Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

Across from them.

A huge convoy led by a huge eight-wheeled off-road vehicle, which had no end in sight, was slowly slowing down and approaching them.

The off-road vehicle was really huge.

The wheels alone were almost as tall as a person.

One vehicle almost filled up both lanes of the highway.

The heavy and angular body of the vehicle had a strong sci-fi feel.

It was like a huge steel beast slowly approaching in the wind and snow.

What was even more terrifying was that.

There was a turret on its roof.

The dark muzzle was wide enough to fit two fists at the same time.

It was really hard to imagine what kind of earth-shaking scene it would bring when it roared.

Liang Liyang was terrified.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat.

But at this time.

A new order was refreshed on the screen in front of him.

He was asked to represent Jianghe City and negotiate with the convoy.

"Why me?"

Liang Liyang was a little tearful.

But he didn't have the courage to refuse.

He could only bite the bullet and walk to the front. He recited the lines expressionlessly according to the prompts given by the artificial intelligence.

"This is the territory of Jianghe City."

"Please stop and register your origin first."

As the voice fell.

The SUV on the opposite side did not respond.

Still leading the convoy, slowly approaching Liang Liyang.

Just when Liang Liyang suspected that the other party did not hear him, he began to accumulate strength secretly and planned to dodge before being hit.

The SUV stopped completely one meter away from him.

Then.

A young man in a silver-gray suit, about 27 or 28 years old, opened the door and walked down from the automatically popped-up ladder.

"Are you the leader here?"

The young man glanced around casually.

He didn't care about the dozen drones that deployed weapons in the air and pointed at him.

He just set his sights on Liang Liyang who came out.

"I'm not the leader."

"But I can represent Jianghe City."

Liang Liyang had completely calmed down at this time.

In the short ten seconds when the young man got off the car.

A complete negotiation team has been formed in the underground shelter.

Connected with Liang Liyang in real time.

The young man now seems to be talking to Liang Liyang alone, but in fact he is facing a large group of people.

"It's okay to be a representative."

The young man spoke politely, but always gave people a sense of superiority.

"We are a caravan from Changming City."

"I hope to reach some deals with you."

Ten minutes later.

This huge caravan from Changming City.

Began to slowly drive into a cleared square in the ruins of the city.

Set up camp on the spot.

In the center of the caravan, in a large off-road vehicle like a land battleship.

The young man who just came out to negotiate with Liang Liyang looked puzzled and asked the real manager of the caravan for answers.

"Manager You, there is nothing special here."

"Why did you come here specially?"

"Do you really think this place is ordinary?"

You Zhixuan, who was sitting at the desk in the car, slowly raised his head. Looking at the young man beside him named Gu Zeyu, who came from a powerful family in Changming City.

There was a hint of testing in his eyes.

"This?"

Gu Zeyu frowned and began to carefully sort out the details he saw after entering the city.

As a result, he really found something unusual.

"The city here is completely destroyed."

"But it seems that there are fewer ruins."

"It looks like they have used a lot of effort to clean it up."

"Why are they cleaning up the ruins? Are they planning to rebuild the city on the ground?"

"It's hard to say what they think."

"But I know."

"Their mechanization scale is very large."

You Zhixuan nodded slightly, which was regarded as an expression of praise for Gu Zeyu's observation ability.

He opened a map that had just been drawn and marked with a lot of data.

Motioned Gu Zeyu to come over to check.

"Just now, the drone of the fleet has completed the preliminary scan of this place."

"A total of about 140,000 workers wearing exoskeleton armor, 70,000 spider-shaped robots, and more than 20,000 vehicles of various types were found."

"Continue to clean up the garbage on the surface of this city."

"And their actions are extremely efficient."

"There is a high probability that supercomputers and artificial intelligence are responsible for planning behind the scenes."

Gu Zeyu listened to the detailed explanation of the supervisor one by one.

His face changed slightly.

Exoskeleton armor is not something that is common on the street.

Generally, in a city with a population of more than one million.

The total number of exoskeleton armor equipped by the local security forces will not exceed 3,000 sets.

Hundreds of thousands of sets of exoskeleton armor.

Even enough to arm two regular army groups.

And robots are even more exaggerated.

He has also seen spider-shaped robots working in the ruins on the road.

If ordinary people wear exoskeleton armor, they may not be able to exert its combat effectiveness.

Then there is no such doubt for robots.

As long as it can still move.

That means it must have combat effectiveness commensurate with its size.

In case of a conflict.

Seventy thousand spider robots.

Even if they rely solely on sheer numbers, they can completely retain their caravan.

"This type of robot has never been seen on the market before."

"If the people here develop and manufacture it themselves."

"That's really something extraordinary."

After facing Jianghe City's strength seriously.

Gu Zeyu soon discovered the truly terrifying place in Jianghe City.

Not the staggering amount of mechanized equipment on the surface.

Rather, it’s the formidable industrial power that enables them to be produced.

"That's right."

"It is suspected that Jianghe City may have a complete industrial production system."

"That's why we came over to take a look."

You Zhixuan revealed the secret mission that only he knew before departure.

"That's if it is true."

“Are we going to occupy this place—”

There was a hint of longing in Gu Zeyu's eyes when he heard this.

Anyone who is young has dreamed of killing everyone on the battlefield.

"What are you thinking about?"

"If what they're advertising is true."

"Now the population here has reached tens of millions, how can it be so easy to defeat them."

You Zhixuan poured cold water on him angrily.

He ordered with a serious attitude.

"We are here to make friends this time."

"If they are really powerful, the higher-ups hope they can become our allies."

"Or at the very least, a close trading partner."

at the same time.

Farmhouse, control center on the ground floor.

Su Wu also received news that a foreign caravan was visiting.

And their behavior of secretly spying in the city.

There was no way to hide it from Su Wu.

Su Wu's reconnaissance network spread throughout Jianghe City.

Caught clearly.

"This caravan."

“Technology looks advanced everywhere.”

Played it back again.

Video recorded as the entire caravan entered the city.

Su Wu vaguely felt the strong strength behind the other party.

He pondered for a moment.

He planned to talk to the other party in person.

But not before that.

It also requires a little preparation.

A few days ago, due to a rush for time, I put it aside for the time being, and there was no production of a heavy-duty main battle spider robot.

At this time, it is time to start producing a batch.

Only with these heavy weapons can we suppress the formation.

Only then can Su Wu have the confidence to contact the opponent.

And ensure that after contact fails, the opponent can be eliminated as soon as possible at the minimum cost.

November 15th.

The day after the caravan arrived.

In the reception hall of the Jingyuan Shelter.

Through the holographic projection, Su Wu saw the leader of the caravan from Changming City, the capital city of Changming Province.

"Nice to meet Mr. Su Wu."

"I am You Zhixuan, the director of Changming Caravan."

Really meet Su Wu.

Whether it was You Zhixuan or Gu Zeyu, who was born into a superior family, he always treated everyone with a condescending attitude.

They all behaved quite modestly.

This is out of the most basic respect for a supreme ruler who rules tens of millions of people.

Don't look at most of the shelters in the apocalypse. They are afraid of refugees.

But that's mostly because they can't afford it.

As long as the resources in hand are slightly more, no one will refuse to support a group of people.

Because the basis of rights comes from sufficient population.

"Changming City is more than 800 kilometers away from here."

"How did you even think of coming here?"

Compared to You Zhixuan and the others, they are more formal.

Su Wu seemed much more casual.

He directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Your Jianghe City TV station has covered tens of millions of viewers."

"We have heard about it as far away as Changming City."

"Plus there just happens to be a need for a whole bunch of electronic equipment."

"So I decided to come over and have a look."

You Zhixuan considered his words.

"So that's it."

"Then what are you going to exchange for?"

Su Wu was noncommittal about You Zhixuan's answer.

But as for the transaction itself, he was still quite interested.

"It depends on what you need."

"This is the list of goods we can provide, please take a look."

You Zhixuan passed the product catalog that had been prepared to Su Wu through the tablet computer.

Su Wu opened it and checked.

I found that the two items at the top of the catalog were gold and silver.

Even in the brackets next to it, it is specifically marked that the exchange ratio between gold and silver is 10:1.

It is consistent with the exchange ratio disclosed by Su Wu.

Apparently, they did some research on this beforehand.

Gold and silver underneath.

There are also various other precious metals and rare materials.

Purified water filters, and services to purify water by the ton.

A series of military weapons and equipment including electromagnetic guns, drones, robot dogs, and exoskeleton armor.

Special drugs to treat various chronic diseases and special diseases, common antibiotic drugs, high-quality compressed food, etc.

These things also have prices in gold as monetary units.

And the price is not cheap.

“Very complete product catalog.”

Su Wu admired it a little.

Except for precious metals that are close to currency.

The other commodities are basically the supplies a shelter is most likely to need.

Even if this caravan could arrive a little earlier.

Su Wu was also willing to spend a huge price to buy the series of military equipment from them.

But unfortunately.

They came too late.

Su Wu has developed now.

In addition to gold and silver.

For other commodities, not only is there no demand. Even on the contrary, if necessary, he can also provide the same commodities for sale.

Scanning the sales list.

Behind it is their purchase list.

Mobile phones, solid-state batteries, mid-to-high-end chips, electronic screens, etc.

Su Wu is not very interested in selling precision accessories such as chips.

The production requirements of those things are too high, and they can basically only be made by manufacturing centers. It also consumes a lot of rare resources.

If you sell them directly, it is equivalent to pure hard labor.

And selling finished mobile phones can be considered.

There should be a lot of profit in it.

After browsing the list, Su Wu made a rough decision in his mind.

He raised his head and looked at You Zhixuan.

"The cell phone can be sold."

"But it can only be exchanged for gold, silver, and some special medicines."

"Will you consider other things?"

You Zhixuan listened to Su Wu's words.

His expression suddenly became a little disappointed.

This was quite different from his previous expectations.

Su Wu would not sell anything other than cell phones.

Among the many things for sale.

Su Wu only picked three.

Among them, gold and silver, although not easy to sell in the end times.

But they are still a kind of basic currency and basic material that can serve as equivalents.

Using them is equivalent to spending money.

It can't be said that there is no profit, but it is not much.

As for special medicines.

For some small shelters that are in urgent need, it may be sold at a sky-high price.

But for a super-large force like Su Wu.

Its value is actually not much different from ordinary medicines.

There is no special room for negotiation.

In this way.

The profit margin of this transaction is obviously not very high.

I guess we can only rely on large-scale purchases to make some hard-earned money.

"No need."

"That's all."

Su Wu waved his hand and took the initiative to end the meeting.

The remaining specific transaction matters.

There will be professional business elites under his command to discuss with You Zhixuan.

There is no need for Su Wu to come in person.

Looking at the holographic projection that suddenly turned off.

You Zhixuan sighed helplessly.

Standing up, he said to Gu Zeyu who was brought here to gain experience.

"Let's go too."

"Manager You, did this negotiation fail?"

"We brought so many things, but they didn't like them."

Seeing that there were no outsiders.

Gu Zeyu, who had been acting as a spectator, couldn't help but throw out the questions in his heart.

"It's not really."

"It can only be said that I didn't get the upper hand."

You Zhixuan shook his head and saw that Gu Zeyu was still a little puzzled.

So he patiently explained further.

"The things we brought."

"In fact, they mainly rely on the other party's inability to manufacture by themselves, and earn a share of the monopoly profits."

"For forces that are capable of manufacturing by themselves, its real value is not that high."

"Now it is obvious."

"Whether it is military weapons, medicine, water and food, the other party has no shortage."

"There is no need to spend a lot of money to trade with us."

"We can only honestly use basic resources in exchange for their industrial products."
