The skinny young man took out a piece of clean cloth and wrapped the canned meat. He organized his words and began to speak.
"Lindong Shelter was built on the third day of the doomsday. It's been more than a month now. The entire shelter is also the largest shelter within hundreds of miles around Lincheng. There are hundreds of thousands of survivors."
"But Lindong Shelter isn't like what the outside world says. You can't live a good life here." The skinny young man smiled bitterly, "After all, there are too many survivors and food is limited. The official food supplies to survivors every day is very little. That little food can at most keep people from starving to death. If you really want to eat your fill, you have to find your own way out."
He pointed to a building not far away. At this time, the door was locked.
"That's the labor market. Every morning, some jobs will be posted. These are short-term jobs, such as building the city wall. But there aren't many jobs. Every morning, the labor market entrance will be crowded with survivors. But most of them still can't get a job."
"Of course, hunters or professionals don't have to worry about this. Other ordinary people, if they can't get a job, some of them are like me, working as a guide here. If they're lucky enough to meet a generous person like you, they can get food for many days. There are also some people who go out to try their luck. We call them scavengers. Sometimes they're lucky enough to pick up some valuable goods, but sometimes …"
Scavengers …
Tang Yu knew who these people were. On the way to the shelter, he saw a lot of emaciated survivors. These people obviously couldn't hunt demonic beasts. Even if they went out to search for supplies, they didn't have the ability. They could only wait for some combat teams to search before picking up the leftovers.
How much could these things be worth? Moreover, no matter how close they were to the shelter in the wild, the places that the combat teams had explored couldn't be safe. Sometimes they found valuable things, but they had to guard against robbers.
Indeed, life in Lindong Shelter wasn't much better than other places.
Tang Yu was heartbroken.
There were so many survivors … but they did nothing. It was a waste of labor!
His territory only had a transportation team. As the waste materials in the original resort area were gradually consumed, they needed to go further to get more materials. He needed to increase his manpower. There were also lumberyards and quarries in the territory's buildings. But they couldn't produce wood and stone out of thin air like in the game. Obviously, it was unrealistic.
Even if these resource buildings were built, they would still need survivors to support them.
"I can't force it, I can't force it. Besides, I'm not only lacking survivors, I'm also lacking Source Crystals, blueprints, high-grade metals …"
When he thought about it this way, he realized that he lacked everything. He might as well change his name to Tang Que!
Lindong County wasn't small, but it wasn't big either.
Hundreds of thousands of survivors poured into Lindong Shelter, occupying most of the county at once. Many places had basically been built into tube-shaped apartments for survivors to live in. Some buildings with low land utilization rates were either flattened or renovated.
Except for a few main streets, the entire Lindong Shelter was very crowded, making it hard for people to breathe.
The skinny young man led them to the main street. As he walked, he introduced some of the main buildings and facilities of Lindong Shelter.
"That building over there that used to look like a bank has now been converted into a mercenary mission management center. Every day, many combat teams that are planning to go out will come here to see if there are any suitable missions. After completing the missions issued by the mission center, you can redeem a lot of rewards according to the mission points. Almost everything is available. Therefore, the mission center has become the most popular place for hunters. "
Tang Yu held his chin.
After all, it was an official organization of Lindong Shelter. There were many good things on the mission center reward list. No wonder the hunters were tempted.
From the most basic food, to guns, even rocket launchers, armored vehicles, these were weapons and equipment that could make the combatants jealous. There were even a few things that made Tang Yu a little excited.
Awakening Potion.
Lindong Shelter's research on human awakening had obviously reached the forefront. Compared to the simple awakening headband, this awakening potion had a greater auxiliary effect and fewer side effects. Although it was of no use to him, it was still very effective to increase the attractiveness of the shelter, which was to say, to the outside world.
Tang Yu also had a deeper consideration.
He didn't need much of the awakening potion. With the Research Institute, he only needed a few samples to derive the formula of this awakening potion.
In addition, there was another spirit power container. Tang Yu was a little surprised when he saw it.
This kind of container could absorb spirit power?
After a demonic beast died, apart from the absorbed spirit power, the rest would quickly dissipate. However, Lindong Shelter's scientists discovered a special kind of crystal. This crystal was very compatible with spirit power. Finally, after research, they made this crystal container to contain spirit power.
Tang Yu's eyes lit up. Sure enough, this trip to Lindong was worth it.
"Can I buy the awakening potion and the spirit power container with spirit stones?"
"The awakening potion can be bought, but the spirit power container can only be exchanged through the mission center. And the awakening potion is also divided into different grades. Some high-grade awakening potions are actually very difficult to buy."
Couldn't he get it unless he completed a mission?
He was a little depressed.
It was impossible to complete a mission. He came to Lindong to cause trouble, not to complete a mission. Besides, with the high exchange price of the spirit power container, who knows how many missions he would have to complete to exchange for it?
"Is there really no other way?" Tang Yu still had a glimmer of hope.
The skinny young man pondered for a while, "It's said that there are all kinds of precious goods sold in the black market. As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy them. But I've only heard about the black market. I don't know the specific information about the black market." He was a little distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
Tang Yu didn't care. After all, the guide was just an ordinary survivor.
Anyway, as long as the black market exists, there's always a way to find out. He just didn't know if there was anything he wanted in the black market.
Let's take one step at a time.
After the guide left, Gray Blade went to the street to investigate the information.
Elaine, looking at the small vendors on the street, looked a bit happy. Tang Yu let her go shopping.
In the blink of an eye, only Tang Yu was left alone.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Tang Yu?"
He turned around and saw a young man with glasses and a crew cut.
