Chapter 1046 A first look at the bunker, the needs of war and peace!
It is naturally unrealistic to expect a group of wanderers who have been trained for three months to attack the Gopher Man's sanctuary.
It is difficult to even expect them to cause some trouble to the Gopher Man.
However, the intention of Sunny Harbor Sanctuary in sending out the Ranger Legion is very simple.
It is this kind of "mosquito" harassment that they need to keep the psychology of those shelter managers in a state of high pressure.
According to past experience, this group of people will definitely not be able to withstand it for long before they explode.
It may start from a tiny shelter, or it may be that a large shelter chooses to surrender.
As long as a gap opens, the seemingly united southern suburbs alliance will immediately fall apart.
This is an old tradition of gopher guys.
In the past hundreds of years, the alliance has never been separated and reunited for more than thirty years.
Even if there are no external conflicts, there will be internal fights over various unfair distribution of benefits.
Xia Zuo, who led the people to the mission point, obviously knew everyone's mission. Although he urged the others in the team to speed up, he was actually not in a hurry to go to the destination in a straight line.
The location of the ‘Dilonghua Sanctuary’ is at the outermost edge of the entire southern suburbs, almost in the wilderness.
The name was chosen because there was a large park above the pre-war shelter, with a large number of ground flowers planted there.
Xia Zuo thought it was his good luck to draw this place as a mission point.
But in fact, Edmund had sent people to organize the combat effectiveness of each team and form paper data.
To deal with these shelters that could run away at any time, he was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he could only send the weakest soldiers there.
But even if he knew that his team was the so-called "miscellaneous soldiers", Xia Zuo would most likely not care.
"Boss, do you really want to set a fire there?" The vice-captain said excitedly as his index finger repeatedly rubbed the bumps of the gun, with his bare shoulders revealing large tattoos.
“Of course, we want the entire southern suburbs to see this fire!”
If it was a foggy day a few days ago, the damp ground flowers may not be easy to ignite.
But the weather has cleared up and the humidity is receding rapidly. Flowers and plants exposed to the sun will become good fire starters.
As soon as the fire went down, Xia Zuo fully believed that the other party would be furious and fight back.
At that time, he had already taken people to the tavern in the Pumpkin Kefu bunker to drink.
“We were wanderers before, and we were allowed to enter the bunker. But now we have become legitimate Qinggang soldiers, what should we do if they don’t let us in?”
The vice-captain asked again stupidly, seeming to devote all his brains to his muscles.
"You are stupid. We took off our clothes and hid our weapons. Who would know that we are soldiers of the Rangers Legion?"
"Besides, if the shelters of the Southern Suburban Alliance dare to resist, then It's because they are underground. This bunker is on the ground. If they dare to attack us, they are provoking Qinggang Sanctuary. "
"Do they dare?" 'The Rangers are no longer very proficient in using this move.
Xia Zuo smiled vaguely, patted the deputy captain's shoulder, and said earnestly again:
"I said, Black, you don't really plan to work in the Rangers for the rest of your life, do you?"
“Huh?”
Blake, who had devil horns tattooed on his shoulders, was stunned and touched the back of his head honestly.
He was the new member of the team's second replenishment, but Xia Zuo chose him instead of an Easterner with the same skin color to become the vice-captain.
"Is there any other place for us to go?"
"Of course, we are free, no one can restrict us, not even Sunny Harbor Shelter."
"Give up and become a The world has changed, and the rules of the past no longer apply in the new world."
Looking into the distance.
For the first time, Xia Zuo felt that his IQ was suppressed.
Look, just a short time after arriving in this strange world, the city has undergone such earth-shaking changes.
Is it possible to expect things to calm down again in the future?
Tired of this endless war, Xia Zuo wanted to take a step forward and see other parts of the world more than the so-called future of life.
Just like the tavern in the Pumpkin Bunker, if you don’t go out, you may never be able to drink the sour green ale wine with a long aftertaste.
“Okay, let’s call the brothers and get ready to fight.”
"Follow me, and you will definitely discover your true talent in the future."
Large areas of pitchweed have appeared in the field of vision, and he bent down to test the dryness of the grass blades.
Xia Zuo raised his body with satisfaction and ordered Blake.
Pumpkin Kefu Bunker.
The wall simply built with sprayed concrete looks decent, enclosing about 500 acres of land in the middle.
Behind the wall, there are many rockery landscaping, scrawled pastures, and fruit trees dotted with red and blue. The half-opened land is not included and is left alone in the wilderness.
The architectural styles within the wall are very different, and there are about 6,000 people living there. Most of them are slaves bought back by the owner of the bunker, and some are wanderers who escaped from the city.
There is no hierarchy like ordinary gathering places, nor is there a specific and strict management system.
Except for the owner of the bunker, there is only a competent old housekeeper and a small team of less than thirty guards responsible for maintaining order.
It sounds strange, but it actually makes sense.
After all, no bold intruder would dare to harass the bunker built near the Holy City. The college's legions would attack with thunderous force at any time, attacking the intruders in a trinity.
Recruiting more guards will only make management more troublesome. Katarina likes to be lazy, so most things are done as simple as possible.
If the shelters in the city are the product of extremes caused by the war, then this bunker looks more like another extreme where survivors from the safe world gather.
Because most of them were slaves, the people here were born miserable.
Either you are a poor person who grew up in a garbage dump without a father or a mother and chose to sell himself.
Either his business failed, he owed a large amount of debt and could not repay it, and he was eventually beaten into slavery.
There are also some who suddenly encountered local wars, unfortunately became prisoners, and eventually became slaves.
Almost everyone’s story is different, but if you tell it, you can definitely tell it from dawn to dusk.
Still for the sake of simplicity.
Katrina’s criteria for selecting slaves are also very simple, as long as she has blood on her hands, she will not accept them.
The same goes for those who have no skills and cannot support themselves, and they are all screened out in the first wave.
Those who can stay are basically ordinary people with clean wealth and skills that can support themselves.
These people are extremely satisfied with the life in the bunker. They take care of their master's property wholeheartedly without any complaints.
Even now that they have traveled to this strange world, not many people choose to leave.
Of course, we can’t live without it. Even if they are allowed to bring supplies and weapons to the wilderness, it is impossible to completely change their fate.
What can you gain by becoming a free person?
The wanderers in the bunker clamor for freedom every day, but when they are hungry, they do not have to humble themselves and beg for a bite to eat.
They don't care about the dirty work at all. They work hard without any complaints, but in the end they only get a meager salary.
Seeing the tragic experience of these people, the slaves became even more panicked, fearing that they would also live such a life in the future.
At first glance, the guard captain came back to inform everyone that the bunker had received support from the South Suburban Alliance.
In the near future, the envoys from the Tianyuan Refuge will come to the bunker for inspection.
Almost everyone chose to take a shower, put on the latest clothes in the wardrobe, and looked their best to welcome the arrival of the messenger.
In order to be more in tune with the other party's speech habits, the guard captain even held a small class in the small square in the middle of the wall.
“Unlike the gopher guys in the city, Tianyuan Shelter is a beautiful gathering place, just like us.”
“Their buildings are all built on the ground, unlike the despicable gophers who only know how to hide under the surface and never see the sun all day long.”
“They have acres and acres of cultivated farmland with green plantings. The crops, how should I put it, even when the land behind us was growing at its peak, it was probably at the level I saw before."
"In addition, they also have delicious food and the housekeepers there. Arrange a sumptuous lunch for me, I promise, I have never eaten such sweet polenta in my life, it is like sunshine shining in the bowl!"
Hear the voice of the guard captain! He gave an emotional speech, and suddenly there was a murmur of whispers around him.
Especially the cooks in charge of food in the bunker, their faces showed expressions of either excitement or eagerness to try.
To observe whether a gathering place is civilized and developed, the most important criterion is the level of food.
Food made from starch, synthetic vegetables, and synthetic meat produced in machines is of the lowest standard.
No matter how you handle it, it tastes like dry chewing "screws" and always has an industrial smell.
Further up, there are planting areas, where staple foods can be replaced by fresh crops. The level is slightly higher.
In the Holy City, such agricultural products can be sold at high prices, in exchange for large quantities of useful industrial materials.
Even for territories hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from the Holy City, trucks would often come to sell them.
As for further improvement.
That is to pursue the taste of food.
Only the rich care about whether the food on the table is delicious and whether it can provide additional spiritual enjoyment.
It seems that the development of that Tianyuan shelter is pretty good?
But there were also worried expressions on some people's faces, most of them townspeople who owned stores in the bunker.
Unlike those who worked hard, they were not bought by Catalina, but craftsmen who chose to open their business here.
It was only because of this unexpected incident that I was temporarily left in the bunker.
If Yuan Shelter extends its tentacles of development here, their products will definitely be affected.
Even after the business is gone, they may have to work like those slaves.
A middle-aged man who owned a 'mechanical repair shop' in the bunker looked at the guard captain and frowned and asked:
"Captain Nat, they can come to our bunker, and we can go to their refuge." So? ”
The tree dies but the person lives.
Instead of passively waiting for your business to be taken away, it is better to go to the other party's territory to actually investigate and investigate.
If the strength of the other party's shelter will really impact your own industry, it is better to make plans early.
"No for the time being, well, you can't go for the time being."
Nat coughed lightly and looked at the commotion below and quickly explained: "It's not that they don't allow us to enter, but the straight-line distance between the two sides is more than There are many dangers along the way, and even our guards have to be very careful to get through. As you know, there is not enough manpower in the bunker to protect you there, unless the other party is willing to send someone to pick you up." br>
“Or hire those homeless people as bodyguards and see if they can escort you there?”
When the danger was mentioned, some people who complained immediately shut up.
At this time, a wanderer came out of nowhere, licked his face and came forward and asked:
"Can we go there too?"
Nat was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Why not?"
In his impression, the guard who took him to visit the 'Barren Bone Village' on the fifth floor seemed to have said that there were some useless places in the city. Homeless homeless people were taken in and a gathering place was established.
Since they can take them in, the manager of Tianyuan Shelter shouldn’t hate homeless people, right?
After everyone heard that the Western Suburbs Alliance actually had a camp composed of homeless people, a few of the originally listless homeless people suddenly became interested and their eyes lit up.
The residents in the bunker also smelled the "opportunity" and dispersed in droves, running home to prepare.
Well, it's definitely not that the bunker is not safe at all.
But they wanted to see what the extremely sweet polenta tasted like in Nat's mouth.
After a whole foggy day, everyone is about to get moldy.
The bunker has abandoned farmland, pastures, and orchards. Apart from basic work, there is almost no place for them to perform.
Even if you have to go to the other party's shelter to clean the toilet, as long as you can eat delicious food and live a stable life, that is not a bad thing!
Of course, what they won't know is that.
At this moment, the two teams of scavengers who were about to set off for the bunker also prepared their gear and were equally excited.
"Listen carefully, when facing the aborigines, we must not reveal any information about the game, disasters, routes, etc. Otherwise, the player will be disqualified if the number is too high."
At the security wall of the territory, Feng Tianmin approached the scavenging team and warned again.
"Understood."
"Received."
The captain of the first team is a male gun brother, and the team members are Lao Dao, Dream Taoist, and the newly joined tough guy Bandit and two two get four.
The captain of the second team is a nuclear-powered rifle. The team members are the owner of the fire weapons store, "Yuyou Fire King", the "old electrician" from the grocery repair shop, "You Gary has no one" from the recycling station, and "Wanna Eat Candy" from the handicraft shop.
It seems that the original plan was to send two teams of scavengers there.
But before leaving, the bosses who had opened shops came over one after another and proposed the idea of inspecting the market.
Sumo summed it up and simply agreed and sent nuclear rifles for protection.
After all, the other two companies in the Western Suburbs Alliance do not lack basic commodities and have no trade needs except food.
But the Pumpkin Kefu Bunker is different. I heard that it is difficult to get the right weapons there.
If we can open up the market while taking advantage of the metal aging disaster, we can earn more than a little bit!
