Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 267

Just staying in the City of Steel... doesn't seem like a bad thing.

No need to continue taking risks, no need to fight mutant creatures and zombies, no need to face the danger of death or even being eliminated...

only……

It's just... all of this seems to be far from enough for Qi Lin!
A city of steel... No matter how much it develops, it is just a small place in a corner of the wasteland. Due to its special geographical location and the materials left over from the old era, the development speed of the city of steel in the early stage of the game can be said to be Huaxia District is the fastest. However, in terms of later development potential, the City of Steel has exposed its shortcomings.

First of all, there are many radiation areas around the city of steel. Apart from the radiation areas, most of them are deserts with nothing. The coastal areas of Zhejiang Province are densely populated and economically developed. , provincial capitals, and municipalities directly under the Central Government are very high-ranking key strike areas.

The nuclear bombs almost wiped out the land in Zhejiang Province. Not only are there few remnants of the old era, but also there is very little arable land suitable for growing crops and suitable land for expanding satellite cities.

Not only that, the energy minerals and metal minerals around the city of steel are very poor - when the factories in the city are in operation, they still need to rely on the raw materials brought in from the outside by the Cheng's consortium, don't look at the city of steel and the Cheng's The consortium is still in the honeymoon period. If the positions of the two sides change one day, the other side will be able to suffocate the important lifeline of the Iron City in terms of minerals and energy alone.

Moreover, in the inventory of the City of Steel, Qi Lin did not find C-level or higher-level serums, and there were no rare high-level mutant creatures around, which meant that if Qi Lin stayed in the City of Steel, he would Your strength will also stand still and stagnate.

As a supply station and a safe haven, the city of steel is a good choice, but if it is to be used as a foundation based on the wasteland, the foundation of a city of steel is still too weak.

Seeing the look on Qi Lin's face, Cheng Yanqiu almost guessed what Qi Lin was thinking.

"Then I wonder if you are interested in going to the north?"

"north?"

Recently, this word has not been mentioned once. Even if Qi Lin doesn't pay attention to the affairs in the north, he also knows that the entire Northeast China, the Russian Far East and the small half of the Siberian Plain are not very peaceful. Well, more than a dozen forces in the four old-age countries of China, Russia, Korea, and Japan have been fighting for more than a month.

"Yes, the extreme north, the permafrost tundra. After the nuclear winter passed, it was almost as cold as the previous two poles, but the flames of war have intensified—in fact, if it weren't for you, I might It is already there now, according to the development plan of the consortium, it is completely impossible not to intervene in the affairs of the north, and the advance troops of the consortium had already set off half a month ago."

"The fighting in the north is so chaotic, do you still want to intervene?" Qi Lin asked with some doubts.

"Then do you know why there was a fight over there?" Cheng Yanqiu asked back.

Qi Lin shook his head. All he knew was that the Koreans and the Russians started the fight. Later, Huaxia and Dongying also got involved. Until now, it has developed into a complete chaos.

"Petroleum, coal, and a uranium mine with huge reserves." Cheng Yanqiu said word by word.

Hearing these words, Qi Lin suddenly realized that Siberia is a vast and sparsely populated area, but it is extremely rich in mineral resources and energy resources. There were many oil fields and coal mines in the old days, but what Qi Lin didn't know was that there were still A rich uranium deposit.

After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union sent more than 60 Japanese prisoners of war to Siberia for "labor reform"-this is the source of the famous phrase "send to Siberia to dig coal".

"Siberia's oil fields and coal mines are one of the few that have not been completely exhausted before the war, and after the people in the refuge return to the ground, a new war will definitely break out for these mines. Taking advantage of this opportunity, if If you can be familiar with the details of the local terrain and the specific distribution of mineral veins, you will definitely have an incomparable advantage after the war."

war……

It's war again... Qi Lin sighed suddenly, human beings are always either in war or in the process of preparing for war.

"War, war-never-changes."

However, if it is really as Cheng Yanqiu said, then this war will inevitably break out-three years ago, people almost flattened the surface of the earth because of these things, and five years later, they will still go to war for these things. Start a new war.

Although the world has been destroyed once, but the human race has not been extinct, then the war will not stop.

"It's impossible for the Cheng's consortium to give up this opportunity." Cheng Yanqiu sighed.

No one likes war, but everyone has a reason to fight for it.

"Then how are you going to go? As far as I know, there are many obstacles on the way to the permafrost tundra." Qi Lin asked.

The area where they are now is the southeast coast of China in the old era, and if they want to enter the Siberian Plain, they must cross half of the border of China in a vertical direction. That's a whole different story.

No matter how well-equipped the team is, if they want to cross such a long distance, they must pay a huge price-especially after the difficulty of the entire game world has risen to level two.

Cheng's consortium may have transport planes, but as far as we know so far, flying by plane is far more dangerous than traveling through the ground—the air supremacy of the wasteland is now completely controlled by powerful flying creatures like the King Blood Dragon Lizard. In the hands of mutant creatures.

"I'm going to borrow it from you."

"From me? Are you planning to—" Qi Lin suddenly remembered that although the Jiangsu-Zhejiang super-carrier is unable to sail now, the decommissioned "Ningbo" guided-missile destroyer is intact. Cheng Yanqiu and Cheng's consortium People can take the Ningbo ship, go all the way north along the Huaxia coastline, and then dock near the estuary of HLJ.

Although the waterway may not be completely safe, it is much better than land and air.

"Are you unwilling to sell or lease the destroyer Ningbo to us? Trust me, we will give you a satisfactory price."

"No, if you want this destroyer, you can buy it directly. Anyway, you won't need it if you stay in the City of Steel." Qi Lin paused, then continued:
"I was just thinking, if I want to take a ride, can you waive the ferry ticket for me?"
