Chapter 1046: First Visit to the Bunker, the Needs of War and Peace!

It is unrealistic to expect a group of wanderers who have been trained for three months to attack the shelter of the mole man.

It is even difficult to expect them to cause some trouble to the mole man.

However, the intention of the Qinggang Shelter to send out the wanderer army is very simple.

They need this kind of "mosquito" harassment to keep the psychological pressure of the shelter managers in a state of high pressure.

According to past experience, this group of people will definitely explode after a short time.

It may start from a micro-shelter, or it may be that a large shelter chooses to surrender.

As long as there is a gap, the seemingly united Nanjiao Alliance will immediately fall apart.

This is an old tradition of the mole man.

In the past hundreds of years, the alliance has never been separated and reunited for more than 30 years.

Even if there is no external conflict, there will be internal fights because of various unfair distribution of interests.

Xia Zuo, who led people to the mission point, obviously knew the mission of everyone. Although he urged the others in the team to speed up, he was not in a hurry to go to the destination in a straight line along the way.

The location of the ‘Garden Flower Shelter’ is at the outermost edge of the entire southern suburbs, and can almost be considered in the wilderness.

The reason for this name is that there is a large park above the pre-war shelter, where a large number of garden flowers are planted.

Xia Zuo thought he was lucky to be selected as the mission point here.

But in fact, Edmund had sent people to regularize the combat effectiveness of each team and formed 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.

However, even if he knew that his team was the so-called "garbage", Xia Zuo would probably not care.

"Boss, do you think we really want to set a fire there?" The deputy captain, who had a large tattoo on his bare shoulders, said excitedly, rubbing the uneven parts of the gun with his index finger repeatedly.

"Of course, we want the whole southern suburbs to see this fire!"

If it was foggy a few days ago, the wet garden flowers might not be easy to ignite.

But the sky had cleared up, and the humidity was fading rapidly. The flowers and plants exposed to the sun would become good tinder.

After the fire was set, Xia Zuo was fully convinced that the other party would come out and fight back in anger.

At that time, he had already taken people to the tavern in the Pumpkin Kfu bunker to drink.

"Before, we were wanderers, and the bunker was still allowed to enter. But now we have become legitimate soldiers of Qinggang, what should we do if they don't let us in?"

The deputy captain asked stupidly again, as if he had devoted all his brains to his muscles.

"Are you stupid? If we take off our clothes and hide our weapons, who would know that we are soldiers of the Wanderer Corps?"

"Besides, the shelter of the Southern Suburbs Alliance dared to resist because they were underground. This bunker is on the ground. If they still dare to attack us, it would be a provocation to the Qinggang shelter."

"Do they dare?"

For the trick of "the fox borrows the tiger's power", the wanderers have already used it as skillfully as ever.

Xia Zuo smiled obscurely, patted the deputy captain on the shoulder, and said again earnestly:

"Blake, you don't really plan to work hard in the Rangers for the rest of your life, do you?"

"Ah?"

Blake, with a devil horn tattooed on his shoulder, was stunned and touched the back of his head honestly.

He was the second recruit of the team, but Xia Zuo did not choose an Oriental man of the same skin color as the deputy captain, but chose him.

"Do we have other places to go?"

"Of course, we are free, no one can restrict us, not even the Qinggang Shelter."

"Give up the idea of ​​becoming a mole man, the world has changed, and the past rules are not applicable in the new world."

Looking into the distance.

For the first time, Xia Zuo felt that his IQ was suppressed.

Look, how long has it been since he came to this strange world, and such earth-shaking changes have taken place in the city.

Is it possible to expect things to calm down later?

Tired of this endless war, Xia Zuo wanted to take a step to see other parts of the world rather 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 and long-lasting green ale in your life.

"Okay, call the brothers to prepare for the battle."

"Follow me, you will definitely find your true talent in the future."

Large patches of ground pitcher grass have appeared in the field of vision, and he bent down to test the dryness of the grass leaves.

Xia Zuo raised his body with satisfaction and instructed Blake.

Pumpkin Kefu Bunker.

The wall built by concrete spraying looks decent, enclosing about 500 acres of land in the middle.

Behind the wall, there are many rockery landscapes, sloppy pastures, and fruit forests dotted with red and blue. The half-opened land was not included and fell alone in the wilderness.

The buildings within the wall are of different styles, and there are about 6,000 people living there, most of whom are slaves bought by the bunker owner, and some are wanderers who escaped from the city.

There is no hierarchy like in ordinary gathering places, nor is there a specific and strict management system.

In addition to the owner of the bunker, there is only a competent old housekeeper and a small team of less than 30 guards responsible for maintaining order.

It sounds a bit strange, but it is actually very reasonable.

After all, no bold invaders dare to harass the bunker built near the holy city. The college's legion will attack with thunder at any time, and the trinity will strike the invaders.

Recruiting more guards will only make management more troublesome. Catalina likes to be lazy, so most things are as simple as possible.

If the shelters in the city are the extreme products caused by the war, then this bunker looks more like another extreme where the survivors of the safe world gather.

Because most of them are slaves, the people here are born very tragically.

Either they are poor people who have no parents since childhood, grew up in garbage dumps, and choose to sell themselves.

Or they are unlucky people who failed in business, owed a large debt and could not pay it back, and were eventually beaten into slaves.

There are also some who suddenly encountered a local war, unfortunately became prisoners, and finally became slaves.

Almost everyone's story is different, but if you tell it, you can definitely tell it from dawn to dusk.

It's still for the sake of "simplicity".

Catalina's criteria for selecting slaves are also very simple, but those with blood on their hands are not wanted.

Those who have no skills and cannot support themselves are also eliminated in the first wave.

Those who can stay are basically ordinary people with clean backgrounds and skills to support themselves.

These people are very satisfied with the life in the bunker. They take care of the master's industry wholeheartedly without any complaints.

Even if they have traveled to this strange world now, not many people choose to leave.

Of course, they can't leave.

Even if they bring supplies and weapons to the wilderness, it is impossible to completely change their fate.

What can you get by becoming a free person?

Those wanderers in the bunker shout for freedom every day, but when they are hungry, they still have to beg for a bite of food in a humble manner.

They don't care about those dirty jobs at all. They work hard without any complaints, but in the end they only get a meager salary.

Seeing the miserable experiences of these people, the slaves panicked even more, fearing that they would live such a life in the future.

When they heard the captain of the guard come back to inform everyone that the bunker had won the support of the South Suburbs Alliance.

Soon, the envoy from the Tianyuan Shelter will come to the bunker for inspection.

Almost everyone chose to take a shower, put on the latest clothes in the closet, and greet the envoy with the best appearance.

In order to be more in line with the other party's speaking habits, the captain of the guard even opened a small class in the small square in the middle of the wall.

"Unlike the moles in the city, the Tianyuan Shelter is a beautiful gathering place, just like us."

"All their buildings are built on the ground, unlike the despicable moles who only know how to hide under the surface and never see the sun all day long."

"They have large tracts of cultivated farmland, planted with green crops. How should I put it? Even when the land behind us is at its most lush, it is only about the level I have seen before."

"In addition, they have delicious food. The butler there arranged a hearty lunch for me. I guarantee that I have never eaten such sweet corn porridge in my life. It's like the sun is sprinkled in the bowl!"

Hearing the captain of the guard's passionate speech, there was a whisper around.

Especially the cooks in the bunker who were responsible for the food, their faces showed either excitement or eagerness to try.

The most important criterion for observing whether a gathering place is civilized and developed is the level of food.

The food made from starch, synthetic vegetables, and synthetic meat produced by machines is the lowest standard.

No matter how it is processed, it tastes like chewing a "screw" and always has an industrial taste.

Going up there, there are planting areas, where staple food can be replaced with fresh crops, and the grade is slightly higher.

In the Holy City, such agricultural products can be sold at a high price in exchange for large quantities of useful industrial materials.

Even territories hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from the Holy City often drive trucks to sell.

As for going up,

it is the pursuit of the taste of food.

Only the rich care whether the food on the table is delicious and whether it can provide additional spiritual enjoyment.

It seems that the development of the Tianyuan Shelter is not bad?

But some people showed worried expressions on their faces, most of whom were townspeople who had stores in the bunker.

Unlike those who worked hard, they were not bought by Catalina, but craftsmen who chose to open businesses here.

It was only because of this sudden change that they were temporarily left in the bunker.

If the Tianyuan Shelter extends its development tentacles here, their products will inevitably be impacted.

So that after losing their business, they may have to work like those slaves.

A middle-aged man who owns a "machine repair shop" in the bunker frowned at the captain of the guard and asked:

"Captain Nat, they can come to our bunker, can we go to their shelter?"

A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live.

Instead of passively waiting for the business to be taken away, it is better to go to the other party's territory for actual research.

If the strength of the other party's shelter will really impact your own industry, it is better to make plans early.

"Not for the time being, well, you can't go for the time being."

Nat coughed lightly, and seeing the commotion below, he quickly explained: "It's not that they don't allow us to enter, but the straight-line distance between the two sides exceeds 200 kilometers. There are many dangers in between, and even our guards have to be very careful to pass through. 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."

"Or you can hire those wanderers as bodyguards and see if they will escort you there?"

When the danger was mentioned, some people who had complaints immediately shut up.

At this time, a wanderer came out from nowhere, licked his face and asked:

"Can we go there too?"

Nat was stunned and asked back.

"Why not?"

In his impression, the guard who took him to visit the fifth floor area'Wild Bone Village' seemed to have said that there were some homeless wanderers in the city who were taken in and built a gathering place.

Since they would take them in, the managers of Tianyuan Shelter should not hate wanderers, right?

When the crowd heard that the Western Suburbs Alliance actually had a camp of wanderers, several listless wanderers suddenly became interested and their eyes lit up.

The residents in the bunker also smelled the smell of "opportunity" and swarmed away, running back home to prepare.

Well, it's definitely not that the bunker is not safe at all.

They want to see what the sweet corn porridge in Nat's mouth tastes like.

After a whole foggy day, everyone is about to mold.

The bunker has abandoned farmland, pastures, and orchards. Apart from basic work, there is almost no place for them to play.

Even if they go to the other party's shelter to clean the toilet, as long as they can eat delicious food and live a stable life, it is not a bad thing!

Of course, they don't know that.

At this time, the two scavenger teams preparing to set off for the bunker also prepared their gear and were equally excited.

"Have you all heard clearly? When facing the natives, we must not reveal any information about the game, disasters, routes, etc. Otherwise, we will be disqualified as players if we do so too many times."

At the warning wall of the territory, Feng Tianmin approached the scavenging team and warned again.

"Understood."

"Received."

The captain of the first team is the male gun brother, and the members are the old Taoist, the dreamer, and the newly joined bandit and two twos make four.

The captain of the second team is the nuclear rifle, and the members are the owner of the firepower weapon store 'Youyou Firepower King', the 'old electrician' of the grocery repair shop, 'You Jiali No One' from the recycling station, and 'Want to Eat Candy' from the handicraft store.

Initially, it was planned to send two scavenger teams over.

But before leaving, these shop owners came to them one after another and proposed the idea of ​​​​going to investigate the market.

Su Mo thought about it and simply agreed to it and sent the nuclear rifle for protection.

After all, the other two companies in the Western Suburbs Alliance are not short of basic goods, and there is no trade demand except food.

But this Pumpkink Bunker is different. I heard it's hard to find a suitable weapon there.

If we can open up the market while the metal aging disaster is happening, we can make a lot of money!
