Chapter 230: The Major Inst.i.tutions Have Gone Crazy
There were 12 groups in the capital’s Hunter Bureau, and not every group could get a share.
As the saying went, there would be brave men behind great rewards. With new weapons as rewards, those cultivators who were usually lazy were now all on steroids. The three training grounds of the beast hunting bureau were instantly full.
On the other side, the city defense army was also in a heated atmosphere.
After Chu Li, the head captain of the city defense army, returned to the inst.i.tution, he immediately called for a meeting with the core personnel and told them what he had seen and heard in the fifth Research Department.
After learning about the Spirit Wave Sword’s power and ease of carrying.
Those generals and squad leaders were also extremely excited.
Although there were no berserk beasts in the city, there were often people with ulterior motives.
Compared with the beasts, powerful humans were equally terrifying.
It was because there was no lack of cultivators among the criminals in the capital every year.
Not only did those cultivators not go to the battlefield to protect the country, but they also caused trouble. using their abilities that were higher than normal people, they bullied men and dominated women, and did all kinds of evil. They also saw the city defense army as their mortal enemy.
At the same time, those criminals were also the most hated kind of people in the city defense army. They bullied the weak and brought disaster to the people. They were simply not worthy of being human.
However, those cultivators were harder to catch than normal criminals and their city defense army also lacked effective methods to attack high-level cultivators.
This was because the weapons that could harm cultivators were usually area-of-effect attacks.
The main purpose of the standard weapons was to deal with ferals. This caused the city defense army to have no efficient means of capturing criminal cultivators.
Adding on the fact that those criminal cultivators were good at hiding, even if they attacked frequently, the probability of being caught was less than thirty percent of normal criminals.
Even in the capital, where security was the highest, there would still be cultivators committing crimes every month.
The situation in the prefecture-level cities and rural areas would only be more serious.
Therefore, everyone in the city defense army had been looking forward to the new weapons for several years.
Unfortunately, the current military headquarters had always placed the strategic focus on the major war zones in the Nine Provinces, and their city defense army had not been updated with equipment for several years.
Therefore, the emergence of new weapons was like sending charcoal in the snow to them.
In addition, during the meeting, they had heard leader Chu Li say that the power of the new weapon could easily cut through military vehicles made of special metals. It was only 30 centimeters in size and was easy to hide and carry.
Therefore, their excitement at this moment was even more difficult to describe.
At the same time, everyone thought to themselves, was this thing not specially designed for their city defense army?
“Captain Chu, you must tell us the name of the researcher who designed the new weapon. I’ll bring my team members over to give him a kowtow.”
In the conference room, the captains in charge of the security of the various areas were almost moved to tears.
A few years had pa.s.sed, and the higher-ups finally heard their voices, saying that they were going to develop new weapons for the city defense army.
However, before the team leaders could even feel their emotions well up, they were doused in cold water by head leader Chu Li’s words.
“You’re thinking too much. It’s just that the equipment they’re forging suits our requirements. Other than me, who else would care about your work experience?”
Chu Li sighed helplessly and continued. “Moreover, the ma.s.s production of the new weapons will be extended to a few months later. I’ve tried my best to persuade them before they’re willing to give us ten of them after the forging is completed. By then, even how to split them will be a problem.”
After hearing leader Chu Li’s words, the few leaders immediately calmed down from their fantasy.
It was true. The city defense army had not gotten any new weapons in recent years, and they had to solve a lot of things every day.
If the higher-ups were really going to give them new weapons, they would have given them a long time ago and not wait until now.
After realizing this, everyone became depressed.
“That… doesn’t matter. When the ma.s.s production of the beam saber is completed, the ten weapons can be distributed to the outstanding young men in the city defense army first. at that time, it can at least intimidate that group of b*stards.”
The captain of the former bay area clenched his fist and spoke through gritted teeth.
When the other team leaders heard this, they immediately fell silent. Three days ago, there had been an appalling case of family extermination in the Qianwan area, and the culprit was a five-star cultivator.
The murderer had killed a family in a residential area in Qianwan within an hour, and his method of crime was extremely brutal.
At that time, there were many witnesses who saw the process of the crime, but up until now, the city defense army had not found the murderer.
This case had a very negative impact on society, so much so that the owners in the community where the case happened had moved out one after another. In less than three days, the number of people in the community had decreased by more than half.
The point was that the murderer had not said anything so far. In the past few days, the city defense army had been receiving hotline calls about the murderer’s appearance on the busy streets.
This meant that the murderer had intentionally or unintentionally appeared in the downtown area.
He was completely provoking the Jingdu city defense army.
During this time, there were two city defense army members who had encountered the murderer, but because they lacked effective means, they were also restricted from fighting in the downtown area. The murderer had slipped away from the city defense army twice.
If this laser weapon had existed at that time, he could guarantee that the other party would not even be left with dregs.
“Don’t worry, I’ll ask Academician Xu from the fifth Research Department for information. We have to learn how to use the weapons as soon as possible. When the first batch of weapons comes, we have to prepare them as soon as possible.”
Chu Li understood the captain’s feelings. As he explained, he also used a comforting tone.
“During this period of time, the other teams will each send a six-star cultivator to the front bay area. They will try to catch the murderer who looked down on our city defense army within three days. Only by killing this anti-human immediately can we appease the public anger!”
“Yes!”
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted head Captain Chu Li.
Chu Li nodded, then waved his hand casually.
Everyone immediately turned around and left. After a while, he was the only one left in the entire conference room.
He raised his head and looked at the white ceiling, frowning slightly. he was thinking about how to solve the current trouble with the least loss.
On the other side, the two major departments in Jingdu had been shaken by the wave of new weapons.
The family investors who were invited to the fifth Research Department also informed the management of the consortium about the news as soon as possible.
In less than half an hour, the fifth Research Department’s plan to develop a new and powerful weapon was spread to all the high-level executives of Jingdu financial groups through the spies planted in the three families.
