Chapter 31: A Prosperous Camp
Above the dwellings below are neat rows of pale green bungalows that can be seen into the city, and one of every dozen bungalows is the entrance to the underground dwellings, and each bungalow is also a trading place.
Through the entrance "elevator" of the bungalow, through a layer of solid earth and roots up to 20 meters thick, the underlying dwelling place is reached.
Huge pillars support the huge underground space, and at the same time, these pillars are also elevators leading to the underground. Of course, this elevator is different from the elevator of the past, but by carving runes, it has been made into an elevator with the same function as the past.
The elevator reaches the underground, where there are dense buildings.
This is the first layer of dwelling underground, and if there are more people in the future, you can build dwellings layer by layer. At the same time, the roots of the seed tree will also wrap around the dwelling ground underneath, so that it will not be attacked by underground beasts.
The survivors' habitat is built underground with all these benefits, such as saving space, it doesn't matter how many people there are, it can be built all the way down, and in a state of war, it can be better to evacuate, as long as the entrance to the rows of bungalows on the top floor can form a perfect shelter, and the rows of neat bungalows can become a fast road in wartime, and the powerful guardians who live on the seed tree can support the front line.
And when manpower is scarce, the area to defend will not be too large, so it is impossible to have a huge city, and if you can't expand the area to the plane, then you can expand the place of residence down or up.
Houses with seed trees, a second-order high-level creature, are sturdy and woody to avoid the attacks of most beasts, and the beasts that break through the defense line and enter the camp are generally relatively weak creatures, and the powerful creatures are blocked by the soldiers and guardians on the city walls, and the weak creatures, first, humans don't have so much manpower to stop them, and second, these creatures won't cause much harm.
Therefore, the battlefield on the front line intentionally or unintentionally ignores these weak creatures, and blocks those invincible and powerful beasts. After repelling the powerful beasts, you can turn around and catch the turtles in the urn to clean up these vulnerable "headless flies"!
Of course, there are all kinds of disadvantages to living underground, that is, it is too depressing. However, this disadvantage is a benefit in the post-cataclysmic apocalypse, because when human beings are in danger, they will have a kind of psychological comfort when they are in a safe and closed place.
In addition, because it is a house made of trees, it is in a comfortable atmosphere, and the air circulation is not turbid because it is an underground place, and it is more like a living plant.
And the living conditions and entertainment methods are not nothing, after all, this is the end of the world, not the era of peace, and living in the end of the world is the greatest enjoyment.
Although the entertainment method is not as good as in the past, all the basic living needs such as lighting and household garbage in the underground can still be perfectly solved, and the convenience is that these rooms are alive, as long as there is a template, and then the lines such as pipes are planned, you can cover the entire camp.
It's incredibly easy to build.
Although there is no problem with the place to live, there is no problem with the water, because of the rainy season, the huge roots of the huge seeds store a large amount of pure water resources, not to mention, there are one or more underground dark spots near the site with no seeds.
So, for the people who live in Taneseed City Base City, water is not an issue.
The biggest problem is the food!
As mentioned earlier, all the edible plants and animals that were familiar in the past have mutated, become inedible, and even highly poisonous! There was only a small remnant of the stored food that had been sealed and stored, but it had already become precarious a few months after the cataclysm.
Food is in front of every survivor.
Although the higher-ups already knew that the owner had successfully created a usable plant, no one was willing to say it before it grew, and even if it grew and could be eaten by everyone, they would still give out enough food for the survivors to starve to death and not survive well, and the food would be a single food without the slightest taste. If you want more and better food, you need your own level and the prey you hunt in exchange.
Because they understand that human beings are the inferior roots of this creature.
Lazy!!
Without motivation, humans may not even be as good as pigs!
And after giving them enough food, the vast majority of people will just nest in the underground city, eating and waiting to die, doing nothing. And after this method is used, maybe there will still be those who eat and wait for death, but more will go out and fight.
They have an even more ruthless trick, each survivor can't stay in the base city for more than a month, and after a month, they have to go out of the base city for three days. After staying for three days, you can return to Base City.
Fortunately, thanks to the magic of the seed tree, the top management of the base can perfectly manage every survivor.
Because each survivor will have a wooden card, this wooden card will store their various information, only with this wooden card can enter the base city, and the new survivor will be in the monitoring room near the door, check whether the newcomer is human, and then issue his information wooden card.
And this wooden card will have a trace of the spiritual power of the seed tree, and it will continuously transmit back information to the seed tree.
With this ability, the Seed Tree higher-ups perfectly monitored each of the survivors. It also makes every instruction perfectly distributed to the survivors, instead of being misinterpreted and varied as in the past!
Because of this ability of the seed tree, the base city has created a trade currency, that is, spirit coins, a currency made from a place where the number of seeds exudes strange spiritual power, just like the coins of the past, but this one is thinner and has more types of currency.
Because the spirit coin made through the seed tree has a peculiar spiritual power, everyone can feel whether the spirit coin is real or fake, and cannot and will not be imitated.
Although it is said that the identity card can also be used as a bank card, the mental power of ordinary people cannot break through the body surface, so it is impossible to communicate with the identity card, so this function is still abandoned.
However, this may be possible in the future.
In fact, there are also dirty transactions in the seemingly prosperous base city, which is inevitable and must exist.
Slave trade, grain and snack trade, ****... Wait, wait!!
In addition to the underground city, the rows of shops on the ground, in the center of the base city is the giant tree at that moment, in a straight and thick smooth trunk straight into the sky, the huge crown quietly disappeared into the boundless clouds, as for the green trunk, like a pillar of heaven, supporting the crumbling sky in people's hearts.
There are privileges everywhere, but even more so after the apocalypse!
