Chapter 1524: Revisiting the Past

The corporate representative of the company was a nobody.

Apart from the interview manuscript the size of a piece of dried tofu in Monster Weekly, it was hard to find news related to Horizon online.

Meng Chao found several articles in Monster Weekly, related to monster fecal fermentation technology, from more companies in the same industry. There were longer articles, more pictures, and interview videos.

It was a series of reports.

Horizon was only one of the subjects of the interview. It was an insignificant supporting role.

Therefore, it was likely that the writer had come to Horizon’s door and forced Horizon to accept the interview.

“This company is very low-key!”

Meng Chao discovered that Horizon was registered in a high-end office building in the Financial District.

However, Ai Lei told him that the office building was famous for being a “cutthroat building.”

The companies there were all swindlers that boasted about their abilities to awaken extraordinary powers without much effort or trouble.

If Horizon was an actual business, it definitely would not operate there.

The two searched using various keywords for a long time and finally found that Horizon Biotech Limited had a breeding base for Nightmarish Beasts in Raging Waves Mountain Range.

Raging Waves Mountain Range was where Meng Chao had entered the ranks of experts after receiving the baptism of the spirit waves.

It was also where he had met Lu Siya.

It was also where he had taken the crucial step to change the future and saved the main force of the Red Dragon Army, as well as the training hopes of countless middle-level and low-level extraordinary individuals, thereby profoundly changing the face of Dragon City.

Because of the explosion of the Crimson jade vein, a large amount of spiritual energy had escaped into the air, greatly reducing the quality of the crystals stored at the bottom of the Wild Waves Mountains. The scale of the mining was far from what was expected.

However, the increase in the density of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth allowed the soil and water to be nourished, which was greatly beneficial to the growth of monsters and Spiritualized plants.

As a result, many biotechnology companies set up gene laboratories and monster breeding bases in the raging waves mountain range.

The local industrial chain also shifted from the planned mining of crystals and metal smelting to the fields of biochemical technology such as monster breeding, reproduction, and modulation.

Along the highway that had just been built, Meng Chao and Ai lei rushed to the raging waves mountain range overnight.

Meng Chao remembered that just a few years ago, the road from the main city to the raging waves mountain range was still bumpy and uneven. On both sides of the road that was barely opened up were endless dark jungles, there were countless ferocious monsters lurking in the jungles. They dared to charge at the armored train that was constantly spewing fire at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per hour.

At that time, the road was repaired and broken again and again. The roadbed was soaked in the blood of countless humans and monsters.

It was not unusual for supplies from the main city to take three days and three nights to be sent to the front line.

But now, the road was straight, flat, and sturdy. Even without the off-road mode, it could still travel at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.

The jungles on both sides of the road had been carefully pruned, and special gene reagents were sprayed every day to ensure that snakes, insects, rats, ants, and carnivorous plants that were harmful to human civilization could not survive.

Although the roars and howls of monsters could still be heard from time to time in the depths of the jungles.

But these monsters simply did not dare to appear in the sight of humans, let alone cross the line of lightning.

Such a change allowed Meng Chao to see the unyielding strength hidden in the depths of Dragon City.

It made him believe that even if dragon city needed to scrape bones to heal injuries or even break a warrior’s wrist, they would definitely be able to survive the surgery to become stronger than before.

Before dawn, the two of them arrived at the biochemical technology industrial park at the foot of the WUTAO mountain range.

The WUTAO mountain range was magnificent and undulating. Regardless of its scale or severity, it was one of the best within a radius of hundreds of kilometers around Dragon City, second only to the hidden fog domain, which owned the god of fog mountain range.

This was because the main industries shifted from crystal mining and metal smelting to Monster Breeding and modulation.

In addition to the laboratory and residential area at the foot of the mountain, the depths of the mountain range still maintained a lush appearance.

However, the forests were dotted with white inflatable tents that were more than a hundred meters in length and width, with the largest being three to five hundred meters.

Some of the tents were even built with steel beams that could withstand a level-twelve gale and become semi-permanent buildings.

Meng Chao knew that the tents were made of special materials. They looked thin, but they could lock spiritual energy inside and even change the concentration of spiritual energy inside and outside the tents for a long time while keeping the air flowing, it could be artificially created into a small “Paradise”.

A few years ago, the cost of building this kind of tent was very high.

Meng Chao remembered that at that time, the Spirit Plant Department of Nongda wanted to build a few similar tents and use them as sheds for the production of Spiritualized plants.

In the end, due to insufficient funds, they could only reduce the size of the sheds.

Now, Meng Chao could see at least thirty to fifty white tents within his sight.

The small ones were the size of a basketball stadium, and the big ones could fit into a football field.

On one hand, it was true that technological progress had brought about continuous reductions in costs.

On the other hand, it also meant that after the victory of the Monster War, the relationship between humans and the defeated, conquered, and domesticated monsters had undergone a subtle change.

It had changed from a fight to the death, to how to maximize the value of the monsters.

Because each tent had its own corporate logo.

Meng Chao and Ai Lei soon found the breeding base of Horizon Biotechnology Co. , Ltd. .

This base was located in the deepest part of the entire biochemical industry park.

It had almost penetrated into the hinterland of the raging waves mountain range.

It was seven to eight hundred meters away from the breeding base of the nearest other companies.

At first glance, the mountain was high and dense, far away from the water source, and the spiritual energy was not as dense as the central area of the biochemical industry park. Transportation could only rely on a narrow path, behind it was a cliff that was thirty to forty meters below the ground. It was not a good place without space for second-stage development.

However, if the horizon was really weird, this was the most suitable location.

“It is located in the heart of the forest, at the end of the road. Any vehicle that enters it will be discovered and controlled immediately.

“With my back against the cliff, I don’t have to worry that someone will come up from behind.

“Although the space on the ground is not large, the underground of the furious waves mountain range is full of caves. After the explosion of the Crimson Brilliance Jade Lode, many of the caves were further torn apart and expanded, forming a complicated maze. With the intense interference of the spiritual magnetism, even an entire army with high-precision exploration tools might not be able to map every crevice in the underground, let alone find out what kind of unspeakable tricks some ill-intentioned people were up to in the crevices!

“In the worst-case scenario, if something unexpected happens, one only needs to jump off the cliff and dive into the depths of wild waves mountain. It will be easy for one to escape from the endless primeval forest.

“In fact, a lot of traps and armories have already been set up in the depths of the forest. One can use the forest as their home ground and fight to the death with the intruders!”

Meng Chao also noticed that the defense here was very tight.

At the periphery of the breeding base, there were not only seven or eight layers of high-voltage power grids and dozens of crossfire points, but also more than ten sentry posts with high-power searchlights.

There were also two-digit drones buzzing in the air.

At this moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

It was reasonable to infer that these drones were on duty day and night without stopping.

Of course, in the field of monster breeding and gene production, safety was definitely the most important issue.

If the safety measures were not in place, if the gene production went wrong and the wild and untamable monsters escaped from the breeding base, it would be a huge disaster.

However, Meng Chao still felt that compared to the size of the breeding base where horizon could at most fit a basketball stadium, the safety measures here were a little too strict.

Moreover, many of the security measures, in Meng Chao’s professional opinion, were external and not internal.

This was a problem.

If an accident happened in the monster breeding base, the monsters could only charge out from the inside. Therefore, the focus of the firepower was definitely on the inside.

A large number of searchlights and crossfire points were faintly aimed at the outside world, especially the only road. who was he guarding against?

To avoid alerting the enemy, Meng Chao didn’t get too close.

Moreover, he believed that even if he swaggered into the white tent, or even sat in the “Horizon”laboratory, he wouldn’t be able to detect any abnormalities on the surface.

After all, this was a legitimate registered and operated business.

It was also engaged in a certain dangerous special industry.

It often had to deal with inspections from various departments and associations.

It was not convenient to refuse all interviews, including those from major media outlets.

Therefore, horizon certainly did not leave any loopholes on the surface. It was impossible to be easily seen through.

Meng Chao Thought for a moment and circled half a circle around the breeding base of “Horizon”from afar.

As expected, he found the sewage pipe.

The half-underground sewage pipe was like an extremely long python. After leaving horizon, it extended all the way to the foot of the mountain where the white tents were denser.

Meng Chao extended two fingers and flicked the exterior of the sewage pipe.

“The casting material of this sewage pipe is different from ordinary pipes. It should be used to transport monster feces.”

Meng Chao told Ai Lei, “Monster feces contain a large amount of spiritual energy residues. They are inflammable and explosive dangerous goods. If they are casually piled inside the enterprise, the slightest carelessness and excessive fermentation will easily lead to various accidents such as poisoning, fire, and even explosions.

“Special containers and equipment must be used to carry out controlled fermentation and deep treatment in order to ensure safety and turn waste into treasure. Only then can they pass the approval of the relevant departments and carry out normal production and business activities.”

Meng Chao’s family did this, so he was naturally familiar with it.

“There are two ways to deal with monster feces.

“If it’s a large-scale enterprise that raises more than a thousand monsters and has a relatively large monster body size, they will usually build a monster feces treatment workshop. Although the investment is larger at one time and it will be diluted over a long period of time, the cost is still relatively controllable. Moreover, at critical moments, it won’t be held by others. If there’s no own treatment workshop, what if the treatment capacity of other places is limited and their own monsters are especially capable of excreting? A living person can’t possibly let their urine suffocate to death, right?

“As for medium-sized enterprises, they don’t have the ability to deal with it themselves. They can only use special sewage pipes to transport the monster feces to places that have the conditions to deal with it.

“As for small-scale start-ups, they don’t even need sewage pipes. They can just use dangerous goods transport vehicles.

“Based on the area of horizon company’s cultivation shed, the number of monsters raised by their family is at least around 500 to 600. That means they have to set up a sewage pipe. Otherwise, they won’t be able to get a business license.

“On the other hand, in this biochemical technology park where the industry is concentrated, there should be a public monster excrement treatment center as a supporting facility to attract investment and provide services to manufacturers.

“That means, as long as we follow the sewage pipe and find the public monster excrement treatment center, we will know how many monsters and what kind of monsters horizon has raised. Then, we can confirm whether there is a problem with this company!”
