My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1374

[1364. Chapter 1345: Like a fish in water, Qinggang City will be named “Su”!]

Qinggang Shelter.

Inside the city hall where the ground has been repaired.

When the plan to rebuild the city was gathered here through various channels, Deputy Manager Tang En was in an unprecedentedly bad mood.

“Sorry, can you repeat it again? Are you saying that they are all willing to cooperate with the Tianyuan Alliance to rebuild the entire city?” Commander Edmund was still asking, somewhat unbelieving this explosive news.

Damn, have these people forgotten the materials needed to rebuild the city?

Before, it seemed like they wanted to take a little from the stingy people in the southern suburbs, but now they are willing to cooperate with the alliance to rebuild the city?

“Yes, Lord Edmund, I was listening next to me when the meeting started. If the situation is not as I expected, the managers in the eastern suburbs will agree within three days at the latest!” The man disguised as a waiter at the meeting reported truthfully.

When he heard that the managers of the eastern suburbs made a decision on the spot, he planned to go to the alliance for in-depth consultation later.

Edmund frowned and felt something was wrong.

The staff members next to him couldn’t help but curse.

“Let them go. Others don’t know the situation in the city, but don’t we know it?”

“Yes, now the city’s pipelines are all on the verge of aging and collapse. These people don’t think that rebuilding the city only requires taking out some materials and relying on manpower to complete it?”

“It took us four years to build the underground pipelines in the industrial zone. How long will it take them? Will it take ten or even twenty years to renovate the city?”

“That’s ridiculous. Does the Tianyuan Alliance think that they can ignore everything just because they won a war?”

“We don’t have to destroy this plan at all. Let them rebuild. Anyway, there is no loss to us!”

“These people didn’t agree to Mr. Tang En’s plan at first, but now they agree to Su Mo’s plan. I think they look down on it.”

“Uh, uh, why are you covering my mouth?”

Seeing Tang En’s murderous eyes, the staff next to him quickly held down the person who was talking.

Damn, although the Qinggang Shelter has recently learned the various systems of the Tianyuan Alliance and the internal environment has been opened up a lot, can you say such things?

If you don’t want to live, don’t drag everyone to die with you!

Fortunately, Tang En’s personality has really changed recently. He is always imitating the Tianyuan leader intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if he heard someone mocking him, he did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he said slowly with a dark face: “Rebuilding the city is not something that can be completed overnight. What we need to be vigilant about is not the plan itself, but the real purpose behind it.”

“Thomas, you just said that the alliance is about to bring a large number of laborers from outside?”

“Yes, Lord Archon.” Thomas thought for a while and added: “If there are not enough laborers, even if they build factories in the city, there will not be enough manpower to produce.” The

moles in the shelter can be completely counted as laborers.

As we all know, the higher the level of education, the more they desire the so-called “freedom”.

The managers of the major shelters do not need a group of residents who will overthrow them at any time.

Most people have received education from birth to adulthood that can barely recognize common characters.

Sending such people to the factory, just teaching them to use various equipment for production will probably take at least a year and a half.

And that’s without calculating the training cost!

“Have they found a good market for the goods produced by the laborers?” Tang En asked again.

“Yes, that’s what Aldridge said. He said that the goods produced in the city will not make a penny for themselves, and all will be sold outside to others for profit.”

“This is the key we overlooked.”

Tang En stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked down at the group of staff standing below.

“A bunch of idiots, stop casting your eyes on the city!”

“The Tianyuan Alliance has gone out. They found a gathering place and a vast market.

Damn, they don’t want to rebuild the city at all. Their real purpose is to bring everyone together to expand the scale of production and make money outside.”

After Tang En said this, the faces of the group of staff changed. They all lowered their heads and stared at the ground, not knowing how to start.

The thorny problem went around and seemed to have returned to the starting point.

Tang En’s words and deeds, didn’t he just want the Qinggang Shelter to go out quickly and open up new markets?

But the key to the problem is that they have tried so many times and found nothing at all.

The surrounding hundreds of kilometers have been swept clean by the Tianyuan Alliance. If you want to find new gathering places and markets, you have to go thousands of kilometers away.

And in this unknown land, daring to go so far is not courting death?

After the loss of several expedition teams, Tang En has temporarily given up the idea.

Now that he said so, he might have to restart the expedition plan.

“Why are you all so silent? Are you dumb? Weren’t you all quite talkative just now?”

Tang En turned his head and glanced at his staff one after another.

No one dared to look at him, except Edmund who was thinking beside him.

“Edmund, we must restart the expedition team. We can’t just sit there and wait for death.” Tang En’s expression was serious, with a bit of Hades’ majesty.

But the more he said this, the more he exposed that the authority in his hands was restricted and even such things had to be discussed.

As expected, Edmund ignored Tang En’s suggestion and shook his head in opposition:

“You have seen the strangeness of this land. If we hadn’t been paying attention to the information of the Tianyuan Alliance, we wouldn’t have been able to prevent the big drop in temperature that just ended.

Facts have proved that they definitely have some secrets that we can’t get, and before we figure out these secrets, sending as many people as possible is a meaningless attempt in my opinion.”

The successive disasters, except for the bloody sky the night before, had almost no signs for the Blue Star people.

This time, if the Tianyuan Alliance hadn’t prepared in advance and the cooling process was as steady as an old dog,

Tang En would have been unable to resist and ordered everyone to retreat to the underground shelter.

With such a huge information gap, it would be a joke to want to compete with others in the market.

“So what do you think we should do now? Are we just going to watch them unite all the city managers, rebuild the city and factories step by step, and export goods to earn massive resources?”

Tang En’s questioning immediately made Edmund feel uncomfortable.

But this is also a fact. Qinggang Shelter must take action no matter what.

Otherwise, when the other party really perfects this trade system, the development speed will reach an unimaginable terrifying level.

“Ahem, I think we can reach a certain level of cooperation with Tianyuan.”

Edmund paused: “Didn’t they also send us an invitation? It’s just that we didn’t go.”

“Cooperation?” Tang En seemed to have heard a cold joke and almost laughed out of anger.

Let’s not talk about whether it can succeed or not, what can they earn from it.

According to the current domineering style of the Tianyuan Alliance, it will never allow partners of the same status.

If Qinggang Shelter intends to join this system, it must be weaker.

At that time, won’t this city be named “Su”?

Although there are undercurrents in Qinggang City, and the various forces are mixed together.

But the Tianyuan territory seems to have become a small world independent of the outside world. The interior is full of joy and lights and decorations are hung as if it is the New Year.

The temporary dock for the berthing of warships has been completely renovated. Not only are the docking ports painted with festive red and blue paint, but even the pedestrian walkways are hung with several neatly arranged red lanterns. The surface of each lantern is embroidered with the words “Welcome the heroes back” in gold thread, shining brightly in the sun and looking particularly dazzling.

Not far away, a group of musicians are rehearsing intensively.

They have a wide variety of musical instruments in their hands, including war drums, bamboo flutes, and of course the indispensable sound of horns.

These music will resound throughout the territory on the day when the expedition team returns, creating the warmest atmosphere for the triumph.

In the central officialdom of Hope Town, a temporary archway with the theme of “Celebrating the Great Victory of the Battle of Blackstone City” is also particularly eye-catching.

The archway is decorated with bright red silk cloth, and golden tassels flutter in the wind. Groups of children are running around happily, and laughter and cheers are heard one after another, adding a bit of festive joy to this special day.

In addition to these carefully prepared welcoming ceremonies, various celebrations were spontaneously organized in the territory.

Major restaurants have launched special theme catering, which not only has rich and diverse dishes, but also incorporates elements of victory in war into every dish.

For example, Wu You’s Firepower Restaurant directly launched the so-called “Hero Triumphal Banquet”.

The dishes are named after military themes, such as “Battlefield Beacon Chicken” and “Warrior Armored Fish”. Although the method is still the same and only the name has been changed, it still allows customers to feel the joyful atmosphere of victory in war while tasting the food.

For example, the Hope Tavern, which opened first, has become a hot spot for this celebration.

In order to welcome the return of the heroes, the tavern has been completely renovated. It is not only full of flags and ribbons symbolizing victory, but also has a wide range of special wines and drinks, each of which incorporates elements of victory in war.

For example, the specially made “Hero Return” cocktail uses fine spirits as the base wine, and then adds a variety of fresh juices and special syrups. It has a mellow taste without losing its freshness. Once it was launched, it was booked for three days later in just half an afternoon!

In addition, the Hope Tavern specially invited the best singers and actors in the territory.

Every day at 7 pm, there will be a play of “Destroying the Dwarves”. Every time when the scene of Su Mo, the administrator, descending from the sky and killing people everywhere is played, the ground of the entire Hope Town seems to be shaking.

Of course, the official agencies of the territory are not idle either. For example, the Guard Department has launched a military knowledge competition.

The content of the competition covers military theory, weapons and equipment, strategy and tactics, etc., which has attracted many residents to actively participate. It not only increases the understanding of ordinary people about war, but also reduces the fear brought by war from the side.

In addition, the prizes finally distributed are all souvenirs of victory in the war.

After introducing the benefits of war from the side, even the number of recruits who signed up for the army has skyrocketed by 30%!

At about 4 pm.

After sailing for nearly 20 hours, the fleet began to enter the Tianyuan waters.

Compared with the outbound journey, after getting familiar with the terrain and points of this water area, the speed of the return journey has increased again.

And the most important thing is that there is a significant difference in comfort on the river and on the sea.

Since the flow of rivers is relatively gentle, even if the speed of the ship is increased, the turbulence will be much less than that of the sea, and it will be less disturbed by the outside world. Neither stability nor safety is at the same level.

This also led to most people sleeping on the boat, and they were shocked to find out after getting up and having breakfast.

How come we are almost home? !

“Our waters look friendly. It would be even better if we could build a military base here in the future.”

Pointing to the large plains on both sides of the river, Su Mo imagined happily.

In the future ruins, due to the limitation of the overall area of the new continent, there are actually very few terrains available for the development of major gathering places, especially the sought-after plains, which are almost a must-fight place for military strategists.

However, with the expansion of the area of the new continent in the real wasteland several times, the original plain area has directly expanded several times, and there is no need to worry about the division.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of the central plate is the flat terrain, which is basically dominated by plains and hills.

This has unmatched advantages in the development of industry and gathering place clusters in other plates.

“In addition, we also need to control this river and not let any ship pass through casually.”

“The lord is right.” Captain Cui Lu nodded seriously: “Unless we open up a tributary, the incoming fleet will have to pass through our territory. If someone has bad intentions, it will be troublesome.”

This time, the Tianyuan territory prepared a lot for the Black Stone City Battle.

Like two fleets. Although it didn’t help much, it is undeniable that there are guerrilla forces that can break into the enemy’s rear at any time, and the combat troops in the front are also more unscrupulous.

“This is easy to do. When the time comes, we can launch an enemy identification chip. As long as the radar detects that a ship without a radio frequency chip enters the water, the enemy can be found out in the first time.”

“The difficult part is actually underwater. Those strange aliens wanting to enter from the bottom of the water are troublesome.” Su Deben added on the side.

But at this moment, a burst of warm cheers suddenly broke out from the first few ships in front of the fleet.

The sound surged like a tide, instantly breaking the tranquility of the water.

Many mobilized soldiers ran out of the cabin and lay on the deck railings looking forward.

In their view, the decorated temporary pier was so conspicuous that it was particularly eye-catching even from several kilometers away!
