My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 210 - 207 Problematic Land

This Sub-territory, unlike the main Territory, is merely a stronghold in Luoxia—Tang Yu had no intention of expanding it.

His core focus was always on the main Territory back there; Green Shadow was still in the early stages of major construction, and they hadn't even settled the main Territory, let alone had the energy to develop a Sub-territory. In his vision, this place was an organization that would continuously supply him Source Crystals, materials, and intelligence.

The premise of it all was to have an unobstructed piece of land in Luoxia, houses...even if they were purchased, demolishing and rebuilding them would inevitably attract attention from others.

Tang Yu still had some half-baked ideas, but the time hadn't come yet.

The last remaining fortress construction opportunity, he planned to use it in the Lindong area, to choose a relatively hidden location and build it, also without plans for expansion—merely as a backup. He was aware of the saying "a crafty rabbit has three burrows."

After the main Territory developed in the future and he wanted to expand his domain and build a real Sub-territory, the level of the Territory would certainly have risen by then, granting more construction permissions for Sub-territories. Therefore... The things in his hands had to be used up quickly; it would be a shame to let them expire.

The receptionist hadn't run back to inform yet.

A middle-aged man in a suit, whose tie was not properly fastened, giving him a somewhat disheveled appearance, ran down frantically from the second floor.

The person who had just been in charge of receiving Winnie let out a sigh of relief when he saw this man and quickly trotted up to speak with the supervisor in a low voice, occasionally looking back carefully at Winnie.

With a panicked expression.

The balding middle-aged supervisor coughed to cover his embarrassment and adjusted his tie as he walked forward. His legs were still shaking a bit. He glanced at the bulging backpack on the floor and some Source Crystals scattered around, trying to maintain his composure.

"Miss…you want to buy land, but… but we only rent houses here."

His expression was troubled, and he dared not reject her too directly.

His entire face took on the color of constipation.

…

Winnie had anticipated such a response; the land within the Sanctuary had become even more precious after the apocalypse, and the officials wouldn't have plans to sell it.

However, nothing is impossible for a person with money—if the other party refused, it surely meant the price was not high enough…at least in most cases.

She took out the Source Crystals and demonstrated her strength as a way to tell them that she could afford the price and had the right to negotiate. Of course, she wasn't looking to be taken advantage of; the Lord had already mentioned in the contract information that, should the cost be too high, she should abandon the purchase plan, as the Lord had plans B1B2B3 in reserve.

Winnie didn't beat around the bush and laid out her direct terms.

She wasn't good at negotiating or haggling, but the initial release of her aura, besides proving her credentials, was also more intimidating. At least, the supervisor in front of her, a middle-aged man with the strength of the Fourth Layer of Awakening, now cowered.

It appeared her plan was feasible.

The balding supervisor, with a bitter face, hesitated, "You mean, in addition to Source Crystals, you can also provide rune Equipment and trade with rune Equipment…Are they really that kind of rune Equipment?"

As middle-upper management, he'd heard some rumors.

Rune Equipment might become the mainstream equipment in the future, and scientists were working hard to overcome the challenges associated with rune Equipment, but to his knowledge, it wasn't going very smoothly.

Currently, only a few large Sanctuaries had mastered the manufacturing method for rune Equipment.

Right now, the Equipment that was being offered looked very much like the legendary rune Equipment…he didn't have time to wonder where these Equipment came from, but if they were genuine…

The balding supervisor's heart started pounding rapidly.

He took out a communicator unique to middle and upper management, made some operations, and after a series of crackling electrical noises, the communicator finally transmitted a voice.

Soon, several bespectacled, shabbily dressed researchers who looked very scholarly hurried over.

Some of them took out their portable instruments, others repeatedly caressed the weapons, some of them stared so intently at the pieces of Equipment that they almost drooled.

"There's no mistake, these are truly rune Equipment, and they're engraved with various types of runes!"

These researchers were obsessed with rune Equipment. The balding supervisor even suspected that if today's trade didn't go through and they failed to get their hands on rune Equipment, these researchers might just engage him in a real fight.

He wiped his forehead, though there was no actual sweat, as Winnie's attitude shifted once again.

The thought of selling the land had loosened in his mind.

The Sanctuary had no lack of Source Crystals, but these rune equipment could possibly help scientists deliver the last kick in their research on rune equipment.

By then, he could consider himself a contributor.

Moreover, the strength of the two individuals before him was not what surprised him the most, and what he found even more unbelievable was the little girl beside the young woman. She looked to be only around eleven or twelve but emanated the aura of an Awakener at the Sixth Layer.

The middle-aged manager couldn't fathom how a child of this age, even if Awakened, could have progressed step by step to this point... The more he thought about it, the more he found the other party inscrutable. Even with the support of the Sanctuary and being a subordinate of a high-ranking official's direct lineage, he did not wish to antagonize them.

The bald manager left for a while and then hurried back, saying, "As it happens, we have a piece of land available for transaction. However, the specific details of the deal still need further discussion."

...

...

Aside from the land, Tang Yu also had Winnie rent two detached villas.

To use as a temporary transition.

When Tang Yu returned from the Martial Arts Hall with his cousin and a few others and brought his parents to the villas, they were all stunned.

Quietly, he had rented two villas.

This was an expenditure of over a hundred Source Crystals!

Apart from being stunned, his parents also felt distressed. Tang Yu had anticipated this and slipped away quietly.

"Cousin, you have to cover for me with my parents, and explain to them that I really haven't been spending money recklessly..."

His cousin gave a wry smile; he truly saw that his younger cousin was not an ordinary Awakener, "So where are you planning to go now? You're unfamiliar with Luoxia, how about letting Xiaojia accompany you?"

"No need, you might not believe this but I just bought a piece of land and am about to go check it out."

Tang Yu's voice gradually disappeared into the distance.

His cousin stood there, dumbfounded.

After pondering, did he believe it, or not?

...

After leaving the high-end community's gate, Tang Yu and Eileen met up with a few others. Using the mental contact from the contract with Winnie like a high-end GPS navigation system, they soon arrived at the location of the land.

The area was located at the edge of Luoxia Sanctuary, quite secluded, but apart from that, the surrounding environment was rather pleasant, teeming with greenery.

It was said that the land originally belonged to a high-ranking official of the Sanctuary who had planned to build a high-end residential community here, complete with a cultivation club and a series of functional buildings, making this location the most integrated and high-end community popular among Awakeners.

However, construction had not even begun when the project was... forced to halt.

"It's said that during the start of construction, they dug up a burrow, and a number of Demonized Beasts came running out, making the area unsafe and consequently, the project could no longer continue," explained Tang Yu.

Tang Yu understood that because of the issues with the land, he was able to acquire it so smoothly. Otherwise, even if he had offered rune equipment and other items that Luoxia coveted in trade, the plot of land he would have got wouldn't have been as large as the one now.

Also because of the problems with the land, the cost was less than expected; aside from a batch of rune equipment, the amount of Source Crystals he paid wasn't high. Apart from the security issue of the land, everything else was more than satisfactory to him.

As for the problem of Demonized Beasts, once the Territory was built, no problem would remain a problem. Winnie had inspected it beforehand and her answer to him was that, while troublesome, it was just that – troublesome.

The area was cordoned off with police tape, with soldiers patrolling around, and further afield, powerful military searchlights spread light far and wide, making it seem almost like daytime at a glance.

Tang Yu, however, understood that such a deployment indicated the area had serious issues.

He thought it would make sense; if the situation wasn't severe, the land problem would not have remained unsolved until now.

He grew curious. What sort of Demonized Beasts were they, that the Sanctuary hadn't managed to solve the issue after all this time?
