I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 280 Resurrection of the Mammoth

Summer.

Beijing.

Central power.

A top-level meeting is taking place.

There is a large screen on one side of the conference room, on which the image of the "Ice Monster Army" is clearly displayed.

A participant quickly explained the relevant situation: "Mr. Ling Ya's ability to create ice monsters should be classified as a 'summoning' ability according to the classification of the 'Secret Book of Supernatural Powers'.

"Summoning is a very powerful and rare type of supernatural power. The way it uses supernatural powers is a bit like using a small amount of force to achieve a great result.

“To put it simply, it is to first condense a summoning seed, so as to leverage more supernatural forces from the outside world and eventually form a summoned creature.

“The summoner’s understanding of supernatural powers is often far higher than other types of supernatural powers, which is why the summoner is so powerful.

“If Mr. Ling Ya had not taken the initiative to show the Ice Monster Army this time, we would not have known that Mr. Ling Ya was not only a beast tamer, but also a powerful summoner.

He took a breath and continued his story.

“According to the Jiuzhou Legion’s assessment, the ability level of a single ice monster is much weaker than that of an ordinary psychic.

“But this doesn’t mean that the ice monster is weak. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. On the battlefield, the ice monster has a more than 90% chance of killing an ordinary psychic.

“The specific reasons are as follows.

“First of all, as a summoned creature, the ice monster naturally has no sense of pain and is not afraid of death, so it has an advantage in a life-and-death struggle.

“Secondly, in an icy and snowy environment, the ice monster must be able to use the accumulated snow to spontaneously repair its body after being injured, just like the snow monster. This is also a great advantage.

“After ordinary psychics are injured, they cannot recover in a short period of time, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced to a certain extent.

“Again, judging from the video content, the ice monster is obviously a summon with extremely high agility.

“In a real battle, the ice monster can exert combat power far beyond its own level.

“It’s like a weak assassin who can often kill a strong warrior unexpectedly.

"Finally, the ice monsters have far superior coordination with each other. The actual combat power of this ice monster army composed of more than 300 ice monsters is no less than that of a thousand psychics..."

The narrator said this and threw the report on the table.

He smiled again and said, "There is a lot more to come. I am too lazy to talk about it anymore, but the core point is only one, that is, Mr. Ling Ya is very powerful. We have underestimated Mr. Ling Ya's strength once again."

There was a sudden chuckle in the conference room.

Other voices immediately arose.

"When I first saw the ice monster, I felt that it was definitely a cruel and ruthless killing machine."

"Like servants, like masters. I'm afraid Mr. Ling Ya is a cold-blooded person at heart."

"Personally, I think that the assessment of 'no less than a thousand psychics' may be too conservative. If a real fight breaks out, the Ice Monster Army might be able to kill two thousand psychics."

The meeting host, Gongsun Minghe, brought the topic back to the right place at the right time: "What is the purpose of Mr. Ling Ya doing this?"

Each participant immediately expressed his attitude.

"What else can it mean? If Mr. Ling Ya is not satisfied with the country's handling of Xijing City, he will kill people himself."

"Tsk tsk! Top-level experts always act in a domineering manner. Does this count as forcing the emperor to abdicate?"

"It's not a coup! At least Mr. Ling Ya didn't kill anyone directly, but expressed his attitude in this way. He is quite respectful of the country."

"The supernatural age has arrived. The future is an era where personal force is supreme. We must also change our thinking. Future power struggles will inevitably be fought through force."

"That's too long-winded. Let me summarize it for you. A big fist means the final say. Mr. Ling Ya has a big fist, so his voice is loud."

The meeting host, Gongsun Minghe, said, "Everyone, tell me, how should we deal with the current chaos in Xijing City?"

He paused, then emphasized: "The way Daxia handles Xijing City this time will become a model for handling similar incidents. This should be the reason why Mr. Ling Ya suddenly intervened in this matter."

One participant immediately expressed his opinion: "In troubled times, severe punishments are needed. At this time, these bastards still have the guts to do whatever they want. They really dare to raise snow monsters in the city. I think they should be killed!"

Another participant immediately agreed: "It is better to establish rules as soon as possible since the era of natural disasters has just begun. Otherwise, once the atmosphere is damaged, it will take more effort to correct it in the future."

But some people disagree.

"Although these people in Xijing City are just a bunch of parasites, according to the current laws, they are not guilty of the crime punishable by death."

"I think so too. Those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be sentenced should be sentenced. Letting them do hard labor can also make some contribution to Daxia."

The conference room quickly split into two factions.

Gongsun Minghe frowned slightly.

He knew it very well that on the surface, the two sides seemed to be discussing how to deal with the Xijing City incident.

In fact, the two groups have different positions, and this case is just a fuse.

In a nutshell, those who agree are reformists, while those who oppose are conservatives.

The reformists believe that the future is an era of superpowers, and Daxia should speed up the pace of reform, with superpowers at the core of everything, in order to cope with greater crises.

Conservatives are not opposed to reform, but they believe that a steady and cautious approach should be taken to avoid changes that are too fast and too hasty and cause a mess that is difficult to deal with.

To be fair, both sides acted out of public interest.

But it is not necessarily true to say that there is no selfish motive at all.

Gongsun Minghe had all sorts of thoughts in his mind, but he said, "I'll tell you the truth. The future leadership of Daxia will sooner or later be handed over to powerful people like Mr. Ghost and Mr. Crow."

He paused deliberately and emphasized his tone: "This will not be changed by anyone's will. No one, including me, can stop this."

A conservative moved his lips slightly, wanting to open his mouth to refute.

Gongsun Minghe rushed to say something: "Everyone, I just want to say one thing, even with the most conservative estimate, the maximum lifespan of Mr. Ghost and Mr. Crow will not be less than two hundred years.

"It is almost certain that these two strong men will be promoted to more powerful knights in the future. By then, their lifespan will be at least three or four hundred years. It is absolutely impossible for us to live longer than them."

This statement came out.

Everyone was silent.

Living longer means more influence, and, in a way, influence equals power.

This is an obvious truth.

All the opposition parties unconsciously thought of a question: Is it really worth it to forcibly confront the future leaders of Daxia, or even the leaders of Canglan Star, for the sake of these guys in Xijing City?
Even if it can be suppressed for a while, can it be suppressed for a lifetime?

Gongsun Minghe looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and nodded secretly in his heart.

He coughed lightly and said, "Let me say a few words. Regarding the violations of some people in Xijing City, we will deal with them strictly and quickly."

The so-called "strict and swift" is a euphemism for "killing".

Gongsun Minghe then raised two fingers and said, "Let me tell you two principles.

“First, the actual controllers of each snow-clearing labor service company and the behind-the-scenes associates within the system can be considered the main culprits.

"The ringleader must be punished. Don't let these guys off. Catch them as quickly as possible, put them on trial and execute them. This will serve as a deterrent to those who are restless."

In recent times, some well-connected people in Xijing City have established at least over 200 labor service companies, dividing up the snow removal business in various parts of the city like dividing a cake.

These few light words mean the death of more than 500 people.

Gongsun Minghe continued, “Secondly, the chaos in Xijing City has caused widespread dissatisfaction among the general public, and the local city hall has an unshirkable responsibility.

"The entire leadership team of Xijing City will be replaced. If they are found to have any vested interests, they will be dealt with accordingly."

This sentence meant that a group of senior executives in the eyes of ordinary people instantly fell from the clouds to the ground.

Gongsun Minghe asked again: "Do you have any opinions?"

Immediately a voice was heard.

"I agree!"

"Let's do it this way!" No one spoke, all of them with an attitude of acquiescence.

Gongsun Minghe nodded: "Then let's do it."

The senior secretary next to him quickly drafted an order and sent it out.

From this moment on, a huge storm officially started to blow in Xijing City.

at this time.

Another secretary stood up and walked to Gongsun Minghe, whispered something, and placed a tablet in front of the latter.

Gongsun Minghe took a glance and was immediately shown with complete surprise.

He raised his eyes and said in surprise, "I just received a message that Mr. Ling Ya is now in the Natural History Museum in Xijing City, looking at the fossils of mammoths."

The other participants were a little confused.

Why did Mr. Ling Ya have to bring up the matter at the Supreme Conference just because he went to the Natural History Museum to look at fossils?
Gongsun Minghe calmed down and gave the answer: "Mr. Ling Ya intends to use the fossils to conduct an important experiment, trying to bring the mammoth, which has been extinct for more than 4000 years, back to the eyes of the Canglan people."

One participant couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ling Crow plans to revive the mammoth?"

Gongsun Minghe nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

The conference room was suddenly in an uproar.

Everyone then realized that Mr. Ling Ya's purpose of going to Xijing City was not only to solve the chaos in the city, but also to revive the mammoth.

If the experiment is successful, the resurrection of the prehistoric mammoth will surely shock the entire Blue Star.

This is definitely a historic event.

For Daxia, this is also an event that can greatly enhance the country's image.

Gongsun Minghe looked at the excited people and secretly praised them in his heart: "Brilliant!"

After the topic of "resurrecting the mammoth" is brought up, the opponents who had opinions about Mr. Crow will also turn to support Mr. Crow.

An opponent immediately asked: "Mr. Lingcrow, do you need help?"

Gongsun Minghe replied, "Mr. Ling Ya needs ten healthy female elephants. He plans to use a secret method to produce ten mammoth embryos and implant them into the female elephants. In this way, he will breed baby mammoths."

The conference room was in an uproar.

Ten mammoths?
If this really happens, it will definitely be major news that will shock the world.

The opponent who had just spoken said without hesitation: "I will immediately arrange for someone to collect 20 female elephants from all over the country and transport them to Xijing City."

The ten extra female elephants are undoubtedly "backups".

Although a large number of species have become extinct on Canglan Star after the cold wave disaster.

However, a large number of wild animals are still kept in zoos across Daxia.

In order to preserve the genes of the species, Daxia regularly allocates supplies to the zoo to prevent the animals from starving to death.

Apart from Bactria, there are few countries in the world that can find twenty female elephants.

Two thousand kilometers away.

Xijing City.

Zhang Ruijie was standing on the balcony of his single apartment, opening the window a crack, smoking happily.

Cigarettes are considered a luxury item today.

The price of ordinary cigarettes that used to cost 20 yuan a pack has now soared to 150 yuan.

Compared with the average person's salary of 2,500 yuan, who can afford it?
Although the government gives every 20-year-old adult a coupon to buy cigarettes, very few people are willing to buy them.

This is one of the very few products that have sufficient shopping coupons but not many people buy it.

A few days ago, it was Zhang Ruijie’s 30th birthday, and he reluctantly bought a pack of cigarettes. He only smoked three cigarettes a day at most.

He puffed for a while, and even the cigarette butt was burned up, and then he reluctantly threw away the butt.

Zhang Ruijie muttered quietly, "The country said that it will completely solve the problem of food self-sufficiency within five years. I hope that after five years, some farms can be allocated to grow tobacco to bring down the price of tobacco."

He waited for a while, until the smell of smoke had almost dissipated, then he closed the window with a "click".

Zhang Ruijie was about to return to the living room when he inadvertently glanced to the right and stopped suddenly.

I saw a group of soldiers appear outside a row of storefronts on the northeast side of the community.

He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Isn't that the office of Dehua Labor Service?"

The so-called "Dehua Labor Service" is the labor company responsible for the snow removal business in these blocks.

The thirty yuan snow removal fee he paid every month eventually went into the hands of Dehua Labor Service.

It would be fine if they just collected the money, but the problem is that since Dehua Labor Service took over the snow removal business in the community, the snow in the community has never been cleared in a timely manner.

Everyone in this community knows that this is a company that squeezes money out of the people.

Zhang Ruijie muttered excitedly, "Could these bastards from Dehua Labor have committed some crime?"

He stood on the balcony, staring over there without blinking.

After a while.

He clearly saw a dozen people wearing Dehua labor uniforms being escorted out by soldiers.

There were also some soldiers carrying items that they had searched from the company.

obviously.

Dehua Labor Service was confiscated!

Zhang Ruijie grinned with excitement: "God is open-minded!"

He immediately picked up his phone, took a few photos and posted them on his Moments, and also wrote "worth celebrating".

It was only sent for a few seconds.

A message appeared: "The labor company on our street has just been closed down by the military."

Zhang Ruijie was stunned immediately.

He quickly returned to the house, searched the Internet, and saw an official announcement.

Zhang Ruijie only took one look and exclaimed "Oh shit".

The title of the notice is: "Notice on the Complete Banning of Snow Removal Service Companies and the Full Refund of Snow Removal Fees."

The issuer of the notice was actually the highest administrative department of Anxi Province.

Zhang Ruijie quickly read it through and became more and more excited the more he read.

The notice clearly stated that the snow removal fees collected from residents will be returned in full within five days, and certain compensation will be given.

The specific amount of compensation is currently under study.

Zhang Ruijie couldn't help but praise: "The country is so wise!"

He suddenly remembered a business traveler from out of town whom he met while eating noodles at the noodle shop just now.

The other party was holding the latest model of ultra-crystal battery mobile phone, which left a deep impression on him.

He had a small argument with the other party at that time.

He believes that Xijing City's practice of charging money for snow removal will sooner or later be promoted nationwide.

The other party did not think so, and said, "Although Daxia has various problems, it is still good overall."

Zhang Ruijie smacked his lips and said, "That guy seems to be quite knowledgeable! Could it be possible that other people can use super crystal battery cell phones?"
