Chapter 438: Chapter 437: Locked Zone

The construction of the city walls in Zone 14 concluded, and the position of the Pan Building also required relocation.

Lu Zixun’s heart was filled with curiosity concerning the "World Tree" mentioned by the system.

After some investigation, he discovered that mentions of the World Tree existed only in online games; in reality, there was no World Tree at all.

Since he couldn’t find any information, Lu Zixun simply pushed the matter to the back of his mind.

Lin Siyin would be entering Crimson Land in the coming days, yet there was no trace of her mother, Ouyang Yin.

Even with Ge Changming investigating incidents from twenty years ago, no discoveries were made.

The complete lack of information made Lu Zixun feel that something unknown must have happened to Ouyang Yin.

"Brother Xun, the basic construction in Zone 14 has already commenced, and at the same time, any issues regarding the Hopeful People and Micro-citizens on the Night Language Forum have been suppressed."

After pausing, Ge Changming continued, "Zhenfei is quite skilled at controlling rumors."

Lu Zixun was not surprised by this at all.

Zhenfei handled such matters expertly, and Lu Zixun had not expected this issue to pose any trouble for Zhenfei.

It was just a simple delay tactic.

Now that Zone 14 was under control, even if Zhenfei discovered this later, there was nothing that could be done.

"It’s good that it’s suppressed; let our people continue to gather intelligence on Zone 11, and at the same time..." Lu Zixun’s brow furrowed at the thought of Tang Tianyu, "have them pay close attention to Old Tang’s movements."

Ge Changming was taken aback, then raised his eyebrows, "Old Tang venturing into Zone 11 at this time is like a sheep entering a tiger’s den, isn’t it?"

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s gaze settled on Ge Changming, his eyes full of puzzlement, "What do you mean by that? Has something happened in Zone 11 recently?"

"I thought I mentioned before that the Life Corridor in Zone 11 has been built, and the problem lies with this Life Corridor."

After pondering for a moment, Ge Changming continued, "This Life Corridor is located in the latter half of Zone 11, near the border with Zone 8, and to prevent the Insect Clan from infiltrating and destroying the gene bank, the Three Prefectures have initiated a lockdown strategy."

It was unexpected that the Three Prefectures would choose to implement a lockdown just to ensure the smooth progress of the Genetic Optimization Formula.

Lockdowns usually happened at the start of battle, allowing entrance but no exit, to prevent any disruption of the battlefield.

Also, to prevent the Alien Race from tipping off the Insect Clan and exposing human strategic plans.

But now, before the conflict had even started, the Three Prefectures had initiated a lockdown - were they giving up on joining the battle?

In Lu Zixun’s eyes, a faint light flickered.

After a while, he asked, "When will the Three Prefectures’ lockdown end?"

"At the moment, we don’t know."

Shaking his head, Ge Changming glanced at a document, "But according to our estimates, the Three Prefectures are likely waiting for the first successful genetic match before they lift the lockdown."

Genetic matching successful, meaning the birth of babies?

Lu Zixun raised his eyebrows, "Does that need a year? That’s impossible to achieve."

Even with the approaching conflict, projecting a lockdown of a year was unreasonable.

First, because of the rules that allow entry but not exit, and second... the different compositions of forces.

Each region has people from different factions; this was beyond question.

Zhenfei’s people could not stay long in Sha Fei’s territory, and vice versa.

"That’s not what I mean."

Waving his hand, Ge Changming quickly said, "They’re waiting for successful conception before lifting the lockdown."

"So, successful pregnancy?"

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Zixun mused, "Can we get our people mixed into the Life Corridor? I want to know what this Genetic Optimization Formula really is."

At these words, Ge Changming’s expression turned bitter - Brother Xun was really putting him in a tight spot.

After thinking hard for a moment and sighing, Ge Changming replied, "I’ll give it a try, but the hopes are slim; it’s currently too difficult to infiltrate such a place."

Lu Zixun nodded slightly, understanding the difficulty of the task.

He did not press Ge Changming to ensure its completion.

Changing the subject, Lu Zixun asked, "How long will it take to complete the urban construction in Zone 14?"

Ge Changming checked his phone.

He responded, "Because we can use the city core areas of the Insect Clan territory by simply removing the Fungus Blanket, it would take at least three more months to complete construction of the entire region."

Three months would be after the conflict had ended; this pace was indeed too slow.

"Can’t we speed it up?"

Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on Ge Changming, a contemplative look in his eyes, "Before the conflict begins."

Ge Changming knew the brutality of the upcoming conflict and thought deeply for a moment before replying, "We can accelerate it, but we must first establish the rail system that connects with Zone 8 and Zone 10 to meet material demands."

The prolonged duration wasn’t due to the Demon Clan’s manpower issues.

For the Demon Clan, with their Infinite Strength and vigorous constitutions, continuous work for three days and nights was not an issue.

The challenge lay in construction materials.

The Demon Country didn’t have abundant building supplies, meaning they needed to be sourced from Human Gathering Places. The round trip alone took three full days.

"There shouldn’t be a problem with Xu Wenqing in Zone 8, and for Zone 10..."

After some thought, Lu Zixun realized he didn’t actually know who the Commander of Zone 10 was.

"I’ve already sent Liu Wenxi to communicate with Zone 10, so we should have a result soon."

Flipping through a document, Ge Changming continued, "The rail connection to Zone 8 is now 82% complete and will be finished the day after tomorrow. With this experience, connecting Zone 10 will take only three days."

Since someone was already handling the negotiations, Lu Zixun didn’t need to worry about it any further.

Closing his eyes and speaking indifferently, he said, "I’ll leave these matters in your hands. Keep an eye on the Insect Clan’s movements, as they will not be content with losing a large area like Zone 14."

"The West Garden is on guard at the city walls bordering Zone 14 every day, we’ll know instantly about any suspicions."

With that, Ge Changming suddenly laughed and looked at Lu Zixun, "Brother Xun, do you remember Yang Mingyu?"

"Who?"

Yawning, Lu Zixun asked carelessly.

"She’s the girl who was handing out badges to the participants at the start of the bug-killing competition."

Lu Zixun wouldn’t really remember...

With so much time having passed, Lu Zixun’s memory wasn’t very reliable.

Seeing that Lu Zixun clearly had no idea, Ge Changming said slyly, "Looks like the West Garden is going to be a father."
