In the midst of this apocalyptic rumor, although these mountain towns are currently only occasionally transited by alienated animals, and the desire of these alienated animals to attack humans is also quite low. But the terrible thing about public opinion is that it can make a normal person, in a panic all day long, gradually lose his mind and become a slightly neurotic weirdo.

This is also an instinctive defense mechanism that naturally arises from human beings in an insecure environment. Now, after the double confirmation of public opinion and facts, this atmosphere of depression and panic is permeated in the mountain towns of the entire federation.

Fortunately, it is now winter, and except for some service industries in the mountain city, all other industries are basically closed. Otherwise, in this oppressive atmosphere, you have to take into account the stressful work every day, then this mountain city will collapse sooner or later.

The tense nerves of the mountain people need to be soothed, so in this winter, the consumables of tobacco and alcohol in every mountain town are surging. This leads to the fact that except for some people who buy cigarettes and open bars, they are all happy, and the rest of the people are either buying drunk to relieve their sorrows, or they can't say a word about Mu Ne.

It's as if everyone is waiting for the end of the world!

Such an extremely strange atmosphere will naturally attract the attention of the Federation. Because the Federation has basically deployed a large number of Federation troops and Federation scouts in these mine-producing areas, in order to prevent some alien creatures that pose a greater threat to humans from rushing out of the mountains and making a big fuss in the mountain towns without any defense.

Now, in addition to detecting alienated creatures with a relatively large threat level, these investigators have also discovered this strange atmosphere of the people of the mountain city.

The discovery of this strange atmosphere is not a pure coincidence, but because of contrast. In the two years of the Federation's wall construction plan, although there are not too many mountain cities involved, there are a few. These mountain towns are protected by city walls, and all the mountain people inside present an optimistic and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone is quite comfortable and enjoying this rather rare leisure time when the snow covers the mountain.

On the contrary, the mountain cities that are not protected by the city walls are basically in a gloomy and bleak situation. Some of the scouts who traveled back and forth between the mountain towns, no matter how stupid they were, could still feel this obvious difference in atmosphere. Due to the severity of the beast plague now?? , the Federation army and the Federation's major martial arts halls are doing their best to defend their stations. As for ensuring the stability of the order of the major mountain cities, it is one of the jobs of these scouts. Therefore, in the face of this too abnormal atmosphere, the investigator felt that something was wrong, so he wrote it into a report and submitted it.

The "Federal Winter Beast Disaster Pacification Committee", which is temporarily established every winter, is in charge of this work. Based on the current defensive situation in the mountainous areas, Zuo Mingyi, the chairman of the Federal Winter Beast Disaster Pacification Committee, felt that this winter should be able to survive safely, but after learning about the oppressive atmosphere that prevailed in various mountain towns, Zuo Mingyi had to pay attention to it.

Because under the threat of alien creatures, these mountain towns have become a pile of rather unstable dry wood, as long as a random strange alien animal jumps out, then all the mountain towns of the Federation will collapse, and a large number of refugees will be irrepressibly generated.

After all, for today's group of mountain people, they know too well the dangers of wild beasts, and they also know that if they don't run for their lives, they probably won't even be refugees, and they can only become food for alienated animals. Although the Federation is actively fighting the spread of alienated animals, due to the reasons of federal policy, these efforts are not known to the mountain people.

Under this kind of information gap, as long as a high-threat level alien creature causes a vicious security incident in any mountain city, then even if the ancient gods descend, it is impossible to stop this wave of refugees!

Once this unstable factor arises, then the Federation will inevitably fall into chaos in advance!

In order to prevent this, Zuo Mingyi also had to contact the high-level leaders of the wall construction plan and ask them to find a way to build the city wall on the other side of the mountain city first. After all, judging from the current form of federation, the areas where alienated creatures make the most trouble every year are these mountainous areas. Zuo Mingyi felt that if we talked about priority, we should still give priority to the people of these mountain cities.

However, for the federal high-level who was responsible for building the wall, Zuo Mingyi's request made him feel quite embarrassed. After all, first big and then small, danger first and then safety, is only the basic criterion for building a wall.

Although it is true that the form of the federation is the most severely affected among these small mountain towns, if we talk about the severity of the city collapse alone, it is these cities at the top of the ranking that are more serious. Although the threat to the mountainous area is more severe now, everyone who knows the inside story knows that in fact, every city is threatened, but this threat has not yet revealed its hideous side.

If you only focus on the immediate situation and do not make long-term plans, then you can indeed give priority to building walls for these mountain cities. But no one knows when the alienation disaster of which important cities will break out, and if it breaks out in the next moment, then the Federation will pay an even heavier price for this far-sighted wall construction plan!

Everyone has their own difficulties, and everyone has their own difficulties. If there is a trade-off, it can only choose to abandon the car and make the turmoil in the Federation smaller.

Formally based on such a cruel reality, the personnel in charge of the federal city construction plan are a group of absolutely rational people. After receiving such feedback, they directly rejected it. And at the end of the reply, there is also a suggestion to "find a way to solve it yourself".

Zuo Mingyi, who received the reply, almost smashed the table under him. Is it much more difficult to build a wall in the mountain city area than in the plain area! Without the support of the Federation, if you want to solve the problem by yourself with local forces, it really feels like a fantasy!

After all, if these small mountain towns had the ability to build their own, they would have already built the city walls. Look at those big chambers of commerce that have the ability to build walls, which one of them doesn't make a lot of money? If they have the ability to earn this wealth, who will refuse?

Although the situation is difficult, Zuo Mingyi does not want the project he is responsible for to become a time bomb that detonates the situation in the Federation. After all, it is too difficult to prevent 100% of the beast tide, and you have to find a way to divert your own stress, or change the overall emotional state of these mountain city residents. Only when people have hope can they be the strongest and bravest, and their ability to endure suffering is the strongest.

If you want to give hope to the people of the mountain city, you must give them a wall, and a wall that can be built in time. The Confederacy's plan to build walls, which resembles a pie, is clearly useless.

After thinking about it, the federal top brass decided to solicit proposals from a wide range of experienced builders to see if they could solve this urgent need.

It has been two full years since the big city construction project was launched, and after the test of time, all the large consortia with the qualifications to build the wall have been naturally selected. When the goal is clear, it is quite simple to contact these large conglomerates. A week later, all the business replies of these consortia were presented in front of Zuo Mingyi's eyes.

The main reason why these big conglomerates are recovering so quickly is because they all see a huge business opportunity!

By building walls in the kingdom of Houtu, they can be said to have made a lot of money. Now the Federation intends to accelerate the construction of the wall in the mountainous areas of the Xuanwu State and other states, which itself means the absorption of a large number of immigration resources and the early occupation of the Xuanwu State's sphere of influence. In addition, the Xuanwu State is the largest mining area in the Federation, and all kinds of wall resources are relatively cheap here, and the water and electricity resources are much more abundant than those of the Houtu State. If it weren't for the beast plague here every winter, this would be a treasure of feng shui in the Federation.

However, after reading the business replies of most of the consortiums, Zuo Mingyi was a little disappointed. Because these big conglomerates basically revised their plans to build walls in the Houtu State slightly, and then handed them over. Such an act is tantamount to a utopian fantasy divorced from the actual situation! Because the pattern of the major mountain cities of the Federation is very different from that of the rich earth state!

Due to the rise of the Federation in the big city construction plan, as long as there are mines near the mountain city, they basically make a lot of money. Since they were busy with the ore business, when they realized that they wanted to vigorously develop the construction team and wanted to form their own team to build their own city walls, the Federation's construction team was already covered by the new and established construction teams. This group of local money, who can only do ore and building materials business, wants to go to the construction team to make money at this time, it is impossible.

Not to mention that if you want to successfully pull up a team in the construction talent market that is now in a state of soup and water, even if you have worked hard to pull up a construction team, they have to queue up for two or three years to make an appointment for the equipment used to build the city. Nowadays, the construction industry of the entire federation is already in a crazy situation, and if you don't occupy the pit in advance and want to enter halfway, you will usually only be deceived and bankrupt.
