My Doomsday Territory Chapter 167, A Convoy From Afar.
In the area around Lindong, the wilderness, smoke, and dust were rolling. A big convoy slowly approached. Steel-plated armored vehicles moved at the forefront. Some parts of the welded steel polished to sharp points, stained with layers of the dried bloodstain. Just from a glance, one could tell that this convoy had gone through h.e.l.l.
There were dozens of armored cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles, all of which were modified and armed to the teeth. All were stained with thick blood, some strange internal organs were stuck on the wheels. The armored vehicles were topped with several heavy machine guns, as well as some black muzzles sticking out of the windows. The convoy looked stern and cold-blooded. Solemn hunters armed with guns or firearms walked on the convoys outskirts, their eyes wary of the environment.
One of the leaders looked at the map in his hand in convoy, Were almost there.
The news quickly spread throughout the convoy, making the people relieved and excited. Weve finally arrived at Lindong? Thank Goodness. I thought we wouldnt make it.
Yeah. I wont come along if I know it would be a rough journey. I almost died a few times! And here I thought it would be better to follow the military. The young guards expression darkened.
A middle-aged man with a skimpy mustache on his lips shook his head, Going out to the wilderness is already dangerous. The farther you are from the shelter, the more dangerous it will be. Our Storm Mercenary Regiment is considered a good one in Hengcheng City. But even so, youll be wiped out in the wilderness if youre not careful.
The same goes for the military. If they could travel easily in the wild, our shelter wont be compressed in such a small area, right?
But of course, if the military didnt act as the main force this time, we will never get to cross the wilderness to Lindong alive. So boys, look at the bright side. The dead are gone, but those who survive get to live a better life.
The mustache man looked at the two youths beside him. They all belonged in the same mercenary regiments. They were tasked to guard the goods being transported to Lindong. They wouldnt have risked their lives to come all the way from Hencheng to Lindong if the salary wasnt tempting enough. The most crucial thing was money.
Before the Doomsday, components were produced from all over the world so humans could craft complex products. But since the Doomsday started, humans couldnt continue producing complex products. For example, the military can only produce some simple individual weapons, such as armored vehicles and tanks. If no replacement parts are found, theyll make do without the missing parts. Right now, the Academy of Sciences is trying its best to study special weapons with post Doomsday new materials as the main material. However, the Earth changed after Doomsday. The difference between regions grew wider. Some minerals that werent scarce in Hengcheng were rare in Lindong. The two trucks beside the mustache man were filled with it, both finished products and raw materials.
Originally, they departed with 5 similar trucks. But their convoy had encountered danger along the way. After some hards.h.i.+p, only 2 trucks remained, along with the mercenaries beside him. This convoy, although looked big, already lost a lot of its members along the way.
What a shame The mustache man shook his head, unsure whether he pitied the lost cargo or the members died on the road.
Finally, a black line appeared on the horizon.
The soldiers in charge of guarding Lindong Shelter saw the convoy from afar. They werent surprised because the convoy was large. They could tell from a glance that it wasnt Lindongs convoy. Someone ran to inform the authority.
After a while, Lindongs steel gates were slowly pulled open. The military hunter lined up in a formation, while the convoy slowly entered the city.
Youve finally arrived. Lindong militarys top bra.s.s greet the convoy leader warmly.
The one sent by Hengcheng Shelter was the vice leader in the military. After settling down the convoy, they didnt waste time and immediately negotiated with the Lindong officials. We have brought over quite a few supplies. Including several materials for making s.p.a.ce stabilization devices that are unavailable in Lidong.
They were quite friendly with each other. But when dealing with two large shelters with millions of people under their wings, everything should be done according to the protocols. According to the previously agreed numbers, they exchanged supplies and also information.
The most fundamental reason for this cross-regional exchange is the Yuncheng incident.
The research on the s.p.a.ce stabilization device over at the Northern Court is progressing quickly, and they have given us some important materials. However, we are still missing some key materials Lu Jianjun said slowly.
The Hengcheng representative thought. Maybe its because our range of activities isnt wide enough. We only explored the area near the shelter, while there were so many places we havent explored yet. Maybe theres a possibility to find the materials needed for the s.p.a.ce stabilization device in the exploration area.
Then again, its still necessary to broaden the hunters activity range like the Northern Courts strategy to establish a transit shelter. And it boosted the hunters activities greatly. Our Hengcheng Shelter had prepared such a plan, what about the preparation here, General Lu? The Hengcheng representative asked.
Lu Jianjun answered, We have already established the transit station in Lindong. But for taking people back to the shelters He paused. Its easy to bribe small shelters higher-ups so they would willingly give their survivors to larger shelters. Even if some selfish shelters refused to hand over their survivors for money, he could take some coercive measures.
However, theres one problem
Lu Jianjun frowned. The Tree Shade Shelter possessed strength above the normal shelter. Whats more, the shelter was survivor friendly, and a normal demonic beast wave wasnt a threat to them. So, there seemed to be even fewer reasons to take the people from the said shelter.
Maybe we can test their att.i.tude

Lindong Commercial District.
While the top bra.s.s was discussing important matters concerning the shelters survival. The various mercenaries that arrived with Hengcheng military were busy selling the goods they had brought with them.
