Chapter 979: Build High Walls, Store up Food, and Slowly Become King!

The bonfire made of wood chips and some waste materials burned fiercely.

The broken sparks were blown by the wind and disappeared into the mist.

The adventurers in front of the Red Spider temporary camp had red faces, as if they were burned by the fire, or as if they were excited.

Some engineers of the caravans in the distance leaned lazily on the sides of the car body, sipping small cans of beer in their hands.

Although the whole city was in chaos due to the riot of the wanderers in the daytime, the storm has not yet been transmitted to the Tianyuan territory through this distance.

Perhaps it was because of the foundation's platform, or perhaps it was the huge deterrence of the Red Spider caravan.

The people in the Qinggang shelter were very low-key, and they didn't even send a person to pass the message.

As the free fragrance drifted in the air.

Not long after, the kitchen in the camp brought out a few plates of hard dishes, which immediately ignited the somewhat lonely night atmosphere.

Roasted sheep's head.

Roasted lamb.

Braised wild vegetables.

The heavy pot was placed on the fire, and the aroma began to grow stronger with the eruption of the flames.

Luke, who had taken off his power armor, rushed to the front of the crowd with a cane.

He didn't care about the burn, he directly reached out and pulled out a fragrant lamb skewer from the pot, and picked up a crispy pancake from under the fire and rolled it in.

One bite.

Hiss.

Luke took a breath of cold air, not because he was burned by the temperature, but because of the smell

"Is it my illusion? Why does it feel more fragrant than a few days ago!"

The smell that made people dream seemed to be magnified a little at this moment.

If it was only one-fourth before, it is now at least one-third.

This speed of progress is so fast that it is a bit unbelievable.

"Is it so fragrant? Let me try it too."

Joseph, the deputy captain of the caravan, also came up. He first sniffed the smell in the air, and then looked at the broth in the pot that was rolling with bubbles.

Pick up the rough iron spoon and scoop out some gently.

The hot soup enters the mouth, as if eating a piece of honey that makes people unforgettable for a long time.

Along with the feeling of happiness from the taste buds, the liquid with a little temperature slides into the throat and enters the stomach.

Phew.

There are only two words to describe this feeling.

Satisfaction!

The food here is simply a gift from heaven. It only took more than ten days to conquer everyone in the caravan.

Even those who are picky about food are smitten by this magical taste.

"Eat, eat, it's time to eat!"

Mousse Cake, who came to "level up", brought out two baskets of baked cakes from the kitchen, with a strong smile on his face.

For reserve soldiers, the battlefield is their best place to level up. As long as they can perform well in the battle, they will immediately have a steady stream of experience points.

For chef apprentices, spreading the food to more people and getting good reviews, especially spreading it to these indigenous circles, the experience added is simply terrifying.

Ma Haoge, the old man, has recently raised his level to 56% by eating ramen noodles.

If no one had discovered it, he would have been able to level up to level 4 in the last few days.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Joseph shouted, and the engineers who pretended to be sad in the distance changed their faces and put down the bottles in their hands at the speed of light.

Hot broth, fake lamb skewers mixed with protein.

Around the fire, many people hummed with satisfaction, and Luke also sat on the ground, drinking a little wine and humming a little song from his hometown.

"I was still young when I set off, and my memories were blurred among the ruins"

"If I can still remember, those adventure stories."

"The smoke and drums followed, and the veil of the new world was opened"

"When we reach the distance, we become strong"

"When we reach the distance"

The meaningless humming was as vague as the boiling broth in the pot, but in this desolate night fog, it unexpectedly had a rhythmic rhythm.

"Friends, we have obtained enough materials and will be able to set off for the return journey in three days."

Sitting in the front position of the Red Spider Chariot, Sean raised the wine glass in his hand, shook it, and drank it all.

This is extremely rare.

In the past, before the caravan returned to the foundation for repairs, he would never let alcohol numb himself on the way.

But now it is different. The world is changing too fast, so fast that Sean already has a feeling of being abandoned.

Although he had expected that he would have such an ending from the moment the caravan was established, it did not mean that he could accept any abrupt changes calmly.

If they can survive, or even live more comfortably, no one would be willing to die calmly.

"Three days later? That should be a good time. Good luck to you."

Taking a sip of the small can of beer in his hand, Su Mo looked towards the direction of Qinggang City.

The thick fog made it difficult to see the specific appearance of the city.

But the sky-high fire has been burning since the afternoon, and there is still no sign of stopping.

Perhaps the Qinggang Shelter will use this fire to clean up the mutant plants?

"You are a special manager, at least completely different from those I have met before."

"Oh? What's special about you?"

Su Mo turned his head in surprise, but was met with a big eye roll from Sean.

"Aren't you special? Although I have seen many cases where the managers of the shelter are combatants, I have never seen anyone personally lead soldiers to the front line, taking huge risks and putting themselves in danger. Oh my God, aren't you afraid that a shell will fall from the front and blow you up?"

"You don't understand. This is the meaning of my becoming a manager.

For a lord of a territory and a manager of a shelter.

What could be more relaxing than watching his soldiers go to the battlefield and come back intact?

This is not a game. The dead cannot be resurrected.

Even the casualties of a soldier are a reality that the fragile territory cannot accept at this stage.

"You"

Sean opened his mouth, as if he understood something, but also seemed to understand even more.

He looked at the caravan members singing and dancing by the fire, and suddenly sighed.

"Will you treat your residents, your people, as friends and relatives?"

"Why not? "

Suma shook his head and asked, "Everything here is my wealth, but it is not just the materials, nor is it just the concrete buildings that cannot be taken away."

"Every resident is my greatest wealth."

"Resident wealth?"

Sean was slightly stunned. He did not expect Su Mo to answer like this.

"Strange, really strange. ”

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in the gathering places on Blue Star, if not a million.

Some are large and some are small, with tens of millions of people gathering, and some are just a dozen people.

When traveling around the continent with the caravan, Sean has seen too many managers.

There are combat managers who are as violent as hunting tigers and decisive in killing.

There are managers who love the people like their own children, strictly enforce the rest regulations, and never exploit the labor of residents.

There are rulers like tyrants, and there are managers who never care about things, even the life and death of the gathering place.

From them, Sean saw too many differences in human nature.

But in the man in front of him, he found a new feeling.

Respect.

It's strange that there are managers who respect the human rights of residents?

"I have never seen a manager who thinks like you, so I can't give you any appropriate advice. But during this period, I still thank the Tianyuan Shelter for its help. The Red Spider Caravan will return to the headquarters as quickly as possible and officially register this place on the foundation's potential transaction list. "

"It's really troublesome. "Su Mo nodded sincerely and expressed his gratitude.

Sean raised his hand and waved, coughing and said.

"This is what I should do. When we come back next time, we will bring all the equipment you need."

"Of course, just as we planned, you only need to pay with bottled food."

Paying with food is okay.

I didn't expect that Tianyuan coins could not have an influence in the aboriginal caravan, but the meals had a strong purchasing power, which could not only be exchanged for a large amount of materials and equipment, but also for scarce technology.

Su Mo secretly remembered in his heart that it seemed that the chef apprentice route had to be cultivated well.

If there are additional free route points next time, perhaps the ability of the chef apprentice can be further strengthened.

"When we leave this time, Peng Qiu and others will also return to the headquarters with us, so if you encounter pressure from the Qinggang Shelter in the near future, you must remember not to have any proof conflicts with them.

I will leave you a token to prove your identity. Maybe they will hesitate for a while when they see the logo of the foundation and insist on returning from the foundation headquarters. "

"In addition, they seem to have lost something important. If you took it, then find a way to return it to them. If you didn't take it, don't send anyone to look for it, because its value is..."

Sean nodded slightly after glancing at the poor scavengers: "Sometimes, a windfall is also a disaster. You should know what I'm talking about."

It is still unknown how much of the Foundation's reputation and deterrence can be retained in this city.

Sean thinks it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, the other party dare not send people to disturb the caravan, which is the best proof.

As for what extraordinary actions the Qinggang Shelter will take after he leaves

To be honest, even Peng Qiu is not sure, so he can only remind them as much as possible within his ability.

Sean reminded Su Mo that when there are other Foundation caravans passing by next time, he can bring his token to invite the other party to station at the edge of the territory for a period of time to deter the mole men in the city who are ready to move.

As long as he persists until the pieces of With the good harvest of grain, there will definitely be fewer people who want to take advantage of this barren land.

As for whether the caravan will steal the food business?

Sean can't care about it. He doesn't want to see this place turned into a ruin next time he comes.

In this way, the initial investment of the Red Spider Caravan will be wasted, and the future development benefits will become an unknown again.

It is better to bundle more caravans from the foundation to board this big ship together and bring the food here to all parts of the mainland. At that time, there will be more people and more power, and they can help each other when there are risks.

"Yes, after you leave, there should be no sound here in the near future."

"We will also learn from the Qinggang Shelter and build some high walls around the village to reduce their desire to attack as much as possible and protect all the crops planted until the harvest."

"Believe me, in the near future, this place may develop to a point that even you dare not believe."

"Oh? So confident?"

Sean smiled with interest, and then shrugged casually: "I hope so. If there really comes such a day, maybe I will consider moving the nursing home out of the foundation headquarters."

"Oh, damn, I still don't know if the nursing home where I ordered a bed has been teleported here!"

The harmonious atmosphere, it is completely impossible to tell that they are from two different worlds and different planets.

The night gradually deepened.

Sitting on the top of the Red Spider Chariot, Sean happily ate lamb skewers and narrated some of his experiences on the Blue Star.

Su Mo was very interested in the Blue Star, so he listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

However,

What no one noticed was that not far from the chariot, several figures wearing clothes like iron cans were hidden in the mist, holding a device like a vacuum cleaner in their hands and lying on the ground.

This iron can seemed to have a special function. The multi-spectral scanner on the chariot would not reflect the corresponding information when it was shot on the surface, but would be directly absorbed.

Reflected on the imaging end of the scanner, there would be a blank the size of a grain of rice.

If someone was staring at the scanner at this time, they would definitely notice this abrupt change in the vacancy.

But unfortunately, the bonfire party was in full swing.

Several engineers on duty were sitting at the table at this time, eating so much that they had no time to look at the screen.

Occasionally, they glanced at it and did not see the obvious red exclamation mark, which was already a sign of their dedication to their duties.

"Did you hear that? This damned Foundation caravan is finally leaving!"

"Go back and report to Lord Pingtan that the Foundation distribution stationed in the city will also leave. This is good news."

"But according to them, the Foundation has not disappeared, and it seems that the Tianyuan Shelter has not taken away the industrial core?"

"Who cares? This matter is not something we can control. Anyway, Lord Pingtan only needs intelligence. We just need to report it truthfully."

"It smells so good. I haven't smelled such delicious food for a long time."

"Catch them and replace those damned garbage in the kitchen."

"Yes, it would be better to take all their food. I'm tired of eating tasteless nutritional paste every day."

While muttering to himself, the iron can retreated and slowly disappeared in the dark corner.

No one noticed their arrival, and even the footprints left on the ground were covered up.

But unfortunately, just like they were lying here to avoid the surveillance of the chariot.

At the border of Tianyuan territory, no one expected that there would be a team of more than 20 people lurking here.

Seeing the "iron cans" lined up and flashed out of the thick fog.

A trace of joy flashed across the face of the ragged man in front of the team, and he quickly raised his hand to the team members behind him.

In the shadows, more than a dozen sharp knife lights flashed.

More than a dozen unprepared iron cans fell down with a groan, not expecting that someone had set up an ambush here.

"Boss, they seem to be from the Pingtan Shelter!"

"This is a recording."

After swiping the iron cans a few times to find the identity mark, the deputy captain came back with a pale face, holding the remote radio-receiving vacuum cleaner-like device in his hand, his expression was extremely dull.

"Play it, let me listen."

The man lying on the ground had no expression on his face, his left hand on the safe, and his right hand was still on the side of the weapon at any time.

However, as the voice finished one minute at a time, his frown suddenly relaxed a little.

"Tianyuan Shelter Foundation Caravan?"
