Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 244 Blooming everywhere

The long and narrow body of the Explorer 9 airship slid slowly through the air. Even if its propulsion speed reached 150 kilometers with a tailwind, its speed was still too slow for the vast sky. As long as you stand

Underground, it will not leave your sight for at least twenty minutes, it is as slow as a snail.

It's just that the speed of 150 kilometers per hour is a bit scary on the ground. Not many cars can reach this speed on the highway. They usually keep driving between 80 and 120 kilometers per hour. Don't underestimate this 30 kilometers.

The speed difference, when you hit the emergency brake, you will understand that this small 30 kilometers is the difference between life and death.

The Explorer 9 airship is moving from east to west, with mountains and mountains below. In this November day, it is still green, and there is no breath of winter at all.

On the airship pod, several explorers were lying on the window, pointing at the mountains and forests below, and making comments of their own from time to time. For people who were accustomed to the wilderness weather and scenery a month ago, they had just seen

These endless mountains and green trees will inevitably produce a kind of friendly beauty. But once you get used to the mountains, rivers and green grass here, you will understand that in fact, the dry climate in the wasteland and the endless exhausted plants

That's the real concern in my heart.

"Li Bin, are you homesick?" Wei Zhengyang was playing with a delicate small stone in his hand. The green and green stripes were clear and smooth. This was a small discovery he made during his exploration. He has been fond of collecting stones since he was a child.

, of course I won’t let it go. From the moment I got it, I never let go of it. I always like to play with it when I have nothing to do. People don’t understand, can a stone have such great charm?

As his name suggests, Li Bin has a very feminine appearance. He is called a pretty boy and a sissy by the entire exploration team. But don’t underestimate him. His fighting skills are very powerful. In the entire exploration team, when it comes to close combat, no one has the best fighting skills.

He was his opponent. When he heard Wei Zhengyang's question, he laughed: "Guard, who doesn't miss home? The spacious suite on the twenty-seventh floor has a bird's eye view of the entire West District from the balcony. Who doesn't feel this way?"

Miss you?"

"Yeah..." Wei Zhengyang sighed lightly, "Although this new home was only given to us a month ago and we left, it is still our sustenance. But we are back now, aren't we? This time

It took a month to travel, but at least the harvest was huge."

Speaking of this, Li Bin became excited and said: "Guard, do you think we can successfully get the Exploration Medal?"

Wei Zhengyang laughed confidently and said: "Isn't it already stipulated in the exploration regulations? There is no doubt that we have achieved it far. I believe that we will definitely get the first batch of exploration medals."

He thought that this exploration experience could be said to be extremely difficult, and the dangers involved would be unforgettable.

Wei Zhengyang turned his head and looked at the members in the pod. Of the sixteen explorers, only eleven could actually return home. Five team members lay on this road of exploration forever. Among them, some died.

Zombies have died at the hands of humans. Even in the end of the world, there are still some extreme existences among the surviving humans. The harsh living conditions have caused some people to degenerate. Their lives are basically the same.

A tragedy.

Fortunately, not everyone is like this. During this exploration, we also encountered many enthusiastic settlements. The appearance of Wei Zhengyang and others was full of joy and joy.

The airship slid through the air and soon left the mountains behind. The green in the distance began to gradually decrease, and further away, patches of green and yellow vegetation appeared. This scene is a reminder.

The people on the airship are about to leave the overlapping mountains and enter a wilderness area.

This news also made the explorers on the airship who were returning home cheer excitedly.

As the captain of the Exploration 9 airship, Luo Zhiqun said at the right time: "Everyone, we have about two hours to return to our home." The explorers who heard this were even more happy and gave high-fives one by one.

Laughing happily.

Before entering the wasteland, there is a second-tier city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately, when passing through this area, the exploratory airship stayed here for two days and found no traces of human activities. It must have escaped.

Or maybe none of them escaped. This second-tier city seemed to mark a line of defense, with millions of zombies wandering at the junction of the mountains and the wasteland.

Wei Zhengyang looked worriedly at the dense group of zombies below. Although they seemed to be more than 300 kilometers away from Qingyuan City, no one could guarantee whether these zombies would pose a threat to Qingyuan City. It was not Wei Zhengyang

I'm worried, but there are too many zombies down there. There are tens of millions of zombies, and even the powerful chamber of commerce cannot match them.

An unmanned reconnaissance aircraft roared past in the distance. It seemed to have discovered the Discovery 9 airship. It swooped down from the high altitude and passed over the huge airbag of the airship.

"Look, our Chamber of Commerce's unmanned reconnaissance drone..."

The explorers on the airship became excited and kept waving towards the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from the window. The colorful umbrellas were so friendly and peaceful that people couldn't help but feel like they had found home. There was no one there.

The appearance of the reconnaissance plane also means that the area here has been included in the reconnaissance of the Chamber of Commerce Intelligence Department, and the zombies here should have been discovered.

When we actually entered the wilderness, the temperature suddenly rose, and the sense of familiarity made the explorers, who had been away from home for a month, unable to help but shed tears.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. When Qingyuan City appeared in front of everyone like a giant, everyone was extremely excited.

Every airship, fighter plane, and helicopter will have the mark of the Chamber of Commerce and be equipped with an identification system. Two communication platform airships and a special function airship are performing communications at an altitude of 20,000 meters in Qingyuan City.

It also acts as a radar. As long as an air target comes within 200 kilometers of Qingyuan City, the radar can show that it is a friend or foe, thereby notifying the relevant departments of the Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as the Discovery 9 airship approached Qingyuan City, a Sha-1 helicopter quickly approached, and through the connected communicator, the other party's voice of welcome home could be heard.

Under the guidance of the helicopter, the exploration airship quickly hovered at the designated airport dedicated to exploration airships in Qingyuan City. When Wei Zhengyang and the others came back, there were already more than a dozen exploration airships parked at the airport, and the sky

Among them, there are two exploration airships that arrived almost at the same time. Under the tow of the helicopter, they are slowly landing on their special landing pad according to the airship number.

As the explorers returned one after another, the entire exploration department began to become busy and lively.

Compared with the airship exploration team, the ground exploration team returns the earliest, sometimes taking a few days, a week, or half a month. The main reason is that the food and fuel they carry are not enough to support their exploration for a long time.

Behavior.

The biggest contribution of the ground exploration team is that they brought huge amounts of raw materials to the entire chamber of commerce. Hundreds of ground exploration teams discover huge amounts of raw materials every day. Their main targets are small towns, and also

There are some raw material origins.

As for the situation in the wasteland, through the continuous efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, the number of zombies is getting smaller and smaller. In many towns, even zombies have long disappeared. It should be that they left the town for some reason and wandered to unknown places.

Towns like this that are not guarded by zombies are also the favorites of ground exploration troops. Usually, raw materials and supplies in small towns are very abundant, and the distribution is very considerable.

Once there is such a town, after you find it, you can call the Chamber of Commerce and report the coordinates. It won't take long for a transport airship or helicopter to appear. Everything next will naturally be handled by the Chamber of Commerce.

Everything in the entire town is calculated, and after the results are obtained, the explorers who discover it will be rewarded in accordance with the exploration regulations.

There are also ground exploration troops whose targets are known mineral veins and some small coal mining areas. These play a very important role in the sustainable development of the Chamber of Commerce. Once discovered, they will naturally attract the attention of the Chamber of Commerce.

Circle it into the development list.

But these are just the small heads. The real big head lies in the airship exploration team. Their main goal is the area of ​​human activity.

Each airship exploration team has a different direction, and the exploration area is also different. Some bold ones will even go beyond the 600-kilometer communication distance of the entire chamber of commerce and enter areas that even the intelligence department does not control.

As Xu Yuhai said, humans are forced by zombies to retreat to plateaus, wastelands, deserts and cold places. For example, in subtropical zones and coastal areas, there are no traces of human activities near coastal areas.

It is this characteristic that has undoubtedly reduced the scope of exploration by explorers. For example, the plateau is a place more suitable for human survival than the wasteland. In addition, it used to be sparse and smokeless, so naturally there were a large number of settlements.

land.

The most important discovery of the airship exploration team is the Lanxi Plateau, where human settlements are like forests and vary in size. Although they do not form a unified political power, they exist in the form of alliances.

There are at least two to three million people living in the entire Lanxi Plateau. They have reclaimed the land on the plateau and built relatively primitive towns and villages. Because it is an alliance, their army is formed from multiple settlements to deal with them together.

A group of zombies appeared on the plateau.

After several years of accumulated experience, people have long understood zombies. As long as they can detect the gathering of zombies in advance, it is easy to deal with them. They can be annihilated or dispersed before they become large enough, using lures and other means.

Destroy their formation. If their dynamics cannot be discovered in advance, once a zombie swarm is formed, it will be very terrifying, and a huge price is often required to prevent them from penetrating the plateau.

The entire Lanxi Alliance showed a kind of friendship towards the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce, which was more than 700 kilometers away.

Years of war with zombies, as well as their alliance's experience of mutual assistance, have made the entire Lanxi Alliance understand that only by helping each other and uniting with each other can they survive in this sky and resist the pursuit of zombies.

Especially now, the center of gravity of the zombies has also begun to move inland along with the footprints of humans. When the situation becomes more severe, uniting all forces that can be united is the purpose of the Lanxi Alliance.

After three and a half years of development, the Lanxi Plateau has become very complete. Of course, the people here live and work in peace and contentment, busy working in patches of farmland every day. The gradually developed villages and towns allow them to not worry about food and housing. The only thing

The disadvantage may be that the industry is very backward, people's living standards are not very high, and materials are very scarce.

This situation is also expected. After all, it is a settlement completely built on a pure white plateau. Everything is created from scratch. In a short period of time, it is already very large to be able to eat enough and have a house to live in.

has changed.

For commercial areas, like the Lanxi Alliance, it is impossible to attract them through advertisements like the Hedong area. Because they can have enough food and housing, and the population is very large, and they will not be affected by zombies.

In addition, the distance from the Chamber of Commerce is 700 to 800 kilometers, which is indeed too far, and even if you have the intention, you can't do it.

However, the Chamber of Commerce has no such thoughts about the Lanxi Alliance. At present, the Chamber of Commerce cannot support a larger population. The six to seven million people added to the Heju area are already overwhelming for the Chamber of Commerce, and the food reserves are depleted very quickly.

, if the harvest was not imminent, the Chamber of Commerce would definitely go bankrupt because of the food.

The Chamber of Commerce needs at least half a year to buffer before it can propose a population plan again.

As long as the current population of more than 1.1 million people is utilized well, the cultivated land around Qingyuan City can definitely be reclaimed. A large number of agricultural machinery will be rolled out from the armor manufacturing factory, and they will bring the entire chamber of commerce into the era of mechanized agriculture.

, planting all the cultivated areas around Qingyuan City with crops.

For the Lanxi Plateau, the goal of the Chamber of Commerce is to use the Chamber of Commerce's strong industrial system and abundant materials to exchange for crystals, gold, silver, diamonds, and various raw materials in their hands. The most abundant thing on the Lanxi Plateau is iron ore.

There is coal burning. This is very important to the Chamber of Commerce. It can be foreseen that the Chamber of Commerce will definitely launch a powerful trade offensive on the Lanxi Plateau.

In addition to this biggest discovery, exploration teams in the south and east also discovered a large number of settlements with different populations.

As the Exploration Department synthesizes all the exploration information, a brand new apocalyptic map is drawn. It will clarify the areas where zombies are located, as well as the areas where human activities are located, which places have a large number of zombies and are attacking fiercely, and which places are not.

Zombies, or a small number of zombies, will be marked on the map, showing all the surrounding activities to the Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, in real terms, the value of intelligence is far greater than others. Once this map is completed, its strategic significance will become very important. For the future layout of the Chamber of Commerce, there are also key points of defense, and which areas need attention.

, of immeasurable value.

The unknown about the apocalypse in the past is now clearly revealed in front of people with the efforts of the explorers and the intelligence agencies. It seems that the terror caused by the unknown and confusion in the past has also appeared in front of people.

With the appearance of this brand new strategic map, everything disappears. The unknown is the scariest thing. Knowing it makes people feel relieved.

In order to commend the explorers for their outstanding contributions to the Chamber of Commerce, after review by the Exploration Department, the first batch of explorers to receive the Exploration Medal was finally determined.

Looking at the hundreds of explorers standing in the huge ceremonial hall of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Zhou Yuanqiang was also slightly excited. Their contribution was of great strategic significance to the Chamber of Commerce. Today they can get this explorer.

The medal is what they get for their hard work and risking their lives, and it is also a recognition of them.

Exploration medals are divided into three categories, the lowest is the leaf-shaped Exploration Medal, the middle-level is the flower-shaped Exploration Medal, and the highest level is the umbrella-shaped Exploration Medal.

Although the highest award today is only the flower-shaped Exploration Medal, Zhou Yuanqiang believes that as long as these young explorers are given more time, the highest honor of the Umbrella Exploration Medal will not be a dream. At least at the beginning, someone can

Getting the Flower Exploration Medal is the best explanation.

Zhou Yuanqiang can no longer remember how many times he has been awarded medals. The previous ones include the Army Medal, the Citizen Medal, and the Air Force Medal. Those who have received honors have all made outstanding contributions. They are definitely members of the Chamber of Commerce.

The elites here have made indispensable contributions to the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

Although the first phase of the exploration plan is over, Zhou Yuanqiang believes that the second phase of the exploration plan can be implemented soon. By then, more exploration airships will be put into use, the scope of exploration will be larger, and the goal of exploration will be

There will be more. Not only domestic, but also foreign countries will be included in the second phase of the exploration plan.

Just what is the situation abroad?

I'm afraid no one can answer this at the moment. I haven't taken everything into consideration, and it is indeed beyond the reach of foreign countries. Even if foreign countries have richer resources, better industrial systems, and stronger scientific and technological crystallization. But these...

It's not something that the Chamber of Commerce can do right now.

However, the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce, the words "prepare for a rainy day", has always been hung at the entrance and exit of every department, reminding every employee of the Chamber of Commerce at all times.
