My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 369 - 359 Local News

Chapter 369 -359 Local News

Ever since he had successfully developed the “Recovery Potion,” Tang Yu began to ‘inflate’. He had already taken Pharmacy as his primary focus.

“I’ve always been unable to recruit a Pharmacist, so I can only rely on myself, which has kept me well-fed and well-clothed.”

In the afternoon, he headed to the workshop to produce a batch of advanced rune equipment that the assembly line couldn’t manufacture and took the opportunity to browse the market and tavern—when there was plenty of Source Crystals, he would occasionally perform a high Consuming Crystal summoning operation. However, Tang Yu constantly reminded himself to do the Consuming Crystal summoning only once a day, to avoid a gambler’s mentality and losing a large number of Source Crystals in a short period of time.

These days,

The B-grade potential followers summoned were mostly from the Warrior profession, unadvanced Basic professions, and he chose not to contract with them.

Only one B-grade potential Mage named “Kenrak,” who was also an unadvanced Basic profession but excelled at making Spell Scrolls, had been summoned by him.

The afternoons were usually less scheduled.

Apart from Consuming Crystal summoning, there was inspecting the Territory and daily reports from the various departments.

At night, challenging the “Trial Tower” and other practical combat training in the Spirit Space.

This peaceful life continued for three consecutive days.

“Lord, the latest edition of the Intelligence Department’s news has arrived.”

Shay walked into the castle with a stack of encrypted letters.

The Intelligence Department, with resources invested more than that of two Corps, expanded rapidly under the leadership of its chief, Grey Blade.

Currently, every large Sanctuary in Tiannan Province has staff from the Intelligence Department, and Awakeners from the department were active in Luoxia’s province, including several neighboring major provinces.

The reach of his Territory had already spread in all directions, far removed from the initial days when information came from hearsay.

Tang Yu took the papers, unfolding them one by one, his expression gradually becoming serious and grave.

“A large Sanctuary in Yulin Province was destroyed by the Demon Tide. The battle reportedly did not involve any Transcendents or Pseudo-Transcendents, yet millions of Demonized Beasts behaved like an army—orderly advances and retreats, specialization, coordination, with beasts responsible for attacking the city and those for fire support, timing their strikes perfectly…”

There was a note from the Intelligence Department that followed: “High likelihood of a Demon Tide commander.”

The reason mankind had withstood the Demon Tide with tall city walls was largely due to the extremely low intelligence of the Demonized Beasts, which often mindlessly charged the walls. Once the Demon Tide operated like a disciplined army, Tang Yu could envision how a vast Sanctuary with walls tens of meters high could still be breached.

“A large Sanctuary in Dongming Province experienced a Level Five Demon Tide, accompanied by a suspected Transcendent entity. The Sanctuary was destroyed, and less than one percent of the survivors managed to escape.”

“The Sea View Sanctuary encountered an attack by a Sea Beast Tide, with over half the city wall damaged. During the attack, a super Sea Beast over a hundred meters long, suspected to be Transcendent, appeared. In the end, the Sea View Sanctuary unleashed a golden giant sword. Its phantom enveloped the entire sky and wounded the super Sea Beast, which caused the Sea Beast Tide to eventually recede.”

It was a treasure from a Secret Realm.

By rank, it may surpass the category of rune Equipment and indeed be worthy of the title of treasure.

Tang Yu made a mental note and continued reading.

“Two hundred kilometers north of the Luoxia Sanctuary, traces of Skeleton Clan activity were detected, investigation underway…”

“In Dongming Province, a large Sanctuary had several leaders attacked by mysterious assailants, and it is suspected that the Sanctuary is under the control of a group of mysterious people.”

There was a remark by Grey Blade that followed: “The mysterious people could be Awakeners from the Fourth Epoch.”

He continued reading.

“A vast lake appeared suddenly in the southern part of Cloud Lake Province, suspected to be connected to a folding space.”

“A Secret Realm was discovered in the northern part of Tiannan Province…”

“One hundred and thirty kilometers east of Shuo Lake City, a Secret Realm was discovered…”

“…”

Having read the intelligence report, he passed it to Shay, who was craning his neck next to him, trying to see but unable to.

His fingers tapped the desktop unconsciously.

In recent times, the number of anomalies appearing across the land far exceeded that of the past few months, especially the destruction of large Sanctuaries; there were too many.

Even though these Sanctuaries were far away in other provinces and had no direct relation to him, he couldn’t help but feel weighed down by the shared human plight, having fallen from the top of the food chain to mere survivors.

“We must fortify our Territory to be as impregnable as a fortress, able to resist any invading enemy!”

After some thought, he said to Shay, “Send Luo Zhe to the two newly discovered Secret Realms as soon as possible… hmm, we can deploy the Floating Airships.”

He paused for a moment, “And call Chen Haiping and the deputy head of the Equipment Department to see me.”

It wasn’t until Shay left that Tang Yu felt increasingly that the secretary team… Guard Team needed to be set up quickly.

When Chen Haiping and the others arrived, Tang Yu was examining the sand table before him.

The sand table displayed the area surrounding Green Shadow, stretching north to the Lindong Sanctuary, south to the satellite city of Lingshan, westward to the Creekwood Outpost, and beyond that lay an abstract map.

After occupying Lingshan City, Tang Yu had not entirely cleared it out, choosing only to move most of the survivors.

About five thousand survivors now lived in Lingshan’s satellite city, mostly engaged in timber harvesting and stone quarrying, while Green Shadow hosted thirty thousand ordinary survivors and more than ten thousand permanent Awakeners.

It also had a total of three outposts, including the Creekwood Outpost.

Compared to Jing City, the scale was still far less.

What they lacked the most were survivors; the progress of construction work was too slow.

Tang Yu felt helpless; moving survivors from other Sanctuaries to Green Shadow was not an easy task, especially since the transportation on the Green Lin Line had been suspended, making it even more troublesome.

“Can the Green Lin Line be restored?” he asked, turning his head.

“The train has been tested a few times, but control failures have occurred. The authorities in Lindong believe it is not suitable for travel,” Chen Haiping thought for a moment, “Not just the train, trucks, and armored vehicles also have great difficulty in operating. Large Sanctuaries like Lindong probably installed a large amount of anti-interference equipment to barely maintain functionality, but occasional internal component damage still occurs.”

Lindong was beyond hope, perhaps they also didn’t place much importance on the Green Lin Line.

“How about our Source Energy Train? Any progress there?”

“The research on the Source Energy Train is proceeding smoothly, with no major problems encountered. The day before yesterday, we transported several ordinary trains back through the Floating Airship. We plan to convert these into Source Energy Trains, which could significantly shorten the project timeline. If all goes well, we could see results within half a month.”

“Still too long,” Tang Yu paced before looking at the deputy head of the Equipment Department, “Add one million to the budget for the research and manufacturing of the Source Energy Train. The Municipal Department and the Armed Department will fully support you. I want to see results in ten days, the sooner, the better!”

The deputy head nodded earnestly.

“Once the Source Energy Train is manufactured, restore the Green Lin Line’s operation immediately. Also…” he walked to the side of the sand table, fiddling with it and drawing a line, “starting now, the Municipal Department will construct a second railway, originating from Green Shadow, passing through Lingshan’s satellite city, and finally reaching the Nanqing Sanctuary.”

This would become the second route to be developed.

The basic resources mined from Lingshan’s satellite city would be conveniently and quickly transported back to Green Shadow via train.
