My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1377

[1367. Chapter 1348 Mining Island Alliance, a more real and dark wasteland!]

Although the material warehouse of Mengyue Territory was on the verge of collapse and could not afford much sense of ceremony.

But the cheers for free never stopped, one after another, deafening.

However, after entering the gathering place, the dilapidated and desolate here still exceeded everyone’s imagination.

Originally thought that the dilapidated outside was the limit, but unexpectedly the situation inside the gathering place was even worse.

With the complete loss of modern technology, the lives of the survivors seemed to be isolated from the world and returned to the most primitive way of human beings.

The buildings here…

Forget it, it’s better to say that they are shelters made up of various materials and resources that can be found in nature than buildings.

Most of the walls are built with a mixture of yellow mud, stones and branches, and the roofs are covered with dry leaves and grass.

Whenever it rains, it is normal for the house to leak. Occasionally, there will be heavy rains and even roof collapses, causing the survivors to go to the official shelters in groups to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Walking into the territory, ragged residents can be seen everywhere.

Due to the extreme shortage of supplies, the clothes brought from Earth have completely lost their functionality.

Many people’s clothes are so tattered that they can hardly cover their bodies. Some people are even almost naked. This is not because they are unruly, but because in such a living environment, maintaining basic decency has become a luxury.

Even using discarded cloth to sew and mend is a big burden for ordinary people.

Of course, the food problem is also particularly serious.

Although since Xi Ruyue announced that Tianyuan’s support is about to arrive, the defense team has become extremely tough. Not only have they recovered all the supplies that were looted before, but they have also found some hidden supplies and distributed them according to the number of people every day, but the shortage still means that those who work can eat two meals, and those who don’t work can only have one meal!

And this meal is just thin porridge and some hard-to-swallow wild vegetables.

After only half a month, the survivors who can only eat one meal are basically skinny and have almost no strength to walk. The half-grown children are also haggard due to lack of nutrition.

In addition, the lack of medical resources has also brought great trouble to the survivors.

Here, being sick often means death.

Because there are not enough medicines and medical equipment, many common diseases cannot be treated in time. Survivors can only rely on some wasteland herbs and folk remedies published on world chat to relieve symptoms, but the effect is often very limited.

“We need medicines very much. No, it should be said that most human settlements need medicines very much. In a sense, medicines are even more important than food!” Xi Ruyue smiled bitterly while introducing the truth. “

In fact, the cold wind caused by the temperature drop this time caused serious infectious diseases in our Mengyue. I personally led people to isolate the initial infected people, but the effect did not seem to be very good.”

“What are you waiting for? It just so happens that we have brought a lot of medicines. Let’s send them out first.”

Upon hearing that there was an infectious disease, Captain Yao Dingshan raised his eyebrows and quickly instructed the second mate.

Ordinary antiviral drugs are indeed extremely precious things for small settlements.

But in Tianyuan Territory, it has long been the point where a large number of them can be chemically synthesized at will.

So long as the residents hold formal identity documents, the entire treatment of ordinary diseases can be fully paid by the territory.

Moreover, in the rescue plan, the possibility of infectious diseases was considered at the earliest stage.

Therefore, the medicines brought on board filled half of the cargo hold, so it was no problem to treat tens of thousands of people.

“Captain, you guys go ahead and do your work. Let’s go take a look around?” After walking with the large team towards Mengyue County for a while, Mala Tiechui stepped forward and said.

Their purpose was not to rescue, and it was meaningless to stay here and listen to the cheers of the survivors.

“That’s fine. I’ll send five guards to follow you. Don’t think this is redundant. The people here are basically on the verge of collapse. It’s possible that someone will do something stupid. It’s better to be careful.”

Yao Dingshan’s worries were not groundless.

The impact of the three cold springs has only just begun. The closer it gets to the autumn harvest, the more chaotic it will be.

If a few people only move within the Mengyue territory, their safety can still be guaranteed.

But if they set foot outside or encounter survivors from other places, no one dares to say what will happen.

“Then I’ll trouble you, Captain.”

Mala Tiechui nodded, and the few people paused for a moment and fell behind the large team.

For a moment, hundreds of eyes focused on them.

However, this situation did not last long, because the team was still moving forward, and the eyes that were originally focused on them soon retreated like a tide.

“The races here are quite diverse, with all kinds of skin colors.”

“The strong ones are all Nile people and white people. The Chinese people look malnourished. It’s all because we are too honest!”

After leaving the crowd, the group walked and looked around, and soon discovered some phenomena that could not be seen from the center.

At the same time, after giving a few pieces of bread as a reward, they also learned a lot about the Mengyue Territory and its surroundings from several Chinese people.

At present, more than 70% of the cultivated land in Mengyue Territory was opened up by hardworking Chinese people, especially the one near the river. Basically, the Chinese people came here with tools and walked forty miles every day, and cultivated it by hand. Of the

remaining 30%, 10% was opened up by survivors hired by the territory officials, and only 20% was cultivated by Nile people and white people.

“This is fucking ridiculous. We Chinese people put food into the ground as seeds, but these guys ate it all. No wonder there is such a big difference in physique now.”

The doomsday madman cursed, dissatisfied with the current situation.

But then he thought that the world is always fair. The first batch of survivors taken away by the rescue will be mainly Chinese. No matter how strong the remaining Nile and white people are, they will probably be starving in a month.

“As for the minerals you inquired about,” the Chinese man holding the bread thought for a while and said tentatively, “There are indeed no minerals in Mengyue Territory. There is only a small iron ore with a thin reserve, and it is very difficult to mine. But I have heard from survivors in the past that there is a group of fragmented islands a few hundred kilometers north, and a territory called the Mining Island Alliance is stationed there. They seem to have found many mines that are convenient for mining on the island, and they are also recruiting miners from outside!”

“Mining Island Alliance, and recruiting miners from outside?”

Spicy Iron Hammer’s eyes lit up and caught the key point.

The terrain of the Central Holy Land is mainly composed of vast plains and low hills, forming a relatively gentle but undulating geographical landscape, and the overall terrain is connected.

Even if the game has descended on the Dragon Fairy River, it only meanders in the central part of this land, and has not completely divided the land independent of other places.

But the situation in the southern fire area is completely different.

The emergence of rivers has caused the plates to split, and the terrain here is varied, as rich as the tropical regions on the earth, with not only island terrains, but even volcanoes.

It is not a big news that a territory can control a group of islands.

As we all know, the land on the island is far less fertile than the plains, and the crop yield will be significantly reduced due to soil erosion.

In addition, the development of buildings will be severely restricted by the terrain. Once a strong enemy invades, it is basically equivalent to being caught in a jar, and there is nowhere to run.

This is also the fundamental reason why many survivors basically go around the islands when they encounter them.

However, if there are large quantities of ore on these islands, the value is hard to say.

Spicy Hammer discussed with the Doomsday Madman and found a few people to inquire about the situation of the Mining Island Alliance.

Unfortunately, basically everyone knows that there is such a thing, but there is no way to talk about specific information.

After all, miners are not a good job.

Even in modern times, you can occasionally see large-scale mine collapse and death news on the news.

In the wasteland, the mortality rate is even more terrifying, and it is purely exchanging life for money.

Unless you have already made up your mind to die or are forced into a desperate situation, no one is willing to be a miner.

“Why don’t we go over and take a look? If we borrow a boat, it will take a day.” Spicy Hammer couldn’t help but suggest. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted.

According to the information collected, if there are many mines on these islands, the reserves are simply too scary.

Perhaps one transaction can get enough for the territory for several months.

Moreover, in the current unequal trading model, Spicy Hammer thinks it is naked plunder!

Maybe a cold medicine can be exchanged for a lot of ore.

It is also possible that some ordinary daily necessities can be exchanged for minerals worth a hundred times the former.

And transport some materials that are already flooded in Tianyuan Territory but are still in short supply in the outside world.

This is a win-win situation.

“Okay, maybe they also need weapons. The island is the terrain that is most afraid of being surrounded by the enemy.” The Doomsday Madman agreed and felt that the Mining Island Alliance has a market.

Moreover, in the next week, the fleet will anchor in the waters of Mengyue Territory to select the first batch of survivors to bring back to the territory.

It is only a few hundred kilometers to the Mineral Island Alliance, and even if you go there by land, the time is enough.

“Then let’s go tomorrow morning. It’s better to go early than late.”

The two of them discussed and quickly finalized the plan. They decided to have a good rest for a night to recharge their energy. They

will set off tomorrow morning and find the Mineral Island Alliance before night.

The next morning.

After explaining the situation of the Mineral Island Alliance and the purpose of the two, Yao Dingshan did not refuse the risky exploration behavior because of the risk.

In fact, before this trip, the territory emphasized that in addition to the rescue mission, exploring the situation in the southern fire area as much as possible is also one of the mission goals.

It’s a pity that according to yesterday’s understanding, the current situation in Mengyue Territory is indeed a bit complicated, and the fleet can’t spare the time to go around.

Now that there are two people leading the team to explore, it can be regarded as a side mission.

“It’s okay, but one frigate is still too risky. In this way, I will add another one for you to take care of it, and it will follow you.” As one of the capable generals of Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins, Yao Dingshan is notoriously cautious.

This is also the main reason why he was arranged as the captain on this trip.

“As for manpower, it is better to have fewer people rather than more. More people will easily cause trouble. You only take ten people, but I will arrange another twenty people on another ship.”

“Thank you Captain Yao for your care. We will be careful.” Spicy Hammer nodded immediately.

“Well, remember to contact us as soon as possible if there is anything. When we are out, if anyone is dissatisfied and wants to cause trouble, we don’t have to be timid. We can just kill him!”

In terms of identity, Spicy Hammer and the Madman of the End of the World are not ordinary.

One is the director of a steel plant, and the other is the director of a weapons plant. Both are considered to be the upstream of military industry and the core industry of the territory.

If anything happens to the two, it directly means that the other party is provoking the Tianyuan territory.

Shaking the communicator on his waist, Yao Dingshan smiled and did not leave until he sent the two people to the frigate.

Soon, the two frigates broke away from the main force and headed north.

It only took half an hour to see no trace of the fleet behind.

“Huh, it’s finally out.” The Madman of the End of the World breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the light of the scorching sun can only drive away half of the darkness in a day.

The “light” brought by Tianyuan Territory naturally cannot drive away all the darkness in Mengyue Territory.

It can be said that the atmosphere in Mengyue Territory yesterday when welcoming the arrival of the fleet was so warm and crazy.

Then how depressing and uncomfortable the atmosphere inside is now.

After the news that only a part of them could be selected to be taken away was released, many survivors were on the verge of collapse, especially those who had relied on their beliefs before. If they were told now that they had to wait until the second or third batch to get on the ship, they would probably go crazy on the spot, or transfer their hatred to those who were lucky enough to be selected.

The Nile people, who were almost impossible to be taken away for the first time, were even more restless and clamored for a riot last night.

Although they were quickly dealt with by Xi Ruyue and the defense team, there were still sporadic survivors affected by the riot, and the relief supplies that had just been received yesterday were snatched away in the chaos.

In this regard, Xi Ruyue, who was forcibly elected as the lord and actually had little experience, did not come up with a suitable solution and could only repeatedly use force to suppress.

Although Yao Dingshan was experienced, he did not express any opinions, and did not even change the plan made yesterday.

However, both of them knew that this was not the captain’s intention to remain indifferent to the commotion last night.

Now was like the last calm before the storm. Yao Dingshan was actually waiting for the opportunity to turn the situation around in one fell swoop.

Before that, the atmosphere would only become more and more depressing and tense.

Until it broke that critical point!
