends with Zhao Feixuan, Meng Chao gained a preemptive understanding of his circle of friends.
