The passage between Kazdel and the city finally brought the first batch of refugees to Lin Yi!

)

Chapter 28:27 Establishing Power and Treating Ore Disease

What Kazdel lacks the least is refugees.

The group of people who just came up are...

Lin Yi counted and found that there were about two hundred refugees who had come to the city to seek survival. They were all ordinary Sarkaz caught in the war, and almost all of them were infected.

At first, Laurentina was excited to ask Lin Yi about the impending refugees, but soon lost interest and returned to repairing the radio. She had wanted to ask if Skadi was among them, but such a thing seemed impossible.

"The War of the Two Kings... I wonder how many more refugees like this could make it to the city and keep this massive city running."

Lin Yi murmured softly, then slowly closed his eyes. Even so, he knew that he couldn't accept too many refugees in the short term.

The city already had enough internal troubles. If Lin Yi continued to recruit refugees and became a target of Kazdel officials, she would be in trouble.

Today's cities cannot withstand external threats.

These Sarkaz had fled here, likely seeking supplies. These refugees were always adaptable. Lin Yi sent a pioneer to meet with them.

It was obvious that these refugees regarded the pioneers as the masters of a certain territory, and they were just acting as refugees who had mistakenly entered the territory.

So, naturally, this group of people accepted to become the first population of this "territory" of the city. In the current Sarkaz, such things are not uncommon, but it was handled so smoothly, which was beyond Lin Yi's expectations.

At the same time, it also made him secretly worried.

In a situation like this, it's certain that these refugees lack motivation. I have to find a way to deal with this problem.

Let’s solve this problem with food and shelter for now.

Lin Yi let out a light breath and thought secretly in his heart.

As for the future, he has his own way.

And the next step is to arrange these guys to work.

Right now, the tasks they can perform are quite limited. Things like infrastructure construction and mining are undoubtedly far more efficient than these people. But in the future, there will be many things that machines cannot do. After all, much of the city's technology is "people-centric."

But they couldn't sit idle. No matter what, leaving these Sarkaz refugees idle was the biggest hidden danger.

With this in mind, Lin Yi decided to send these Sarkaz refugees to explore the city. Similarly, he did so because he had some plans of his own...

........................

With the arrival of the first batch of immigrants, the originally well-organized order seemed to become a little chaotic.

The next day, when the pioneer walked into the place that served as a temporary refugee camp, this was exactly the scene he saw.

The surroundings were in chaos, with a large number of infected people lying on the ground, either fast asleep or looking at the pioneers with dejected eyes. Lin Yi had expected that not many people would follow the order to go out and explore.

However, there were still three or four people who went out to explore.

The pioneer looked around and couldn't help but think this in his heart. He didn't provide these people with food and shelter immediately, but just gave the order first, so this result was only natural.

"Look, the head of Company A is here!"

Such sharp mocking voices rang out among the refugees. The pioneer didn't get angry, but simply raised his chin proudly. He looked around, as if he was just taking a look around...

But just then, not far away, two infected people returned, carrying a person. The person they were carrying was still bleeding, and Originium crystals were all over his body. The other refugees took a look and then looked away with a lack of interest, their eyes still filled with gloating and regret.

There is not a single second difference between the time I calculated and the time I calculated.

The pioneer thought so in his heart.

The two infected carried the injured man back; he was still breathing. Afterwards, the two infected looked around in confusion. It was clear that there was still some kind of strong friendship between them. Then, as if they finally saw the pioneer, they shouted:

"Save him! Save him! Wasn't he sent out by you?! Aren't you responsible for his death?!"

The Sarkaz's attention was drawn to this farce, and they sneered. This man was clearly a newbie in the wilderness, to actually collapse over something like this. He even rashly followed orders from the so-called "leader" before him.

However, they wanted to see how the leader would handle the situation. This kind of embarrassing joke always attracted attention.

But unexpectedly, the pioneer squatted down and calmly asked the two people on the ground:

"What happened? How are you injured?"

"...The three of us were exploring outside. After walking for over ten kilometers, we found a place that looked like the ruins of a laboratory. Then, a monster suddenly jumped out and attacked us. Then, it became like this..."

Listening to the words of the infected, the pioneer remained calm on the surface, but was stunned in his heart.

There is an unexpected surprise?

Forget it, don't think too much about it, just finish this matter first...

Now is the time to set the rules.

"Hmm... well done. Well then, according to the rules that will be announced soon, this thing will be yours."

The pioneer spoke calmly, then pulled out a small bottle from his waist. Inside the bottle were a few drops of dark green, translucent liquid, which looked so tempting...

The two infected people were stunned at first when they saw this scene. Then, before they could react, the pioneer smashed the bottle on the injured person's face.

"what are you doing?!"

"Look for yourself. Don't make a fuss before you understand the situation."

The pioneer stood up and spoke in a stiff and unhappy voice.

The two infected people froze in place after being scolded, looking at the injured person with some dissatisfaction. But the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes.

What is happening here and now is a miracle.

The wounds of the man, who had just been covered in blood and suffering from an almost uncontrollable oripathy, were rapidly healing. Beneath his body, pools of golden liquid flowed out. It was high-purity liquid Originium. The Originium crystals on his body gradually disappeared...

Then, he struggled to sit up slowly with a weak cry, opened his dazed eyes, and muttered:

"Where is this... I'm still alive... Huh?!"

Suddenly, he cried out in surprise, his eyes wide open, as if he had sensed his own condition, and shouted:

"My oripathy is healed?!"

At that moment, the expressions of all the refugees changed.

Greedy eyes stared at the pioneer, as if wanting to devour him completely. However, the pioneer remained standing there, motionless, looking extremely calm, and then he snapped his fingers.

Then, in the distance, hundreds of questionable creatures stood up and walked towards the pioneer. A few questionable creatures quickly stood beside the pioneer, taking a defensive stance. Seeing this scene, the infected people all lowered their heads in dismay.

Seeing this, the pioneer nodded, and then said slowly:

"I think you'll all listen to what I'm going to say about the reward and punishment system, right?"

Chapter 29: 28 K Company Singularity, Sad Thing

In the following moments, the pioneers casually posted the announcement of the reward and punishment system on the newly erected sign. Out of respect for those who questioned them, the Sarkaz did not rush forward, but waited quietly to the side.

After posting the notice, the pioneers left with the refugees around them, leaving the Sarkaz refugees staring at each other in bewilderment.

A moment later, the first Sarkaz refugee stepped forward and began to examine the contents of the notice.

Then, gradually, more and more people came forward to check it out... and everyone who read the notice had a look of confusion and hesitation on their faces.

After a moment, the group looked at each other and nodded vigorously. Soon, Sarkaz refugees began to gradually leave, heading deeper into the city. They were exploring the depths of the city, on their own initiative.

The content of the notice was quite simple. Essentially, it simply listed the prices of basic materials like wood, stone, steel, and possibly source stone crystals. Anyone who found these items would be able to convert them into equivalent "points."

Lin Yi currently had no method for obtaining eyes, so he simply used the points system for now. He would consider issuing currency later.

As for the use of points, they were used to exchange for the most basic survival supplies. Food, shelter... for these Sarkaz refugees, these were exactly what they needed most.

More importantly, Lin Yi had also set up a top-level exchange for items. Besides survival supplies, K Company's healing fluid was also available. And just now, almost everyone had witnessed the power of the healing fluid...

That is a magical potion that can cure the Sarkaz's mineral sickness.

Short-term survival and long-term future were all taken into consideration. It was for this reason that the Sarkaz were so excited at that moment and immediately set out to explore the outside world for these supplies.

However, Lin Yi did some manipulation in this matter itself.

These Sarkaz weren't powerful enough to explore the city's unexplored areas... exploring the city's currently known areas would be sufficient. Therefore, Lin Yi even arranged for some supplies to be placed within the city. Ultimately, Lin Yi's goal in doing all this was to maintain stability and ensure these Sarkaz were constantly motivated.

Therefore, in the last line of the notice, Lin Yi announced a city "taboo." Of course, this was only temporary.

[During the exploration, you are not allowed to snatch things from others. Doubt will be responsible for supervision. If you find any such behavior, all points earned from the exploration will be deducted.]

This temporary taboo is also for the sake of stability. The current city cannot afford any stability problems.

As for the problem of point calculation, Lin Yi simply arranged it to be a question. These robots can still perform these simple tasks.

"Ha... With a population of over 200, it's time to reap the first dividends from them..."

In the cabin, Lin Yi murmured softly, then looked to his side.

After settling the departures and stays of more than 200 people, it is obvious that these 200 people have been determined to be the "permanent population" of the city.

In this way, Lin Yi’s most important goal was achieved.

"Gain population, and by expanding the population, gain madness..."

Lin Yi walked to the well, glanced at the madness piled up on the side, and murmured softly.

"Using this method, I gained a full 1,300 madness... Another ten-shot combo."

Lin Yi pulled up a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then he picked up his madness.

After this round, he still had a lot of things to do. For example, he had to explore the ruins of the laboratory discovered by the Sarkaz refugees, and create a formal currency. Besides that, Lin Yi also had to get these Sarkaz to actually invest in production...

But all this is something that will happen after the ten consecutive rounds are completed.

Throw in madly.

The red roses poured into the bottomless well, and this time, under Lin Yi's shocked gaze, a golden light so strong that it was blinding emerged. Lin Yi had to shield his eyes with his hands, leaving only a slit visible as he looked at the well nervously and expectantly...

Shipped.

And it was a big one!

What could this be? A supreme personality? A powerful body? Or, could it be...

At that moment, countless possibilities surged through Lin Yi's mind. Finally, when he saw what was in his hand, his eyes widened.

"Fuck..."

"Fuck!!!"

“I’m rich!!!”

In his hand was the item he had just pulled out. Thirty spindles, ordinary workshop weapons—none of that mattered. However, a second-level [Identity Verification Authority] was somewhat useful.

The most important thing is the bill that Lin Yi is holding in his hand.

【Singularity Technology Exchange Voucher*1】

A true, golden legend.

Looking at the exchange voucher, Lin Yi's breathing gradually became hot. He looked at the exchange voucher and couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

Please don't release nano-tattoo technology, which is basically useless at this stage! Can you come up with something that can be used directly without the need for advanced technology?

At that moment, Lin Yi began to pray. Then, he threw the singularity into the well.

This may be the most tense time since Lin Yi traveled through time.

Then, Lin Yi waited for the light to dissipate. This time was not long, but to Lin Yi, it seemed as if it would last forever...

Finally, the light faded, and under Lin Yi's nervous gaze, his consciousness drifted away. Then, the singularity he had extracted appeared before his eyes...

Looking at this singularity, Lin Yi widened his eyes.

"Holy crap! I got it!"

"Sad thing!"

What he saw before him was none other than the singularity technology of K Company, the gift from the stars in the original novel...

"Sad things".

........................

Lin Yi stared at the sad thing in a trance for nearly an hour before reluctantly looking away.

"You've arrived just in time... We'll have a lot to deal with next."

Lin Yi continued to mutter to himself. At that moment, many things flashed through his mind...

And there is no doubt that his plan needs to be updated.
