Chapter 889 What? You Said This Is a Wasteland?
"The snow here has not only melted, but the grass has also grown?"
Duan Xiong murmured, many thoughts flashing through his mind.
The current gold standard for measuring whether a territory is strong is naturally how well it handles this snow disaster.
Along the way, he only saw the snow disappearing in the territories of powerful foreign races, and the land gradually recovered.
rare.
No, except for the Tianyuan territory, no one in the human territory could handle the snow disaster properly.
Most of them hastily cleared out a piece of their only living space, anxiously preparing to deal with the next disaster.
Where can the land be treated and restored to the point where it is enough for farming like this land now?
"It seems that this trip is right!"
Duan Xiong was slightly excited, and he involuntarily lowered his right hand on his waist.
He looked far into the distance and continued to examine the scenery passing by the window.
After a while, he had a better understanding of the military aspect of Tianyuan territory.
It can't be called strong, but it shouldn't be weak either.
Whether it's a tall tower or a bunker rising from the ground.
Although when facing some special alien races, such obvious defense facilities can easily be bypassed.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, it can still act as a good deterrent to get through the most difficult days.
"The town is five kilometers ahead." Wen Da in the front row turned his head and warned.
After hearing this news, Duan Xiong quickly cheered up and looked at the direction of the vehicle at this time.
Sure enough, at the end, smoke could be seen steaming up and hovering in the low sky.
If you listen carefully, you can still vaguely hear some faint noises.
However, while Duan Xiong was still observing, the other caravan members sitting in the car were not so calm.
"Boss, those are people from the Cumulus Chamber of Commerce. Why are they here too?"
"Damn it, don't these guys only do business in the eastern area?"
"Someone actually got there before us. Is there a spy among us who spread the news?"
"Do they think they've already finished the deal? Damn it!"
On the ground not far away, a group of lizard vehicles caught everyone's attention.
After identifying clearly that the sign hanging above the first car did represent the Cumulus Chamber of Commerce.
Duan Xiong's expression changed slightly. Not only did he not feel any anger, but he felt a little uneasy.
The Cumulus Chamber of Commerce is now ranked eleventh in the New World, far beyond what a small caravan like them can do.
After being traded by such a large caravan, it is hard to say whether the other party will appreciate what they have.
With this concern, Duan Xiong was a little anxious.
But soon, as Hope Town was completely revealed in front of him, the anxiety he had not accumulated enough was suddenly relieved.
What appeared before his eyes was the imaginary village gathering place.
There are red and green prefabricated houses scattered neatly on the ground, and the gravel roads in the town with clear boundaries extend in all directions.
The tall and tall tree with lush green leaves planted inside the town is dotted in the public activity venue in the center of the town.
While other places are still starving, this town is striving for a better life!
Not only are there a large number of simple buildings that can only be seen in modern times, but there are also street lamps that appear every 20 meters in the town, as well as shops with signboards inside.
And this is not the most outrageous thing. Not far from the side of the town, there is an extremely modern building. It is four stories high, completely black, and looks very mysterious.
All of this combined formed a sharp contrast with the other human gathering places seen along the way. It did not look like a town that should appear in the wasteland at all!
The car was still moving forward and slowly drove into the slightly "shabby" wooden gate of the town.
Duan Xiong got out of the car, and the ten younger brothers who followed him also got out of the car in time. The group of people stared blankly at the inside of the town.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve walked a long way in the barren mountains and haven’t seen any human habitation for a long time.
Looking back and forth at this time, the prosperous scene in the town actually gave people a feeling of returning to modern times.
There was no trace of panic on the faces of the men and women who were carrying farm tools, holding materials, and pushing carts.
While walking back and forth, most people were talking and laughing, and their calmness gave people a sense of absurdity.
Among these aborigines, Duan Xiong also located the obvious foreign population at a glance.
"Jide Chamber of Commerce, White Moon Caravan, Misoma Chamber of Commerce"
Powerful chambers of commerce generally choose to engrav their logos on clothes to avoid unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, Duan Xiong immediately recognized three of them at a glance.
There are even more signs that he has not recognized yet, and those who are not wearing labeled clothes, plus at least four or five more.
"Shall I take you to the Ministry of Foreign Trade to sign in first?"
"We hope that the town has built a special hotel for foreigners. The first night is currently free. If you don't mind, you can take a good rest for a day and plan the transaction tomorrow."
Wen Da got out of the car and was very satisfied with the performance of Duan Xiong and others at this time.
The town that was built in advance to accommodate 10,000 people looked just silly when there were not enough people to enter.
Now that popularity has flowed, everything has changed dramatically.
Just like every caravan he had received in the past ten days, everyone who came here was shocked without exception.
Wen Da knew very well what shocked these people.
It was not civilization, nor advancement, nor rapid development.
It was order!
A kind of rule and order in the wasteland of the end of the world that was comparable to modern society.
"Then Brother Lao Wen will arrange it." Duan Xiong opened his mouth, but finally nodded with difficulty.
The group walked into the town and soon came to a two-story mobile cabin with a large area of more than 200 square meters.
He signed his name according to the staff's instructions and briefly stated the items he wanted to trade.
A light yellow trading license was produced and handed out.
At the top was a full-body photo of Duan Xiong himself, and below it were engraved the words Siping Caravan and trading deadline.
Turning to the back, there was a big Arabic numeral "1".
"What does this 1 represent?"
"Oh, this level is our Tianyuan territory's own internal division. According to the number of transactions and transaction volume of the caravan here, there will be an opportunity to re-classify or upgrade every month. The higher the level, the greater the discount in the transaction, and the more things can be traded."
"Are all caravans level one for the first time?" Duan Xiong asked.
"Yes." The staff nodded without thinking.
"Thank you"
Putting away the documents, Duan Xiong stood up silently, his mind still a little dazed.
Of course he knew what the other party's purpose was.
But it has always been their caravans who select traders, but here, they are picked and chosen by the other party, and even a hierarchy system is arranged to distinguish the treatment of different caravans.
"Could it be that in addition to food, there are other good things in Tianyuan territory that Fatty Liu didn't mention?"
With this thought in his mind, Duan Xiong decided not to make up his mind anymore, and walked out with his men directly.
Pushing the door, Wen Da, who had sent everyone here before, had disappeared, and there were no other people around to follow.
Completely different from other human territories that strictly guard against outsiders.
"Wow, this town looks really clean, much better than those pig pens I saw on the road."
"Do you smell it? I seem to smell fried chicken!"
"Fried chicken, you are crazy about meat."
"Even if there is meat, which place is willing to use oil to fry it for you now?"
"But the smell is not there, look, isn't that one frying it?"
"What, it seems to be true."
"Boss, can I apply to go over and take a look? I haven't seen any territory so open along the way."
"Fuck, there is not only fried chicken, but also a clothing store over there?"
Hearing the conversation of the team members, Duan Xiong coughed and found a fried chicken shop directly on the street.
In modern society, no one dares to say the word "healthy" about this thing.
But in the wasteland, it can be regarded as a "tonic".
Sufficient calories, fresh taste, and rich protein, even he himself was a little greedy.
"Let's go, let's go and check the price."
With Duan Xiong's nod of permission, the group went straight to the "Hope Fried Chicken Shop" which was the first in the wasteland.
When they got closer, they could see that the fried chicken shop was not large, about 30 square meters, and the hygiene was as clean and tidy as other places in the town.
The price was also clearly marked at the door. According to the kilogram, a kilogram of fried chicken costs 2 yuan points.
"Yuan points?"
Duan Xiong had long been accustomed to the fact that each territory had a different currency.
But after glancing at the explanation of yuan points under the sign, he was a little surprised.
Unlike other territories that issued currency without restrictions, issued it arbitrarily, or simply printed money out of thin air.
This Tianyuan territory was outrageous, and it actually adopted the "meat standard".
One kilogram of meat corresponds to one yuan point, and the amount of meat is equal to the amount of yuan points issued.
It is also very simple for outsiders to exchange yuan points. As long as they bring meat that can pass the inspection, they can easily complete the exchange.
So, under the guidance of the clerk, the group went around and came to another three-story mobile cabin.
Compared with the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which looked like a residential building before, this "Tianyuan Bank" was a little more solemn and solemn. There were even four strong armed guards standing guard at the door.
Entering the bank, the procedure for inspecting meat was not complicated.
After taking out a large number of bird carcasses hunted on the road to form ten kilograms, Duan Xiong thought that a lot of them would be returned.
But to his surprise, all the carcasses passed the inspection and met the collection standards.
"Mr. Duan Xiong, your ten yuan points have been temporarily deposited into the transaction license. You can use it within 30 days. You only need to show the license to deduct the consumption."
"Only 30 days? What if I want to keep it for a long time?"
"To keep it for a long time, you need to reach the third-level caravan level, or apply for a permanent residence quota in the town."
"Thank you."
Taking the license back from the window, Duan Xiong felt more and more confused about his cognition.
Who would have thought that when other places have not even restored paper money, this Tianyuan territory has already had electronic storage methods.
If this scene happened five years later, no, it happened in three years, he would accept it.
But it happened now, just over seven months later.
"Hello, I haven't had time to ask the name of the lord of our territory?"
"Mr. Duan Xiong is too polite. The lord of our territory is called Chen Shen. If you want to trade valuables, you can apply for face-to-face negotiations with the lord."
"Chen Shen"
Duan Xiong was relieved to hear that it was not the name that popped up in his mind subconsciously.
The development speed of Tianyuan territory is simply too fast. If the outside world knows about it, it will definitely cause a storm.
And if a layer of Su Shen's buff is added, I am afraid that as long as the news leaks out, countless crazy aliens will come to provoke and attack.
Now that a person whose name has never been heard of is the lord, it can make the peace of Tianyuan territory last longer.
Thinking of this, Duan Xiong did not hesitate to spend money after returning to the fried chicken shop.
He directly waved his hand and spent the ten yuan points he just got and bought ten kilograms of fried chicken.
"Eat, and work hard after eating."
Each person was given nearly a pound of fried chicken, and the team members were very satisfied. They almost bit off their lips while eating.
But none of them knew that this scene was also transmitted to another place two kilometers away from the town!
On the sofa on the third floor of the underground shelter, Su Mo stretched his body comfortably while watching more than a dozen people wolfing down food on the screen.
Since the territory finally stopped using the "Dark Forest" theory these days and began to spread the location through several channels established before, the caravans that came here finally came one after another.
These people brought a lot of good things. Even if they only traded less than one-tenth of the total amount in the end, it made him experience the joy of foresight for the first time.
Those notorious caravans had been selected by him in the ruins long ago, and they would be persuaded to return for various reasons before entering the territory.
The rest were naturally caravans that were willing to abide by the rules.
Without much military supervision, or even the need for a caretaker like now, you can explore along the planned route and finally achieve your goal.
"It's a pity that the fog disaster is coming soon. It will be difficult to guide other caravans to come except for these caravans that know the route."
Just when Su Mo felt a little sorry that there were only two days left for the disaster to stop, Pei Shao walked down the stairs connecting the second and third floors excitedly and said repeatedly.
"Director, we finally found one of the ruins you ordered us to find!"
"Found it, which one is it?"
"The one you marked with the time gear."
"Hello, adventurer, good!"
Su Mo stood up suddenly, and couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face.
Thanks to the boss Erche Ersanlan for the reward, thank you boss~
