Seeking Trouble
Sea God Lakeside.
One after another, giant transport trucks stopped not far from the reconstruction site of the Shrek Academy.
Mo Lan was the first to get out of the car. Looking at the huge pit in the distance and the people busy inside, she quietly revealed a hint of relief.
Then, she saw the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali floating in mid-air.
"Your Excellency!"
Mo Lan looked at Ya Li with great respect. The latter gracefully came to her side and smiled slightly. That smile illuminated the vast sky, as if everything was melting away, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
"Thank you for your hard work. Shrek's reconstruction wouldn't have been possible without the help of Heaven Dou City!"
Melodious words flowed from Ya Li's sexy red lips, soft and pleasant to the ear, like a cluster of the most moving musical notes.
"That's what we should do, we'll give it our all!"
Mo Lan said without hesitation, "I've already spread the word, and all the major news media outlets should have received it by now. I'm afraid a lot of people will be coming here, and it's going to be quite lively for the next while!"
The reconstruction of the Shrek Academy requires extensive publicity in order to establish a firm foothold in the public eye.
Ya Li smiled calmly, "I can imagine that many people would not want to see Shrek Academy rebuilt, but there are also many people who look forward to the revival of the Shrek Academy."
"Yes, Shrek Academy will surely be rebuilt in its former glory. In addition to the supplies I brought this time, I also brought more than 300 artisans from various fields. I believe that with their participation, Shrek Academy will be rebuilt very quickly."
As he spoke, Mo Lan waved to the convoy, and people began to get off and unload the cargo.
Each transport vehicle carries thirty tons of supplies, including various basic materials and various auxiliary Soul Tool.
According to the Shrek Academy's plan, three teaching buildings will be rebuilt first, and then, using these as the center, the academy will gradually expand along the Sea God Lakeside.
In terms of financial resources, Shrek Academy has the support of the Tang Sect, so there will be no problems for the time being.
Meanwhile, Shrek Academy's sanctuary also contains some of its own resources, including not only money but also some important books and secret manuals.
These things are Shrek Academy's most valuable assets; they are its foundation.
After a period of time, all the supplies were unloaded, and the craftsmen brought by Mo Lan began to work together to drive the piles.
With 300 people working together, the efficiency was extremely high.
"Stop! Stop! Who gave you permission to build houses here? What are you doing?"
As a shout rang out, more than a dozen police cars arrived at the construction site amidst the piercing sirens.
A group of soldiers jumped down from above, each armed with Soul Guidance Ray Gun, and blocked the construction workers.
"Who is in charge here? Who gave you permission to carry out construction here?"
The leading soldier glanced around and shouted angrily.
"This is our land, it belongs to us, what's wrong with us building?"
In the distance, Xie Xie, who was busy at work, looked up and strode towards them.
"Yours? This belongs to the Federation, not you. This place has been designated as a restricted area by the Federation. It has devastating radiation and is not suitable for human habitation. No one is allowed to work here. You can stop your operations now, otherwise we will have to enforce it."
The leading soldier, holding Soul Guidance Ray Gun, waved to the surroundings and shouted through Soul Guidance Loudspeaker.
The sound was so loud that it reverberated throughout the entire area of Sea God Lake.
"Captain, is this how you talk to your superior?"
Xie Xie chuckled and took out a small notebook from his pocket, handing it over.
The captain was taken aback. He took the notebook, opened it, and stared blankly for a moment. It was an officer's ID card, which he recognized all too well.
Xie Xie's officer's ID card is blue with two stars on it, which means that he is Lieutenant Colonel.
After the Shrek Seven Monsters joined the army, each of them performed very well.
Even someone as incompetent as Xie Xie managed to get the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
After the captain saw Xie Xie's rank, his expression froze for a moment, and he quickly handed over the notebook.
"Good morning, sir!"
Although the captain came with orders, he did not hesitate to stand at attention and salute when facing a senior officer.
After reclaiming his military officer's certificate, Xie Xie said, "First of all, we have land use rights here. Federation law stipulates that citizens' private property is protected and no one has the right to deprive them of it."
Secondly, all workers here have undergone strict protective measures, and there will be no safety issues. You can go back now. If you want to talk to me, have a higher-level manager come over; otherwise, don't come back!
As he spoke, he waved to the captain and then turned and headed straight for the construction site.
The captain stood there, stunned, his expression a complex mix of emotions; he hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.
He came here to incite conflict and gain a moral foothold, but with a superior present, the situation is completely different.
He dared not provoke them deliberately.
"Let's go!"
After weighing the pros and cons, the captain had no choice but to leave in disgrace with his security detail.
The people of the Shrek Academy were still busy, dividing the land according to the academy's land deeds, and first marking out the area that belonged to the Shrek Academy.
"Hurrah... Hurrah... Hurrah..."
An hour later, sirens sounded again.
A dozen police cars pulled up again in the distance, and a Lieutenant Colonel colonel stepped out of one of them. He looked to be about thirty years old and exuded an imposing presence.
The captain who had arrived earlier followed behind.
Where is your supervisor?
The Lieutenant Colonel asked in a loud voice.
"I'm here!"
With his blond hair flowing freely, and wearing the Shrek Academy uniform, Yue Zhengyu strode up to the Lieutenant Colonel.
"Wait, it wasn't you before. Who exactly is in charge?"
The captain said, somewhat stunned, a displeased look appearing on his face.
"Why are you here again? Didn't we make that clear?"
Yue Zhengyu glanced at the captain and said.
The Lieutenant Colonel said in a deep voice:
"First of all, this is a restricted area because of the special circumstances. The radiation here is very high and it is not suitable for human habitation. The Federation government has the right to temporarily restrict it for the safety of its citizens."
Your development without permission is illegal.
Secondly, what proof do you have that this land belongs to you? Even if it does belong to you, this is Federation territory. Within the Federation jurisdiction, all land belongs to the Federation, and currently, the Federation is regulating and prohibiting development.
Yue Zhengyu said calmly, "We have the land deed!"
As he spoke, he pulled a land deed from his pocket and handed it over.
The land deed is antique and clearly quite old; it was drawn on sheepskin.
The Lieutenant Colonel opened it and saw that it contained a finely drawn map and a special seal.
Although it looked old-fashioned, I still recognized it.
"This area has belonged to the Shrek Academy since ancient times, and it still does now. We are rebuilding our home in our own territory, and at the same time, we will gradually solve the radiation problem here. This land deed is enough to prove it, isn't it?"
As for development procedures and such, Shrek is an independent territory, and we are autonomous in everything we do. This has been the rule since ancient times, and we don't need the Federation's consent. You can leave now.
The Lieutenant Colonel suddenly smiled, a somewhat eerie smile, and waved the land deed in his hand.
"Relying on this to prove ownership? Well, that's no longer valid!"
As he spoke, a cluster of bright eyes suddenly rose from his hand, and the land deed instantly turned to ashes.
