Chapter 1007: Chapter 1004: Post-Disaster Reconstruction
"Mr. Yang, the spiritual energy here feels even denser than in other places, it’s perfect for cultivation."
On a small town less than a three-day journey for ordinary people from the Yunwu Mountain’s base, the group stopped here for a rest at night.
Xu Mao and others gathered around Yang Fei, unable to help expressing their feelings.
Yang Fei nodded, "Yunwu Mountain is originally a place where nature’s spiritual energy converges, and with the array to absorb the spiritual energy from nature, it gathers the energy, so it’s denser here than in other places."
Xu Mao exclaimed in delight, "We’ve heard about this place before, but it’s an important military base, so ordinary people can’t come here. Mr. Yang, can we stay here for the long term in the future?"
Mo Deqiang and the Mo Family members also looked at Yang Fei with anticipation.
During their journey, the Mo Family had seen too many displaced people and witnessed the enormous disaster that struck the entire Divine Continent. They no longer complained about the family relocation as they did initially. They realized now that the world has undergone immense changes, and finding a safe place for their family to settle down is the most important thing.
The Yunwu Mountain’s base is now the safest place on the Divine Continent. Even Mo Deqiang wouldn’t have qualified to reside here long-term in the past, but now they can move the whole family here, naturally, they are excited.
Yang Fei said, "You can. Now that the Divine Continent’s population has reduced to only thirty or forty percent, the cultivation era has begun. The entire population must start cultivating as soon as possible to gain an absolute advantage in future competition. So, I will try to expand the Cloud Mist Mountain Array to allow more people to live here."
Everyone was overjoyed.
Especially Xu Mao, Xu Xingzhou, Zhang Long, and Zhu Wenjie.
Since being assisted by Yang Fei to reach the Energy Transformation Realm, Xu Mao felt that advancing further in this lifetime was hopeless.
But ever since the changes in the world, he has clearly felt that his cultivation seems to be able to improve, and now, being able to cultivate at the spiritually abundant Yunwu Mountain’s base, he’s filled with anticipation for his power to grow.
While they were chatting, Yang Fei suddenly sensed something and released his divine thought, seeing a vehicle approaching on the road outside the town.
Surprised, he stood up and said, "A vehicle is coming, I’ll go take a look."
Everyone was astonished to hear about the vehicle.
After the disasters, the roads were severely damaged, and they had come all the way from Huangyang County on foot, climbing mountains and wading through rivers, with great difficulty. Hearing now that a vehicle was approaching, they felt a bit fresh and curious.
Could it be that transportation has been restored?
Arriving at the entrance of the provincial road leading outside the town, they saw a car rushing towards them quickly.
Yang Fei stood in the middle of the road and waved his hand from afar.
The vehicle honked when it was about ten meters away from Yang Fei.
Then, the car stopped three meters away from Yang Fei.
Despite being against the lights, Yang Fei could see it was a military truck.
The doors of the driving and co-pilot cabins were pushed open, and two figures jumped out from the front.
"Mr. Yang!"
The two said in unison, filled with joy.
Yang Fei felt that these two looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall their names right away.
However, it was certain that they were soldiers stationed at Yunwu Mountain’s base, and he must have met them before.
"Did you come from Yunwu Mountain?" Yang Fei asked.
One of them immediately responded, "Yes, Mr. Yang, the road from Yunwu Mountain’s base to here has been fully cleared. Besides, roads extending from Yunwu Mountain to Wu’an City and in all directions have been cleared for hundreds of miles, but our repair line was the most complex, so it had the largest workload, and it’s just now reached this position."
Yang Fei felt joy in his heart.
With the roads cleared, vehicles could come to pick people up, making a three-day journey possible in less than half a day.
"Is there a phone on the car, can you contact the base?" Yang Fei asked eagerly.
The officer of major rank immediately said, "Yes, Mr. Yang, as we came along, besides clearing the roads, our main task was to first repair the communication cables. So far, the communication cables in the Jiangbei Region are basically restored, and other provincial capitals have also sent a large number of personnel. I believe it won’t take long for the entire Divine Continent to restore land transportation, cables, fiber optics, and energy infrastructure supply."
Yang Fei nodded quietly.
Although the disaster was enormous, causing national paralysis in the Divine Continent, making repairs very difficult, with significant support from high-level personnel at Yunwu Mountain’s base and military personnel from various bases, after more than a month of effort, the post-disaster recovery is beginning to show positive results.
Having been away for so long, he especially missed Qin Yanyang, Tong Yunshu, and many people and affairs at Yunwu Mountain’s base. He told the officer, "Connect me to Yunwu Mountain’s base, I need to talk to them."
"Yes."
The officer led Yang Fei to the back of the vehicle, where they saw more than a dozen soldiers in camouflage uniforms. They were covered in dirt, and many had already fallen asleep in the carriage.
Yang Fei solemnly saluted them.
He knew they had been busy with post-disaster reconstruction during this time.
The officer also felt a bit sorry seeing this situation, and in a lowered voice, he spoke to a soldier who was still awake, "Communications officer, connect to the base, Mr. Yang wants to have a conversation with them."
"Yes."
The communications officer responded, jumped out of the truck with a communicator on his back, and established contact with Yunwu Mountain’s base through the repaired radio station.
"Hello, Yunwu Mountain’s base."
A voice came through from the other side.
The communications officer handed the microphone to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei took the microphone and said, "This is Yang Fei, is Qin Yanyang at the base?"
"Hello Mr. Yang, Minister Qin is not here, but I can connect you to her phone," the communications officer immediately said.
Yang Fei said, "No need to trouble yourself, getting in touch with Hu Lizhong or Xiang Yunfei is fine. Are they there?"
"Please hold on, I need to ask."
"Okay."
After a while, Xiang Yunfei’s voice came through, "Mr. Yang, you’ve finally returned."
Yang Fei said, "Mm, can you send two trucks over here to pick up some people?"
"Yes, I’ll arrange it right away," Xiang Yunfei replied.
Yang Fei couldn’t help but ask, "Where has your Minister Qin gone?"
Xiang Yunfei said, "She is stationed in Wu’an City, directing the post-disaster rebuilding work there."
"Alright, I understand. We’re at Wushan Town, please arrange for vehicles to come and pick up some people," Yang Fei said.
"Okay."
At this point, Xu Xingzhou, Xu Mao, Zhang Long, and the others also arrived.
Seeing them come over, Yang Fei said, "The base will send vehicles over to pick you up. You stay here and wait, I need to leave early."
They nodded repeatedly.
Yang Fei then instructed the officer, "Protect the people here."
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
The officer immediately responded.
The distance to Yunwu Mountain’s base was not very far, and the dozen or so soldiers on the vehicle, although out performing post-disaster recovery work, were fully armed and equipped with sufficient weaponry and ammunition. Additionally, with Xu Xingzhou and Xu Mao present, as long as they didn’t encounter exceptionally powerful adversaries, there wouldn’t be a problem.
After giving instructions, Yang Fei headed directly towards Wu’an City.
