My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 639: Transferring conflicts, the means of the mysterious lord
Chapter 642 Transferring conflicts, the means of the mysterious lord
The sound of the sheep bells, with the opening of the first shop in the territory of origin, kept coming from the street.
The sky is just dawning.
The two front and rear gates of the origin territory were opened by guards, announcing the end of the overnight curfew.
In the wasteland of the last days, there is no night.
Everything must be done as early as possible, and start as soon as possible.
Those caravans that stayed in the territory of origin and had already sold their stolen goods would catch up at this time, take their goods back on the road early, and head for the outside world.
The travelers who arrived outside the territory last night will also enter the territory as early as possible, find a place to eat and rest, and go out to do errands.
The time is already a week after the end of the heavy snowfall.
Countless caravans that had been shut down due to disasters finally returned to normal gradually, and began to get used to continuing to do business in such a harsh environment.
and as an integral part.
The territory of origin has gradually recovered a bit of its former prosperity.
In the Sanyuan Hotel near the small market on the right side of the Origin Territory, Sumo opened the window halfway, curiously looking at the various stalls that had been set up below.
This location, although not as good as the terrain of the official guest house in the Origin Territory, you can see many larger shops when you go downstairs.
It is not as good as Kaiyun Hotel being in the center of the territory, and there are guards nearby as a security guarantee.
But the reason why it is chosen here is because of the two words Huang Bing introduced before.
True!
"Sure enough, just like modern cities, in the big market in the original territory, there are some outsiders trading things. Apart from a wider variety of commodities, there is no advantage in price at all."
“Here, they are all locals. The variety of goods may be worse, but the price is definitely cheaper!”
Most of the people who can set up stalls here are the aborigines near the original territory.
They will bring the rewards from the lucky bags, as well as the mountain goods found in the mountains and fields, here for sale.
Occasionally, a few leaks can be picked up from these things.
And if luck breaks out, you might meet some nearby refugees and sell them with the things they looted from the ruins.
As for why there are no "outsiders" here to pick up the leak.
According to Huang Bing, there are only two words:
Exclusive!
咚咚咚.
While thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door of the house.
Before entering the Origin Territory, Su Mo explained that any soldier who wants to enter, only needs to tap twice.
And now.
"Please come in." Su Mo withdrew his gaze and turned to the door.
With a bang, the door opened, and the person standing outside was none other than Huang Bing, the short guard who left last night.
It's different from last night's attire.
After a night, Huang Bing had already taken off his decent guard uniform, and put on the coarse cotton clothes similar to those of the local refugees.
It can be seen that Huang Bing still put some thought into it if he is a good guide in the future and gets only one day's food reward.
"Master Yang, the morning market has already opened. If you have meal needs or want to buy some precious goods, it is best to start now"
"If it is later, the stalls opened by the locals will be closed"
"Oh? Close so early?" The current time is only half past six in the morning, and after three or four hours, it's only ten o'clock.
Close up so early?
Su Mo couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
"It's like this, although everyone is a local, but they still belong to the territory, divided into daily tasks, and there are tasks"
"Come here to set up stalls and trade. Most people come here early, and then return to the territory at eight or nine o'clock, and continue to complete the tasks assigned by the lord." Huang Bing patiently explained a few words, and then smiled wryly:
"My lord, you can actually understand it this way. Completing the daily tasks assigned by the lord is considered our full-time job when we are on earth. We must complete the quality and quantity every day in order to get the rations issued. Dismissed and unemployed"
"Come here to set up a stall, just like we go to the night market to earn extra money after get off work at night. It is a part-time job, no matter how much it is, we can only follow the fate. If we rely on this to eat, I am afraid that we will starve to death"
"What about you?" Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Me?" Huang Bing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "The guard works seven days a week, three days of work and five days of food distribution, so I have four days of free time a week to work part-time. Make up for the two days of lack of food"
During the conversation, vaguely.
Huang Bing felt that the bearded man in front of him, who looked exactly like a bandit, seemed different from the ordinary people he usually received.
It's like a lion suddenly dropped into a wild cat infested wasteland.
Although both belong to the cat family, there is a huge gap between them in terms of bearing and strength.
Moreover, in the eyes of this Lord Yang who has the same name as Erlang God in Chinese mythology.
Huang Bing failed to see the contempt for a long time.
And this is what surprised him the most.
"Let's go, since they will leave in a while, we really need to move faster"
Get up, pick up the fur-collared coat on the head of the bed, Su Mo casually put some on his body.
Suddenly, the disappearing feeling of the king of the mountain returned to him miraculously.
"Master Yang, what are your subordinates?" Huang Bing scratched his head in doubt as he saw Su Mo going out alone.
"Don't worry about them, it may be that they are too tired from the journey, so let's sleep more!"
When Huang Bing mentioned it, Su Mo laughed, but after thinking about it, he casually pointed to two soldiers sitting in the lobby of the hotel, bragging with other travelers.
Within your own territory, you don't need to bring people with you when you travel.
But in this origin territory, there are some problems.
Whether you are in trouble when going out, or you are responsible for carrying and paying for the purchase, there must be someone to help you.
As for Feng Tianmin, Feng Long, and Guan Yu'an.
Su Mo didn't lie, the three of them had indeed gone back to their room to catch up on sleep.
After a night of operation and exploration, while familiarizing themselves with the operation methods of adventure mechanics, the three of them almost turned the entire public part of the origin territory upside down.
At present, a simple but not simple map has been initially drawn.
From the layout of each room, to the height of the building, to its general purpose, it is basically marked clearly.
And the group of bounty hunters who made up their minds about themselves and others could not escape the pursuit.
It was extremely relaxed, so Feng Long followed the vines all the way to find the base camp where they gathered.
According to this progress, at the latest tonight, everyone can start the first wave of action, trying to preemptively strike.
And now during the day, it is also time to catch up on sleep, to accumulate energy for the night.
"Master Yang, let's have breakfast first, or go to the market first"
Out of the hotel gate, standing on the dilapidated gravel road, Huang Bing looked around, and calmly touched his belly, which was already protesting.
The reason why he agreed to use three days of labor in exchange for one day's food.
The reason is simple.
Includes food!
In the past, when I met good customers, even if I couldn't get a full meal in three days, I could barely eat half full, saving the food for the day.
Meet poor customers, go hungry twice a day, and need to add another meal at night to fall asleep, and you can save two days of food in three days.
Accumulate day and month, and only by saving in this way can we accumulate enough supplies to survive the disaster.
This is the first time I met Su Mo, a "different" King of the Mountain, Huang Bing was a little uncertain about whether he would be able to spend more than half his life today.
"Well, let's eat first, just find a similar breakfast shop!"
Standing in the alleyway lined with stone houses, Sumo has become the focus of the crowd's attention not long after.
Regarding his attire, most people thought it was a joke at first, wondering where such a freak came out, and they were so high-profile.
But when Su Mo turned around, after looking at the shiny black standard pistol at his waist, these people quickly put away all their expressions, for fear of touching the plague god's brow.
In the wasteland, this is the time.
They are all people who came from the age of civilization, and everyone is naturally aware of the terrible fate that will happen if the gun is pointed at themselves and the trigger is pulled.
Guns.
is still a good treasure that is hard to find in thousands of miles, and it is a weapon that everyone wants in the true sense.
Being able to own it, not to mention other things, just in terms of strength, there is no doubt!
"A similar breakfast shop?" After hearing Sumo's request, Huang Bing's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. He quickly identified the direction and set off with Sumo and the others.
In the territory of origin, there are not many places to eat.
Some part-time refugees who come here to set up stalls are counted as one. They will bring the wild vegetables dug up before to make soup and make cakes for sale, which is the worst class.
A little further up, it is the shops that are specially set up in the central gathering place by the major branch territories to sell revenue.
The grade of this kind of shop is medium, and the quality of the food is also good, so it is very popular among foreign travelers.
Being able to go here for a meal, Huang Bing was excited and walked briskly. During the chat and introduction all the way, his mouth became a little more flexible.
"Master Yang, there are currently about 37,000 permanent residents in the origin territory, and twenty-one branch territories have been set up."
"The territory with the largest number of people is called the main peak, and it occupies the top of that mountain!" Pointing to a towering mountain that can be seen from the gathering place, Huang Bing continued with pride:
"There are 7,900 people in the main peak, and the lord is naturally the lord of our entire origin territory, and I am a member of the main peak, and I am currently a second-class citizen"
"Second Class?"
The information inside the territory of origin happened to be what Sumo wanted to know the most along the way.
Relying on the soldiers to go out slowly to inquire, it's not impossible, but the speed is a bit slow.
Now, since Huang Bing had started the conversation, Su Mo thought about it and started to ask.
"Yes, since the new lord came over in our main peak, new rules have been established"
"Among them, all the people living on the main peak will be divided into several different levels. According to the lowest level of the first level and the highest level of the ninth level, the positions, jobs and salaries in the territory will be negotiated"
"Of course, most people are still in the first class, and only those who have contributed to the territory can reach the second class"
"I think about it, it seems that the people above the second class are only in their early 300s?"
Puting his chest out, Huang Bing didn't explain exactly how he became a second-class leader, but it could be seen from his expression that the second-class was obviously not due to his strength.
Mostly, it is luck.
"Will there be these levels in other territories?"
Huang Bing nodded: "Almost, twenty-one territories, the top ten territories have basically followed this system, but there are some differences in names, for example, the Marshal Wang that my lord was looking for before, his Jiuqufeng territory , Now the levels are also divided into one to nine, but in terms of names, they are first-rank, second-rank and ninth-rank. In private, we all joke that this lord has read too many martial arts novels, and even the entire ninth-rank master comes out!"
"By the way, there is also that one, which is the eighth-ranked Chuanfeng, and the people living there are all foreigners, the blond ones, and their title level is even more strange. First-level planters, call the guards of the territory first-level knight guards, and you will think this is a magical world!"
Tucao a few words about this, and a few words about that.
From Huang Bing's words, it can be heard that within the entire origin territory, the twenty-one branch territories are not monolithic at present.
Here, there is also a chain of contempt, and there is also a hierarchy.
The second-class citizens on the main peak look down on the citizens of other peaks, and the reserve refugees on the main peak also look down on ordinary refugees on other peaks.
Including those who come out of the main peak to do business or work, most of them look down on people from other peaks in their jobs.
This weird institutional atmosphere.
After listening, Su Mo didn't give any opinion, but continued to talk about the topic casually.
But he nodded silently in his heart, giving an evaluation of this so-called promotion system.
The four words transfer contradictions!
This may be the mysterious lord who came out of the ruins, and it really is not a good thing.
He knows very well that the Origin Territory has a large population and complex conflicts among them, making it extremely difficult to integrate and manage.
But to develop, these people cannot be allowed to do whatever they want, and do whatever they want.
That's why such a rising system was created, and everyone was involved.
When there are foreign refugees joining, the selection will bring the better people to the front of the mountain, giving them enough sense of superiority and upward momentum.
And these outstanding people happen to be the group most prone to problems in the territory.
Without them, even if the people behind want to do something, they don't have the IQ and enough resources.
After being merged into the mountain at the back, and giving some benefits that seem like nothing, these slow-paced people will gradually form the bottom of the entire group, and continue to send fresh blood to the top.
With such a cycle, all the conflicts of the residents of the rear mountain are transferred to the residents of the front mountain.
The contradictions of first-class citizens will be transferred to second-class or even higher-class citizens.
As the lord, the ruler of this original territory only needs to be responsible for the top few people so that there will be no problems, and he will blame himself.
The entire territory can operate spontaneously and provide resources continuously.
It's vicious, but it also happens to conform to the rules in the last days.
The weak eat the strong!
"The front is the kitchen of our main peak, my lord, why don't you go there to exchange some currency for payment and use it later?"
Pass through several alleys all the way, and come to the main street.
Pointing to a stone house guarded by armed guards ~IndoMTL.com~ and many people lined up, Huang Bing showed envious eyes.
He is not envious of the tens of thousands of resources that are processed here every day, but the guard standing at the door.
Has a gun and is admired by everyone.
Compared to myself at the gate of the village with only a dilapidated steel knife in my hand, if I can be promoted here, it will be regarded as the pinnacle of my life!
So anxious in his heart, Huang Bing forgot Sumo's reaction behind him for a while.
A few moments later, when he suddenly realized why Su Mo didn't reply for so long.
Huang Bing turned his head suddenly, but froze in place.
Behind him, the face on the screw beard still exuded domineering and calm.
But for the first time, he saw a strange emotion in Su Mo's eyes.
That is the emotion that ordinary people seldom, or basically have no emotion when they see this trading house.
There is a bit of surprise, a bit of exclamation, and a bit of it.
Mocking?
