My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 734: The disaster is over and food prices are skyrocketing!
Chapter 737 The disaster is over, food prices are skyrocketing!
The first wave of hailstones started with a diameter of 3cm, about the size of an egg.
According to the frequency of 5,000 per minute per square kilometer, it is not scary, but the crackling sound of the explosion on the ground and buildings makes one's scalp numb.
Through the camera, Su Mo focused on the changes of several test buildings outside.
Among them, the brick and tile structure really couldn't withstand the continuous bombardment of the hail, and holes were formed in about ten minutes, making it difficult to continue protecting the objects inside.
However, the buildings made of reinforced concrete and solid wood are still solid, basically ignoring the attack brought by the first wave of hail.
"It seems that the target of this disaster is not human beings, but those exposed buildings and farmland"
“Reducing food production is probably the first goal of this hail disaster”
Put down the tablet, Su Mo gradually felt something bad.
This discovery is quite a big deal.
You must know that the seasons in the wasteland are qualitatively different from those on the earth.
Taking the summer harvest as an example, the summer harvest on the earth is around the time of ear seedlings, that is, from mid-May to mid-June.
But on the wasteland, due to the climate, the maturity time of crops is generally pulled to mid-June to mid-July.
There is a full month of time gap in between.
And the various crops in Tianyuan Territory mature much faster than the crops in other gathering places.
Like the previous green fruit territory, if the fields over there want to mature, they have to wait until at least mid-July before harvesting.
Also, after last year’s food price hype in Wuya Mansion and other big territories, Tianyuan Territory, as the talker, has put a lot of its own inventory into the market to force down the price in order to calm down the sudden price increase , turned hostile to several large territories currently sitting on food.
Once the hailstorm is over, the other side will take advantage of this request to make some moves on the price of food, in order to leverage the financial background of the territory.
The consequences are unimaginable!
"No, if this is the case, there is no reason for the territory to know the news in advance and not take action"
"Could it be said"
After suddenly remembering that the management of the territory could know the news of the disaster half a month in advance, Su Mo smelled a hint of conspiracy again.
As far as the situation is concerned, the current major territories of the wasteland still lack a lot of low-level labor for construction.
The solidified identity class makes it more difficult to replenish these fresh blood.
A very simple example.
It is also a 1000-point identity. If it is in the territory of Qingguo, it can be enough to buy the identity of a middle-level and high-level manager.
Not only do you not need to do physical work, you can enjoy a comfortable and leisurely life, but you can also use this identity to dominate and dominate ordinary people.
But if you take these 1000 points to the Tianyuan Territory and look through the entire price list, you can only buy an ordinary plantation worker status.
Comparing the two, anyone with a normal mind will make a choice.
But if it is because of the reduction in food production, the economy of those small and medium-sized territories will directly rot and collapse.
The choice of ordinary civilians is hard to say.
Perhaps those who have certain assets will choose to continue to persevere in the territory until the next harvest time comes.
But those who have no assets, even if they are black households, probably will not choose to keep them.
Within a month or two at most, they will use various methods to flow into the territories where food prices are still balanced, so as to survive.
"This move is too poisonous. If my guess is true, this plan is completely squeezing the living space of small and medium territories."
"Those ordinary people, even if they have joined a large territory, have no identity, and do the lowest-level work, but as long as they can feed them, they can be wooed with a little welfare, which greatly replenishes the fresh labor blood of the territory "
"And... whoever can do a better job in welfare will be able to absorb more people at this time!"
It's hard to get the face of the fight.
After all, if one company starts to viciously compete and involve, it will easily cause a large-scale collapse of identity, and the rules of the game established by themselves will directly rot.
And those who have just spent huge sums of money to buy identities will immediately find that the identities they bought have plummeted, causing turmoil.
Only in this way can we continue to absorb high-level talents who can produce a certain number of points, maintain the rules on the surface and continue to operate, and secretly win over black households without identities.
Only by "inadvertently" can the reversal between territories be completed.
"Identity, it really is an identity again!"
"These black households sneaking into the city have no identities. If they want to stay, they must be extremely eager to have an identity that can be handed out, so that they don't have to live a life of fear and expulsion at any time"
"If someone comes to open a lending business at this time, let them buy a basic identity with a long-term loan, and use the next few decades to repay the loan"
"Then in the past few decades, the territory can have a laborer who has worked hard and always bowed to the bottom. The income they create can also be used by the territory to continue construction and complete various facilities to resist disasters"
Suddenly saw through the true meaning of this layer of game rules, Su Mo only felt a chill down his back, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Call it bad, the territory wants to build these public facilities, and wants to implement the so-called "underground civilization" plan.
It will inevitably require countless ordinary people to work at the bottom and provide a lot of labor to complete it.
In addition, through the identity, you can continue to harvest those big money-making households, so that they can also use the money for territorial disaster-resistance construction and various technological research and development.
But let’s talk about it, everyone in the last days is living a poor life, and they are extremely hopeless about their future lives.
Under such exploitation, it is bound to be like an opened grenade, but the tab is temporarily pinched.
Once the tab is loosened one day, the explosive inside will explode, and the person holding the tab will also be killed.
"I must quickly verify these ideas of mine"
"If it is true, it means that the era of chaos and turmoil is coming again!"
"At that time, the relationship between territories will be determined by means, and even the cities within the territory will be reshuffled"
Thinking of this, Su Mo also had some guesses about the identity of the administrator of Baoyu County, which was suddenly rewarded by the game.
He stayed in this small town of Sangtian, just waiting for the final zombie disaster, which was obviously not what the game wanted to see.
Considering all human actions, they cannot escape the monitoring of the game.
If the game wants him to gain authority in this world, it has to continue to secretly support him to promote his outstanding performance as an outsider in disaster relief.
Making his ranking appear on the standings is a means, and rewarding him with the status of manager of Baoyu Town worth four million is also a means.
"Going to Baoyu County, is the development hint given by the game?"
The more thorough his thinking, the more cautious Somo became, not daring to think about it in a low voice, for fear that the game of being watched would be overheard.
I want to be the Lord of the Territory within one year and lead the entire territory through the next super disaster without revealing my identity.
There are only two paths.
The first one is the violent superiority conceived before, and the beheading operation will be carried out directly after the mecha is made.
Kill all those who betray the territory, or those who have dissent, in order to complete the concentration of power.
The second article is to draw it slowly, seeing the big from the small.
Strive to complete the collection of rights within the rules, and directly use trading points to buy the desired identity.
I didn't know which one to use.
Sumo can only suppress his thoughts for the time being, and wait until after the summer harvest, he has obtained enough funds to make the mecha.
This time will not be long. According to the worst-case estimate, it will be completed by the first ten days of August at most.
At this time, there are still more than 10 months before he leaves this world.
Time is still very abundant!
Longqi Territory · Fire Province · Fenghuo City.
Under the gloomy sky, a huge translucent hood covered the entire city inside, exuding a faint glow.
The terrifying hail disaster, in this city that has integrated almost all human technology, can only be regarded as scratchy at best.
Even if it is a fist-sized ice cube, when it hits the protective cover, it can only cause a slight ripple, and then disappear.
In the city.
People come and go, and the traffic flow is endless.
People who go to work are still unshakable and go out at eight o'clock, take public transportation to the designated place, and complete the leftover work.
Those people in the service industry did not panic, they still had formulaic smiles on their faces, completing their own jobs.
Identity divides people into grades, grades, grades, and at the same time leaves the possibility of upward promotion to obtain a better life.
Even if life is the same, people living in this city still have great visions for tomorrow.
Of course, the whole city is not without changes.
It's like the Qingye villa area where many big shots live. After one night, the defense force has increased dozens of times.
One post at five steps, one post at ten steps.
Guards with live ammunition have blocked several surrounding streets since early in the morning, and the formation is terrifyingly large.
Go to the interior of the villa area.
Several vacant houses have been temporarily requisitioned as office areas, filled with various people in neat clothes.
It is next door to the sixteenth villa.
Looking at the several pieces of information sent over, a middle-aged man who was vaguely surrounded in the middle frowned suddenly: "Is there no news yet?"
"Returning to the army master, we have not been able to find Sumo's whereabouts, whether it is the scoreboard or the latest news from Tianyuan Territory"
"We suspect that the game made a mistake in the leaderboard, and there was a loophole, so the name was released." Three men in military uniform who looked like think tanks stood in front of the table and said respectfully.
"I made a mistake?" Hearing the guesses of his subordinates, the man called the military leader frowned even deeper: "What did Lord Su say, do they have any news?"
"No, and according to Lord Su Chan, she has used her exclusive communicator and issued several orders from the air, but she still hasn't found anything." Shaking his head, the man on the left said After that, another topic started:
"Master, according to the backstage call of the Sky Eye Project we developed together with Tianyuan Territory, we found that the other party's supervisory department had an illegal operation on the night of June 6, deleting some data and adding new ones. Some data has been entered. We cannot directly access the specific operation records for the time being, but the letter of application has been sent to Pei Shao, the head of the Supervision Department”
"In addition, we also obtained all their query records of the day through some built-in interfaces before. This part is fixed and cannot be deleted. There are a total of 47 people. This is the list"
seems to have guessed that the military leader will check the list of 47 people one by one. After speaking, the man directly took out a thick stack of papers from his pocket.
Among them, the data of the 47 people according to the number are all listed on it, and each person has more or less pages of introduction.
"47 people?"
After receiving the data, the army commander began to read them one by one.
His eyes are extremely venomous, and some materials are only read a few times before being placed aside.
Some of them carefully read them one by one before carefully placing them on the other side of their body.
Not long after, only nine of the 47 materials were left, and they were listed in front of him.
If Su Mo could see the names on these materials at this time, he would be surprised to find that his seamless personal data was also placed in it, but the ranking was slightly lower, ranking eighth.
"These nine people, continue to check for me"
"In addition, to improve the protection of Lord Su's courtyard, I need to ensure that this matter is over, and before the coffin is finalized, no villain can disturb Lord Su's daily life for any reason."
"Those who violate the order, regardless of their identity, will be killed without mercy!"
Speaking of the word protection, the military leader's face changed slightly, and there was a faint murderous look.
Human nature is a very complicated thing.
If there is a bright side, there must be a dark side.
The cruelty of the doomsday wasteland will greatly separate the two, positive people will be more positive, and evil people will be more evil.
For ordinary people, the Human God Su is the hope of the future and a synonym for myriad possibilities.
However, in the black market where the scope of influence is small but cannot be ignored, the human God Su is a "goods" and an expensive "treasure".
Take the reward list as an example.
Human God Su has been ranked first for six years, and the amount is as high as billions.
Countless people who follow this list want to know why he can have so many powerful props and weapons in the first year of Wasteland.
There are also countless people who want to track down the real reason for his disappearance, trying to find the way back to the earth.
In the past many years, although these people have spent too much time and thought on the random news, it has not stopped them from acting like crazy as soon as they have news.
But this time, the game suddenly appeared, putting its name on the list for the first time.
is enough to make these people move like sharks smelling blood.
"If he doesn't come back, then of course we don't have to worry, Tianyuan Territory is not made of mud, we will take care of everything"
"But if he really comes back, these lunatics can only become nutrients for his rise again." Scanning the information on the desktop again, the military leader smiled lightly and made a cool voice.
A sudden hail disaster.
Comes abruptly, and goes quickly.
When the disaster bell of Tianyuan Territory rang again, many migrant workers realized that the disaster had been successfully overcome.
Three days.
They went to sleep when they were full, and ate when they woke up. They lived extremely securely in the shelter established by the government, completely no longer the cautious look they had during the previous disaster.
Many people even wanted to join the Tianyuan Territory at the end of the disaster because of the comfort of these three days, no matter how much it cost.
"Come out, starting tonight, your freedom is back!"
After twelve o'clock, ten minutes after the hail disaster stopped, all the narrow official shelters finally sounded a unified horn.
Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers also began to follow the guidance of the staff and go to the ground along the passage.
"Huh, this hailstorm is so powerful that it smashed the ground like this!"
"Damn, the roads have been smashed~IndoMTL.com~ This time the Tianyuan Territory will cost a fortune"
"Unfortunately, this summer harvest has just passed by in such a hurry, I didn't even earn one-fifth of the previous year's money"
"You kid, just have fun. Those who work in the official plantation don't even have a tenth of you?"
"Hey hey, who made us smarter, no, Zizai Liangfang is smarter, their machine is really awesome!"
Walking on the street full of potholes, seeing the ice cubes that have not dissipated in front of them, many people gossiping with lingering fear and walking towards the public contact booth.
After the hailstorm, the ground has become like this, so there is no need to think about all the crops.
All they can do at this time is to contact their family members as soon as possible to see if their territory is safe, and then decide when to return to the territory.
But unfortunately, when the first person lined up to the contact booth and successfully made a call.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for all outsiders!
"What, the food price in the territory has increased five times!"
"Crazy?"
