Chapter 83: Internal Stability
Busy with enhancing his strength and planning for the Zerg swarm, Qin Mu had not paid much attention to Luo Feng. However, thinking about the timeline, Luo Feng should have entered City 003 for training with the Fire Hammer Squad by now.
In the original timeline, a Level 3 Rat Tide was supposed to break out in November, but it did not happen in reality. In the city and the wilderness, the Zerg swarm had hunted down tens of millions of rat-type monsters, including many Horde Leader ones. It was likely that the Horde Leader rat-type monster, which was supposed to lead the Rat Tide, had been inadvertently killed by the Zerg swarm.
Yet, Luo Feng still encountered the Tiger Fang Squad, the Thunder Squad, and Li Wei. Perhaps it was fate that some people were destined to die.
Especially after Qin Mu investigated the information on the HR Alliance and looked up the profiles of the couple known as the "Vulture and Scorpion." Indeed, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. This couple was Limitly ruthless and had done many outrageous things.
However, they were powerful and considered notable figures even among high-level warriors. Li Yao was a high-level warrior and owned the Black God Suit. Scorpion, or Venina Paulinus, was the younger sister of the contemporary patriarch of the Paulinus family, one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance, and was also a high-level warrior.
As long as they were not too excessive, their actions were usually overlooked. Their only son, Li Wei, had secretly done many despicable things. These three were already on the list of people to be dealt with. Originally, the plan was to handle them after clearing out the monsters. Unexpectedly, they dared to jump out at this time.
In the past, if such a reward was issued, as long as it did not involve ordinary people or actions within the base city, the military would not interfere and would just watch the spectacle.
But now?
A reward of this level would attract even high-level Wargods. How much turmoil would this cause?
Moreover, although the HR Alliance was not particularly strong among warriors, they had significant influence in the economic and commercial circles. For example, the HR Alliance almost monopolized the communication watch business and even left backdoors in the watches to locate every warrior. When global unification is achieved, if such vital resources are controlled by a private enterprise, it would be a path to destruction.
"Let's advance the cleanup operation! Bring out all the evidence of the HR Alliance's crimes to light."
Qin Mu's eyes flashed with cold light. When he had the idea of unifying the world, he had specifically tasked the military to collect intelligence on these people, especially related criminal evidence, waiting for the right time to act.
Ninety-nine percent of the HR Alliance's top management needed to be held accountable. Sometimes, you wouldn't know until you see it. When a person has power and authority, their heart can become incredibly dark. At times, humans can be more terrifying than monsters.
"Understood. According to the intelligence we have, there are over 200 people in the HR Alliance who have enough evidence to be sentenced to death, over 3,000 who have committed serious crimes, and over 10,000 who have committed lesser crimes!"
Jia Yi's voice was somewhat heavy. He had known that enterprises like the HR Alliance were filled with darkness, but he had not expected it to be this severe. Even government and military personnel were implicated and needed to be cleaned up.
"Then let's clean them all up. Not just the HR Alliance, but also any rotten parts within ourselves. If there are any corrupt elements, they should be cut off. Additionally, hold the HR Alliance headquarters accountable. Ask them what they are trying to do. If they have any objections, I don't mind dealing with them before handling the monsters. Let's see who has issues with us."
Qin Mu's tone was filled with killing intent. Anyone who dared to obstruct his plans would face a physical cleanup.
"After cleaning them up, according to the plan, integrate the warriors from the Limit Dojo and the Thunder Dojo into the military warrior teams to prepare for the monster onslaught. The Limit Dojo and the Thunder Dojo should have already issued notifications. They have enjoyed privileges; now it's time to work for it."
Since returning from Misty Island, Qin Mu had obtained over a hundred spirits of nature. Some were sent to the Nests for analysis, and the remaining were used to create powerful warriors within the military.
Qin Mu was already one of the highest-ranking individuals in the military. Although Qin Mu was not too concerned about these, he had selected a group of people with clean backgrounds and granted them spirits of nature, creating a batch of powerful warriors. The rest were given to the military to enhance its strength.
Not only that, but Qin Mu also planned to use a batch of spirits of nature to reward warriors who performed exceptionally well in the upcoming war. This would also serve to subtly enhance Luo Feng's strength.
Qin Mu was not too concerned about these spirits of nature because the Nests had successfully analyzed the gene of the Thousand Year Willow Heart, allowing for mass production. However, the energy consumption for producing each spirit of nature was equivalent to that of a high-level Horde Leader Zerg unit. From a purely strength perspective, it was quicker to incubate a Zerg unit.
Of course, the added value of the spirits of nature was immense. Whether on Earth or in the future in the universe, selling them as commodities would be much more profitable than ordinary Horde Leader Zerg units. In the universe, it might be different, but on Earth, these were priceless treasures, highly sought after by all factions.
Unfortunately, the analysis of the Cloud Vine had not been successful yet; otherwise, Qin Mu could have mass-produced Cloud Vines. Once the analysis was successful, he would provide a Cloud Vine each to Hong and Lei Shen. With their strength, they could single-handedly kill a Beast Emperor in the deep sea without much difficulty.
After Qin Mu and Jia Yi's communication ended, Jia Yi and three other council members, along with a large number of high-level warriors, began arresting the relevant individuals according to the list.
In the HR Alliance, Vulture Li Yao and Scorpion Venina Paulinus were somewhat bewildered after the wanted notice was issued. Especially when they saw the live broadcast of the war, with the overwhelming Zerg swarm tearing through the beast tide and Qin Mu easily subduing the four King-level beasts, they knew trouble was brewing.
The problem was, the wanted notice had already been issued. How could they take it back?
Although they had lost much of their rationality in their anger, the remaining rationality told them it was best not to cause trouble at this time. When they saw a large number of military soldiers led by Jia Yi appear outside the HR Alliance headquarters in Jiangnan Base City, they knew they were in big trouble.
Facing warriors who surpassed the level of high-level warriors, they wisely chose not to resist. Instead, they urgently contacted the headquarters of the HR Alliance, hoping that the Paulinus family could bail them out. After all, in their view, they hadn't done anything too outrageous.
But when they saw the entire HR Alliance headquarters in Jiangnan Base City sealed off by the military and a large number of HR Alliance executives being taken away, they truly panicked. They didn't know that at the same time they were being arrested, other branches of the HR Alliance in five other base cities were also being completely sealed off.
After the successful arrests, Jia Yi directly entered the Palace of Wargods and, in front of everyone, found HR Alliance Chairman Isadonna and repeated Qin Mu's words to her. The entire HR Alliance was thrown into panic. Since returning from Misty Island, the HR Alliance's Atkin and Fa Er had been in a state of self-isolation and fear, almost incapacitated. At this point, who didn't know how terrifying Qin Mu's strength was?
If he were to come to the headquarters of the HR Alliance at this time, it would likely result in a massive purge.
Even HR Alliance Chairman Isadonna, after learning about the internal situation, mentally cursed Li Yao and Venina Paulinus. It just the death of one son, can't they just have another one?
Not to mention the HR Alliance, even Luo Feng, who had been hiding, was shocked. Originally, after being wanted, Luo Feng was filled with anxiety and couldn't even trust his Fire Hammer Squad teammates. Under such pressure, his mental state even led to a breakthrough in his sword technique.
But the next moment, he received a notification from the Limit Dojo. Then, Jia Yi's global speech began, and he witnessed Qin Mu leading the Zerg swarm to easily crush the beast tide led by the four King-level beasts.
He saw the Iron Dragon, which had chased him relentlessly, being swept up into the beast tide. Then the Iron Dragon was killed by a Mammoth. This left Luo Feng to developed a sense of admiration for his former classmate, Qin Mu.
But it didn't end there. Soon after, Luo Feng saw the news of the HR Alliance being sealed off. The once high and mighty Vulture Li Yao was dragged out like a dead dog and thrown into a military prison.
The wanted notice was canceled, and the terrifying pressure was inexplicably gone. Even he and the entire Fire Hammer Squad were incorporated into a warrior unit in Jiangnan Base City. Everything happened so quickly that Luo Feng felt a sense of unreality. Even when he entered the military camp with the Fire Hammer Squad, Luo Feng was still in a daze.
"What is going on??"
