"The snow here has not only melted, but also grass has grown?"
Duan Xiong murmured, many thoughts flashing through his mind.
The current gold standard for measuring whether a territory is strong or not is naturally how well it handles this snow disaster.
Along the way, he only saw the snow disappearing in the territories of powerful foreign races, and the land gradually recovered.
rare.
No, apart from the Tianyuan territory, no one in the human territories could handle the snow disaster properly.
Most of them have hastily cleared out a piece of their only living space and are anxiously preparing to deal with the next disaster.
Where can the land be treated and restored to the point where it is enough for farming like this land now?
"It seems that this trip is the right one!"
Duan Xiong was slightly excited and involuntarily lowered his right hand on his waist.
He looked far into the distance and continued to examine the scenery passing by the window.
After a while, he had a better understanding of the military force of this Tianyuan territory.
It can't be called strong, but it shouldn't be weak either.
Whether it's a tall tower or a bunker rising from the ground.
Although when facing some special alien races, such obvious defense facilities can easily be bypassed.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, it can still act as a good deterrent to get through the most difficult days.
"The town is five kilometers ahead." Wen Da in the front row turned his head and warned.
After receiving this news, Duan Xiong quickly cheered up and looked at the direction of the vehicle at this time.
Sure enough, at the end, you can already see fireworks steaming up and hovering in the low sky.
If you listen carefully, you can still vaguely hear some faint noises.
However, while Duan Xiong was still observing, the other caravan members sitting in the car were not so calm.
"Boss, those are people from the Cumulus Chamber of Commerce. Why are they here too?"
"Damn it, don't these guys only do business in the eastern area?"
"Someone actually got there before us. Is there a spy among us who spread the news?"
"Do they think they've already finished the deal? Damn it!"
On the ground not far away, a group of lizard vehicles caught everyone's attention.
After clearly identifying the sign hanging above the first car, it indeed represented the Cumulus Chamber of Commerce.
Duan Xiong's expression changed slightly. Not only did he not feel any anger, but he felt a little uneasy.
The Cumulus Chamber of Commerce is currently ranked eleventh in the New World, far beyond what a small caravan like them can do.
Being traded by such a large caravan, it's hard to say whether the other party will appreciate what they have.
With this concern, Duan Xiong was a little anxious.
But soon, as Hope Town was completely revealed in front of his eyes, the anxiety he had not accumulated enough was suddenly relieved.
What appeared before his eyes was the imaginary village gathering place.
There are red and green prefabricated houses scattered neatly on the ground, and the gravel roads in the town have clear boundaries and extend in all directions.
The tall and tall tree with lush green leaves planted inside the town is dotted in the public activity venue in the center of the town.
While other places are still starving, this town is striving for a better life!
Not only are there a large number of simple buildings that can only be seen in modern times, but there are also street lamps that appear every 20 meters in the town, as well as shops with signboards inside.
And this is not the most outrageous thing. Not far from the side of the town, there is an extremely modern building. It is four stories high, completely black, and looks very mysterious.
All of this combined formed a sharp contrast with the other human gathering places seen along the way. It did not look like a town that should appear in the wasteland at all!
The car was still moving forward and slowly drove into the slightly "shabby" wooden gate of the town.
Duan Xiong got out of the car, and the ten younger brothers who followed him also got out of the car in time. The group of people stared blankly into the town.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve walked a long way in the barren mountains and haven’t seen any human habitation for a long time.
Looking back and forth at this time, the prosperous scene in the town actually gave people a feeling of returning to modern times.
There was no trace of panic on the faces of the men and women who were carrying farm tools, holding materials, and pushing carts.
While walking back and forth, most people were talking and laughing, and their calmness gave people a sense of absurdity.
Among these aborigines, Duan Xiong also located the obvious foreign population at a glance.
"Jide Chamber of Commerce, White Moon Caravan, Misoma Chamber of Commerce"
Powerful chambers of commerce generally choose to engrave their logos on clothes to avoid unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, Duan Xiong glanced at them and immediately identified three of them.
There are even more signs that he has not recognized yet, and those who are not wearing labeled clothes, plus at least four or five more.
"Shall I take you to the Ministry of Foreign Trade to sign in first?"
"We hope that the town has built a special hotel for foreigners. The first night is currently free. If you don't mind, you can also take a good rest for a day and plan the transaction tomorrow."
Wen Da got out of the car and was very satisfied with the performance of Duan Xiong and others at this time.
The town that was built in advance to accommodate 10,000 people looked just stupid when there were not enough people to enter.
Now that popularity has spread, everything has changed dramatically.
Just like every caravan he had received in the past ten days, everyone who came here was so shocked without exception.
Wen Da knew very well what shocked these people.
It’s not civilization, it’s not advanced, it’s not rapid development.
But order!
A kind of rules and order in the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is comparable to modern society.
"That's right. Brother Laowen has arranged it." Duan Xiong opened his mouth, but finally nodded with difficulty.
The group of people walked along the town and soon came to a two-story prefabricated house with a large area of more than 200 square meters.
He numbly signed his name according to the staff's instructions, and briefly stated the items he wanted to trade during this trip.
A light yellow transaction permit was produced and handed over.
At the top is a full-body photo of Duan Xiong himself, with the words Siping Caravan and transaction deadline engraved on the bottom.
Turn to the back and there is a big Arabic numeral "1".
"What does this 1 represent?"
"Oh, this level is the internal division of our Tianyuan Territory. According to the number and volume of transactions of the caravan with us, there will be an opportunity to re-grade or upgrade once a month. The higher the level, the more enjoyment you can enjoy in the transaction.
The greater the discount you get, the more things you can trade.”
"Is it the first time any caravan comes here?" Duan Xiong asked.
"Yes." The staff member nodded and replied without thinking.
"Thanks."
Putting away his documents, Duan Xiong stood up silently, his mind still a little dazed.
Of course he knew what the other party's purpose was.
But they were the caravans who had always chosen the traders, but here, they were picked and picked by the other side. There was even a hierarchical system to distinguish the treatment of different caravans.
"Is it possible that in addition to food, this Tianyuan territory has other good things that Fatty Liu didn't mention?"
With this thought in his mind, Duan Xiong decided not to think about it, and simply led his troops outside.
Opening the door, Wen Da, who had sent everyone here before, had disappeared, and there were no other people watching around.
It is completely different from other human territories that strictly guard against outsiders.
"Wow, this town looks really clean, much better than those pig pens we saw on the road."
"Do you smell it? I seem to smell fried chicken!"
"Fried chicken, you kid is going crazy because you want to eat meat."
"Even if there is meat, which place is willing to bring out the oil to fry it for you?"
"But the smell just doesn't taste good. Look, isn't that family just blowing up?"
"What, it seems to be true."
"Boss, can I apply to come and have a look? I've never seen any territory so open on this journey."
"Hey, there's not only fried chicken here, but there's also a clothing store over there?"
After hearing the conversation among the team members, Duan Xiong coughed and discovered the fried chicken restaurant directly on the street.
In modern society, 100% no one dares to talk about health.
But in the wasteland, it can be regarded as a "great tonic".
Sufficient calories, fresh texture, and rich protein made even him a little greedy.
"Let's go and check out the prices."
With Duan Xiong's nod of approval, the group headed straight to the "Hope Fried Chicken Restaurant", which was the first in the wasteland.
When we got closer, we could see that this fried chicken restaurant occupies a small area, about thirty square meters, and is as clean and tidy as other places in the town.
The prices are clearly marked at the door. Calculated by kilogram, a kilogram of fried chicken costs 1.2 yuan.
"Yuandian?"
Duan Xiong has long been accustomed to the fact that each territory has different currency.
But after glancing at the explanation of Yuan Dian below the signboard, he was a little surprised.
It is different from the unrestricted issuance of currency in other territories, which is distributed arbitrarily, or simply prints money out of thin air.
This Tianyuan territory is outrageous. It adopts the "meat standard".
One pound of meat corresponds to exactly one yuan point, and as many yuan points are distributed as there is meat.
It is also very easy for outsiders to exchange yuan points. They can easily complete the exchange by bringing meat that can pass the inspection.
So, under the guidance of the store clerk, the group of people walked around and arrived at another three-story prefabricated house.
Compared with the previous Ministry of Foreign Trade, which looked like a residential building, this "Tianyuan Bank" is slightly more solemn and solemn. There are even four strong armed guards standing guard at the door.
Entering the bank, the procedure for inspecting meat is not complicated.
After taking out a lot of carcasses of birds that were hunted on the road and weighing ten kilograms, Duan Xiong thought that a lot of them would be returned.
But what surprised him was that all the corpses passed the inspection and met the collection standards.
"Mr. Duan Xiong, your ten yuan points have been temporarily stored in the transaction license and will be used within thirty days. You only need to show your permission to deduct the consumption."
"Only thirty days? What if I want to keep it longer?"
"If you want to save it for a long time, you need to reach the third-level caravan level, or apply for a permanent residence in the town."
"Thanks."
After getting the permit back from the window, Duan Xiong felt more and more that his cognition was a little confused.
Who would have thought that while other places had not yet recovered their banknotes, the Tianyuan Territory already had electronic storage methods.
If this scene happened five years later, no, three years later, he would be able to accept it.
But it happened just over seven months ago.
"Hello, I haven't had time to ask what the name of the lord of our territory is?"
"Mr. Duan Xiong, you're welcome. The lord of our territory is named Chen Shen. If you want to trade valuables, you can apply for face-to-face negotiation with the lord."
"Chen Shen."
Duan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the name was not one that popped up subconsciously in his mind.
The development speed of this Tianyuan territory is simply too fast. If the outside world knows about it, it will definitely cause a storm.
And if one layer of Su Shen's buff is added, I'm afraid as soon as the news leaks out, countless crazy aliens will come to provoke and attack.
Now that a person whose name I have never heard of becomes the lord, it can actually make the Tianyuan Territory peaceful for a longer period of time.
With this in mind, Duan Xiong was not stingy after returning to the fried chicken restaurant.
I just spent the ten yuan I just got with a wave of my hand and bought ten kilograms of fried chicken.
"Eat, and work hard after eating."
Everyone was given nearly a pound of fried chicken. The team members were so satisfied that they almost bit off their lips after eating it.
But none of them would know that this scene was suddenly transmitted to another place two kilometers away from the town!
On the sofa on the third floor of the underground shelter, Sumo stretched out comfortably as he watched a dozen people devouring food on the screen.
Since the territory finally stopped pursuing the "Dark Forest" theory these days and began to rely on the several previously established channels to spread the location, the caravans arriving finally came one after another.
These people brought a lot of good things, even if they only ended up trading less than one-tenth of the total amount, it made him experience the joy of foresight for the first time.
Those notorious caravans had been screened out by him in the ruins, and they would be persuaded to return for various reasons before they even entered the territory.
The rest are naturally caravans who are willing to abide by the rules.
It doesn't require much force to guard it, and it doesn't even need a person to look after it as it is now. It can move forward and explore according to the planned route, and finally achieve the goal.
"It's a pity that the fog disaster is coming soon. Except for these caravans who know the route, it will be difficult to guide other caravans to come."
Just when Su Mo was still a little regretful that there were only two days left for the disaster to stop, Pei Shao walked down the stairs connecting the second and third floors excitedly and kept saying.
"Director, we have finally found one of the ruins you asked us to look for!"
"Found it, where is it?"
"The one you marked the gear of time."
"Adventurer. Okay, okay!"
Sumo stood up suddenly, and couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
Thanks to the boss of Ercheersanlan for the tip, thank you boss~
