My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

The small number of people had always been a problem that troubled Tang Yu.

Not only were these guns ineffectively utilized, but more importantly, the limited number of porters restricted the speed of material acquisition.

Tang Yu tapped his fingers on the table. "We need to find a way to attract survivors; we can't just keep waiting passively."

Survivors used to visit the original shelter from time to time. For example, the team of survivors he used to be with came here after learning that there was a shelter here. However, you can't be sure about these things. In addition, with the resort in this state, it's hard to say whether there will be any survivors coming.

Chen Haiping thought for a moment, "Perhaps we can use the radio."

"Broadcasting? Wasn't communication cut off later?"

Chen Haiping organized his thoughts and said, "Communication has not actually been cut off in a real sense. It's just that there are some special components in the air after the apocalypse. These components cause electromagnetic waves to attenuate greatly when they propagate through the air, which makes signal transmission very difficult now."

"In the early stages of the apocalypse, signal transmission was already weakened, but it was still barely possible to receive signals. Later, this weakening ability became stronger and stronger, until about ten days ago, when the signal weakening ability suddenly increased significantly, resulting in almost complete communication disruptions."

"I say almost because the current signal is difficult to transmit to other shelters, but if it is just a signal transmitted a certain distance from the shelter, it is still possible. And I remember there was a signal transmission tower in the resort."

Tang Yu nodded, indicating that he understood. "In the past, news about shelters around here was transmitted through this transmission tower, right?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Haiping shook his head.

"The information was disseminated by the authorities. In the early stages, the authorities called on all parties to establish shelters and airdropped supplies, including food, guns and ammunition, to many shelters, which enabled some small shelters to have the ability to resist the mutated beasts."

"Accepting survivors was also an official requirement. Wang Tai accepted thousands of survivors under official pressure. However, as communication was cut off and the official influence gradually decreased, Wang Tai reduced the relief food for survivors again and again..."

This was news that Tang Yu had not known before; he hadn't expected that there were so many reasons behind the establishment of the shelter.

The plan was thus finalized, but he felt it was still insufficient.

Radio waves don't have a wide enough range, and there are also corresponding receivers, such as radios, which many survivors don't have.

We need to further expand our channels.

"I suddenly had a novel idea. Old Chen, do you remember when we were walking down the street before the apocalypse, we saw GG signs everywhere? I was thinking, we can actually play GG."

"GG??"

Chen Haiping was completely bewildered.

Luo Zhe was completely baffled.

There is a large space behind Villa No. 1.

Previously, taverns and workshops were established here.

This time, Tang Yu plans to build a market next to the tavern.

The market not only allows you to purchase resources, but also occasionally offers rare materials, forging blueprints, skill runes, and more, making it one of the three most important items in the early stages of territory development.

"Establishing a market consumes 300 units of source crystals and 100 units of wood."

From the outside, the market looks like a small shop.

The interior is similar, with only one counter divided into ten sections. Each day, these ten sections will display different products.

Timber resource package (100 units) price: 10 Yuanjing.

Remaining quantity: ten

Stone resource package (100 units) price: 20 Yuanjing.

Remaining quantity: ten

Iron material resource package (100 units) price: 50 Yuanjing.

Remaining quantity: ten

Fire Wolf King's Fur, Price: 250 Source Crystals.

Remaining quantity: one

……

……

Basic Warrior Puppet Crafting Blueprint, Price: 600 Source Crystals

Remaining quantity: one

"Found it!"

Tang Yu was overjoyed. The probability of getting the basic puppet blueprint in the early stages was not low, but he still did not expect that it would appear on the first try.

No wonder I have such a lucky bloodline!

With this blueprint, the workshop can produce basic warrior-type puppets. The puppets produced possess strength comparable to a first-level Awakened being, not only having a certain level of combat intelligence, but also being immortal as long as their core remains intact. Such a puppet, in actual combat, is stronger than an ordinary Awakened being.

However, he valued this blueprint not because of the puppet's combat power.

Rather, it serves as labor.

Such puppets are incredibly strong, tireless, and never complain. If they weren't so intelligent and had such limited mobility, he wouldn't even need to form a transport team.

With the three core buildings already completed in the first-level territory, and the thousands of source crystals in hand, Tang Yu felt he needed to make a good plan.

There are not many materials left, and it is not possible to build anything. We can use this time to make a plan for the development of our territory. Among the many territory buildings, we can choose the ones that will be most helpful at present and then build them.

…………

A small town dozens of kilometers away from the resort.

The town has only two entrances and exits; the rest of the area is surrounded by reinforced concrete walls, which, from a distance, resemble a giant black beast entrenched there.

At the entrance to the town, people came and went. Some were survivors who had traveled a long way and were dressed in rags, while others were combatants returning from searching for supplies or hunting demonic beasts, carrying guns or swords.

This is the Lindong Shelter, the largest shelter in the Lincheng area!

Lindong Shelter, Lanxi Villa.

This was originally a high-end residential area in Lindong County, and now it has become the residence of Lindong officials.

A stream babbles by, and inside a villa overlooking the stream, a middle-aged man gazes out the window with a slight frown.

On the horizon, the setting sun rolled in the crimson glow, half of it already sinking below the dark horizon. In the distance, the survivors who had ventured out were gradually returning. The wilderness at night was the most dangerous place, and any team that could return to the shelter in time would not choose to spend the night in the wild.

Including the team he sent out.

The route from Lindong to the Source Crystal Mine is relatively safe, and it poses no threat to Han Jing's team. According to his estimation, whether or not they found the Source Crystal Mine, they should have already returned to the shelter.

And now...

"Any news yet?"

Lin Wei seemed to be talking to himself when a figure suddenly appeared behind him. The person's face was obscured, and their voice was hoarse as they slowly said, "Still no news."

"Do you think they'll get involved?"

The "they" that Lin Wei was referring to were several big shots in Lin Dong whose status was similar to his. Only these people could attract his attention.

The shadowy figure behind him hesitated for a moment. "It shouldn't be like that. The people sent out this time are all trustworthy, so there's no risk of leaks. Besides, the wilderness is so vast, and there's more than one route. Even if the others wanted to set up an ambush, it wouldn't be easy for them."

"But... it's hard to say with Wang Tai; we don't know if the news might leak out from him."

Lin Wei sneered, "That guy doesn't dare, and he doesn't have the chance to leak it. But he actually dared to make demands of me, he's got some nerve."

"Send out a search team and have them investigate thoroughly. I need the most detailed intelligence!"

An aura emanated from Lin Wei.

He didn't care about the lives of Han Jing and the others, but he wanted to control the source crystal mine as long as there was even the slightest possibility!

"With the source crystal ore, Old Ghost Lu, I won't have to put up with your attitude anymore!"
