Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 486 - 338, Divine Xia No.1

The fifth day of the lunar new year.

Seven o’clock in the evening.

Just as the thousands of lights in Great Xia were lighting up, a large passenger plane roared down onto the airport in the Shapudian capital.

Previously, due to the frequent natural disasters, Shapudian’s domestic order had already completely collapsed.

Later, the entire top echelon of Shapudian collectively leaned toward Great Xia, and Great Xia’s forces subsequently intervened in Shapudian comprehensively, with as many as fifteen divisions permanently stationed there.

In the past, such military actions would certainly have provoked large-scale protests from the nation’s populace.

But the logic of the Age of Calamity is different.

The strong entry of the Great Xia Army brought a strong sense of security to the Shapudian people, so instead of protesting, it was met with the widest welcome.

Of course, not all Shapudian people agreed.

Many Shapudian people still harbored the fantasy of a "Great Sharpyan Kingdom," after all, a few hundred years ago, Shapudian was once the southern hegemon of the East Continent.

But these people dared not speak out, otherwise other Shapudian people would willingly pummel them.

If Great Xia people leave, will you protect us?

Nowadays, a large number of key facilities within Shapudian are controlled by the Great Xia Military.

This airport is one of them.

The company owning the airport was bought at a low price by Great Xia, and all operations and maintenance to security work at the airport are managed by Great Xia people.

Soon.

The passenger plane taxied into the gate, and the cabin door opened.

Qin Deguang, accompanied by his wife Anna, was the first to step out of the cabin.

This guy had followed a big shot on an adventure in Cold Abyss of the Primordial World, and his superpower evolved into Middle Rank Superpower Ice Beauty, instantly achieving rapid success and recognition.

Recently, the "Eastern Bering Plan" was officially launched, and Qin Deguang, having married a Bering wife, gained favor from those above and was reassigned to become a participant in the plan.

His wife Anna also joined the plan and was appointed as a liaison.

At this moment.

Behind Qin Deguang.

Over a dozen figures successively stepped out of the cabin, curiously sizing up the airport.

The appearances of these people varied; some resembled Great Xia people, while others, with pale skin and blue eyes, looked like Caucasians.

They were the Eastern Bering people.

Currently, the Eastern Bering Region of the Bering Kingdom was in deep distress.

Yet, the Bering Kingdom turned a blind eye to it.

Although the Eastern Bering Region repeatedly requested aid, the Kingdom merely transported more than two thousand tons of grain by air.

For the Eastern Bering, where starving bodies lay everywhere, this was just a drop in the bucket.

In an effort to save themselves, the Eastern Bering people began seeking alternative paths.

This group of Eastern Bering people accepted Great Xia’s invitation and quietly flew across most of the East Continent to distant Shapudian.

Little Ivan was one of these visitors.

He stood at the cabin door, looking at the brightly lit airport and the distant array of twinkling lights, with an indescribable sense of awe in his heart.

Because in his thirty-two years of life, he hadn’t heard the name "Shapudian" for the first thirty-one years.

It wasn’t until last year’s arrival of the Celestial Mountain that this news shocked the world, and he learned of the existence of a nation on Canglan Star called Shapudian.

However, in Little Ivan’s impression, Shapudian should be a very backward and poor country.

Among nearly four hundred countries globally, Shapudian’s per capita income seemed to rank in the bottom hundred.

Thus, he always believed that Shapudian’s capital Glory City was at most comparable to a medium-sized city in the Bering Kingdom.

But the reality before him shattered Little Ivan’s perceptions.

He saw with great shock that the night view of Glory City appeared even more splendid than that of the Bering Kingdom’s capital.

In the past, while watching television, Little Ivan had witnessed the Kingdom’s nighttime scenes during the Age of Calamity multiple times.

He was very certain that the density of lights illuminating Glory City was noticeably more than that of Mogler.

How is this possible?!

A series of questions immediately popped into Little Ivan’s mind: "How did they solve the energy problem?

"With so many lights here, they must have already solved the heating problem, which is the most energy-consuming aspect.

"Even if Great Xia people took over Glory City, it’s impossible to build a power plant here so quickly! Besides, Great Xia people’s development focus is Eastern City!"

Just then.

A companion’s voice came from behind.

"Little Ivan, don’t just stand there foolishly at the door, hurry down, it’s doggone cold here!"

Little Ivan regained his composure and quickly walked down the stairs.

His gaze fell upon Qin Deguang in front, and he accelerated his pace, jogging over and shouting, "Mr. Qin!"

Qin Deguang stopped in his tracks, turned around, and glanced over with a bit of confusion, asking, "Mr. Little Ivan, do you need anything?"

Little Ivan immediately voiced his inner questions: "Mr. Qin, has Glory City already solved its energy problem?"

Qin Deguang didn’t quite understand why the other party was so concerned about this issue but still nodded: "That’s correct!"

Little Ivan pursued the topic further: "How did you solve this problem? Did you build a power plant?"

Qin Deguang nodded again: "Yes!"

Little Ivan widened his eyes in surprise: "Can Great Xia build a thermal power plant so quickly?"

He added another question: "How did you resolve the coal issue?"

Qin Deguang chuckled: "Mr. Little Ivan, it’s too cold outside, the bus that will take you folks is right ahead, can we talk on the bus?"

Little Ivan naturally had no objection: "Of course!"

Soon.

Everyone arrived by the side of the bus.

This bus parked directly by the runway to pick up people, instead of outside the airport, due to confidentiality requirements.
