My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

"Quick, go and check for me how many people are planting rice in the territory. These greedy gambling dogs are really killing people!"

"Guard, guard, maintain order. I don't want to see any riots."

"Hurry up and announce it to me. The residents who planted rice will be compensated, and the territory will definitely be responsible for sharing their future material pressure!"

"You asked me what to do, and I also want to ask you what to do. How about you become the lord?"

"Don't panic, don't panic, we can wait until the temperature drops and switch to wheat!"

""

The sudden announcement shattered the tranquility of the afternoon.

It wasn't just the ordinary survivors from each territory who got into chaos and captured the World Channel.

The lords who adhered to the principle of 'Build the wall high, accumulate food widely, and slowly claim the title of king' were uncontrollably panicked at this time.

Except for some lords who have strong control and foresight, they will strictly control the types of planting.

More than 80% of the territory is left to the residents to freely make their own choices.

Compared with wheat, although rice has obvious disadvantages in the wasteland, it has an absolute advantage.

Yield!

Rice ears are larger than wheat ears, with more spikes and more fruit. The number of grains per panicle is generally more than 70-80.

In contrast, wheat has many flowers but low seed setting rate, generally only 20-40 grains.

Moreover, the growth cycle of rice is relatively short. It usually only takes about three months to complete the entire growth cycle from germination to fruiting.

For some gambling dogs who always want to gain the most gains at the greatest risk, the yield gap of at least 30% between rice and wheat and the shorter harvest cycle are naturally worth their while.

Mengyue territory is located in the southern fire domain plate.

As one of the territories with a rice planting rate of over 80%, before the announcement was issued, this place was like a paradise independent of the wasteland, far away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and beautiful.

The sun shines through the blue sky and white clouds, shining on the rice buds that have just poked their heads out of the soil.

The freshly turned soil exudes a light fragrance, as if you are in a natural oxygen bar, which is refreshing.

Among the rice fields, the cheerful figures of the survivors shuttled among them. They were holding hoes, wooden shovels and other tools, and they were busy in the fields without stopping for a moment.

Although there was sweat on their faces from exhaustion, everyone's eyes were full of anticipation and joy for the autumn harvest.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the disaster announcement was issued, all this became a thing of the past in an instant!

"What, disaster has struck again. Damn it, the temperature is going to drop to minus 30 degrees. What will happen to our rice?"

A trembling and fearful voice suddenly sounded from the ground. The speaker's face was extremely pale, obviously unable to accept this cruel reality.

"Oh my god, go check it out on the World Channel. At this temperature, all the rice will freeze to death!"

"How is it possible? I, I don't believe it!"

"It's true. Disaster is coming in seven days. All our rice fields will be destroyed!"

The voices became one.

More and more exclamations appeared as if they were trying to resist this completely unacceptable fact.

However, the reality is cruel. The local survivors rushed to the main road, but they could only see other survivors who looked as panicked as them.

Under natural disasters, everyone becomes an ant.

Obviously, they made an important mistake!

"Don't panic, everyone should return to their own areas. Trust the territory. We will take action immediately. Maybe there will be a turnaround!"

The person in charge of the surrounding rice fields also rushed out, holding a simple loudspeaker and loudly trying to calm everyone down.

However, his words did not have much effect, and angry voices sounded next:

"Go away, you are coaxing a child. My whole family is waiting for the rice to be cooked. Can you shoulder the responsibility?"

"Action, you know how to act every day, you xx are acting, how should you act when it's thirty degrees below zero!"

"It's all the fault of this beast Lu Guangyin for his xing. He made us all grow rice. He should be held responsible now!"

"You are crazy. If Lord Lu hears it, you are afraid you will be caught in the dungeon."

"Am I crazy? I think you are crazy. Without the next food, people will eat people here soon!"

"You're right, are you still there? This layman, I have been unhappy with you for a long time. You are here to point fingers every day. Do you think you are Su Shen?"

"Go away, go away, we are going to find Lu Guangyin and get back the supplies we handed over before."

The angry curses were like a fuse, instantly igniting the anger in the hearts of the survivors.

Everyone began to accuse and attack each other, and the situation was getting out of control.

Even some of the guard members who maintained order lost their usual composure when they heard that the coming autumn harvest would be completely destroyed.

Crowds of people came from all directions, gathered together, and poured into the center of the territory like a black cloud.

Mengyue County!

However, what everyone didn't know was that the "wise" Lord Lu had already made a decision from the moment the announcement was made.

"Quick, we must move the supplies before they come. As much as we can move, and the rest that can't be taken away, throw it out for them to grab!"

From the open material warehouse, bags of flour and rice were carried out, put on trucks and hauled away.

The air was filled with tension and confusion. Occasionally, food was knocked scattered on the ground, but no one was willing to stop and pick it up. They just stepped on it in a hurry, leaving debris all over the ground.

The poor survivors are still arguing over how to save the rice fields, unaware that their lord has made such a selfish decision.

"Guard, guard, stop them!"

"What, you asked me how to stop them, of course you are lying to them. Could it be that you want to tell these people that the supplies in the supply warehouse are only enough to support everyone's consumption for a month?"

"If you want to live, follow me. If you want to stand up for those people, you can come and beat me to death now."

Lu Guangyin's words were full of threats and provocations, and his eyes swept across everyone present like a wolf, including Xi Ruyue, who was standing in the corner with a disappointed face.

Any choice has a price. Since Mengyue Territory lost the bet, it should pay the price.

Now, everyone can make new choices.

Either stay on the front line with the group of survivors and face the coming threats of severe cold and hunger.

Either follow him and evacuate with the supplies, and go to another place to start over again with your life.

"Ruyue, if you want to stay, I can leave half of the supplies to you."

"Even my position as lord can be given to you!"

It seemed that his scalp was numb from being stared at by Xi Ruyue. Lu Guangyin coughed lightly, seemingly making a concession, but in fact he was secretly digging a hole.

After her brilliant performance in Wanjing's main competition, Xi Ruyue has now become one of the signatures of Mengyue Territory.

It is precisely because of her good relationship with the human God Su that many newcomers to the territory are willing to hand over supplies honestly and strictly follow the rules of the territory.

Lu Guangyin knew this well, so he tried to use Xi Ruyue's influence to pave the way for his plan.

If she could be persuaded to stay, it would at least hold off the disgruntled survivors for a while.

Many people may even choose to stay with Xi Ruyue, providing him with valuable space to escape with supplies.

The atmosphere in the warehouse became extremely tense, and even the guards moving the supplies were cautious, for fear of disturbing this key negotiation.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xi Ruyue, as if waiting for her to make a decision.

"Two thirds." A firm female voice broke the silence, her tone extremely decisive.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it." Lu Guangyin subconsciously planned to defend himself, but he reacted in the next second, and his face suddenly showed an unconcealable joy.

If he was caught escaping with supplies, there would be no laws in the wasteland to protect his safety.

If you think about it better, you can still leave a whole body.

But if the anger of the people who were deceived by him into growing rice could not be quelled, they might be torn into pieces.

"Okay, two-thirds is two-thirds, I'll only take one-third."

"Forget it, the rest is yours."

Glancing at the supplies that had already been loaded onto several carts outside, Lu Guangyin didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly left with his confidants.

Faintly, he could already hear noises in the distance.

If we stay here for a while longer and are surrounded by that group of people, even if they have guns in their hands, they may not be able to break through.

"Ruyue, you are too impulsive, leaving this is a dead end!"

Chu Chaofei, who hurried over after getting the news, just took a look at the supply warehouse and guessed it.

There are now nearly 600,000 people in Mengyue Territory, and the amount of supplies needed every day is astronomical.

Even if many people hide some in private, they will definitely not be able to sustain the autumn harvest together with these in the supply warehouse.

"Impulsive, maybe."

Glancing at the crowd rushing towards her outside the city, Xi Ruyue sniffed, her nervous hands and feet feeling a little cold.

"There are many people there who are here for our reputation and Su Shen's reputation."

"If we follow Lu Guangyin now, wouldn't it prove to everyone that Su Shen was wrong about us?"

Chu Chaofei was speechless.

Once you have experienced the benefits of fame, you will naturally be trapped by it.

"Besides, where can we go by walking?"

In the final analysis, there is still no way to go. After all, there are many territories where rice is planted in the Southern Fire Territory. This disaster will definitely cause the entire sector to fall into chaos for a period of time.

"We can go to Su Shen's territory. Haven't you wanted to leave here for a long time?"

At the mention of leaving, Chu Chaofei's eyes lit up and he suddenly spoke.

But the next second, his eyes that had just brightened quickly dimmed again, obviously thinking of the current situation.

If Sumo knew that they had fled to Tianyuan territory to leave this mess behind.

The consequences of this are no less than that of Lu Guangyin rushing into an angry crowd with supplies and shouting.

"But you were half right."

Xi Ruyue was silent for a while, shrugged her shoulders.

"Actually, I've been thinking about this since before I came back, but unfortunately I never had the chance."

"I don't know if this is the right choice, but now this should be the only way I can think of to save them!"

No coincidence.

The scene that happened in Mengyue Territory was also played out in hundreds of territories.

The rise of these lords from the early days of the wasteland does not mean that they have the ability to match their luck.

In fact, most lords are not fully prepared and aware of their powers and responsibilities.

There are too many people trying to find their own position in this new world full of unknowns and dangers, even just for their own personal interests.

In fact, from the perspective of survival, there is no need to establish such a vast territory in the New World.

If we can centralize power, share risks, and hand over the future to those who are truly responsible and capable.

Perhaps the threat posed by the disaster will not be as deadly as it is now.

"The painful period of transformation is indeed unavoidable, both now and in the future."

Standing on the terrace on the first floor of the shelter, Sumo tightened his collar and felt an inexplicable chill.

Some incidents that cause large numbers of casualties can be avoided by preparing in advance.

But the principles of survival that require sacrifice to understand now require solid real-life education.

As long as frequent natural disasters continue, there will be no peace in the wasteland.

All the flowers and flowers and all the good situations may be wiped out overnight.

"The next task is to expand the alliance's scope of influence and recruit as many people as possible."

"Five million. Before the end of the year, we must gather at least five million survivors to continue to remain competitive!"

His eyes glanced at the wide river that was under construction in the distance, intending to bypass the town and go to the western suburbs.

Somo tapped his index finger lightly on the stainless steel guardrail, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

By the end of the year, the direct-controlled populations of Dragon Banner and Golden Eagle are bound to exceed the 100 million mark, and the Northern Alliance will definitely cross the 50 million level.

If Tianyuan still only had 100,000 people as now, there would be no possibility of competition with a thousand-fold gap.

As for how to gather such a large population.

After the renovation, the existing buildings in the western suburbs can accommodate at least nearly two million people, even if large-scale reconstruction has not yet begun.

And if the residential area in the southern suburbs could be developed, it would be more than enough for nearly 10 million people, let alone five million.

After all, in the pre-war era, Qinggang City was a large port city that could accommodate 30 million people!

"Lord, we received the communication message from Mengyue Territory."

Just when Sumo was thinking about where to recruit people, the game board suddenly appeared in front of him.

It automatically jumped to the private chat interface, and Gong Zhengyang's message appeared.

"Mengyue territory?"

"Yes, because the current screen refresh rate is too fast, we only retrieved one relevant message from the World Channel, which probably means that the current leader of the Mengyue Territory, Ruyue, wants to seek your help."

Lead Chairman Ruyue?

Sumo couldn't help but frowned, but soon relaxed.

I have been thinking about the chaos caused by labor pains, but I have forgotten the opportunities that can be captured during this period.

"Don't worry, let's first ask what happened in Mengyue Territory."

Gong Zhengyang on the other side responded quickly.

"clear."
