My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1379

[1369. Chapter 1350 Visit, the average level of the wasteland gathering place!]

“Where is your lord from? It’s strange. We have never seen any news about the Mining Island Alliance on the world channel.”

“Yes, anyone who joins our territory cannot use the game panel, so it is normal that you can’t see the news.”

“You can’t even use the game panel?” The doomsday madman was slightly stunned.

“What about the route? You won’t even let us choose the route, right?”

“That’s not the case. Our rules are used to protect residents, not to restrict development.”

Hu Xiaolin explained patiently, worried that the two would think that the Mining Island Alliance was too oppressive, so they were not allowed to use the various chat functions in the game panel.

In fact, the daily life of the hardworking miners on the mining island is not as terrible as the outside world rumored.

Because the ore is almost all in the open-air form, there is almost no danger before the open-air mine is dug out.

The only point worth mentioning may be that it is a bit tiring, and you need to work at least fifteen hours a day.

But this is almost no different from the intensity of work in other places in the wasteland.

As long as the daily food supply can be guaranteed, it is definitely a job that ordinary survivors envy.

“The reason why they are not allowed to use it is that ordinary people are not careful when they speak. Some people dare to say anything just to brag. They want to compare our territory with those of super powers, or even with Su Shen’s territory. Let these big mouths go to the world channel. Who will deal with the trouble?” The

situation that Hu Xiaolin said is common in the world channel chat.

When trouble arises, those braggarts pat their butts and leave, leaving a mess behind.

Especially since the Mining Island Alliance owns such a large area of high-value minerals, it is easier to be coveted by others.

But then again.

“There should be territories that trade with you, but I don’t think these people have said it?” Spicy Hammer was a little curious, and he didn’t hide his doubts.

“That’s because no one wants to share good things with others!”

At this moment, a loud and solid answer came from a distance.

Squinting, a tall Tibetan man over 1.8 meters tall walked over not far away.

The big man was wearing a faded denim jacket, a black T-shirt that had been washed and faded, and a pair of durable khaki overalls, with the trouser legs tucked into a pair of somewhat old military boots. There was

a touch of determination and vicissitudes on his face, and his deep eyes revealed calmness and courage.

The eyes of the apocalypse madman focused on the old-fashioned climbing rope hanging on the other’s waist. This thing looked both practical and full of the charm of wild power, so that the mental outlook of the big man was also very different from that of ordinary survivors.

“I am Hu Shulin, currently the deputy captain of the second security team of the alliance.” The big man stepped forward and glanced at the huge frigate moored at the dock without leaving any trace. His expression was more cautious and respectful:

“On behalf of the lord, I would like to express my deepest welcome to the friends who have come from afar. Please accept our warmest greetings. Thank you for your hard work on the road!”

“You’re welcome, Captain Hu.”

The two nodded slightly. From each other’s mental outlook, they could roughly confirm that this mining island alliance was really okay.

Ordinary survivors’ gathering places cannot cultivate such talents at all.

Or such talents are unwilling to stay in ordinary gathering places for the most basic life.

“If it is convenient, we will invite you inside, or if you are worried, we can also board your ship.”

Pointing to the nearly 1,000 people gathered at the dock, Hu Shulin said with a headache.

These days, the territories that come to trade at most have a dozen small sampans or two or three wooden cargo ships. After seeing so many, no one is curious, after all, it is still in the field of civilian ships.

But such a large armed ship is really unheard of and unseen.

“Then I’ll trouble Captain Hu!”

Without rejecting the other party’s kind invitation, the two also wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at the gathering place outside and investigate what level it has developed.

Hu Shulin nodded, turned around and led the way in front, and the group began to stroll on this island mainly used for living.

As they walked deeper, the unique appearance of this gathering place gradually appeared before their eyes.

Taking Mengyue Territory as a comparison, if the first impression there is that poverty is mixed with chaos, chaos is wrapped in madness, and madness reveals helplessness.

Then the first impression of this gathering place is that it is orderly and vibrant.

The streets are cleaned up. Although the buildings on both sides are mainly made of wood and stone, each one is of the same standard building, built according to a unified drawing, and looks very neat. There are

even small gardens in front of some houses. If you don’t pay attention, you might think you have gone to Hope Town.

Hu Shulin introduced the various public facilities in the gathering place while walking, such as a two-story building painted white not far away: “That is our health station. Although the equipment and medicines are very limited, our medical staff are very dedicated and have saved many people with various folk remedies. Even many survivors passing by were injured, and we are willing to rescue them.”

The two looked from a distance and saw that there were indeed several medical staff in uniform busy in front of the medical station, with serious and focused expressions on their faces.

“What about the price? How much do you charge for a treatment?”

When Hu Shulin mentioned this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face: “Then it should be quite expensive, right? After all, the health station is responsible for its own profits and losses. If there is no income, wouldn’t the medical staff be starving?” The charges

were not clearly stated, but both of them understood immediately that the price of a treatment should be very expensive.

But this is also true. In the modern developed conditions, many people cannot afford to see a doctor.

Not to mention coming to the wasteland with more difficult conditions, that is, the current small population of Tianyuan Territory can achieve partial free medical care. In the future, the fees should still be collected. At most, a certain reduction will be set according to the talent level, and major factories will provide medical insurance for employees.

Passing through the area near the dock, the buildings behind are inevitably scattered because they were built earlier.

Even when going to the next area, several pieces of farmland were opened up in the middle by taking advantage of the flat terrain.

After the disaster, many residents in the farmland are working hard.

Hu Shulin explained: “Although planting on the island is not a good idea, everyone understands the importance of self-sufficiency. Therefore, we have also opened up a lot of farmland to grow various vegetables and grains. We hope that in the future we can gradually improve our living conditions and reduce the demand for external materials.”

After the farmland, there is the workshop area on the island.

Hu Shulin did not lead the two to visit in detail here, probably because of the consideration of avoiding suspicion.

However, after only a few glances from a distance, the two could discover the actual industrial level of this gathering place from the details.

Probably at the level of the Middle Ages?

Mala Tiechui noticed that the division of labor in the workshop area was clear, with special areas for different crafts, such as forging, carpentry, textiles, smelting, etc., and each area had special craftsmen busy, using various tools and simple mechanical transmission equipment.

In addition, the two also noticed some more advanced equipment, such as water turbines and wind-driven machinery.

Although these equipment are simple, they represent the pursuit of industry by the Mining Island Alliance, and they are not like other human settlements that muddle through.

“Not simple, the lord here seems to be a powerful person.”

The two thought to themselves at the same time, and followed Hu Shulin through the workshop area and came to the last residential area.

When the group crossed the street, many residents cast curious eyes.

At the current average level of the wasteland, few settlements can extend their development tentacles beyond the territory, and few outsiders can travel long distances, especially those who are dressed so fresh and bright.

They showed surprise and envy on their faces, and some even whispered.

Hu Shulin seemed to have long been accustomed to such reactions. He smiled and waved to the residents, and then continued to lead the two forward.

After walking through several streets, they came to a small restaurant.

Although the restaurant was simple, it was clean and tidy inside.

The owner of the restaurant greeted them warmly and asked what they needed to eat.

Hu Shulin ordered a few wild vegetables, and then explained to the two: “We are short of supplies here, and the food is relatively simple, but these wild vegetables are all grown by ourselves, and the taste is pretty good.”

According to the general way of dealing with settlements, they may ask about the purpose of the visit and take them to see the lord.

But this mining island alliance is different. It obviously has a set of reception rules that are unique to other territories.

The two were not surprised. After a few polite words, they sat down at the table.

“Captain Hu, your development speed is not slow. It is faster than some territories with hundreds of thousands of people we know.”

“That’s right. Although there are only 180,000 people here, they are basically honest people who are willing to work hard. Those lazy survivors will be driven away after a few days.”

“Hey, after they were driven away, didn’t they expose the news of the mining island alliance?”

“It’s useless to expose it. Haha, not everyone’s speech on the world channel will have influence. What’s the use of a few people’s speech? Unless you have so many points that you can swipe the screen on the channel every day, it won’t attract any attention.” Hu Shulin heard something from the words and thought about the two people’s initial doubts.

“You were wondering before, why the gathering place that traded with us didn’t reveal the information, right?”

“It’s actually very simple. It’s just two words after all.”

“Benefits.”

Hu Shulin smiled, not like a deputy captain in charge of public security.

This is also the fact.

Before the Julong Xianjiang River appeared, the Mining Island Alliance had not yet been established, and six different settlements occupied this mineral-rich area.

Only after the Julong Xianjiang River appeared did this area become divided by water.

The original areas of the settlements were all divided on the island.

The minerals scattered on the surface were also concentrated and turned into mining islands.

Therefore, the lords of the six settlements decided to form a mining island alliance to unify the outside world.

However, the six settlements are still autonomous in private, and the managers of each island are the previous lords.

The current Tiantie Island is the former Tiantie territory.

And Hu Shulin is the captain of the security team of the Tiantie territory, and the number one person who controls the armed forces of the entire territory.

“When ground transportation was inconvenient before, it was useless to tell others about it. No one would be tempted by a territory occupying a mineral-rich area. After all, this stuff can’t be eaten. If no one buys it, it’s useless to mine more.”

“Now that transportation is convenient, our production is very limited. The more people know about this place, the less semi-finished ore they can buy at a low price, so naturally they won’t tell others about it.”

“So that’s how it is.” Spicy Hammer nodded in realization.

“Then how much is your production? What level can it be smelted to? Do you have high-forged iron? Forget it, do you have a detailed price list? Our territory needs all kinds of ores.” “

Uh, this” I didn’t expect Spicy Hammer to be so direct. A series of questions directly confused Hu Shulin.

In the past, those gathering places came to buy, and they had to go to the mining island to investigate.

After finishing the work, they had to go back and report to the lord, and wait until the second or even third trip to pick up the goods.

This is also why when the two came to the Mining Island Alliance, Hu Shulin did not take them to see the lord first.

“Then you eat, I’ll go call the supply department to come over, it’s in the workshop area, the area we came from.”

Realizing that a big customer might have come, Hu Shulin didn’t care to continue entertaining him.

He hurriedly apologized, turned out the door and ran to the workshop area, and sent someone to notify the manager.

Among the six islands, the minerals produced by Tiantie Island have never been stable and of low quality.

If it were ranked, it might only be fourth or even fifth, which directly led to most foreign buyers not placing orders with Tiantie Island.

Therefore, if you want to get orders, you have to save the country in a roundabout way and start from other aspects.

For example, better service attitude, lower supply prices, and more diversified trading methods.

“Brother, who is in there? Captain Hu seems to take it very seriously?”

Outside the restaurant, several ragged survivors came over, curiously looked over and asked.

The guard at the door glanced at him and didn’t want to answer, but he didn’t expect the other party to hand over a white steamed bun.

Swallowing his saliva, the guard took it calmly and put it in his arms.

The rule on the island is that you cannot accept items from outsiders, so as not to destroy cooperation and leave an impression of greed, but it does not say that you cannot accept items from survivors on the island.

“They are outsiders.” The guard member whispered, “Don’t even think about getting along with them. Did you see the iron boat at the dock? They are not short of people!”

“Oh, haha, I’m just asking, where are they from? I haven’t heard of such a powerful dragon in our southern part?”

“Where are they from?” The guard member frowned slightly.

“It seems to be the Mengyue Territory, right? That’s the name.”

“Mengyue?”
