My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Southwest of Blackstone City, in a block near the dwarf residential area.

After attending the party organized by City Lord Crespo, Hunter Tiger and his party were arranged to rest at the Public Security Bureau here.

Of course, it's called rest, but it's actually surveillance in disguise.

The reason why Kusi didn't follow could fool others, but it didn't mean that it would satisfy Crespo.

For Ji Wuming's behavior that went beyond the rules, this arrangement could be regarded as punishment.

An empty room was vacated in the center of the Sheriff's Department, and everyone was accommodated in it.

Fortunately, the internal space is large enough, and the dwarves have prepared beds according to the head of the person, so there will be no need for someone to make a bed on the floor.

But since they are all in the same room, the surveillance will naturally be stricter.

"Boss, those dwarves outside are keeping a close eye on us. They are afraid that they will treat us as enemies. They have set up surveillance in several blind spots. It seems that they are well prepared!"

Tuoba Chi stood by the window and looked at it for a while, then took the opportunity to go out to use the toilet, and came back to report worriedly.

"Unless we can turn into flies and fly out of the window, we will definitely be discovered!"

"Who said we were going out?"

Liehu was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed to relax, then he suddenly opened his eyes and sneered.

"Ah, if we don't go out, how can we install a bomb?" Tuoba Chi was a little dumbfounded.

The main purpose of their trip was to place the energy stone bombs in the storage core, and then detonate them uniformly to create chaos when they attacked.

Now that I'm being stared at so hard, it's hard to even go out to use the restroom.

Is it possible that we have to wait until the second infiltration before planting the bombs we brought?

"Put a bomb? Do you know where to put it?" Liehu twitched his lips, "You haven't even figured out what's important about this Black Stone City, so what's the use of putting it in?"

"Don't worry, it may be a little difficult to fight out here, but we are good at explosions... Wait until tomorrow, and they might take the initiative to take us where we need to go."

In fact, there were far more dwarves guarding outside the house than what Tuobachi had observed.

The blind spots were filled with manpower. The streets near the Sheriff's Department were guarded by hundreds of dwarves tonight.

In addition, dozens of pathfinding lizards used for surveillance and searches were also brought over.

Once the smell in the air deviates, the pathfinder lizard will immediately notice the difference and be exposed.

"I understand, I'll rest now."

Since Yehu has said this, it means that he must have made the best arrangements for this plan in his heart.

Tuoba Chi simply ignored the things he couldn't understand and took Pingchen to a side room to rest.

The dwarves of all nations are worthy of being a foreign race that devotes their attention to craftsmanship. Even the construction of houses has rules and regulations.

The interior is spacious with smooth air circulation, coupled with excellent thermal insulation.

Even if the outside temperature has reached minus fifteen degrees, the room can still be stable at about ten degrees above zero.

A night of silence.

I don't know if it was because I completely let go of all my thoughts last night, but my sleep quality was surprisingly good in the enemy's territory.

"Brother Chi! You seem to be in good spirits?" Ping Chen walked in carrying a washbasin.

"Is there any hot water?" Tuoba Chi yawned.

"Of course, the living habits of these dwarves are similar to ours. Not only are they prepared with hot water, but also towels..." Ping Chen said, put down the basin and went back, and after a while he came back with a box of things.

There are daily necessities inside, including toothbrushes. It seems that there is a set for everyone.

"Did you have these things when you came here before?"

Xiao Yang rummaged through the box and looked up at Ji Wuming curiously.

The latter quickly shook his head and shrugged: "To be honest, this is my first time staying here. I have always had to rush back at night before."

"They don't trust us, and we don't trust them either."

"That's strange. Judging from the size of these things, they are too big for dwarves to use."

It wouldn't be surprising if a set of daily necessities used by dwarves were given to them for use.

But now these daily necessities are obviously a few times larger, just the same size as those used by humans.

As for whether it was a temporary job, you can tell by touching the fluff on the towel.

The production time should be at least a month, otherwise it would not be able to reach this state.

"Is it possible that there are other humans cooperating with dwarves?"

Xiao Yang murmured, thoughtfully in his heart.

However, he did not say it out loud, but revealed the matter lightly.

After finishing the breakfast brought by the dwarves, the group of people walked carelessly towards the city lord's mansion.

Yesterday's banquet did not last long, and the exchanges between the two parties were only superficial.

Ji Wuming did not propose further division of interests, such as what kind of cooperation rewards would be received after providing more mineral resources.

And Crespo didn't say anything about helping him continue upward and complete his entry into Tianyuan territory.

Not surprisingly, today is the time to officially start negotiations.

When we walked out of the Sheriff's Department, the early morning dew had not completely dissipated, and there was a faint silvery white frost on the stone road.

Perhaps because the temperature has dropped too much, the huge Black Rock City seems quite deserted at this time.

On the street, occasionally a few early-rising dwarf residents hurried past.

Seeing the mountain-like hunting tiger, the dwarves were frightened, as if they had seen a monster.

Fortunately, the dwarf guards were accompanying them, so further confusion was not caused.

After a while, the envoy team arrived in front of the city lord's mansion.

This is a group of stone houses built on the mountainside. Standing in front of the courtyard gate, you can see most of the Black Stone City built on the mountain. It seems that it is the guardian here, silently watching over this land.

It's a pity that under the influence of the late spring cold, there is not much sunshine, but the city looks a bit gloomy.

Not to mention compared with Tianyuan Territory, even compared with Xijiao, it is much weaker.

"Bring people in." After waiting for a while, Crespo's order came from the city lord's palace.

A group of people moved upon hearing the sound, first passing through the place where yesterday's banquet was held, and then entering the deeper chamber.

This is a very large stone room of about 300 square meters. Inside, there are more than twenty dwarves sitting on big benches in a funny manner, working seriously in front of paperwork that is several times taller than themselves.

The central aisle is spacious and bright, leading directly to the end of the meeting hall.

There, the city lord Crespo was sitting leisurely with his legs on the table.

This scene reminds people of the Goblin Bank in Harry Potter. The position of the dwarves in the meeting hall actually shows their identity.

The dwarves outside are responsible for some basic work, while the status of the dwarves inside is more noble.

Consul Nanni was on Crespo's left hand side, with almost three times more documents in front of him than the others.

"Everyone else is busy. This guy is so comfortable. He doesn't seem to be a local." Liehu looked around and noticed some information immediately.

During yesterday's banquet, Crespo showed a more enjoyable attitude than others.

At that time, he thought this guy loved to have fun, but now it seemed that he was obviously different from the local dwarves.

Facing the team of envoys who came forward, Crespo retracted his legs and stood on the chair looking down.

If someone with a strong momentum does this, for example, a hunting tiger makes this gesture.

That might create some sense of oppression, but for a dwarf...

Who would feel oppressed by a creature about the size of a medium-sized dog standing high up?

"How well did Mr. Ji rest last night?"

Ji Wuming replied with a non-smiling smile, his behavior no different from usual.

This is the benefit of instigating rebellion.

If this was a threat to Ji Wuming coming here, it would definitely make Crespo feel something was wrong.

"We have inspected the gold mine you brought yesterday and it is of very good quality."

"I have always been rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes. The resource support Mr. Ji will receive in the next period of time will be 20% higher than usual."

Crespo said seriously, talking about the main event as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Twenty percent? I'm afraid that's not enough, right?" Ji Wuming shook his head and immediately sneered.

"If the city lord still pays this price next time, with all due respect, it will be difficult for us to help you collect more resources."

Dwarf weapons are not sold to humans, and some special devices are also subject to regulation.

The resource support Crespo mentioned was nothing more than some ordinary food supplies or inferior handguns and large and small caliber bullets that were imitated by humans.

This is really not helpful to the Red Flower Gang, which has reached the level of 200,000 people.

As soon as he finished speaking, Crespo's expression immediately turned ugly.

"Mr. Ji, can I interpret what you just said as...that you are threatening me?" A sinister smile appeared on Crespo's face.

"Then can I interpret your current words as threatening me?"

Ji Wuming didn't give Crespo any face and pushed back forcefully.

When it comes to interests, as expected, the two parties are ready to start fighting, and the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.

"We really can't give you the things you want, especially weapons. This is taboo among the dwarves. I can't break the rules just for some resources." Crespo did not hide it and said directly. .

"Even if I am a noble, if I am reported, I will still be sent to prison!"

"Then let's not talk about future cooperation. I don't need those inferior weapons." Ji Wuming twitched the corner of his mouth and spread his hands to sneer.

"It's strange. Even though your skills in making weapons are so superb, why are there so many problems with the guns you supply to us? Did you know that there are double digits of people injured in this moonlight due to bomb blasts!"

"And this is still on the training ground. Once on the battlefield, I don't know what will happen."

"Forehead..."

Crespo was speechless, the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by embarrassment.

Maybe, maybe, probably...the weapons supplied to the Red Flower Gang are really rubbish?

Thinking of this, Crespo raised his head and looked at the consul Nanni next to him.

"What's going on? Is it as serious as he said?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but I went to the foundry once, and it seems that the craftsmen responsible for casting human guns haven't even started yet."

"Damn, these stupid guys."

Crespo rolled his eyes and immediately understood what happened.

Just like they are eager to make achievements, go to a higher position, and have more rights.

Although it can be said that the dwarf craftsmen have no desires and desires, they still have the idea of ​​​​climbing up.

However, what they pursue is more advanced casting and more complex and magical techniques.

Isn't it a waste of time to spend time forging human guns?

Even if a thousand, ten thousand, or one hundred thousand of that kind of standard weapon were produced, it would not be recognized by the great craftsmen in the royal city.

Therefore, Crespo did not consider the old craftsmen when arranging the work, but directly arranged it for the new craftsmen who had just started.

Unexpectedly, these new craftsmen were so courageous and outsourced their work to uninitiated dwarf craftsmen.

No wonder there are problems. The guns made by some people may be the first finished products in their lives.

"I guarantee that the level of human weapons supplied to you in the future will definitely improve qualitatively."

Although Crespo admitted that he was in the wrong, he had no intention of bowing his head and apologizing.

The past is past. Who told these people not to mention it when they received the weapons?

"That won't work. I have to at least see the goods before I say whether they are available or not." Ji Wuming rolled his eyes and changed the topic.

Sure enough, Crespo waved his hand directly without any hesitation.

"Take them to the craftsman area and let the boss... let them observe the creation process of an entry-level craftsman."

I originally wanted to say Old Craftsman, but I thought that these guys were not afraid of him, the airborne city lord.

It's easier for new craftsmen to figure it out, especially since the supply of mineral resources will increase in the future.

If these guys want to practice mining, they must listen to him.

"Not only the forged pistols, but also the other resources supplied to me, I will check the quality today."

Ji Wuming pressed forward: "As long as the quality can pass the standard, we can still talk about cooperation. If we continue to fool around like that, I think the city lord should hire someone else."

"Okay, no problem. I just have time today. I'll have someone take you around every place."

Crespo agreed without thinking, without feeling any problem at all.

Moreover, the group of people behaved very well under surveillance last night and did not show any abnormality.

"It's done!"

As soon as he left the meeting hall, Xiao Yang, who had listened to the whole process, immediately translated the conversation just now.

As Tuoba Chi and He Chen looked at each other in confusion, Liehu showed a smile calmly, as if he had everything under control.

...
