Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 393 - 390: Southwest Jungle
"What major event?" Bai Pu asked.
Li Ling briefly replied, "An abnormal gathering of mutant beasts has been observed in the mutated jungle southwest of Jiangnan Base City. Someone has glimpsed the silhouette of a giant beast. It seems a new Spirit Realm Plane might have partially overlapped with the real world."
"A new Boundary Land?"
Interest flickered in Bai Pu’s eyes.
A Boundary Land could offer numerous benefits.
If the conditions of the Boundary Land were suitable, it could be developed into a comprehensive site for Awakened cultivation and trade. Every Awakened entering the Boundary Land would need to pay Spiritual Points, which would mean a continuous stream of income.
"It’s only suspected that a new Boundary Land has formed. Based on the amplitude of Spiritual Particle fluctuations, this should be a Mid-level Boundary Land."
Li Ling said, "The authorities have already dispatched a special operations brigade to the southwest jungle to investigate. They are also recruiting capable Mid-level Awakened to go along. Of course, A-level Special Service Officers like you are on the recruitment list."
"The official special operations brigade will definitely have no problem handling the mutant beasts in the Wilderness Area. So, the authorities are recruiting powerful Mid-level Awakened likely to be the first to enter the new Boundary Land and secure control permissions," Bai Pu said.
Li Ling nodded.
"If I gain control permissions over the Boundary Land, how will the profits be distributed... surely they won’t just give me a commendation and call it a day," Bai Pu said.
"That definitely won’t happen; there’s a precedent for it."
Li Ling said, "Three years ago, Candle Dragon, the Vice Group Leader of Special Service Group Two, captured a Low-level Boundary Land known as ’Silent City.’ The authorities assisted Candle Dragon with management, and the generated income, aside from paying management and security personnel wages, was entirely deposited into Candle Dragon’s account."
"That’s pretty good," Bai Pu laughed.
"For the state, it’s not concerned about the Spiritual Points produced by Boundary Lands; their focus is on combating crime and ensuring that Boundary Lands don’t become hideouts for Awakened criminals. So when a new Boundary Land emerges, the authorities help with operation and management to ultimately bring the Boundary Land under official surveillance, ensuring criminals can’t secretly slip in and hide."
Bai Pu nodded in agreement. The public Boundary Lands owned by the Superstar Alliance were all monitored by the authorities after the last incident where they harbored criminals.
As for whether there are hidden Boundary Lands? Certainly, and they must be Advanced Boundary Lands.
Otherwise, where else could an organization like "Star-Picking Tower," mostly composed of ferocious criminals, hide?
Bai Pu had originally planned to avoid the Wilderness Area until becoming an Advanced Awakened to avoid being ambushed by Star-Picking Tower experts.
But with official special forces in action this time, the Star-Picking Tower people probably wouldn’t dare to come.
Bai Pu made a video call to inquire about the situation with Blood Spider.
As Bai Pu roamed through the Flesh and Blood Plague: Aberration World, Blood Spider undertook two more Spirit Realm explorations and has now returned.
Upon learning about the official recruitment of Mid-level Awakened, Blood Spider refrained from a third Spirit Realm exploration and instead stayed in Xicheng, waiting for Bai Pu’s return, and then to set off together.
Bai Pu made another batch of Youth Cream and received a few pieces of Blue Armor that Li Ling had purchased on his behalf.
Having rested adequately in Qin’s Royal Palace, he had no need to continue resting and directly took Blood Spider to gather with the official special task force, heading towards the Southwest Jungle.
...
This time, they really encountered a few familiar faces.
Besides his teammates from Special Service Group Six like Yuan Yue and Yuan Tang.
Fenghuo, Haotian, Dragon City... Those top-tier Mid-level Awakened drawn by the University Competition scent have almost all come.
They were not official Special Service Officers, all coming for the interests of their respective families and factions.
If they succeeded in obtaining the control permissions for the Boundary Land, they would turn the new Boundary Land into private property for their families.
Signing a management contract with the authorities? Impossible.
The authorities couldn’t stop these people from entering the Boundary Land, nor break the unwritten rules; they could only refuse them from following the special forces’ actions.
Those large financial consortiums and family powers have intricate connections both domestically and abroad. If they united to fight against the authorities on many issues, the state machinery could malfunction, giving foreign hostile forces a chance to exploit.
Therefore, the authorities only act against certain large families and corporate power based on conclusive evidence, leaving other financial conglomerates speechless.
The Superstar Alliance also sent experts, led by none other than Wu Chen.
The experts led by Wu Chen were publicly clean and could withstand official scrutiny.
Sitting in the open-top jeep, Bai Pu watched the scenery outside the window.
In the Spiritual Era’s Wilderness Area, the dominant color was green.
The life force of plants significantly strengthened, their growth speed greatly accelerated, and many plants developed spirituality, evolving into so-called "Mutated Demonic Plants," possessing various strange abilities.
At the end of the green plains ahead, a dense green shadow could be seen, which was the Southwest Jungle.
Bai Pu and the others disembarked from the vehicle and proceeded to the front. Behind them, the special operations team members disembarked and walked together.
This jungle could almost be called a "primeval forest," seemingly endless, with only towering trees and entwined vines in view.
The thick fallen leaves beneath their feet, amassed over time, formed a thick layer of humus, soft like stepping on some animal’s innards.
Occasional howls from ape-hoofed beasts added a wild and primitive atmosphere to the jungle.
"There’s movement ahead, more than a hundred Black Claw Wolf Beasts are rushing towards us."
Suddenly, You Bai, Bai Pu’s teammate from Special Service Group Six, spoke up. His pupils displayed blue and white colors, seemingly possessing a clairvoyant ability to see far ahead.
A few seconds later, Bai Pu felt a slight vibration on the ground, and the trees rustled.
"Prepare for battle!" Instructor Xiang Yinghua shouted.
The Secret Arrow Shooter unit changed formation in response to the command, quickly forming three rows; the first row drew bows and notched arrows, and the second row prepared arrows.
"This jungle is not quite suitable for the Secret Arrow Shooter unit to perform. If a wolf beast charges into the crowd, please have the Special Service Group officers engage," Instructor Xiang Yinghua said.
Vice Group Leader Yuan Tang smiled, "Instructor Xiang is too humble; with your Advanced Awakened strength, nothing to worry about."
Xiang Yinghua smiled faintly, "Just in case."
Amidst the rustling sounds, a giant wolf as robust as a water buffalo appeared within the gaps of the trees.
The paws of this giant wolf were black, and when its claws extended, they reached half a foot long, practically four or five sharp small daggers.
"First row, fire!" ordered an officer.
Whirr... whirr... whirr... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Arrows shot out like raindrops.
Some arrows were obstructed by trees, and others were dodged.
But most arrows still hit the target, and the Black Claw Wolf Beast fell dead on the spot.
