The Ishii people, who were following the path of nature, frowned when they saw two steampunk beans approaching, but one of the elders spoke.

"We can no longer focus on the conflicts of the past. If our relatives are to survive, we have to work together," he said, but he couldn't resist continuing. "The universe has shown us the right path, and I believe that the lost will soon return to their homeland. ”

Zach kind of understood what the old druid meant. The two camps of the Shishou faction are basically fighting over the issues of nature and technology, and it is clear which side the two camps are on. In fact, he feels a little bad about those who tend to be tech-oriented, because their situation is not very rosy.

Of course, in this new environment, it is possible to become a powerful force with the help of technology. Technocrats are one of the most powerful forces in the multiverse, and they are alive and well even when multiple forces are firing at them. However, technocrats are approaching the limits of technology, and they have the means to travel the universe and unleash terrifying weapons.

These people are not technocrats, and they hardly started on the path of technology. Their progress has lagged behind humanity by hundreds of years, and their weapons may be nearing obsolescence against the increasingly durable beasts of the wild. Zach guesses that unless they go back to the easier way, they will perish.

"Progress is the basic path of life. To conformist is to perish. This doesn't change with the system, it's just strengthened," one of the Ishates retorted with a glaring glare.

"Human, is it true that there really is a town with a flag near your town?" asked another Ishii.

"Yes, our scouts found it a few days ago," Zach replied simply.

This is actually not secret news, and he can be very sympathetic to these people. He understands what it's like to desperately find his home in an infinite new world.

"Please let us go with you when you go. "That's our hometown of Coatstown," they asked with hopeful eyes.

Zach thought it through. He didn't think it was a problem to bring a few people with him on the conveyor belt. Also, bringing these two together when they first come into contact should make it easier for them to form alliances.

"Our town is very remote. In fact, it's not on the mainland. Not sure if you'll be able to come back without using our portal. Do you still want to go?" he said.

"Yes," the two of them replied without hesitation, and Zach just nodded.

"Talk to my companions, humans. He can arrange it," Zach said, pointing to Sap Zhuang, who was still on the phone with Nigel.

Suddenly, two speakers crackled, playing a classical interlude.

"It looks like the auction has started, so forgive me. "I need to get together with my team," Zach said as he walked away.

"Nice to meet you, Zack," Willow said with a smile. "We hope to see you again. ”

Soon he was back with the others. By this time Cowlin had returned, and soon he saw Ogras approaching with a bottle of champagne he had stolen somewhere.

"So far, not much interesting has happened, everyone just sticks to their own little circle and barely speaks. The wine was not bad, we should take some bottles home. ”

Zach sighed and said, "I don't know how much is left, I think in the last few months, a lot of people have turned to bottles to calm their nerves." ”。 "But it doesn't hurt to try. ”

In fact, he agrees with the devil. Although he wasn't a big fan of champagne, he really wanted to bring some beer back to the island, but he felt that most of the beer would be consumed after almost 5 months of fusion.

"Then we'll just get some winemakers," the demons said without thinking, but the remark sparked a thought as Zach turned to Sazhuang.

"Start thinking about a list of occupations that we are currently lacking. From chefs to sanitation workers to scientists. ”

He doesn't really plan to start recruiting in earnest, but now that he's already brought hundreds of refugees, he might as well go all the way. Who knows that if they continue to procrastinate, all the useful people will be snatched away. It may be a bit immoral to start moving more people to the island before the third wave has time to deal with it, but if it gets worse, he can let people escape back to New Washington via the teleporter.

The number of people in the venue clearly showed that at this point, a considerable number of troops had teleporters. Zach knew that it wasn't because people were very wealthy like him, but that his power was rather small compared to many towns. New Washington, for example, is home to hundreds of thousands of citizens, each of whom can afford a teleporter by contributing just one handful of Nexus coins.

If he really intends to create a thriving town, he needs to start thinking ahead. There may still be a window of opportunity, and other forces are primarily looking for strong fighters or mines to join them, ignoring the long-term benefits that non-combat classes can bring to an area.

Atwood Harbour on his island is much safer than most places on the mainland, which should allow him to focus more on recruiting and training many skilled people. He already had an almost insane amount of raw materials to create the armor, and now he only needed craftsmen to actually make and inscribe it.

"Good, now you're thinking about the big picture," Ogras nodded. "I'm tired of living like a homeless person. ”

The group walked together, and a waiter quickly looked at the tickets and led them to the first few seats. It's clear that Zach's riot at Greenworth made some impression on the union, as they apparently sat in one of the best seats in the House.

This is further confirmed when both the bailiff and Billy are sitting not far from them.

"Nigel told me that the strong man sits in the front. I knew you were smart, bald. "But Billy is not only smart, but also rich," the giant said loudly, as he approached them heavily, and one man occupied two seats.

Zach replied with a smile, "I'm sure we both have enough good stuff." ”。

So far he's a big fan of giants, and he looks sincere. He will always take this kind of ally with him, not a calculating person like the demons around him.

The marshals seemed a little surprised to see Zack's group again, and Zach saw the Guardian whispering in the ears of their entourage. He glanced at Zach's team, but only shook his head, looking unsure.

"Hi girl, I heard you're the strongest woman in the human race. We saw you jump the knife ladder some time ago, did you find anything good?Are you interested in selling?" Ogras grinned and looked in the direction of Marshal Thea

"I feel sorry for him. "Different cultures and all," Zach could only sigh.

"The weak often have big mouths to compensate. I'm more curious about you. What's your name?" she said softly as she looked at Zach.

"Well, people call me a monk," Zach said, uncomfortable from the intense glare.

"She had a mouth on her," Mr. Ogras said, unconcerned about the insult. "You should kidnap her back to Port Atwood. You'll have strong kids. ”

The bodyguard frowned at this and was about to move forward, but Thea raised her hand to stop him. At the same time, a stream of blood spurts out of Ogras's throat, surprising both Zach and the demon.

Although Zach was thinking about a trade from the start, he wasn't quite sure what exactly caused him to get hurt. At first he thought it might be a knife field of sharp seeds, but he believed that if that was the case, he would feel that familiar feeling.

"Watch your mouth," Thea said, looking at the devil in disgust.

The shadow wriggled and covered the superficial wound, and soon the bleeding subsided.

"An interesting attack. But be careful at first. You may be strong, but can your companions do the same?" the demon laughed, and Zack's eyebrows raised in horror.

But before Zach could stop anything, the bodyguard grunted, and a shadow spear went through one of his legs, nearly causing him to fall. Thea looked around in surprise, and the old man frowned.

"What do you think? Can you kill me before I kill two of your companions?" Ogras said with a laugh.

"Despicable," said the girl, casting a stern glance not only at the ogre, but at the party as a whole.

"Enough," Zach said as he glared angrily at Ogras, who already regretted bringing him in. "What would you do if you kicked us out before the auction started?"

Ogras laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, we're just having fun before the auction." ”。

"I'm sorry for him, it's a pill that will help your friend recover," Zach said to the police as he pulled out a small glass bottle and threw it at them.

However, the bottle was rejected in the air and shot directly at Zach by some unknown means.

"The Marshall family doesn't need your knick-knacks," Thea said simply, and the three of them sat in seats far away from them.

"Mom always says you should be nice to women because being mean will get you in big trouble," Billy muttered to himself, but with the standard volume of the giant, it turned into an exclamation.

"She sounds like a wise woman," Ogras said only to the giant, making him stand up with joy.

He looked ready to say something, but was distracted by the large curtains on stage and some musicians playing classical music. It was beautiful, but that wasn't what Zach had come for, so he was delighted to see a well-dressed man in a suit walk up to the stage almost immediately, standing behind the podium.

"Welcome to the first grand auction organized by the New World Trade Union. It's an amazing sight to see so many people coming from all over the world. It is truly a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity. Today we are also excited to see friends of other races join us. I hope that this is the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration between our species. ”

The man was clearly accustomed to speaking in public and smoothly took control of the room.

"To make sure there isn't chaos in the game, I review the ground rules. This auction is a classical British auction, and for those who aren't sure what that means, don't worry, I'll go with you to see it. Underneath your chair are numbered rackets that you use to bid on. Just raise the oars and make a bid.

"The standard markup is based on size, but it's generally around 10%. For example, if the price is 10,000 Nexuscoins, each standard bid will be 1,000 Nexuscoins to 50,000, at which point the standard bid becomes 5,000.

The auctioneer smiled and said, "Of course, you can shout out a higher bid amount, but you can't lower the bid amount." ”。

"If you're the highest bidder, your number will appear on the screen behind me. Don't worry you're sitting in the back. There are three people around me, all of whom have Scouting lessons and vision skills, and they will all help me make sure that bids don't go unnoticed. ”

"The accepted payment is World Union Credit, Nexus Coin or Nexus Crystal with a value of 1:50. Please note that no coercion, threats or other interference is allowed during the auction process. First-time offenders will be warned, but repeat offenders will be escorted out of the venue. ”

"I hope you will enjoy this auction and that you will all find something that will help you fight against foreign invaders. The first lot in the auction was a set of five E-grade Nexus crystals," said the auctioneer, as a beautiful woman pushed a trolley.

There was a briefcase in the car, and when the female entertainer opened it, five real E-grade crystals glowed. Almost everyone in the hall was breathing en masse, and even Zach was interested.

The New World trade unions clearly did not back down.
