Chapter 584 A Grain of Sand in the Great Era
Chapter 584 A Grain of Sand in the Great Era
Binhai City is an emerging city in the eastern coastal area of Jambu Continent.
Adjacent to the East China Sea, this city has unique advantages. In just over a decade, it has developed from a small fishing village into the third largest city in the territory of the Demon Alliance of Southern Continent.
The city has three pillar industries, namely fisheries, logistics and services.
Fisheries are easy to understand. Binhai is one of the few cities that has obtained an ocean fishing license issued by Longgong. If a fishing boat goes out to sea without a fishing license, the East China Sea aquarium will not be responsible for any unexpected events.
However, if a fishing boat with a fishing license is wrecked and sinks, it would be a natural disaster, but if it is attacked by aquatic creatures, the coastal police will not need to intervene, as the Dragon Palace will arrest the aquatic creatures that caused the accident and punish them severely in accordance with the relevant laws of the Demon Alliance.
The canned sea fish produced in Binhai are sold in the four continents and are even loved by the royal court of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the princes and lords.
The logistics industry is because this is the transit station for the East China Sea aquariums to transport marine products to the land. There are sea and land logistics parks and sea and land product wholesale markets. Marine treasures are sold to the inland, and inland products are shipped to the sea, all of which must be transferred through Binhai City.
At the same time, Binhai City will also build a large deep-water port wharf, and the ocean-going transport ships from Nanzhanbuzhou will conduct ocean trade to Dongshengshenzhou and Beijuluzhou by sea.
The service industry is well developed because any important transportation hub or trade port will have many caravans and merchant ships staying here to rest and recuperate, and sailors and escorts with good spending power will gradually drive it forward.
A Chamber of Commerce transport ship slowly landed at a freight yard on the outskirts of the city. A large number of soldiers wearing Iron Man armor gathered around the landing apron.
The Seaside City Police Department also sent a large number of uniformed police officers.
In addition to these uniformed military and police officers, officials and medical personnel sent by the Civil Affairs Bureau and the National Health Insurance Administration were also waiting nearby.
The transport ship came to a steady stop and the hatch slowly opened. Inside the cargo hold where the cargo was originally loaded, stood a group of ragged, dishevelled monsters with terrified looks on their faces.
"There are two immortal-level monsters among the escort personnel this time. All units, please pay attention and be on guard!"
A bear demon wearing a police uniform with a star on his shoulder badge solemnly ordered: "Take the two big demons to the underwater transfer station. Their final destination is the No. 4 New Energy Center."
"The rest of the little monsters are the immigrant monsters assigned to Seaside City this time. They will first be quarantined and vaccinated by the National Health Insurance Administration, and then handed over to the Civil Affairs Bureau to carry out resettlement work."
"All units, act according to the established plan!"
The bear demon commander waved his hand, and the neatly lined-up soldiers, policemen and civil servants of the demon alliance immediately performed their duties and took action.
In a dark corner deep in the cargo hold, a pair of big, bright eyes slowly opened. The sunlight outside the cabin door could not reach here for a while, so it could hide in the shadow for a while.
The owner of those eyes sighed secretly, and as if he had made up his mind, he took a step forward and walked out of the shadows silently.
It was a cat demon in the third stage of transformation, emitting a faint demonic aura of the initial stage of golden elixir. Its fur was as black as ink, but it had a pair of heterochromatic eyes of gold and green.
The cat demon has a slender figure and a charming face. After its third-stage transformation, it has already taken on the rudiments of a human body, and it can be seen that it is a female cat demon.
She is only 1.3 meters tall, a standard cat demon body shape, and at first glance looks like a little loli with cat ears.
The cat demon turned around and took out two little balls of fur from the dark corner. The two little balls of fur had no idea that their journey had ended and were still snoring softly.
They were two kittens, but their transformation levels were lower. One of them was at the first level, still in the appearance of a cat, while the other was at the second level, with a slightly slimmer body, especially the legs which became longer and straighter, making it easier to stand and walk.
"Oh, Mom, are we being taken to prison? I'm afraid..."
One of the kittens was still sleeping carefree, while the other, slightly bigger one had already woken up. Looking through the cargo hold window, it saw the fully armed armored soldiers outside, and it couldn't help but huddle and bury its head in the big cat's arms.
"Don't be afraid, mom is here..." The cat demon comforted softly, but a bit of uneasiness could be seen in her eyes.
She leaned close to the cargo hold window and saw that the door of another cargo hold of the transport ship was also opened.
A burly monster with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a sturdy body, with his hands locked with iron chains, was escorted out by several armored soldiers while roaring softly.
It was a fierce monster, shaped like a tiger but slightly smaller, but even more ferocious and brutal than a tiger.
The ferocious monster exuded a fierce murderous aura. The aura of the immortal-level monster made the smaller monsters in the warehouse feel instinctive fear. The timid ones among them collapsed to the ground with weak legs.
Following the fierce monster, a python monster was also brought out. The python monster's head was as big as a millstone, and it had a foot-long tongue. Its pair of vertical eyes flashed a cold red light.
The python monster had a sinister aura, murderous intent, and a faint smell of blood. Many of the little monsters in the warehouse seemed to have their souls taken away, and were frozen and unable to move.
The cat demon also shrank its body to show its fear, and held the two kittens in its arms, protecting them under its body.
But her big eyes were still bright and she would glance over secretly from time to time.
The cat demon Puna is actually also a great demon at the fairy level, but her innate magical power is to hide her breath. This unique magical power can even hide from the search of the demon-summoning banner.
The two big monsters who were being escorted got off the transport ship. They looked at each other and exchanged glances. The python monster laughed wildly and said, "With a bunch of you, a bunch of rabble with not even one person in the Mahayana stage, do you think you can hold me, the python king, at bay?"
Before he could finish his words, his body began to twist like noodles, and his two arms that were locked with iron chains seemed to have no bones, and he broke free from the restraints with just a slight pull.
After the python escaped, it shook its body and knocked away several armored soldiers escorting him.
The enormous force caused those soldiers to be shot out like cannonballs, falling onto the cargo boxes piled up nearby, denting a large piece of the empty metal containers.
The beast also took advantage of the situation and attacked. Its sharp claws popped out and cut through the chain. It cut the chain with just a slight flick. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, shining with metallic silver light.
The two giant monsters ran side by side, rushing towards the vast fields outside the city, as if they were about to escape to heaven and regain their freedom in the next moment.
The bear demon commander watched coldly and muttered in a low voice: "Alas, this year's performance has gone to waste..."
He was not in a hurry at all, just waved his hand helplessly, and the armored soldiers in line jumped up, formed into several teams of three, and chased after them swiftly and orderly.
The cat demon quickly carried the two kittens to the other side of the cargo hold and looked through the porthole to see whether the two immortal-level demons had escaped successfully.
In the direction where the two big monsters were fleeing, colorful lights kept flashing, reflecting the slightly frightened face of the cat monster. A series of explosions sounded, but soon subsided.
Soon, several armored soldiers flew back, dragging two black bodies and threw the two mutilated corpses in front of the bear monster commander.
"How long has it been since you last fired a gun? Don't you know how to light a fire?"
Unexpectedly, the bear demon commander flew into a rage, pointing at the soldiers' noses and yelling, "The New Energy Center will definitely ask us for compensation. Do you know how much a fairy-grade environmentally friendly battery is worth? You destroyed two in a matter of minutes!"
The cat demon who was watching all this from afar couldn't help but shudder and hugged the child in his arms tighter.
