Chapter 938 Seeking the Skin of a Tiger, a Powerful Muzzle-Loading Cannon!

"What do you mean, they are willing to meet with us?"

Liu Lu shivered and quickly stood up beside the bed, a glimmer of hope rising on his decadent face.

Over the long years, Pingtan Shelter has gradually moved from a free management structure to a rigid family model.

Although the manager who founded the shelter more than two hundred years ago had already set up the continuous downward progression in advance.

One is to prevent the problem of deformed offspring due to incest marriages within the entire shelter.

The second is to prevent similar families from supporting each other and turning the shelter into a product of privatization.

But there is no way, human nature is like this.

The total population of Pingtan Shelter now totals 64,000, and they are basically related to each other.

Jin Dafa's uncle is the material manager on the B-14 floor.

If the source of supplies cannot be found as soon as possible, once this guy and his uncle ask for help, it will be too easy to support a month's worth of tasks based on the abundance of supplies on each level below.

They must collect the supplies in advance before they are ready, in order to win this cruel battle for status!

"They are willing to agree with us on a time and the location. They are more sincere than before."

"In addition, they agreed to the conditions we proposed before, but they hope"

“We can fulfill it as quickly as we can.”

"accepted?"

Liu Lu touched the back of his head blankly.

Five tons of food can not only complete the mission requirements for the next month, but even the next month is not a problem.

Where did such a group of bold and mysterious people come from in Qinggang City?

Could it be that people from other shelters want to infiltrate themselves into the Pingtan shelter?

All kinds of thoughts popped up in Liu Lu's mind, making him suddenly feel at a loss.

But no matter what, the other party has indeed agreed to fulfill the request I made, including making it clear during the meeting that it is up to me to decide the time and place.

In the post-war world, this was the utmost sincerity, almost impossible to achieve between strangers.

"Then meet them!"

Liu Lu gritted his teeth and touched the pistol hanging on his waist.

"What about what they want?" Lao Lu nodded and brought the topic back.

"Last time we went to B-5 and B-6 to steal their quota, we went to borrow their materials, but if we weren't lucky, we almost got caught. This time we are going to the B-8 floor to borrow their machine tools. These people I won’t agree to it casually.”

"No, we don't borrow their machine tools."

Liu Lu shook his head slightly.

"Aren't our machine tools empty? Let's find a way to trade with them."

"Are you crazy?"

Lao Lu's eyes widened.

Each floor of the Pingtan Shelter has certain industrial and agricultural capabilities. Based on the flow and accumulation of people, the layers below will be deeper and deeper.

Over the long years, there are only three machine tools on the B-7 floor, two of which are still broken. Only the last one is left that can manufacture parts for repairing exoskeleton guns and a small number of tools.

If this thing is traded, wouldn't it mean that the next floor B-7 can only buy it from other floors?

In addition, machine tools are the common property of all residents on the entire seventh floor.

If someone discovers it, the consequences will be much more serious than stealing from other floors!

"Lao Lu, you know."

"As long as I can win this game and become the floor leader, no one on the entire seventh floor will know that we lost a machine tool. We have a long time to find opportunities to fill this vacancy."

"If I can't win, leave it to Jin Dafa?"

Liu Lu paused and repeated what he said before.

"Meet them tonight, the location is set"

Looking at the surrounding map hanging on the wall, Liu Lu focused his attention on a hidden building ruins in the western suburbs.

This was a place he often played when he was a child. The pipelines under the ruins were intricately distributed.

If the other party gets angry, he is absolutely confident that he can escape!

"Come and live! Come and live!"

"I can finally go out and fight. I haven't been on the battlefield yet!"

"Gan! Why are you so excited? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"

"I'm afraid of a hammer. It's not like I haven't killed foreigners before. Those things are quite stupid."

"But Captain Feng didn't say he was going to fight aliens?"

"Not a foreign race? Wouldn't it be simpler? There are still human groups in this wasteland that are more powerful than us?"

"That's right"

Inside the restructured Tianyuan Military Camp.

More than a hundred people were quickly checking their equipment and weapons, and wearing equipment for night combat.

The lively appearance didn't look like he was going out to fight with people, but more like he was going to participate in some activity.

In particular, there were a few special torturers who took out many hand-processed gadgets from their own small warehouse and put them all in their backpacks, planning to verify their power at night.

I don’t know where the doomsday madman heard the news about the military operation at night.

At the entrance of the military camp, a big thing mounted on a cart was pushed in.

"Holy shit! Is this a muzzleloader?"

A knowledgeable soldier opened his eyes wide and was stunned when he looked at the thick barrel of the car.

The muzzleloader was the main artillery of the black powder period. From its invention in the mid-16th century to the mid-19th century, it played a vital role in the history of world wars.

The whole gun is cone-shaped, gradually thickening from the muzzle to the breech, and the barrel is cylindrical, consisting of accessories such as the gun ears and the breech button.

This kind of inconvenient to move big guy is usually pulled by a special gun carriage and fired by the ignition gate.

First, the powder bag is sent from the muzzle to the bottom of the breech, and the gunner then uses a sharp object such as iron wire to pierce the powder bag in the barrel from the breech, pours ignition powder from the breech, and finally ignites and fires.

In terms of power, although the muzzle-loading gun is not as powerful as those large-caliber cannons of modern times, it can flatten hundreds of square meters with one shot.

But at this time, looking at the solid iron ball shells on the car behind that are bigger than a human head

"This thing can blow down an entire bungalow, right?"

Upon hearing this, the doomsday madman was immediately overjoyed, as if he had found a soulmate and climbed up.

"Brother, do you know anything?"

"A little bit." Nuclear Rifle shook his head modestly, his eyes still fixed on the powerful cannon.

"To be honest, I haven't really tested the power of this thing. The previous few shots were all fired at empty ground. How about you help me test the power tonight?"

"Let me try?"

Nuclear Rifle widened his eyes, with a hint of surprise on his face.

However, before he could continue, Feng Tianmin followed the sound and came over, and was also startled.

"Fuck, when did the territory have cannons?"

"Oh, it's Captain Feng!" The Madman of the End of the World scratched his head and quickly took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is the test order that the village chief and I applied for. Our first generation of powerful cannons have passed the basic test. Next, we need to see its power on the battlefield."

"I thought there would be an action tonight, so it's a good time to take it out."

"What to take? We're just going to strengthen ourselves tonight. We're not really going to fight with anyone tonight. Let's take this thing back first." Feng Tianmin almost let the plan slip, and quickly changed his words:

"And the director also said that we can't cause any noise tonight. If this guy really fires, I'm afraid it can be heard clearly for several kilometers."

"Just take it with you, what if?"

The Madman of the End of the World still persuaded unwillingly.

But no one noticed that when a group of people walking in the distance saw this side, they all showed a look of fear on their faces.

"What are they going to do?"

"Cannons! Those are cannons!"

"Someone is willing to provoke these lunatics. They are really tired of living."

"Who are they going to fight? Qinggang City? Have looters discovered Hope Village?"

Looking at the military camp from afar, Huang Xiong showed a trace of fear on his face.

That is the fear that humans will naturally have when they see the hideousness of firepower weapons.

At this time, he was only glad that he surrendered early.

Otherwise, if they really fought with this group of people, the Huanggu tribe would be exterminated.

But

Are they not afraid at all to go out and fight?

Looking at the excitement that most people could not hide on their faces, Huang Xiong turned his head in confusion and almost bumped into Su Mo who was walking towards him.

"Hello, Lord!"

Jumping back in fear, Huang Xiong quickly stood still and bowed his head respectfully.

"Is the territory going to war with foreign countries? If you need it, the warriors of the Wild Bone Tribe will be your sharpest spears, following your orders to penetrate all the enemy's defenses!"

He said this beautifully.

Su Mo looked at the convoy behind the Wild Bear in surprise. There were some mushrooms collected from the ruins on it, which were considered the specialties of the Wild Bone Village.

These things are in great demand in the market recently.

At the stall selling stewed noodles, the daily price of mushroom noodles is eight iron coins, but it is still in short supply.

"War? They are just going out for exercises, you don't have to be nervous."

"How has the Wild Bone Village developed recently?"

The Wild Bear still lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.

"Thanks to you, and the help of Village Chief Chen Shen, the Wild Bone Tribe has already established a firm foothold in the Fifth Floor District."

"We have reclaimed nearly a thousand acres of farmland. As long as we hold on until the harvest, we can accumulate enough food for the next year."

A group of refugees who make a living by wandering, looting, and plundering.

They actually got started with agriculture so quickly?

Su Mo found it quite interesting. It seems that no matter which civilization humans are from, they all have hidden talents in farming.

According to Chen Shen’s previous report, Huanggu Village was anxious to go out and do its old business a few days ago.

It has only been a month, but they have immediately become good and law-abiding citizens. The change is too great!

“Work hard and strive to lead the villagers of Huanggu Tribe to common prosperity as soon as possible.”

“If you have any needs, just tell Chen Shen as soon as possible. If he can’t solve it, come to me.”

“Needs?” Hearing these two words, Huangxiong raised his head quickly.

“Lord, there is really something I need you to coordinate.”

“Oh? You say.”

“We want to borrow some seeds from Hope Village.”

Seeds?

There is no seed for planting on the reclaimed land?

Su Mo coughed lightly: "Just talk to Chen Shen about this, borrow it first and return it later."

"No, sir, the seeds we are talking about are not the ones in the ground, but that..."

Huang Xiong seemed a little embarrassed and pointed at several male villagers passing by.

"Since we have already taken root in the territory, we will develop here in the future. There are not enough men in the tribe, and we have many young female villagers who are of the right age, so I hope to send some women to participate in the blind date meeting in Hope Village!"

"Don't worry, I will never force them. Everything is done voluntarily!"

Good guy.

Huang Xiong almost drove the car directly into his face.

seed?

Where are the seeds? They are obviously

Without thinking, Sumo decisively rejected the proposal on behalf of all the male villagers.

It seems that after humans settle down, like most animals, the first thing they think about is always how to reproduce the population.

Although the women of the Desolate Bone Tribe are all very capable and have much gentler temperaments than the women who have traveled from the earth, as long as they form a pair, they will not disobey the man at all.

But if the villagers with game panels are combined with these aborigines, the previous isolation plan will be completely bankrupt.

Soon the two villages will merge together and become inextricably linked.

"You don't have to worry about this now. We'll wait until this crop is harvested."

"There will definitely be other villages joining the territory in the future, and they will have food in hand. You should understand what I mean, right?"

"Understood, sir, I understand!"

Huang Xiong's eyes lit up and he quickly swallowed what he was going to say next.

He is a smart man, so of course he understands what this means.

Desolate Bone Village lacks a population, so it will take at least seven or eight years to start with children.

But if there are other villages, no, there are other wandering forces like the Bone Tribe joining the territory.

When the time comes, you have food in hand, but are you afraid that you won’t be able to find a man who can work to join you?

"Your kindness will be borne in mind by me."

"Be proud of Tianyuan territory."

Huang Xiong put his right fist on his heart and struck it in a decent manner, and left with his tribe with a smile.

At this time, at the gate of the military camp, a conclusion was reached as to whether or not to use cannon.

"Bring it with you, just in case!"

Late at night.

In the thick fog, Qinggang City looks extremely quiet.

For a long time after arriving, more and more wanderers living inside have noticed changes in their surroundings.

It's just that most of the timid people are still cautiously testing and don't dare to step outside the borders of Qinggang City.

Only a few brave people left the city with good supplies and manpower, heading into the unknown depths of the fog to find opportunities.

According to territorial border defense information, seven waves of people have visited the territorial border in the past ten days.

But I don’t know why, but no group of people have ever chosen to explore inside.

These people all left along the boundary of the territory and disappeared into the mist in different directions.

A ruin located in the western suburbs.

Before the war broke out, this place was originally a factory that produced intelligent equipment.

Because it was still delivering supplies to the front line when the war broke out, it was eventually blown into ruins by artillery shells.

However, the pipelines built long ago under the factory building have still faithfully performed their tasks for more than two hundred years.

Sitting in front of a well where he could escape at any time, Liu Lu played with the dagger in his hand and forced himself to calm down.

Since arriving here half an hour ago, a word coined before the war appeared in his mind.

Seeking skin from a tiger!

Yes, even though we still don’t know the details of that mysterious group of people, they were able to bring out five tons of materials in Qinggang City and trade them for machine tools to increase productivity.

Needless to say, these people are definitely not good people.

Their vision is not short-sighted, they have big plans!

If you have maintained a cooperative relationship with the Harbor Shelter in the past, you will not have to worry about the progress of completing the mission.

Liu Lu would never risk his life by associating with such a force.

But now, Pingtan Sanctuary has started the conflict in advance due to Tiger Hunt's terrible methods.

Inside, there was another disgusting fellow named Jin Dafa who wanted to put him to death.

Death-defying?

Liu Lu gritted his teeth, looked at several figures appearing in the mist in the distance, and stood up.

"Hold on, don't take action in advance without my signal."

"Tonight, we need it."

"Peace!"
