As a warrior and army commander in the wasteland, Yehu feels that he is very successful, at least he can be regarded as a famous and top figure in this Qinggang City.

Once upon a time, when he was the strongest and youngest.

Once he leads the Pingtan Army on an expedition.

Not to mention the monsters and monsters around the city, even the troops in Qinggang Sanctuary have to be treated a little thinly.

But on the other hand, as a refuge manager, Xiehu felt that he had failed very much.

Ten years have passed.

The once powerful Pingtan Army has gradually aged with the passage of time.

The new generation of trained Pingtan Army is unable to take on major responsibilities, and can no longer use the previous plundering methods to make up for the gap in shelter consumption.

Although residents here don't complain about their declining quality of life, the numbers don't lie.

Pingtan Shelter is still in this half-dead state, and its material reserves have never grown positively.

If it weren't for the foresight of the previous shelter manager, who spent a lot of money to purchase six various food ingredient manufacturing machines.

Hunter Tiger may even suspect that Pingtan Refuge will now be in a food crisis.

After all, those damn mutants are so delicious!

"Are they always like this these days?"

Looking at the bustling scene in front of the warehouse on the B-7 floor, Liehu tilted his head and looked at the deputy manager of the shelter, the ‘Chief Minister’.

Just like Yehu changed his name to "Pingtan" in order to facilitate management after becoming a manager.

The sergeant 'Jin Guqiao' was originally his deputy in the Pingtan Army, and later followed him to become the deputy manager of the shelter.

When he heard Liehu's question at this time, Jin Guqiao did not answer immediately, but glanced sideways at Liehu's face.

What's slightly strange is that there is no trace of blame on Yehu's face, but rather some relief.

This kind of performance immediately made Jin Guqiao feel confident and knew what he should and shouldn't say.

"Yes, this scene has probably happened frequently since we started the third transaction with Tianyuan Shelter. Because of the friendly agreement reached between Liu Lu and Tianyuan Shelter, they are now only willing to trade with him for supplies.

The managers on other floors need to make secondary purchases with Liu Lu here."

"He makes the difference?" Liehu said bluntly with a frown.

He is good at creating monopolies.

When this area in the western suburbs was still lively, he led his people to secretly monopolize several illegal businesses.

What about robbing a passing caravan?

What kind of disguise is it to rob the goods ordered by other shelters?

He has even done this many times, pretending to be a member of a shelter and going out to defraud people of supplies.

At that time, relying on these small businesses, tiger hunting made a lot of money, and the equipment provided to the Pingtan Army was always the best.

Now when I hear what Jin Guqiao said, I immediately think of "monopoly".

It's not a good sign for one's own people to make money for one's own people in a shelter, and it can easily lead to civil strife.

If Liu Lu really dared to do this, he would have to be beaten hard.

However.

"Mr. Pingtan, you misunderstood. How dare Liu Lu have a monopoly in our shelter? He can already be regarded as the most obedient floor leader in our entire shelter." Jin Guqiao smiled, thinking about the past few days.

Liu Lu personally sent several large boxes of goods and couldn't help but praise: "On the contrary, the floor owners of other floors only need to pay some insignificant supplies in exchange for the materials he obtained from Tianyuan Shelter, and even have to pay for them."

It’s cheaper than buying it from Tianyuan!”

"Huh? Then he lost money?"

Liehu said in a deep voice.

"You say he is obedient, but I won't refute you." Think of how Liu Lu was able to revitalize the B-7 floor so quickly after taking over Jin Dafa's mess, and he had no complaints about the management and deployment of the shelter.

"But he is not a fool, and his abilities are very outstanding. I have seen the details of the material reserves reported by the B-7 layer last month. The current deficit has been made up by nearly 70%. This is not something ordinary people can do."

"Yes, Liu Lu is indeed a smart man, a very sensible and smart man."

Jin Guqiao smiled and nodded slightly: "You are right, he made a loss in the transactions between the floors of our shelter, and the loss was huge. Those fresh vegetables and various novel gadgets, Liu Lu

The prices given are sometimes even lower than those of the machines we used, which directly dissuades the other managers and Tianyuan Shelter from exploring business routes."

"But have you forgotten that he lost money here but not in Tianyuan Shelter?"

"Um?"

Yehu has no business acumen.

After all, if he could calculate these accounts clearly, he wouldn't have to stay in the shelter and worry.

During the transactions in major shelters, what he is best at is talking with his fists, using weapons to blast open the opponent's door, and plundering all valuable goods without paying any cost.

Let him negotiate prices, deals, and cooperation

That was really embarrassing.

"I don't know how he negotiated with the manager of Tianyuan Shelter, and actually got the other party to agree to exchange those discarded industrial waste for supplies. Did you know that we used an antique that was more than a hundred years ago, and it actually worked?

It’s incredible to be able to get thousands of kilograms of fresh vegetables in exchange!”

"There are also those toilet reading materials, the garbage that you ordered to be burned before. They actually need these things, and the price they gave is not low!"

"Exchange those things. Just industrial waste?"

Yehu frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

The waste left over from the pre-war era does take up space in the shelter and cannot be put to good use.

He immediately thought that the other party would take back these industrial wastes for repair and reuse.

But when it comes to repairs, the foundation can definitely do the repairs.

But 99% of the time, the price of repairing something is much higher than the price of buying a new machine.

He didn't quite believe it.

wrong.

There was absolutely no way to maintain the Yuan Shelter that day, otherwise it wouldn't be so low-key.

"What do they want that for?"

"I heard it is." Jin Guqiao pondered for a moment, and then repeated the reason Liu Lu had revealed before: "The people there are very strange. They have an inexplicable admiration for machinery. But how can I put it, it's like us

Just like those high-end industrial machine tools in the Qinggang Shelter, if you can't get them, you can only use the waste for research."

Talking about collection is simply too ridiculous.

Even hunting tigers wouldn't believe it if they exchanged useless supplies for some useless iron lumps.

But the reason for saying that you want to dismantle it, study it and then imitate it is at least somewhat credible.

After all, this was the only reason Jin Guqiao could think of in the past three days.

Talking about other things, he couldn't think of any other more valuable ways to use these waste products with burnt internal circuits and even collapsed mechanical structures.

"If it's research, then it doesn't matter. We can sell them any number of these things."

Liehu nodded, stood in the distance and watched the transaction scene for a while, and finally chose to shake his head and leave.

Ten years of constant lifelessness had wiped out too many of his ambitions.

It is not easy for him alone to overthrow the decadent shelter system.

This is a big ship sailing towards the future.

He is the captain.

The residents of the shelter are the crew.

If the captain wants the ship to run faster, he can also use stimulation or punishment to urge it.

But if you want to turn and sail from a safe sea area to a dangerous sea area, the resistance is unimaginably great.

At least I have tried hunting the tiger several times, and each time ended in failure.

In desperation, he could only choose another way and build a new ship.

It's just that this "mutant" ship doesn't seem to be very useful now.

Especially since the supply of supplies has slowed down recently, the damn mutant leader has expressed his dissatisfaction several times.

"For the transaction with Tianyuan Sanctuary, you must send people to protect this trade route and don't let other interested parties destroy it."

"Our enemies will not wait until the end of their recuperation and then come to try to attack."

"They are a group of hungry wolves that will pounce on them at any time. As long as they find an opportunity, maybe after this heavy fog ends, the war between the major shelters in Qinggang City will completely break out."

"There has been peace here for too long. The shortage of supplies must be solved by war."

"And our neighbors to the south of the city. If a war breaks out, they will never stand idly by."
