Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Announcement
“Yes and no,” Samuel said. He could hear what these two people were talking about, so he chose to interject.

“While some of the magic cores will be left behind for research, the rest can be used in this way. There are more magic beast rank 1 each day and their number is estimated to increase in the future.”

Unless you can seal all the cracks.

But there were too many cracks and the government had long given up on the thought of sealing these cracks. After all, no one knew what they needed to close that crack.

So far, no one dared to enter the crack and they had to estimate the depths of the crack. How much materials would be needed to cover up those big cracks?

No one knew.

So it would be more cost effective for them to think about how to deal with these magic beasts that came out rather than dealing with the cracks. Even if some people wanted to close those cracks, it was not something they could possibly do in a short term.

“And you can’t use these magic cores directly,” Amelia added and pursed her lips.

If they could use these magic cores directly, there would be many people who covet it. But now, they didn’t dare to use these magic cores.

“Has this matter been spread out?” Riya asked.

“Yes?” Amelia looked at Riya strangely. “Did you not listen to the announcement? Countless radios that could still be connected will announce this matter all over the world. Our nation is not the only one who know about this.”

“All over the world?” Riya was stunned.

The Green Planet was a big planet and there were also several nations. These nations were formed over a long history in the past with each of them had their own advantage and disadvantage.

Most importantly…

These nations were not exactly in peaceful relationship with everyone.

There were some nations that were stronger than the others and there were also other nations that were lagging behind. Physical wars were not very common in this era but there were many other types of war such as business wars and intelligent wars.

So how did these people suddenly cooperate together and willing to announce the matter of the magic beasts to the world outside like this?

“Yes.” Amelia nodded and then looked at her brother. “The appearance of these magic beasts caused the government from many nations decided to work together. I heard it from my brother too, so I don’t know the details.”

Riya blinked her eyes.

Facing the enemies of the entire world, these nations naturally curbed their arrogance and willing to work together to a certain degree. Because of this, the information about the magic beasts were passed over and announced to everyone in the world in such a crude way.

No way.

Who made the earthquake destroyed most of the communication tower?

Even if they wanted to use other methods to spread this news out, it was not so easy. The method they thought of was to use the existing radio to spread the news. This method was dumb but if it could save lives, why not?

“I see.”

“So, how did you not manage to hear these?” Amelia asked.

“…I was in the area that the news didn’t reach?” Riya tried to explain, unsure if this made sense. After all, she couldn’t really say that she entered the crack and stayed there for days just to get more magic beasts’ corpses and reached that special magic core.

“I see.” Amelia nodded, not suspicious at all.

The three of them had reached the research institute and Samuel stepped forward, preparing to make the card for Riya so that she could enter in the future. Of course, the areas she could pay a visit to would be limited.

“By the way, how did you distribute the resources in the base before?” Riya asked.

“There are two canteen, one for the people in the villa areas and one for the people in the dormitory areas,” Amelia replied. “You can buy food and water in the canteen for contribution points. It’s not expensive but not many people are willing to spare contribution points to buy these if they still have some.”

It was still early and some people who came to the base were not that poor. They managed to scavenge for some items, including food and drinks. Of course, there were also people who needed to buy food from the canteen because they didn’t have any.

“For workers who build the wall, the military gave a glass of water for free. It’ll be given after their works are done and they have to line up while bringing some containers on their own,” Amelia continued her explanation.

For the sake of free water and contribution points, many people rushed over to build the wall. However, they needed strong people, so some people who were not qualified to take the job were not picked.

“I see.” Riya nodded.

It was a good way to give incentives so that the people would be more diligent in doing their work.

Speaking about building the wall…

Why did he not use magic spell?

There were also some magic spells that could easily build the walls if he wanted to use them. Riya knew some of them since they were part of the few daily magic that was used by many people.

In that world, there was basically not many true construction worker.

They would use spells to make walls, erect the doors and so on as quickly as possible.

‘But those spells does consume a lot of mana.’

Thinking about the fact that a magic warrior’s mana was limited… Riya chose not to mention about this matter. Even if Samuel had reached rank 4, it didn’t mean that his mana was a lot. It was definitely less than 10% of hers, especially because her mana amount increased after her runes construction in her heart.
