In the heavy rain, the Ironclad Castle arrived at the snowy wasteland supply point.
The city wall in Gaosong is made of a mixture of stone and steel and is over sixty meters high, while the city wall in Manbach Town is only about twenty meters tall.
The reason why such a high wall is built is because the risk factor of staying here is far higher than that of Manbach Town.
To the north is the snowy wasteland, and the giant beasts above are no joke.
The Iron Armored City can only be parked in the north, west or east, but not in the south, because the south faces the snowy wasteland, and it is also the easiest direction to escape after the snowy wasteland supply point is abandoned!
If something irresistible comes from the snowy wasteland, the people at the supply point will not defend it.
If you want to enter the 'supply point', you must leave the Iron Armored City.
"Master, the safety factor here is much lower than that of Manbach Town. Are you really sure you want to go down in person?" Butler Goda reminded him hesitantly.
What he meant was that he hoped that Li Yin could stay in the armored city of the Castle and not go there in person to get involved.
Whether it is an adventurer who is leaving to hunt or scavenge in the snowy wilderness, or a hunter who is returning from the snowy wilderness, the 'supply point' is the first stop, so no one who stays there is a kind person.
Li Yinguang glanced at Xiaoman, who was holding his hand and looking like a virgin and good boy, and shook his head with a smile: "We don't cause trouble, it doesn't matter, let's go!"
Butler Goldar opened his mouth, hesitated for a while but finally said nothing.
Modified mechanical vehicles can drive into the 'supply point', but there are strict restrictions. After all, the supply point is not very large, and there is a fee for vehicles to enter.
It is limited to vehicles coming from the town of Manbach and other directions. If the vehicle is fully loaded returning from the snowy wilderness, there is no charge.
Because of the profits, if the returning vehicles choose to sell their goods at the 'supply point', then the supply point managers will be able to receive valuable commissions.
Whether it is a merchant in Manbach Town or a merchant in other places, if you want to receive goods at a supply point, you must first give enough benefits to the person in charge here.
"Which of you has been here before?"
Li Yinguang asked.
The cold weather made him a little reluctant. The icy rain outside did not reduce much. In the afternoon, the wind picked up again.
"Master, I've been here!" said the butler Goda.
Li Yinguang nodded and asked: "How much more expensive are the supplies in the supply point than in Manbach Town?"
The housekeeper Goda thought for a while and said: "It's probably 20 to 30% more expensive, but you can buy a lot of 'first-hand goods' here!"
"First-hand source of goods?"
Butler Goda said: "Yes, the first-hand sources of goods are those hunting teams or scavenging teams that have returned from the snowy wasteland. Some will choose to sell their harvest directly at the 'supply point'. These sources of goods are also called '
First-hand supply'."
Li Yinguang said in confusion: "Wouldn't the price be higher if it is transported to Manbach Town?"
Butler Godar nodded: "The price will be higher, and the risk factor will also be greater. The necessary supply point is still some distance from the town of Manbach. As long as you are in the wilderness, no place is safe."
After a pause, he continued to explain: "The supply point not only has merchants from Manbach Town, but also merchants from other areas, such as purchasers from the Goblin Empire, so the goods are sold at the supply point, and generally they are the same as those transported to Manbach.
If I sell it now, the profit difference will be at most 10%, which is not high and is acceptable."
Li Yinguang looked up at the fifty- to sixty-meter-high protective wall of the 'supply point': "Building such a 'supply point' would require a lot of steel materials, right?"
He looked back, nodded and said with a smile: "Then this is indeed a good way to make money, and the profit is guaranteed. But it is so close to the town of Manbach, does Lord Manbach have no objection?"
This supply point is equivalent to robbing the town of Manbach of business!
"It is rumored that there is a share of Manbach Town here. The specific amount is not clear, but what is certain is that in the past two or three decades, 30% of the iron ore excavated from the Zhenbei Iron Mine, as well as a large amount of stone and soil, have flowed to
Come here." Butler Goda said softly.
There is no charge to enter the supply point, but if you stay for more than two hours, you will be charged on a per-person basis, and overnight stays will be more expensive.
The purpose is for people who want to enter the supply point, but have to stay for too long.
There are only three types of people who can stay in the supply point for a long time, one is the internal personnel of the supply point, the other is the merchants operating in the supply point, and the last one is the person who has the "supply point" residence permit.
"What about the residence permit? Spend money?"
Li Yinguang asked curiously.
The housekeeper Goda smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "There is a high probability that it is not just money that is enough, otherwise the permanent population in the supply point would not be so small."
It is easier for people in the supply point to make a living than in Manbach Town. Even if they are just helping people lead the way and purchase things, the money they make will not be much less.
"So thick?"
When passing under the protective wall, Li Yinguang looked at the long tunnel with disbelief in his eyes. The protective wall at the supply point at the entrance to the snowy wasteland was several times thicker than the city wall of Manbach Town, at least thirty meters.
Sixty meters high and thirty meters thick, even if the supply point is only one-tenth the size of the town of Manbach, it is still no small project.
The level of solidity has exceeded that of Manbach Town. Li Yinguang even felt that as long as it was well run, this place could become as good as Manbach Town.
"This place is too close to the snowy wasteland, and it is difficult for ordinary people to survive here." Sophia seemed to have seen Li Yinguang's thoughts and whispered.
Li Yinguang looked at her and asked: "Why do you want to take in ordinary people?"
Even if we only take in those adventurers and wilderness hunters, we can slowly develop. In such troubled times, as long as we live long, no one will have some survival skills.
Sophia looked at Li Yinguang. This city lord's brain circuit was indeed different from everyone else's. No wonder some people in Manbach Town said he was a fool.
"Boss, do you need a guide? The original residents of the supply point are honest and reliable!"
As soon as they entered the supply point from the outside, a group of half-year-old children, thin men, and a few stout women surrounded them, and they all began to promote themselves.
"Do you need it?" Li Yinguang turned his head and looked at the housekeeper Goda.
The butler Goda thought for a moment and shook his head respectfully: "Master, let's go to the Medical Officer first. Go straight 400 meters to the building. We don't need a guide for the time being!"
"good!"
The mechanical vehicles drove directly towards the 'Medical Center'. Seeing that they could not get any business, the so-called guides cursed and dispersed, and went to intercept other vehicles that had just entered.
The housekeeper introduced: "The supply point has two streets running across it, forming a cross. Except for the south exit facing Manbach Town, which is only allowed to go out but not enter, the other three exits are not restricted, but they must be on time.
Leave. The supply point is a square shape two kilometers long and wide."
The two-kilometer-square supply point seems to be quite large, and with a permanent population of one to two thousand people, it is equivalent to a small town. This chapter has been completed!
