Hearing the words "Urban Development Plan", the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much more serious. Even Feilun raised his head curiously and looked at the old man in front of him.

The so-called "urban development plan" is not a literal "development". To put it bluntly, it is a plan to send people to the gathering place to explore, expand, and occupy the city ruins. Of course, if you only need to look at the literal content, it seems very simple, but in fact it is exactly the opposite. "urban development" can be said to be the most dangerous task in this wasteland world.

Because above the wasteland, the ruins of any city are the hardest hit areas.

And this can be traced back to the origin of the "Cataclysm".

Without any signs, the end of the world has arrived.

It was not because of the war. No one knew why. They only remember that a few years ago, they had lived a happy and peaceful life. Perhaps there were some degree of armed conflict in some remote areas, but there were no conflicts and frictions between major powers that could be called tense. Most people lived a happy and peaceful life.

Then, the end of the world came.

From north to south, from east to west, a catastrophe without any warning suddenly broke out, sweeping the entire earth. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, plagues, people experienced almost everything that could be called disasters. They did not resist because they had no time to react. Hundreds of millions of people died in the disaster, and these cities were naturally severely damaged. The collapsed tall buildings, the falling land, the raging hurricanes and floods were like gods of death, sweeping and slaughtering all life in the city.

In the shadow of death, people wailed and fell down, dying in pain.

And when they woke up again, they turned into terrible monsters.

Why are urban ruins a forbidden zone in the eyes of people living in the wasteland? The reason is very simple, there are too many monsters inside.

In modern civilization, it is not uncommon for a city to live in hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and some international metropolises even have tens of millions of urban populations. In peacetime, such cities will naturally bring people a bustle, noisy and prosperity. But what about the wasteland? Just imagine the scene of hundreds of thousands or even millions of monsters wandering in the ruins of a city. Just imagine the scene of tens of thousands of zombies, energy-absorbing monsters and mutants scattered in every corner of the city, trying to kill all outsiders who break into the city,

It is enough to make people frightened. After that disaster, the number of humans surviving on the earth was less than one ten thousand. The largest gathering area in the eastern wilderness like the Ninth District, plus non-combatants such as slaves, was only 20,000. However, there were only about 5,000 people who could really pull out the battle. Even if the Ninth District was desperate and pulled out all men, women, young and old, they could not resist and destroy the monsters in the ruins of the city. Insufficient combat power and insufficient ability, and the number was also an overwhelming disadvantage. In this case, the wisest choice is to hide as far as possible.

You should know that the ruins of the city near the Ninth District are just a small fifth-tier city according to the pre-disaster standards. However, even such a small fifth-tier city, the Ninth District never thought about exploring and occupying them. This is the reason. For residents in the wasteland, even if they pick up some rags in the periphery of the city ruins, they have already put life and death aside. As for entering the central area of ​​the city, even the craziest idiots dare not think about it or do it.

However, with huge risks, there is a huge temptation of interests.

Any city has a developed coverage network before the disaster. It is precisely because of this that after the "Catale Calamity", the network energy in the ruins of the city was much higher than that in other places. The ninth district has been developing for nearly ten years, and it is unknown how much manpower and material resources it has been used to raise the network authority level of the gathering point to level five. However, in the small town near them, it is a network coverage area with level five authority from the beginning!

This means that if you can occupy a city, it means you have the best stronghold to shelter from wind and rain. People no longer have to be afraid or worried about the natural disasters brought about by catastrophes, even electromagnetic storms can be kept out. And it is not a dream to focus on a city or even establish a country!

And this is just a small city. From this, it can be imagined that the network coverage area authority in those international metropolises must be higher, and may even reach level ten! If the control authority of a network area can reach level ten, it means that it can not only control a city, but also a continent!

Of course, dreams are beautiful, and reality is cruel.

The higher the authority of the network energy area, the more dangerous the monsters living inside. Like the energy-absorbing monsters faced by the scavenger team that Feiren had rescued before, they are just mutated monsters on the edge of the five-level network energy area in a small city. If the status of human society is used as a metaphor, then those energy-absorbing monsters are just the level of beggars. From this we can imagine how terrible the monsters wandering inside the city are, and if they count their number in tens of thousands.........

"I said, old man, are you so confused? Do you think our group of people can occupy a city together? To be honest, even if everyone here brings their subordinates and brings all the thugs from your Blackstone Group, it is not enough to enter the inner city."

The "Queen" sitting on the sofa snorted coldly and stared at the old man in front of him with confusion. In fact, this is also what everyone thought. The Blackstone Group has not been able to pay attention to the ruins of the nearby city before, but after several failed connections, the Blackstone Group has given up its plan to occupy the ruins of the city and turned to the path of independent development. This is why the current Ninth District is now, and now the executive director of the Blackstone Group has once again raised the urban development plan in front of everyone, which is really confusing.

"You're right, 'Queen'."

Faced with the "Queen"'s inquiry, the old man still looked like he was smiling.

"Indeed, everyone here is the elite in this wilderness, but please be honest, even if you unite, you will not be able to conquer that ruin... I am not using provocation, this is a fact. But this time we have done sufficient investigation and preparation..."

While speaking, the old man reached out his hand, and with his movements, a projected holographic map appeared in front of everyone.

"In fact, before this, we had sent five reconnaissance units to explore. Indeed, as the Queen said, our power could not reach the inner city. But even so, we were not completely unable to do so. In fact, our search team found a small network coverage area on the edge of the ruined outer city...."

As he spoke, the old man stretched out his finger and soon, with his movements, an area on the edge of the city was marked red and quickly displayed. Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but open their eyes wide. No one who could stand here was a fool, and they quickly understood the old man's meaning. When they noticed the change in the atmosphere in the room, the old man also smiled proudly.

"That's right, as you all think, our Blackstone Group intends to take this stronghold and then occupy it! As long as we can occupy that area, we will have a bridgehead that pushes closer to the inner city! I believe that in time, we will definitely be able to completely occupy this city!"

"But, what does this have to do with us?"

Compared to the old man's passionate speech, most of the people present showed disapproving expressions. Even Feiren just stood in the corner with a playful face, staring at the old man in front of him curiously. Although they did take the ninth district as the base, they did not have any awe of the Blackstone Group that actually controlled it. The reason why these powerful elites have a harmonious relationship with the Blackstone Group is because the Blackstone Group is doing a good job in this regard. This is not a different world in fantasy novels. People with some skills want to form a force.

After starting the road to hegemony, in fact, in this dangerous end of the world, what people expect is to make themselves feel more comfortable. The Blackstone Group has done a good job in this regard, so other forces and elites are willing to obey its command. Just like Faren, every time he comes back from the wasteland, he can relax and take a comfortable bath, and then sleep on a clean, soft and comfortable bed. This feeling is indeed very good. As long as he can ensure this quality of life, he doesn't mind doing things for the Blackstone Group within his ability.

But working hard is another matter. After all, they are not the thugs of the Blackstone Group.

However, the old man obviously had expected this, so he patted his hands gently. Soon, two men holding suitcases came forward and respectfully placed the suitcases in front of everyone.

"Of course, I understand your thoughts. In fact, we do not intend to just send you to serve us. Therefore... this is a commission, which was proposed by our Blackstone Group to you. I hope you can assist our Blackstone Group in sweeping the area and eliminating all unstable factors to ensure that we can successfully obtain control of that area and thus establish a stronghold. As for the rewards......"

As he spoke, the old man opened the box. At this moment, even Feilun, who was standing in the corner to watch the show, was stunned. He could keenly feel the breath coming from the box, which was......

Just as Feren was thinking, he saw that the old man had turned the box over, and the things placed in the box were completely displayed in front of everyone. When he saw what was placed in the suitcase, almost everyone couldn't help but change his face. The old man who noticed this showed a confident smile. Then, he looked at the people in front of him again, and then continued to speak.
