In fact, the analysis of him by the expert team of the mysterious country was basically correct. His mind clearly told him that this world was just a parallel world, not the world he was born in.

It is true that he has a natural liking for the mysterious country here, but he does not have such a high sense of identity.

Providing some help within the scope of his own ability is his code of conduct, but in the absence of identity recognition, his main purpose is to improve his own values.

For example... if the Crown Eagle Mountain forces in the Mist Realm could be offset by the introduction of enough Mysterious Country bloodlines, he wouldn't mind changing it to... the Mysterious Country forces? Or the Mysterious Country branch?

When John Wick visited the [Miracle Ancient Tree] at the entrance of the base in the morning, he found a lot of good things inside.

The quantity of consumer goods such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea has increased by more than a hundred times, and the types and quantities of vegetables, fruits, meat and other non-staple foods have also suddenly become richer and increased dramatically, especially fresh fruits and seafood.

As a special operations personnel from Crown Eagle Mountain who also possessed an attribute panel, John's treatment was actually not bad. The treatment of all the members of Crown Eagle Mountain and those former Stuart personnel who voluntarily surrendered to him was also not bad.

The staple food is more than enough. We can't have fish for every meal, but at least we have meat every day. The only problem is that the processing method is a bit poor. Not only is it high in salt and fat, but it also tastes quite greasy. Members like them who have attribute panels have fixed quotas every day. Because of the battlefield environment, they have to set up special kitchens or cooking places, so the quotas are basically sent to them in the form of canned food.

Those tin cans with Chinese trademarks or bare bodies of unknown origin are okay. The starch content of luncheon meat is not very high, and the spices are sufficient. There are occasionally fruits, vegetables or other canned types to change the taste. The meat cans produced locally in Guanying Mountain are just like the Spam cans used by the US military during World War II. They are criticized as "not even dogs can eat" and "spiritual meat".

It's salty, greasy and full of starch. Sometimes half a can is filled with thick white fat. Even though they come from developed countries, former aristocrats or privileged classes whose stomachs are conditioned by eating habits, they can't stand it for three to five days at most, and they all find ways to improve their meals and taste.

For example, you can use those quota canned goods to privately exchange with local people for fresh vegetables and other types of food, or you can provide yourself with enough food and clothing by playing the role of a hunter, fisherman or wild gatherer.

On the contrary, the locals, that is, the people of the former Stuart Territory, have an unusually strong desire for salt and fat due to their low productivity. Under primitive farming conditions, food is scarce, salt is equivalent to muscle strength, and fat is the physical strength used for labor. The two can bring the most direct productivity.

As for complaints about high salt and fat content being unhealthy, this is only true after solving the problem of food and clothing. Even after solving the problem of food and clothing, one still has to solve the problem of wealth, which is achieved through the richness of food variety. The entire Stuart Territory is still far from that stage.

Because of this, a food trading market has been created around the bases of all members of the Guanyingshan faction. The scale is not small, but the value of the goods is the opposite of that in the Guanyingshan system. The food trading market is dominated by canned meat.

In particular, the canned meat produced in Guanyingshan is of great value, but within the Guanyingshan system, vegetables and fruits are of the greatest value.

(Note: Due to the issue of the issuance of [Gold Coins], they have not yet been widely used in the vast territory. Therefore, the private external transactions of the Crown Eagle Mountain forces are mainly in the form of currency previously issued by the Stuart family and barter. Also, because there is no provision stipulating that such behavior is illegal, it is a legal transaction and there is no problem of black market transactions. It is a bit similar to the example of Korean military hot pot. In the Stuart territory, some big stew recipes have appeared around these canned foods, but the Stuarts are of the same lineage as the United UK Kingdom of the Food Desert. You can imagine how dark these big stew recipes are.)

However, although the Realm of Mist is a magical world, the sub-space area where the Stuart Territory is located is a place with relatively poor material and ecological species. Vegetables, fruits and edible species in the wild are really not very abundant. After hundreds of years of the former Stuart forces, the domesticated crops and livestock are still zero. All the vegetables, grains and livestock species were brought from the earth.

There are edible species in the wild, but they are not within the scope of agriculture and animal husbandry.

The productivity at Crown Eagle Mountain is sufficient, but there are not many types of crops, and there is also the issue of logistics supply. The quantity of fresh vegetables and fruits is originally small, and they are not included in the quota supply of the combat system. Moreover, in the early stage, in order to bait the One-eyed Pirate Coalition and maintain the minimum material guarantee for the entire Stuart Territory, there is no time to provide them with a rich variety of food.

The main reason is that Yang Sheng’s strength does not allow it... The amount of [gold coins] he can obtain every day is capped, and he also has to maintain the daily expenses of the entire territory. Things like improving taste really have to take precedence over many other more important things.

To sum up, you can imagine how John Wick felt when he saw the lush green lettuce, the round and shiny oranges, the crisp and delicious carrots, etc. on the purchase page of [Miracle Ancient Tree], and his body instinctively sent him signals of "I want to eat", "I want to eat", "I want to eat"... signals of fresh fruits and vegetables.

He bought a lot of vegetables and fruits on the spot and filled his [backpack space]. He didn't even wait to return to his residence. Instead, he picked up fresh green lettuce and ate it with salad dressing on his fingers while walking on the road.

Relieve greasiness!

He licked his fingers clean and took out a navel orange that was slightly smaller than his fist. He used his teeth to bite open the fresh skin that was gushing out tiny drops of juice. The sour and bitter taste of the skin alone made him feel refreshed.

This kind of gluttonous scene was soon staged next to the [Miracle Ancient Tree] in all the territories.

……

Meili at Guanying Mountain had already received Yang Sheng's message, but she knew her own business. Apart from public security and police affairs, she only acted in accordance with Yang Sheng's intentions in the general direction and did not interfere in the details of specific matters.

Just like the way she managed the middle and lower class communities in the past, the current structure of Guanyingshan Community is modeled after the national system, selecting some positions such as the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Education, and the Minister of Logistics, and letting these people be responsible for specific affairs. If something goes wrong, she can't be blamed, she can just be replaced.

The management held a meeting and did not come up with any special response measures. They just used some administrative funds and swept up some supplies in the [Miracle Ancient Tree] in the name of the official, making a strategic reserve, and left the rest to its own devices.

As for the plot where foreign goods (from mysterious countries) hit the local market and caused farmers and factory owners to go bankrupt or take to the streets, there was none at all.

Things that can be produced locally have long been monopolized and have been distributed in the form of quota materials within the Guanyingshan system as logistical supplies, so the local production structure of Guanyingshan has not been affected at all.

The supplies in the [Miracle Ancient Tree] are sold at a slightly higher value within the entire force, and can only be purchased using the three currencies issued by the Crown Eagle Mountain Community Bank.

The Guanyingshan system has been promoting currency in various forms, such as wages, salaries, and remuneration, but in the past, the variety of goods was not rich, and these currencies could only be used to purchase a small number of consumer goods and luxury goods, such as [photovoltaic panels·modification] or electric cars.

The prices of these two types of goods are very high, which leads to residents' low desire to shop, or simply they cannot afford it, so they generally accumulate a lot of money.

The biggest consumption of this batch of supplies from the "World of Heavenly Demon Pests" is the magical energy that is as common as air and water in the foggy space. If rounded off, it is zero consumption. If the cost is measured according to the [Gold Coin] system, it is only one percent of the value of Yang Sheng's purchases through the "Tbao Mall" APP...

After the negotiation between Guanying Mountain and the Mysterious Country inspection team, after deducting some necessary handling fees, the value of Guanying Mountain's [gold coin] will temporarily follow the official gold price in the Mysterious Country, which is approximately 1 Mysterious Country yuan per gram.

If calculated at this exchange rate, the value of the Crown Eagle Mountain [Gold Coin] would indeed increase a hundredfold immediately... at least relative to its original value and purchasing power.

However, in order to avoid malicious exchange, the issuance of [gold coins] by Guanyingshan Community Bank is also limited. Therefore, Guanyingshan learned from the practice of the Foreign Exchange Administration of the Mysterious Country and did not directly open the exchange. Instead, it paid a sum of [gold coins] to the Mysterious Country as collateral and borrowed a large sum of Mysterious Country yuan to be used as funds for settling trade between the two parties.

At the same time, if the mysterious country wants to invest in the Crown Eagle Mountain forces in the future, the funds will also be advanced abroad.

The exchange authority will then issue the corresponding [gold coins].

This was originally the mysterious country's response to America's use of the dollar system to take advantage of international trade, but using it here is indeed in the long-term interests of both parties.

To sum up, after the first batch of bulk basic materials entered the Misty Realm space through "material infiltration", the management of the Crown Eagle Mountain forces not only made some strategic reserves themselves, but also issued a "rational shopping" notice to all residents.

There are no other countermeasures and there is no need to take any other measures.

Even if there hadn’t been this “rational shopping” notice, most community residents wouldn’t have known that so many supplies had appeared in the [Miracle Ancient Tree].

On the day the notice was issued, long shopping queues formed in front of the [Miracle Ancient Trees] in various parts of the community that served as sales outlets and bank counters.

The community residents' long-lost enthusiasm for shopping broke out.

Although there is no shortage of daily necessities in Guanying Mountain, consumer goods such as cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea are in short supply. Moreover, even for daily necessities alone, the categories of the new ones that appeared in the [Miracle Ancient Tree] are too rich, including ready-made clothes and seafood, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables that are not available locally, including many varieties that the local residents have never seen or recognized.

In particular, these new products are not limited in quantity and the price is only 10% of the same quality products in the past.

All community residents, regardless of gender, age or status, went Spartan after confirming the news. Thanks to their long-established habit of advance consumption, after finding the nearest [Miracle Ancient Tree] and queuing up for their turn, almost everyone exchanged all their currency or family savings for a variety of goods and materials.

Don't leave a penny!

BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!

Anyway, everyone has the [Backpack Space] attached to the attribute panel, and the community bank can also store a large amount of supplies to keep them fresh regardless of time.

According to the folk customs of the Flower Kingdom, America or some other country in the United States, after a long period of material shortages, they suddenly became rich, and almost immediately they were not optimistic but carnival-like. At the same time, there were large quantities of inexpensive alcoholic beverages and various other abundant food supplies. That afternoon, all kinds of carnival parties were held in the community and even in the members' residences across the vast territory.

The streets in the community on Guanying Mountain were even decorated with lights and the residents spontaneously held a large-scale event similar to a lantern festival, but in their custom, it should be called something like "parade floats."

Every family took out food and wine, and placed them on the streets in front of their homes, regardless of the large number of Stuart nobles and armed forces who came to the Crown Eagle Mountain community to undergo transformation. They didn't care whether they were neighbors or strangers, they hugged, sang and danced, treated everyone to drinks and food, lit bonfires, sang and danced together... Even the [Tree Demon] was dragged around in circles by them with a confused look on his face.

Everywhere you can hear blessings like "Praise Lucas" and "May Lucas live long", it's like the most grand celebration.

It lasted for three full days.

……

It took Yang Sheng and Zhuo Yisi almost ten days to return to the "Demon Pest World".

It’s not that Zhuo Yisi was stubborn and refused to change into his shape.

Rather, the steps and effort required to "process" those [Ancient Guardians] that need to act as nodes are really cumbersome.

Each one requires special means, and only through the "map editor" can a large number of complex runes and magic arrays be engraved. Moreover, each rune and magic array is slightly different. It cannot be quickly generated through "batch production". It can only be made bit by bit like the hard-working programmer who is modeling it for the first time.

Of course, Yang Sheng strictly abides by the 8-hour work system, and Zhuo Yisi is also very happy.

Yang Sheng chose to return at night. The cover of darkness made it convenient for him to place and deploy the [Ancient Guardian] and adjust the illusion barrier of the entire villa community.

After landing in his own neighborhood from a high altitude, he asked Zhuo Yisi to return to the villa first while he placed the [Ancient Guardian] outside.

Because of the infestation of sky demon insects, the air security in this world is extremely strict. Targets that are larger than cats and do not conform to the biological characteristics of birds will be captured by the radar system in every detail. If they do not have an air defense identification code, they will be reduced to slag by anti-aircraft artillery fire.

Therefore, in the process of Submarine Airship No. 1 descending from the sky to the ground, a lot of magical protection is required to avoid the scanning of ground radar waves and various detection technologies.

In other words, Yang Sheng has magical protection on him, so he doesn't have to worry about being observed by the outside world. If he doesn't cancel it on his own initiative, the protection can last for a long time. When he moves around in the villa community, he doesn't need to refresh the BUFF again.

Letting Zhuo Yisi go to the villa first was also to let her notify the security personnel in the villa community to avoid misunderstandings and interference with his actions.

This group of [Ancient Guardians] had been settled in this world before, and the tree pits on the ground were still there, but the arrangement order had changed a little.

In the ordinary world, the storage and access capabilities of Yang Sheng’s “mobile phone” were greatly limited, but after storing a lot of magic crystals in the phone, this problem was easily solved.

According to the requirements of the illusion barrier, he planted the [Ancient Guardians] one by one in the corresponding positions.

[Ancient Guardians] have the ability to take root, and the ground beneath their tree pits is the magic circle extending from the villa community.

The magic circuit, while completing its rooting, also completes the connection with the energy supply magic circle.

At the same time as the last [Ancient Guardian] took root, the illusion barrier covering the entire villa area was silently activated in an instant.

Because Yang Sheng had already preset the illusion barrier, in just a blink of an eye, the visual interference effect, including the feedback effects on many technological sensing devices, had covered the original real community.

Now the villa community has not become an illusory existence, but is wrapped in a layer of false "information".

Chunjiang Road Police Station.

The area where Yang Sheng's villa complex is located is called Chunjiang Road. In addition to the villa complex, there are a dozen streets under the jurisdiction of this police station. The entertainment street where the sky demon insects attacked the blue knight brother in the previous chapters is among them, and it also includes the anti-aircraft firepower camp on the hill.

However, the anti-aircraft firepower camp belongs to a special jurisdiction, and under normal circumstances, the Chunjiang Road Police Station will not come here.

Since August, Chunjiang Road Police Station has received notifications from its superior authorities to upgrade and expand the police station.

Everyone in the institute was puzzled by this.

Since the emergence of the Sky Demon insect pest, the social conditions it has caused are more complicated than those in the ordinary world. For example, there is a series of criminal acts centered on the Sky Demon Zerg. However, after so many years of response, governance and rule of law construction, grassroots units have also adjusted and expanded their staffing accordingly. Equipment such as the "Divine Muscle Exoskeleton" are also deployed according to the frequency of insect pests in the jurisdiction, fully meeting the needs of daily affairs and emergencies, and even leaving a lot of room, so there is no need for upgrading at all.

Moreover, it is the only one that has communicated with the city or other jurisdictions in the same system to carry out upgrades and expansions, which is very interesting.

As personnel, equipment and office space arrived and expanded, more doubts emerged.

I have almost no acquaintances with the new colleagues, as they were all transferred from other places. The largest number of them are well-trained and tough, and many of their daily behaviors still have a strong military style. It seems that they are not retired personnel, but active personnel... Although the appearance and paint of the newly deployed "Super Muscle Exoskeleton" equipment look exactly the same as the security model, it is not equipped with kinetic guns. The most eye-catching of them is the gun-shaped rocket launcher equipped with a fire control device.

According to a knowledgeable military fan, if the fire control device is what he thinks it is, the fire control device alone is worth more than 120 million yuan. The rockets launched are guided, which is cheaper, but also around 80 yuan per shot.

Probably considering the possibility of urban combat, there are no automatic burst weapons in the new equipment. There may be some but they are not shown. One type that can be seen is a large alloy shield and heavy cold weapons used for close combat, and another type is a sniper cannon dedicated to the "divine muscle exoskeleton"...

Not to mention sniper rifles, a normal 7.62mm caliber rifle is enough to kill insects. This kind of sniper cannon specially designed for the "magic muscle exoskeleton" can even blow up a tank with thin armor with one shot.

In comparison, these are nothing. The newly built "Public Security Information Center" is expensive. The information center only contains electronic equipment for the display and communication ends. If the launch vehicle or road-based silo, satellite system or microwave communication system, ground, air or sea forces and corresponding war vehicles are included, the official name is generally called "XX combat system". Don't care whether it is air-to-air, ground-to-air or whatever. The price of the whole system is generally no less than 100 billion. The hardware equipment of the information center alone is worth at least tens of millions.

These words are only discussed privately within the Chunjiang Road Police Station, and it depends on the occasion. Although it is not an intelligence front, it is also a disciplined force, so naturally no one will spread these things outside.

For ordinary residents in the jurisdiction, apart from the increase in daily patrols and sentries standing guard, their lives have not been affected in any way.

……

Qi Hewei, Zhang Chun and two auxiliary police officers responded to the call.

The incident took place in a relatively remote green park, but there was no report of any injuries. It was an early-rising migrant worker who came here to scavenge before the sanitation workers arrived. He collected some recyclable items from the trash can and found a dead sky demon insect in the grass.

Qi Hewei squatted on the ground and looked through the insect corpse. When he saw the insect's flattened head and the foul smell of the sewer, he knew what had happened and basically ruled out the possibility of other crimes.

This area is an open space, not far from the river. The Sky Demon Insects will become weak and lose most of their combat effectiveness in sea water, but they are not affected in fresh water. The escaped fish that have infiltrated from the outer defense line will often go ashore along the river, or like this, along the city's drainage system, and drill out from under the manhole covers.

Zhang Chun, chewing gum and wearing sunglasses, stood beside him wearing the security-type "Magic Muscle Exoskeleton". This remote park was outside the "iron cage protection" system, so it was best to equip the "Magic Muscle Exoskeleton" when getting out of the car.

The front and rear chest armor of the public security model of the "Magic Muscle Exoskeleton" is liftable, so that you can see the area above the chest of Zhang Chun, who is wearing protective clothing. The cockpit also integrates a police digital system. When Qi Hewei was examining the body, Zhang Chun was watching the surveillance video in the park through this system.

It's dark in the picture and the light is not very good, but the surveillance cameras in this area have a certain night vision ability. After adjusting the image quality and enhancing it, it can just be seen.

A blonde foreign girl unexpectedly encountered a bug that had just pushed open the manhole cover. Perhaps she disliked the bug because it was covered in sewer filth, so she picked up a stone from the ground, dodged the bug's attack, and smashed the bug's head with the stone in two or three strokes. She threw the stone away, gave a bright smile to the surveillance camera, and made a V sign with her hand.

Zhang Chun sighed, turned his head and said to his captain: "It's our cute little girl again. It's really weird. Why does she always encounter bugs?"

Qi Hewei walked to a nearby trash can, took off his gloves and threw them in, saying, "It's not surprising. She took a direct route home from school and took a shortcut. There were no cages protecting the area. Insects have keen senses and may have mistaken her for prey."

He actually had a lot of questions in his mind. There were examples of humans desperately fighting insects with simple tools, but they were pitifully rare. From the perspective of combat effectiveness, the performance of Yang Sheng's family...mainly because Yang Sheng and this big cutie were both ridiculously strong.

However, the changes that have taken place in the station over the past few months, as well as the vague reminders when occasionally communicating with new colleagues, have made this veteran criminal investigator realize that things here are not that simple. So after basically confirming that no criminal behavior is involved, he does not want to have anything to do with the affairs of "Da Keai".

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a slightly bald head, wearing a striped T-shirt, rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically while talking to the two auxiliary police officers in charge of the security:

"Hey, police comrade, can this be considered as a heroic act? Can I get a heroic award?"

"Uncle, that doesn't count. You just found the bug, you didn't kill it," one of the auxiliary police officers said as he kept patrolling. "But you're really trying too hard. Bugs often appear in this area. You're just picking up some recyclable waste. There's no need to risk your life, right?"

"Hehe, how can you be so unlucky? You and the troops patrol here every day, and even if there are bugs, they will be killed by you."

"You just encountered one, luckily it's a dead one, if it was alive you would be in danger," another auxiliary police officer said, "so you shouldn't take this risk in the future... But then again, we patrol here often, how come we haven't seen you before?"

"There was an accident at the construction site. Our foreman was arrested for some reason and the project was suspended. I have nothing to do here and I can't find a new construction site for a while. I have little education and cannot do many jobs, so I had to come out to clean up the mess."

"Oh, wait a minute," an auxiliary police officer took out a police iPad from his puncture-proof suit and said, "Tell me which construction site?"

"It's on the 2nd floor of xxx building on xx road. The foreman's surname is Zhang."

The auxiliary police officer nodded while checking the information, then turned around and asked, "Sister Zhang, who owns this bug... is it ownerless?"
