My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

The vast wasteland, after eight years of transformation, the overall terrain has changed and changed under the care of disaster.

Those humans who have lived in the deep sea, the alien races in the ocean, have basically been forced to move to the new continent due to the increase in the intensity of the disaster.

It's a pity that the area of ​​the New World has not increased much in these eight years.

With less land and more people, there are disputes all over the mainland.

Although Tianyuan Territory is not warlike, it is often attacked by foreign stragglers because the northernmost part of the territory is close to the coastline.

Therefore, according to the location distribution, the division of labor in the three major cities is also very clear.

The city of Hope, which focuses on the territorial economy, is located in the center of the entire territory and has the safest geographical conditions to drive the economic development of the territory.

Tianyuan City, which focuses on the development of military warfare, is located on the west side of the territory near the dwarves of all countries.

The fish-man city, which focuses on special economics, is located in the northern part of the territory where small wars are most frequent, and it is mainly responsible for guarding the back of the territory.

Driven by these three cities, there are also four major super-monopoly companies as enemies, plus hundreds of small and medium-sized development companies.

Tianyuan Territory is extremely balanced and powerful in all aspects, even if the number of people is much smaller than other super territories, it can firmly occupy a vast land.

At the same time, some of the surrounding small human territories are independent on the bright side, but secretly they have long since become affiliated cities of the territory.

Every once in a while, these territories will send caravans to trade in Hope City with various commodities.

Territories in other remote areas will also come here, entering Hope City, eager to get the opportunity for territory development.

Around this batch of "real" foreign population, it is hoped that the city will expand again and again, and three areas will gradually be formed outside the real core city circle.

One is called "Broken Army", which is responsible for garrisoning the city defense army.

One is called "Mingyue", which is responsible for trading, temporary residence, catering, etc. It is a trading place specially opened for foreigners.

One is called "mulberry field", which assists in farming. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile fields and experimental fields of various novel varieties.

Like the current location of the station, it is right in Mingyue Town, the outermost part of Hope City.

Although it was just after noon at this time, the sun was in the sky, causing a rolling heat wave.

But outside the huge Hope Station, there are not many people who go to other territories, who come to pick up relatives, those who sell small commodities on the periphery, and those who carry passengers into the city.

Coming out from the back door guided by Wang Quan, he led Huang Xiaojuan and Oreo, mixed in the crowd of people, until after he squeezed out to the exit to verify his identity, Somo took off the simple mask on his face and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just arrived in Hope City, and he was already a little uncomfortable.

Compared with the Hope Village eight years ago, the development of the Hope City today is so huge that he can't recognize the connection between this place and the past.

Whether it is Guoshu Mountain or Iron Stone Mountain, all these landmarks have disappeared.

Nowadays, as far as the eyes can see from the station, there are planned asphalt roads and six or seven-story high-rise buildings, giving people a feeling of returning to the era of civilization.

And even more familiar is...

"Yo, buddy is fresh, new here?"

"A taxi? A taxi?"

"Mom, Mo~"

"Going to Mingyue Town or Sangtian Town, I have a three-seat capable car that just sits down for you. You only need one trading point to take you there, ensuring a full ride experience."

"..."

As soon as they saw the crowd pouring out of the exit gate, the "drivers" who had been waiting at the gate for a long time rushed over like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers.

Among them, I saw that although Soma looked ordinary, his walking posture and temperament were extraordinary.

Most of the drivers who drove capable cars gathered around and started soliciting customers with all sorts of rhetorical tricks.

Finding one of them who was a little more pleasing to the eye, Somo raised his brows and cupped his hands.

When the other party saw this, they immediately led the way with joy in their hearts. After a while, the two of them passed the twists and turns of the station and came to a slightly worn-out tricycle in the parking lot.

"Hey, don't look at my old car, I have many functions!"

Having said that, the dark man stepped forward and inserted the key.

As he pressed the button in front of the kinetic car, he saw that the rear seat began to change slowly.

First, four poles were raised, and then a curtain-like thing was propped up on both sides. When the man pulled and pulled it, he just wrapped the open-air carriage, blocking the harsh sunlight outside.

"Ha, this is really useful!"

After touching the rod he was supporting, and realizing that this thing was not an ordinary iron rod, but an alloy-like substance, Soma couldn't help but glance at it.

The factors for judging the development of a territory are, first, the ceiling of cutting-edge technology, and second, the degree of civilian use of ordinary technology.

It is enough to make the passenger drivers outside the station use alloys, which is enough to see how fast the current Tianyuan territory is developing.

"Dude, go to Mingyue Town or Sangtian Town. If Mingyue is the case, the two of you will have one dog. According to the pricing standard, it will be 0.3 trading points."

"It's farther to go to Sangtian, and you get 0.5 trading points."

Greeting two people and one dog to sit in the back of the carriage, the dark-skinned man took out a sign with "Hope City Public Passenger Tariff" and handed it over.

"It's your first time here, don't worry, everything is now strictly regulated by the territory, such as the sale of black car drivers on our earth, which can't be done long ago!"

"If I charge you one more point, and you turn around and file a complaint against me to the transportation office, I will be arrested and do hard labor tomorrow. How can this be worth it!"

Seeing that Soma was intently looking at the explanation at the back of the price list, the dark man was not in a hurry, took out the water bottle in the back seat, and explained patiently while drinking it.

"Okay, then it's troublesome, let's go to Mingyue Town."

The distance between the two places is 40 kilometers. In addition, the heat wave is rolling, and the scalp of those who are exposed to the sun is numb. The fee of 0.3 points is not high.

Seeing that this dark-skinned man is young, probably twenty-four or five, his attitude is so gentle and humble.

Soma handed back the sign, and his impression of this strange city of hope was also a little better.

"okay!"

Not afraid of Soma running away, after hearing the destination, the dark man turned his head and started the car, and started to drive on the asphalt road towards Mingyue Town.

Along the way, when he saw some novel things along the route, Soma didn't pretend, and kept asking questions.

It didn't take long for the two to become acquainted.

The dark man's real name is Yang Wu, a person who joined the Territory in the second year of the Wasteland.

Only at that time, he was only seventeen years old. He was still young and did not have any skills. He failed to catch up with the first wave of dividends that took off in the territory.

This has led to five or six years of mixing. In addition to having a territorial identity, he also works as an extremely ordinary driver.

"I'm content. With this identity, I've surpassed 99% of ordinary people in the wasteland. If you think about anything else, it's useless!"

"Besides, now I solicit customers every day, I have food and drink, and I can save some money. Where can I find such a comfortable job in the wasteland!"

With the oncoming hot wind blowing, Yang Wu shouted happily.

Just like the natives who lived in the imperial capital in the previous life.

Although they do not have prominent family backgrounds, nor do they have high-paying jobs that everyone envy.

But just by one identity, a dilapidated house, they are enough to surpass ordinary people's efforts for ten years or a hundred years.

"It's Brother Su, you just came to the territory, I'm afraid you were a big person before, otherwise you wouldn't be able to buy the identity of our Tianyuan territory."

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person. I just got lucky and made a fortune."

Seeing Yang Wu turn his head and ask curiously, Su Mo shook his head angrily, and turned his gaze to the rolling farmland beside the asphalt road.

With the magical plants he left before he left, plus the subsequent harvest from the tree man's territory.

The fields in Tianyuan Territory are growing very well, and they are completely self-sufficient and have a certain surplus.

In addition to importing food from outside, even if it encounters a disaster, the territory is estimated to have enough surplus food to support it.

"Hey, these people are selling watermelons?"

in hot weather.

Looking forward along the road, he noticed that there was a watermelon stand on the side of the road. After many people stood in front of the door, Soma couldn't help but be amazed.

This road is the only road from the station to Mingyue Town, and there must be many travelers passing by.

In hot weather, even if this watermelon is a little more expensive, it will definitely not be short of sales.

Sure enough.

After hearing the word "watermelon", Yang Wu hadn't spoken yet, and Huang Xiaojuan, who was sitting on the other side, had Oreo sticking out her tongue on the ground.

Everyone and the dog raised their heads, their eyes full of desire.

"Okay, I'll buy one when I park the car."

Instructing Yang Wu to pull over to stop, Soma jumped out of the carriage vigorously and walked all the way to the watermelon stand.

"One pound of watermelon sells for one dime, which is 0.05 points in terms of trading points..."

"In this way, a 15-pound large watermelon costs 0.75 trading points... This price is a bit expensive!"

For ordinary people in Qingguo Territory, earning only one point per month is enough to survive.

In Tianyuan Territory, despite the increase in income, watermelon is still a high-priced consumer product. Most people are not willing to buy one for a few months, except for the holidays.

However, for Soma, he couldn't take these points with him, so he didn't feel bad about spending them.

"Sixteen catties and eight taels, 0.84 trading points, you will be charged 0.8 trading points, thank you for your patronage!"

Compared with the currency "meta currency" in the territory, the purchasing power of the transaction point is stronger, and the possibility of devaluation is lower.

So after seeing that Soma was willing to pay with the transaction point, the shopkeeper happily wiped away the zero, and by the way, helped cut it into one tooth and one tooth.

"Huh, Brother Su is really willing!"

Seeing Su Mo walking back with a large bag of watermelons, Yang Wu licked his dry lips, his eyes full of envy and complexity.

Recalling that the last time he ate watermelon was last year.

At that time, when the watermelon was about to go out of the market, Yang Wucai was willing to buy half of it to satisfy his craving.

Going forward, the high price has always been a difficulty in front of him. In many cases, even if the money in his pocket can be eaten completely.

He will never be as willing as Soma is now.

However, these complicated emotions disappeared in an instant when Soma came back and pushed Sanya in front of him.

He looked at the ice **** whose outer skin was still exuding traces of white air, and the red and shiny melon flesh inside.

Just one mouthful into the stomach, it will make people directly relieve the heat and fly up.

With three people and one dog, sixteen catties of watermelon should not have been eaten.

But in the end, under Yang Wu's distressed eyes, Oreo devoured the remaining watermelon that was over ten pounds.

"Brother Su, you have to save some money for this money. We use money everywhere in our territory..."

Restarting the car, compared to before, with the watermelon closer, Yang Wu's attitude was much better, and he began to talk earnestly about the expenses in the territory.

"You are a newcomer. Even if you have a job with your own identity, you will definitely not be able to buy houses in the short-term that require hundreds of thousands of transaction points and various restrictions, right?"

"So, if you look at renting a house, it costs a lot of money."

"Let's not talk about the cheapest houses in the city that cost 500 points a month. Just in Mingyue Town, a single room costs 80 points a month, and you live for a year for 960 points!"

"After renting the room, you also have to pay for the meal, right? You two have a dog, and the minimum standard for daily food is about 0.6 trading points. This year, it will be in the early 200s."

With the hot wind blowing, Yang Wugang was still nagging at the beginning, but when he got to the back, he complained like he was complaining.

"Actually, renting a house and eating is not bad. All these expenses can be calculated, but the other miscellaneous expenses are even more terrifying."

"We hope that although residents in the city have no living tax, they have a fixed status maintenance fee. According to the price of your status, you will also pay a tax of 0.8% of the status price every month."

"Although there is no depreciation fee for the house, the water and electricity costs, maintenance costs, and foundation taxes are also quite a month."

"You can't walk on your feet when you travel to other places. You have to pay for a taxi, you have to charge the car when you buy a car, and you have to pay road taxes..."

"..."

He kept talking about more than a dozen places that need to be charged. When Huang Xiaojuan's head was getting bigger, Yang Wu stopped talking:

"Besides these, the most important thing is... 25% of the salary you earn in the territory every month will be included in the territory's natural disaster defense funds, and 25% will be included in the residents' medical insurance."

"Only half of it is actually obtained!"

After complaining about the existing system in the territory in one breath, Yang Wu let out a sigh of relief when he saw the slight change in Soma's face, and his mood was much more relaxed.

In the eyes of outsiders, these super-territorial people live very comfortably. They have a big room to live in, they don't worry about food and clothing, they are very safe, and they live a life of a superior person.

But only they themselves know what a tragic end they will be if they don't have money in a territory that only looks at "money".

"It's okay for us old residents. After the trading point is cleared, we can maintain our identity for one year to raise funds."

"But for newcomers like you, once the trading points on your body are reset to zero for more than three days, your identity will be confiscated and you will be driven out of the territory."

"And... you also have to be careful about some foreigners who only have temporary identities. The scam they set up, once they fall into it, the consequences are unpredictable"

As a large-scale town appeared in the field of vision, Yang Wu's ramble gradually stopped.

"Mingyue Town is in front. It's getting late. If Brother Su wants to rent a house, he has to make plans early."

"it is good"

Neng's car stopped at the entrance of the village, the two got off the car with one dog, and Somo raised his hand to pay the fare.

"Received, come to me anytime you need a useful car"

Handing over a handwritten business card, Yang Wu showed a bright smile, jumped into the car and walked away.

Obviously, even if he has no ambitions, the rules of the city force him not to lie flat, and he must be running all the time in order to maintain various expenses.

"Brother Zong, we... are we going to rent a house first?"

Being informed by Yang Wu of the cruelty in the territory, Huang Xiaojuan looked a little timid as she looked around.

Here, there is obviously a big gap from the beautiful life she imagined before~www.readwn.com~.

Prickly pear town and Mingyue town, although they are both towns.

But in comparison, the tallest building in Cili Town is only four stories tall, and most of them are bungalows, while the lowest building in Mingyue Town has three stories!

At the same time, even standing at the gate of the town, the noise and liveliness inside can be vaguely spread to the outside, which is enough to see the prosperity here.

"Don't worry, let's go for a walk first."

Glancing at the bright moon sign hanging high above the town gate, as well as the neng car going to the city from the town gate, Soma took a slow and deep breath, suppressing the impulse in his heart.

According to what Wang Wu said before, if you live in an urban area, your monthly expenses will add up to at least a thousand points.

And, because renting accounts for the bulk, identity taxes and meals account for a small portion.

As a result, in order to save money, many outsiders who bought identities basically rented their houses in Mingyue Town and Sangtian Town outside.

"I want to save money, so it seems that I have to rent the house here first."

"Compared to the previous two relic missions, this time...it's really **** mode!"

It's like a poor boy who came to the imperial capital from a remote mountain village with a huge sum of "one thousand yuan".

Su Mo thought he could hold on for a while, but he didn't think so, it was even difficult to hold on for a month.

And when I think of myself in this capacity, I have to develop a car and a house in the center of the city, and I even have to take control of the entire city within a year.

Suma couldn't help but feel happy and strode into the town.

...
