My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1211
[Chapter 1194 The Alliance Chamber of Commerce returns from the expedition!]
The raindrops mixed in the mist were as sharp as needles, hitting the body as if it could tear the skin.
Especially the raindrops dripping down the back of the neck, as if they are trying to suck away all the body heat from a person, and then freeze the soul.
Fortunately, the Tianyuan Territory has already prepared corresponding measures to prevent the cold.
Whether it’s the heating tunnels that are being inspected every day, or the two new sets of warm cotton clothes that each person can replace, or the free cold-repelling soup at the entrance of each village.
A multi-pronged approach prevented the wind chill caused by the cooling from sweeping over.
However, elsewhere in the New World, the impact of the sudden cooling was severe.
Those territories with tens of thousands of people are okay. The lord has the decision-making control. He can order everyone to shrink for a while without affecting development.
But it is difficult to do this in hundreds of thousands or millions of territories. The huge population size inherently determines that it is more difficult to execute simple orders. Many lords are already worried about the spread of large-scale plague caused by cold wind.
“It’s too cold today. I wonder what other places are like.” At
the stall distributing cold-repelling soup at the outpost, Fan Fu was putting down the medicine bowl and looking to the horizon with some worry.
From being at a loss five days ago, to gradually accepting it, and now integrating into it.
In this village and town that had regained civilization, his worries began to change.
No longer the daily sustenance, nor the surrounding dangers.
More, it became a worry for other survivors in other parts of the New World.
The steward in charge of the cold-repelling soup stall took the bowl and put it into the hot water bucket next to it for high-temperature sterilization.
Then he shook his shoulders and said with a smile:
“Lao Fan, don’t worry, this wasteland hasn’t had your turn to worry about it yet.” The
manager’s name is Leng Arong. He is not an old resident, but he is also a recent resident. Newcomer in months.
Because he works diligently and conscientiously, and Lan Xingyu learns the language very quickly.
Only in this way can he stand out among tens of thousands of people, and soon he can get the position of the person in charge of the stage.
“What am I worried about? I’m just a little worried about them.”
Fan Fuzheng sighed, originally he wanted to say something harsh.
But it was difficult to disguise the words, so I could only sigh and tell the truth.
“Unlike in our territory, everyone has new clothes to wear. In my previous territory, many people were still wearing thin knitted clothes. When the cold weather comes, some of them will get seriously ill!” In the Taihu territory, all the people gathered were some high-end clothes
. A good-natured individual and a family that can endure hardships.
It can be in the wasteland, it can be in the end of the world.
In a chaotic era, good character naturally means poverty, and it is impossible to rob others and quickly accumulate wealth like those bandits.
Coming to the New World coincides with the cold winter, so I’m afraid the days ahead will be difficult.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. You also know the current situation. It’s because of the blessings of the lords and the old residents who came to the New World to endure hardships that we people are living today. Don’t think too much. You’re overthinking yourself
. It’s also uncomfortable!”
Ah Rong comforted him, his tone filled with both happiness and emotion.
After getting to know Fan Fuzheng in the past two or three days, he also knew that the talent that the lord personally recruited from the fighting arena was born with a compassionate heart.
But just like what he said, in the chaotic wasteland, kindness and kindness can’t save anyone.
On the contrary, it will cause yourself to fall into a cycle of mental internal friction.
“Brother Rong, I’m here to buy soup and medicine again. Could you please pack fifty portions? It’s urgently needed!”
While the two were talking, a Blue Star man came over with a smile on his face.
It’s Gopher Man!
The temperature has dropped in recent days, and the residents in the shelter are doing fine, but the guards who need to go out on duty are freezing.
After all, even when the temperature was the lowest in Qinggang City in the past, it was still five degrees above zero.
For example, the weather is now close to minus 30 degrees Celsius. This is the first time that everyone has been exposed to it since they were born.
“A portion is one copper coin, fifty portions, fifty copper coins.”
“Huh? The price has increased?”
Yesterday, a portion of the decoction only cost 8 copper coins, and fifty portions was only 40 copper coins.
Today, it has increased by ten?
The Blue Star person in charge of purchasing was immediately dumbfounded and counted the money in his pocket with trembling hands.
There are forty-six in total, and there are still four gaps.
“These medicinal materials do not come from the sky. They are all things that grow little by little in the ground. When the weather gets cold, the yield will drop. Furthermore,
the people who are responsible for planting the medicinal materials have to go out to take care of them in the cold weather. This is not allowed to them. Raise the salary?
The price increase has been registered. You can check it at the trading office at the main entrance.”
Leng Arong explained patiently, without any prejudice because the other party was from Blue Star.
recent months.
As the surrounding environment gradually stabilized due to the dichotomy between the Alliance and Qinggang Shelter, the demand suppressed by the struggle among the major shelters in the city also began to surge, forming a basic business environment.
And unlike previous one-on-one transactions, the two parties always have to worry about whether the other party will do something dirty.
Business today can be said to be extremely fair and transparent.
Among the two largest entities, one is the Alliance Chamber of Commerce established by the Alliance, and the other is Qinggang Market established by Qinggang Shelter.
Transactions within the control of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
Not only can you get all-round protection from Alliance soldiers to ensure that no vicious incidents will occur.
You can also go to the Tianyuan Outpost, the alliance’s main trading point.
Not only can you purchase a more complete range of goods here, but you can also check the completely fair and transparent registered prices in real time at the General Administration of Trade.
This point alone completely breaks the previous vicious trading environment where you were blind to me.
And on the other side is Qinggang Market.
Although Tang En copied these rules, he also added the benefit of door-to-door delivery.
But why are the gopher guys in the city still willing to come to the Alliance Chamber of Commerce to trade?
There are three main reasons.
First, because of the richness of types, the two cannot be compared at all.
The supplies sold by the Alliance Chamber of Commerce cover many aspects, including not only food, energy, metals, agricultural products, industrial products, building materials, medicines, daily necessities, but also powerful arms!
As long as it can pass the alliance’s review, it can be purchased at an unimaginably low price.
Second, because of the transparency of the registration price, there are credibility endorsements from managers of several shelters.
Although everyone didn’t quite believe in the character of Yehu and Aldrich, they had great trust in Mr. Sumo, the manager of Tianyuan who was majestic when he appeared and even had the ability to fight Hades.
In addition, during this period, the Alliance Chamber of Commerce did punish several examples of malicious violations.
Whether it’s just for show, it’s real.
These real-life cases are deeply imprinted in the minds of every shelter manager, leaving an extremely trustworthy impression.
And the third thing is the respect shown by Leng Arong now.
The power of the alliance is at its peak.
Especially after installing more and more tanks and weapons, it has become several times more powerful than before the Metal Sigh disaster.
In the past, when there were such terrifying forces, they would often use force to overwhelm other shelters.
But now, no matter whether it is a large or small shelter, no matter it is a resident or a manager in any shelter.
All can be respected within the alliance’s jurisdiction and treated equally.
And this is exactly what Sunny Harbor Sanctuary cannot do.
Their arrogance has been imprinted in their bones. Even if they realize that the world is different now, it will be difficult to reverse it in a short time.
“Okay, I only have forty-six copper coins here.” After counting all the money, the Blue Star person in charge of purchasing was too lazy to make a wasted trip to the Exchange Office, so he could only say helplessly.
However, before he could finish speaking, Fan Fuzheng’s voice sounded next to him.
“I’ll make up for the rest.”
“Huh?”
The Blue Star man in charge of purchasing said in surprise, thinking he had met an acquaintance from a nearby shelter.
But the next second, he froze on the spot.
“Is it you?”
“Captain Roman, we meet again.” Fan Fu was smiling and took out four copper coins from his pocket.
There are some similarities between Blue Star Language and Chinese Language.
At present, Tianyuan Territory has compiled a complete teaching book. Fan Fuzheng has only studied for five days, and he has no problem with basic communication.
Of course, the accent must sound a little strange.
“No, we can’t accept this.”
Roman was stunned, then shook his head quickly, trying to reject Fan Fuzheng’s kindness.
Being able to obtain unlimited trading rights for half a year has already put Yin’s Shelter on the fast track to development.
These days, the managers all told him to thank him properly when he found the noble person.
Why are you collecting money now without thanking me?
“It’s okay, just treat it like I lent it to you and return it to me later!”
Fan Fuzheng shook his head and simply gave the four copper coins directly to the steward Leng Arong.
After getting to know the surrounding situation in the past few days, he also knew that life in these small shelters was not much easier than in the Taihu territory.
It’s even because I have forgotten how to develop externally, and sometimes I can’t find a direction even if I try hard.
“Thank you!”
Thinking it was a loan, Roman felt relieved.
He eagerly handed over all the copper coins in his hand and watched Ah Rong counting packages of decoctions one after another from the frame at the back, with joy in his eyes.
One portion of the decoction can cook five large pots, and one pot can be shared with eighty people.
For fifty servings, almost everyone in the Silver Shelter can drink it and survive the cold winter safely.
As long as we can wait until spring when the weather gets warmer.
I heard that the Alliance and Sunny Harbor Sanctuary intend to jointly rebuild the city. Catching up with this wave of development, the life of Silver Sanctuary will soon get better.
“Thank you for saving our family before. I don’t know Blue Star Language, so forgive me!”
Fan Fu was helping to load the medicine and thanked him smoothly.
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart.
At that time, the family had just arrived in Qinggang City and experienced hundreds of radioactive beasts attacking. It was a moment of shock.
Although the team led by Roman did not play a big role, the sense of security it brought was unparalleled.
And it was he who took his family to the checkpoint and entered the Tianyuan territory without any danger.
“You are so polite. You are from the Alliance, so you are our friends!” “The
Alliance has given us so much help. Lord Sumo is willing to give us trading rights. We should also help the Alliance share its worries!”
Roman took over the disguise . The satchel is full of soup and medicine, and my heart is full of a sense of security.
There was also a bit more briskness and doglegness in his words.
In fact, just a few months ago, Yin’s Sanctuary was still in the South Suburban Alliance and looked down upon the Western Suburban Alliance at all.
But now that people who don’t know hear it, they think that the Silver Sanctuary has been a loyal supporter of the Alliance from beginning to end.
“Haha, what you said is nice, I like to hear it.”
Leng Arong raised his head after writing the sales list and was about to stuff the list into his bag.
At this moment, the alarm bells suddenly blared in the originally quiet outpost, and the street lights on both sides of the cement road began to flash yellow warning lights.
“Is the enemy coming?”
Roman was startled and subconsciously hugged the bag in his hand tightly, looking at the surrounding places where he could hide.
He is not worried about this inexplicable enemy that may appear. Is there any way for the alliance to deal with it?
If the Alliance can’t handle it, then there’s nothing the Silver Sanctuary can do.
“It’s not the enemy. Enemy invasion is represented by red light, yellow represents”
“Assembly event!”
Fan Fuzheng was very calm, recalling the manual he had read dozens of times in the past two days.
The red glow of the alarm bell represents a major emergency, and enemy invasion is one of the main reasons.
The alarm bell, with its yellow glow, represents the need for manpower to gather, not necessarily an enemy invasion.
“It’s such a cold weather. Are you gathering people together?”
“Isn’t it going to be an offensive and defensive drill?”
Leng Arong shrank his head and watched as more and more people began to run out of the ordinary buildings around him.
Some people clearly looked like ordinary residents in the outpost, but the bright guns that were visible under their clothes showed that they were plainclothes guards.
Some people were cleaning the streets, and when they swiped the broom, they pulled out a rifle.
What’s going on?
He looked at a cleaner who usually bragged with him, now he turned into a gun-wielding guard.
Leng Arong’s eyes couldn’t help but focus forward and saw the long queue and the flow of people coming under the security wall.
There were
more than eighty chariots of various types, driving in through the gap under the security wall like a long queue.
A dense crowd of soldiers surrounded the chariot and followed them in. At a glance, there were no less than a thousand people.
Boom, boom.
The soldiers’ steps were extremely neat, and each step was full of strength and determination. When they fell, they seemed to cause the ground to vibrate.
The chilling atmosphere spread, immediately causing the still panicked outpost to become completely silent.
In the dull sunlight of a rainy day, their shadows did not appear tall.
But that body that has gone through a long journey, crossed mountains and rivers, experienced countless hardships and dangers, and that face that has been weathered and carved with traces of coldness is full of determination and victory.
“The expeditionary force is back?”
An old resident reacted and suddenly cried out in surprise.
Before I knew it, almost two months had passed.
It was still early March when the expeditionary force set out, the first snow had not fallen in the New Wasteland, and there were only more than 10,000 people in the entire Tianyuan territory.
When I returned, it was already the middle of winter, the end of April.
Tianyuan’s territory expanded several times, and the number of people reached nearly 50,000.
There are too many newcomers who only know from the conversations of old residents that the territory has sent an expeditionary force to perform tasks, but they have no idea about the configuration of the expeditionary force and the situation of this war.
Now, the situation is clear.
This expeditionary force, which has been away from the territory for a long time, is finally back!
