Chapter 48 Old City!(1/4)

 "52 science and technology points..."

Zhao Yu stood in front of the training camp, thinking about how to use these technological points.

According to the previous plan, he wanted to build mining plants and chemical plants.

But now that there are foreign enemies, these constructions will be postponed.

Without soldiers, he felt very insecure.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu made a decision. He first spent 40 technology points to train 40 mobilization soldiers, increasing the number of mobilization soldiers to 100.

It is equivalent to having a guard brigade, and the subsequent daily security work of the base will be handed over to the guard brigade.

Of course, we don’t need so many people at the moment. The reason why we have trained so many people is that we plan to send them to the secret military base to start construction and speed up the construction.

Then, Zhao Yu spent another 10 technology points to train 5 marine infantry, fully replenishing the commander's squadron.

At this time, the number of soldiers under his command exceeded 150, and the position of centurion on his shoulders seemed a bit insufficient.

Zhao Yu simply exchanged a few sets of commander's uniforms.

Promote yourself to an official position and be promoted to a commander who can take charge of five hundred people.

Zhao Yu temporarily handed over the security issues of the base to the chief commander, and asked him to take charge of the 20 most powerful people. He also gave two pilots who can control drones.

At present, he does not have many enemies, mainly to guard against revenge from Wild Wolf Town.

Zhao Yu divided the remaining mobilization troops into two groups. One group of 20 people was sent to the camp outside the east gate. One group was responsible for supervising the work and letting the more than 50 newly joined residents work, and the other group was to protect their safety.<

/p>

The remaining eighty mobilization soldiers were all dragged to the secret base by Zhao Yu and joined in the enthusiastic tree-cutting movement.

A day flies by.

The next day, Zhao Yu got good news after waking up.

Over at the secret base, a clearing has been opened up, and the base can be transferred there.

At present, the photovoltaic power plant is not considered safe. Zhao Yu can only feel relieved if the base vehicle is placed at the secret base.

After making sure that no one was prying around, Zhao Yu quickly put away the base, transformed it into a base vehicle form, then drove to the secret military base and re-opened it.

After doing this, Zhao Yu returned to the photovoltaic power plant again and asked the engineers to weld a few iron knots and place them at the original location of the base building. They covered them with tarpaulin to create a preliminary disguise.

"Is there no news from Wild Wolf Town?"

"No!"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly. As early as yesterday, he sent out five scouts to keep an eye on the movements of Yelang Town.

To this end, he also spent a lot of money to buy a set of communication equipment to facilitate communication between the scouts and the base.

The matter of declaring war has been handed over to Hawkeye. He doesn't know when it will be passed on.

These are all small things. For Zhao Yu, it would be a good thing if he can delay a little longer.

As long as you give him time, not to mention Wild Wolf Town, even Black Rock City dares to take a look.

Of course, we don’t have the strength yet.

Zhao Yu clicked on the daily mission. This time, there were no missions related to Wild Wolf Town. It was just a mission to clean up the alien species in the old city, which seemed a little dull.

"If you are going to the old city, just go and collect some gasoline and fireworks..."

This mission was not bad. Zhao Yu got up and went to the Mengjiazhuang camp to find Eagle Eye.

"Have you been to the Old City?"

"Well, do you have any experience?"

Eagle Eye didn't think about Zhao Yu's purpose of going to the old city and directly gave some suggestions.

"First of all, you can't bring too many people. There are mutant beasts, radioactive beasts, and alien species in the old city. Bringing too many people is not conducive to hiding. Once exposed, it will be over..."

"Secondly, be careful of other humans..."

"Huh?!"

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "What do you mean?!"

"The old city is not small. Before the end of the world, it was a big city that could accommodate tens of millions of people. It contained abundant resources..."

"Although it has now become the territory of monsters, and after several years of development, the surrounding areas have been almost completely hollowed out, but it is still the first choice for many people to scavenge..."

"Not only do we people in the wilderness go to the old city, but there are also many people who go to Blackstone City, Bright Moon City in the east, and Nanguo City in the south to scavenge..."



Zhao Yu also heard about Jiaoyue City and Nanguo City, which were also new cities built after the end of the world.

One is in the south and the other is in the east, at least three hundred kilometers away from them, so it is not as loud as Black Rock City.

However, the distances between these new cities and the old city are almost similar. It is estimated that when they were originally built, they also took a fancy to the resources in the old city.

In this era, everything is scarce, and teams entering the old city to scavenge are not just for oil.

Many of them are actually for cars and parts in the old city.

Black Rock City does not have the ability to build a car alone.

The existing cars that can be driven are either handed down from the old times or imported from other cities at high prices.

In addition to cars, various other high-tech products are basically missing in Black Rock City.

It can be said that Blackstone City is a very ordinary and conventional new city. Except for a weapons manufacturing production line with some value, there is no product that can be sold elsewhere.

This is a typical local city that can dominate one area, but it is difficult to expand its power and radiate its influence.

Of course, for the rulers of Blackstone City, the most valuable purchase is not weapons.

The right to mint money, even if it can only be circulated within one city, is enough to make the ruler rich.

Therefore, the foundation of Black Rock City is actually hegemony, relying on force to provide internal security in Black Rock City, and then using high housing prices to harvest the wealth of ordinary people.

Correspondingly, Blackstone City's method of dominating the local area is possible, but it does not work externally. Even merchants and foreign chambers of commerce will not purchase Blackstone coins. Even if they do, they will exchange them for commodities before leaving.

But these do not affect the enjoyment of Black Rock City's senior executives. For them, having the right to mint money is something that allows them to enjoy prosperity and wealth for generations to come.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Having everything they should have, they will naturally look for something that is scarce in Black Rock City to differentiate themselves from ordinary people and gain a greater sense of superiority and satisfaction.

Therefore, the team that went to the old city to search was not just looking for useful things such as oil and car parts pragmatically.

They will also look for objects for these lords of a city to bring their spirits to a climax. They want all the famous paintings and antiques from the old era.

"In addition, after entering the old city, it is best not to shoot if you can..."

Although Eagle Eye doesn't know what Zhao Yu is doing in the old city, he still doesn't want anything to happen to Zhao Yu as they are now bound together.

"It's a pity that Sister Meng is not here. Otherwise, no matter what you do in the old city, it will be easier if Sister Meng is with you..."

"But it doesn't matter. There is a large-scale Peace Town south of the old city. It is open to the outside world and there are many strong men from the Three Cities and the Wilderness..."

"If you want to enter the old city, you can consider hiring some strengtheners in Peace Town..."

"Hire?!"

Zhao Yu was a little surprised. Are there any strengtheners who accept employment?

"That's right!"

Hawkeye smiled and said: "The teams in the wilderness basically go to the old city for natural and easy-to-sell things like oil..."

"Other things like car parts, there are no specific channels, it is difficult to sell at a high price, and it is easy to be ripped off..."

"So, these kinds of items are usually hired by shops in the city to help them obtain them..."

"These teams rarely make a trip, and they always take on other missions along the way, just to make extra money..."

"If you want to go deep into the old city, my suggestion is that you go to Heping Town first. It seems to be relatively safe there and its reputation is guaranteed..."

After his understanding, Zhao Yu also had a deeper understanding of the old city and the scavengers.

Sure enough, snakes have their own paths and rats have their own paths. Heping Town was built on the basis of the old city and serves the three cities.

For outsiders, the most valuable thing is a car, which cannot be driven into the old city and can easily be stolen if left outside.

Therefore, Heping Town was born in response to the need and survived by charging parking fees.

This is a long-term deal. Unless the benefits are so great that Heping Town will become jealous and fall out, they will not easily make fun of their credibility.

"Although Heping Town is a town, it can be called a small town. The permanent population exceeds 30,000 people. Including the circulating population, there are 50,000 people all year round..."

Zhao Yu nodded and asked: "Then if I want to hire a team that is familiar with the old city there, or park the team in Heping Town, what do I need to pay for it?"

"There, no matter whether it is the Black Stone Coin, the Bright Moon Coin or the Nanguo Coin, it is not easy to use..."

Hawkeye casually escaped a handful of bullets and said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, weapons, ammunition and food are hard currencies. Of course, if you are willing, the value of oil will be higher..."

In terms of weight and unit price, oil is indeed easy to carry and expensive, but Zhao Yu himself lacks this item, so how can he be willing to sell it?!

"I understand, thank you!"
