The skinny young man wrapped the canned meat on a clean cloth . He organized his words and began to speak .
โThe establishment of Lindong Shelter began on the third day after the doomsday . Itโs been more than a month now . This shelter is also the largest shelter within hundreds of kilometers around the Lincheng area . The shelter hosted hundreds and thousands of survivors . โ
โPeople said you can live a good life here . But the reality is different than what people preach about . โ The skinny young man smiled bitterly . โAfter all, there were too many survivors and the food is limited . The distributed food is too little so people had to find their own source of income . โ
He pointed at a nearby building . At this time, the door was locked .
โThatโs the job market, some jobs will be assigned each morning . But theyโre all short term jobs like building the wall . And there were not much empty slot . People would line up every morning in front of the job market but so many people still canโt get a job . โ
โOf course hunters or professional are excluded . But ordinary people like me who canโt get a job works as a guide . If weโre lucky enough, weโll find someone like you . I can trade the canned meat from you for a few daysโ worth of food . Some people went out to the shelter to loot for goods . We call them scavengers . Sometimes they were lucky enough to find valuable goods, but mostlyโฆโ
Scavengersโฆ
Tang Yu knew exactly who they were . On the way to the shelter, he had encountered many thin survivors . It was impossible for them to hunt demonic beast . They didnโt possess the required ability for searching materials . After some combat teams finished searching, they went to pick up the leftover goods .
The goods didnโt worth much . Moreover, outside the shelter, no matter how close or far the combat team explored, thereโs no guarantee for safety . Sometimes, if they managed to find something valuable, they had to guard against the other survivors who would snatch it .
Indeed, in Lindong shelter, the life was better than anywhere else .

Tang Yu frowned .
They had this many idle survivorsโฆitโs a waste of labor!
In his territory, he had a porter team . But as the waste materials from the resort gradually depleted, they had to travel further to get materials . Naturally, they needed to increase the manpower . There were also lumber yards and quarries in the territorial buildings just like the one in game . But itโs very unrealistic to produce woods and stones out of thin air like in the game .
Even if these resource buildings were built, theyโd still need survivors to inspect the operation .
โIt canโt be helped . Even if I had survivors, I lack spirit stones, blueprints and advanced metal materials . โ
He found out that he lacked of all material . He shouldโve changed his name to Tang Que .
Lindong County area was not small . But itโs not particularly big either .
Hundreds of thousands of survivors who suddenly flooded the Lindong shelter occupied most of the land . Buildings with low function were demolished and transformed into crowded micro-apartments for the survivors to live in .
Except for a few main street, the entire Lindong shelter was very crowded . It was hard to breathe in such view .
Following the young man, Tang Yu walked along the main street . The young man introduced some of the main construction facilities of Lindong shelter as he walked .

โThe original bank building over there was now transformed into a mercenary mission management center . Many combat teams went there every day to get a suitable mission . After they finish the mission, they would return to report in the mission center . They also could redeem the accumulated mission point for a handsome reward . Thatโs why the mission center is the most visited place for most hunters . โ
Tang Yu stroked his chin .
After all, it was commissioned by the Lindong official . Naturally, there were many good things on the reward lists in the mission center .
No wonder why the hunters looked delighted .
The rewards were ranging from the most basic foods to guns and even rocket launcher, armored vehicles . The types of weapons that would stir jealousy of their fellow combatants . There were also a few things that tingled Tang Yuโs attention .
Awakening Elixir .
Lindong Shelterโs research on human awakening was obviously advanced . This Awakening Elixir had a greater auxiliary effect and fewer side effects compared to the simple awakening headband . Although itโs kinda useless for him, itโs effective enough to attract outsiders to his shelter .
Tang Yu thought carefully .
He only needed a few Awakening Elixirs . With this sample, he could research it and possibly derived the formula of this elixir .
In addition, Tang Yu was surprised when he saw container of spirit power .
Could this container really absorb spirit power?
After the death of a demonic beast, spirit power would quickly dissipate if not absorbed by a hunter . But the scientist in Lindong had discovered a special crystal that was compatible with spirit power . Through their research, they managed to create a crystal vessel to contain the spirit power .
Tang Yuโs eyes brightened . This trip to Lindong was indeed worth the risk .
โCan I buy Awakening Elixir and Spirit Power Container with spirit stones?โ
โYou can buy Awakening Elixir with spirit stone . But Spirit Power Containers are only exchangeable with mission points . Also, Awakening Elixirs were categorized into grade three, six and nine . The high-grade elixirs are hard to buy . โ
He couldnโt get it unless he took missions?
He was a little depressed .
Doing mission was out of the question . He went to east to do things, not just doing missions . Moreover, nobody knew how long itโd take to accumulate mission points in order to redeem the container .
โIs there really no other way?โ Tang Yu had a glimmer of hope .
The skinny young man pondered for a while . โThey said there are various goods in the black market that can be bought with spirit stones . But thatโs all I heard, I donโt have any information about the black market . โ He was a bit distressed but it couldnโt be helped .
Tang Yu didnโt expect him to know everything . After all, this man was just an ordinary survivor .
More importantly, he would eventually found the black market . He was worried if the item he was searching for was available there or not .
Tang Yu gave hint at Gray Blade .
The guide left and Gray Blade continue walked down the street to found some information regarding the black market .
Elaine looked delighted as she looked at the goods at the small street vendors along the street . Tang Yu let her be .
Just in a few moments, Tang Yu was alone .
Suddenly, a familiar voice called him from behind .
โTang Yu?โ
When he turned, he saw a young man with glasses with a flat head .
โAre you Xiaoming? Li Xiaoming?โ
