My different world is game mode.

Chapter 585 Mercury Mine

Peng!
The arrow was at least three times faster than when it was shot, and flew back in the blink of an eye.

The people hiding behind the rocks didn't even react, they only heard a bang from the bunker in front of them.

"what?"

The young man who was hiding leaned out of sight and realized what was happening.

He had just shot the arrow, and it hit the stone pillar in front of him and shattered into pieces.

What a terrifying power this is?

The young man looked forward blankly and saw Lindsay walking towards him.

The young man's arms almost began to tremble as he took out another arrow from the quiver behind his back:
"You...don't come over!"

He then pulled the bowstring.

Before he even had time to aim, he heard Lindsay on the other side say:
"If you loosen your grip on the bow and arrow again, my reaction this time will not be the same as before, where I would just give you a warning."

"..."

The young man said nothing.

He didn't even dare to release the bow in his hand.

His body was shaking violently, and the force that was originally used to make the bowstring attack now became something that protected the arrow from being shot out.

He felt the powerful essence in Lindsay.

Her survival instinct was warning her that she was no match for the man in front of her.

The only outcome of releasing the bowstring at this moment is death.

While the young man was losing his ability to think, Lindsay had already arrived in front of him:

"I'm glad you made the right choice."

As he spoke, Lindsay reached out and grasped the young man's hand, pulling the bow and arrow out of his hand.

He could feel the body of the person in front of him trembling.

So the movements were gentler, and he even stuffed the arrows back into the opponent's quiver:
"You can call me Lindsay."

Lindsay's eyes flickered over the map.

This abandoned cinnabar mine now has only 20 people and is a relatively small camp in the wasteland.

The young man was still sweating with fear.

He looked at the well-equipped soldiers behind Lindsay, then looked at the Awakener in front of him whose details were unclear, and said with all his strength:

"You...you came to Poison Valley, what are you doing?"

"We only trade some arsenopyrite here. We don't have any extra food, let alone extra water!"

Lindsay openly stated her intention:
"I came here not for your food, nor for your water, but for the poisonous sand you mentioned!"

The young man's expression became even more puzzled:
"You still need this kind of thing?"

In his eyes, the poisonous sand produced by the Poison Valley can only have a slight killing effect.

Compared with the awakened ones in front of them, or those well-equipped soldiers.

There is a huge difference in concepts!
He couldn't even imagine that someone would send out such exaggerated force just for these arsenic sands!
“This thing is very valuable, you just don’t know it.”

The young man has accepted the reality, and his tone is a little more relaxed:
"Then how much cinnabar do you want? We... no, we only want you..."

Before the young man could put forward his conditions, Lindsay interrupted:

"All."

"I want this mine!"

Hearing this answer, the young man's expression was completely different from before.

If it was just for the sake of profit, he could certainly give up the poisonous sand and protect the members of his tribe.

But if you take away your home...

In the wasteland world, this is not much different from wiping out an entire family.

But before he fought to the death, Lindsay said directly:
"Don't worry, I don't intend to evict you from your homes. Instead, I plan to give you a long-term, stable life and job."

The young man still held the bow and arrow, with a stunned expression:
"Long-term? Stable? Living? Working?"

He could understand the meaning of a few words, but when put together, it was a completely incomprehensible concept.

Seeing this, Lindsay also shook his head and smiled:
“Do you know Banyan Grove?”

The young man replied blankly:

"do not know."

"It's okay. You'll know later." Lindsay turned and pointed at the soldiers behind him. "See? Just like them."

"To put it simply - you don't have to worry about food and drink in the future. Just do some safe work here."

"..."

The young man was completely stupefied by Lindsay.

He originally thought that this large army would pose a crisis of genocide for himself and his family.

But things took another turn.

For some unknown reason - it seemed to be because he had not shot the arrow just now.

So everything turned into an unimaginably good development.

……

Next, Lindsay led the team to quickly take over the entire cinnabar mine.

12 young people, 4 old people and 4 children, this is the entire population of the cinnabar mine.

As for their strength.

In fact, only the young man holding a bow and arrow was the awakened one.

His name is Nari, and he inherited the skill of element manipulator from his father, and is now at the second stage level.

Elemental Manipulator is a pretty good skill.

Although not as good as Master Fen Heng, there are also examples of breaking through the seven stages.

However, due to the extremely sad atmosphere in the wasteland, Nari did not understand the prospects of the elemental controller. Instead, he admired those free and unrestrained wilderness hunters, so he used his abilities on weapons such as bows and arrows.

It's totally putting the cart before the horse!

Then, there is the ore stored in this camp.

As their only external commodity, these people also usually mined cinnabar and hid a batch of it in underground mines.

Lindsay took them all without hesitation.

He did not save the source material and transport the cinnabar ore back to the town. Instead, he took it out of the furnace directly and processed it using the workbench system.

After some operations, Lindsay counted the items in the bag:

"Mercury—40 units."

"This amount is enough to upgrade the City Hall!"

Lindsay looked excited.

This number means that as long as he returns to the camp and waits for the required gold coins to be minted, the base can be upgraded immediately.

Then, across the ages.

Think of the changes in cities brought about by the last era of progress.

Lindsay is confident that this era upgrade will definitely be something worth looking forward to.

For example, the technological research and development of the [Second Base].

Lindsay was in a great mood.

Later, in the cinnabar mine, he selected the manager from among the accompanying members, arranged the soldiers, and divided the working hours of the workers.

Wait until everything is arranged.

Lindsay called Vivian over alone:
"Vivian, let's act together from now on."

Vivian looked a little confused:
"Action together? Shouldn't I be in charge of the mine?"

"No, I want to give you a more complicated job," Lindsay said. "Next, I will take you back to the banyan forest. After you go back, you will bring a group of people here to establish a mature trade route and improve the mineral transportation process."

"How about it? Are you confident that you can do it?"
