The crater is the largest man-made island in the southern archipelago, located at the gateway to the Baiyue Strait in the southern seas, with a total area of about 30 square kilometers, but less than half of the area of the reef and reef.

Viewed from the sky, it is shaped like a doughnut.

It is said that the island once belonged to a wealthy man from the era of prosperity who intended to make it a tourist attraction on the sea.

Unfortunately, the construction of the island was abruptly halted when the three-year war broke out and the construction of the island was abruptly halted.

After the end of the war, the survivors of Bai Viet Province managed to restart the island-building project and widen the outline of the island using construction debris and residual equipment along the coast.

Without the support of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, it took them nearly 30 years to complete the work that took only half a year before the war, just like Yugong moving mountains, and all of them were relocated to this artificial island about 50 years after the wasteland era.

Traders in Silvermoon Bay refer to this crater settlement as the pearl of the southern seas, while the locals themselves take the name Seagull Harbor.

It is said that it was the seagulls who led them to this sacred place away from xenomorph infestation.

Later, another 50 years, about 100 years after the Wasteland Era, the population and living standards here ushered in explosive growth, from less than 100 people at the beginning to more than 100,000 today.

According to Silvermoon Bay's sources, the main reason for this phenomenon is that the merchants of Silvermoon Bay discovered the port and brought them an abundance of food.

However, Sisi feels that the real situation may not be so simple.

The merchants of Silvermoon Bay don't give food to the people here for free, they must have something worth their trip.

Pearls, shells, fish in the deep sea, and garbage along the coast..... If it's just that, it won't sell for much at all. Combined with the clues from Vault 70, it all makes sense.

Around 100 years of the Wasteland Era, Vault 70 was released from lockdown, bringing the technology of the Age of Prosperity to the local fishermen.

The development of technology has not only improved the efficiency of fishing, but also improved the habitable area and living standards of the islands by leaps and bounds.

It's like Vault 404's effect on Dawning City.

The technologically advanced Seagull Harbour soon became the jewel of the southern seas, attracting traders from Silvermoon Bay and Borneo Province.

The merchants of the Hump Kingdom brought an abundance of grain here, and the turbulent province of Borneo provided an abundance of labor. At the same time, Seagull Harbor's technology was introduced to both places along trade routes.

And this is also the main reason why the production technology of the Hump Kingdom, which is located in the corner of the desert, is relatively ahead of other kingdoms in Luoxia Province.

Relying only on the white pigeon as a researcher from the academy, no matter how much black technology is installed in his head, it is obviously not enough to raise a conservative feudal kingdom to the level of the Enlightenment period....

Closely following the two speedboats, Si Si, piloting the Flesh, soon saw the island standing abruptly above the blue waters.

I saw ships of different sizes moored next to the pier, white seagulls fluttering their wings above the harbor, a peaceful and peaceful scene.

This is not the first time they have arrived.

The last time I passed through here was at the end of last year.

At that time, there was no federation, and the islands in this sea area were all in their own way, and this appearance of strict defense was unprecedented.

"What's that ship doing?" Standing on the edge of the ship, Flesh looked curiously at a flatbed cargo ship not far away, throwing barbed black metal balls into the sea.

Holding the tail of the telescope, he stared intently. "Oh! Mines!"

Flesh gave her a surprised look. "Really?"

Tail looked at her with a raised brow.

"Yikes! What kind of words is this, the tail is like a joke person?" Flesh looked to the side with a subtle expression.

Isn't it?

But to be honest, it does look a lot like a mine.

Si Si, who was standing on the bridge, looked at the cargo ship that had been converted into a warship, and frowned slightly. From the quiet and peaceful sea breeze, she smelled something unusual.

Cargo ships docked at the port.

The man who had shouted to the ship grabbed the ladder and climbed up to the deck with great dexterity, and said as he looked down the gangway next to the bridge.

"I'm the Coast Guard Captain here, Muda." "Siss, helmsman of the Meat."

Mu Da didn't talk nonsense and asked straight to the point. "Where's your captain?"

"This one." Si Si pointed to the flesh and replied truthfully.

The latter smiled innocently, raised his huge palm, and looked afraid of life. "Hey."

"Hi .....". It didn't seem that he had ever seen a talking bear, Mu Da was obviously stunned, but he still subconsciously said hello. Taking advantage of his stunned effort, Si Si took over the conversation and asked.

"There's a war here?"

"Yes....." Adam's apple moved, and Muda withdrew his gaze from the fleshy body, looked at Sisi who was asking, and nodded. Seeing that his guess had been confirmed, Si Si continued to ask.

"Who are your enemies?"

Mu Da did not shy away from it, and said bluntly. "Vault 70."

Flesh and Tail glanced at each other, and suddenly quickly covered each other's mouths. Mu Da glanced at the man's reaction strangely.

"Talking bear.... It's the first time I've seen you, are you from the North Pole?" Siss: "The North Pole?"

Muda gestured with his hand and explained.

"I've read in books that polar bears look like this."

Breaking free of the fleshy bear paws, the tail suddenly said with a serious face.

"No, our flesh is actually a brown bear with albinism."

"Yes..... Is that so?" The man was stunned, and looked at the talking bear with a hint of apology in his eyes. Flesh glared at Tail and made eye contact.

Don't add some weird characters to me - no, bears! Tail stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

What does it matter? ＇

While the two were gagging, Si Si had been observing the change in the expression on the man's face.

Keenly caught the fleeting apology, a thoughtful expression appeared between her eyebrows, and she suddenly spoke.

"We want to procure some supplies here, what are the procedures?" Mu Da said succinctly.

"There are no formalities, we welcome merchant ships to come here to do business, but as you can see, this is a special time. Please understand that we have to inspect your ship's cargo."

"No problem, come with me."

With that, Sisi led him straight into the cabin.

Looking at Muda, who was following Sisi towards the cabin, Sesame Paste walked to the side of the tail with some concern and asked in a low voice. "Is it okay for him to see the people under the cabin?"

The index finger dragged on the chin, the tail thought seriously for a moment, and said in an affirmative tone. "Well, Tail thinks there's nothing wrong with that."

Flesh looked at her curiously. "Why?" Tail grinned slyly. "Pirate intuition!"

Meat: ".....!"

That's a casual reason, isn't it..

Following the woman named Sisi into the cabin, Muda had been cautiously observing the surroundings and the mercenary-looking crew.

When he came to the bottom of the gangway and followed Si Si through the hatch into the lower cargo hold, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

The spacious cargo hold was densely packed with people, at least hundreds, at a rough count. Seeing the shock in his eyes, Siss, who was standing aside, continued.

"There's more down there." Muda's Adam's apple moved. "It's ......"

Si continued.

"Moon people of Borneo, have you heard about what happened there?" Muda shook his head, looked at her and asked.

"No.... What's going on there?" Sis lowered his voice and continued.

"The Xilan Empire is systematically cleansing the Moon people of the Borneo province, robbing them of their property and reducing them to slavery, and if we leave them alone, they may have been sold to slave traders in shackles..... Like most of the hapless wastelanders in the wasteland."

Muda stared at the men carefully, and found no slave shackles or any obvious marks on them.

The people in the cabin were watching him cautiously as well.

It seemed to feel that the man in front of him was going to decide the fate of his group, and those eyes couldn't help but pray.

Muda was also a little unbearable.

However, sympathy is sympathy, and he could not have allowed a group of refugees to overwhelm the order of Seagull Harbor just because of this pale reason of sympathy.

After all, it was only a small island of less than thirty square kilometers, and there were already nearly 100,000 survivors living on the island. "We're welcoming travelers, but—"

Seeing what was going on in his mind, Sisi asked. "But you didn't think about accepting so many people, did you?"

Muda nodded silently and continued after a moment.

「.... It's going to get us in trouble, and we don't have that much extra space for these people." Guess he'd say that.

Sisi sighed and continued helplessly.

"I understand, we didn't expect you to take over this trouble.... But can we turn a blind eye to the people on board and allow us to procure some supplies at the port? Come on, we can't find anyone around here who will take us in but you."

Mu Da was silent for a long time, as if he was hesitating, but in the end, the conscience in his heart prevailed and he nodded slowly. "Okay.... But you have to promise us that you can only let a maximum of ten.... Twenty people leave the ship, if you don't want to get into trouble."

With a relieved smile on his face, Sisi stretched out his right hand in thanks. "Thank you, I promise you."

"You're welcome."

Holding her hand and shaking it, Muda let go of her hand, took one last look at everyone in the cabin, and turned to walk in the direction of the gangway.

......

"Wasteland Online" official website forum, player communication section.

After taking a quick shower after going offline, Sisi rubbed a towel on his head casually, then sat in front of the computer with wet hair, and updated the events of the game during the day in the serial post.

"Big news! The map of the Southern Seas is suspected to be a major update! The Commonwealth of the Southern Islands and Vault 70 at the bottom of the sea have been newly added, and the two sides are currently in an exchange of fire for unknown reasons, and ships entering the sea will be subject to inspection by federal ships."

"We have now obtained permission to dock at Seagull Harbor, and intend to try to stay there for a while and find the exact coordinates and entrance to Vault 70."

"There is a backlog of unsold goods in the port that have been affected by the war, including pearls, shells and seabed salvage. At present, the port is in urgent need of strategic materials such as rubber, polymer fiber, glyceryl trinitrate, sugar, and grains, and the prices range from 20% to 50% higher than the average market price last month.

"Also, ask if you have any friends at Silvermoon Bay or Oasis 4?" Our side needs to be replenished with some dry rations and 155, 20 ammunition. If you can help transport it to the vicinity of the Baiyue Strait, you can be rewarded handsomely!"

Considering that the planned private message did not mention that the relevant information could be made public, Sisi hesitated and did not update the activation code to the post.

The post had just been updated, and soon more than a dozen replies popped up. 1999.

"I, I, I!" "Rich woman

Kangkang, me!"

"Wait, how big a boat do you need?"

"Do you want mercenaries? We have a hundred strength for the animals!" "Can you go by land? I don't have a boat."

"Stupid! You can just rent one!"

This "outing" post has been updated since last year.

At that time, the White Bear Knights were still in Petra Fortress, and they had just come into contact with the White Dove and his "Little Red" for a short time.

At that time, Sisi found that the content updated in the post would be automatically collected into the official setting and tagged with the creator.

Since then, she has been updating her posts with some information she has collected along the way, including local customs and cultural customs.

In particular, the official website focuses on the part of Borneo Province, several large settlements and major ports, almost all of which she wrote.

Because of this, the alliance also created an additional trade route to Borneo province out of thin air, and many life professional players made a lot of money by exchanging cheap industrial products produced by the alliance for two-headed cattle, leather, and spices.

Having tasted the sweetness of ocean trade, many players in the trade stream have bookmarked this post.

In addition to the regular updates of the post owner Sith himself, there will also be other players who follow the recommended route to add clues to the ruins, side quests, and interesting NPCs or monster lairs that they have been to but have not discovered.

She didn't expect this post to attract so much attention and spread out like the branches of a large tree into a leafy canopy.

Although the White Bear Knights are not a serious legion, but only a caravan registered in the Merchant Guild, unknowingly, this four-like team born out of a joke of "riding meat" has now also had a good influence on the forum.

Although there is still a big gap compared to the big guys like Fang Chang, Mole, and Quanshui, as a player in the T2 echelon, it is already quite powerful.

"Anyway, Ah Guang suddenly updated the map thousands of kilometers away, and I always felt that something was wrong." Irena: "+1, this guy didn't even make an announcement to mention it, it's really not like his style." (funny)" Elf King Fugui: "Is there a possibility, the next expansion is over there." (funny)"

Settle in the ground: "! Dog planners don't talk about martial arts!" Pinch: "You're gone."

Buried in the Ground: "(Embarrassing)"

Looking at the increasingly lively discussions on the screen, and there are people helping to make suggestions, Sisi can't help but smile with satisfaction on his face. It would be nice to attract some players to this area.

Partnering with other players has a much higher success rate than exploring alone, especially if you're far from the Alliance. At this moment, a familiar line of ID suddenly popped up in the post.

Tail: "Oh! Since everyone is so interested in the world on the other side of the sea, why don't we build our own port here? (Wicked laughter)"

The moment he saw this line of news, Ston was stunned

Before she came back to her senses, dozens of posts instantly swiped out under the post. Less calf: "?"

Makabarzi: "Really?!"

Tail: "Oh! Of course it's true! The tail is out of the word, and the horse is difficult to chase! As a sign of sincerity, the White Bear Knights will invest five million silver coins first!"

Roshan Big Bun: "(Stimulation)" Quit Smoking: "6666!"

Night Ten: "Sounds interesting, we followed the Cow Horse Group. (funny)"

Fang Chang: "It's really interesting, the Baiyue Strait is just stuck in the middle of the east and west coasts of the Central Continent, and it would be outrageous if there was no port in such a good location. Well, the Ten Night Brothers have already raised their hands, so let's throw five million to test the water first."

Night 10: "! Are you serious?! (Shocked)"

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "Our Skeleton Syndicate is with us!" Five million!" Elf King Fugui: ", when did we become so rich!"

Canyon on the run mole: "Hey, end

The game on the point cloud made a small profit, and in a few months I will give dividends to the brothers." Tail: "!! Are the bigwigs serious? In other words, can you vote for Cr? Desperate need for foreign exchange! QAQ」

Fang Chang: "There's a problem! Come on, I'm optimistic about you. (squinting smiles)" Raven: "Can I vote for 500,000?" 0.0」

Tail: "Oh! No problem! The more the merrier! The tail will make the contract for a stake in the meat port in a while! (//////)" Fujito: "Well, I'd like to cast a little bit too..... But can you change the name? It's either bad or weird. (blushing)"

Tail: "Huh! Weird, isn't it? Σ（A＇）」

I don't know which floor it started from, but the post is completely crooked.

No one is talking about how to play the new map, and there is a lot of talk about the name of this future pearl of the sea and where the port is on the map.

For the league's first overseas business, players exploded with extraordinary enthusiasm.

Seeing that so many people were interested, Fang Chang simply proposed to purchase a civilian inflatable airship from Dawning City, and first send a batch of supplies and personnel to the southern sea area by air.

This guy seems to be genuinely bullish on the future economic potential of this area.

And some players with civil engineering backgrounds are even more interested in proposing that they plan to take this flight to the local field survey and take a few photos to study and study.

An overseas infrastructure project worth hundreds of millions of silver coins has shown a rough prototype in this gossip atmosphere.

Looking at the investment amount that has broken through the 30 million silver coins mark and is still growing rapidly, Si Si sitting in front of the computer has been completely stunned.

At first, she just planned to find an opportunity to make a small hole in the ship, and then use the excuse of repairing the ship to take the initiative to run aground in the port of the crater, or if it really didn't work, she could rely on ten days and half a month, and delay them until they finished the task before leaving.

I didn't expect her pattern to be small.

Ah Wei, this guy took a picture of his home directly at the door of his house! But--

It's not necessarily a bad idea.

Although the Hump Kingdom's plan to colonize Baiyue Province ended in failure, it does not mean that they will repeat the mistakes of those people.

At least in terms of biotechnology alone, the Alliance's reserves are more than one rank higher than those of the Humpback Kingdom!

Not to mention that with the alliance's current huge industrial capacity, it is fully capable of supporting the construction of an overseas colonial port! The more Si Si thought about it, the more excited he felt, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.

"Good fellow..... Yes, Ah Ao!"

At this moment, she didn't know that a certain dog planner in the other world couldn't help but blurt out a "good guy" after seeing this amazing brain hole.

Today's players not only draw their own cakes, but have even learned to take the initiative to help them make cakes. In other words, is this a "14-day experience card" used to prostitute a settlement for nothing?

It's a crazy deal! --
