My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1439
[1429. Chapter 1409: Giant Stone Territory, prying the girl in person!]
He thought that Su Mo would assign him an extremely dangerous task, one that could cost him his life at any time.
He also decided that after Su Mo finished speaking, he would agree to it without thinking twice to show his loyalty.
However, when he heard that Su Mo planned to establish a territory in the mountains and make him the lord.
Old Zhang was still stunned and unable to control himself, losing the ability to think.
The impending disaster will target every territory, and it is not clear whether it will affect individual people.
But if we establish a territory now, we will definitely have to face disaster.
After a while.
He came back to his senses and asked blankly, “Will the Golden Eagle agree to build a territory here?”
Su Mo smiled and replied, “I’m afraid I need to ask the Niu brothers more about this question.”
“them?”
Old Zhang was a little slow to react, and after a while he lost his voice and said, “Could it be that these people are not leaving and are planning to establish a new territory here?”
“Otherwise, you don’t really think that a group of healthy, capable, and courageous middle-aged men would lie down in this village because they are afraid of hardship?”
Before Su Mo could speak, Luo You curled his lips and told him what he had observed last night.
After the group of people left, he and Luo Jiao had nothing to do, so they simply wandered around the village several times in the second half of the night.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.
The number of middle-aged men remaining in this stone village was simply too great, almost abnormally so.
Moreover, the sufficient food they get as miners and the help of routes make this group of people’s physical fitness explosive.
Why are so many people staying in this abandoned village?
“I asked a lot of people, but they didn’t want to talk to me. But I found a child.”
“No, it was Luo Jiao who found it.”
Luo You smiled. Apart from anything else, the beauty trap is always useful in any era and any situation.
Although the innocent child was taught by adults to be extremely cautious with strangers, he still surrendered completely under the admiring looks of the opposite sex of the same age and the bombardment of some material things as sugar-coated bullets.
“Golden Eagle doesn’t keep idle people. These strong men are capable of doing any job with their physical fitness, but the elderly and children in their families can hardly handle the heavy workload.”
“Especially when the Golden Eagle had just relocated and needed to mobilize development, many people died of exhaustion.”
After Luo You briefly explained the reasons, he also told these people’s plans.
“If the plan goes well, they want to build a new territory here or nearby, focusing on farming and fishing. This way, they don’t have to take on too much work, and they can go to the Golden Eagle to exchange supplies when they need them. They can even join the Golden Eagle at any time when uncontrollable disasters occur.”
“What if the plan doesn’t go well?”
“Nonsense, then of course I’m joining the Golden Eagle. Do I have to go somewhere else?”
“Forehead”
Lao Zhang suddenly felt that his IQ was not low in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Su Mo and Luo You, perhaps he was just a fool?
However, when he thought that Su Mo was willing to let him be the lord instead of Luo You, Lao Zhang became happy again.
Sometimes being too smart makes it harder to gain trust.
Being a smart person in normal situations and a “fool” in special situations is actually the best choice in the current environment of the wasteland.
“So they are so familiar with the terrain of the mountain. Do they want to establish a territory on the mountain?”
“I guess so.” Su Mo nodded.
When the shady sides of several stone mountains were excavated, the miners deliberately dug out a number of caves.
Judging from the neatness of the interior, they were probably ready to leave the Golden Eagle at that time.
In addition, the Niu brothers are so familiar with the structure of the mountain, so this must take a long period of exploration to achieve.
“But we can’t be sure whether the Golden Giant Eagle can survive and build a territory here, so you have to go and find out with the Niu brothers.”
“That’s easy. I have plenty of ways to get people to talk.”
Lao Zhang patted his chest, showing great confidence in such a small matter.
When he left with a small bag of hard candy and strolled around the village to inquire about the situation, Luo You approached him with a worried look on his face.
“What are you thinking? Why are you building a territory here? Are you trying to attract the attention of the Golden Eagle in this way and give us a chance to enter?”
“Of course not. I have plenty of ways to get in.” Su Mo was very satisfied with Lao Zhang’s initiative. He said in a deep voice, “Initially, I planned to establish a territory here, gather those poor people outside, and see if I can find some talents.”
“And now?”
“Now I want to openly poach the Golden Eagle.”
Ever since he learned about the internal situation of the Golden Giant Eagle, Su Mo has come up with many ideas.
This time, he not only wanted to gather the survivors passing by, but also tell the Golden Eagle the value of human unity.
You also need to take advantage of your reputation and see if you can select a group of talents to bring back to your territory.
After all, there are hundreds of millions of people here, and even if they are only the most talented ones picked out of ten thousand, we can still gather ten thousand people!
“You are such a lunatic, how can they tolerate you doing this?” Luo You sighed.
What is the difference between this behavior and standing in front of the lords of the Golden Eagle, dancing naked and mocking them?
“Well, the probability is quite high. I don’t think they are unaware of the actions of the Niu brothers. By letting them stay here, they must have tacitly approved of something.”
“Or they are also happy to see a number of small and medium-sized territories appear around the Golden Eagle. This will not only solve the problem of everyone coming here to enjoy welfare, but also expand external demand and find a good market for the products produced by the factory.”
If the people of the Golden Eagle trusted the suggestions he had made in his previous letter, there shouldn’t be too many obstacles in establishing a territory.
On the contrary, they may provide certain support, perhaps as the initial cost of cultivating the market.
“I hope your guesses are correct.” Luo You kept silent. Since Su Mo had already made his decision and had reasons to convince others, he did not intend to hinder him. The truth would be revealed as long as Lao Zhang came back after finding out the news.
There are many abandoned houses in Shitou Village, most of which are covered with a thick layer of dust.
Fortunately, the temperature in the southern plate was higher and there was nothing extra inside, so the group just found a relatively clean empty room nearby to stay in and block the scorching sunlight above their heads.
At noon, Lao Zhang came back with a rosy face and full of excitement.
“That’s true. They did plan to establish a territory on the mountain, but later they considered that although the mountain was safe to a certain extent, its development would be severely restricted, so they didn’t take any action.”
It’s true.
Luo You, who had been worried for a while, suddenly brightened his eyes and the look he gave Su Mo changed.
This man is still so mysterious. Not only can he control himself freely in small and medium-sized territories, but he is still so bold as to come to a super territory like the Golden Giant Eagle.
“What should we do next? Everyone is qualified to establish a territory, but the problem is whether anyone will join. The Niu brothers are very influential in Shitou Village, but even if we bring him along, the number of people willing to follow will not exceed thirty.” Lao Zhang said worriedly.
The reason why we were able to bring along the Niu brothers was mainly due to the supplies provided by Su Mo.
Once supplies are cut off, these people will most likely leave without looking back and return to the village to wait for other opportunities.
Moreover, a disaster is about to come. Building the territory on a rock mountain may attract a tide of beasts to attack the village. It is hard to say whether others will agree to it.
“We don’t recruit people from here.” Su Mo was prepared.
Although the people here are the best labor force, including the elderly and children, they are also experienced. Since they have made up their minds to leave the Golden Giant Eagle, how could they casually join a newly established small territory.
If you just use supplies to clear the way, you will only end up attracting a group of ungrateful people without cohesion.
The best way is to let them rush to join and invest a certain amount of cost to form sunk cost, so that they will be reluctant to leave.
“We will go and recruit those disheartened survivors who came to the Golden Eagle.”
“Ah? Will they allow it?”
They refer to the people who were supervising outside when we left yesterday evening.
If he pried into the room in front of these people and told the survivors the Golden Eagle’s true intentions, his magazine would probably be emptied in a minute.
“You are stupid, we are not robbing people directly, we are just asking some idle people to come and help build the territory’s defense facilities.”
Su Mo narrowed his eyes. He believed that the survivors who could travel thousands of miles to the Golden Giant Eagle were all smart people.
As long as the people queuing up know that there is a territory with natural barriers here, some people will definitely not choose to become cannon fodder for the Golden Giant Eagle and fight the beast tide head-on.
“We will pay a certain amount of labor remuneration. Some survivors with families will definitely be tempted. They have nothing to do in the queue anyway, so why not leave one person to continue queuing while the others come to work for us?”
“As for the reward.”
Su Mo paused and waved at the air.
Boxes of supplies fell from the air with a crackling sound. The impact woke up the two children who were still catching up on their sleep. They thought they were dreaming when they saw the supplies constantly falling.
These unmarked cartons were very heavy. Several of them were blown apart in mid-air, and a lot of newly packaged dehydrated vegetables fell out.
“How can you still use the storage space?”
Luo You and Lao Zhang were shocked. Although Su Mo could always take out supplies from the small warehouse on the ship, they had never thought that there were humans who could use such magical methods.
“This is the start-up capital. We have to establish a cycle ourselves. Otherwise, I don’t have that much money to support the survival of thousands or tens of thousands of people.”
Su Mo did not answer the question directly, but changed the subject abruptly in a mysterious manner.
But it was precisely this that made Lao Zhang and Luo You deepen their judgment.
This is really unheard of. Does the game also treat survivors differently?
At this moment, in the Stone Village on the other side.
As soon as Lao Zhang found out the news and left, Niu Dan and Niu Shuang instantly stopped their pretending to be flattering smiles. The speed at which their expressions changed gave people the illusion that nothing had happened.
After closing the gate, more than a dozen men came out from the side room that had never been opened.
The weather was hot and everyone was shirtless, revealing their muscular tanned bodies.
“Brother Niu, have you found out more about this group of people? Where did this dragon from across the river come from?”
The group of people seemed to trust Niu Dan very much and called him Brother Niu affectionately.
“I don’t know. This bearded guy is very tight-lipped. I can’t get anything out of him.”
“He’s the leader?”
“Who knows?” Niu Dan thought about it.
Although it was Lao Zhang who was doing the errands, Su Mo and Luo You’s family stayed in the house to rest.
But aren’t they the same? The others stayed in the house, while he and Niu Shuang went out to investigate.
To put it bluntly, I just don’t trust the news that other people have heard.
“I won’t say any more. It seems that this group of people want to build a territory near our Stone Village. They have been testing the attitude of our Golden Eagle just now.”
“They, just those few people? Building a territory?” Laughter was heard from the crowd. Luo You was asking for information last night, and the people in Stone Village were also observing them early in the morning.
“Except for the bearded guy who is quite strong, the others are a cripple and two kids. Do we really need the guy with facial paralysis to do the work?”
Facial paralysis?
Niu Dan frowned. Unlike others, he felt that the middle-aged man with expressionless face was not simple.
Although he is serious and doesn’t talk too much nonsense, he can usually get straight to the point when asking a question.
But even if this guy has some brains, building a territory is a physical job and it is not enough to rely on just two people.
What’s the point of building a territory with only a few people?
“Who knows? They are so generous, not like the stingy survivors at all. I guess they are just here to gather information. Maybe there is a small force behind them.”
After thinking for a while, Niu Dan added: “Since we are so close, we can find out what they are going to do at the first time. If they hire someone to build the territory, we will be the best choice, and we can make a lot of money from it.”
“That’s great. If he uses supplies to win me over, I wouldn’t mind serving him as a head for a while!”
“Hehe, we all know the people who can do the work in Shitou Village. Who knows, we can work together to raise the wages.”
“I haven’t had enough to eat in days. If these guys can feed me, they will let me work for 16 hours.”
“What are you talking about? Didn’t we agree to only accept thirteen hours at most?”
“Oh, I forgot, I forgot.”
As the group of men were talking, they all couldn’t help but grin.
Thousands of people from Shitou Village have been squatting here for two months, but no one has stepped forward to call on everyone to build the territory.
This foreign dragon was really bold, thinking of building a territory with only a few people?
No one ridiculed him directly, but everyone was sure in their hearts that they were going to watch the joke.
