Chapter 992 The fall of Qinggang, the first industrial jump!
Under the increasingly dark sky, tens of thousands of homeless people clung to the lightning wall, watching in fear the black and gray waves in the distance.
Different from yesterday, this time the gathering of the undead looked even more terrifying.
The ashes seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, floating back and forth in the air, and finally gathered into a human shape to stand.
Row by row, column by column.
The undead gathered into a military formation, horizontally and vertically, and extremely neat.
They didn't make any noise, but just this momentum made many people breathless.
"No, they seem to have weapons today!"
"Oh my God, these undead have really evolved weapons???"
"They are just cold weapons. They will definitely not be the opponents of those gopher guys on the wall, right?"
"It's hard to say, yesterday they almost bulldozed the industrial area without weapons, but today they have these things."
"God forbid, where did these demons come from?"
"."
Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of undead were still attacking with their bare hands.
But today, different styles of melee weapons suddenly appeared in their hands.
There are spears, daggers, sledgehammers, and bows and arrows!
Having evolved long-range attack capabilities, these guys' impact capabilities will soon rise to the next level.
Yesterday, they could only barely fend off the Qinggang Guards who almost fell. It looks like they are going to be in big trouble!
But, just now.
The door to the lightning wall opened, and a dozen groups of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor walked out.
Seeing these people, the wanderers subconsciously dodge to the side for fear of accidentally bumping into each other.
However, what surprised them was.
The soldiers who came out had none of the arrogance they had before, and the overt arrogance on their faces was gone.
Especially the leader, who had a false smile on his face.
Looking around, under the gaze of countless wanderers, he picked up the loudspeaker tied to his waist and put it to his mouth:
"Have you seen those monsters, those undead!"
"They are our enemies, invaders who want to trample on our homeland!"
"They are the real worms in this city, far more evil than the Atomic Church on Blue Star!"
To be fair, the captain's "condemnation" doesn't sound very powerful.
Especially when the word "we" was used, many homeless people present couldn't help but curse in secret.
So shameless, worthy of being a gopher man.
When I arrested everyone here a few days ago, I never heard them use such words once.
When they bully homeless people at will these days, I don't see these gopher guys really treating the people present as us.
Why are you talking about "we" now?
Is it possible to let a group of wanderers serve as a death squad to resist those terrifying undead?
In an instant, many people present moved back slightly, and the chains made a clattering sound on the ground.
The reason why I chose not to resist before.
Just to survive!
If the Gopher Man really wanted to force everyone to fight the undead head-on, it would be equivalent to asking everyone present to die.
In this case, it is better to choose to fight with them.
At least these gopher guys only have one life, unlike the undead who can be resurrected indefinitely.
"Stop what you are doing and be quiet! Be quiet!"
Seeing everyone around him start to retreat, the exoskeleton captain quickly shouted anxiously.
Now, he didn't dare to keep talking about it anymore, and went straight to the point:
"Yes, the commander wants you to help fight the undead, but it is not free!"
"As long as you stop them, no, as long as you are willing to join our team, you will be free!"
"You can take off the shackles on your feet, get a full meal, get brand new weapons, and even stay here and become a resident of Sunny Harbor Sanctuary!"
"Yes, as long as you step into this gate now, after tonight you will no longer be the cockroaches wandering around the city. You will have an official identity, the strongest shelter in the entire city."
"We will not force anyone, you have thirty minutes to think about it."
He said a long sentence in one breath, which made the captain cough repeatedly.
But visible to the naked eye, the team of wanderers who had been leaving just now suddenly stopped in place.
etc.
As long as you participate in the battle, you can become a resident of Clear Harbor Sanctuary and become a gopher?
There was deep astonishment on many people's faces.
For more than two hundred years since the post-war era, the reason why each shelter has been able to rarely experience civil strife and maintain a terrifying cohesion is because of the blood inheritance that has been added to it by outsiders.
In fact, not only are underground bunkers not allowed to allow outsiders to join, but even some moderately large and medium-sized gathering places have very strict assessments for those who join.
Not to mention wanderers who want to join, even adventurers with special skills will go through one level of review after another.
But now, just by participating in this battle, you can gain the status of a resident of Clear Harbor Sanctuary?
This super pie falls from the sky.
The meaning is roughly similar to that of a homeless boy on earth who was cold and hungry hiding from the rain in a smelly alley.
Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of him, and a billionaire stepped out of it.
The rich man was not arrogant. Instead, he lowered his body cordially and said:
As long as you are willing to go back with me, you can live the same life as me in the future.
"real?"
The wanderer's will is not as strong as imagined.
After all, their lives depended on Gopher Man.
The only difference from predators is that they are exploited to a lighter extent.
Now you can become a resident of the shelter, even if you have to face the terrifying undead.
"Of course it's true. This is an order from the Commander. Now as long as you walk through the door, the shackles on your feet will be opened immediately!"
Seeing that his bewitchment was working, the exoskeleton captain struck while the iron was hot,
"We have prepared hot meals and meat porridge. Smell it quickly, the aroma is about to waft out."
"In addition, we have also prepared a suitable set of combat uniforms and weapons for everyone. Believe me, that thing is a hundred times more powerful than the old antiques you used before. Even the undead will never be able to pass through the fire line.
!”
Food, armor, weapons!
A series of temptations became the straw that broke the camel's back.
As the first team of wanderers couldn't help but walk into the city gate, they screamed in surprise.
In an instant, tens of thousands of people who were still hesitating were carried away and rushed towards the city gate like crazy.
"Damn it, I've been hungry for several days and I finally have a full meal."
"Yes, even if I die here tonight, it will be quite satisfying to die with a full meal as a gopher."
"Hahaha, I will be a gopher from now on. No, I will be a resident of the shelter from now on."
"If anyone dares to scold Gopher Man, I will be the first to confront him."
"Thank you Commander, you are truly the most kind and good person in the world~"
"Don't squeeze me, don't squeeze me at all!!"
The dusk is dark, the light is bright and the darkness is dark.
At three o'clock in the night, the entire Qinggang City burst into flames, burning the sky as if the sun was rising.
The mist was dyed a dreamy and sad red by the firelight, floating over the city.
The fly ash turned by the undead jumped up from the ground with the wind, kept dancing in the flames, and finally rolled up black vortexes and disappeared into the night sky.
The top of Iron Rock Mountain behind Tianyuan Dungeon.
Somo stood quietly, admiring this quiet and peaceful "beauty".
It has ended.
The day after the disaster broke out, the seemingly invincible Sunny Harbor Sanctuary was defeated.
No, maybe it can't be called a war.
From the beginning, this was not a regular battle, but more like a unilateral massacre of destruction.
Those undead who can constantly stand up and resurrect from the ground have no chance of being defeated. Even powerful tactical nuclear weapons can only slightly stop their progress.
Unless you run away and escape to a place where they can't pursue you, you have the slightest chance of survival.
And this happens to be Gopher Man's fatal flaw.
Can't move or leave.
Under such circumstances, those sturdy bunkers became the biggest constraint.
"It's a pity that that industrial zone was built. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent on its construction. The expensive superconducting energy transmission network alone is worth more than a dozen Red Spider chariots."
"Now it's all destroyed!"
Feng Long, who stopped to look at it, lamented, but his tone was full of gloating.
In today's Tianyuan territory, the Red Spider Chariot has become the latest price measure.
According to Sean's valuation before he left, all the apparent items in the entire Tianyuan Territory could be replaced by one and a half Red Spider chariots.
By comparison, you can know the value of the industrial area in Sunny Harbor Refuge.
And this is just the most basic stuff.
What makes Sumo equally regretful is the mature machinery and equipment in the industrial zone. They are huge in size and heavy in weight. The predators cannot bring them out with their bodies at all. Now they are all burned to ashes by fires and explosions.
But it doesn't matter. Tianyuan Territory didn't get this thing to use for industrial development, and the other party was bleeding heavily. I don't know how long it will take to recover.
Recently, stimulated by the reproduction plan, the industrial level of the territory has been advancing by leaps and bounds.
In particular, the underground city's accounts received several waves of dividends in succession, and Sumo took them out to hold a second wave of large-scale investment meetings, injecting capital into more than a dozen projects of various sizes in various refined industries.
Under this stimulation, just from the fact that the location of the originally divided industrial zone is already somewhat insufficient, we can see how promising the territory's industrial development prospects are at this time.
Of course, this rough stimulation method is not without its disadvantages.
It is very obvious that the work efficiency of all villagers has declined to a certain extent under the high-intensity work recently.
From around 90% at the beginning, it has dropped all the way to around 50%.
In the past, it was rare to hear villagers complaining in the corner, and everyone had more or less a smile on their face.
But now, frowning has become the mainstream phenomenon before going to bed every night.
Faced with arduous work with no visible rewards, if it weren't for the reward points for contribution and the continued stimulation of staying in the dungeon, it would not be surprising that many people's work efficiency dropped to 30%.
It's time to slow down and take a break.
It is confirmed that the gophers in the city will not be able to reduce the dimensionality of the territory for a long time.
Somo plans to build a second village further away from Qinggang City on the basis of Hope Village.
Just like Hope City in Future Ruins, which focuses on people's livelihood, and Tianyuan City, which focuses on military affairs.
Today's Hope Village must not only develop people's livelihood economy, but also develop agricultural planting.
When industrial development is brought into the mix, let alone how difficult it is to manage, it is very difficult to just issue support policies.
Therefore, it is necessary to immediately create a place similar to Qinggang Industrial Zone.
These current enterprises will become the basis for the industrialization of the territory.
Although staying away from the increasingly prosperous villages in a short period of time will bring certain pressure on the transportation of raw materials and the construction of supporting facilities, in the long run, the benefits brought by resisting these pressures are considerable.
And if the gopher guys from Qinggang City really launch a sneak attack, even if Hope Village becomes the center of the battlefield, another industrial zone will continue to provide fire support and resource input.
In addition, the fishman tribe is about to pass the most difficult period and usher in the first stage of a small outbreak.
Sumo is very much looking forward to these small fish people who work hard in the future ruins to show stronger infrastructure construction capabilities and quickly promote the infrastructure construction of the territory.
"Liu Lu also traded us two hundred kilograms of cotton. It seems that he was doing well in the Pingtan shelter during this period. In addition, he also wanted us to do him a favor and send him a favor at a suitable time.
Location, take out a group of people."
"As for remuneration, he said he could provide us with four abandoned industrial equipment, one of which is most likely the motor manufacturing equipment we need very much now, capable of producing high-speed permanent magnet motors."
"In terms of material purchase, the list he gave is for two hundred rifles, ten thousand rounds of 7.62mm bullets and a small amount of other caliber bullets, one hundred grenades, eight RPG rocket launchers, etc. It seems that he wants to shelter in Pingtan
There's something going on here."
The person in charge of communicating with Liu Lu was Bao Lei.
The later famous leader of the Heavenly Sword Regiment was quite good at getting things done.
I don’t know how he persuaded him, but Liu Lu has become more and more courageous recently. He even dared to attack other people in the same refuge so arrogantly. He definitely didn’t take the hunting tiger seriously.
"That's right, if he wants to cause trouble, we will support him unconditionally."
"The only thing we have to pay attention to is, don't let him get us involved, forget it, just get involved."
I originally thought about not offending Pingtan Shelter immediately, but I thought that if I did this too much, I would inevitably be exposed.
Simply, Sumo didn't care that much.
Anyway, the two families are so close, just look at what Yehu said before.
Sooner or later, the two parties will have further contact and friction, so it is better to support Liu Lu and start civil strife now.
When the time comes that a fight really breaks out, there will be a surprise force that can ambush them so that they won't fall into a passive position.
"Don't get ready to start."
"Starting from tomorrow, it is also time to launch the first industrial leap in our Tianyuan territory!"
