Chapter 1188 Changes in the Western Suburbs, the Majestic Tianyuan!
After registering the information with great difficulty and saving an attachment to hand over to the shelter manager, Roman's slightly dark face was still flushed with excitement.
Everyone present could understand his excitement.
For the shelters in the city now, the significance of Tianyuan Shelter is actually equivalent to the former Foundation merchant ship, which is the only reliance for everyone in this city to live and survive.
Even though it is undeniable that the goods produced by the Foundation are much better than those of Tianyuan Shelter, and there are many more categories.
But is there any choice now?
This is the only choice, and it is also the choice they must believe in.
"Captain Manderlay, you are such a good person."
"Thank you so much, Yin's Shelter will always remember your help!"
After being sent to the outside of the checkpoint by Manderlay, Roman continued to say thank you, without any resentment for being roughly tied up and pressed to the ground.
"Ha, didn't I say it?"
"This is not my help, you deserve it."
Mandalay shook his head and could not accept this gratitude calmly.
In fact, the other party sent the four people of the Fan family to the checkpoint here, which actually brought him an opportunity.
Think about it from another angle. If the other party sent them to other checkpoints, wouldn’t someone else be happy now?
“I understand, I understand, but thank you and the Alliance!”
“Go, go, go, go back quickly.”
Waving his hand to send Roman away.
Looking at the pickup truck leaving, Mandler’s eyes were full of emotion.
The establishment of order is not something that can be formed overnight.
Once upon a time, he was also Roman, and he had to bow and scrape in front of the powerful shelter.
But now, the Giant City Shelter has joined the Alliance, and he has become a soldier of the Alliance.
The person has not changed, the strength has not changed, but the platform has changed.
The status has changed dramatically.
And if he does not realize who gave all this.
In the next possible promotion, he may choose some more leisurely and more lucrative positions.
But now
"Alliance Tianyuan Shelter!"
Looking at the west of the city, Mandalay's eyes were slightly obsessed.
On the other side, the convoy that continued to pass the fifth ring also went down from the high ring to the main road.
It was different from the ruins and mutant plants everywhere before.
Since the weirdo Hunter led people to build a wave of infrastructure, the sudden drop in temperature in winter destroyed the environment for the growth of plants, and now the western suburbs finally look normal.
The building ruins that were once piled up on both sides of the road have now been brought back to the shelter in batches by the Tianyuan scavenging team, and have been processed into excellent infrastructure materials.
The bumpy main road has also been filled with soil and auxiliary materials, and there are no scary big potholes, allowing vehicles to drive on it unimpeded.
The buildings on both sides of the road are different.
Compared with the monotonous high-rise buildings in the city center, the architectural style of the western suburbs is extremely rich.
There are small western-style buildings with four or five floors that look like they are dying, and there are also complete bungalows with only the first floor facade left.
There are some stand-alone cubic factory buildings, as well as the iconic Triumph Twin Towers.
Previously, because the alliance had not yet completely included the Western Suburbs in its rule, the scavengers came here to explore during the day and had to go back quickly when it was getting dark to prevent danger.
Now, as the Western Suburbs further improves its defense line and pulls this building complex into the protection range.
Tianyuan Territory has also issued different policies accordingly, further clarifying the scope of activities of the scavengers.
First, it is the right to develop and the right to stay overnight.
These ownerless buildings, as long as they pass the approval, large and small scavenger teams can transform them into temporary stations in Qinggang City for transit and rest during daily exploration.
Even if the transformation can pass the review, they can also have the right to stay overnight.
Secondly, it is the clarification of the "three guarantees for stationing" policy.
If each team wants to turn a temporary station into a long-term station or a permanent station, they must actively cooperate and participate in the reconstruction of the Western Suburbs.
Starting from the station itself, to the neighborhoods near the station, and the surrounding environment of the station.
There is a clear contribution value to measure the contribution of each scavenger team. Different treatments can be unlocked when the specified value is reached.
At this time, it was close to noon. There were many scavenger teams active near the western suburbs, and some old residents in the territory stayed here to do business.
Or pull up a big pot to cook at the door, or set up a small stall to trade items, or provide various unique services.
There was a lot of traffic, at least hundreds of people at first glance.
Most of them were residents from Pingtan and Jucheng.
For these people, although residents in the alliance can apply to go behind the warning wall, or to the outpost base, or to the Hope Village further behind, as many times as they want.
But every time they go there, the fare and customs clearance fee are real.
One round trip costs five iron coins, plus one iron coin for the warning wall clearance fee.
A full six iron coins.
This is enough for them to eat and drink in the small market in the western suburbs.
After much deliberation, most people, after seeing the world behind the warning wall, finally turned their attention back to the small temporary market in the western suburbs.
“It’s so lively!”
Fan Jing and Fan Han lay by the window of the command vehicle, looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going in the market in the distance, and suddenly felt fascinated.
Although similar trade fairs are occasionally held in Taihu Territory, most people just go to join in the fun, and no one is willing to trade food.
But this small market is different.
The few food stalls that were set up were all full of people, and as soon as a seat was vacant, someone else would fill it.
Bowl after bowl of hot food was brought out, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.
There was also a lot of traffic in front of several small stalls nearby.
Some sold strange little gadgets, some sold handmade cold weapons.
Some sold ceramic products of various shapes, and some sold various styles of clothing.
Although most people in front of the stalls just looked, it was inevitable that the transaction volume would increase as more people came.
Under the influence of consumption, naturally some people followed the impulse consumption.
And the most surprising thing was that there were actually people from Blue Star working in this small market.
Although it was just a simple barber shop, washing the hair of the customers.
But such a degree of integration almost broke the stereotype of the Blue Star people on the world channel.
"Is this the territory?"
Fan Fuzheng was also a little shocked, looking at the scene outside the car window and was shocked.
Such a lively scene, think carefully, he has only seen it in the post station along the coastline.
However, the reason why the post station is so lively is just because of the huge flow of people.
The coming and going of people naturally drives the prosperity of trade.
Once the migration of the survivors in the deep sea ends, the post station will quickly become deserted and become like the Taihu territory.
In comparison, this small market is completely different.
There is obviously not as much traffic as the post station, but it still forms a large market.
It directly proves that the bottom of the business model here has been formed.
In other words, the people here have gotten rid of the basic survival needs and have begun to have more needs beyond survival!
"Master Fan, you are joking. How could this be a territory?"
In the spacious command vehicle, Wang Qian shook the hot water cup in his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a temporary camp set up by a group of restless little guys, doing business with ordinary people in the two shelters next to it."
"Because the infrastructure cannot be carried out in winter, they can still do this business for a while. When we build the road between the western suburbs of the city and the territory, the industry and trading center will naturally move there, and the business here will not be able to continue."
"Isn't this a territory?"
Fan Fuzheng was stunned, and immediately felt that Wang Qian's words just now contained a lot of information.
Such a lively market, even if the number of people in Taihu Territory increased tenfold, it might not be able to do it.
But in Wang Qian's eyes, it can only be regarded as a small fight?
"It's not far away. It's about ten kilometers west from this direction, and it's the border of our territory."
While speaking, Wang Qian observed the expression of Master Fan calmly.
Although he didn't see too many changes in the other person's expression, it was still not difficult to feel how surprised and shocked that obvious stiffness represented.
Obviously, this small market alone shocked him!
"More than ten kilometers away from the city center of this city, our territory is built next to the city of the Blue Star people. Aren't we worried that they will bring threats?"
After recovering from the shock, Fan Fuzheng asked the biggest doubt along the way.
Although the few Blue Star people he met along the way were extremely friendly and not hostile at all.
But based on the information collected in the past and the exchanges on the world channel.
It can't be that everyone is made up, deliberately describing the Blue Star people as so rude and fierce?
"Threat"
"What aspect does Master Fan want to know?"
"Every aspect, military threat, economic deficit, or racial conflict." Seeing that Wang Qian was willing to answer, Fan Fuzheng couldn't wait to add.
Along the way, there are too many things that subvert cognition.
Especially after getting off the high ring and arriving in the western suburbs, it feels like coming to another world.
"Actually, after we get to the territory, someone will come to introduce these things."
"But since Master Fan is interested, I'll give you a brief introduction first."
Wang Qian smiled faintly and said.
"The city we are standing on now is a Blue Star city called Qinggang City."
"Qinggang, as the name suggests, is actually a seaport city, but the sea did not follow during the crossing, so the construction of the city looks a bit strange, somewhat contrary to the construction style of inland cities."
"Now in Qinggang City, there are a total of 106 shelters of all sizes, including large shelters with a population of more than 500,000, and small shelters with a population of only a few thousand. In total, there are about 2.3 million Blue Star people living in the southern suburbs, northern suburbs, western suburbs, and eastern suburbs."
"2.3 million?!" A number that makes people a little suffocated, Fan Fuzheng's eyes widened.
The desolation along the way, he thought this city was an abandoned dead city, but he didn't expect that there were more than 2 million people in it, and there were large shelters with a population of more than 500,000?
"Yes, it looks very desolate, right? In fact, all the shelters are underground, and residents are not allowed to go out at will, which leads to the scene you see." Wang Qian took a sip of water and continued:
"In this city, the Qinggang Shelter in the northern suburbs is currently the strongest, which is the large shelter with more than 500,000 people I mentioned. They occupy the entire northern suburbs. The southern suburbs where you teleported to are ranked third in strength, but have the largest number of shelters. The second is our western suburbs, which have only two shelters belonging to the Blue Star people, and the population is about 80,000."
Fan Fuzheng looked at him in confusion and asked, "I heard them say alliance?"
"Yes, the alliance is the name of our western suburbs collective. Now the members include the Pingtan Shelter in the western suburbs, the Giant City Shelter, the Hosens Shelter in the southern suburbs, the Pumpkin Bunker, and our Tianyuan Shelter!"
In fact, the initial alliance was called the 'Western Suburbs Alliance' by everyone.
But with the later joining of Hosens, and more and more shelters in the southern suburbs applying for residence.
The West Suburb Alliance, before they knew it, only had the word "Alliance" left.
Many people even secretly added two words in front of the Alliance.
Tianyuan Alliance!
It is precisely because of the existence of the Tianyuan Shelter that the Alliance has value.
Otherwise, only Pingtan and Jucheng would be left, and no other shelters would choose to join.
"Because of the Metal Sigh disaster, the production capacity of all shelters in the city has been greatly reduced. Now we can only rely on our Tianyuan Shelter to create circulation, so even the shelters in the southern suburbs are constantly applying to join the alliance, so that all shelters can become a community to resist the next difficulties."
Because they are all players, Wang Qian did not explain why the Blue Star people's shelters lost their production capacity, while the Tianyuan Shelter was able to maintain it after the disaster.
This is the information gap given by the game, and it is also the only way to catch up with the gap between Earth players and Blue Star people.
"Then will the Qinggang Shelter look at other shelters in our alliance city?"
"Of course not." Wang Qian shook his head, and then laughed confidently: "So, the lord took action and defeated them!"
"Defeated!?"
Fan Fuzheng was stunned and didn't know how to continue.
Why not worry about threats?
Because any threats have been dealt with in advance, there is no need to worry.
This reason sounds a bit incredible, but it is also unexpectedly reasonable.
But for a territory of 500,000 people, what ability does Su Shen use?
"Wow, look over there!"
Fan Fuzheng was still thinking, but Fan Jing's surprised shout came from the command car.
He subconsciously looked up and couldn't look away.
At this time, the vehicle had driven out of the western suburbs and came to a spacious plain.
The surrounding urban buildings gradually became sparse, and the ups and downs of the ground turned into a hardened cement road.
The straight cement road continued forward, about four or five kilometers away.
A long gray dragon has appeared at the end, like a densely packed group of buildings squeezed together, with no end in sight.
"What kind of weird building system is this?"
Fan Fuzheng frowned.
Whether it is used for living or military selection, the rectangular building complex is the worst choice.
Once the enemy attacks from the beginning and the end, the defensive pressure will be much greater than that of the square and the circle.
Who made this thing? Isn't it nonsense?
Realizing that this is most likely the time for him to use his ability, Fan Fuzheng did not dare to neglect it. He immediately opened the route ability and looked over again, preparing to observe the structural stability of the building complex.
But the next second, a brilliant golden color that had never appeared before suddenly burst out in his eyes.
It was as if a huge gold brick fell on the ground, bursting with golden light.
From beginning to end, from front to back.
This winding gray suddenly turned into a seamless golden strip.
"My God!"
"Is this a city wall?!"
"No, how is this possible? How can there be a city wall with a self-contained structure!"
"This is impossible!"
