My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1471

[1462. Chapter 1439: Fault development, the final tranquility!]

But just as the captain said, he felt at the time that it was stupid to build a small territory on the mountain.

Without sufficient resources for development and with poor risk resistance, it is necessary to develop a solid foundation.

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating happen to be the most important part of the basics.

Like the Stone Territory, there is no suitable terrain for planting and development, and food can only be purchased from outside channels.

Once a situation like the Tyrael Territory occurs, if the goods cannot be traded, the territory will automatically fall into trouble.

When you sell something, others know your difficulties and maliciously try to lower your price.

If you don’t want to lower the price, then unite all the surrounding territories to lower the price together.

You are short of supplies and are forced to lower the price in exchange, but the other party will continue to ask for more, and the price will sooner or later become lower and lower.

There are many ways to break the deadlock, the simplest way is to hit out with your fist.

But,
does the Stone Territory have this ability?

“Brother Song, you better think about it. The price won’t be the same next time you come back.”

The person who spoke earlier shouted again.

Seeing the people from the Boulder Territory leave with a cold snort, the people watching the excitement suddenly laughed.

The medicines in the Stone Territory are indeed good and cheap, but who doesn’t want the price to be even cheaper?

“Tsk”

Musk snorted meaninglessly, feeling somewhat disgusted by this behavior at the dock.

But he didn’t say much. Small territories naturally have their own rules. Even if two territories are both targets of assistance, he would not intervene and force a deal.

What’s more, the Giant Stone Territory is not even on the assistance list, so there is no need to express any opinions.

“The ship from Tesla’s territory is here. Hurry up and call the lord over.”

After the people from the Big Stone Territory left, the onlookers dispersed and immediately discovered several large ships approaching the dock.

Suddenly the dock became lively again, and no one cared about the incident that had happened before.

The sky is gloomy.

By noon, sporadic rain was inevitable, bringing a hint of coolness.

Su Mo stood up and pushed open the glass window of the stone house, feeling the moist scent of the earth blowing towards him and took a deep breath.

It’s very addictive and makes people feel refreshed.

“It’s been a long time since I last felt peaceful and stable. No disasters have come, and no disputes have arisen.”

The threat posed by the first stage of the dead tide was not even as great as the first acid rain disaster that humanity experienced.

Those monsters that seemed terrifying at first glance, after the veil of mystery faded, some people have the courage to actively hunt them down.

If this continues, it won’t be long before humans rebuild civilization in the wasteland.

Unfortunately, Su Mo knew that such a comfortable life would not last long.

He is the only one in the entire wasteland who can enter the space inside the cauldron and see the detailed changing data of the death tide disaster.

Just twenty-five days after the disaster struck, more than half of the five million deaths had already occurred.

If this trend continues, it will probably only take one or two months to enter the second stage, which is much faster than the previous estimate of half a year.

As for the reason, Su Mo could probably guess it.

As soon as the environment becomes stable, human ambitions, which have been suppressed for a long time, will become more and more unscrupulous, just like a beast released from a cage.

Until one day, at a certain moment, I suddenly realized how stupid my previous behavior was.

Boom.

A muffled thunder sounded.

The raindrops gradually became bigger and were blown diagonally into the window by the wind.

A few drops of rain fell on Su Mo’s face, interrupting his thoughts. He quickly closed the window.

The raindrops fell and hit the glass, leaving traces like tears.

Su Mo raised his hand and turned on the light. The bright light drove away the darkness of the cloudy day and brought a touch of warmth.

Just then, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door.

There was a knock on the door.

“Lao Zhang?” Su Mo heard the rhythm of the footsteps and asked.

“It’s me, Boss Ji. Something happened with the trading team we sent out today.” Lao Zhang’s voice sounded outside the door.

“Trading team?”

Su Mo frowned subconsciously. Although he had guessed that this day would come, he still didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

Just like the human death toll, the deterioration of the environment caught people off guard.

Click.

Su Mo opened the door from the inside, and Lao Zhang came out in the rain wearing only a simple straw raincoat.

He hung his rain hat on the hook at the door, then shook the water off his feet before walking in.

“Could it be that the people outside are teaming up to lower the price?”

“Oh, you guessed it right, that’s exactly the case.” Lao Zhang had already organized his words before coming in, but he still didn’t expect that Su Mo had already guessed it in advance.

“That group of people took advantage of the fact that we have no arable land and that the demand for food is increasing as the population expands, so they united to test our bottom line.”

In the past, when the population was small and the environment was unstable, people knew very little about the situation in the Stone Territory. When they saw that the price of medicine was not high, they would naturally be surprised and pay for it.

But as the environment gradually stabilized and more and more information was shared, it became difficult to keep the situation inside the Stone Territory secret from the outside world.

There is no arable land, no food, and backward productivity. The only thing they can offer is medicine.

No matter how you look at it, the Stone Territory seems to be a soft persimmon that is easy to control.

“It’s not just this reason. It may be due to the increasing volume of our shipments recently.”

Su Mo pondered for a moment and returned to the stone bench and sat down.

From the initial dozens of kilograms to the current daily trading volume of hundreds of kilograms, supplying several territories.

Anti-inflammatory drugs cannot be taken as food, and this amount of supply has long exceeded the market’s absorption rate.

Especially now that the major territories have already formulated regulations on how to deal with the death tide monsters, even if someone is injured, they are only the soldiers who participated in the battle, and not much medicine will be needed.

When ordinary people see this situation, they will no longer secretly stockpile medicines just in case as they did before.

Even if the major territories are not aware of the problems in the Stone Territory, it won’t be long before the pharmaceutical trade will inevitably cool down and sales will drop significantly.

“So what should we do now? Should we start selling building bubbles?” Lao Zhang almost blurted out.

To be frank, neither medicine nor building bubbles are what the survivors urgently need now.

Especially now that we are entering the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it is a rainy season with continuous rain.

Even if the building bubble is launched into the market at this time, it will not have much response. Instead, it will attract those territories that are participating in the “encirclement and suppression of the boulder” to shift their focus from drugs to the building bubble.

If we can suppress the price of medicine, can we not suppress the construction bubble?
“The materials we have traded for this period of time should be able to last for a while, right?”

“It’s not just a period of time. If the population doesn’t expand, we will have no problem holding on until the end of the year.”

When mentioning this, Lao Zhang’s droopy face finally broke into a smile.

Medicines are a highly profitable business, with the initial difference between cost and selling price being nearly dozens of times.

In fact, even if you sell these territories at the discounted price now, you can still make four or five times the profit.

Therefore, by selling only a few tons of medicine, the Stone Territory accumulated enough supplies to last three thousand people for more than half a year. This was an astonishing speed.

“Then there’s no rush. We have plenty of food and drink, and we’ll wait for the opportunity.”

After seeing Lao Zhang off, Su Mo watched the rain and fog swallow Lao Zhang’s back and disappear into the gloomy sky.

Compared with more than half a month ago, the first floor platform now seems to have a different appearance.

The hardened platform road surface looks particularly clean and tidy after being washed by rain.

The falling rain water had no time to stay before it was directed into the drainage channels on both sides of the road due to the terrain, and poured all the way down to the foot of the mountain along the mountain road.

On both sides of the road, stone houses are scattered in an orderly manner. Some are high, some are low, some are square, and some are round. Each has its own characteristics, but they are harmoniously integrated into one, like a building created by nature itself.

Amid the rain and fog, a few dim lights have been turned on, casting a warm and peaceful light.

It’s a pity that the storm is about to come, and who knows when this last bit of peace and warmth will be destroyed.

In this man-eating wasteland, if you don’t fight, grab or struggle, and just seek stability, you will never find a place to stand.

This is true for the Tianyuan Territory and the Jushi Territory as well.

“Let it end quickly. Maybe sometimes a disaster with a bigger power is a good thing.”

Su Mo shook his head, returned to the room, closed the door, and continued to organize the technical information he brought back from the special space to form a complete theoretical guidance.

These materials may be harmful rather than helpful to the current Giant Stone Territory, but they will be of great help to the future development of Tianyuan Territory, and can save a lot of time in reproducing existing technologies.

The teleportation opportunity comes once a month and cannot be wasted.

The cooling time for the next transmission will end soon, and Su Mo plans to bring the information back then.

Although he, as the lord, is not in the territory and no longer uses survival points to accelerate development, with this information, the development of Tianyuan territory will not be much slower.

Before I knew it, seven days had passed in a flash.

During this period, it rained continuously without stopping for a moment, almost causing a flood.

The Stone Territory had only a few acres of arable land that had been forcibly opened up in the mountains, and the seeds had only been sown not long ago, so there was no need to worry about the impact of the rain.

But the group of territories at the foot of the mountain who had secretly united and were planning to target the Boulder Territory were now too busy to care about anything else.

Flood diversion channels were opened up to divert the flow of rainwater as much as possible.

All the major federal territories, including the Golden Giant Eagle, temporarily put aside their disputes and focused on protecting the harvest and food.

Buzz.

An illusory figure slowly solidified in the lord’s room on the second floor of Tianyuan Dungeon.

Su Mo shook off the few drops of water that flowed down his hair, put his backpack on the stool, and picked up the towel hanging on the stool to wipe it.

There is no dust and there is a faint fragrance.

“Home is still the best.” Su Mo let out a long breath, sat in the familiar seat, and felt a little relieved.

During this month, he had been copying the information he had brought back from memory almost non-stop.

Currently, there are as many as sixty-four large-scale branch technologies recorded.

Focusing on people’s livelihood, it covers almost all technical difficulties that may be encountered in the development of a territory.

In addition, there are 270 small branch technologies, such as those related to stress fields.

Even if Tianyuan Research Institute can reproduce these technologies as quickly as possible, it will take at least one or even two years.

By then, the first gambling fight should have come to an end, and it was time for Tianyuan to step forward.

“The technology we brought here is almost complete. Next, we have to see how the alien race responds.”

With a hint of expectation, Su Mo secretly summoned all the people who attended the last meeting one by one.

However, he was cautious this time, guessing that after so much time had passed, the aliens might have already planted spies in the surrounding area.

Therefore, the meeting place was changed from reality to virtuality.

The meeting method has also become one-on-one to prevent everyone from disappearing together and attracting attention from the outside world.

First is Qiao Yuansheng.

Two figures appeared in the conference room simulated in the virtual world.

Knowing that Su Mo would be back in a month, Qiao Yuansheng was not surprised and reported immediately:

“According to the development plan formulated by the territory, we have recruited nearly 400,000 people in succession during this period. The current population of the territory is approaching 600,000, and the size has almost doubled.”

“Six hundred thousand?” Su Mo raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely satisfied with the number.

“We have arranged for most of the new population to live in the new district that was expanded in Sunny Harbor City. The buildings there are old and run-down, but after renovation, they are quite comfortable to live in and easy to manage.”

Dean Qiao reported enthusiastically that although all this was in the plan, it was not an easy task to fully implement it.

Su Mo listened carefully for a while and felt relieved.

There is now a huge development gap between Tianyuan and other human territories.

Moreover, it has been proven in the future ruins that even if he is gone, the Tianyuan territory can still develop stably relying on the foundation accumulated previously.

The foundation of Tianyuan Territory is much stronger now than it was a year ago, so there will naturally be no problem.

“What about the aliens? Are the dwarves making any moves?”

“There were several disturbances, but it was because we pushed the dwarves into a corner.” Qiao Yuansheng explained with a smile, “Feng Long treats the dwarves as experience treasures. Now whenever a new recruit is trained, he will take him to the Red Flower Gang for training. This not only allows them to get familiar with fighting with alien races in advance, but also improves the level of the route.”

“That’s good. Our development is now on the right track. As long as everything goes according to plan, it will be a great success. The only thing we need to worry about is the aliens. The alien gods have known about the last gambling fight for a long time, but they haven’t made any moves until now. I suspect that these people are holding back a lot. We must not take it lightly no matter what.”

Su Mo nodded slightly, feeling a little amused.

Whether now or in the ruins, dwarves are the best training objects for Tianyuan Territory.

However, the fight is imminent and no one can predict what will happen, so it is better to be cautious.
