My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1422

[1412. Chapter 1392 An accident occurred and arrived at Hu Lai City!]

They traveled between the ruins, used the plants they could find locally to tinker with a lot of new gadgets, and rediscovered the natural remedies that had been forgotten by modern technology.

From common weeds to rare forest flowers, after repeated experiments and attempts, alchemists have come up with a series of novel and effective medicines and treatments. Some can relieve the pain caused by various diseases, some can enhance the body’s ability to adapt to harsh environments, and some are said to temporarily improve a person’s physical fitness and perception, giving people more vitality in surviving in the wasteland.

The person that Su Mo is looking for now, Daoud Mayer, who is known as the “Little Shennong” in the future ruins, is one of the best alchemists.

It was his existence that gradually changed the survivors’ ideas and made them realize the value of various native plants in the wasteland.

Su Mo still clearly remembered that Wan Jingnian had lamented more than once that the book “Strange Prescriptions of Wasteland” he wrote and the opening of Wanyu Teahouse to sell herbal tea were largely influenced by Dawood Meyer.

If this man had not died early in the third year of the wasteland, human beings’ research on wasteland plants would probably have been more than ten times faster.

This is already a very scary number.

You have to know that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people who have chosen to become alchemists. Being able to do the work of a million people is enough to show Daud Meyer’s ability.

However, maybe it was because my luck ran out, the rest of the trip was disappointing.

Four days later.

When the few people who had dispersed to inquire about the news returned to the gathering point as time went by, Lao Zhang finally heard the news about Daud Meyer.

“What, dead?”

Su Mo was surprised and opened his mouth: “Where did you get this information? Could it be someone else with the same name? It seems that Westerners have a lot of duplicate names.”

“It shouldn’t be a duplicate name. The features that person described match what you told me, Mr. Ji. And he promised me that he would take me to find Daud Meyer’s grave tomorrow morning. We’ll know if he’s dead by then.”

“Wasn’t he alone? And there was someone to help bury him after his death?” Luo You was shocked.

Even during the tense period a while ago, when a family member’s survivor died, there was no such luxurious treatment.

At most, they would just hastily bury the body on the side of the road to prevent it from being exposed in the wilderness.

As for finding out where it was buried exactly, forget it. The person who buried it probably doesn’t even remember.

“He was indeed alone, but I didn’t expect that he could be so brave and aggressive. It was someone else who found the item first, but he insisted on snatching it away. Unexpectedly, he pushed the honest person to the edge and he accidentally beat him to death.”

Lao Zhang was speechless and said, “We wasted four or five days in this territory. It’s incredible that such a person could survive for two years in the wasteland. I don’t know what the current environment is like. He dares to fight with others lawlessly. If it were our Xingye Alliance, he would probably have been sunk into the river that night.”

“So, the people who killed him built his grave?”

Su Mo sighed. In fact, he had this premonition when he didn’t find anyone the next day.

It’s just that he found that the three people from the Luo family had made him taste the sweetness, so he has persisted until now and has not left.

Daoud Meyer is indeed a tough guy.

In various biographies of future ruins, everyone unanimously attributed his death to bad luck. He was accidentally injured on the battlefield between humans and aliens, which led to his unfortunate early death.

However, Su Mo learned the true situation from Wan Jingnian after he made inquiries from many sources.

At that time, there was a special plant that was rumored to be able to revive the dead, but it needed to absorb a large amount of blood from living things in order to grow.

Dawood Mayer’s purpose of sneaking into the battlefield was to find dead people for this plant to suck blood.

However, no one expected that the scale of the fighting would continue to expand, and the situation would change dramatically in the blink of an eye.

Before the greedy Daud Mayer had the chance to escape, he was surrounded and killed by the aliens in an inconspicuous corner.

Now the time has been advanced a lot, and there has been no large-scale fighting between humans and alien races. Su Mo originally thought that he could bring him back to the territory before these changes occurred. With sufficient resource support, this guy would probably not go out and seek death again.

However, it was unexpected that there would be no end to those who seek death, and Daoud Meyer’s death this time was even more outrageous than in the ruins.

Without achieving anything of note, he has already wasted the rest of his life.

But then again, it’s hard to say which way of dying is more comfortable: dying in fear on a chaotic battlefield with your body nowhere to be found, or being killed accidentally for being brave and fierce and having a grave to live in.

“Yes, the man who accidentally killed Dawood Meyer was a pastor. He not only built a tomb for him, but also helped him donate all the supplies he had left behind.”

“What a pity, what a pity, we are a step too late.”

After wasting four days here and getting such a result, Su Mo could only conclude that it was a pity.

However, this also reminded him that the future direction of the ruins and reality have indeed undergone tremendous changes.

Among those talented people who unfortunately died, some were like the three men of the Luo family, who died in the battle between humans and alien races. There was nothing wrong with their personalities and abilities.

But there are also some people like Daoud Meyer who caused their own death.

These people have inherent defects in their personalities, so unexpected situations are natural for them to occur in the changing timeline.

“It seems that the next choice should be changed. First, gather the talents with no flaws in their personalities to prevent any accidents. Once everyone is gathered, we can look for those with some problems.”

There are still 19 names on the list. Now with the unexpected appearance of Daud Meyer, Su Mo doesn’t know how many he can find in the end.

Fortunately, this trip was not completely fruitless. At least after staying on land for four days, Luo Xiang’s psychological shadow seemed to have been eliminated a lot. Only occasionally when the two met alone, a trace of resentment would occasionally flash in his eyes.

Soon, the group hurried back to the guerrilla boat, having rested enough after four days.

Everything had been packed and there was no need to sort anything else. After Su Mo decided on a location, the boat set sail under the cover of night.

At the same time, the fleet heading to the corporate city of Hu Lai finally arrived at the edge of Hu Lai City after nearly a week of sailing.

The northern area of the southern fire area.

Compared with the scattered island terrain to the west, the vast and endless wilderness plains to the east, and the endless and lush rainforest to the south, the northern area shows more of the majestic beauty of undulating canyons and overlapping mountains.

It is a bit similar to the Poisonous Insect Valley and the Heartless Valley that often appear in TV dramas. After being covered by the original forest landscape, the whole area is full of mystery and unknown. The roads between the canyons have become extremely rugged and difficult due to the complex and changeable terrain, as if they were obstacles deliberately set up by nature, testing the courage and determination of every creature trying to step into this forbidden area.

However, in the wasteland, this is an advantage to a certain extent.

At the very least, even if the alien races start a war in the short term, they will not set their sights on this area.

The east and west sides of the canyon are covered with dense virgin forests. The trees are tall and lush, providing a natural green barrier for the hidden city of Hulai, making the interior more secretive and peaceful.

To the north and south, a tributary of the giant dragon Xianjiang River passes through the canyon. Due to the difference in terrain, the river water is rushing continuously, and the deafening roar can be heard from several kilometers away.

Fortunately, the company’s infrastructure capabilities are still preserved, and after building the dams, there is no need to worry about tributaries bursting and impacting the city.

The entire river passes by the edge of Hu Lai City and flows straight forward to merge into the main trunk of the Julong Xianjiang River.

With Hu Lai City as the center, the survivors who came along the river up and down the river settled down here.

Under the cover of night, the huge frigate quietly sailed into the tributary, and after many twists and turns, it finally anchored in a deep valley where few people had ever been.

If there were not tens of thousands of survivors lingering around Hulai City, the frigate would have no problem going straight past because of the goodwill they had traded with the expedition team.

But now there are too many survivors, taking the Mining Island Alliance as an example, it is still not advisable to show off.

Soon, two sampans were pushed out from the stern cargo hold and thrown into the water.

“Just stay on the ship and wait for news. If someone finds you, don’t do anything. It’s best to persuade them to leave and move to another place so as not to attract the attention of the company.”

Feng Long gave some instructions and finally chose to only take his own Longming team with him as a safety guarantee, with the rest of the people staying on the boat to guard and provide support.

This is the most appropriate and correct choice at the moment. It would be difficult to run away if one gets into more trouble.

“It’s a pity that the guy with the Nuclear Rifle was sent to the giant tree root territory, otherwise he would be so excited right now.” Ming Wujing, the observer who was packing up his equipment, laughed.

Si Chunyi, the assaulter at the side, also smiled and said, “That’s fine. We can go take some photos and print them out for him to see. It will have the same effect.”

After saying that, they both turned their eyes to the sniper in the team, the ‘God of Death’ Baek Shou Geun.

The latter’s eyes flickered slightly, and although he said nothing, it was obvious from his appearance that he was already thinking of various strategies in his mind, and was ready to do something evil.

At this time, Feng Long walked in and knew what the three people were thinking at a glance.

He coughed lightly and said, “Okay, let’s get ready and set off quickly. It will be more difficult to travel during the day when there are too many people around.”

Including his team, there were four people in total. On the other side were Su Chan, Xi Ruyue, and Chu Chaofei. Two sampans were more than enough for seven people.

Following the slightly turbulent tributary, the two sampans untied the fixed ropes, and the guards left on the deck watched them, and only went back to rest after the ships disappeared from sight.

There are detailed maps left by the expedition team, with the terrain of each canyon marked extremely clearly.

From here, it is less than a hundred kilometers to reach the outer gathering place of the survivors.

A few dozen kilometers further ahead is where the city of Hu Lai is located.

Ming Wujing and Si Chunyi were responsible for rowing, while the others lay in the cabin with their eyes closed.

However, looking at Su Chan sleeping peacefully beside her, Xi Ruyue tossed and turned in the cabin. It was pitch dark and she couldn’t see the situation around her. Listening to the sound of flowing water, she couldn’t help but have wild thoughts.

The corporate city of Hulai is no secret in the world channel.

In other words, as time goes by, these Blue Star cities that have descended on the wasteland are no longer a secret.

As it is gradually discovered by others, it is inevitable that someone will mention it in the world channel, which will then lead to a large-scale discussion.

Even if the survivors ignore these sporadic discussions because they are busy, they can still find out from those who like to browse the channels.

As one of the blue star cities discovered by humans in the wasteland, Hu Lai City is one of the largest cities in the world.

In addition, the enterprise is one of the three major forces on Blue Star. Logically, it should be sought after by the survivors, and at least gather over a million people to try their luck.

But now there are only a few hundred thousand to two hundred thousand people in the surrounding area, and it cannot attract too many new survivors. This is very telling.

Although locational disadvantages exist, the main issue is the attitude of companies in approaching survivors.

What does it mean that there is no profit without early rise?
Enterprises vividly illustrate this point. Ordinary survivors do not even have the qualifications to approach or contact enterprises, let alone want their protection.

It’s frustrating to think about it. If a large-scale disaster really happens, the company may just have to watch the survivors die.

However, the purpose of those who stay here is very clear, which is to try their luck and seize opportunities.

Xi Ruyue kept thinking about why Su Mo sent them here, just to visit Hu Lai City?
It’s unlikely, Hu Lai City doesn’t need Su Chan, a biological sister, to come here.

There must be some interests here that Su Mo could value, so he asked them to come here first to gather information.

Chu Chaofei on the other side was also thinking about random things. Listening to Feng Long’s snoring beside his ear, he felt a little anxious.

Different from Xi Ruyue who was highly valued by Su Mo, he was just an insignificant partner.

It is enough to observe Soma’s attitude for this.

When facing Xi Ruyue, Su Mo always spoke in a teaching tone, but when dealing with him, he gave direct instructions.

On the surface, this seems to be a sign that Xi Ruyue is not doing well enough and is not reassuring enough.

But in fact, Su Mo’s treatment of Xi Ruyue is more like training, and the possibility of her being replaced becomes smaller as time goes by.

In Chu Chaofei’s opinion, the tasks he was asked to do could be done by anyone else, and they would not necessarily do worse than him.

This corporate trip is a rare opportunity.

You must demonstrate your irreplaceability or potential throughout the entire process, so that you will have a chance to be valued by Soma in the future.

As Chu Chaofei thought about this, his anxiety gradually disappeared and he fell asleep unknowingly.

When he opened his eyes again, he could see a lot of sparks not far away. There were houses built by humans on both sides of the river, and the land was reclaimed, brewing a strong breath of life.

Hu Lai City, here we are!
