Reports and Point Rewards
The words had barely left his mouth.
Zhang Weijun and the other officers were taken aback, and the relieved smiles on their faces vanished instantly.
They seemed to realize something, exchanged a glance, and then looked at Shen Heng, asking in a deep voice:
"What news?"
Shen Heng spoke, recounting the situation he had gathered earlier.
He focused on the suspected Sixth Tier Calamity Beast, and then climbed to the top of the mountain to survey the situation.
Upon confirmation, their expressions immediately darkened.
When they learned from the soldiers below that there were no large numbers of Calamity Beast around, they breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that the effect was even better than Jiang Lin had said, and that the Calamity Beast had been driven to a more distant place, giving them more time.
It now seems that the timing wasn't too different from what Inspector Jiang said; it's just that the Calamity Beast didn't choose to attack the moment things returned to normal.
This was a possibility in their initial assumptions; after all, the Calamity Beast weren't mindless idiots.
But, in that case...
Zhang Weijun pondered for a moment, then looked up at Shen Heng, "What do you think?"
"The Calamity Beast will definitely attack again; it's just a matter of time. The later it comes, the more Calamity Beast will come," Shen Heng pondered.
"What about the time?" Zhang Weijun continued to ask.
"This..." Shen Heng frowned slightly, "It's not easy to judge, but it will either be as soon as possible, or it will be delayed by two or three days, or even longer."
"Oh? Why?" Zhang Weijun asked Shen Heng with great interest.
"The faster they go, the less complete the base's construction will be, making an attack easier; the slower they go, the more beastmen they can gather, and the greater the threat they can pose to the base," Shen Heng stated his thoughts.
Zhang Weijun neither agreed nor denied.
He nodded and said:
"Inspector Shen, thank you for your help this time. We will reward you and the inspectors who participated in the security and moving work with points, according to the agreement with the headquarters of the Supervision Bureau."
"The original plan was that if the Calamity Beast didn't attack, each person would receive 1000 points."
"However, considering the additional information you provided, your points will be increased from 1000 to 2000."
At this point, Zhang Weijun paused, then looked at Shen Heng and said:
Do you have a problem with that?
Shen Heng looked up in slight surprise. There were even points rewards?
He originally thought there would be no points reward, since the Calamity Beast hadn't attacked, and this was part of their job anyway.
But unexpectedly, it actually happened in the end.
Although it wasn't much, it was only equivalent to killing a low-tier, worthless Calamity Beast that had just reached Third Tier in the past.
But that's still not a small amount.
After all, without the attack of the Calamity Beast, this mission was practically effortless.
Furthermore, due to the large number of Calamity Beast killed during this period, the exchange of Origin Crystal in the Martial World Easy Exchange has been relaxed.
Although the main Origin Crystal are first and second order, a limited number of Third Tier Origin Crystal are also provided.
The Third Tier Origin Crystal, with the lowest concentration of Origin Power, only requires 1000 points.
"I have no objection," Shen Heng replied calmly.
Zhang Weijun nodded slightly, and was about to tell Shen Heng that they could leave when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Shen Heng to ask,
"If I remember correctly, the current limit of your ability is 50km, right?"
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"In that case, I'll temporarily assign you a long-term mission," Zhang Weijun said, looking at Shen Heng in a deep voice.
"You should dedicate a certain amount of your time each day to scouting for movements in the distance."
"We will give you a daily reward of 500 points. If you discover any trace of the Calamity Beast, the daily reward will be increased to 1000 points."
Shen Heng slightly raised his eyes, then nodded lightly, "Okay, I understand!"
Only after Shen Heng left did Zhang Weijun turn his gaze away.
He glanced at the group and said in a deep voice:
What do you think of the situation?
"Anyway, the base is finally established. Now we just need to be able to withstand the beast tides that may come at any time!" said a relatively fat officer.
"But the problem is the beast tide," a general with slightly graying hair said in a deep voice.
"Once the Calamity Beast returns, whether it's to adjust its condition or to summon more Calamity Beast, the level of threat we'll face afterward will undoubtedly be much higher."
"Our primary concern now is what kind of situation we will face when the first Calamity Beast attacks."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded slightly.
"According to the Intelligence Department, how many Calamity Beast could possibly be present in the Erosion Zone in a single day?" Zhang Weijun turned his gaze to a combat staff officer sitting in the corner of the temporary conference room, who was responsible for taking notes.
"Based on the daily appearances of the Calamity Beast, the daily limit for new Calamity Beast in the Erosion Zone is probably around 1,200 to 1,300," the staff officer replied.
Zhang Weijun nodded. "In other words, for every day the Calamity Beast delay their attack, we might have to face an additional 1,200 Calamity Beast?"
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.
During this period, the base's facilities and weapons will become increasingly sophisticated.
However, if the Calamity Beast continue to grow without limit, then they will also be difficult to deal with.
"Moreover, what I'm most worried about is another problem," the old general who had just spoken said again.
"While high-level Calamity Beast are more likely to value their lives, what if their numbers increase to the point where they can threaten our base?"
"Will we rely entirely on nuclear deterrence then?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed even deeper.
Zhang Weijun frowned and pondered for a while, then turned to look at a figure sitting to the side who was looking down at something.
"Master, what do you think?"
Li Daoyi at everyone, then raised his hand from under the table.
Everyone instinctively looked over.
White clouds were seen swirling around his somewhat withered hands.
Li Daoyi stared at the flowing luck and slowly said:
"The two I just mentioned, there's no need to worry too much about them for now..."
On the other side.
Shen Heng returned to Han Ling's side.
"Has the report been submitted?" Han Ling looked up at Shen Heng.
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"What did the Daoist priest and the chief think after hearing that?" Han Ling asked.
"I'm not surprised. I must have anticipated this situation when I made the plan, but your expression has become more serious," Shen Heng said.
"After all, this means the Calamity Beast might go back to make preparations." Han Ling nodded slightly and looked away.
"The level of threat is completely different when you come prepared versus when you come unprepared."
Shen Heng nodded slightly, glanced at the base still under construction, and then shifted his attention to the distance.
