Chapter 1087

It was close to noon.

Sporadic mission teams began to appear in Qinggang City, and they went to the new city to attend the meeting.

It's a bit funny to say that the Southern Suburbs Alliance had already fallen apart under Edmund's plan, and the managers in the alliance also divided into three factions, each wishing to kill each other immediately.

But after Hades appeared, these people seemed to have lost their memory again, and it took less than a day to "unite" together again.

This includes not only the Harbor Sanctuary, but even the first rebellious Cage Flower Sanctuary has the cheek to return to the Alliance.

"Sometimes I really envy these old guys. They can keep such a thick skin from birth. Before, they wanted to stab a knife into each other's heart, but now they can still talk and laugh like nothing. occur."

Walking among the missions of the Western Suburbs Alliance, Liehu saw a few "old friends" and immediately looked contemptuous.

He could see the strong malice under those guys' hypocritical smiles at a glance.

But these people don't know it.

Do you really not know?

Liehu subconsciously turned his head and swept across the allies around him.

Well, this feels decidedly better.

Except for the old guy Aldridge who was smiling like a tiger, the rest of Somo and Kevin looked very sincere.

At least these two people stood behind him, so he didn't have to worry about a knife coming over at any time.

But what makes Liehu a little headache is that.

Walking surrounded by soldiers at this time, Kevin was still humbly asking for advice on the future development direction of Huo Village.

He even called Sumo in the tone of "teacher".

According to this attitude, if one were to vote for the leader of the Western Suburbs Alliance now, Kevin would definitely vote for Sumo without hesitation.

Liehu was a little tangled in his heart.

On the one hand, self-esteem requires him not to lower his figure and let a person much younger than himself become the leader.

On the other hand, the cognition prompted him to let go of this little self-esteem, and strive to recognize the general trend of development after the world changes.

never mind.

forget about it.

Anyway, I don't want to be the leader, whoever likes to be the leader.

It would be great if Su Mo became the leader, and it would be more justifiable when applying for material transactions with Tianyuan Territory in the future.

Liehu tilted his head and pondered for a while, then simply threw all his thoughts out of his head, and joined the conversation behind him with a smile.

Watching this scene, Aldrich shook his head again and again, with mixed feelings in his heart.

It was unbelievable to say that, he originally thought that even if someone could subdue Liehu, it would be by unrivaled force.

But the reality is that this boy Su Mo took down the hunting tiger with only a few supplies without any effort.

Of course, what he didn't expect was that hunting tigers never needed materials, but respect, which seemed very inconspicuous.

But anyway, times have indeed changed.

Aldrich was also entangled, considering the issue of standing in the giant city refuge.

The long-standing grassroots can't solve the disadvantages, but it becomes more obvious as the world changes.

Should it continue to swing among the major forces, or should it join the alliance for common development?

Thinking about the advice Chapman gave himself before leaving, Aldridge shook his head slightly, looking straight ahead.

At noon, the torrential rain finally subsided and turned into light rain.

In the misty fog, the towering lightning wall has appeared at the end of the field of vision.

I don't know if it was Hardest's deliberate arrangement, but the corpses of those dwarves and lizards have not been collected yet.

In front of the wall, several large pits were piled up.

Curious managers have gathered near the big pit to check it out, matching the close-up pictures sent before.

Many people couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"My God, did such a big lizard grow up in nuclear wastewater?"

"I believe you said it grew up eating fuel rods!"

"Such a small dwarf. It looks like a miniature version of us humans."

"I don't know, we know too little about this strange world, and there is no place to inquire about it. I really miss the Foundation's fleet."

"What does Hades want to do? Do you want to join us in the Clear Harbor Sanctuary to fight these monsters?"

"Come on, I don't want to fight a lizard tens of meters away, so I might as well take someone and run away."

"Keep your voice down. Those people from the Western Suburbs Alliance are here, let's see their reaction."

"."

What you see in photos is never as shocking as seeing it in person.

Especially the heavy tank monitor lizard enlarged by the catalyst, because there is no contrast object in the photo, it is not so scary.

But in reality, that body was as huge as a large airliner.

Just the big hole dug out is like a football field, which really scared many people into fighting.

At this time, with the arrival of the Western Suburbs Alliance.

The voices of the managers surrounding the corpse pit were much lower, and everyone's positions were immediately separated.

Still standing together in the southern suburbs, the far left.

Those in the eastern suburbs are scattered in the middle, forming a buffer zone.

Watching Liehu who was talking and laughing, everyone's eyes widened, wanting to see Liehu get scared when he saw the monster in the corpse pit.

However, they were disappointed.

Walking by, the smile on Liehu's face not only did not decrease, but became more intense.

Including Kevin, who joined the Western Suburbs League recently, his face was only surprised, and there was not much fear that everyone wanted to see.

The rest of Su Mo was still as calm as usual, like a person who had no emotions at all.

As for Aldrich, the old guy didn't know what he was thinking, and he still walked with his head down while thinking.

"Heh, the gophers over there are staring at us, probably waiting for us to make a fool of themselves."

Liehu glanced at it and curled his lips in disdain.

"If these guys saw the scene last night, they would probably be scared to pee."

"You can't say that. They have really planted hard enough this time. It is human nature to want to see us make a fool of ourselves."

As a manager who came out of the Southern Suburbs League, Kevin seemed to smooth things over in a neutral manner, but in fact his tone was full of contempt.

This is the first time he has participated in such a large rally, not on the side of the Southern Suburban League.

It feels pretty good, at least I don't have to endure the suffocating breath of those old guys anymore.

"Don't tell me, Hades is probably looking at us, waiting for us to make a fool of himself." Liehu glanced at the huge wall in the distance, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Laughter dilutes the dull atmosphere.

The angry frowning managers of the southern suburbs turned their heads in spite of themselves.

"In the past, these old guys bullied me and squeezed me out. They didn't want Pingtan Refuge to enter the trade circle of Qinggang City. Now it's good. I don't have to endure this aggrieved anymore!"

I still remember the scene of being pushed out repeatedly but unable to do anything when I came to the Qinggang meeting last time.

Now, Liehu has a feeling of IQ suppression.

As for his current feeling of elation, Su Mo can completely understand.

It's roughly like a newcomer who is excluded in the workplace, not to mention being isolated from various activities, and being squeezed everywhere.

Now I have finally become an old man, and I still have a few friends who can advance and retreat together.

Perhaps it has not yet reached the point where it can stand against each other.

But compared with the previous aggrieved, this change is enough to make Liehu laugh out loud when he sleeps.

Without delaying to observe in front of the corpse pit, the alliance team continued to move forward.

Approaching the bottom of the huge wall, a smile appeared on Sumo's face until he found a bunch of small white flowers growing in the corner.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin turned his head, a little surprised.

"You'll find out later."

For this well-behaved apprentice, Su Mo betrayed him.

A group of people passed through the broken city gate, and soon entered Qinggang New City, which had been under construction for a long time.

Unlike the advanced industrial zone I saw at the first sight when I came in last time, the current new city is obviously more like a modern city.

Neat floor tiles are laid at the entrance to the city, and there are rows of standard houses on both sides.

It's a pity that the inflow of population far exceeds the limit of the land's ability to absorb the population, and the original planning of the new city also determines that they cannot generate too many jobs, so they can only absorb and digest it through a large amount of infrastructure.

This approach directly leads to the fact that most of the houses opened on both sides of the street are residential buildings, which cannot be reasonably used to form shops to stimulate consumption.

Even a layman like Liehu can see its disadvantages at a glance.

But in the past, Liehu might have taunted him directly.

Now, when he was speaking, he couldn't help but look at Somo, and he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

"Well, teacher, it seems that their approach is not in line with economic development, right?"

"Not necessarily."

Su Mo smiled lightly and shook his head.

The mode of material production determines the mode of industrial construction.

Every change in productivity will continuously improve the status of bottom workers.

"As long as the starch and protein production machines in the Clear Harbor Refuge are not broken, they are fully capable of keeping hundreds of thousands of idlers alive."

"But if they give these people a decent job, give them spending power."

"For example, what if they want to buy some items that the Clear Harbor Refuge only has in stock and cannot continue to manufacture?"

"Or provide a lot of entertainment activities, how to make up for the materials lost in those activities?"

Su Mo didn't speak too thoroughly, but none of the people present were fools.

Even Liehu understood.

Although Qinggang New City received a large number of homeless people, they didn't want to pay extra for it.

It is already the limit to supply the daily living needs of these people, and it will be a money-losing business if it is depleted any longer.

Unless these people show more value, or the city opens up a new business route.

Only when the work of these people can generate external benefits can they get internal status and reasonable treatment.

In fact, the current situation in the new city is exactly like this.

The acceptance of homeless people is not closed here, as long as they are willing to come, there will be relief meals distributed.

The relief meal lasted fourteen days.

If you still want to eat on the fifteenth day, you can only go to participate in the construction tasks arranged by the new city.

It's just that these constructions can't bring development to the new city.

It's like residential houses, build one hundred, build five hundred, just to give the homeless a place to live.

The materials are still being consumed continuously, and there is no external supplement.

Therefore, what is distributed to the homeless is only a simple relief meal.

They wanted to exchange for new clothes, but they could only exchange them with the meals they had received.

This is obviously not good news for the homeless who imagined that they could be treated as normal as the residents of the gopher.

"So the previous war was not forced by them, but by the wanderers who took the initiative?"

Liehu said thoughtfully.

"The answer is correct. The plunder brought about by the war can generate external benefits, so the homeless can get extra material rewards, and it will not consume the original storage of the Clear Harbor Refuge."

Su Mo nodded, somewhat satisfied that Liehu's brain finally became easier to use.

"So I guess, Hades must have discovered this too, and he asked us to come to the rally today."

"Just trying to solve a problem with no external benefits?"

Kevin quickly answered.

"Correct, he must have seen how our Western Suburbs League works."

Speaking of which, the internal operation of the western suburbs is not very healthy.

It's just because Hunting Tiger, Aldrich, and Kevin are willing to consume the storage before the refuge.

The three refuges have recently undergone a large amount of infrastructure construction, and the demand is quite high.

Once they can't pay for the infrastructure, or the infrastructure has been completed and the demand is lost.

Then the trade framework that has been built with great difficulty will soon face huge operational problems.

For this, the only solution can only be open source.

Either generate a trade surplus and plunder cheap materials or labor from farther places to satisfy the cycle.

Either get game or system rewards, and a mine or resource point will appear directly from the void.

Or simply.

If you have no money, just unite to start a war. As long as you can lay down a Gopherman’s shelter, the materials inside will be able to maintain the operation of the alliance for a long time, and continue to build more infrastructure to attract labor to join the enlarged "plate".

besides.

Somo didn't have any better ideas yet.

Would Hades have a better way?

"Let's go, it's time for us to attend this meeting. I really want to see what this century-old manager will do."

Lewis, who was in charge of the reception last time, is still standing in a conspicuous place.

The difference is that the blond minister at this time has lost the arrogance of last time, and has become much humbler.

Seeing the Western Suburbs Alliance coming together, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully:

"My lords, Mr. Hades is already waiting in the conference room."

"Hmph." Liehu let out his breath with his nose, and glared at the humble blond guy: "We came all the way here to attend the meeting, not to mention eating, and not even saliva?"

Compared with the rich treatment when I first went to Tianyuan Refuge.

Liehu glanced contemptuously at Lewis who was at a loss, and walked forward with a cold snort again.

"Forgive me, he has this character, you send someone to lead us the way."

Kevin walked behind and apologized, but his smiling expression became more and more arrogant.

"It's okay, my lords, this way please!"

He quickly assigned a few guards to lead the way, and Lewis didn't dare to express any displeasure until everyone disappeared.

No way, since Hades woke up and dealt with a large number of managers, everyone in the Clear Harbor Refuge is now in danger.

No one knows whether he will be the next unlucky person to be dealt with, so he can only put away his previous arrogance.

Even if he is being ridiculed by the Western Suburbs League now, he can only bear it.

"Damn Edmund, this mess made me feel angry too."

He glanced at the wall bitterly, and found another manager coming in the distance, Lewis could only take a deep breath and put on a professional smile.

It's just that he can guarantee it in the bottom of his heart.

Now, definitely in the decades since Sunny Harbor Sanctuary was established.

It's the most frustrating time!
