attack city

"No problem, thank you very much."

Gujiacheng's demand for rare metals is currently not much. As a town-level city, as long as they have energy blocks and go to larger trading venues, they can get them in a short time.

As for the crystals, they have just entered the town level and it will take a long time to reach the county level, so just collect them slowly.

And the crystals required to advance to the county level are not too many.

Therefore, this compensation is basically painless to them.

Of course, Gu Mingcheng didn't know that the factory locations inside Shenlong City were really full, and even a factory was set up in the corner of the farm.

Although they were not high-end factories, Gu Mingcheng was surprised by Xiang Yang's generosity and was extremely grateful.

Because their factory locations are basically empty, after acquiring these factories in Black Rock City, they immediately have a large amount of production capacity.

Some of them can also overlap with what they already have, such as seasoning factories, which can be directly merged to expand the scale.

The division of factories first is also related to the reception of personnel.

so.

For the time being, Shenlong City only has people who have worked in farms, vehicles, electronics, blast furnaces, etc., as well as a small number of clothing production workers and restaurant staff.

Of course, high-end professionals such as doctors, engineers, and researchers are also necessary.

Most of the people Gujiacheng wants are similar to those in Shenlong City, but more people in seasoning, food manufacturing, and small device manufacturing are basically coming from the factory.

Vehicles and electronics also require fewer people because they don't have factories in this area. These people come to maintain internal circuits and vehicles.

Neither city asked for any warriors, nor even asked them what their abilities were.

Therefore, the surviving warrior groups in Black Rock City are still very depressed.

The reason why Shenlong City does not want soldiers is not because it was once a hostile city and the two sides fought.

It's because Xiang Yang feels that it is more reliable to train soldiers by himself.

For a county-level city, this is relatively rare, but now Shenlong City has an instructor named Wu Zhongjun and an assistant instructor named Yu Bin.

They can absolutely do it.

The perfect completion of this invasion operation has been proved.

Although Bai Qianxue has rich experience and strong commanding ability, and she deserves the most credit for this breakthrough operation, the well-trained training of other personnel is definitely one of the biggest reasons.

Gujiacheng is actually in short supply of soldiers. They don't want them just because of the characteristics of the city lord of the new human city.

Just a moment ago, it was a blood feud, but in the blink of an eye, it became one of his own. Gu Mingcheng couldn't accept it, because in his mind, this was not a modern war.

Even in the county-level Black Rock City, the warrior group is small-scale, similar to the city's top brass, and in most cases they are also decision-makers.

Even low-level soldiers have the right to question unreasonable orders.

This time, Black Rock City wanted to seize the treasure they discovered first, and even went to the extent of fighting. It must have received the consent of the warrior group, and maybe it was the suggestion of some people.

Therefore, it is difficult for him to accept it.

He will not find decision-makers to take responsibility like the aboriginal city lords do, but will reject all members.

Of course, this is not just a matter of concept, nor is it just a matter of not fully adapting to everything in the wasteland, it is also an act based on caution.

Because there were too many people, the reception of the population was carried out in batches. This was the purpose of separating into small groups before, so as to avoid panic.

Those who were in Black Rock City and met the conditions, or who thought they were eligible, began to go to the two cities to receive inspections.

However, the crowd only moved in one direction, all heading towards Wuzhong Army.

There was no one in front of Gujiacheng.

"Fuck, it looks like we can only be used as the second batch of candidate cities." Gu Mingcheng was very depressed, but everyone wanted to go to Shenlong City.

This is too exaggerated.

The few aboriginal warriors didn't feel that way. Whether it was the size of the city or the combat effectiveness it displayed, Shenlong City was extremely outstanding. It was a choice that everyone would make.

"Then let's start selecting talents in food and gadget manufacturing, seasoning and rice noodle processing plants, and gadget manufacturing plants."

Gu Mingcheng thought about it and realized that there were too few people on his side to look good, so he accepted these people in advance.

Their original plan was to first recruit high-end talents, as well as those in the automotive and electronic fields.

Because they require a relatively large number of people in fields such as farms and food, and their population location is limited, it is naturally no problem to have fewer people in these fields.

That's why I put it at the back.

There are not many professional fields that are not in demand in Shenlong City. Now we can only find these people first, because these people have no competitors, but we need to establish a certain number.

"First we need a total of eighty people, and then we can add more when the final population position is high." Although this is troublesome, it is the only way to do it.

So, someone from Gujiacheng finally came over.

The selection of the recipients took several hours to complete. The two cities combined only had about 700 people. Of course, the number included in the population size limit was only more than 500.

There are still more than 1,600 people who can only continue to be wild people. These people need to return to the entrance and exit of the ruins by themselves.

It seems that this canyon has city tracks extending to the entrance and exit of the ruins, but in fact this is much more difficult than on the main continent.

Because the urban crawler tracks in the ruins are irregular and numerous.

You never know whether walking along this track will lead to the entrance and exit of the ruins, or continue somewhere deep inside the ruins.

It is even more common to encounter multiple crawler tracks that cross each other.

The track track here is a maze. The closer you get to the entrance and exit of the ruins, the greater the number and the harder it is to identify them.

As ruins, they are all new and have no landmarks.

But these are not things that Shenlong City and Gujiacheng need to consider. When they follow them in Black Rock City and plan to kill them and snatch the treasure, this kind of risk is what everyone in the city must bear.

Although ordinary city residents are innocent and seem too cruel, it is a cruel thing for anyone to come to this wasteland.

"We can provide each of you with at least seven days of food rations, tents and other supplies, and a few spears, bows and arrows."

Of course, these are taken from the spoils of Black Rock City. Shenlong City and Gujia City themselves do not need to use any supplies.

Xiang Yang said: "You cannot leave until our two cities are repaired and left, but you can be allowed to live in the ruins of Black Rock City temporarily."

"The weapons can't be given to you until we leave."

The main consideration is that when these people leave the canyon, they happen to encounter other cities, which may cause trouble.

Because it only takes a few hours to reach the location of the treasure. If the city is not damaged, after entering and returning, these people will only have to walk a little way out.

But the time it takes to repair the city is very long, measured in days.

Leaving the canyon is relatively simple, because there is only one direction and one road, and all it takes is time.

Of course, these people have no other choice.

At least when the two cities are there, they are relatively safe, because there are no energy giants nearby for the time being, and other wild creatures do not dare to attack here without any strength.

After settling the population matter, Xiang Yang and the others continued to divide other supplies.

The first thing is of course the energy blocks. Gu Mingcheng was shocked when he got the number of remaining energy blocks in Black Rock City, because the total number exceeded 37,000.

This completely refreshed his understanding, mainly because he had no intuitive feeling about the consumption levels of cities of various sizes.

The consumption of county-level cities is expected to be huge. Even if they are not moved, the life support system alone is a huge expense.

The energy block storage capacity of county-level cities has reached 60,000, and Blackstone City is 80% full when entering the ruins. They consumed a lot in this battle, and in such a short time, they reached the level of tens of thousands.

But there is still so much left.

A county-level city has a population of 1,000, and a town-level city has a population of 300. In terms of effort, it doesn't matter whether it's Shenlong City or Gujiacheng.

According to the principle of dividing the spoils, Shenlong City got more than 75%, more than 28,000, while Gujiacheng got less than 25%, more than 8,700.

A full warehouse at the county level is 20,000, while a full warehouse at the town level is only 6,000.

Not counting the original ones, the two cities are also directly full of energy blocks, and there are many more.

"Damn, Black Rock City is actually so rich." At this moment, Gu Mingcheng suddenly felt that those factories were nothing more than that, "By the way, I owe you the money I owe you for selling weapons on credit. Now I will pay you back with interest."

Gu Mingcheng suddenly became very wealthy.

The warehouse was full and there were so many more. This was the first time he had encountered it.

It's like a poor boy suddenly became a millionaire.

"Okay." Xiang Yang naturally didn't care, after all, it would take several months each time he met.

Then there are various metals and other supplies in the warehouses in the industrial zone. Blackstone City is relatively rich in rare metals, with a total of two tons, and crystals are not too small, with a total of more than five hundred.

As I said before, all these were basically given to Shenlong City, and Gujiacheng only got a small fraction, which will be used for repairs and the like.

There are also a lot of other supplies, especially grain, transport trucks, tractors and other machinery in Black Rock City, so it is much easier to sort them out.

After the entire loot was divided and the repairs were completed, all warehouses in the two cities were still full, and a large amount of materials were accumulated in some spare facilities.

For Shenlong City, even if it reaches the county level now, the only thing left is rare metals and crystals.

Of course, if it is to be upgraded in the future, this may not be necessary, because during the operation of the city, a large amount of resources are consumed, and the overall material level of a city changes all the time.

But now the energy block level of Shenlong City has reached an astonishing over 50,000, and there are still more than two full warehouses in county-level cities.

With such a huge amount of energy blocks, it is not a rare material, and it is easy to purchase it at any time in the future.

Early the next morning after the restoration was completed, Shenlong City and Gujiacheng continued their journey to the original purpose of the trip, the location of the treasure, and the end of the canyon.

At noon.

"Report to the city lord that the energy beast's lair has been discovered. There are two small energy beasts near the entrance of the lair." Still far away, a report came from the lookout of Shenlong City.

"We will stop here temporarily and arrange invasion tactics." Xiang Yang informed Gu Mingcheng and asked the Wuzhong Army to lead the team and dispatched investigators.

After a while, the front reported back.

They look like cave-dwelling energy behemoths similar to pangolins. The two smaller ones are manor-level, lying at the entrance and exit of the lair to bask in the sun. The others are in the lair, and the number cannot be confirmed.

The energy giant's lair is built in a mountain col.

The treasure hiding place is on the mountainside to the left of the lair, on a large platform. The innermost part of the platform is a giant cave with a depth of only more than 40 meters and an area of ​​approximately more than 5,000 square meters.

The treasure chest is placed in the innermost part of the cave. Because the entrance to the cave is lower and the inside is higher, it cannot be seen unless it is close to a certain angle.

In the past, it was difficult to find an angle to look out from in the city, and it was even more difficult to find it. People who had gone past the city could just go to the mountain opposite and use a telescope to see it, and it would be easier to find.

The description of the appearance of the treasure chest is the same as the information provided by Gu Mingcheng.

"If you want to go up to the platform, you should only go through a staircase near the entrance and exit of the lair, which is next to the energy beast lying there basking in the sun. Only people can go up there, cars cannot go up the steps."

In other words, even if someone moves up to carry the treasure box, the energy beast will inevitably be disturbed.

"Alternatively, you can use city artillery to blast away the rock wall near the entrance and exit of the energy beast's lair, creating a slope that you can drive up. The platform where the treasure chest is located is not very high from the ground, so it is easier to create a passage.

"

Wu Zhongjun said: "These energy giants are very sensitive to sound, but they cannot distinguish human smell. Once the cannon is fired, these monsters will inevitably be alarmed."

"Can you go up the stairs and have a look?" Xiang Yang asked.

"We can't do that at the moment. There is a manor-level energy behemoth lying there. We can only pass over the energy behemoth's body." Wu Zhongjun replied: "When the energy behemoth returns inside, you can sneak up, but it's a bit difficult to transport the treasure chest with this method.

Disaster."

It is not easy to carry such a big treasure chest and there are so many of them, and Xiang Yang and the others are very doubtful whether it can be easily opened.

Of course, the people in Gujiacheng didn't open it either. After their people were discovered, they didn't dare to go in too much for fear of being blocked in the cave.

That platform is not high, and the energy behemoth can easily climb up.

"Go back now." Xiang Yang said.

"Received." Wu Zhongjun has gone deep into the vicinity of the entrance and exit of the energy beast's lair, more than forty meters away from the two manor-level energy beasts.

The place near the entrance and exit of the nest is not only very large, but there are also some rock cracks on the top, so the sun can shine in, making it relatively bright.

Radar cannot detect it here, but lookouts can see it directly with optics without turning on thermal imaging.

After receiving Xiang Yang's order, Wu Zhongjun began to leave the energy beast's lair, join the team members outside, and return to Shenlong City.

"We attack directly inside and line up in a row. Considering the geography near the entrance and exit of the energy beast's lair, we can definitely do it."

Shenlong City is arranging tactics.

After the previous battle with Black Rock City, Gujiacheng already trusted Xiang Yang and the others, and knew very well that in terms of combat, Shenlong City was more than a little better than them.
