My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 912 The answer is scavengers? !

A famous scientist once said that if the Fourth World War breaks out in human civilization, then the weapons used by human beings will definitely be stones and sticks.

This sentence may be a little biased, but it basically expresses the trauma of war on technology.

In the cultivation system, as long as there is a tall man who can clear the way in front, the people who follow will have the energy to keep up. Even if there is a gap in the middle, as long as there is a certain amount of data records, it is enough.

Human science and technology, however, basically relies on various basic industries that have been built step by step.

Without these industries, there would be no corresponding workers.

Before the development of fully intelligent life to replace everything, technology is rootless duckweed.

Even if someone has interstellar-level scientific and technological weapons information, at this time, it is nothing more than a pile of waste paper.

Today, this ruin from the Butterfly Universe is the best illustration.

The initial clumsy RPG, the subsequent unstable mines, and the defense facilities built with barbed wire in front of the building.

After only scanning for a while, Sumo basically got the strength of these "neighbors".

It's about the level humans on earth were at just after World War II.

He was certainly much stronger than the unarmed villagers of Hope Village, but compared to him wearing power armor.

On the contrary, it seems that the other party is the player, and he is an aborigine who traveled through hundreds of years in the future.

Soon, Sumo pushed the barbed wire aside arrogantly and arrived in front of the building.

After analyzing the traces on the walls, the various debris scattered on the ground, and the basic structure on the first floor, it can be roughly concluded that this is not a residential building.

Several broken and inexplicable bones were piled in the corner of the first floor, half buried by the sand blown by the wind.

The feces of birds and animals were left unchecked by the windows and doors, and the freshest ones were not even completely dry.

More than a dozen posters that might once have been filled with slogans are now so faded that it’s hard to see what’s written on them.

These things that have not been weathered so far write about another earth civilization and also record the civilizational war that may have occurred.

Sumo couldn't help but think of the earth that would be hit by an asteroid after everyone left.

The distant hometown of mankind may be even more tragic than here.

"anyone there?"

"We don't mean any harm, maybe we can talk!"

The loudspeaker in the helmet sounded, and from it came the two sentences that Sumo had just learned from Lu Kuan.

Unfortunately, the sound of the horn continued to echo, but no response came from upstairs.

In desperation, Sumo could only continue walking inside.

Judging from the specific details, the first floor should be a shopping mall.

Each compartment is used to sell goods, and some shelves that have not been completely smashed are hung diagonally on the wall.

With this level of damage, it was obvious that more than a few waves of people had visited here before.

Some valuable things were probably dismantled and taken away long ago.

However, these things that were looked down upon by people in the civilized era are now so poor in the wasteland.

"Good guy, there are so many aluminum alloys that no one is taking, it's so cool!" After picking up the shelves that fell on the ground and pinching them, Sumo couldn't help but shine with a glint in his eyes.

If it were ordinary aluminum, we would not know what it would look like after such a long time.

However, the last anti-oxidation procedure of aluminum alloy can avoid this problem very well.

Especially since there are no aluminum mines in the territory now, if all the shelves on this floor can be dismantled and taken away, it will definitely be a big income, enough for the village to no longer have to worry about aluminum in a short time.

On the other side, some exposed steel that is not the main support of the building looks like it can be taken away.

If it is taken back and measured to be of high purity, it can be reused.

This kind of material can be used as a raw material for manufacturing machine tools, which can solve the problems encountered in the development of basic industries in countless villages.

Keep rummaging through this junk that others don’t like.

The more he looked at it, the more uncontrollable joy appeared in Sumo's eyes.

However, at this moment, there was a scattered sound of shooting from upstairs, breaking the silence of the ruins.

Listening to the sound, there was no crackle of powerful bullets.

Basically, it is dominated by the 5mm whirring sound, occasionally mixed with a few spray-like rumbles.

"Director, they are retreating upstairs. There are many people!"

Feng Long came from behind with his men and horses, holding the drone that had just been shot down in his hand.

"There are about a hundred people, both men and women, and many children!"

"Their guns looked like rubbish, like they were made from spare parts. But the accuracy of many of them was scary. One kid shot down a drone with a slingshot."

"The two armored dogs were their trained pets and are retreating with them."

In this case, going upstairs is obviously a dead end.

As an "enemy", even if Somo ordered not to attack now, he only had to guard their escape channel below.

It won't be long before the opponent will have to try to break out due to the huge consumption of materials.

But that's exactly where the problem lies.

Since the other party would choose to use such a building as a camp, they must be fully prepared in all aspects.

Escape upward may not be a choice they made out of desperation.

Should we pursue or not?

After watching the last minute footage from the drone, I watched the panicked expressions on those people's faces.

After only a moment of hesitation, Sumo made a decision immediately.

"Exit, surround this ruins, and give our neighbors some time to get familiar with each other first."

If it was a gathering of adults, he might lead people to attack directly and eliminate hidden dangers in advance.

But these were panic survivors wearing animal skin patched clothes and holding homemade short guns.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a pure bad guy.

"When they realize that this is not the original world, maybe we can still talk about it."

The ruins composed of five buildings are temporarily called the "fifth floor area".

As Li Hu led his men, hundreds of trained militiamen quickly surrounded the building, leaving no route through which they could evacuate from the ground without being discovered.

On the periphery, more than a dozen villagers who had already taken up their posts as scavengers also came following the team after hearing the news.

Seeing the huge ruins, their faces were full of excitement and their eyes were straight.

When choosing the overall route of the territory, so-called "action points" need to be obtained by completing tasks.

The same goes for personal route selection.

To upgrade the route level to obtain more choice points, you need to complete various tasks set by the game rules in order to obtain "progress points".

Currently, each route requires 100 progress points to upgrade from Lv1 to Lv2.

Taking scavengers as an example, what they are given the most is to explore unfamiliar areas and find valuable items.

The duration, difficulty, danger and other factors of scavenging will also give progress values.

"Sure, the scavenger made the right choice."

"There are so many wild building materials. If we could pull them back, I don't know how many houses could be built."

The island nation's number one gunman shivered and took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it with the only match he had, and took a deep drag.

The smoke brewed in his mouth, calming his excited heart a little.

He has been awake all night for the past two days. He has been thinking about switching to a mechanical apprenticeship to open a factory and make money from basic industries.

But after entering the route trial, he thought clearly.

What I want to do does not conflict with the scavengers at all, but if I choose to become a mechanical apprentice, it will be difficult to explore it later.

Once those crazies who are more powerful than him in the territory are involved, he may not be able to be at the forefront based on his unilateral ability.

In this case, you might as well choose to be a scavenger and give it a try!

"Go in, don't get close to the building for now, you can explore the outside."

The militiaman in charge of summons came over and signaled that everyone could enter.

Say nothing.

A group of people rushed in with their hands empty-handed and yelled, and dug into the rubble and began to dig at it.

No complaints, not even payment.

Even Su Mo was a little surprised by such a fanatical performance.

For an ordinary job, if you only use the results to settle the remuneration, you will never be able to achieve this effect.

Now the game adds a progress bar to these tasks and gives progress values ​​as additional rewards.

The effect it brings should not be too obvious, and almost everyone should give 120% enthusiasm.

Did it study simulation games developed by people on earth?

Or is it that it has discovered that such stimulation will have better results?

When he thought that farming would also display corresponding progress bars and progress values, Sumo couldn't help but cry out in his heart.

At this time, open the game panel and enter the territory group chat.

Sure enough, many people have discovered the various tasks that appear after selecting a route, as well as the accompanying progress value panel.

Before, we were still discussing the pros and cons of various routes, but soon with the influx of more and more people, it turned into route tasks and obtaining progress values.

-

Free communication channel-

Spicy Iron Hammer: "Hey, mechanical apprentices actually have to personally participate in the production of various items related to "machines" in order to obtain progress points. Isn't this embarrassing?"

Doomsday Madman: "Fortunately, I ended up choosing a handicraft enthusiast. If others use the things I made, the progress value will also increase (呲ya)"

Fluttering moth: "Element detection, the madman brother chose the manual route, and the scope of our investigation of specific candidates has been narrowed again!"

Chicken blood is surging: "The farmer route needs to complete a series of planting operations, and finally successfully harvest the crops to obtain a large amount of progress value. It seems that the progress of our route should be the slowest in a short period of time."

Nuclear Rifle: "Be content with yourself. It's better to be more stable. The reserve soldier route still needs to fight to get points. This is a job that licks blood at the tip of a knife."

There is no one in your Gary: "What a pitfall. Why doesn't the construction apprentice gain progress points by building a house? Now I have to make various building materials to upgrade. When will this happen?"

Unearthed Bastard: "Wait a minute, didn't you say you wanted to choose the scavenger route???"

Midnight Plane: "You believe his lies. Scavengers don't even have any attribute bonus. They are so clever. How could they be willing to choose this route?"

You have no one in Gary: "Brother Airplane, please don't talk nonsense. I measured this under the supervision of my instructor, and I didn't want to choose this route myself. Besides, the territory will need a lot of construction workers in a short period of time." Is it infrastructure construction? It just so happens that after this period of time, it won’t be too late for me to go out and scavenge (funny).”

Misty Tractor: "Wait, have you noticed why no scavengers came out to speak?"

Fluttering the moth: "It's bad, no one is trying to make a fortune. I saw a lot of people leaving the village at that time (surprised)."

Wanting to eat sweets: "Hey! Don't you know, the gray mist has begun to come with things, and someone just picked up a large bag of undamaged instant noodles and brought it back."

There is no one in your Gary: "Damn??? The market judgment is wrong. If the gray fog really comes down with more and more garbage, wouldn't scavengers become the answer?"

There is no one in Gary: "Well, why don't you talk?"

There's no one left in Gary: "Damn it, aren't you just going to grab the trash?"

The free chat channel that had just become lively became quiet again in the blink of an eye.

After entering the sub-channel used by scavengers to communicate, everyone who chose other routes suddenly became jealous.

The air force will die: "On 78th South, a small number of building ruins were found 16 kilometers away. I have completed preliminary exploration. Do any brothers come to open up wasteland with me?"

Not interested in money: "Brothers, remember to bring something with you when you go out. There are mutated animals among the things that came down. If it wasn't for luck, I almost sent them away (horror)."

Holding a pickaxe in hand: "I want to spend a lot of money to buy or rent a pallet truck. Some people will contact the village gate in half an hour."

Golden Shovel: "Does anyone know a reliable friend who has chosen to serve as a reserve soldier? I found a nest of coughs. We can cooperate and share the harvest equally according to our contributions."

Picking up the richest man: "I sincerely advise everyone to act according to their ability. An announcement has been made at the entrance of the village. Now that the gray fog is coming, there is a serious shortage of manpower. If danger occurs, timely support may not be possible."

The island country’s number one gunman: “You can come to the fifth-floor area 70 kilometers south. There are five high-rise buildings of more than 20 stories here, and a lot of scattered building ruins. By the way, only scavengers can come here, otherwise you can’t Go inside and explore.”

More and more comments are appearing in the channel.

Subject to the restriction that once the route selection is completed, you cannot speak in the assigned channel.

All the people peeping at the screen were salivating with envy, but they couldn't say a single word of envy.

"No, I have to research some new ways."

Seeing more and more people leaving the village entrance, Brother Gao couldn't help but swallow his throat.

It is true that everyone can pick up garbage, but the problem is that there is no progress value at all for picking up on your own route.

If you try to compete with scavengers, you may end up falling far behind the version.

And the most important thing is that the village no longer cares about food and housing.

Those who are now running out to follow the trend will soon return to their original positions due to various practical factors.

After the first wave of scavenging passed, a large amount of materials were brought back by these people, and the market was affected.

If you have some funds at this time,

Suddenly, sporadic "rebels" began to appear in the scavenging tide.

Their destination is very unified, and it is the old mission department that has now been renamed the "General Administration of Work".
