Doomsday calendar, May 15th.
Unknowingly, more than four months had passed since the day of the disaster. For the survivors, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
More than four months had passed, from summer to autumn and winter.
Starting from half a month ago, the originally hot weather began to gradually fade. However, before the survivors could cheer, a cold wind blew from the north.
Whistling, the temperature plummeted.
From the original high temperature of more than 40 degrees, it plummeted to the single digits. Perhaps it wasn't very cold, but this was only a change in just half a month. The survivors didn't dare to forget that the previous few months were far hotter than the previous summer's highest temperature. So this winter … would it be a warm winter, or like summer, winter would also become abnormally cold?
Ordinary survivors didn't know, but some far-sighted people had begun to prepare winter clothes.
"These two trucks of white velvet beast fur should be able to make a lot of warm clothes. And it's a high-end product. If it's inscribed with runes, it might become an E2 or even E3 rune equipment. Yun Shang's boss ordered a large number of furs as early as half a month ago when the weather changed. She's really far-sighted."
A convoy slowly came from afar.
In addition to a few large trucks loaded with goods, the rest of the team were armed with firearms or cold weapons. They followed the slowly moving trucks, vigilantly watching the surrounding environment.
At the very front was a middle-aged man with a moustache. He was wearing a D3 cheetah combat suit that was stained with dried blood.
As the cold wind blew, he glanced at the two trucks filled with furs and sighed.
White velvet beast, a kind of demonic beast. As a traitor of the demonic beast population, the white velvet beast was different from most of the ferocious and ugly demonic beasts. It had a high appearance and thick white velvet fur on its body. Not only it had a high defense ability, but it also had an excellent thermal effect.
Recorded in the Demonic Beast Illustrated Book, number 0296.
In their Hengcheng area, they could see traces of white velvet beast activity from time to time. This time, they were commissioned by the Cloud Dress Chamber of Commerce to purchase a batch of white velvet beast fur and transport it to the Tree Shade.
It wasn't difficult for the mustache man who had been running back and forth between the Hengcheng and Lincheng areas several times to reach the Tree Shade.
Since the first time he followed the Hengcheng military to Lindong, he happened to buy a large number of E-rank rune equipment from the Tree Shade and shipped it back to Hengcheng to make a big profit. The mustache man changed his business scope.
He changed the Windstorm Mercenary Group into the Windstorm Chamber of Commerce. He no longer accepted missions from the Mission Center, but turned to doing business.
Later on, they traversed a long distance across the wilderness. Although they did not have Hengcheng's military to lead them, Little Mustache and the others had already grasped the relatively safer "trade routes". They knew which areas were off limits and which were safer.
After a few trips back and forth, they also encountered a lot of dangers along the way. However, they made a lot of money. Dozens of hunters in the Storm Chamber of Commerce had put on a full set of rune equipment. Each of them had a D1 rune weapon. Most of them had reached the Fifth Awakening Stage.
They were fully deserving of being elites.
Including the man with the mustache, there were three big shot powerhouses.
Today, although the gold content of the big shot wasn't as high as two months ago, the number of big shot powerhouses was still scarce.
The initial awakeners, who fought hard enough and survived until now, many of them had the strength of the Fifth Awakening Stage. However, more than 99% of them were stuck in the bottleneck of breaking through to the Sixth Awakening Stage.
Even those who were talented and lucky enough to break through and become a big shot powerhouse, their strength progress gradually slowed down.
Sixth Awakening Stage, Seventh Awakening Stage. The higher the level, the more spirit power needed to break through. However, although there were a lot of demonic beasts, high-level demonic beasts weren't cabbages. They couldn't meet the spirit power needs of the high-level hunters.
It would become more and more difficult to rely on the method of refining spirit power to improve.
"Fortunately, the business is big. I was able to talk to the higher-ups of the Tree Shade to buy the Knight Cultivation Method."
While cultivating and refining spirit power, the mustache man was now at the peak of the Seventh Awakening Stage. Many hunters who broke through the big shot level at the same time as him had just stepped into the Seventh Awakening Stage. The gap in combat power was even bigger.
This made the mustache man glad.
He looked at the five trucks behind him. Two of them were ordered by the Cloud Dress Chamber of Commerce. The other three were loaded with various extraordinary minerals that the Tree Shade had purchased for a long time. From a profit point of view, it couldn't compare to the two carts of white velvet beast fur. But for the mustache man, these three carts of goods were more important.
Ahead.
Two hunters in charge of reconnaissance ran to the front of the convoy. Their dusty faces revealed a smile, "President, we're almost there! We're almost there!"
The mustache man looked around, "It's really hard to distinguish in the wilderness now. Since we're almost there, let's speed up."
The truck stepped on the accelerator. The caravan guards and followers quickened their pace.
Soon, a ten-meter-high black city wall appeared in front of everyone.
Two black towers stood beside the city gate. A machine gun was erected on the city wall. Many hunters in combat uniforms patrolled back and forth.
"Uncle, is this the Tree Shade?"
In the team, a ten-year-old boy spoke with a cheerful tone.
The mustache man shook his head and smiled, "The Tree Shade is much more spectacular than here. This is just an outpost, the Creek Tree Outpost. But here, it's not far from the Tree Shade. The rest of the road is basically not dangerous."
The caravan stopped in front of the city wall. The hunters in charge of negotiation in the team stepped forward and took out a Chamber of Commerce certificate certified by the Tree Shade. Not long after, the city gate, which could accommodate four trucks side by side, slowly opened. The Storm Chamber of Commerce's team walked into the outpost.
The entire outpost was rebuilt from the original Creek Tree Shelter. As far as the eye could see, there were low houses. From time to time, hunters with strong auras could be seen passing by. There were also many vendors shouting.
"We'll rest here for half an hour. If you have any physiological needs, please solve them as soon as possible."
The caravan's trucks were parked in an open area. Some people stayed behind to guard the goods, while the others dispersed.
The mustache man squatted on the ground and lit a cigarette for himself.
Next to him, his nephew seemed very curious about everything here. "Uncle, what are those people doing?"
The little boy pointed to the survivors carrying large bags not far away. This kind of people were not uncommon in the outpost. They shouted when they saw passing hunters.
"They? They're also merchants. " The mustache man paused. "But they're different from us. We run back and forth between the two shelters. We make a lot of profit. But these people are just ordinary people. They transport water and food from the Tree Shade and sell them to passing hunters. They make a small difference."
Many hunters chose to rest at the outpost in order to conveniently hunt demonic beasts or to complete missions to save time. These survivors saw the opportunity to sell supplies.
However, the distance between the Tree Shade and the Creek Tree Outpost was not far. The profits from transporting goods here were very low.
