I learned about the general situation of the Foundation from Xiao En, the captain of the Red Spider Caravan.

From Katerina's description, I can see the complete history of the college's changes and development.

Among the top three forces of Blue Star, only the last 'enterprise' remains.

Seeing Su Mo lost in thought, Bernie thought it was because he didn't understand the situation of the company, and continued to explain in a low voice:

"Enterprises, foundations, and colleges have completely different styles of doing things. They are capital, and they are capital that don't care about humanity and only care about profits!"

"The blue star's long nuclear war, those rebels were funded by the company to fight back and forth with the peacekeepers."

As a force formed by capital, although enterprises do not directly intervene in wars, they are often seen by the sponsors behind the wars.

Every time a chaotic war breaks out, it is a great opportunity for companies to profit from it.

They sell arms, plunder resources, and people.

Countless people left their homes, and the hard-earned supplies became the trophies of others overnight.

After earning a lot of money, they will stand up as great benefactors to stop the war.

Relief refugees, distribute relief materials, and provide jobs.

Countless ordinary people who lost their families in the war became part of the enterprise and began to export cheap labor.

At the same time, after going through various brainwashing within the enterprise.

In the eyes of these poor people, the image of corporations will be higher and higher than foundations and academies.

They will be grateful to the enterprise, believe in the enterprise, and eventually become one of the butchers of the enterprise.

"How do you know this information?"

Su Mo was suddenly curious.

As Bernie, it is not surprising that he knows the information of the company, but he actually knows the movement of the company in the wasteland.

Could it be.

"Yes, there is a company station next to the Great Rift Valley base, from Hukaro State."

"Their size is very large, probably"

After thinking about it, Bernie decided to make an analogy in a way Sumo could understand.

"It's fifty times the size of the surrounding Qinggang City!"

Geographically, Hukaro State resembles Africa on Earth.

When the nuclear war broke out, there was not much firepower because of the sparsely populated area.

After the war, it slowly developed.

As for the scale comparison, of course, it does not refer to the magnification of the urban buildings by fifty times, but the degree of prosperity.

Seeing that Su Mo was a little dazed, Bernie continued on his own:

"Hulai City has a population of close to five million, complete and mature industrial assembly lines, and living facilities."

"There are nearly 800,000 troops deployed in the company's army alone, which is enough to rebuild order in a short time."

"And they also recruited natives with magical abilities like you to train them, trying to make these people the vanguard of attacking cities and looting villages, but who knows in private, maybe they are also frantically researching the source of that power. "

All right.

It seems that the strength of the Blue Star aborigines is far beyond imagination.

It's no wonder that the game will continuously release weakened environmental disasters to reduce the damage to the game environment by this group of people.

What exactly is the concept of fifty times the Qinggang City, Su Mo still can't perceive it.

But if you compare it with the Tianyuan Territory, which also has 800,000 troops in the future ruins, the sense of gap will be obvious immediately.

"How far is Hulai City from here?"

"It's 1,500 kilometers away from the Great Rift Valley base, and 2,400 kilometers away from here!"

Bernie gave a precise number.

Of course, even if he chooses not to say it, the map recorder on the airship also has detailed data records.

"The base will send people there once a month to purchase supplies, and see if we can contact Ernest by the way."

"Cough, cough, I mean forget it, the professor is not in the base now, but in the holy city."

Accidentally slipped his mouth, Bernie quickly tried to cover it up.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still chose to tell the truth.

"It's a bad fact that even the managers in Hulai City don't know where the holy city is, and there is no further news about other large gathering places of enterprises."

"We even suspect that the holy city of the academy has not traveled here, and is still on the blue star!"

"Yeah?"

Su Mo nodded slightly, with a majestic expression on his face, looked down at Bernie and said.

"You provided a piece of valuable information."

"But in the days to come, until we have peaceful exchanges with the Great Rift Valley base, you still stay here with your people."

No existential threat, and Bernie nodded respectfully.

"Understood, don't worry, my lord, we won't go anywhere!"

After ordering two teams of soldiers to escort the prisoners away, Su Mo came to the room where he was talking to Katerina again.

It was almost evening, and the researcher who had been busy all day was not very tired, but was more energetic than during the day.

It could be seen that her actions in the afternoon had given her some joy in her long and boring life.

At this moment, seeing Su Mo approaching, Katerina sat up excitedly and asked.

"How is it? It's going well, isn't it?"

"Well, we've caught everyone who knew you sent the distress signal."

"However. I have some bad news to tell you in advance."

"Say it."

"The holy city of the academy doesn't seem to follow you through."

"What?"

Katerina was so shocked that she stood up from the sofa directly.

"Who said that?"

"The captain, there is Hulai City, which is an enterprise next to the Great Rift Valley Base, and they have gone there to inquire about the Holy City several times."

If anyone is the most nervous about this news, it must be Katerina, the researcher who locked herself up the most.

For absolute safety and convenience, the living and operating facilities in this simple safe house can last up to three years.

If it is placed around the holy city, it will definitely be enough. No matter how long the war is, it is impossible to last three years.

However, Katerina couldn't help but regret now, why didn't she add some money to upgrade to ten years, or even twenty years.

These three years. How can it be enough!

"You don't need to be too nervous, since we know the news about Hu Lai City, we will also send people there to inquire."

He gave a sigh of relief, seeing that Katerina was so worried that she didn't want to speak.

Somo shrugged and left the contact room.

This was the expected result, and it was also the reason why he made a special trip here.

After seeing the contact methods between the colleges, he didn't want his ally, a researcher, to use the identity of the college to do things underground.

It's best to stay here honestly, and send her there when she hears about the holy city.

Before that, it can also help the creatures in the territory to research their strengths.

Going out from the main entrance of the bunker, it was time for dinner in the allies camp.

Seeing Su Mo approaching, Wang Qian and Chapman stood up cautiously.

"Honorable manager of Tianyuan, when we first met, you are as tall and handsome as the rumors say."

This is Chapman's rainbow fart, but it is also what he said.

Compared with Hades, who is already an old man in the Clear Harbor Refuge, Sumo is now in the prime of his life, and it is obvious that he can still reign for at least 20 years.

"Hello, Manager Tianyuan, I'm Wang Qian, a good friend of Chief Liu Lu."

"You, I know."

Patting Wang Qian on the shoulder, the latter seemed a little flattered, and quickly smiled to get out of the way.

The eating place is not too big, it is divided into three halls, corresponding to the three shelters.

Because the chef apprentices are not yet in place, the cook in the bunker is now responsible for the meals.

The taste is not good.

Many soldiers who ate were frowning, and it was difficult to say words of praise against their will.

Hastily filling his stomach, Su Mo found Su Deben.

The two came to the fruit forest next to the camp and walked towards the last ray of sunset.

"It's a little troublesome. Now there is not only a Great Rift Valley base, but also a corporate Hulai City next to it."

"I heard from Bernie that the scale of Hulai City is very large, and the number of soldiers alone is 800,000."

The straight-line distance exceeds 2,400 kilometers.

Geographically, this is already the distance from the capital of China to Shenzhen.

In the wasteland with complex and rugged terrain, it is completely unrealistic to reach it on foot, even if there is a vehicle, it will take more than ten days.

Of course, if it flies directly from the sky, it may only take a few hours for the transport plane.

Every time the Great Rift Valley base purchases materials, it uses two light transport aircraft.

"Eight hundred thousand? That's not a small number." Su Deben didn't have any fear on his face, after all, he had so many people under him when he was at his peak.

"However, more than 2,000 kilometers is a good distance. We can't spend much time there."

In terms of benefits, it is not a bad thing to discover the super-gathering places of enterprises.

The current Tianyuan Territory only has more than 10,000 people, and it is far from being developed to the point where the other party covets it.

Maybe even if the other party knows the information of the territory, they will just add a mark on the map.

That's all.

And the benefit value that the entire Qinggang City can bring is also negligible, after all, the most precious resource has been lost here.

The endless ocean.

A port city stranded on dry land is as ridiculous as a bird without its wings or a tortoise perched on a tree.

Add to that the aging catastrophe looming, and a city of several million people may well be overwhelmed.

There is still plenty of time left for the development of the territory, at least there is a gap of half a year to a year.

"We have to build an outpost first, and we can't just cross 2,000 kilometers to Hulai City."

"The Great Rift Valley research base is a good choice. We have to find a way to pay more attention to it in the near future."

According to the information given by Bernie.

There are hundreds of soldiers sent by the base to arrest the fugitives, and the loss of two teams will not have much impact.

The value of this research base will be even higher if it doesn't startle the snake.

If it weren't for the aging disaster, Su Mo even wanted to take people there to find a way to conquer it.

At that time, not only some precious experimental instruments will be obtained, but also a valuable strategic enclave and several round-trip transport planes will be obtained.

"No problem, I will personally interrogate those people and find out the situation at the base as quickly as possible."

The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark.

The week after the aging disaster is over, it is a valuable offensive node.

Before the opponent recovered, the two of them had even begun to develop an attack plan in their minds.

but

Still have to calm down now.

At least first solve the impact of metal aging on the interior of the territory.

The eighteenth day of the second month of the waste earth calendar.

Unknowingly, six days passed quietly, and it was time for the disaster code-named 'Metal Sigh' to strike.

It has to be said that the homeless are always the ones who know the gopher guy best.

Within a week, the southern suburbs of Qinggang City became increasingly chaotic, and more and more gophers were forcibly drawn into the endless war.

Or set fire, or poison, or explode.

The Rogue Legion's style of play is very rogue, and they never engage in direct contact with the gophers.

Often, when the underground guards discovered the opponent's attack, the homeless had already started fleeing.

And when they chased them out, all that was left was a mess.

There is no way, facing such a rogue style of play, the Southern Suburban Alliance can only try to actively gather and attack.

It's a pity that they are often the ones who destroy a supply point of the Ranger Legion, and the other party will build two, or even three the next day.

One ebbs and another, in the days when the failure rate of firepower weapons is getting higher and higher, the Rangers Legion has an absolute advantage.

Even the thousands of soldiers in the allied camp who watched the battle at close range were a little surprised by this.

The situation of the war seems to be getting more and more out of control.

No one knows where Qinggang City will go in the future and where it will belong.

The Clear Harbor Refuge standing behind the Legion of Vagabonds was not in a hurry to make a move, and was still tortured by boiling the frogs in warm water.

The only good news is that the flames of war did not reach the western suburbs.

Starting from the high ring, as the alliance consolidated the defense line, the radiation beasts that occasionally came to fight the autumn wind disappeared.

Now rather than saying that there is a war in Qinggang City, it is better to say that only the southern suburbs are at war.

The western suburbs, the northern suburbs, and the eastern suburbs are quieter than the other.

The night was dark.

The red moon is in the sky.

The familiar blood red once again covered the entire wasteland, bringing a strange and oppressive sense of mystery.

Tianyuan Territory, Hope Village.

On the large square at the entrance of the village, countless metal agricultural tools, weapons, and devices were neatly arranged, and there were eagerly waiting villagers standing beside them.

No one knows whether there will be idiosyncratic reactions in the aging process.

The guard in charge of maintaining order pulled the yellow line around and around, and did not stop until a distance of 200 meters was reached.

The guards who were still searching the village did not miss any corners, trying to find some undiscovered metals as much as possible.

Some ammunition and bombs that have not yet been consumed have been buried in the ground where no one has passed.

Batches of ninety-nine new vehicles drove to the border of the territory, and they were placed together alone.

And all the energy stones used for research were also collected, and no one was allowed to approach them for the time being.

Including the energy stone mining field, the research institute was also under martial law, and all researchers temporarily withdrew to the village to rest.

"Brother, our dungeon is also made of metal, so it won't be affected?"

Patting the metal wall of the dungeon, Su Chan's eyes flashed a trace of fear.

Since the establishment of Tianyuan Territory, it seems that it has been a long time since a disaster has been so big.

Without the help of metal, the entire village has almost come to a standstill, and all development has been put on hold.

"No, the refuge is within the protection scope of the game and will not be directly affected by any environmental disaster."

Having received the news from the game a long time ago, Su Mo did not choose to play tricks.

But before he could say more, a dull bell rang in the village.

Yes. It's twelve o'clock!
