Kill the Sun-Novel

When the people heard that, they turned and looked at Nick.

All of them had different expressions.

Hera and Ramona were excited.

Mindy and Cindy were wary.

Ghosty and Herman were interested.

Mundus and Zarren just glanced neutrally at Nick.

A small gleam appeared in Vernon's eyes, and Aria looked like she hadn't heard anything.

Not only was Dark Dream receiving a new building, but they were also receiving an Adult.

The Adult in question was one that all the present Extractors knew of since Specters belonging to the city were not kept secret.

Working with the Talker was stressful, but it produced a good amount of Zephyx.

The Talker was a great Specter for Veterans who wanted to become more powerful.

"Dark Dream has already told the city that they will move into their new building in a month when the city's forces have cleared. Expect a great number of moving Specters during that day," the governor said. "Naturally, guards will be sent to supervise the proceedings."

None of the present people said anything.

"Now then, onto the regular topics," the governor said.

After that, he talked about the False News Specter.

Ever since the Parasite had lost its grip over the city, the False News Specter had become the biggest troublemaker, except for the Crimson Sea.

The False News was the most powerful, uncontained Specter inside the city.

It was at least a Fanatic, and no one managed to find it yet.

The False News started fake rumors in the city that gained a lot of traction.

For example, one of these rumors was that Anatomy and the governor had joined hands to get rid of Kugelblitz.

This rumor affected Kugelblitz's stock price and their public perception, and it also caused a lot of chaos and unrest in the public.

Another rumor stated that the organization behind the hospitals was sometimes capturing some of their patients and shipping them out of the city to be processed into Recovery Liquid.

Naturally, the organization behind the hospitals got angry by such baseless accusations and put pressure on the city to deal with them.

Another one was that Ghosty was secretly a powerful Specter who manipulated everyone's minds.

Usually, rumors were just rumors, and they were just part of everyday life.

However, these rumors were extremely difficult to clear, and even if a public statement regarding the rumor was made, over 70% of the people who had believed the rumor would continue believing it afterward.

It was like no kind of logic or diplomacy worked on them.

The False News didn't kill or injure anyone, but it still caused immense financial damage to the city.

Sadly, nobody could find the source of any of these stubborn rumors, which should be the False News.

And as always, no Manufacturer had any good news regarding the False News.

Everyone was just as clueless as last year.

The next thing the governor talked about was Debilify, the debilitating sickness that swept through the city.

The preventative measure Anatomy had introduced a couple of years ago helped to some degree.

The people that actually had the money to afford the preventative measure didn't get Debilify as often anymore, and if they got it, it would only affect them for around two months instead of their entire lives.

However, everyone else was out of luck.

Compared to the False News, there was actual progress to be reported in today's meeting regarding Debilify.

Ghosty's Lab created its own preventative measure, and it was a quarter of the price of Anatomy's measure.

Naturally, Anatomy was not happy at all about their lost profits, but they couldn't push too much since the governor was looking at them with severe eyes.

The next topic was about the city's plan of expansion.

For the past two years, the city had to be extremely careful about its usage of metals, but with a reestablished connection to the outside world, this was no longer a concern.Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

The governor had reopened the old iron mine about ten kilometers to the southwest of the city, and they were gaining tons of iron every day.

The city was also in the process of creating a big but isolated field of plants.

In the west of the city, they had created a two-by-two-

kilometer-wide isolated zone with huge walls.

Luckily, since strong Extractors could carry tons of materials in one go, they only needed about a month to build these huge walls of steel.

This huge wall was necessary to fight off all the slimes that would inevitably try to destroy the plants.

Inside the isolated location, Recovery Liquid had been sprayed on the ground together with water, filling the dried-up dirt with life energy.

Soon, they would cover these fields with plants.

However, these plants were not meant to be eaten but to be burned.

The goal was to produce huge amounts of ash, which mostly consisted of carbon.

Then, the city would combine the iron and the carbon to make steel, and they would use this steel to expand the city.

Over the next years, the city would focus on covering the entire Crimson Sea.

As long as there was no hole in the ground, and as long as everything was covered, the Crimson Sea might as well not exist.

Additionally, far in the future, they might even be able to convert the "container" of the Crimson Sea into some form of Containment Unit, and the city might even gain a powerful Specter that produces a lot of Zephyx.

The governor didn't know everything about the world, but he was still quite sure that not many cities could contain such a huge Force Specter.

With the current speed of production of steel, the city predicted that it would take around ten years to cover all of the Crimson Sea.

When they were done talking about the plan for the city's future, the governor talked about the next part.

Since Dark Dream now had one Specialist and one Veteran, they were powerful enough to be eligible for guard duty.

From now on, Dark Dream would have to dedicate 20% of their Johns to the city at any given time.
