After the eighty-four newly joined wanderers were disarmed, all their belongings were inspected without any privacy.
Naturally, those weapons, large and small, were ruthlessly confiscated and became private collections for the Guards to study.
And some multigrain cakes or roasted radiation monster meat were left behind in the grateful voice of the wanderer.
From here, head to Barren Bone Village.
There, they will receive a three-day naturalization training. After passing the training, they will be received by the lord and given the status of permanent residents of Tianyuan.
As for being unable to pass, Wild Wolf did not say how to deal with it.
But judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't intend to let these ducks go again, and there is a high probability that he will play the same old tricks of the homeless again.
If you want to stay, you must first start from the lowest status of a slave, and then complete the tasks step by step to gain equal rights.
"It's really strange here. Their tribe was built on such unprotected land."
"Aren't they afraid of the beast tide? This kind of plain is the favorite place for radiation beasts to run wild."
"What are you afraid of? I haven't seen that weapon. It feels more powerful than those old gophers in the city."
"They are so kind to us. I originally thought that I would donate all the food, but I didn't expect that they all stayed."
"Hey, it would be great if I could really stay here and become a resident of the shelter..."
Stepping into the boundary of the territory, the tired wanderers regained their energy and walked behind each other, whispering to each other.
Compared to living in the ruins of the city, they probably haven't spent even one percent of their time setting foot in the wilderness from birth to now.
In my mind, wilderness is synonymous with death.
Anyone who dares to step out will eventually die in the pursuit of freedom.
But now that they have truly come out, everyone is surprised to find that the outside world is not what they imagined.
The air here does not have the disgusting rancid smell or burnt lake smell in the city at all. It is as fresh as if it had been raining continuously.
The ground here is soft and soft when you step on it, and there are no dangerous mutant plants visible to the naked eye, so people don't have the slightest worry about threats appearing in the corners.
"Perhaps we should have come out a long time ago. The wilderness is like paradise!"
A homeless man expressed the sentiments of most people present, which attracted many echoes.
But walking in the middle of the team, Osmond, who had negotiated earlier, was a little worried.
The strength of this Tianyuan Refuge is indeed much stronger than imagined!
They have the ability to transmit information under the isolation of heavy fog.
Judging from the speed at which the guards gathered just now, it was fortunate that no one had rushed in before, otherwise it would have been a disaster to be discovered.
"Boss, I have a hunch that the guard just now definitely discovered us, and he can see that we are different from those wanderers." Vice-captain Mike walked up and whispered to himself: "Fortunately, we hid all the supplies.
Get up, otherwise the search just now would have exposed everything!"
"Don't worry, we are also people who grew up wandering in the jungle, they can't find anything."
Osmond nodded slightly, sighed, and finally felt a little more relaxed.
In the past few days, all the gophers in the entire city seemed to be going crazy, scraping the ground to search for the homeless people who had invaded the Sunny Harbor Shelter, in order to find the stolen "industrial core".
At first, Osmond was almost frightened to death after discovering that they had found him.
Who would have thought that the industrial core that he found so casually could be so important and make Qinggang so crazy.
But after being chased for several days, his courage gradually grew.
Although most of the supplies were abandoned on the way to escape, the invasion did not gain enough capital to leave here.
But as long as the industrial core can be preserved...
Osmond thinks long-term and is not blinded by temporary benefits. He really wants to do something big.
Not to mention other things, you must at least exchange for enough materials or status for the rest of your life.
From the recordings collected that night, he was surprised to find that Tianyuan Shelter actually cooperated with the Foundation's caravan.
Joining this Tianyuan shelter, which doesn't look very powerful, is an important part of his plan.
The reason is simple.
The only ones who can buy the industrial core without fear of retaliation from Clear Harbor Sanctuary are these big forces on Blue Star.
They don't care about local snakes, maybe by the time Sunny Harbor Shelter realizes, they will have already left.
In addition, the foundation's caravan can definitely afford a suitable price.
After all calculations in the entire Qinggang City, there is indeed no place more suitable for hiding than this Tianyuan Refuge!
As a result, Osmond, who was trying to find a way to enter the refuge's sphere of influence with his people, was lucky enough to find out about the recruitment order issued by the Wild Wolf.
Being keen, he immediately realized the opportunity.
After gathering a group of homeless people in the city, Osmond hurriedly brought people over to test them out.
Now it seems that this move was indeed the right one!
"We're here, ahead is the Bone Village where you will live in the future."
"Everyone is here, wait where you are, the village chief of Barren Bear Village of Barren Bone Village will be here soon!"
...
Just when the wanderers came to the fifth floor area, at the same time.
Somo, who was running around in the ruins of the city wearing the Sun Chaser Armor, was about to arrive at the area around Qinggang Shelter.
Compared with the time we visited a few days ago, this area is obviously much more dilapidated now, and the level of ruins is comparable to that of the western suburbs.
Continuous tactical nuclear bombing has opened up several large holes in the northern suburbs, with lingering radiation inside.
Every time you pass through these large holes, the Geiger counter built into the Sun Chaser will beep crazily.
For fear of attracting surrounding monsters, Somo could only swing around at high places and try not to get close to dangerous areas.
But even so, several eyeless radiation creatures still followed.
"This size has nearly doubled in just one night?"
He saw a mutated hyena that was already half a man's height rushing towards him from the side. Somo turned his body to one side and hit the hyena's hard lower abdomen with his right fist.
The latter whined, burst out of the air and hit a stone slab, and its bones shattered instantly.
This time, it seemed that the remaining radioactive creatures were frightened.
They hesitated for a moment, then finally retreated and disappeared into the dark corner.
"It seems that the IQ of these guys has also improved, and they actually know how to bully the weak and fear the strong."
Regardless of how much the returning buffs have improved the physical fitness of these monsters, the change in IQ alone is enough to multiply the threat they can pose several times.
Considering that these monsters are not restricted to the city like the undead, but have the authority to step out of the city.
After thinking for a while, Sumo could only hastily step forward and tear off a piece of mutated plant bark, wrap the hyena's corpse in it, throw it into a semi-collapsed building, and continue to evacuate to Qinggang along the previous route.
Go in the direction you want.
After about half an hour, we walked through the area shrouded in nuclear radiation with great difficulty.
When we arrived in front of the lightning wall, our field of vision became much emptier.
On this scorched earth that had been covered by bombs, the ground was covered with a thick layer of black ash.
Tens of thousands of shackled humans are struggling to use the tools at hand to transport the black ash further away.
At the gap in the lightning wall, there were also many engineering equipment sparks flying, and it seemed that emergency repairs were being carried out.
Industrial area behind high walls.
The ruins of buildings burned by homeless people are being brought out by trucks and piled in front of the lightning wall, turning them into a roadblock.
Looking at this, Qinggang Shelter is ready for a long tug-of-war.
"In a short period of time, the threats from here should be much less..."
Although I don’t know how much strength is hidden in the real underground part of Sunny Harbor Sanctuary.
But judging from their current appearance, they probably don't have any additional killer weapons.
After continuing to observe for a while, I asked Zero to record the information of the surrounding five kilometers to form a 3D model.
Somo did not continue to move forward, but decisively turned around and returned along the original path.
If the undead attack again, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for Sunny Harbor Sanctuary to extend its tentacles to the outside world.
As for traveling across the entire city to the western suburbs or even beyond, the possibility is slim.
The most important thing to do at this time is not to attract any attention from the other party and to keep a low profile to the end.
As for how it will develop in the future, we can only take it one step at a time and let the game decide the next pace.
...
For a city where tens of millions of people lived before the war, Qinggang City's infrastructure was still in place.
The rulers here ambitiously planned a complete urban pipeline and infrastructure layout from the very beginning.
The western suburbs are affluent areas, while the northern suburbs are industrial areas.
The eastern suburbs are municipal areas, while the southern suburbs are residential areas.
Different from the sparseness of the other two places, we have just taken a detour to the wilderness on the outskirts of the southern suburbs.
The team of scavengers who came in a hurry were shocked again!
The buildings here are like leeks in a vegetable patch, densely packed together, and each building has seventy floors.
Based on the floor height and number of households, the number of residents that can be accommodated in one building alone exceeds 20,000.
"According to information, this residential area used to be home to more than eight million people..."
"I thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but now I see that it should be much higher than this number."
The dreamer with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at the information recorded on the paper, with unconcealable astonishment in his eyes.
There are many cities on earth with a population of more than ten million.
But he had never seen nearly ten million people gathering in just one area.
It's hard to imagine how a human would feel living in such a small room like a pigeon cage, looking out the window at the densely packed buildings around it.
In comparison, those super communities in big cities on the planet can only be regarded as playing house, not even remotely as good as this one.
However, if a disaster breaks out here...
"We have to be more careful. The terrain here may be more complex than that on the Fifth Ring Road."
The western suburbs are full of single-family villas where wealthy people live, and you can tell at a glance whether there are any dangers in the sparse neighborhoods there.
But in the southern suburbs, although it is rare to see collapses on the reserved road between two buildings, the actual walkable distance may only be about ten meters.
The shielding effect brought about by this complex terrain is simply a paradise for radiation creatures to survive.
In order to avoid possible attacks, all the scavengers immediately became vigilant, and the accompanying Tianyuan Army also turned on their gun safety.
Of course, if it weren't for the temptation of upgrading the route, facing this kind of scalp-numbing danger would be a problem.
Definitely half of the people present wanted to turn around and leave, and they would never actively put themselves in danger.
But what's exciting is that the game has already taken this situation into consideration.
Everyone starts from the first time they step into the land of southern suburbs.
The experience bar of the scavengers began to fluctuate slightly, and the value provided per minute was comparable to rummaging through the territory for a whole day!
As for the Tianyuan Army who chose reserve soldiers, their experience bars also began to increase to a certain extent.
Although it is still not as good as the lightning wall battle that I participated in before, it is still much more training than training in the territory.
"Be careful...get down!"
Having just entered the first outermost neighborhood, Feng Long's body had already made a choice before he finished speaking.
Bang bang bang...
A violent roar erupted from the barrel, pushing the bullets inside the magazine out of the chamber, shooting into the hazy mist.
A huge hamster that wanted to pounce out was beaten into a sieve while it was still in the air.
At the same time, other Tianyuan troops also reacted and shot at the huge objects in the mist that they thought were ruins.
For a moment, tongues of fire spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, the bullets whizzed up and brought out streaks of blood, and there was a burst of howling that made people's hearts tremble.
"Damn it, this is a rat's nest!"
Feng Long cursed secretly, and everyone began to retreat in embarrassment. They could only keep retreating and retreating out of the block.
A mutated hamster the size of a calf, with sharp teeth over one meter long.
The first time I saw this kind of monster, even though the San value had been raised a lot by the aliens, someone still peed their pants on the spot.
Perhaps facing humans wearing powered armor, these radioactive creatures did not dare to challenge them rashly.
But for some ordinary humans who look "delicious", their aggression exceeds imagination.
The sharp stones are like tofu. If they are hit by the hamster's teeth, a deep hole will form.
The hair covering the body can also greatly reduce the impact of bullets.
Unless hit on the head, the mutant hamsters will continue to charge until they eat delicious prey.
"Withdraw everyone, this street won't work!"
Realizing that he and others might have stepped into the territory of mutant hamsters, Feng Long roared.
The two brigades could only fight and retreat, and retreat continuously toward the starting point.
However, everyone still underestimated how persistent these hamsters were in provoking the delicious food.
Gradually, as the squeaking sounds became more and more intensive...
"No, we have to disperse and evacuate!"
The male gunman opened his shotgun violently, knocked back a hamster and let out a strange scream.
At this time, there were more than a hundred mutant hamsters surrounding them from all directions. Even if everyone could win in the end, it would only be a miserable victory.
Want to live...
"Fuck, what are you going to do?"
The old man on the side glanced at him and saw the male gunman take out the explosive bag from his arms, and he was momentarily confused.
This guy is always capable of doing things that are hard to understand.
These were comparable to four explosive packets the size of moving bricks. Who knows how he tied them to his body and brought them here.
What if this exploded on the way here?
Depend on.
Before the other scavengers around him could complain, the male gunman gritted his teeth and raised the explosive bag above his head, and suddenly lit the fuse.
"Leave me alone, you retreat first!"
"Team A, if anyone is willing to follow me, rush to the block on the right after the explosion!"
