Chapter 367: The Big Purchase
It has been more than three months since entering the end of the world, and after gradually adapting to this cruel law of survival of the fittest, the survival rate of human beings has also been greatly improved, but even so, in just three months, the human mortality rate has been as high as 50%!
It is only based on the former Jinling City, not counting those who fled to other places early and were displaced, I am afraid that there are no more than one million people who are still surviving in the local area.
But now, when they were told that all they had experienced for these three months was the calm before the storm, how many of those survivors would survive when the real demon came?
No one has an answer.
Everyone in the Glory Regiment is very happy these days, and after the invincible city of Qingdao City sent people to Hope City to officially sign the covenant, everyone understands that the days of fighting alone are gone.
Among the four teams, except for the jihadist organization in Hunan Province that is still recovering, and the lack of combat power is basically negligible, the other three teams all have good battles, and the highest combat power in the team has exceeded 40,000.
The establishment of the magic array made the covenant more solid, and a large number of local specialty resources continued to circulate among the various teams, such as Qingdao's seafood, which was praised by people in several cities in the mainland, and the first batch of seafood on the day of delivery was snapped up by the survivors almost instantly.
The free team led by Gu Yingyue is rich in basic energy ores, which are relatively scarce in both glory and invincibility, especially in Qingdao, which is invincible in the world, backed by the vast sea, and there is almost no place to mine energy ores. There are some small mountain ranges in Jinling City that produce ores, but the glory has too much appetite, and the magic cannon is simply a bottomless pit of power stones, and no matter how many power stones are enough.
Especially in the glory internal meeting two days ago, under the chairmanship of Haoren and Qin Yang, a proposal to build an additional 12 magic cannons was passed again.
This proposal caused a lot of discussion in Hope City, as the highest-level strategic weapon of Glory, the power of the magic cannon was naturally incomparable, and as they went to communicate with more teams in other cities, they gradually knew about it. A weapon of this level as the magic cannon. At present, at least in China, Honor is the only team that has mastered its technology, and there are probably only a handful of teams in the world that have actually mastered its technology.
The people of Hope City are naturally very proud, and now they have long shared the glory and disgrace of the city and this team. It's clear to everyone. If you want to survive, you want the city to not fall. Glory does not fall.
Since it is a strategic weapon, the more magic cannons the better, after all, this thing is built, used and maintained on a daily basis. The expenses are staggering. This expenditure is funded by Honor, but the money will eventually be apportioned to the entire Hope City tax revenue.
In short, two words, plus taxes!
It has been a month since the implementation of the tax system in Hope City, and the initial effect is very considerable, and the vast majority of rational people are still able to recognize the stakes and are willing to take the initiative to pay, so that the warehouse of Hope City is suddenly rich in a large amount of funds, and the era of only relying on donations from a few major members such as Haoren is gone. The invincible people who came to visit the world were even more envious and jealous of this, and the invincible small group management model of the world was destined to be difficult to implement this tax system.
But if taxes are raised frequently, it will always cause dissatisfaction among some people, and an extra few hundred doomsday coins per month may not care for a strong person of Haoren's level, but for ordinary survivors who are still struggling with silver equipment or even bronze equipment, a few hundred doomsday coins often mean a gap in equipment or a skill, and this may be the key to life and death.
In any case, in the boiling and shouting discussions, this decision was still passed in its entirety, in the glory of the high-level, but anyone who has the weight to speak, is basically obedient to Haoren, and wants to restrain Haoren in terms of rights, which is an idea that only idiots will have.
If there is a magic cannon, then there must be more energy ores, so Glory and Freedom cooperated, and Glory directly obtained the right to transfer all the energy ores in several mountains near Freedom through technology transfer.
"I don't understand what you're thinking, 14 magic cannons, are you crazy? The cost of firing a salvo of 14 guns is estimated to be enough for a medium-sized team to go bankrupt and declare disintegration! In Liberty City, just after reaching a cooperation agreement, Gu Yingyue rolled her eyes at Haoren, shook her hair and walked out of the room.
Freedom is not like glory has an exclusive castle, it is the kind of old building with simple equipment, after the end of the agreement, everyone naturally dispersed, Haoren walked out with Gu Yingyue, Freedom City is not glorious and prosperous, because freedom In addition to this city, there are two sub-cities.
"Actually, you don't have to worry, now that humanity has a common enemy, that kind of internal strife at least we will not do." Haoren said quietly, he understood that this intelligent woman was probably a little worried about Glory's crazy construction plan.
"Ambition, there will be in any era." Gu Yingyue spit out a sentence lightly, turned her head and stared at Haoren up and down for a few seconds, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "But I believe that a guy like you is definitely not that kind of person." ”
Haoren was slightly depressed: "Are you exaggerating or sarcastic?" ”
Gu Yingyue diverted the topic: "Tell me about your plan, suddenly building a magic cannon on such a large scale, unlike your style, haven't you done a good job in the previous sieges?" I haven't even used the magic cannon, and although the future enemy is unpredictable, it's a bit of a grass and tree to start guarding against it now. ”
Since the end of the tragic battle of the siege of the undead legion, the city of hope has not been peaceful since then, and since the new year, with the cover of volcanic ash, a large number of mutant monsters have become extremely ferocious and aggressive towards humans because they can't find food, and even gradually began to frantically besiege human settlements in groups.
During this period, Hope City was besieged a total of four or five times, the smallest scale was only more than two hundred mutant monsters, and the largest one was forty or fifty thousand mutant monsters.
At that time, the people of Hope City were really frightened, thinking that there would be another battle of the level of the undead legion, but as a result, it only took one day for the glory to succeed in defeating the mutant legion without even firing the magic cannon. In addition to the more than 10,000 monsters that escaped, the remaining mutant monsters were all turned into everyone's experience doomsday coins and equipment, which made the troops who cleaned up the battlefield happy, because according to the regulations, they could get a commission from them.
