My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

After learning the identity of the other party, the ragged survivors could not help but be stunned.

They stood under the door of the restaurant, looking at the interior through the gap with complicated eyes.

Wow.

The crackling sound of stir-frying came from the inside, and the aroma of oil was mixed with a hint of wild vegetable fragrance, which made the guards standing at the door swallow unconsciously.

At this point in time, there are indeed not many gathering places that can use oil and meat.

The fact that the Mining Island Alliance is willing to use such food to entertain is enough to prove their enthusiasm and attention.

"If there is nothing else, leave quickly. These two people are honored guests. You can't afford to disturb them."

After receiving the bribe, the guards were willing to communicate for a few words, but it did not mean that he could allow this group of people to enter the restaurant and contact with outsiders.

There are indeed many survivors in the gathering place who want to climb up the ladder, and many people have similar ideas.

They are unwilling to be ordinary, but they themselves do not have the ability to change their fate.

Therefore, they have to find some survivors with great potential to follow in order to change their own destiny.

However, some people have a keen eye for talent and choose those who are still insignificant.

But some people don't know what to do, and they will only be tempted when they see who is obviously stronger.

For example, the few people who just came to inquire about the news are the latter in the eyes of the guards.

In Tiantie Island, in the entire Mining Island Alliance, nothing is more important than rules.

If they are allowed to pass, it is equivalent to breaking the rules.

So, being monitored by the guards throughout the process, the few people could only turn their heads and leave with a little reluctance.

They didn't have the courage to provoke this group of wolf-like guards.

In the past few days, it's not that no one has set their sights on the Mining Island Alliance.

But the result is without exception. Any force that dares to provoke has paid a heavy price. Even two alien tribes were almost beaten through their nests by the army of miners they entangled.

Walking around the corner, several people stood in the shadows.

"Boss, there is obviously something wrong with this group of people. How can they be our people?"

A short man opened his mouth and said.

Completely different from the mental outlook of the residents of Tiantie Island, the man's face was thin, his complexion was dull, his eyes were sunken, revealing fatigue and gloom.

At this time, his thin lips moved up and down while speaking, bringing out a hint of obvious dissatisfaction and resentment.

From Mengyue Territory?

Is this a lie?

The guard member didn't know that the person who just handed him the steamed bun was Lu Guangyin, the lord of Mengyue Territory!

Well, to be precise, it should be the former lord.

Before the disaster of the three cold springs came, Lu Guangyin was afraid that his decision to order the planting of rice would be torn apart by a group of angry survivors, so he had to flee with supplies and confidants.

But it still fulfilled the saying that those who are righteous have many helpers, and those who are unrighteous have few helpers.

The confidant team of nearly a hundred people had a serious internal disagreement on the way of escape because of different ideas.

Lu Guangyin advocated fleeing to a large gathering place and seeking a chance to make a comeback with the supplies in hand.

Another part of the people planned to take the supplies in hand and entangle a group of survivors to start from scratch.

The two sides' ideas were diametrically opposed, so there was no room for easing.

Although they didn't fight in the end, more than half of them chose to go their separate ways, and took away a lot of the materials they brought with them, indirectly destroying Lu Guangyin's dream of a comeback.

Therefore, with the remaining batch of materials and a few dozen confidants, Lu Guangyin could only choose the Mining Island Alliance as a temporary shelter.

When the situation becomes clearer, he will prepare to go to a large gathering place.

However, just now, the rumor that a large iron boat came to the dock set off the entire Tiantie Island.

Realizing that this might be a hard-won opportunity, Lu Guangyin almost immediately brought people to find it.

But unfortunately...

"It may be an excuse to hide their identity. They are certainly not from the Mengyue Territory."

Lu Guangyin, who was stared at by several eyes, shook his head.

He stood there, his body was more hunched than before, and his sharp eyes were full of red bloodshot, as if they were stained with fatigue and suffering.

His face had long lost its former rosy and luster, replaced by a gray and vicissitudes.

His originally neat hair, which had just been hurriedly groomed, still looked messy like chicken feathers, and even a few strands of white hair could be seen hidden in it, which was completely absent in the past.

Recalling more than half a month ago, Lu Guangyin was still a majestic lord, with more than 100,000 people under his command, and always surrounded by a group of loyal confidants.

At that time, he was full of vigor and energy, as if the whole world was under his control.

But now, standing in the crowd, although Lu Guangyin is still trying to maintain that majesty, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is seriously lacking in confidence.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Lu Guangyin pondered for a moment, and took the lead to walk towards the small courtyard where he had been stationed these days.

What is certain is that the other party has absolutely nothing to do with Mengyue Territory.

Even if they are newcomers who joined these days, the iron boat is not something that Mengyue Territory can make.

But... why would the other party use Mengyue Territory to cover up their identity?

Lu Guangyin's mind was a little confused. He lowered his head and thought, but he still couldn't figure it out until he stepped into the courtyard.

After a while, the people who were sent to other places to inquire about the news returned one after another.

Especially those who went to the dock, they chattered excitedly as soon as they came back and closed the door.

"Boss, that iron boat is so majestic, damn, it's almost 10 meters long!"

"There are so many people watching, it's a pity that we can't go over to touch it and take a look."

"There are also weapons, and cannons. They actually set up a cannon on the ship!"

"What cannon? It's called a naval gun, but judging from the caliber, it shouldn't be large, and it's mostly for deterrence."

"There are also shooting holes on the hull. This group of people is too fierce. You can tell at a glance that they came from a large gathering place."

"I don't know which gathering place it is. I haven't found out where they came from, and there is no flag on the ship."

"..."

For this vehicle that is almost invincible on the water, a group of people's faces flushed with excitement.

They originally planned to find such a large gathering place to live, and the gathering place with this iron boat is obviously the best target now.

After all, the opponent only has this iron boat, and the entire mining island alliance may not be able to take it down even if all the wooden boats are dispatched.

The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious. Many survivors who had planned to settle here before are likely to be tempted.

"By the way, Boss, have you found out which territory they are from?"

"I didn't expect that there is such a territory in our southern Fire Region. I thought there were small territories around."

"Hey, join them. I also want to get on board and show off."

"Shut up!" A group of people chattered non-stop. Lu Guangyin rubbed his temples with a headache and swore a rare word.

"Damn it, you asked me where I am from. Do I have to tell you that this group of people are from Mengyue Territory?"

"Ah?"

At first, everyone thought Lu Guangyin was angry and cursed casually.

But soon after someone explained, the people who had just spoken looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter.

"Ah? They are from our territory? No way?"

"Is this true? When will our Mengyue territory be able to build iron boats? No, we haven't even built a workshop to smelt iron ore?"

"Is this true? You just keep asking questions every day. People say they are from Mengyue territory. Does it matter whether it is true or not?"

"Why are you scolding me? I am just curious. If they are really from our territory, maybe we can go back..."

"Are you looking for death? You forgot that you escaped and want to die when you go back?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Seeing that there was a trend of fighting in the yard again, Lu Guangyin had to stand up and waved his hand down to ease the atmosphere.

"We're out now, so don't talk anymore. If we go back, we're not in a situation where we can't survive."

"And since this group of people use the name of our Mengyue Territory instead of their own territory, it means that their goal of this trip must not be a simple ore trade. I'm afraid they have other plans..." Lu Guangyin guessed secretly, and he had actually thought of a possibility just now.

"Old Xu, do you think there is a possibility...they actually..."

Facing an older middle-aged man beside him, Lu Guangyin made a circle with his right hand and inserted his left index finger into it.

He then pointed to the ground and pointed to the exit direction of the mining island with his mouth.

"Well, you mean..." Old Xu, who was named by Lu Guangyin, was stunned, his expression became solemn, and his eyes revealed a trace of suspicion and deep thought.

Trading and communicating in the wasteland requires extreme caution.

Generally speaking, when foreign forces go to the Mining Island Alliance for transactions, they either choose to hide themselves completely and send a few survivors to inquire about the situation in a low-key manner, or send people to enter in a high-profile official manner, adhering to the principles of integrity and openness, and will not choose to hide their heads and show their tails.

This is even more true for large forces. Their representatives walking outside are often open and aboveboard and will not deliberately hide their identities, because this not only helps to demonstrate their strength and influence, but also increases trust in transactions and paves the way for subsequent cooperation.

However, now this group of outsiders with iron boats, their strength is so strong, but strangely they choose to hide their identities...

This makes Lu Guangyin begin to guess the other party's true purpose.

"Could their goal be... the Mining Island Alliance?" Lu Guangyin said clearly.

Many forces have previously thought about this mineral-rich area, but unfortunately no one has succeeded.

The reason is that the survivors and miners here have a terrible fighting will, which cannot be generalized by common sense.

Even if the other party has this kind of iron boat that is invincible on water, it may not be able to land and win the battle.

But if the other party changes their approach and infiltrates from the inside...

"What do you plan to do? Actually, no matter what we guess now, it's useless. Whether that group plans to invade the Mining Island Alliance or has other ideas, we are just a group of outside survivors and can't affect anything."

Old Xu pondered and said helplessly.

Don't look at the fact that there are still more than 20 people willing to follow Lu Guangyin.

But no matter when, as long as there are people, there will be different levels and different factions.

Lu Guangyin is the radical of this small group, while Old Xu is the representative of the conservatives.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I have to observe and find out their purpose." Lu Guangyin said.

"But since we know the news, we can't just sit there and wait for them to do things outside under our banner. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will have to wait."

In fact, deep down, Lu Guangyin still couldn't accept that he had fallen from a lord of a large territory with more than 100,000 people to his current miserable state in just half a month.

Especially now that the other party is under the banner of Mengyue Territory, it's like uncovering his scar that has finally healed, exposing the dark and rotten flesh underneath to the eyes of others again, and the dark memories intertwined by failure, loss and humiliation are cruelly displayed again.

The strong sense of humiliation, like a sharp thorn, deeply penetrated his heart.

He was very unwilling.

It's not just because of the huge gap from the height that made him suffer every moment.

It's the envy and yearning that flashed in the eyes of the guards when they said the four words "Mengyue Territory".

They actually want to go to Mengyue Territory?

What a joke in hell.

"That's fine. We can do anything. There are so many of us who do nothing and eat so much every day. No matter how much supplies we have, they will be used up one day." Lao Xu thought about it and nodded heavily. The two hit it off.

If you don't talk about money, do you talk about feelings?

If it weren't for Lu Guangyin's smart mind, he could always come up with all kinds of crooked ideas.

They wouldn't have chosen to continue to follow Lu Guangyin to this mining island alliance in the previous internal strife.

"Come on, a few people, go and monitor them for me. They need new faces who haven't been out for a few days."

"Go to the dock, and keep a close eye on them. Keep an eye on any contact with local residents." Lu Guangyin ordered repeatedly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

In fact, what he wanted to do most was to rob the other party's iron boat and then drive the boat as a pirate.

When he robbed enough supplies, he would probably be able to get a good deal of the news.

At that time, he would retire with a large amount of supplies and money, and live in those large territories.

There is both security guarantee and a sufficient standard of living.

But unfortunately, the twenty-odd people combined couldn't even gather ten guns. Wouldn't they be killed if they rushed forward?

"Tiantie Island... The manager surnamed Sun is too kind-hearted and will never accomplish anything great."

"Let's go to the nearby Shuima Island and find the one surnamed Wu. He must be interested in this iron boat and the gathering place behind it."

"The one surnamed Wu? That guy is a ruthless person. Aren't you afraid that he will eat us up?" Lao Xu hesitated.

"What are you afraid of? Before he wants to eat us, he has to consider whether his teeth are tough."

"Come here, I have another plan..."

...
