Chapter 1110 The Second Invitation Letter, Visit Pingtan!
Bizarre phantoms flashed, as if a ball of fire was burning beside him.
The endless icy rain hit him, and it seemed as if he had come to a cold hell.
Ah Yan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly shivered and suddenly opened his eyes to look around.
A weak feeling came over him, making him unable to muster any strength all over his body.
Especially his lower body, which was numb as if it was gone, and only his eyelids could be controlled.
Am I dead?
The new and strange feeling that he had never experienced before made Ah Yan breathe a sigh of relief, as if death was not a big deal?
In addition to being unable to move, he could still think and was very warm.
There was even a fragrance
Wait, fragrance?
The gradually recovered hearing and smell brought more information.
It seemed that someone was smacking his lips to eat something, and he could tell by the sound without looking. That thing should be very delicious.
"Hey, Lao Xia, he seems to have woken up!"
The voice sounded beside him, followed by a sound of footsteps.
A man in a cotton-padded jacket came over from nowhere and looked at us with a look of inspection.
"It seems that the medicine the village chief gave us is quite effective?"
More than quite effective.
It is a miracle to save a person from the gates of hell!
In the wasteland, humans are extremely tolerant of medical treatment.
It is not necessary to treat the patient exactly the same as before, as long as he does not die, it is a rare good thing.
The "red potion" that was collectively distributed before, Huang Xiong only vaguely said that it can 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. When the village gives it to you, you have to compensate me."
Red potion?
Village?
A Yan's confused head was tingling as he thought.
But the familiar Blue Star language and the breath that came to his face made him choke.
"I, I, I."
"Okay, okay, you're not dead, you're alive and well now."
Knowing what this guy was going to say, Xia Zuo quickly interrupted his stuttering and continued:
"Let me introduce you. You are now at the Qinggang distribution point in Huanggu Village. We have brought you back from there. Wow, I have to say that you are really a daring kid. You dare to fight with that hyena at the cost of exchanging injuries."
"Don't thank me. Saving you has a price. You will understand when you go to the village."
"In addition, this is based on the premise that you also have an oriental face."
Xia Zuo didn't say much about Ayan.
It's still unclear whether the other party's left leg can be saved. Will Osmond agree to bring a disabled person back?
With a little confusion in his mind, after comforting Ayan twice, he walked to the fire not far away.
Eating food here.
Including Trick, there are only five people.
The situation is a bit bad.
Ayan is not the most unlucky in the team of ten.
Just after he was left behind, the remaining nine people were attacked again.
And it was a sudden attack by six mutant poisonous lizards, and two people were seriously injured on the spot.
The remaining seven people accidentally entered a mutant spider nest while running away.
They hurriedly left two bodies behind and finally arrived at the distribution point with difficulty.
Hearing about the experience of these people, Xia Zuo and Ram were scared to death on the spot.
When they chose this place as the distribution point, they also specially checked the surrounding environment.
After ensuring that no radioactive beasts took root, they finally made the map given to Adolf.
I didn't expect that the surrounding area was so dangerous?
When I thought about letting Trek take me to walk this road again, I saw the dangers from afar.
Xia Zuo decided on the spot.
After taking these people back, I must apply for armed protection from Osmond. It doesn't want to become the rations of those radioactive beasts.
"Sir, how far is our village from here?"
While eating the toasted buns provided by the other party, Trek asked vaguely.
It was really great.
When the team suffered heavy casualties, he thought that this trip would definitely end in failure.
This route map was just a trap set by the damn Adolf, deliberately letting them step into the lair of the radiation beast.
Unexpectedly, this gathering point really existed, and a delicious meal was provided for free.
Although I have never eaten this special pastry, the taste is undoubtedly the so-called "relief meal" of the explosion.
If the other party's village provides such food every day, it is simply a hundred times better than Qinggang New City.
No, it is ten thousand times better!
"It's just to the west, west, and further west outside the city. I will take you there tomorrow."
Xia Zuo himself didn't know how far it was.
But one day's walk would definitely be enough.
"Then can we eat such food every day in the future?"
"Yes, as long as you complete the work, you can eat as much food as you want."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Xia Zuo waved his hand impatiently.
Look.
These wanderers are like starving ghosts.
They look like they have never seen the world.
There is no need to go to Hope Village, just the Desolate Bone Village, I am afraid these people will be scared to death!
However, he forgot how shocked he was when he first arrived in the territory.
Maybe people are like this and don't realize how precious everything they have right now is real-time.
It is not until years later that I recall this night again that I will remember the joy of surviving the disaster.
Only then 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 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 had 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 transformed from a willful dictator into a rare sliver of reason.
"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, it should be Yehu who wants to achieve deeper cooperation with you."
Liu Lu behaved very naturally in his transformation from Master Pingtan to Hunter Tiger.
He knows very well who he really needs to be loyal to.
"According to the latest plan, we should build a road directly from Pingtan to Tianyuan."
"Building roads?"
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 there are also many radioactive beasts hiding in them to look for food.
In the past, border guards protected caravans going to Pingtan Refuge to trade supplies.
build roads
If a cement road could be built from the warning wall to the flat beach, and the surrounding threats cleared.
Maybe in the future, even ordinary villagers can go to the city?
Seeing that Sumo didn't speak and lowered his head in deep 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. Like a village”
"The limitations of development in the city are too great. Rebuilding that area in the western suburbs is simply not something that the Pingtan Shelter Group can do."
When talking about these speculations, Liu Lu's face was filled with calmness, but his heart was extremely bitter.
It is said that when Liehu 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, the various supplies in the shelter had been reduced by more than 20%.
And this is just a prototype built above the Pingtan shelter.
If we include the reconstruction of the entire western suburbs
After settling the account, Yehu had faintly given up on the idea of 'playing' alone, and planned 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 a road when winter comes recently. It's difficult for cement to solidify at low temperatures, and its strength will also decrease. Let's wait until spring to find a way to build this road, and We have to clean up the ruins next to it in advance.”
After thinking about it, Sumo didn't refuse this time. He stood up and put the invitation letter in his chest.
"Let's go, I'm free now, so I might as well go see the inside of Pingtan Shelter."
We are all allies, so we can't let this guy Hunter Tiger swing back and forth by himself.
Give up rebuilding the western suburbs?
Speaking of which, Sumo had no idea of rebuilding this dilapidated Qingang City.
But this area in the western suburbs is actually quite valuable.
Especially the area outside the Fifth Ring Road suffered very little damage during the war, which was 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, the western suburbs will need 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.
In the future, it will definitely not work to allow more Blue Star people to build villages one after another in the territory. 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 that belongs to the Blue Star people.
Just like here in the western suburbs.
Here we can create a unified concept in advance, and then continue to integrate people into it.
Isn't this a better way?
When Liu Lu came here, he was still vigilant all the way to the warning wall, and then took the lizard car to come here.
It took a lot of time.
When he went back, Su Mo simply drove a motor airship and took him to the warning wall quickly.
At present, the infrastructure work of the outpost has been stopped.
Before the 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 Shelter actually has the strength to fight against the powerful Qinggang Shelter, these fence-sitters immediately forgot the previous unpleasantness and wished to join the Western Suburbs Alliance immediately to enjoy protection and trade.
Including the shelters in the southern suburbs that tried to cooperate before but eventually gave up.
"Aren't you going to meet them?"
"No need, they are just a bunch of fence-sitters, no, they are just a bunch of sticky people who can't be driven away."
Driving the airship over the guard wall, Su Mo looked back.
Many people came out of their houses and watched the airship go away with admiration.
It is already a great kindness to be able to place these guys in the outpost so that they don't freeze to death in the wilderness.
Cooperation?
Will there be cooperation between tigers and rabbits?
These guys probably haven't figured out the situation yet.
Tianyuan Territory is no longer the "primitive" territory of the past. Now it represents the Western Suburbs Alliance.
A group of refuge residents may not have as many troops as the Alliance, but they are still thinking about equal cooperation.
Even if he agrees.
Will Hunter Tiger agree? Will Aldridge agree?
I'm afraid even Kevin would not want this group of scumbags to enter the Alliance to mess around.
"Then let them wait like this?"
Liu Lu asked a few more questions rarely.
Compared with the simple-minded Hunter Tiger, he always felt that the mind of the leader of the Western Suburbs Alliance was as deep as the sea and unpredictable.
"Wait first, wait until this winter comes completely, or..."
His eyes drifted across Liu Lu's face, and Su Mo suddenly chuckled:
"Wait until the starch machine, protein machine and other machines are all broken."
"What?"
Liu Lu exclaimed, obviously scared.
The starch machine is broken?
Good guy, 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 to cultivate.
With the ruins of buildings everywhere, once these machines break down, the food crisis will come immediately.
And at that time, I am afraid that the Qinggang shelter will be seriously affected.
