Chapter 988 Tianyuan Warning Wall, the Scavengers' First Battle!

Tianyuan territory border.

The construction cement machine obtained from the Red Spider Caravan is rumbling.

This large telescopic machine occupies a large area and is divided into three parts.

The first part is a hole-shaped feed processing port, the second part is a square mixing machine, and the third part is a pipe-shaped discharge port.

At this time, villagers are pushing carts in front of the huge discharge port waiting for transportation.

With a roar, the pipe began to spit out fluffy things as delicate and dense as foam, falling into the first cart.

"Hey, this thing is really useful!"

The boss of the Empire Building Materials Factory, "Artificial Empire", stood next to the cement machine and couldn't help but sigh.

It is said that technology is the primary productive force.

Since this thing started to work, his building materials factory cement orders have instantly decreased a lot.

Especially for the recent "territory warning wall" major project, the quotation given by the Empire Building Materials Factory is completely incomparable with this machine.

In production, the cement foam machine only needs less than ten people.

Six of them are responsible for feeding, two are responsible for maintaining order, and the remaining two are responsible for discharging.

If it is fully operational, this machine can produce about five tons of cement every day.

Although the output is not high enough, it has an automatic separator integrated inside.

Those construction wastes recovered from the territory and the skeleton remains transported back from the surrounding areas of the western suburbs.

Just pour them into the mixing bin and turn on the power, and then just wait for the cement to be produced.

"Boss, didn't the lord say that we can exchange the machine with shares?"

"As long as we take this machine, not only will the efficiency be improved, but a competitor will also be eliminated!"

Bao Dafu, the "deputy director" of the building materials factory, who is about 170 cm tall and looks honest, suggested beside him.

On Earth, he is an experienced construction worker who has spent almost half his life on the construction site.

Whether it is measurement, steel bars, mud and water, electric welding, or scaffolding, Bao Dafu is extremely skilled in these common processes on the construction site.

However, the funny thing is that the position of deputy factory director was not his position at the beginning, but his custom nickname.

At first, he just wanted to change a note for the real deputy factory director in the small channel of the Empire Building Materials Factory.

But for middle-aged people of age, even if the game panel is already very fool-proof, it is still not something that middle-aged people of this age are good at.

After a while, Bao Dafu changed his nickname to deputy factory director.

Because everyone in the channel communicates directly with nicknames.

After being misunderstood many times, the Artificial Empire simply promoted Bao Dafu to the position of deputy factory director, in charge of specific material construction, and now it is justified.

"That's right, but this thing wants 90% of our shares, a big bleed"

The Artificial Empire was a little hesitant.

At this time, the deputy factory director said this, and suddenly his heart became more and more hesitant.

At this stage, relying on the remaining infrastructure projects in the territory and providing other building materials, the income of the Empire Building Materials Factory is not low.

Giving 90% of the profits to others, even if it is to the lord of the territory, and assigning it to the name of Tianyuan Underground City

This is also a difficult decision to make.

"Boss, 90% of the shares do not mean only this machine. Didn't the lord say that if there are other similar construction machines in the future, they will be handed over to our building materials factory to operate."

"Think about it, if there are more people joining the territory in the future and there are a few more building materials factories, if our industry does not have moat technology, how much profit and market will be lost!"

The deputy director is still persuading him. Although his clumsy eloquence is not very tempting, it is more touching at this time.

In terms of interests, the building materials factory industry is about the supply chain's ability to lower prices.

If you want to maintain it for a long time, it is extremely necessary to find and build more moats.

Giving up this building foam machine now will not affect the profits of the building materials factory, but what about in the future?

If there is another brick machine and a steel bar machine, will the Empire Building Materials Factory still be able to open?

"Hey, the lord is back!"

Just when the artificial empire was still thinking, there were bursts of exclamations from afar.

Su Mo, wearing the Sun Chaser Armor, returned from Qinggang City and was standing by the guard wall.

Wow.

The construction speed is really not slow.

It has only been a week since the beginning, and a wall of hundreds of meters has been built, with a width of one meter and a height of two meters.

Although it is still not comparable to the lightning wall of Qinggang Shelter, it is perfect for showing sovereignty.

It can block some radioactive creatures that want to sneak over from Qinggang City on a daily basis, and can become a defensive line in wartime.

If the height can be increased to three meters, and the rear can be enclosed, it can also meet the sixth condition of the Bronze Age upgrade, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

And it is not just the border of the territory.

After watching the battle of the wanderers attacking the industrial zone, Su Mo planned to make full use of the buffer zone from Hope Village to Qinggang City.

With a strategic depth of nearly 100 kilometers, as long as there are enough defense facilities and traps, it will be difficult for the enemy to invade.

And if they want to attack from other directions of the territory, there are natural terrains to serve as a cover.

Compared with active attack, it is the wisest choice to do a good job of defense first.

After all, although most villagers have the courage to go to the battlefield, no one can predict what will happen when they really go there.

It is naturally much better to have more time to adapt than to start a contact war right now.

However, just as Su Mo was admiring the villagers building the wall, the game interface suddenly popped up and automatically jumped to the private chat channel.

It was Feng Long's message.

"Director, there is a big trouble in the southern suburbs."

"We were accidentally ambushed by radioactive creatures when we entered the southern suburbs. In order to escape, everyone had to evacuate in a scattered manner."

"Now about one-tenth of the people have returned, and the rest don't know where they went. Moreover, the outer area of ​​the southern suburbs is full of radioactive creatures. It is very difficult for us to go in and find people."

Lost?

Staring at the three lines of information, Su Mo pondered for a moment, but he was not as panicked as Feng Long.

To be honest, since he decided to give the villagers a certain degree of freedom, this kind of unexpected danger has long been deduced by Zero.

The dangers in the city are no less than those in the wasteland wilderness, especially now that the disaster is in the process of erupting.

It is only a matter of time before we encounter uncontrollable dangers.

As for how to deal with it

Zero listed several suitable methods before, with different success rates.

The highest one is naturally Su Mo personally leading people to rescue, and the success rate can be around 70% depending on the length of time.

The lowest one is to leave it alone and let the scavengers play freely, with a success rate of about 10%.

But can artificial intelligence really predict all situations?

Su Mo can't deny it, but this time he really wants to try it and chooses to believe it.

If he can't even deal with some radioactive creatures with lower IQ, then he can deal with moles and predators in the future.

He can't let him, the lord, run out to clean up his ass every time, right?

"All Tianyuan troops are dispatched, bring weapons and supplies."

Jumping to the channel, Su Mo issued an order.

"Clear the retreat intersection, don't go deep into the rescue."

"Open a way for them to come back, believe in our scavengers, believe that they can come back."

Route selection brings unlimited possibilities to Earth players, and it is no longer realistic to manage them as before.

Recently, Su Mo has been feeling that he has less and less time, and needs to deal with more and more complicated matters.

Especially, if he goes out for half a day, there will be a thick pile of documents in the office of the underground city.

In the current situation, it is better to formulate a suitable response.

Otherwise, he has to take the lead in rescue every time something happens, and it would be too frustrating for this lord.

"By the way, send another hundred scavengers to the southern suburbs. Anyway, one missing is missing, and a hundred missing are the same."

"The route they chose is naturally suitable for exploration, and the current situation is just right!"

It was almost the same as expected. After being notified that they could go to the southern suburbs of Qinggang City for exploration.

The scavengers ranked between 100 and 200 went crazy instantly!

Danger?

Not possible. Now they have weapons, intelligence, food and drink, and the bonuses given by the route.

Will it be more dangerous than when they first crossed into the wasteland with nothing?

As for encountering radioactive creatures, they may also encounter predators, wanderers, and even mole men?

This is even more wonderful. Scavengers can pick up things and heads.

It just so happens that the warehouse has recently sent out information about buying meat, as long as the meat of radioactive creatures is edible.

The scavengers are 100% sure that the southern suburbs of Qinggang City will become a "holy land" in the surrounding area.

And those looters must have a base, right?

As long as they can follow the clues to enter, wouldn't they pick up everything and their levels will rise rapidly?

Coincidentally, the three-person team at the fifth ring of the southern suburbs also thought so.

After a brief hesitation, led by the male gun brother, the three took out their crossbows and quietly moved up.

If it was a sunny day, the difference in numbers might be a big disadvantage.

But now the sight obstruction caused by the fog is simply a paradise for old yinbi!

Hiding on the ground and slowly crawling forward, the old Taoist's face has already shown a perverted smile.

Even though Blue Star has developed two hundred years more than Earth, the manhole cover is still preserved.

More than 20 people have come out of the upturned manhole cover, and are vigilantly checking the surrounding situation.

They are wearing coats made of animal skins, with primitive and mysterious animal teeth hanging on their bodies, making a clanging sound when they walk.

Perhaps they are afraid of alarming the surrounding radioactive creatures, so guns are not standard equipment for this group of people.

The short knives and crossbows stained with various unknown liquids look more threatening.

Without rushing to act, they moved to a distance of more than ten meters, and the dream hunter signaled the three to hide behind a piece of building ruins.

The advantage of being in the shadows is not only that they can launch a surprise attack, but also that they can collect a lot of intelligence.

"Listen to what they are saying first."

He took out a small radio headset from his backpack and threw it lightly in the direction of the figure.

The stone-sized headset spun on the ground and finally stopped very close to the crowd.

Picking up the palm-sized device on the ground, the dream hunter adjusted it a little, and faint voices came out from it.

"Master, listen carefully."

Among the three, the male gunner is the most illiterate. He is the worst at learning the Blue Star language and even basic communication is difficult for him.

The dream hunters themselves can communicate, but it is still a bit difficult to hear the other party's accented slang.

Only the Taoist priest has a full talent for language.

Except for the strange accent, he can now communicate normally with the people in the Bone Village.

"More and more radiation beasts are mutating around. It must be caused by the radiation of tactical nuclear weapons."

"Damn Qinggang Shelter, they took away our brothers, friends and relatives. We must take revenge!"

"Find a way to seduce the radiation beasts to cause trouble for them."

After listening patiently for a while, the Taoist priest successfully summarized the key points among countless nonsense.

It is said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

When he heard that these people were going to cause trouble for the mole man, the Taoist priest's eyes lit up immediately.

But before he could express his opinion, he immediately heard news that made people frown.

"Except for Qinggang, the other molemen must not be spared and let them suffer the same pain and displacement as us."

"It's their fault for leading the radiation beasts to Pingtan. They started the war and caused this disaster."

"There is also the newly appeared Tianyuan shelter in Pingtan, Xijiao. These molemen"

"All must die!"

Want to lead the radiation beasts to Xijiao, and also want to lead them to the territory to cause damage?

After hearing this information, the old Taoist almost got angry.

Good guy, they say that every grievance has its perpetrator.

Tianyuan Territory didn't provoke you at all, did you have to fire this kind of AOE map cannon?

Everyone had just witnessed the horror of the radiation beasts. If they were allowed to go to the territory and ambush and attack the villagers who were working, they would be very dangerous.

The old Taoist lowered his head with murderous intent on his face. He lowered his voice and said slowly: "Damn it, these predators are really tired of living. Before we even started, they wanted to lure the radiation creatures into the territory to cause damage."

"Strike first and kill them?"

"I'll go first, and you guys support me as needed."

I was already prepared to attack, without any extra nonsense.

The male gun brother's eyes turned cold, and his erratic eyes instantly focused, like a cheetah.

I saw him hunched over and rolled forward, and the crossbow in his hand suddenly "spit out its tongue" like a venomous snake.

A crossbow arrow coated with paralysis grass juice flew out and accurately hit the predator standing behind.

There was no sign.

With a dull sound of falling to the ground, the second crossbow arrow came quietly.

"Enemy attack!!"

A sharp roar of warning sounded.

Living in such a complex area, every predator has already had a lot of combat experience.

In an instant, those live targets that were originally standing on the ground disappeared from sight and fell to the ground at the fastest speed.

However

Boom!

A fragmentation grenade that flew from nowhere landed in the middle of the lying crowd.

Exploded with a loud bang!
