On the other side, with Xu Yuan's reply and a bag full of money, Wang Maofeng returned to the stronghold.

Facing the expectant face of the old folks, he didn't say anything, but immediately called a few village chiefs of the survivor settlement and held a simple meeting.

Although there is still some uneasiness in my heart. But these survivors still nodded and accepted Xu Yuan's conditions, expressing their willingness to join under the banner of the new country, as an economic zone under the jurisdiction of the new country, and accept the rule of the military **.

Soon, they were glad about their decision.

As Xu Yuan promised, there was not much to be paid by these poor people.

Except for the fact that a team of soldiers from the new country would patrol various villages every day to purchase supplies such as cement, source crystal, and bitter harvest, there was almost no impact on their lives.

Rather, because of the arrival of the new soldiers, there were far fewer looters and radiators in the vicinity.

A week after the Constraint arrived in Sector 7, a U-shaped tower was erected on the vacant lot between the military outpost and the sewage treatment plant.

At the same time, a second light airbag airship also arrived at the military outpost, bringing the first supplies.

This supply includes ammo, groceries, and food to cheer all the soldiers on!

Even if it's a compressed biscuit, as long as it's not a sour nutritional mixture, what could be happier than filling your stomach in this desperate world?

The surplus food was used to trade with local survivors.

Often a box of compressed biscuits can be exchanged for a bag of cement, or a dozen source crystals, or a survivor chick serving all night.

The military discipline of the new country does not allow strong X, but it does not prevent voluntary transactions between the two parties, as long as it is not on duty.

After all, everyone is also human, and it is easier to make trouble if you hold it for too long.

Of course, the survivors of the compressed biscuits in exchange will not eat them themselves, and they can be exchanged for at least 20 source crystals when they are taken to the Ghana Federation, and they are often priceless.

Later, after obtaining Xu Yuan's consent, these survivors simply set up tents next to the military outpost, forming a small market.

Occasionally, passing caravans would come here to check out and exchange useful things.

The light airship stayed at the outpost for only one day, and the next day it returned to the ninth sector with 67 women rescued from the dungeon.

And with the arrival of the second airship, the large survivor forces entrenched in the seventh district have also cast a vigilant gaze on the new country.

Originally, they thought that Xinguo was just passing through here, but now they saw that they were building outposts and sending supplies, and this posture was obviously intended to stay here.

Both the Ghanaian Federation and the Gree Federation sent spies to this military outpost.

They mingle in the market, keeping a close eye on the movements of these outsiders.

In the United City, the Presidential Palace.

"The new country has only about 500 troops, but it is very well equipped, at least to the extent that each person has a mechanical exoskeleton."

Standing in the old office meeting, Liu Haitao, Ghana's federal chief of staff, reported to the president.

"What about power armor? Do they also have power armor? Sitting in the chair belonging to the president, Qin Mingkun asked in a deep voice what he was most concerned about.

The power armor inherited from the army in front of the station is the trump card of the Ghana Federation in the face of the crowd tactics of the Gree Federation, and it is also the most powerful combat unit of the Ghana Federation.

Liu Haitao pondered for a moment before speaking.

"They also have power armor, but it's not like it's a front-of-station product, it's like it's handmade,"

"That is, they are slightly inferior to us in strength."

"Not necessarily, they still have a steel airship that they don't know what they're used for." Liu Haitao said.

Qin Mingkun sneered disdainfully.

What kind of era is this, still using shabby things like airships, will anyone give them the opportunity to fly overhead?

Not to mention a quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun, even an infantry gun can take that thing down.

"Is Zhao Deyang dead?"

"I don't know, the people from the new country haven't contacted us yet, and our spies can't get inside the military outpost." Liu Haitao shook his head and said.

……

At the same time, in the Gree Federation, it is the same scene.

"Returning to Your Excellency the Federal Governor, it has been found that there are more than 500 members of the New National Regiment stationed near the sewage treatment plant, and they are well armed."

A man dressed in a retro costume knelt down on one knee and said respectfully to the man sitting on a chair carved of gold.

"I want to know how much combat power that airship has." The man sitting on the golden chair crossed his legs, and he didn't look like an emperor.

As Zhao Deyang said, more than ten years ago they were just a group of predators, but now they have grown stronger.

Although they whitewashed their past with "royal palace" and "dragon robe", this did not change their roots.

From their words and deeds, this obvious sense of disobedience can be perceived.

"I don't know yet."

The emperor put down Erlang's legs and stood up with a slap of the chair.

"Pass my order, gather all the ministers, and discuss countermeasures."

"Yes!"

……

Shelter 76, located in the 7th arrondissement, is located in a wilderness at a depth of about 1,000 meters.

Strictly speaking, the geology is not suitable for building deep shelters, but the approval of the shelter project was before 2467, when the global situation was high, space technology was advancing rapidly, and people from all over the world were looking to the future, and no one believed that there would be war.

Place** just to get the job done. The government gave a target for the number of civil air defense projects, so the construction was symbolically started in this vicinity.

It wasn't until after the war that the local government realized that the shelter plan was not a joke, so it made up for the lack of a face-saving project and focused on reinforcing several face-saving projects.

Finally, before the war, a shelter was built here to provide shelter for 10 million people.

On the way to the shelter, you can also see the abandoned maglev train platform.

But now it was overgrown with weeds, thorny vines wrapped around the magnetic tracks, and the wild wolves hiding in the shadows rubbed their claws and bared their teeth at the approaching New Nation soldiers.

"Is this your hometown?" Looking at the stone tablet corroded by acid rain, Xu Yuan said casually.

The handwriting of [Shelter 76] is blurred, and the tin rooms scattered near the station can be faintly seen with bullet holes and burning.

"Let's just say that, after all, I was born here." A nostalgic smile appeared on Xu Ruiwen's face, and she reached out and gently stroked the stone tablet.

It's like caressing the tombstone of the deceased.

A tombstone belonging to civilization.

"Be careful, president."

Noticing the wild wolves lurking among the bushes, Zhao Wei raised his rifle and took two steps forward with the two guards next to him, protecting Xu Yuan and Xu Ruiwen.

"Whew!"

Seeing that they had been discovered, more than a dozen wild wolves immediately roared and ran out, opening their bloody mouths.

Several guards unhurriedly pulled the trigger and took the dozen or so animals. Raw beaten into a sieve.

"Good job" Xu Yuan patted Zhao Wei on the shoulder, "Don't forget about remembering, you have to call me captain here." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Wei said.

"You guys stay at the door, and we'll be able to come out before dark." Xu Yuan glanced at the sky before noon, and then instructed the guards behind him.

Seeing that Xu Yuan planned to leave himself and the others outside, Zhao Wei couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Forgive me, I'm responsible for your safety."

"What's the danger of an abandoned shelter, at most a few mutant cockroaches."

"But ......"

"Alright, here's the order."

Seeing Xu Yuan's resolute attitude, Zhao Wei had to reluctantly agree, organized the soldiers to drive the infantry vehicle to the door, and placed a temporary bunker at the door of the shelter.

And agreed with Xu Yuan that if he didn't come up before 6 o'clock in the evening, he would bring someone down to support.

The reason why Xu Yuan didn't take people down was not out of conceit of strength, but out of the consideration of secrecy.

The secret of eternal life is destined to be in the hands of a few.
