My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

The Origin Territory, when viewed from a high place, is extremely large in scale.

Take a glance at the many buildings on the hill.

Even people who are used to seeing modern metropolises are still a little amazed that humans can actually build such a miracle among such mountains.

Before the heavy snowfall comes, it serves as the "hot cake" in the electromagnetic wave communication platform.

Not only does it have strong consumption power and considerable material reserves, it also has an attribute that is extremely difficult to replace.

Safety!

Because the people who make up the territory are too complex, there are too many sub-territories.

Here, no one cares about the origin of the items he sells, and no one cares about how much blood and sin is stained behind his back.

Before the heavy snowfall, coming in from the other side of the mountain is not only a smooth journey, but also only takes two or three days to reach, and there is no danger in the process.

For those bandits who robbed foreign caravans, or simply looted other human gathering places.

The origin territory is obviously a gold-selling cave that is difficult to find in the New World.

At the same time, for those refugees whose territory has been invaded by other alien races or humans, the origin territory is also extremely safe and worthy of their favor.

Here, there are thousands of miles of mountains as a natural barrier.

Even if a foreign race is targeting it and wants to invade, it must first consider the complex terrain inside and the possible huge casualties.

under two factors.

Before the snowfall, there was an almost endless stream of people coming and going in the central public part of the Origin Territory every day.

At its peak, the passenger throughput can even reach a terrifying 2,000 people per day.

And even if the snow falls now, there are still many people coming here, at least close to a hundred or hundreds of people can enter every day.

Of course, the route they chose would definitely not be the one Sumo and others took.

More than ninety-nine percent of people come from the opposite side, and they only need to climb about seven ordinary mountains of earth and rocks to reach it.

It takes some effort, but it’s not that difficult!

The time shifts to eight o'clock in the evening.

The entrance to the origin territory.

A team of about thirty people came slowly from the darkness in the distance and stood in front of the information bulletin board at the door.

For the first time, everyone's eyes were focused almost unconsciously.

Not only because of the various weapons exposed on the team members' bodies.

What's more, the aura of the man wearing a fur-collared coat was incompatible with his surroundings!

This guy

Is he cosplaying a classic character in a certain movie or TV series?

The two refugees standing as guards in front of the territory's gate were bragging about nothing.

"I bet that if this bandit leader challenges me in a duel, I will definitely defeat him in minutes. Look at his disguise, he is not professional at all!"

"Shh, please keep your voice down. In these chaotic years, who would dare challenge you in a duel? Look at the brother behind him. That's a real gun. I've seen it before!"

"It doesn't matter if you have a gun, there are many more gun-wielding thugs who have died in my hands than aliens!" After being reminded by his companion, the short refugee guard on the right curled his lips in disdain, without any panic in his heart.

In the origin territory, although they are not equipped with guns, they only have simple machetes to maintain order.

But everyone knows that this place is the facade of the entire Origin Territory.

Don't say it's these thirty or so people who want to cause trouble.

So what if there are hundreds of gun-toting gangsters?

The new lord only needs to use that mysterious special force to crush anyone who disobeys!

However, the tall guard on the left obviously didn't believe it. He just sneered and said:

"Then it's agreed. They will come over later and I will be responsible for the reception. Later."

"That's not possible. How can you do this kind of work alone? I have to watch them all the time and don't make trouble in our territory."

Looking at this team, they finally finished reading the bulletin board at the entrance of the territory, and they seemed to be heading towards the gate.

The short guard who had been bragging before suddenly became energetic.

He first ignored his companion's disdainful eyes and rejected his suggestion, and then he involuntarily raised his chest, with gleams of light shooting out of his eyes.

"This group of people are very tight-looking. Maybe they are fat sheep?"

The short guard standing at the gate was disgusted by the team leader's exaggerated bandit costume, but he was actually not too surprised.

In the long time he has been in the Origin Territory, among the travelers he has received, this kind of attire can only be considered conservative at best, and it is difficult to even qualify as strange.

Think about those people who dress themselves up as Konohagakure ninjas, wear pirate eye patches, and keep saying that they have awakened their Sharingan and must receive the best treatment.

Think about it again, wearing an iron shell all over your body, claiming to be the second generation of Iron Man, but now his armor is damaged and in urgent need of a start-up fund to repair it.

Bandit leader?

Nothing could be more normal!

A long while passed.

Amid the expectations of the short guard, the team finally gave up studying the information on the bulletin board, and instead determined the direction and walked towards the gate.

Bowing slightly, when the team approached, the two guards stepped forward and uttered the greetings they had already prepared.

"Welcome to all guests from far away, thank you for your hard work."

"This is the most powerful gathering place for humans in the thousands of miles of mountains, the center of the origin territory!"

When they said this, the two of them raised their heads involuntarily, trying to test and decide the next arrangement through each other's reaction.

However, just for a moment, when they met the eyes of the leader, their hearts trembled violently.

From a distance, the sense of oppression brought by this man is almost nonexistent, and it is basically impossible to feel the so-called bandit aura.

But when you get close, those scarlet eyes look like wild beasts, making people feel chilled just by looking at them.

"Hell"

“Isn’t this a real gangster?!”

The short guard whispered in his heart, but a slightly dull voice came from his ears.

"I came to see Marshal Wang. He owed me a debt before. I came to collect it!"

"Marshal Wang?"

The short guard was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously.

"Didn't Marshal Wang run away a long time ago? His territory has a new lord!"

"Oh? Ran away?"

Facing the murderous face above the wild beard, the short guard felt his heartbeat freeze for half a beat. He wanted to say something perfunctory, but his Adam's apple moved and he said.

"Marshal Wang was previously the lord of the Jiuqu Peak on the top of the "Kai" mountain in our territory of origin. He had more than 4,000 men, which was considered to be the top few among our previous 16 lords. If others are still there, I would like to It's not a problem to pay your debt, sir. I can even take you there directly."

"But unfortunately, as far as I know, Lord Marshal Wang betrayed our origin territory more than a month ago and fled with a mysterious treasure, leaving behind his own territory and wife! "

"Today, our new lord's arrest warrant for Marshal Wang is still hanging. You just saw the information bulletin board, and you should be able to see the S-class wanted notice on it."

Pointing to the bulletin board not far away, it was not until he finished saying these words that the short guard dared to raise his hand and wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

Use the same attitude and method to deal with the kind of people you face.

Normally, he would never say these words so easily.

In the past, there were not many people who came to the Origin Territory to seek revenge. Most of them were incompetent and furious and returned without success.

But facing this man and this team in front of me.

The short guard was sincerely afraid that their anger at not being able to find Marshal Wang would be directed at him.

But the good thing is.

Standing opposite, the bearded man didn't have any major emotional fluctuations. He just nodded and led the people into the gate without saying a word of thanks.

He didn't seem worried that the guard he was asking for directions would lie to him.

Seeing this performance, the short guard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly boldly chased after him:

"My lord, I still don't know what to call you."

"Although our origin territory is not large, you must also know that there are not only many people in it, but also a lot of complexity, and the forces are also crisscrossed."

"Sir, with the strength of your team, although you don't have to worry about those flies coming to cause trouble, you will still waste time on some matters of concern."

"But you only need to hire me as your guide. In the next three days, I will try my best to help you understand the origin territory, whether it is the trading situation, the distribution of power, or even the way to sell stolen goods."

"I can help you with everything!"

Patting his chest, the short guard trotted after the bearded man and introduced himself.

According to previous market conditions.

As long as travelers who pass by want to enter the origin territory, they must pay an entry fee more or less to watch the food being served.

Most of them will be taken away by the guards at the gate, leaving only a small part to be handed over to the territory behind.

Taking into account the fixed income, guarding this position is naturally a good and fat job.

But the recurring cycle of disasters is doomed that such good times will not last long.

Since the heavy snow fell, the new lord has strictly ordered all guards to no longer charge entry fees in order to promote economic recovery in the territory.

The lives of these guards plummeted.

So much so that now it is reduced to the point of "actively soliciting customers".

"Sir, please think about it, my price is very cheap." Seeing the bearded man still walking forward on his own, and the people following him ignoring his self-recommendation, the short guard was extremely anxious.

According to the usual quotation.

The price of hiring is three days, and one day's food is generally enough in the origin territory.

Quantified into specific materials, it is roughly about 380g of uncooked rice, or 400g of flour.

But now, when natural disasters strike, everyone is short of money and there are very few people willing to hire.

The short man could only grit his teeth and quote two-thirds of the usual price, breaking the already ineffective market rules.

"I only need 300g of raw flour and can I hire you for three days?"

Finally, after hearing the quotation, the bearded man became interested and stopped.

In a very uniform manner, the thirty or so people following him immediately stopped, as if this man was the only one following his lead.

"Yes, you only need 300g of raw flour, or other equivalent supplies!"

Sensing the hope that the negotiation would be successful, the short guard nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of hope.

Opposite him, the bearded man did not disappoint him. He just nodded lightly and said two words:

"Yang Jian!"

[A group of fat sheep came to the gathering place, thirty-two people, living in the Sanyuan Hotel. There were many guns! 】

[According to reliable sources, it is to seek revenge for the disappeared Marshal Wang]

[The possibility of having information about Marshal Wang cannot be ruled out]

Outskirts of origin territory.

In a seemingly ordinary stone house, a man wearing an ancient brown jacket sat in front of a brazier burning charcoal fire, unfolding a crumpled note in his hand.

Beside him, there were a dozen people sitting in front of another brazier, playing poker and shouting loudly, which was quite noisy.

But the man always turned a deaf ear and only played with the note in his hand over and over again, pondering the information on it.

His name is Hou Tielong, a former small lord in the New World and now a bounty hunter.

In the Origin Territory, the profession of bounty hunter is not uncommon.

Walk outside and grab ten people at random and ask them. It is very likely that nine of them are so-called bounty hunters and know all about the bounty information on the bulletin board.

Most of them are jealous of the rewards on the bounty orders, and can clearly tell the life story and appearance of each bounty recipient.

But Hou Tielong thinks that he is different from these people, completely different.

the reason is simple.

First, he took the bounty from the new lord of the origin territory, and

More than once!

Second, his reputation is not very good.

Just a week ago, he used his keen sense of smell to detect abnormalities in nearly ten people in advance, set up a trap to arrest them, and twisted them into the prison where they were gathered.

After the interrogation in the prison confirms the information, the reward can be settled to him.

And this is the reason why it has a bad reputation.

He might have misunderstood a good person and had to beat him into evil, so he was not well received in the gathering place. Everyone was afraid that Hou Tielong would find an opportunity to do the same thing to him.

but.

Who cares?

At least Hou Tielong is quite satisfied with his living situation.

If you do those jobs that require hard labor and are despicable, you won’t even be able to fill your stomach at the end of the day, so how can you talk about dignity?

Going to the outside world to rob a caravan, if you are not careful, you will overturn the car and be hacked to death. How risky is it.

Compared with these, catching the traitor that the lord hates in the gathering place is likely to require a simple game, and you can harvest ten times or a hundred times the materials of the former.

good reputation?

Not as good as a bite of steamed buns!

However, Hou Tielong has not never made a mistake on his way as a bounty hunter.

Letting Marshal Wang slip away easily under his nose is the biggest black spot on his resume!

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

Putting away the note in his hand, Hou Tielong raised his eyes and looked at his men who came in through the door.

"How's it going? Did you see clearly?"

The man who came in nodded and began to report respectfully.

"Brother Long, see clearly"

"Preliminary observation shows that they basically have guns in their hands, mainly standard pistols. They look quite new. They are most likely unearthed from the ruins and are very powerful. Because it involves ruins, I am not sure whether they have any in their hands. If we want to use powerful weapons such as rifles and machine guns, we must be careful."

"There are quite a few of them. There are thirty-two people in total including the leader. Judging from their movements, it is basically certain that they have received a certain degree of training. They are not a ragtag group of people, nor are they a temporary team of refugees. If we If you can’t catch them all in one go, I’m afraid you will suffer horrific retaliation from the other party.”

"In order to worry about alerting the enemy, we have not rashly asked Huang Bing what the specific purpose of this group is, but judging from their posture, they should have a lot of good things on hand, and they are very generous. We can focus on observation."

"I asked the hotel owner. They will stay here for more than three days, so we don't have to worry for the time being. We can wait until the day tomorrow and then monitor and monitor carefully."

""

The man's memory was amazing. He reported five or six things in a row and still managed to blurt it out.

However, after he finished his first statement, Hou Tielong, who was sitting across from him, had already frowned and his face darkened.

"According to what you say, this group of people seems to be a tough guy."

"You continue to monitor and try your best to get ahead of others. If there is any situation, report it to me as soon as possible!"

After giving two orders and watching the man open the door and leave, Hou Tielong stretched out his hand and threw the note into the brazier, watching the flames rise faintly and swallow the entire note.

People who are not familiar with his past actions will probably think that he chose to give up this risky behavior when looking at this performance.

But those who know him well know that

"There are guns, supplies, information about unknown ruins, and the possible whereabouts of Marshal Wang."

Danger is often accompanied by huge benefits.

A group of foreign dragons crossing the river, what tricks can they play!

The more he thought about it, the more excited Hou Tielong became.

He has even begun to worry about one thing, that other bounty hunters in the gathering area will take action before him.

"After eating this wave of fat sheep, I will no longer have to worry about material issues in the next three months, or even half a year!"

"Done!"
