Chapter 961: Unexpected Visitors, Qinggang Invitation!

"There is actually an abandoned large shield machine in that Kaixuan Hospital?"

At night, after hearing the information from the scavenging team returning from Qinggang City, Su Mo was a little surprised.

Tunnels through mountains or underground railways all use shield machines.

But this thing is really rare. I heard that the cost of one machine is as high as hundreds of millions.

"Not only is there a shield machine, but there are also many damaged medical devices on the first floor of the emergency department of Kaixuan Hospital that we checked today. I don’t know if they can be repaired."

Feng Long said so, and took out the camera to show the pictures he took.

The entire first floor of Kaixuan Hospital covers a large area of ​​about 2,000 square meters.

All kinds of scattered instruments were thrown on the ground, some of which have been integrated with the floor over the years, and some are piled in the corner like waste.

The conspicuous neutral moss grows disorderly on the walls, and many traces left by wanderers can be seen on the ground in the room.

"Because the stairs to the second floor were completely blocked, Darren said that he would bring something big tomorrow to completely blow up the ruins blocking the road, so we only explored the first floor and hurried back."

"What's the mission goal? How is the collection?"

Looking through the detailed pictures on the camera, Su Mo asked casually without looking up.

He heard about the Red Spider Caravan increasing the collection volume in the morning, which was not surprising.

Maybe they also confirmed that the surrounding environment is no longer Blue Star, but another world.

Then in the case of a sharp depreciation of commercial bonds, the value of calm powder has increased a lot.

"If it is according to yesterday's 20g per person target, we have completed it, and the average is 5! But if it is according to their new 50g target today, it is still half the amount, and we did not get the extra incentive award."

"It's okay, safety is the priority, we don't make money from this thing, just to collect more intelligence."

Hearing that Feng Long's tone was a little regretful, Su Mo couldn't help but comfort him.

All the scavengers who go to the fifth ring of Qinggang City must take a drug called "Radiation Elimination" in advance.

Of course, this is not the nuclear radiation left by the nuclear war in the pre-war era.

After all, more than two hundred years have passed. If there is radiation, Qinggang City would have been a scorched earth.

The biggest effect of taking this drug is to offset some radioactive materials hidden in the corners of the city.

For example, exposed fuel rods can continue to emit radiation for nearly three hundred years.

Once the human body is unconsciously exposed for a long time, it will cause irreversible damage.

Besides, who would risk their lives for five business coupons per person per day.

It's earned back with a takeaway meal.

As long as the Red Spider Caravan can be stabilized for a longer time, the more good goods can be taken out of them.

"Huh, what is this?"

After flipping through the pictures of the first floor of the emergency building, Su Mo suddenly exclaimed when he saw the next one.

Compared with the previous pictures, the building in this picture is obviously much more advanced.

The outer black-gray brick wall is very complete, and the clean and bright windows still reflect a glimmer of light.

The drainage pipes on the wall are arranged in an orderly manner, extending to the ground along the grooves prepared at the beginning.

At the bottom of the building, there is a giant door about five meters long and three meters high, showing a silver-gray color like marble.

However, in the picture, the door is closed.

If you look closely, you can still see a lot of bullet holes left on the surface.

"This is the sanatorium of Triumph Hospital. I heard from Darren that the defense inside is still in operation today."

"There used to be 500 guard robots comparable to power armor inside. If we can get in, we can probably find a lot of strategic materials."

"Sanatorium?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows: "Did Darren tell you about the 500 robots?"

"Yes, he also said that there is a small arsenal under this sanatorium, which can produce materials for maintaining robots, as well as ammunition and other strategic materials."

"Oh?"

Hearing the word arsenal, Su Mo immediately became interested.

However, before he could ask again, Li Hu, who was responsible for guarding the safety of the territory, ran down the stairs on the first floor of the underground city.

Seeing someone from a distance, he shouted, "Director, it's bad, someone from the Sunny Harbor Shelter is coming!"

"They asked to see you by name, and even know your general information. I suspect there is a spy in our territory!"

The rolling thunder and raindrops fell from the sky, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Sitting in the reception room that was recently built at the entrance of Hope Village, Jasper Sid quietly looked out the window.

No, it shouldn't be said outside the window.

This simple room didn't even have a piece of glass, only a large empty gap with two wooden pieces hanging.

Sporadic raindrops blew in from the window and hit the concrete floor, and soon it was wet.

"The people here are really retro."

Pine, Sid's assistant, stood up and closed the wooden pieces inward to block the increasingly heavy rain.

Whoosh!

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, piercing the mist, and swam towards the horizon like a long dragon.

Pine shrank his head and hurriedly walked back to the wooden bench in the reception room and sat down.

Sunny Harbor City is located in the tropics on Blue Star. Although it rains frequently, the number of thunderstorms is very few.

In addition, most people often live underground and have long lost their awareness of what is happening on the ground.

Even if it was just a series of thunder, it made people feel upset and a little anxious.

Creak.

The wooden door opened, and a tall woman in neat clothes walked in.

"Welcome to the two of you who have come from afar to the Tianyuan Shelter. It's a little cold in the night rain. Do you need some ginger soup to drive away the cold?"

Listening to the other party's half-baked, robot-like pre-war Blue Star language.

Pine was prepared. He coughed lightly and said slowly: "Do you have hot coffee? We prefer that."

"Yes, please wait."

The woman smiled and turned back.

Not long after, when the door opened again, two cups of fragrant hot coffee had been brewed in the porcelain cups, exuding a mellow and strange fragrance.

"It's actually beans ground from fresh coffee beans!"

"Hey, why is it so fragrant?"

From a distance, Sid, who was wandering in the world, suddenly came back to his senses and fixed his eyes on the porcelain cup on the tray.

Wisps of hot air came out of it, bringing a refreshing and unique cocoa flavor.

Slightly sour, moderately roasted, with a sweet aftertaste and a scent of violets.

As a connoisseur who has tasted many flavors of coffee, Sid had already tasted some of the flavors before the tray approached.

"This is the high-quality coffee we prepared for the two distinguished guests. Please enjoy it slowly."

"Where is your manager?"

"Our manager is on the way. Please wait."

"Okay."

Sid waved his hand subconsciously and focused all his scattered attention on the coffee cup.

The Sirius coffee machine purchased at a high price in the Sunny Harbor Shelter can produce nearly 300 different flavors of coffee.

If it was just ordinary coffee, it would not attract him to such an extent.

But the cup in front of him is completely different.

There are two completely conflicting flavors in its fragrance, one is violet and the other is white sugar flower.

One is mellow and slightly bitter, and the other is sweet and smooth.

How is this possible?

How could someone blend two completely conflicting coffee flavors together?

Sid picked up the cup in disbelief, and took a sip without caring about the hot liquid in it.

Huh.

The hot air floated out of his mouth, bringing with it a residual aftertaste.

Okay.

In addition to the two flavors, after drinking it, he tasted a third flavor.

It was the artisan coffee he had tasted from a passing caravan several years ago. It was handmade throughout the process, and the raw materials used were also from the top coffee beans in the Holy City. The price of a cup was as high as 125 business coupons.

After drinking this cup at that time, Sid couldn't forget it for several years.

But now, he actually tasted a hint of that charm in this cup of coffee.

Although it was not much, only about one-fifth.

But the shock it brought to people was far more than just a cup of coffee.

"Well, it's really delicious."

Sid was savoring every bit of the taste carefully.

Pine next to him was not so elegant. He drank the whole cup of coffee like a cow chewing a peony, and sat comfortably on the chair and let out a breath of hot air.

He didn't know what the coffee tasted like, but it was good enough, and it was worth the trip.

In addition, the quality of the coffee could roughly tell the living standards here.

It wasn't as retro as he had imagined.

It seemed that sending out the next invitation would be easier than he had imagined.

He waited quietly, just as Sid finished his last sip of coffee and stared at the bottom of the cup in a daze.

The wooden door outside suddenly opened, and a man with extraordinary demeanor walked in.

The two looked up and immediately smiled friendly.

"This should be the manager of Tianyuan Shelter, Lord Su Mo?"

"Yes, I am the manager here."

Walking in from outside, he gently placed the umbrella next to the door, and Su Mo also smiled kindly.

The surrounding number one enemy, Qinggang Shelter, suddenly sent an envoy, which he had never thought of before.

Ideally, it would be best for the two sides to have at least three to five months of buffer time to contact.

But it's a pity that on such an ordinary night, the other party took the initiative to come.

"We are from Qinggang City, the largest shelter in the city. You should know our Qinggang Shelter, right?"

"Yes."

Sitting down opposite the two people's chairs, Su Mo nodded gently.

"That's right, don't be nervous. We at Qinggang Shelter have received a lot of news and confirmed that this world is no longer the Blue Star we are familiar with, but a different dimension that was opened hundreds of years ago. And we also know that Tianyuan Shelter is not a local force on Blue Star, but the natives of this different dimension."

"But please rest assured that we treat Qinggang City and even the surrounding human settlements equally. We will not treat them differently or even attack them because they are our own people. I want to make this clear to you when we discuss specific matters next."

"Oh? Can I know how you found my shelter?"

"This."

Pine showed an expected expression and answered confidently: "Maybe you don't have a clear understanding of the various strengths of Qinggang Shelter. In fact, as long as you are near the shelter, whether in the sky or underground, we have enough ability to ensure that no unexpected situations will occur."

"We launched a sentinel microwave detector after the mutation. Although most of the microwave transmission was blocked by fog, we still successfully detected the strong signal response at your location."

"About three days ago, we used a high-altitude drone to clearly detect the specific situation here."

"It's amazing that the Tianyuan Shelter still retains large-scale ground planting, which is very spectacular."

It's both explaining the situation and showing off his muscles.

There was no intention of hiding anything in Pine's words, showing a completely indifferent look.

In fact, there is really no need to care.

The Qinggang Shelter, which has a large industrial base, can completely suppress other moles in the city.

It's even easier to face the older Tianyuan Shelter.

In the pictures taken by the high-altitude drone, there is no sign of heavy firepower weapons at all.

The other party doesn't even have the means to detect drones, which is enough to show the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

"We don't have the technology to produce starch and protein, and we still need to rely on planting to survive."

"Is that so?" Pine nodded and was about to speak.

Sid, who was silent beside him, suddenly said:

"Mr. Su Mo, is the coffee you provide us tonight machine-produced?"

His face was still calm, but there was a slight expectation in the corner of his eyes.

"As you can see, our agricultural and industrial capabilities are very backward. How can we afford luxury goods like coffee machines?"

"Is it handmade?"

"Yes, if you still want to drink it, I can"

"I want to exchange the person who made this cup of coffee for 10,000 kilograms of starch and 5,000 kilograms of protein."

Sid shook his head and interrupted, and all the expectations in the corner of his eyes were concentrated in his eyes.

"Of course, this is not a deal. If you are willing to sell this high-quality coffee beans, I will also give a reasonable price."

"Buy people?"

Good guy.

Su Mo was slightly stunned.

The 10,000 kilograms of starch and 5,000 kilograms of protein made into food are enough for 2,000 people to eat for a month.

As expected of a rich kid, I can't afford to offend him.

Just for a cup of coffee, the other party actually offered such a high price, which is simply unimaginable luxury.

"Sorry, I have no right to sell any resident of the shelter. This is their own personal freedom."

"But if you are willing, the door of our Tianyuan Shelter will be open forever, and you can come to buy and taste it at any time."

"What if he is willing?"

Sid still has some perseverance and persistence.

Of course, this is not because he wants to buy people back to become a private barista because of his momentary appetite.

But behind this cup of coffee, he saw a huge business opportunity.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as he returns to the Qinggang Shelter and maintains the production level just now, he will definitely become a humanoid self-propelled money-making machine!
