Bizarre phantoms flashed, as if a fire was igniting beside him.
The continuous icy rain beat down, and it seemed like we were in a cold hell again.
A Yan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly trembled and suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
A feeling of weakness came over him, making him unable to muster any strength.
Especially the lower body, it was as numb as if it was gone, and only the eyelids could be controlled.
Me, am I dead?
Ayan breathed a sigh of relief at the novel feeling he had never experienced before, as if dying was not a big deal?
In addition to not being able to move, he can still think and is very warm.
There's even a scent.
Wait, scent?
The gradual return of hearing and smell brings more information.
It seems that someone is eating something at the bar. You can tell by the sound without looking. The food must be very delicious.
"Hey, Lao Xia, he seems to have woken up!"
The voice came to mind next to him, and then there was a sound of footsteps.
A man wearing a cotton-padded jacket walked over from nowhere and looked over with an inspection-like gaze.
"It seems that the medicine the village chief gave us is quite effective?"
It's more than good.
To be able to save a person from hell is enough to be called a miracle!
In the wasteland, humans are extremely tolerant of medical treatment.
It is not necessary to be able to be treated exactly the same as before, as long as you can survive, it is already a rare good thing.
The 'red potion' that was distributed collectively before, Huang Xiong only vaguely said that it could be used in any critical moment, but he did not expect it to be so strong.
Feeling a little bit at a loss?
The distressed Xia Zuo's eyes drifted to A Yan's face, and he said unwillingly: "Boy, you owe me a bottle of red potion. The village will give it to you by then, and you have to compensate me. That’s it.”
Red potion?
Village?
Ayan's already confused head felt a twinge of pain as he thought about it.
But the familiar language of Blue Star and the breath that hit his face made him choke.
“I, I, I.”
“Okay, okay, you’re not dead, you’re living well now.”
I know what this guy is going to say. , Xia Zuo quickly interrupted his stammering and continued:
"Let me introduce you. The place you are currently in is the Qinggang distribution point in the Desolate Bone Village. We have brought you back from there. Oh, I have to say. You are such a brave boy. You actually dare to exchange injuries for injuries. Fight that hyena.”
“No need to thank me, there is a price to pay for saving you. You will understand when you get to the village.”
“Besides, it’s up to you. On the premise that he also has an oriental face.”
Xia Zuo didn’t say much about Ayan.
It’s still open to question whether the opponent’s left leg can be saved. Can Osmond agree to bring a disabled person back?
There was some confusion in his mind. After comforting Ayan twice, he walked to the fire not far away.
Here he eats a lot of food.
Including Trek, there are only five people.
The situation is a bit bad.
Ayan is not the unluckiest person in the ten-person team.
Just after he was left behind, the remaining nine people were attacked again.
And it was a sudden attack by six mutated poisonous lizards, and two people were seriously injured on the spot.
While running away, the remaining seven people accidentally entered a mutant spider lair.
He hurriedly abandoned the two corpses and finally reached the distribution point with difficulty.
Hearing what happened to these people, Xia Zuo and Ram broke into cold sweats on the spot.
It is said that when they originally chose this place to be a distribution point, they also specially checked the surrounding environment.
After ensuring that no radiation beasts took root, the map that was given to Adolf was finally produced.
Didn’t you expect that the surrounding area is so dangerous?
When I think of letting Trek take me on this road again, I see the dangers from a distance.
Xia Zuo decided on the spot.
After taking these people back, you must apply for force protection with Osmond. It doesn't want to become the food of those radioactive beasts.
"Sir, how far is our village from here?"
Eating the toasted buns provided by the other party, Trek asked vaguely.
It was awesome.
Even when the team suffered heavy casualties, he thought that this trip would definitely end in failure.
This road map is just a trap set by that damn Adolf, deliberately letting them step into the lair of the radiation beast.
Unexpectedly, this distribution point actually exists, and a delicious meal is provided for free.
Although I have never eaten this special pastry, the taste is undoubtedly the so-called "relief meal".
If the other village provided such food every day, it would be a hundred times better than Qinggang New City.
No, ten thousand times better!
"Just to the west, to the west, further west outside the city, I will take you there tomorrow."
Xia Zuo himself didn't know how far exactly it was.
But walking there in one day is definitely enough.
"Then can we eat food like this every day from now on?"
"Yes, as long as you complete your work, you can eat whatever you want."
"Really?"
"Why did I lie to you?" Xia Zuo waved his hand impatiently.
Look.
These wanderers are like starving ghosts.
He looked like he had never seen the world before.
There is no need to go to Hope Village, there is only a Bone Village, I am afraid these people will be scared to death!
However, he forgot how shocked he was when he arrived in the territory.
Maybe people are like this and don’t realize how precious everything they have right now is real-time.
It will not be until years later that I recall this night again, and then I will remember the joy of surviving the disaster.
Only can I say something with emotion.
Fortunately, although the world is still terrible, I survived!
February 5th of the second year of the last calendar year.
There are only twelve days left until the end of the Metal Sigh disaster.
Having just finished breakfast early in the morning, Sumo was excited to go to the research institute to see if Lu Kuan had learned how to use the industrial core to extract the materials needed to manufacture nuclear power plants.
But what is surprising is that the second invitation letter from Pingtan Shelter has been sent.
And this time it wasn't just a written invitation, even Liu Lu was sent over by Liehu.
"Dear Mr. Tianyuan Manager, Mr. Pingtan solemnly invites you to visit the interior of the shelter!"
In the manager's office.
Standing in front of Sumo, Liu Lu's face was full of respect, much more respectful than when he faced Yehu.
He knew very well that it was the man in front of him who changed the situation in the western suburbs.
In a sense, it even changed the brutal hunting tiger and the stubborn Jin Guqiao.
The chief and deputy managers of Pingtan Shelter finally gained a rare glimmer of reason from a willful dictator. "Just visiting?"
Su Mo sat on the chair and glanced at the invitation letter Liu Lu handed over in surprise.
Compared with the previous one, this one was more rigorously worded, but it was obviously not written by Yehu himself.
"As far as I know, Yehu should want to achieve a deeper cooperation with you."
Liu Lu behaved very naturally in the transition from Master Pingtan to Yehu.
Extraordinary understanding of who he really needs to be loyal to.
“According to the recent plan, we should build a road directly from Pingtan to Tianyuan.”
“Build a road?”
After Sumo repeated these two words, a large map looking down from a high altitude flashed in his mind.
Starting from the underground city to the west of Qinggang City, a complete line of cement and soil has been built.
The starting point is at Hope Village and the end point is at the warning wall.
After leaving the warning wall, there is a wilderness of nearly ten kilometers.
There are many randomly generated ruins scattered in this area, and many radioactive beasts are hiding in them for food.
In the past, when going to Pingtan Refuge to trade supplies, border guards protected the caravans.
Road construction
If a cement road can be built from the warning wall to the flat beach, and the surrounding threats can be cleared.
Maybe in the future, even ordinary villagers can go to the city?
Seeing that Sumo was silent and lowered his head in thought, Liu Lu continued.
"Although Yehu has not explained the next development plan of the refuge to anyone, he probably wants to follow the example of the Horsens Refuge and build a new flat beach refuge outside the city, perhaps just like the Horsens Refuge. Just like a village."
"The limitations of development in the city are too great. Rebuilding the area in the western suburbs is simply not something that the Pingtan Shelter Family can do."
Speaking of these speculations. At that time, Liu Lu's face was filled with calmness, but his heart was extremely bitter.
It is said that when Yehu first started to tidy up the ground, he was still ambitious to imitate Tianyuan Sanctuary and build the western suburbs into his independent kingdom.
However, without mechanical assistance, it is simply too difficult for the residents of the shelter to use their hands.
Especially with the recent arrival of winter, work efficiency has further declined.
Yesterday, he asked Jin Guqiao to do some statistics and found that in less than three months, all kinds of materials in the shelter had been reduced by more than 20%.
And this is just a prototype built above the Pingtan shelter.
If you include the reconstruction of the entire western suburbs
After settling this account, Yehu has faintly extinguished the idea of 'playing' alone, and plans to start a new business directly behind the security wall.
Before the supplies in the shelter are no longer consumed, completely shift the strategy to another mature direction.
Don’t seek success, but seek undefeated!
“I’m surprised that Yehu would think this way, but it’s definitely impossible to build roads when winter comes recently. It’s difficult for cement to solidify at low temperatures, and its strength will also decrease. Wait until spring to find a way to repair it. This way, and we have to clear the ruins next to it in advance."
After thinking about it, Sumo did not refuse this time, stood up and held the invitation in his chest.
“Let’s go, I happen to be free right now, so I might as well go take a look inside the Pingtan Shelter.”
We are all allies, so we can't let this guy, Hunter Tiger, swing back and forth by himself.
Abandon rebuilding the western suburbs?
Speaking of which, Sumo has no idea of rebuilding this dilapidated Qingang City.
But this area in the western suburbs is actually quite valuable.
Especially in the area outside the Fifth Ring Road, the damage in the war was very small, all caused by the ravages of time.
Now Tianyuan Territory does not seem to have any contact with this place.
But what about the future?
If the territory continues to expand, transactions with shelters in the city will become more frequent.
Sooner or later, this area in the western suburbs needs to be used as a bridgehead to buffer risks.
How about mobilizing forces together to rebuild the western suburbs?
Sumo's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary.
It will definitely not work to allow more Blue Star people to build villages one by one in the territory in the future. It is easy for wanderers of a certain culture to gather too many and form different cultures, making it difficult to manage later. .
But if we independently plan a place belonging to the Blue Star people.
It's like here in the western suburbs.
A unified concept is created here in advance, and then people are continuously integrated into it.
Wouldn't this be a better way?
When he came, Liu Lu was still vigilant all the way to the warning wall, and then took the lizard car over.
It took a lot of time.
When he went back, Sumo simply drove the motorcycle airship and took him to the warning wall quickly.
Currently the infrastructure work at the outpost has been stopped.
Before winter is completely over, only buildings will be transported here, and no new projects will be started.
But even so, there are still many people staying here.
Most of them are people sent by other shelters in the city to discuss cooperation.
After seeing that Tianyuan Sanctuary had the strength to fight against the powerful Qinggang Sanctuary, these wallflowers immediately forgot all about the previous unpleasantness and wished they could immediately join the Western Suburbs Alliance to enjoy protection and trade.
Including those shelters in the southern suburbs that tried to cooperate but ultimately gave up.
"Aren't you going to meet them?"
"No need, they're just a bunch of wallflowers, no, they should be said to be a bunch of candies that can't be driven away."
Driving an airship Passing over the security wall, Somo looked back.
Many people came out of the house and watched the airship go away with admiration.
Being able to place these guys in an outpost so that they don't freeze to death in the wilderness is an act of kindness.
cooperate?
Will tiger and rabbit cooperate?
I’m afraid these guys haven’t figured out the situation yet.
The Tianyuan Territory is no longer the ‘primitive’ territory of the past, it now represents the Western Suburbs Alliance.
A group of shelter residents may not have as many alliance troops as they do, but they still want to cooperate on an equal footing.
Even if he agrees.
Will Yehu agree? Will Aldrich say yes?
I'm afraid even Kevin won't want this group of fools to enter the league and cause trouble.
"Then let them wait like this?"
Liu Lu rarely asked a few more questions.
Compared with the simple-minded Yehu, he always felt that the leader of the Western Suburbs Alliance was as deep and unpredictable as the ocean.
"Let's wait for now, wait until this winter comes completely, or say"
His eyes drifted across Liu Lu's face, and Sumo suddenly chuckled:
"Wait until the starch machine, protein machine and all those machines are broken."
"What?"
Liu Lu exclaimed, obviously frightened.
The starch machine is broken?
Hey guys, this is a devastating blow to the underground shelter!
The shelter in the city is not like the Tianyuan shelter on the plains, where you can find a complete piece of land for farming.
With building ruins everywhere, once these machines break down, a food crisis will come soon.
At that time, I am afraid that Qinggang Shelter will be seriously affected.
