Chapter 1074 The Fourth Ally, Something Has Changed in Qinggang!
Decisions that completely change your destiny are often not made after careful consideration.
After all, ‘complete change’ means overturning things from scratch and venturing into unknown territories.
The aversion to danger rooted in human genes will make such a decision more difficult to decide upon.
As the manager of a shelter with more than 40,000 people.
In a few moments, Kevin made a decision that almost overturned the rules of life. It would be false to say that he didn't regret it.
But when he got on the Lizard Car and returned, he felt more and more that his impulse was worth it.
No matter how credible the other person's words were, Kevin only believed what he saw in his own eyes.
Just like those old gophers in the southern suburbs, they have been chanting the slogan of returning to the ground and rebuilding Qinggang for decades.
But the actual results were not as good as the Western Suburban League, which suddenly appeared for less than one year.
"At least this fertile land, these plantations and industrial areas rising from the ground will not deceive people."
Kevin comforted himself like this, and soon saw the warning wall in the distance in the howling night wind.
Compared with when we came here, the lights are a bit brighter now.
There is also a new team under the city wall. Judging from the uniforms, they should be people from the giant city's refuge.
The Somo manager was standing in a circle with Yehu and Aldrich, not knowing what they were discussing.
When I walked in, I could vaguely see that the faces of the three of them were a little ugly.
In particular, Yehu's maroon complexion was even more intense at this time, and was vaguely turning into deep red.
"He's really looking for death. He dares to make demands from us. He really thinks we care about his shabby supplies!"
Liehu cursed angrily at the darkness behind the city wall.
"If the weapons hadn't been turned into scrap metal now, I would have brought someone with me tomorrow to let him know whether Grandpa Yehu's fist is still strong or not."
"Brother Hunting Tiger, calm down your temper. This has always been the case with stubborn old men in the southern suburbs. Otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Aldrich was open-minded, and trembled while trying to persuade him.
After speaking, he looked at Sumo who was silent and organized his words: "Brother Sumo, I don't know how we should deal with it now. Should we take the initiative or continue to wait and see what happens?"
Liehu also focused his eyes, and the two of them looked at the young man in front of them who was obviously two rounds younger than him.
There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. They still understand this truth.
Especially during this period, the cooperation between the Western Suburbs Alliance became more and more in-depth, and they gradually realized that this seemingly weakest ally was actually not that simple.
Compared with its material accumulation, population size, and weapon level.
The other party is indeed not ranked among the entire Qinggang City. At best, it can only be said that it has the ability to protect itself in the face of predators.
But in terms of development planning, development speed, and adaptability to this wasteland world.
The gopher guys may not even be able to keep up.
"It is too reckless to take the initiative, and it is too cautious to wait and see. Since those three shelters are not willing to join us and do not agree with our development concept, then just let them go. Anyway, we don't care whether the other party will Turn around and join Clearhaven Sanctuary as an enemy.”
"My opinion is still the same as before. Since they are unwilling to come out, then we will"
Before he finished speaking, there was a jingle from the lizard car in the distance.
The three people's eyes turned and happened to meet Kevin who was looking up.
Speaking of which, Horsens Shelter should be considered the friendliest of the four shelters I came to tonight.
At least for hunting tigers, that's the case.
As soon as the other managers of the shelter saw him, they couldn't hold back their sarcastic remarks.
Only Kevin, although he is a family-herited shelter manager, has a much better attitude.
In addition, the location of Horsens Refuge is pretty good, not far from the fifth ring road in the southern suburbs. It is not only on the outer edge of the southern suburbs, but can also quickly radiate to the interior.
If they can be roped into the Western Suburbs Alliance, it will surely make many southern suburbs shelters uncomfortable.
"My dear friend, Mr. Kevin Horsens, how about it? After visiting my territory, you should understand why I let you set up the sub-base on the land controlled by the alliance, right?"
As soon as I got off the car, I heard Sumo's hearty voice.
Kevin, who was still a little nervous and didn't know how to speak, felt reassured instantly and said with a calm smile:
"This place is indeed completely different from what I imagined. If I hadn't walked all the way from the southern suburbs in person, I would have thought that I had accidentally traveled to another world."
A bit exaggerated, but the exaggeration makes sense.
"How about it, boy, have you considered joining the alliance?"
Yehu came up from behind and said straight to the point: "To be honest, when you visited, three southern suburbs shelters had already chosen to give up. I don't think I would be surprised if you also chose to give up."
"give up?"
Looking at Yehu's huge figure, Kevin shook his head.
"No, I'm different from them, I choose to join!"
"And just like the Somo manager said, I will build the Horsens Refuge branch base on this land!"
surprise!
Only a little though!
Yehu's crimson complexion suddenly softened a bit, and Aldrich, who had been silent, was also a little surprised.
If joining the Western Suburbs Alliance is still within their understanding, then building a sub-base in the Tianyuan Territory, which is so far away from the shelter
Is this guy serious? !
"It seems that you are a smart person. I like to deal with smart people!"
Su Mo smiled and did not seem surprised.
In fact, when Lu Zhou took him on a tour, first-hand information came from the game channel.
When he saw that Kevin, the manager, could lie down in the plantation and study the roots and stems of plants.
Su Mo had roughly guessed the character of this new ally.
Development maniac!
He is exactly the person the alliance needs most now.
The entire Western Suburbs Alliance now has Liehu, a fighting maniac, as a facade to resist pressure.
And Aldridge, a peacemaker and fence-sitter, handles the relationship between the city and other shelters.
Choosing those who like to fight or fence-sitters is meaningless for the development and expansion of the alliance.
Of course, Su Mo would never admit that letting the other party build a sub-base in the Tianyuan Territory is to use the hands of others to help him develop his territory.
How does that saying go?
Common development, common prosperity!
As long as Kevin doesn't think about other things and focuses on developing the sub-base, Su Mo will never kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
This is a win-win situation. After all, it is a pity that such a vast land in the territory is now empty.
Especially after a visit to the Wasteland Village, Su Mo has become more determined in his thoughts.
It is not impossible to develop the territory by relying solely on Earth players, but the progress is difficult to guarantee.
After all, everyone has chosen a different route. If the signs and them are forced to join the infrastructure, it will only make the players who cannot gain experience fall behind in level, and even cause the progress in the future route competition to be far lower than other territories.
This is a version of "Ten Thousand Paths Fighting".
Su Mo always remembers that in the version preview, humans and aliens on different routes wrestled with each other.
But I have never seen an unconventional nuclear bomb fall from the sky and kill all the route players.
So instead of restricting players to develop infrastructure in the wasteland, it is better to let them upgrade their levels in their own route areas to improve the competitiveness of the territory.
The task of infrastructure construction naturally fell on the natives of Blue Star.
This is great!
Sometimes, Su Mo even thought that the game did this on purpose.
The people of Blue Star originally wanted to return to the surface from underground, and they were determined to rebuild the surface civilization.
Just like Kevin in front of him, he was the best example.
"Believe me, your choice will never disappoint the residents of the Hosens Shelter. Perhaps many years later, your name will spread throughout the wasteland, and with the help of the Alliance, you will become one of the greatest entrepreneurs, instead of living a mediocre life as the manager of a family-inherited shelter."
"They will regard the three words 'Hosens' as an existence like a company, a college, and a foundation."
It's not bad to draw a pie in the sky.
Since dealing with the people of Blue Star more, Su Mo has become more and more good at drawing pie in the sky.
These mole guys who have stayed underground for hundreds of years and still want to return to the surface and rebuild the glory of human civilization.
In his opinion, each of them can be regarded as a complete "idealist".
To put it bluntly, how can ordinary people stay in a dark and narrow place for a lifetime?
How many people can endure the threat of a nuclear bomb falling on their heads at any time and come up with the idea of rebuilding civilization?
Even the "brainy" guy, Tiger Hunter, wants to build an ideal society in the shelter.
He doesn't want any more residents to be sent to die by the managers, and no one else to sacrifice because of cowardice.
Not to mention other people.
"Can the Horsens Shelter be compared with enterprises, colleges, and foundations?"
Kevin ate the big cake with a wry smile: "Then you might as well tell me that the sub-base built by the Horsens Shelter will become a super city like the Holy City of Bokelo in the future!"
"Haha, it's not impossible."
Su Mo smiled and patted Kevin on the shoulder, resisting the urge to continue painting cakes.
Well, if you eat too much cake, you will feel full, so you should be moderate in everything.
Anyway, the other party has decided to build a sub-base in the territory, and the duck at the mouth will not fly away easily.
"Let's welcome the fourth ally of the Western Suburbs Alliance."
"Kevin Horsens, the manager of the South Suburbs Horsens Shelter!"
Su Mo turned his head and looked at Liehu and Aldridge.
Liehu clapped and laughed like an idiot, while Aldridge smiled and nodded thoughtfully.
Although he realized that with the addition of the Horsens Shelter, the equal status of the three people in the alliance seemed to have changed.
But what can we do about it?
The Western Suburbs Alliance can do without the giant city, but not without Tianyuan.
This is the natural advantage brought by the geographical location, and it is also one of the greatest powers of the underground shelter.
"Should we also build a branch base in this Tianyuan territory, otherwise more and more people will join in the future"
Aldridge paused in his heart, and an irresistible thought appeared in his mind.
But he didn't realize that Liehu, who seemed to have a "stupid" face, had already had a gleam of light in his eyes.
Time flies, and ten days have passed in a flash since the end of the second meeting of the Western Suburbs Alliance.
January 30th, Year 2 of the Wasteland Calendar.
As autumn draws to an end, the wasteland becomes increasingly desolate, and the temperature begins to drop significantly.
It is difficult to reach 30 degrees during the day, and it drops rapidly to around 10 degrees at night.
However, the temperature drop did not stop Kevin from making a decision.
After the alliance ended, he quickly returned to the shelter to carry out the mobilization plan.
This is also the biggest advantage of the family-style inheritance shelter.
One person has the final say.
None of the managers in the shelter dared to disobey Kevin's decision, and the residents would unconditionally support the managers.
The progress was very fast. In ten days, more and more infrastructure materials had been transported by lizard cars.
As the fifth village in Tianyuan Territory after "Hope Village", "Longteng Village", "Wild Bone Village" and "Fishman Village".
Kevin also followed the local customs and gave the new base a new name.
"Huo Village".
The three words Huosens were simplified, and only the first word was retained as the name.
The location was chosen not far from the Wild Bone Village in the fifth floor area, roughly located at the southern border of the territory.
In fact, Kevin originally planned to set up the village around Longteng Village, but the reason for choosing this in the end was still considering future development.
There are no other villages within 20 kilometers around, so Huo Village can use the land to build plantations at will.
But if it is built in Longteng Village, there are only a few kilometers, which is not enough!
After seeing the news notification in the channel, many players have also visited the construction of the new village around Huo Village these days.
Compared with the construction progress of Huanggu Village, the progress of these natives from Huosens Shelter is much faster.
Perhaps it is related to the education they received and the previous living environment.
These seemingly weak shelter residents can work sixteen hours a day, which is really shocking.
With their efforts, even without the assistance of mechanical tools, a large piece of land was leveled in just ten days.
Several simple wooden houses have been built for residents to keep out the cold at night.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
The soldiers responsible for border defense have changed into special autumn clothes to keep warm.
The warning wall, which is still under construction, has risen from the initial three meters to half a meter, reaching a height of three and a half meters.
Several sentry towers have also been reinforced and upgraded, and are now 15 meters high.
Standing here, you can already see the buildings on the edge of the western suburbs of Qinggang City and the center of Qinggang City shrouded in the night mist.
Suddenly, several bright lights lit up from the end of the field of vision.
"The people of Huo Village are really awesome. They have transported supplies again at night."
"I think in a few days, the title of infrastructure maniacs should fall on these people."
"Cheer up, it would be bad if it is the enemy in disguise."
"Enemy disguise? Who would turn on the flashlight a few kilometers away and tell the guards on the city wall that we are coming?"
"Not necessarily, didn't the group of wanderers in the city do this before?"
The guards joked and were used to the changes in these days.
Even the captain of the guard Lu Zhou rarely joined in and made a few jokes.
However, soon, as the guards on the sentry tower matched the frequency of the flashing light, sharp whistles and calls sounded instantly.
"Quick! Report to the territory, there is a change in Qinggang!"
