My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1423

[1413. Chapter 1393: Foresight and Changes in the Enterprise!]

The houses on both sides of the tributary may not be neatly arranged, but at least each one looks solid and reliable. There are no dilapidated buildings that look like they are about to collapse, nor are there any buildings scattered all over the place in a messy manner.

What is even more striking is that, just in the outer part, you can see that many houses have built solid walls. This behavior is not only a definition of personal space, but also a clear signal that the survivors intend to live here for a long time and live in peace.

“It seems that companies are not as stingy as rumored.”

Chu Chaofei nodded in thought, his eyes slowly sweeping around, trying to infer the real situation behind it based on the actual conditions that could be observed with the naked eye.

If the company is really as stingy as rumored by the outside world, and is really indifferent and uncaring to the survivors, then those who stay here will never make the decision to stay in such a short time.

After all, in the current wasteland environment that is still full of opportunities and challenges, the choices of survivors are often more radical, and they will try their best to find a suitable place to settle down again.

But think about it, given the scale of the company, even if just a little bit slips through their fingers, it could be a precious opportunity to change the fate of ordinary survivors.

“We are preparing to dock at this fishing village. We will inquire about the situation at the outermost part a few days ago and then go in after we understand it clearly.”

Under Feng Long’s command, the two sampans began to leave the center of the river and row towards the shore.

According to the intelligence obtained, Hu Lai City divided the surrounding areas into regions according to distance, with each level being five kilometers, for a total of four regions.

The closer you get to the interior, the higher the level of the area, and the more difficult it is to qualify to enter.

The small fishing village where the sampan is currently docking may not even be able to fit into the fourth area, or it may be stuck on the edge of the fourth area.

According to common sense, the people here should be the least xenophobic.

As it turned out, Feng Long’s guess was correct.

There were still two people on duty at the dock of the small fishing village late at night. After discovering two approaching sampans, they not only did not show any panic, but also enthusiastically directed the boats to dock.

When they were almost reaching the shore, a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a swollen neck who was leading the group threw out a hemp rope. Feng Long quickly took it and tied it to the protrusion on the bow of the sampan used for fixing.

“Brothers, I don’t see you. Are you from outside?”

With the help of the firelight, the middle-aged man looked around and found that there were women on the two boats, and couldn’t help but speak out.

Fishermen would never bring women with them when they go into the water, even if they are their family members.

After all, no one can guarantee that in this chaotic world, there won’t be a fool obsessed with sex, causing unnecessary conflicts and frictions.

“Yes, we came all the way here. We heard that the company was here and wanted to try our luck.”

After securing the other boat, Feng Long climbed onto the dock and started chatting with the middle-aged man with a big neck.

It is said that everything is happy in a wealthy family and everything is prosperous in a wealthy family.

The order around Hu Lai City is not as chaotic as the outside world, and it develops relatively rapidly, resulting in the mental outlook of the survivors who have taken root nearby being completely different from that of the outside world.

“Then you have found the right place. People who come here are all here for the business.” Big Neck said as he helped pull the sampan with an extremely friendly attitude.

Of course, this is also because everyone changed their clothes before coming here, and the supplies and equipment were placed in the storage module, but it can still be seen from their mental appearance that they are not ordinary survivors.

The survivors who came to the vicinity of Hu Lai City hoping to try their luck would naturally not be stupid enough to offend such people.

“You are lucky. In two days, at the beginning of the month, Hulai City will open for new members. Once you complete the registration, you will be able to receive the benefits immediately.”

“There are benefits? Doesn’t the company care about the lives of the survivors?”

“That’s all in the past. It seems you don’t understand the current situation yet.” Big Neck laughed twice and hesitated to speak.

Feng Long’s eyes rolled and he took out two hard candies from his pocket and handed them over. The latter took them with a smile on his face. When he saw that they were hard currency, his attitude became even friendlier.

“Before, the company had maintained a clear avoidance attitude towards us. In other words, they didn’t care whether the survivors lived or died. They stubbornly believed that we had no value to be used and that contact would only waste time. Therefore, they didn’t even allow us to approach the surrounding areas of Hulai City. Even if we went over to take a look, we would be forced back by the guards.”

“I just don’t know if it’s because too many people have gathered here. The company can no longer ignore our existence. Some time ago, it had to make an experimental decision to divide the surrounding area into four different parts to manage and restrict the survivors from further contact with Hulai City.

But guess what, what was originally a helpless and expedient measure unexpectedly brought them sweet benefits. “

Big Neck looks like a rough man, but he speaks in a very sophisticated way.

“During the zoning process, many survivors who were waiting to play dumb finally showed their abilities and value in order to advance to higher-level areas. Some of them even showed abilities that attracted the attention of the companies. This made the companies realize that we survivors are not completely useless, and actually have great potential and value that can be utilized.”

“Therefore, the attitude of enterprises towards us has changed significantly in recent times. Not only have they started to launch a series of policies that are beneficial to survivors, but they have also opened up a number of welfare benefits. The settlement benefit I just mentioned is one of them.”

“Hey, if you say that, then why don’t I see any relevant information on the world channel?”

Xi Ruyue also came up, and when she heard what he said, she was moved and asked quickly.

If the company can really achieve this, the survivors will surely hear the news and come in large numbers.

But the reality is that there is no relevant news, including in some topics discussed recently, the company’s image is still stingy and extremely miserly.

“Sister, bad news travels a thousand miles, but good news never gets out.”

Big Neck looked at Xi Ruyue in surprise and said, “Isn’t it enough that more than 200,000 people are competing with you for welfare benefits? If you send the news to the world channel, will the people who see it think of you and give you material rewards?”

“Everyone who can come here is smart. Even if there are a few idiots who post it occasionally, no one will believe it.”

Damn, that’s so true.

In the past, those messages were all indifferent complaints from survivors, and occasionally you could see one or two sentences speaking for the companies.

No wonder the reputation of the World Channel has been getting lower and lower recently. It turns out that the treatment is getting better and better. No one wants more people to come here to grab the spots!

“There is another reason, as you can see. There really aren’t many places in the canyon where people can live. We are several kilometers away from the fourth area now. If more people come, where will they live?”

After getting the benefits, Big Neck didn’t keep anything to himself, because these were information that could be easily obtained.

The reason why he was willing to stay at the dock at night was that he wanted to earn some supplies with the newcomers to supplement his family income.

“You just arrived and it’s night time, so it may be difficult to find a place to stay for a while. Think about it, would you like to stay at my house for a few days? We have three houses, all brick houses. My brother and I live in one of them, and the other two can be rented to you for a short period of time.”

“You can rest assured, we just want to earn some supplies, we don’t have any other ideas.” The tall and thin man behind Big Neck also said.

It turns out that this person is Big Neck’s younger brother. No wonder he didn’t interrupt anyone the whole time.

Everyone looked at each other and thought what a coincidence.

Originally, the group had planned to stay in the wild tonight and then ask for information and find a place to stay tomorrow morning. Now that someone has taken the initiative to offer it, it is naturally a good thing.

After some haggling over the price, the deal was finally concluded with ten kilograms of coarse noodles, and two houses were rented for one month.

Judging from their extremely excited expressions, the price was actually too high.

However, when they are away from home, they will not suffer any loss if they can spend a little money to avoid trouble.

“You stay here, I’ll take them home to rest.”

Not to mention that these two brothers were able to build three brick houses in the wasteland, their brains are definitely far beyond those of ordinary people.

You can earn a penny working at the dock, a penny fishing at night, and a penny from survivors passing by.

One job can earn three times the money. If not this way, who will get rich?
Leaving the pier and walking towards the fishing village, there is a long wild trail.

Feng Long looked back and forth, then quickened his pace to catch up.

“You are so brave, aren’t you afraid that we will take over your nest?”

People who are used to walking at night would feel a little scared when coming to such a place, not to mention that we are in the wasteland now.

However, Big Neck still looked nonchalant, as if he was not worried at all about people attacking him.

“Of course I’m not afraid. You came here to survive. What’s the benefit of killing me?” Big Neck laughed indifferently: “Of course, if you think you can escape the company’s pursuit, you can try. Anyway, I am very relieved.”

“No way, would a company care about such a trivial matter as a death of a few people?”

“If I say that the company will take care of it, do you believe it?”

“You’ve got guts!” Feng Long gave a thumbs up.

Big Neck was sure that everyone was new here and would not dare to act rashly without any information.

“Not really. Haha, seeing that you guys are out with women, you probably aren’t bad people.”

This is one of the reasons.

What made Big Neck most relieved was that the figures of the people were very plump, including the two women, who did not look like they had suffered too much and did not look like refugees who had been hungry for a long time.

Since they are not refugees, it is impossible for them to force themselves into a desperate situation for the sake of immediate interests without any backup plan.

Across the path is the fishing village.

After walking around the village for more than ten minutes, Big Neck stopped at the door of a low bungalow.

“This is it.”

The wall is about two and a half meters high and is made of yellow mud and grass roots.

But when I opened the door, I saw that the three houses inside were indeed made of red bricks, and they should have been built not long ago.

There was also an open-air kitchen in the yard, with two black iron pots on the stove.

“Your conditions are much better than those of the survivors outside!”

Having your own yard, house, and all kinds of daily necessities is considered a wealthy life in a super territory.

“I’m just lucky. I always meet a few friends like you, so I can make a living.”

Just liking the surprised look of the foreign survivors, Big Neck led everyone in with a smile and introduced the two houses one by one.

Actually, there is no need to introduce it. There is not even a bed in the house. It is so empty that you can only sleep on the floor.

But having a place to shelter from the wind and rain and a wall to keep you out is always much more comfortable and safer than living in the wild.

“This is ten kilograms of coarse noodles. Please weigh it. If it’s okay, we will rest.”

Ming Wujing took out ten kilograms of black coarse flour from the bag of supplies on his back, put it in a straw basket and handed it over.

“Okay, okay.”

Big Neck took it quickly, paying no attention to the quality of the rough surface.

Nowadays, people with stutters are considered quite good. Who have the right to care about whether they are black or dirty?

Everyone ignored Big Neck’s counting and just waited for him to go out before closing the door and sitting on the ground to rest.

Speaking of it, taking a boat is quite tiring. You don’t feel grounded and always have a light and detached feeling.

“We are so lucky. We met a good person as soon as we arrived, which saved us a lot of trouble.” Su Chan was a little silly and happy.

The people here are not much different from those in Tianyuan Territory, and one can clearly sense the traces of the constraints of order.

“Our first step was indeed very smooth, but the company has actually begun to actively contact us Earth players. This is probably not good news,” Xi Ruyue also said.

There is no need to say much about the strength of Hu Lai City. Su Mo has already explained it very clearly before.

At this point in time, he is almost invincible, and anyone who touches him will die.

Such a giant is actually willing to lower its profile and take the initiative to contact the humans on Earth. Who knows what will happen next? If they also start to study the mysterious power of route like the academy, it will be a big trouble.

Before setting off, Su Mo gave them two mission objectives.

First, the unchanging poaching of talents!

In this new era full of unknowns and challenges, talent is undoubtedly the most valuable resource.

The super geniuses that Soma is looking for to emerge in the future ruins are certainly important, but in fact 90% of the progress advancement work requires the backbone forces who work silently and diligently to drive it forward.

These people may not have the dazzling brilliance of geniuses, but they are the most solid cornerstone of the team. Their continuous dedication and hard work are the important guarantee for the team to keep moving forward.

It just so happened that the company divided the survivors into different areas according to their abilities, saving the trouble of finding people, and they just had to dig in the first-level area and be done with it.

It would be best if we could recruit a hundred or eighty people back, which would immediately increase the research institute’s progress several times.

Second, gain an in-depth understanding of Hu Lai City and obtain as much information as possible.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Hu Lai City is only of medium size for Blue Star Enterprises, no one can ignore a corporate city with a complete industrial chain in the wasteland.

This can be seen from the corporate expedition teams sent out. Their strength can still be said to be invincible at the moment.

Moreover, because he had established contact with the foundation in advance, Su Mo did not think of relying on the help of the enterprise for development. The gap in strength between the two was simply too big.

Even if there is contact, one must be cautious and on guard to avoid being taken advantage of by the other party.

However, if there really comes a day when a great opportunity comes to him, he will not let it go.

Once you can master the various technologies that the company has collected and organized for hundreds of years, it is equivalent to saving millions of survival points.

Finding out information about companies in advance now is to prepare for possible conflicts in the future.
