This Game Is Too Realistic

Even if there are 20,000 pigs, it will take a while to catch them when they run into the city.

What's more, people?

Honghe Town and the Snake Clan have been fighting in the north for nearly half a year, and they have spent enough money on mercenaries and military purchases to buy a mine.

However, even so, they did not take advantage of the predators.

It was not only Sim who learned the news, but also other chamber of commerce bosses and mine owners in Red River Town.

Soon this incredible news spread throughout Honghe Town.

Chamber of the Mining Association.

More than ten minutes have passed since the president of the association announced the topic of the meeting.

Everyone sitting at the conference table looked at each other, and no one said a word for a long time.

Unable to stand the weird atmosphere in the conference room, a mine owner loosened his collar with his index finger and broke the silence with a hesitant voice.

"Is the news reliable?"

The president of the association nodded with a complicated expression.

"It should be reliable. They won't slap themselves in the face with a lie that may be exposed at any time."

It is too easy to check the authenticity of the news. Send someone over to see if Xizhou City has been captured.

What's more, there is no need to lie at all.

Declaring victory in the war in advance will not bring any substantial benefits to the new alliance.

Whispers resounded in the conference room, and everyone began to discuss in low voices.

"I think it's necessary to reconsider the relationship with the new alliance."

"How about we build an office there?"

"But in whose name will everyone build it individually? Or in the name of the Mining Association?"

"I think it is very necessary. Even if their military strength is not considered, they are still our important trading partners."

The war shook them deeply.

Judging from the available intelligence from the blitz at Qingshi County to the Battle of Songlinyu, every war between the New Alliance and the Bone Chewing Tribe ended in an overwhelming victory, whether on the offensive or defensive side.

We do not rule out the possibility that they exaggerated their results and concealed their own casualties, but in terms of the final result, the strength they displayed was surprising enough.

An emerging survivor force with a total population of less than 10,000.

It only took just two months to defeat the Marauder clan with 30,000 troops and 27 tanks!

With such terrifying strength, it’s hard not to be fearful!

Moreover, it is different from the old survivor forces like Boulder City that have stopped expanding.

This new alliance that suddenly appeared not only had strong war potential, but also expanded its territory.

At first, their territory only had one park, then it was the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and now it has expanded to the shores of Xizhou Lake, more than 100 kilometers north of Qingquan City.

Where is their next step?

Continue north?

Still heading east

Just as everyone was discussing how to deal with the relationship with the new alliance, someone suddenly stood up.

By the way, it is currently the best app for reading and listening to books, so install the latest version.

“Everyone, if I remember correctly, our topic today should be to discuss our future relationship with the new alliance. However, so far, all I have heard is how we should please our neighbors. Do you really think that we and the new alliance Peaceful coexistence of the Alliance?”

Seeing everyone looking at him, Sim paused and continued.

"You must not forget that the first thing they did when they captured Xizhou City was to announce the liberation of the looters' slaves!"

Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment, while those who knew something in advance like Sim remained silent.

Noisy discussions soon erupted on the conference table.

Free the slaves

This is definitely a sensitive topic in Red River Town.

The "mines" in Honghe Town are not mines in the traditional sense, but mountains of garbage that have been compacted and landfilled. Since the landfill data was lost in the war, only God knows where it will come from.

It is impossible for them to hire free people to mine those mines. It is not a matter of more money or less, but that the benefits and costs are completely disproportionate.

Honghe Town cannot live without slaves. This is the consensus of all mine owners and trading house presidents.

If the blue ticket is to coordinate ore production capacity and help mine owners sell ore at a better price, then the issuance of red tickets to purchase slaves is to facilitate major mines to obtain a large and stable source of labor.

A chamber of commerce president raised his hand in dissent.

"Your information is inaccurate. My information is that they gave those slaves the status of wards, which obviously did not completely free them."

His name is Andrew, the president of the Gray Rhino Chamber of Commerce, mainly engaged in import business. Whether it's imported weapons, imported food, or feed for slaves.

He also knew what Sim said. After all, he also set up an office in Dawn City, but he didn't really care.

The only business under the Gray Rhino Chamber of Commerce that has anything to do with slaves is nutritional cream.

It was completely expected that Andrew would raise objections, Sim continued plausibly.

"Does it make sense to pick out words? Neither wards, nor managers, nor other new words they coined can hide what they are doing."

"Now they are liberating the slaves in Xizhou City. What if one day in the future, they come to liberate the slaves in our hands? Mr. Mdis of the Misty Mountain Mine, are you willing to return freedom to the slaves in your mine? They?"

The bald man looked away.

Sim stopped looking at him and continued to look at the other person's strategic ally, Temples of the Blackstone Mine.

"Or you? My dear Mr. Temples."

"I don't think so. Some of the slaves were originally predators, or clones, or synthetics that were about to be scrapped. Moreover, even in their own territory, they only bought slaves from those slave owners and did not force them Hand over the slaves.”

Dempsey's tone was slightly hesitant, but his nervous expression betrayed the uneasiness in his heart.

Seeing through his mind, Sim admittedly continued.

"All these assumptions of yours are based on what you think is not possible. A year ago, the Bone Chewing Tribe was still doing business with us. Isn't it the same as if they fall out with each other?"

A chamber of commerce boss couldn't help but said.

"Then what should we do? Should we go against them?"

Sim said immediately.

"Of course not. With our current strength, there is no benefit in going against them, but we must clearly understand that getting too close to these blue coats is an extremely dangerous thing. We should at least stay vigilant."

"We must first unite and establish a more centralized organization than the Mining Association. It should bear more responsibilities, not just issuing those red and blue tickets, it should also be responsible for preparing a standing force and dealing with other survivors' settlements. relationships, deciding who to do business with and how to do business, and running our own settlement.”

"After that, we should strengthen our ties with surrounding survivor gathering places and reduce our reliance on the new alliance, whether in terms of weapons or military."

After a pause, Sim raised his voice and banged his fist on the table twice.

"Everyone, the alarm bell has sounded. The River Valley Province is facing changes unseen in a century. The methods of the past are no longer applicable."

"Whether you like it or not, if we don't want to be eliminated by this world, we must look forward."

"I'm done."

After Sim finished speaking, the conference table became noisy.

Some people supported it, and some people expressed opposition.

However, the strange thing is that most of the people who support "the establishment of a more centralized management organization" are actually mine owners.

On the contrary, the bosses of the chamber of commerce stood opposite Sim, who was a colleague.

Everyone held their own opinions. From the initial argument, there was almost no quarrel later.

"Establish a more centralized organization? How to centralize it? Find someone and hand over all our business to him?"

"I think Sim is right!"

"His grandma has a reason! Isn't it good for everyone to mind their own business like now?"

"Of course it's not good! You don't care who the garbage is sold to, but I have to ensure that the garbage I sell won't turn into bullets and fly back!"

"So who will be the leader of this new organization? That's all I care about!"

The president of the Mining Association banged his hand on the table, but everyone was arguing so fiercely that no one noticed what he was saying.

The meeting was interrupted.

After the meeting, several chamber of commerce bosses gathered together and talked quietly.

"What's wrong with this Sim? Why is he suddenly representing the interests of the mine owner?"

"I guess he suffered a heavy loss. I heard that he had previously stockpiled thousands of tons of copper ore and lost it all."

At this time, Andrew, the owner of the Gray Rhino Chamber of Commerce, suddenly spoke.

"I have a rumor here, but it may not be reliable."

The bosses of the Chamber of Commerce immediately looked over with interest.

They may not care about other people's news, but Mr. Andrew's news can always bring them business opportunities.

"what news?"

Andrew lowered his voice and said.

"The New Alliance discovered copper deposits in Qingshi County, and it seems they have been mining for a while."

This news is terrible.

Surprise and even surprise expressions immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

"Copper mine?!"

"How did you know?"

Facing everyone's questions, Andrew said softly.

"It is not difficult to speculate that the trains bound for Qingshi County do not return empty. Some copper-containing slag can always be picked up near the railway tracks. And according to my salesman's judgment, the grade of the copper mine is not low. "

Hearing this sentence, the expressions on everyone's faces were moved.

The New Alliance has discovered copper!

No wonder they suddenly announced the Northern Expedition!

No wonder the war has been going on for two months and there has been almost no fluctuation in the prices of copper ore and sulfur!

It’s no wonder that Sim’s reaction was so intense. He wanted to establish a more centralized organization and win over his neighbors to be wary of the threat of the new alliance.

Thinking of the thousands of tons of copper ore stored in the Horseshoe Trading Company's warehouse, the chamber of commerce bosses couldn't help but mourn for a second of silence for their colleagues.

This is really tragic.

The chamber of commerce bosses and mine owners in Red River Town are in disagreement about how to handle the relationship with the new alliance.

A similar scene also took place in the parliament hall of Garbage City.

House members were quarreling over whether and what kind of diplomatic ties to establish with the new coalition.

Everything happened so suddenly.

A month ago, they were still discussing the issue of increasing armaments, how to deal with the crisis of the Bone Chewing Tribe moving south, and most importantly, how to persuade Boulder City to join this war.

But now, someone suddenly told them that Jinya was dead and the war was over.

This is of course a happy event

However, the powerful war potential displayed by the new alliance made them happy, but at the same time, they could not help but feel a little more fearful.

The outer city of Boulder City.

town Hall.

Looking at the report jointly submitted by several large business owners, the director of the city hall pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

"It seems that the situation in the northern suburbs may exceed our expectations. Although they are responding to the bone-chewing tribe, the speed at which they are expanding their armaments is hard not to worry."

The secretary standing aside said softly.

"Indeed, although aircraft, artillery and rockets do not have tactical nuclear bombs, their power is not much different."

It doesn't have to be high-tech to have a damaging effect.

A pound of iron weighs the same as a pound of cotton, and a sufficient amount of black powder or even flour can produce terrifying power.

Of course, he could see that what really worried the factory owners in the city was not the guns of the New Alliance, but that the expanding productivity in the northern suburbs was taking away the profits in their hands.

In Jushi City, the retail price of nutritional paste is 12 chips per kilogram, the wholesale price is 300,400 chips per ton, and the production cost is about 450.

But in Dawn City, this number is only 200 silver coins, and even the exchange ratio of silver coins to chips is firmly locked at 2:1 by New Alliance Bank.

Forget about other products. Nutritional creams have no technical content at all, no brand effect, and no quality difference. They are just feed.

Now, almost all the nutritional cream market in Boulder City has been taken away by the Didiwe brand nutritional cream.

The new alliance not only manipulates the exchange rate, but also uses finance to subsidize industry and trade.

This is what the factory owners in Boulder City hate the most!

The director of the city hall thought for a long time.

"We really should discuss security issues with them, and it just so happens that their war is over."

The secretary said softly.

"What we can do is very limited. I suggest reporting this matter to the Lord of the City."

"Lord City Lord"

The director of the city hall smiled bitterly.

That person doesn't care about these things at all.

Unless the group of blue coats who don't follow common sense interfere in the affairs of Qingquan city center, or are involved in the affairs of enterprises and legions.

But this possibility is too small

The news that the new alliance had liberated Xizhou City stirred up the turmoil in the entire southern part of the River Valley Province.

At this moment, the man in the center of the storm was following Yanya's footsteps and came to Jinya's "palace".

In fact, rather than saying it is a palace, according to Chu Guang's taste, this place is simply a pigsty.

The ruins of the five-story villa were re-reinforced with wood and concrete. The walls and doors were decorated with human or alien parts. There was even the head of a dead person on the wall in front of the hall.

And inside that head, there was a human head.

Even standing here, even wearing power armor, Chu Guang could still feel his SAN value dropping wildly.

On the other hand, Yan Ya, who was standing aside, didn't feel any discomfort on his face.

And this also confirmed Chu Guang's idea that these predators were not human at all.

It’s better not to manage them the way you manage people.

"Is this the kind of place where Jinya lives?"

Yan Ya had a flattering smile on his face.

"This is his living room. His treasures are upstairs. Sir, please come with me!"

With that said, he led Chu Guang and a group of guards towards the upstairs of the villa and came to a door.

It seems that the entire door has been widened to accommodate Jinya's size.

The moment he stepped through the door, Chu Guang smelled a pungent odor and couldn't help but frown.

In front of him is a large bed that is 5 meters wide, with more than a dozen white bodies tied here.

They were good-looking, with curvy figures, fair skin, and hair that was not dry. They looked nothing like survivors in the wasteland, but they didn't look like people in the shelter either.

From the bruises and scars as well as the stains on the floor, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of torture they had suffered before.

And one can even imagine what happened to the slaves locked in the dungeon.

Looking at the people appearing at the door, a trace of fear flashed in the girls' eyes, and the iron chains tied to their ankles made a clanging sound.

"These are high-end goods that Mr. Jinya bought from the Bugra Free State. They are different from those stinking slaves. Hehe, they are all yours now." Sensing the murderous intent on the side, Yanya was frightened. He shut his mouth immediately.

Chu Guang gave him a meaningful look, but he didn't blame Jin Ya for what he did.

Looking at the guard next to him, Chu Guang said.

"Find them something to wear."

The guard standing aside stood at attention.

"yes!"

After posting the mission, he found several female players from nearby to help. Chu Guang asked Yan Ya to lead him to continue searching the villa.

According to the information given by other prisoners, Jinya had previously obtained 2 million dinars from the legion, but not all of the money was spent on weapons.

Buying a dozen clone slaves didn't cost so much, and Chu Guang wanted to find out what else this guy bought.

We arrived at the basement of the villa, which was transformed into a warehouse.

Chu Guang pulled the door lock off with a strong grip, pushed open the half-draped iron door and walked in.

The warehouse is not large, only fifty or sixty square meters, and it is full of sundries.

What surprised Chu Guang was that among the debris, there was a high-tech gadget.

After studying for a long time, he still didn't understand what the device was used for. Chu Guang could only take a few photos, then returned to the ground and called Yin Fang.

"I found some interesting things here in Xizhou City, and the photos have been sent to you."

"Now help me see what that thing is."

In the eastern urban area of ​​Xizhou City, the streets are littered with concrete debris and car wrecks.

Under the protection of the soldiers of the Third Corps, Ma Ban, Wu Chengyi and other senior leaders of the resistance organization slowly walked out from the entrance of the abandoned subway station.

As the sun shone on his face, Wu Chengyi subconsciously raised his hand and narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the familiar street in front of him, this man with a resolute face suddenly felt his tear ducts loosen.

Speaking of which, when was the last time you basked in the sun?

He actually couldn't remember.

Yang Duo, who was standing next to him, was the same, even his voice was choked with sobs.

"Have those predators of the Ya clan really been driven away?"

Maban replied.

"To be precise, he was captured."

After being silent for a long time, Yang Duo lowered his head and said softly.

"Thanks"

"Even if you want to say thank you, you shouldn't be telling me to go find those who deserve to be thanked. I was also one of the people who was saved by them."

As he said that, Ma Ban had a comforting smile on his face and reached out to pat his arm, "Stop lowering your head and call everyone to come up."

"The war is over."

Yang Duo went back to the subway

Before long, the residents of Hope Town walked out of the subway station one after another with large and small bags.

There are also people with empty hands, seemingly intending to leave those dark days underground.

Of course, it could also be because I have nothing and really have nothing to take with me.

Looking at the long-lost sunshine, people breathed in the air outside. Many people even shed tears, hugging each other and crying loudly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ma Ban's heart was a little palpitating, but he did not forget the work assigned to him by the manager.

There are still a lot of things waiting for him to do, and now is not the time to be sentimental.

After finally counting the number of people and confirming that no one was left behind, Maban took these survivors to the southern suburbs of Xizhou City under the protection of the Third Corps.

There is a relatively open and flat space next to the remains of the viaduct. Compared to the rat-infested city, it is relatively more suitable for a new residential area.

The trenches and positions of the New Alliance were not far away, and soldiers of the 1st Corps stood there on duty.

Although the Ya clan has been defeated, the threats in the wasteland are far more than just predators. The aliens wandering around here also need to be careful.

Upon seeing the flag of the New Alliance, the residents of Hope Town immediately swarmed forward, surrounded the sentries patrolling in front of the position, and began to ask anxious questions.

"What about those people captured by the Bone-Chewing Tribe? Are they here?"

"My father, he was captured by the Ya clan, and may be imprisoned in the raider's dungeon. Can I go over and have a look? He must still be alive!"

"My wife and I got separated. Let me go to the dungeon and have a look. Please!"

The surrounded sentries didn't know what to do for a while.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Ma Ban, Wu Chengyi and others felt numb and wanted to go up to maintain order. However, the scene was in chaos and no one could hear his shouts.

Seeing that the situation at the scene was showing signs of getting out of control, Wrench immediately stepped forward, turned on the speaker on his helmet, and shouted loudly to the crowd.

"Quiet!"

The noisy sound at the scene was a little weaker.

People subconsciously stopped making noise and looked at the man wearing the exoskeleton.

Seeing the regimental commander coming out to take charge of the overall situation, the sentry surrounded by residents finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his tense nerves.

After looking around at the survivors, Wrench continued in a loud voice.

"I know that many of you were separated from your loved ones in the chaos a year ago, and I understand your eagerness to reunite with your loved ones, but things have to happen step by step."

"The Ya clan's resistance has basically ended, but there are still a few die-hards in the city who are resisting. I believe you don't want to fall at the last moment before dawn and become the target of the thugs' attacks, or even their food rations."

The emotions of the survivors finally stabilized.

Wrench paused and continued in a gentle tone.

"As long as your relatives are still alive, they will return to you soon. What you have to do now is to obey the arrangements, wait patiently, and build your homes."

"How you celebrate the reunion is your own business. But before that, you must prepare a shelter for yourself and your family."
