Chapter 82: Struggle of Interests

"It's a pity that there are so many economically important towns along the coast. The impact on the economy this time is really damaging."

"The destruction of the three cities of Tianjing, Tianhai, and Tianzhou has a huge impact on the economy. The GDP of these three cities alone accounts for 10% of our entire country, and there are a large number of cutting-edge talents. They were all concentrated here, and this time they were almost destroyed by nuclear bombs. The death toll in the three places accounted for 60% of the local resident population. "

"Including the damage caused by the tsunami, the figure given by analysts is 20%. After comprehensive consideration of all aspects, our actual total loss is about 20%, including the material level and the human level. "The middle-aged man in charge of statistics next to the chairman said with the report.

"Everyone, the focus of this meeting is not on damage statistics, but on determining the next development policy. Reconstruction planning must start as soon as possible. We cannot support tens of millions of refugees caused by tsunamis and nuclear bombs for too long. Now This alone consumes billions of supplies every day, and we must start resuming production immediately." The chairman sitting in the center brought the topic back.

“Since we have decided to turn the coastal areas into front lines, the original three major cities will no longer be economic centers after reconstruction, so we need to re-establish several major cities in the interior to replace the original three major cities as economic centers. "

"I propose Tianqing."

"I propose Huajiang City."

Sensing the huge interests behind the reconstruction of the economic center, everyone in the council began to fight for the interest groups behind them. After all, everyone had different origins, so they naturally had their own corresponding factions. Except this time, the forces were almost destroyed by the Sea Clan's natural disaster. After the destruction of the coastal system, all the inland departments began fierce battles.

"Bu Li, why don't you go fight for it?" The two people sitting next to each other on one side were chatting in a low voice while they were having a heated argument on the stage.

"What else are you fighting for? My subordinates and relatives have all been wiped out by such a damn tsunami. How can I live in a beach villa? Now I'm the only one left, with two or three kittens. Even if I get a place in the economic center, I don’t have anyone to take it, so I might as well let them fight for it, why don’t you go, Mr. Chen?”

"Me? I won't talk about it. I am based in Tianzhou. After a few nuclear bombs came down, I am now just like you. I have nothing left except myself. I have few reliable people under my command. I might as well be an idler. This nuclear bomb is more ruthless than the Discipline Inspection Commission, and it will kill them all in one fell swoop."

The two officials, who had seen through the world, sat in a corner and quietly watched the big bosses from various inland departments fighting. They suddenly felt a little emotional when they thought that they had fought like this before for the benefit of their own department.

North-central Italy.

Since Rome was almost in ruins and all transportation had been suspended, Bai Mo had no choice but to carry the box and start walking to the nearest city to Rome.

Half an hour later, the dusty Bai Mo arrived in Oeninos, fifty kilometers away. He bought a newspaper from a roadside stall, then walked into a coffee shop and started reading detailed reports on recent events. .

"The invasion of the sea tribe...the nuclear bomb attack...the tsunami disaster were all caused by them. Three of the thirty-two cities attacked by nuclear bombs were in China." Bai Mo quickly finished browsing the newspaper and began to study the country in his mind. Case.

"Nuclear bombs, tsunamis, and the fact that it was one of the battlefields of the Hai Clan's landing battle. There shouldn't be much left on the surface of my house in Tianhai. I hope that the underground laboratory was not damaged too much, and there are still some things stored in it. Some very important samples. I didn’t expect that all three major cities in China were bombed.”

"The next thing to do is to return to China, transport the laboratory equipment from the ruins of Tianhai to the rear of China, and then continue to conduct experiments on the samples collected in the boxes."

After drinking the remaining half of the coffee in one gulp, Bai Mo put the money at the bottom of the coffee cup and left alone with the box. After discovering his true speed, he began to minimize conversations with others, because it was not comfortable to listen to conversations that were only one-fifth or sixth of the normal speed he perceived.

During the few days he stayed in Rome, Bai Mo didn't have a chance to take a shower. Although the life field covering the body surface and his mind power could ensure that dust would not fall on it, taking a shower was a habit formed over many years. He decided to take a bath in Ouni first. North rested for a night and then considered heading to the airport in northern Italy to return home tomorrow.

Soon, intending to take a good rest, he found a hotel in Oeninos.

Soaking in the bathtub with enjoyment, Bai Mo forgot about the tens of thousands of mutated creatures he had killed in the past few days, the thousands of zombies he had killed, de Broglie who was about to be killed, and Austrian who had survived the disaster. Sting and others were forgotten, their minds went blank, all the muscles in their bodies relaxed, their eyelids gradually began to fight, and then...then they fell asleep in the bathtub.

Just when Bai Mo was asleep, his body began to undergo some changes quietly after days of high-intensity exercise.

Pieces of muscles that have completed psychic transformation begin to tremble and gradually integrate into the life field. The trembling muscles release a large amount of heat. Part of this heat is reused by the energy-absorbing skin, while the rest that has not been absorbed is used as the skin. The medium is continuously released into the air and the already cooling water in the bathtub.

As the white ink continued to release heat, the temperature of the water in the bathtub continued to rise. Later, it even began to bubble gurglingly, with signs of boiling. The entire bathtub seemed to be using white ink to make soup.

In the process of muscle integration into the life field, a small amount of metabolic waste was left. These wastes were dissolved into the water through the skin. The water in the bathtub began to be filled with a small amount of strange blood color, just like drops of ink dripping into clear water. Of course, Bai Mo, who was still sleeping soundly in the bathtub, did not notice it at all.

As time went by, the "blood water" in the bathtub began to boil, but the water temperature of 100 degrees was just the right temperature for Bai Mo, who was protected by a strong life field, to sleep. The water kept boiling, and the steam from the bathtub gradually filled the entire bathroom and began to spread into the room.

It didn't take long for the large amount of steam that spread to the interior of the room to set off the alarm of the smoke alarm in the room. Water began to spray from the top of the room, and the alarm sounded at the same time.

The security personnel who received the alarm initially thought that it was another unruly guest who smoked in the room and caused the alarm, so they asked the female waiter in charge of housekeeping to go to Bai Mo's room to remind him, but Bai Mo, who was in a deep sleep, couldn't even wake up the alarm in the room, and naturally couldn't hear the doorbell pressed by the waiter at all.

The waiter had a bad feeling, and after ringing the bell several times and finding no response, she hurriedly took the room key and opened the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she found a lot of steam blowing in her face, and the whole room was filled with smoke.
