CHAPTER 387: 296, SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN_2

The third dynamic image shows a black spot left on the ground, while the snow dog is nowhere to be seen.

Anthony finally believed the receptionist: "Was the snow dog burned to death?"

He was amazed: "In just a few dozen seconds, they took out the Yeti. The efficiency of the Great Xia people is truly high."

"No wonder the receptionist is so calm, and no wonder the Shapudian people all want to move to Eastern City. Great Xia is considered the safest country on Canglan Star."

A randomly appearing Yeti in Eastern City was quickly killed by the Great Xia Military, indicating that the Great Xia people have developed and deployed a highly efficient system.

This system integrates functions like search, identification, warning, and elimination.

What’s even more astounding is that not only Eastern City, but the entire vast territory and large population of Great Xia are all tightly guarded by this system.

We can imagine that the number of civilians that died due to Yetis in Great Xia must be very small.

Anthony compared in his mind and sighed: "The technological level of the Great Xia people has already left the Carmenians behind."

In the media of the Western Hemisphere, the Carmenia Federation is still presented as the global tech highland and the study model for Western Hemisphere countries.

But Anthony knew the media never told the truth, deliberately ignoring the achievements of Eastern Great Xia.

He was full of envy: "If Yilete had this system, it would be great."

But he understood that the Great Xia people would never sell this system to Yilete.

After all, Yilete is still considered an ally of the Carmenians, with a large number of Yilete’s top officials being die-hard supporters of the Carmenia Federation.

Anthony lay back on the bed again, tossing and turning for almost an hour before he finally fell into a deep sleep.

However.

He hadn’t slept for long when the alarm went off again.

A Yeti appeared nearby again.

This Yeti by coincidence was right on the street outside the hotel door.

Anthony boldly pulled open the curtains a slit, peering at the Yeti through the glass.

This time, it was a snow deer.

He personally witnessed the entire process of the drone group dealing with the Yeti.

The loudspeakers carried by the drones emitted a strange "buzzing" sound, which sounded somewhat like sawing wood, just sharper than that.

The Yeti seemed intrigued by the "buzzing" sound, constantly spewing ice pills to attack the drones.

But the drones were very agile, and the ice pills all missed.

Two drones flew to low altitude, continuously circling the snow deer to prevent the drones from entering the surrounding buildings.

After a few seconds.

A drone suddenly flew out from a hidden angle, swooping down on the snow deer.

When it was a dozen meters away from the Yeti, it dropped a dark object, then quickly climbed back up.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound was heard.

The Yeti was hit by the projectile.

The projectile "poofed" and burst, instantly transforming into a large, peculiar pale flame, enveloping the Yeti.

In the blink of an eye.

The flame extinguished.

The snow deer vanished without a trace.

Anthony was startled, numerous questions sprouting in his mind.

What kind of flame is this?

He had watched videos online of incendiary bombs attacking Yetis, where the Yeti burned all over but still struggled for quite a while before turning into a puddle of water.

In comparison, this particular flame instantly took out the Yeti.

Anthony naturally could see that the strange bomb dropped by the drone must be a special weapon developed by the Great Xia people specifically for Yetis.

Unable to sleep, he contacted a friend in the country’s defense industry, asking if the friend knew what this weapon was.

But his friend couldn’t say.

Anthony thought for a moment and simply called the receptionist again, asking the same question.

Unexpectedly, the receptionist knew the answer: "Sir, this kind of bomb is called the ’White Flame Bomb’, and the core ingredient is reportedly extracted from a rare substance found in the Red Fire Coal Mines."

Anthony murmured "Red Fire Coal," recalling that it was a special mineral deposit that emerged after the Superpower Era began.

He truly thought the Great Xia people were too smart.

Anthony probed further: "Where did you learn this information from?"

The receptionist laughed: "This is information released by the Great Xia people, and over a hundred thousand people in Eastern City know it."

Anthony was pensive.

He had a guess: "Extracting this special substance from Red Fire Coal probably is very difficult, and other countries likely can’t achieve it, which is why the Great Xia people directly released this information."

Due to being woken up twice consecutively, he didn’t fall asleep again until past four in the morning, and woke up at eight.

The total sleep time didn’t exceed five hours, so he naturally was listless.

"Beep!"

Only a soft sound of scanning was heard, and the faucet at the washstand dripped hot water.

This was charged hot water, costing 2 Xia Yuan per minute.

Of course.

Great Xia National ID holders get it for free.

As for this discrimination against non-Great Xia citizens, Anthony was too indifferent to complain anymore.

He quickly washed up, spending another 50 Xia Yuan for breakfast at the hotel.

The price wasn’t considered low.

If it weren’t for a business trip, where all expenses could be reimbursed, Anthony really wouldn’t have splurged.

In fact.

Ever since Canglan Star entered the Age of Calamity, the exchange rate of Xia Yuan had been rapidly rising.

Just take the exchange rate of Xia Yuan for Carmenia Dollar for example.

Before the calamity, the ratio was 1 to 4.4, meaning 1 Carmenia Dollar could be exchanged for 4.4 Xia Yuan.

Now the exchange rate has soared to 1 to 1.8, more than doubling.

For foreigners, the most straightforward feeling is that Great Xia’s goods are getting more and more expensive.

Behind the exchange rate changes, the essence is Great Xia’s power rapidly increasing.

Great Xia is Canglan Star’s number one industrial nation, and the calamity severely damaged the industry of other countries; now only Great Xia can supply goods to the global market.

The entire world cannot do without Great Xia; even if Great Xia goods increase in price, they can only grudgingly accept it.

At eight thirty.

Anthony got into the taxi he had booked in advance last night.

He hired this car for the whole day, planning to thoroughly inspect Eastern City’s situation.

This driver was not just a driver, but also served as the guide for this inspection.

The driver controlled the vehicle forward while speaking: "Sir, since you want to set up a company in Eastern City, I suggest you definitely pay attention to the Pioneer Alliance’s press conference tonight."

Anthony was stunned.

This was the second time he heard the word "press conference," the first time was on the shuttle bus from the airport to the city area.

He said, "I heard the Great Xia Ghost will personally attend the press conference. This big figure should be announcing important information, right?"

The driver nodded: "It is said to be very very big news."

The driver repeated "very big" twice, indicating his view on the matter.

The driver provided evidence: "I also heard that in recent days at least 2000 Great Xia Superpower Users have arrived."

Anthony was a bit surprised: "So many?"

Increasingly curious, he wondered: "What exactly is the matter that makes the Great Xia people do such a big show?"

The driver laughed: "Sir, I’m just a taxi driver. How could I know so much?"

The driver leaked a rumor: "I took two passengers the other day, and they said that the Great Xia Ghost had entered the Sea of Death Black Sand a few days ago."

Anthony immediately understood the driver’s meaning: "The content of the press conference might be related to this matter?"

The driver nodded: "Very likely! That two passengers also said that the Great Xia Ghost brought back quite a lot from the Sea of Death Black Sand."

Anthony became interested: "I’ll definitely watch the press conference at 8 PM."

After a while.

The taxi turned a corner.

The driver glanced ahead, slowly pressing on the brakes: "The road ahead seems closed."

Anthony’s eyesight was sharper, seeing the people ahead clearly: "Lots of Great Xia soldiers, probably preparing for the press conference, right?"

The driver nodded: "Probably so."

He gently turned the steering wheel: "Sir, we’ll have to detour."

Anthony said: "Then let’s detour."

The taxi drove to a spot about a dozen meters from the soldiers, turning onto a small road.

Anthony turned to glance at the Great Xia soldiers ahead, feeling his mind shaken, eyes suddenly opening wide.

He saw a dreamy graceful figure.

It was a female Great Xia soldier.

Her features were incredibly delicate, considered a rare beauty, yet she exuded a heroic and vibrant aura.

This was a very rare trait.

At first glance, Anthony was strongly impressed.

Even after the taxi drove off far, he still felt disoriented.

*

Meanwhile.

Zhao Xiaoying turned to glance at the tail of the taxi, her brows slightly furrowed.

Just now she sensed someone in the car staring at her.

Long-legged Sister thought for a moment, pulling up her mask, and ordered: "Check that taxi just now."

The soldier beside her immediately responded: "Yes!"
