Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

Chapter 113 Maintenance Commission

But this is not good news.

If even the deep underground is not safe, how can it be any better elsewhere?

Their shelter, no matter how well built it is, will probably be nothing more than duckweed in the wind.

Su Wu dived to peek in secret, but was also silent for a while.

When digging deep underground is not a good option.

So what is the future direction of development?

"Earthquakes, high temperatures, radiation, and extreme cold snaps in the future."

Su Wu considered the disasters that he had already experienced, or that he had learned from officials, that might occur in the future.

I was a little confused for a while.

After a while, he turned his attention to the silver wall of the control center.

That is a wall that has been extra reinforced with survival points.

Although there are very few survival points invested. At present, its strength is only slightly stronger than high-grade cement.

But perhaps, there lies hope for the future.

When it is no longer reliable enough deep underground.

If there was a material that could match hundreds of meters or even kilometers of rock formations in terms of insulation and strength, then the shelter would no longer have any impact whether it was on the surface or underground.

However, developing materials is a large-scale project.

Although with the catalysis of survival points, the difficulty may be slightly reduced.

But it is still destined to be an extremely difficult route.

Su Wu was not sure for a while whether it was reliable to place his hopes in this direction.

"Let's try it first."

"Anyway, it won't delay the development of the shelter."

Under the dim sky that seems to last forever.

In the ruins of the city shrouded in high temperatures.

Yang Qi carefully emerged from a half-collapsed room. After looking around and finding no trace of the stranger, he walked towards a modified pickup truck parked not far away.

It's not that he doesn't want to run faster.

But in this horrible weather, if the activity is a little more intense, it can almost kill someone. And you may not be able to run very far in the end.

To sum up, it is better to keep traveling slowly, which is the most cost-effective.

"It'll take about two more minutes."

Silently calculating the time to return to the car in his mind, Yang Qi did not dare to be careless at all.

This is a ruin on the surface that is unsuitable for human survival, and it is also a place where official order cannot be shrouded.

Once a conflict breaks out with others.

As long as it doesn't make a huge noise. Even if someone beats him to death, the authorities will not care.

In the short half day I went out to scavenge.

Yang Qi has personally seen no less than two or three incidents where scavengers were robbed.

One of them was so seriously injured that he could only lie wailing in the ruins and wait to die.

Fortunately, this time it was smooth sailing.

No surprises were encountered.

After opening the door and getting into the pickup truck, Yang Qi took off the wet cloth from his face, took a deep breath, and relaxed.

Pickup trucks have thickened skins and reinforced steel protection.

Those with bad intentions who also come from scavenging backgrounds will generally not take advantage of the people in the car.

"You didn't find anything good this time?"

A companion who came back ahead of him looked at his empty hands and asked curiously.

"It took me so much effort."

"There is no gain."

Yang Qi was slightly proud. He took out a piece of gold jewelry from his pocket.

"Look, it's at least five or six grams of gold."

"You're still lucky."

"This thing should be enough to replace ten pounds of lettuce."

My companions were really envious.

He has been out working for so long, and the total value of the garbage he picked up may not be as valuable as Yang Qi's this time.

More importantly, most of the rubbish he picked up were bulky items that were worthless.

They can only take it back and be bought by the shelter at a low price.

The gold jewelry in Yang Qi's hands can be exchanged for food and various urgently needed supplies directly on the surface.

"hey-hey."

Yang Qi smiled happily.

"When the store cart comes later, I'll change it to lettuce."

"Then I pay the tax, go back to the shelter, replace the lettuce with dried earthworms, and treat you to a big meal."

For his partners, he is also jealous.

Yang Qi is not stingy. Even in these last days when supplies are scarce, I am willing to share them with him.

And when it comes to shop carts.

His mind couldn't help but picture a large white truck, two robot guards with firearms, and the person who relayed the transaction rules and exchange ratio to them through the robot. He had an unknown appearance, but his voice was unusually warm and pleasant. Miss.

Being able to start this kind of business in this chaotic environment.

Their shelter must be very powerful.

In the ruins of Jianghe City.

As large trucks from Suwu Refuge began to arrive, some rare resources were traded with numerous scavengers.

His fame gradually spread to the outside world.

And not everyone is as ill-informed as Yang Qi.

Soon someone determined the force to which the large truck belonged.

Deserted Stone Village Shelter.

In the past, this reputation was mainly reserved for remote area shelters among large shelters.

For the first time, it officially entered the public eye.

at the same time.

The more people know, there are bound to be some people who are blinded by interests and dare to take risks.

Think about the resources in Su Wu's hands.

Looting and fighting are, after all, inevitable features of the apocalypse.

evening.

Ruins of farmhouse.

Control center on the 2nd floor underground.

Su Wu received the acquisition list handed over by Chen Xin.

The large amount of material income surprised him slightly.

Exclude bulky and bulky steel, copper, aluminum, etc.

Calculating the amount of rare metals alone, this day's income is at least seven times what he earned when he sent his convoy to the city to scavenge.

"Is the income so high?"

"Mainly fresh vegetables can fetch very high prices."

"We can also complete some maintenance commissions connected with the shelter, and we can also obtain a lot of precious metals from them."

Chen Xin stood quietly next to Su Wu and explained to him softly.

There are engineering robots at hand.

Su Wu had almost no idea about repairing machinery and equipment.

Subconsciously, I regarded it as a common natural thing like air and water.

When something breaks, repair it and continue using it. Are there any difficulties or costs involved?

But actually.

For some small and medium-sized shelters that lack relevant skilled workers.

It is surprisingly difficult to repair a complex mechanical equipment.

The cost is almost the same as buying a new device.
