My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 1189: The Alliance Chamber of Commerce is back from the expedition!
The latest website: The cold winter rain in the wasteland in April lasted for five days.
The raindrops mixed in the mist were as sharp as needles, hitting the body as if it could tear the skin.
Especially the raindrops dripping down the back of the neck, as if they are trying to **** away all the body heat from a person, and then freeze the soul.
Fortunately, the Tianyuan Territory has already prepared corresponding measures to prevent the cold.
Whether it is the heating tunnels that are being inspected every day, or the two new sets of warm cotton clothes that each person can replace, or the free cold-repelling soup at the entrance of each village.
A multi-pronged approach prevented the wind chill caused by the cooling from sweeping over.
However, in other parts of the New World, the impact of the sudden cooling was severe.
Those territories with tens of thousands of people are okay. The lord has the decision-making control. He can order everyone to shrink for a while without affecting development.
But it is difficult to do this in hundreds of thousands or millions of territories. The huge population size inherently determines that it is more difficult to execute simpler orders. Many lords are already worried about the spread of large-scale plague caused by cold wind.
“It’s too cold today, I don’t know what it’s like in other places”
At the stall distributing cold-repelling soup at the outpost, Fan Fu was putting down the medicine bowl and looking to the horizon with some worry.
From being at a loss five days ago, to gradually accepting it, and now integrating into it.
In this village and town that has regained civilization, the things he worries about have begun to change.
It’s no longer about daily sustenance, nor about the dangers around us.
More importantly, they became worried about other survivors in other parts of the New World.
The steward in charge of the cold-repelling soup stall took the bowl and put it into the hot water bucket next to it for high-temperature sterilization.
Then he shook his shoulders and said with a smile:
"Old Fan, don't worry, I'm telling you, this wasteland isn't your turn to worry about yet."
The steward's name is Leng Arong. He is not an old resident, but also a newcomer in the past few months.
Because he is diligent and conscientious in his work, and he learns Blue Star Language very quickly.
Only in this way can he stand out among tens of thousands of people, and soon he can get the position of the person in charge in front of the stage.
"What do I worry about? I'm just worried about them."
Fan Fuzheng sighed, originally he wanted to say something harsh.
But it was difficult to disguise the words, so I could only sigh and tell the truth.
"Unlike in our territory, where everyone has new clothes to wear, many people in my previous territory still wear thin knitted clothes. When the cold weather comes, some people will get seriously ill!"
In the Taihu Territory, the people gathered in the Taihu Territory are all individuals with good character and families who can endure hardships.
It can be in the wasteland, it can be in the end of the world.
In a chaotic era, good character naturally means poverty. It is impossible to rob others and quickly accumulate wealth like those bandits.
Coming to the New World, it coincides with the cold winter. I am afraid that the next days will be difficult.
"There's no way around it. You also know the current situation. It's because of the blessings of the lords and the group of old residents who first came to the New World to endure hardships that those of us are living today.
Stop thinking about it, you will feel uncomfortable if you think too much! ”
Ah Rong comforted him, his tone filled with both happiness and emotion.
After getting to know Fan Fuzheng in the past two or three days, he also knew that this talent that the lord personally recruited from the fighting arena was born with a compassionate heart.
But just like what he said, in the chaotic wasteland, kindness and kindness can't save anyone.
On the contrary, you will fall into a cycle of mental internal friction.
"Brother Rong, I'm here to buy soup and medicine again. Could you please pack fifty portions? It's urgently needed!"
While the two were talking, a Blue Star man came over with a smile on his face.
It's Gopher Man!
The temperature has dropped in recent days, and the residents in the shelter are doing okay, but the guards who need to go out on duty are freezing.
After all, even when the temperature in Qinggang City was the lowest, it was five degrees above zero.
For example, the weather is now close to minus 30 degrees, which is the first time that everyone has been exposed to it since they were born.
"One copper coin for one portion, fifty copies, fifty copper coins."
"Huh? The price has increased?"
Yesterday, a portion of the decoction only cost 8 iron coins, and fifty portions only cost 40 copper coins.
Today, it increased by ten?
The Blue Star person in charge of purchasing was immediately dumbfounded and counted the money in his pocket with trembling hands.
There are forty-six in total, and there are still four gaps.
“These medicinal materials do not come from the sky, they are all grown bit by bit in the ground, and the output will decrease when the weather gets cold.
Furthermore, the people responsible for planting medicinal materials have to go out to take care of them in the cold weather. Shouldn't this give them a higher salary?
The price increase has been registered. You can check it by going to the Exchange Office at the main entrance. ”
Leng Arong patiently explained that he did not have the slightest prejudice because the other party was from Blue Star.
In recent months.
As the surrounding environment gradually stabilized due to the dichotomy between the Alliance and the Clear Harbor Sanctuary, the demand suppressed by the struggle in the major shelters in the city also began to surge, forming a basic business environment.
And unlike the previous one-on-one transactions, the two parties always have to worry about whether the other party will do something dirty.
Business today is extremely fair and transparent.
One of the two largest entities is the Alliance Chamber of Commerce established by the Alliance, and the other is the Qinggang Market established by the Qinggang Shelter.
Trade within the control of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
Not only can you get all-round protection from Alliance soldiers to ensure that no vicious incidents will occur.
You can also go to the alliance's main trading point, Tianyuan Outpost.
Not only can you purchase a more complete range of goods here, but you can also check the completely fair and transparent registered prices in real time at the General Administration of Trade.
This alone completely breaks the previous vicious trading environment where you were blind to me.
On the other side is Qinggang Market.
Although Tang En copied these rules, he also added the benefit of door-to-door delivery.
But why are the gophers in the city still willing to come to the Alliance Chamber of Commerce to trade?
There are three main reasons.
First, because of the richness of types, the two cannot be compared at all.
The supplies sold by the Alliance Chamber of Commerce cover many aspects, including not only food, energy, metals, agricultural products, industrial products, building materials, medicines, daily necessities, but also powerful arms!
As long as it can pass the alliance's review, it can be purchased at an unimaginably low price.
Secondly, because of the transparency of the registration price, there are credibility endorsements from managers of several shelters.
Although everyone didn't quite believe in the character of Yehu and Aldrich, they had great trust in Mr. Sumo, the manager of Tianyuan who was majestic when he appeared and even had the ability to arm-wrestle with Hades.
In addition, during this period, the Alliance Chamber of Commerce did punish several examples of malicious violations.
Whether it's just for show, it's real.
These real-life cases are deeply imprinted in the minds of every shelter manager, leaving an extremely trustworthy impression.
The third thing is the respect shown by Leng Arong now.
The alliance's power is at its peak.
Especially after installing more and more tanks and weapons, it has become several times more powerful than before the Metal Sigh disaster.
In the past, when there were such terrifying forces, they would often use force to overwhelm other shelters.
But now, no matter it is a large or small shelter, no matter it is a resident or manager in any shelter.
Everyone can be respected within the alliance's jurisdiction and treated equally.
And this is exactly what Sunny Harbor Sanctuary cannot do under any circumstances.
Their arrogance has been imprinted in their bones. Even if they realize that the world is different now, it will be difficult to reverse it in a short time.
"Okay, I only have forty-six copper coins here." After counting all the money, the Blue Star person in charge of purchasing was too lazy to make a wasted trip to the Exchange Office, so he could only say helplessly.
However, before he could finish speaking, Fan Fuzheng's voice sounded next to him.
"I'll make up for the rest."
"Huh?"
The Blue Star person in charge of purchasing turned around in surprise, thinking he had met an acquaintance from a nearby shelter.
But the next second, he froze on the spot.
"Is it you?"
"Captain Roman, we meet again." Fan Fu was smiling and took out four copper coins from his pocket.
Blue Star Language and Chinese Language have some similarities in some aspects.
Currently, the Tianyuan Territory has compiled a complete teaching book. Fan Fuzheng has only studied for five days, and he can already communicate with the basics without any problems.
Of course, the accent must sound a little strange.
"No, we can't accept this."
Roman was stunned, then quickly shook his head, trying to reject Fan Fuzheng's kindness.
Being able to obtain unlimited trading rights for half a year has already put Yin’s Shelter on the fast track to development.
These days, the managers have all told him to thank him properly when he finds a noble person.
Why are you collecting money now without thanking me?
"It's okay, just treat it like I lent it to you and return it to me later!"
Fan Fuzheng shook his head and simply gave the four copper coins directly to the steward Leng Arong.
After getting to know the surrounding situation in the past few days, he also knew that life in these small shelters was not much easier than in the Taihu Territory.
It is even because I have forgotten how to develop externally, sometimes I can’t find a direction even if I try hard.
"Thank you!"
Just thinking it was a loan, Roman felt relieved.
Eagerly, he handed over all the copper coins in his hand and watched Ah Rong counting packages of soups one after another from the frame at the back, with joy in his eyes.
A portion of the decoction can cook five large pots, and one pot can be shared with eighty people.
Fifty portions can be used by almost everyone in the Silver Shelter to survive the cold winter.
As long as we can wait until spring when the weather gets warmer.
I heard that the Alliance and Sunny Harbor Sanctuary intend to jointly rebuild the city. Catching up with this wave of development, the life of Silver Sanctuary will soon get better.
"Thank you for saving our family before. I don't know Blue Star Language, so forgive me!"
Fan Fu was helping to load the medicine and thanked him smoothly.
This is a sincere statement from the bottom of my heart.
The family had just arrived in Qinggang City and experienced hundreds of radioactive beasts attacking them. It was a moment of shock.
Although the team led by Roman did not play a big role, the sense of security it brought was unparalleled.
And it was he who took his family to the checkpoint and entered the Tianyuan territory without any danger.
"You are too polite. You are from the alliance, so you are our friends!"
"The Alliance has given us so much help. Lord Sumo is willing to give us trading permissions. We should also help the Alliance share its worries!"
Roman took the satchel full of soup and medicine, feeling full of peace of mind.
When he spoke, he was a little more brisk and dog-legged.
In fact, just a few months ago, Yin's Sanctuary was still in the South Suburban Alliance and looked down upon the Western Suburban Alliance at all.
But now that people who don’t know hear it, they think that the Silver Sanctuary has been a loyal supporter of the Alliance from the beginning to the end.
"Haha, what you said is nice, I like to hear it."
After finishing writing the sales order, Leng Arong raised his head and was about to stuff the order into his bag.
At this moment, the alarm bells suddenly blared in the originally quiet outpost, and the street lights on both sides of the cement road began to flash yellow warning lights.
"Is the enemy coming?"
Roman was startled and subconsciously hugged the bag in his hand tightly, looking around at places where he could hide.
He is not worried about this inexplicable enemy that may appear. Is there any way for the alliance to deal with it?
If the Alliance can't handle it, then there's nothing the Silver Sanctuary can do.
"It's not the enemy. The enemy's invasion is represented by red light and yellow"
"Gathering event!"
Fan Fuzheng was very calm, recalling the manual he had read dozens of times in the past two days.
The alarm bell and the red glow represent a major emergency, and enemy invasion is one of the main reasons.
The alarm bell and yellow light represent the need to gather manpower, not necessarily an enemy invasion.
"It's such a cold weather, how about gathering people together?"
"Isn't this an offensive and defensive drill?"
Leng Arong shrank his head and watched as more and more people began to run out of the ordinary buildings around him.
Some people clearly looked like ordinary residents in the outpost, but the bright guns that were visible under their clothes showed that they were plainclothes guards.
Some people were cleaning the streets, and when they swiped the broom, they pulled out a rifle.
What's going on?
Looking at a cleaner who usually brags with him, he now turned into a gun-toting guard.
Leng Arong's eyes couldn't help but focus forward, and he saw the long queue and the flow of people coming under the security wall.
This is
More than eighty tanks of various types drove in through the gap under the security wall like a long queue.
A dense crowd of soldiers surrounded the chariot and followed them in. At a glance, the number was no less than a thousand.
Boom, boom.
The soldiers' steps were extremely neat, and every step was full of strength and determination. When they fell, they seemed to cause the ground to vibrate.
The chilly atmosphere spread, immediately causing the still panicked outpost to become completely silent.
In the dim light of the rainy day, their shadows did not appear tall.
But that body that has gone through a long journey, crossed mountains and rivers, experienced countless hardships and dangers, and that face that has been weathered and carved with traces of coldness is full of determination and victory.
"The expeditionary force is back?"
An old resident reacted ~IndoMTL.com~ and suddenly expressed surprise.
Unconsciously, nearly two months have passed.
It was still early March when the expeditionary force set out, the first snow had not fallen in the New Wasteland, and there were only more than 10,000 people in the entire Tianyuan territory.
When I returned, it was already the middle of winter, the end of April.
Tianyuan's territory expanded several times, and the number of people reached nearly 50,000.
There are too many newcomers who only know from the conversations of old residents that the territory has sent an expeditionary force to perform tasks, but they have no idea about the configuration of the expeditionary force and the status of the war.
Now, the situation is clear.
This expeditionary force, which has been away from its territory for a long time, is finally back!
