My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1370

[1360. Chapter 1341 Follow-up arrangements, the first expedition ends!]

“Is what he said true?”

Su Mo looked at Liu Zhi, who hesitated, and quickly nodded to confirm some details that Ji Wuming did not mention.

“Of course, I was not the first to join the Red Flower Gang. I joined after they came to the shore, but I also know the impact of the shipwreck. Some people did run away with the supplies.

At that time, it was indeed Lord Ji who came forward to recruit a group of scattered people to join, and got some supplies from them, and barely set up the initial framework of our Red Flower Gang.”

Since it has been said so far, Liu Zhi simply struck while the iron was hot and explained some important information.

For example, Ji Sheng did not rely entirely on the so-called eloquence to recruit these people. Now the group of people who are now domineering over ordinary survivors in the territory, such as Lin Deying, the former manager of the No. 2 gathering place, and his relatives, are the price of the exchange of supplies!

For example, after checking the warehouse accounts these days, most of the supplies that Ji Sheng used to raise private soldiers came from the large warehouse of the territory. Even if there was no such thing, it would be discovered in a short time.

However, Su Mo and Lie Hu were not surprised by these.

Every ordinary person who made a fortune from nothing has a dark history that cannot be seen in public.

As for Su Mo himself, he could not guarantee that he had never been selfish in the process, and now he asked others to be morally double-standard.

“Just considering the things you have done, it is not too much to die ten times. But the situation in the wasteland is indeed a bit special now. I will give you a chance to make meritorious service for your crime. It depends on whether you can grasp it.” After

thinking for a while, Su Mo decided to change his previous idea. First,

after Ji Sheng took off the human skin mask, he looked very different from before. It is entirely possible to announce to the outside world that he had been shot dead to set an example.

Second, this guy is indeed a talent. If he is put under Lie Hu to be trained, he may be able to stand on his own.

“As for the details, we will talk about it later.”

After speaking, Su Mo waved his hand to indicate that Ji Sheng, who was sweating profusely, could leave first.

For a small person, he has neither left a name in the future ruins nor really demonstrated his indispensable abilities.

Before that, there is no need to pay attention to him for the time being.

On the contrary, Su Mo felt that Liu Zhi had some abilities, at least he was better than Ji Sheng in many aspects.

If the Red Flower Gang did not need a leader, he would have wanted to lure Liu Zhi to Tianyuan and assign him a place to be the village chief.

“What are you going to do after we leave?” Su Mo asked with interest after Ji Sheng left.

The situation that the Red Flower Gang is facing now is difficult and simple.

If the dwarves do not intend to vent their anger, there will still be a buffer zone of hundreds of kilometers between the two sides.

But if the dwarves intend to blame the Red Flower Gang for the sneak attack on Tianyuan, then the more than 200,000 survivors will be miserable, and they may have to leave their homes again.

“I plan to continue to migrate westward with some people who are willing to go with me.”

Liu Zhi pondered for a while and expressed his thoughts.

“At the beginning, Ji Wu. Ji Sheng blindly expanded the size of the territory, not only recruiting a lot of lazy survivors, but also a group of cancers like Lin Deying. These people are not a big threat at the moment, but they will definitely be more difficult to manage in the future.”

“Besides, there is no natural barrier between this position and the dwarves. Once they want to attack, we have no way to resist.”

“A lot has been built here. If you are willing to leave, they may not be willing to follow you!” Su Mo sat down with a smile and drank a sip of tea.

Knowing how to give up is a profound knowledge.

He admired Liu Zhi more and more. This man actually had the demeanor of a hero.

He was able to be merciless and not drag his feet. It was a bit of a waste to leave them in the Red Flower Gang.

“It’s just that I’m reluctant for the time being, but if they knew that the dwarves would attack at any time, they would urge us to leave now.” Liu Zhi forced a smile.

How could those people be reluctant to leave?

It would only take some effort to rebuild the dilapidated mud houses of the Red Flower Gang.

But if they stayed, they would have to face the revenge of the dwarves at any time, and they would not be able to sleep well.

Besides, leaving now would only waste some of the food that had been cultivated before.

But Liu Zhi believed that as long as he proposed this, Tianyuan would definitely not be stingy in supporting a batch of people.

While the weather is getting warmer, they can cultivate another batch and barely make ends meet in the autumn harvest.

“Don’t forget to pay me back for the reward you owed me before!” Liehu added with a smile, “But don’t give those lazy people to me, otherwise I will be angry.”

“Of course not.” After hearing this, Liu Zhi hurriedly shook his head and answered with a serious face.

He himself looked down on the group of survivors in the No. 4 gathering place, so how could he let these people go to Tianyuan.

If they were to go, they would also select a group of capable people to go there, so that they might be able to take root in Tianyuan, and in the future they might be able to give back to the Red Flower Gang.

“Lord Su, there are a total of 45,000 people now. Can I select a group of potential people to go to Tianyuan first, and send the rest in batches?”

“Are you planning to use going to my territory as an incentive to attract those people to follow you?” Su Mo saw through Liu Zhi’s thoughts at a glance.

Knowing the threat brought by the dwarves, ordinary people are willing to leave in order to survive.

But

where to go and who will be the lord next is another matter. However, if Liu Zhi makes his identity clear and can give these people a chance to go to Tianyuan, then other competitors will have no advantage at all.

After all, for ordinary people, being able to live in Tianyuan is simply a dream.

Liu Zhi can not only attract a group of sponsors needed for survival, but also give them a chance to realize their dreams. It is not a loss to follow him.

“Yeah.” Liu Zhi touched his nose, and he didn’t feel embarrassed about being exposed.

“Then I agree, I’ll give you a chance. But there is one thing you have to think clearly. You took my things and owed me money. Even if you are the lord in the future, you are not the only one who has the final say in some matters of the Red Flower Gang.”

“Lord Su, I understand all this. I am willing to become a vassal of Tianyuan with the Red Flower Gang territory, and I think this is a win-win decision. If others know about it, I’m afraid they will envy me to death!”

“You really deserve to be the lord!” Su Mo laughed, his eyebrows full of domineering.

At this time, he had completely lost the divinity that had been passed down by word of mouth by the survivors. He

was no longer high and mighty, nor did he look down upon the common people. He had returned to being an ordinary, normal human being.

But it was precisely this that made Liu Zhi feel more at ease, and the last bit of anxiety disappeared. Anyway, just think of

it as working in the company.

He is the leader of the project team, and Su Mo is the chairman of the company.

Thinking this way, there is nothing to be afraid of.

“I will help you show up on the platform in the afternoon, and arrange for the evacuation of personnel as soon as possible.”

“I will return with the army tomorrow, and then I will leave you a few cargo ships to carry people across the river, and support a batch of materials for reconstruction. Don’t let me down.”

“Don’t worry, I will arrange it properly.” Liu Zhi nodded.

“Then it’s okay, you can go back first.”

After sending Liu Zhi away, Su Mo chatted with Liehu for a while. Liehu asked, “Are we not going to ambush the dwarves? If they rush to pursue, this is a good opportunity.”

Liehu was far inferior to Su Deben in terms of grand strategy, but he was not inferior in terms of understanding people’s hearts.

In addition, his contribution in this battle was not great.

With the original intention of making some more achievements, he mentioned it.

After thinking about it, Su Mo nodded and said,

“It’s not impossible. Then I will give you 2,000 people, but don’t be reckless at that time. If there is no good opportunity, even if you give up, don’t sacrifice numbers. It’s too bad for us to exchange for war losses.”

Liehu didn’t expect Su Mo to agree to such a risky behavior, but he didn’t expect Su Mo to suddenly agree at this time, which made him stunned.

But after reacting, Liehu smiled again.

This is obviously a manifestation of trust.

“I have to say, if the previous manager of Pingtan Shelter was as wise as you, no, half as wise as you, then I should still be the army commander of the shelter now.” Liehu’s face was filled with a happy smile.

Even before this, he never thought that joining Tianyuan was a stupid decision.

But now, he was still very happy.

Not only did he solve his physical problems, but he also had a vast world to show his talents.

Isn’t this much better than being trapped in a dark and damp underground shelter and being a mole who can’t see the light?

“Hey, is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Su Mo smiled, and the scene he saw when he upgraded before flashed through his mind.

People’s thoughts always change with the things happening around them.

If it weren’t for the time travel to Qinggang City, if it weren’t for meeting him, the ending of Liehu wouldn’t have changed much.

Wisdom is far from suppressing such a ferocious tiger and his ambition.

He must let him know that the person who suppresses him is ten times more fierce, so that the tiger can become a docile kitten.

“That should be a bad thing, right?! After all, when I was young, I would not accept a person who couldn’t beat me in a single fight?” Liehu put away his smile after thinking for a moment. He understood the meaning behind Su Mo’s words.

But he was also willing to accept this blow and admit that he had indeed changed greatly from before.

“If that’s the case, then I hope I can beat you every moment in the future.” Su Mo looked up and took a deep look at the yellow-skinned Liehu.

His eyes were calm, without any trace of murderous intent.

But for some reason, Liehu felt a chill in his heart, as if his life was in the hands of the other party.

After Liehu left, Su Mo returned to the office that was reserved for him on each command ship.

The data collected in the past two days had been placed on the table, and it was bound into two thick stacks.

Although Su Mo had a rough idea of the data in his mind, he couldn’t help but sit down and look through it in detail.

Including the mobilized soldiers, a total of 18,719 people were dispatched for this expedition.

During the ten-day expedition, a total of 4,752 people were slightly injured, 1,908 people were seriously injured, and 417 people died.

The combined calculation is about 37% of the casualties!

But it’s not a big problem. At present, Tianyuan Territory has established a complete medical system. Except for a very small number of people, the rest of the people can basically recover completely after receiving treatment.

Only the four hundred people sacrificed.

Su Mo rubbed his temples with a headache, and a wave of inexplicable emotions rose in his heart for a while.

Some irritation, some helplessness.

Even if he kept convincing himself in his heart that as long as he went to the battlefield, there would be casualties.

And only 2% of the sacrifice rate is definitely excellent for a team that has never been on the battlefield.

But this is still the most serious loss since the establishment of Tianyuan Territory.

Turning the page, Su Mo simply stopped looking at the data about his side and jumped to the statistics of the dwarves. In

the battle of Black Stone City, the expeditionary force broke through a total of nine small and medium-sized gathering places and a large city.

As many as 3,200 dwarf craftsmen were captured.

In addition, even if there was no deliberate massacre of prisoners, the total number of dwarf casualties exceeded five digits.

According to rough statistics, at least 37,000 dwarves were killed in this battle.

In addition, the dwarves also lost an astronomical amount of supplies. The burned warehouses in Blackstone City alone stored enough food to supply 100,000 dwarves for half a year, and now they have all been burned to black ash.

The things that the expeditionary army could not take away from the subsequent tribes were also burned to ash, which was not cheap for the dwarves.

And if the dwarves still plan to rebuild Blackstone City, they will inevitably have to invest a large amount of supplies.

In terms of the investment of both parties, it was obviously the Tianyuan territory that launched the expedition, but in the end it was the dwarves who suffered greater losses.

Of course, Tianyuan is actually losing money too.

Although the precious minerals looted can make up for part of the war consumption, they are not worth mentioning compared to the materials spent.

This is mainly because there are too many people dispatched. More than 18,000 people, even the most basic rewards are nearly 10 million copper coins, plus the rewards issued from time to time during the war, the total support is at least 20 to 30 million copper coins.

So it is really difficult to make a fortune by relying on war. At this stage, it is purely an exchange of unequal resources for war results.

“Fortunately, after this battle, at least four markets with a population of 100,000 people have been steadily opened up.”

“With the trade deficit, it shouldn’t take long to earn back the money.”

Su Mo went through the whole process in his mind and felt relieved.

No matter how much the war costs, the purpose of winning it is still to plunder the labor force!

In the current situation, if the four territories want to develop, they must purchase a large amount of basic materials.

Whether it is building materials, daily necessities, or means of production, they are all in urgent need.

This has led to the production scale that was not dared to expand before, but can now be developed recklessly, and the cost can be quickly reduced, so that in Tianyuan, what can be bought with only half a day’s salary of a worker may need to be sold for three or even five days’ salary of a worker in other territories.

The difference between the two is naked profit, which is enough for any force to make a fortune quickly.

In addition, after the initial establishment of the trade system, the goods can be sold to more places.

Chickens lay eggs, and eggs lay chickens.

If there were no disasters and alien influences, the glory of Tianyuan in the future ruins would be reappeared in the near future.
