"These two cities ......"

Talking about the two closest sister cities, Steel City and Steam City, the person who came to report was a little hesitant, until he saw the other party's eyes staring at him, and immediately said again: "The managers of these two cities do not intend to give the agreed trade resources, they say that their cities are also in a shortage of resources."

"Short on resources?"

Hearing this, Lawrence snorted coldly and slowly spoke: "The shortage of resources is false, and it is true that you want to watch this city attack and occupy it because of its lack of resources...... It's no secret that they can't be relied on, but luckily the final plan doesn't require so many resources, and we can make up the rest of the rest."

With that, he walked back to the viewing window and looked at the city outside with his hands behind his back.

It is obviously the largest central city in this wasteland today, but no matter where it is viewed, it does not have the slightest flavor of a civilized city, but is full of numbness and death, and there are people who live mechanically like the walking dead.

At this moment, the man who had been in charge of the city for several years seemed to be thinking about something extremely distant.

After a long time, he figured something out, turned around and said in an unquestionable tone, "Pass my order to let the people in the city management increase the daily resource commission for outside waste scavenging from 20% to 40%."

"Four...... Forty percent?"

When he heard this number, he was shocked, as if he had heard something extremely incredible.

"Well, what? Questions?"

Lawrence snorted again, his eyes looked at the other party coldly, and for a moment he attacked the other party with the powerful momentum of his commander.

"This ...... If this order continues, I'm afraid those scavengers and civilians will set off ***."

"Are you eating dry rice when my mechanical suppression force is in charge? Just do it."

Hearing that the other party was worried about this, Lawrence waved his hand indifferently, signaling that the other party didn't need to worry about anything, just go and give his own orders.

"Okay, okay."

When the latter heard the words "mechanical suppression troops", his face immediately changed slightly.

It was as if after hearing these words, I remembered something quite terrible in my heart, and suddenly I didn't have any worries, and I nodded and retreated.

The rusty mechanical door closed again, and Lawrence, who was once again alone, came to the desk near the window, sat down in the soft office chair, and raised his hand to work on the computer in front of him, the kind of pre-war stuff that was probably only available here.

Easily open a file plan on the computer.

Looking at the rows of data displayed above, the leader who had just ruthlessly issued a more intensive "exploitation" of the residents of the city had a slightly emotional expression on his face.

He had invested most of the resources that the city had collected over the years for this plan, and now there was only one last point left to complete, and if it weren't for the control of a group of mechanized suppression forces in his own hands, I am afraid that the guys below would have hanged themselves on the street lamps on the street.

"All sacrifices are necessary because we ......"

Lawrence muttered something to himself, but before he could finish speaking, he frowned slightly, and he keenly felt that the computer screen in front of him seemed to be vibrating.

Computer malfunctioning?

The thought was only in his mind for a second before it was immediately dismissed, as he soon realized that it was not only the computer screen in front of him that was shaking, but also the desk where it was placed, and the entire room.

The huge glass curtain wall hummed loudly, and some small objects that were not fixed simply bounced up and down in shock.

Is this an earthquake?

Lawrence immediately stood up from his seat, his face quite serious, because he knew that if it was really an earthquake, it would probably be a big deal about the city

When fragile cities cause much damage.

But soon, he realized that he was wrong.

Couldn't be more wrong.

Not only him, but everyone in the entire city seemed to have forgotten to breathe, staring in amazement at the magnificent giant that suddenly appeared above their heads.

What the hell is this?

Above the wasteland industrial-style city, a thick cloud was torn apart, and a huge silver sphere fell silently.

……

[Successfully entered the atmosphere of the target planet, hovering altitude lock completed......]

Inside the bridge, Bai Ye looked at the commands flashing in the holographic projection in front of him, and the shipborne AI easily hovered the scientific research exploration ball on the top of the tallest building in the target city, and the huge shadow not only shrouded the city below, but also covered the surrounding large wasteland.

"This is the largest gathering place?"

Shiraba looked at the holographic model outlined by the blue light in front of him and asked.

The city's downfall is a bit more powerful than she imagined, and although she has seen a lot of wasteland punk works and design concepts in her previous life, it still feels a little too ideal compared to the scene in front of her.

[The world's largest biological cluster, with a population of more than 300,000, and two more clusters nearby, but the scale is more than a little smaller. 】

[-Warning-]

[Threat scanner scans show that the per capita possession of lethal weapons of smart creatures in the local city exceeds the normal value, the level of weapon technology content, the original level, and the contact recommendation: alert but no clear threat. 】

The response of the shipboard AI is very rich.

It not only illustrates the size of the other party, but also informs the city below the white leaves how full of martial virtues there are.

"Locate the city's administrators, the Torch hasn't been away from their home planet for many years, I'll see if I can get some clues...... Hopefully, they haven't forgotten the history before the nuclear war."

Your will is locked. 】

Bai Ye didn't forget how he came here, that interstellar coordinate obviously wanted to let himself get in touch with the Torch first, and then go to their home planet to investigate after knowing their situation from the Torch, but how to investigate, what to investigate, these are all things that need to be dug up slowly.

If you extrapolate from common sense.

First of all, this matter will not be a trivial matter, and secondly, it must be related to the super-probability uniqueness of this civilization, in other words, Bai Ye can be sure of one thing, as long as he comes to this planet to find the right person to ask, he will definitely be able to ask for clues.

It sounds far-fetched, but it's actually realistic.
