Chapter 59 – News on the Luoxia Shelter
Lindong, five-star residence .
These suits were originally a hotel suite . The environment was excellent, so it was used as a five-star housing after the doomsday .
Tang Yu didn’t know yet that Chen Haiping had helped him in business . He was browsing for some information in the computer on his room .
Elaine went shopping early in the morning . Gray Blade went to gather some more information after he observed each property in the house .
“No… Nope… That wasn’t what I was looking for . ”
He had been using the computer to find some information ever since they arrived in this suite last night . His top priority was to find some information about the shelter where his parents were probably staying .
The network available in Lindong Shelter was a Local Area Network .
There weren’t many internet options, but two of them were the most important .
The first one was data bank . Many materials before the doomsday were entered on it . Whether they were useful or not, nonetheless, Tang Yu copied them all in a flash disk .
Knowledge was the essence of human civilization . In the doomsday, it could be useful if it’s maintained well .
Some blueprints that were now available were guns .
The blueprints weren’t that valuable, they could be found online before the doomsday . But having a blueprints and being able to manufacture guns from blueprints was a different thing .
Tang Yu had no worries . Through research, by spending some spirit stones, these blueprints could be transformed into the corresponding blueprints by the research institute and the workshop would manufacture the guns . Of course the research institute could also analyze the actual gun and develop the blueprints . But this method was more expensive .
He naturally chose the less expensive method .
Firearms were still considered good . Just by replacing the ordinary bullets into armor-piercing ammunition would greatly increase its destructive power against demonic beast . Even if it couldn’t finish a powerful demonic beast, it’d be good enough as a defensive weapon .
Tang Yu entered another function, the War Forum .
This was an exchange forum developed by Lindong officials . The UI was fairly simple, but it contained a whole lot of useful information .
Many survivors, especially the mission team exchanging and trading information with their fellow hunters there . Officials also sometimes posted some important news .
Tang Yu browsed, his eyes quickly skimming trough the information . However, there was too much information and it wasn’t properly organized .
[High-Ranked Demonic Beast Found in the Western Suburbs of Lincheng!] [A Demonic Beast Bigger Than a Truck Was Spotted!] [Want to Sell Demonic Beast Fur . Amount and Price is Negotiable] [A forest in east of Qingxi Town was identified with high-grade wood . Recruiting new team member to collect the woods . Our team ranked 87 in the mission center . Contact us ASAP if you’re interested in joining . ] [(OFFICIAL) Academy of Sciences announced that they had achieved high stage in the study of demonic beast and had extracted power source from it . It’s expected to be used in future equipment . ]
Dazzling array of posts appeared in front of him . Even it wasn’t the information he was looking for, they’re indeed a mind-blowing information .
This trip to Lindong was indeed worth the risk . In terms of personnel or resources, large shelters couldn’t be compared with small shelter .
Only powerful hunters could survived the wilderness to Lindong . That was the reason why there were so many powerful hunters in Lindong Shelter and only weak hunters in small shelters .
If it wasn’t for the system and territory, he’d prefer to set up a mercenary regiment in Lindong .
Tang Yu swiped page after page .
A post came into his view .
[Summary of surrounding provinces and cities . ]
It was posted three days ago .
Official didn’t post this, but an ID called BaiXiaosheng10086 . From the numbers behind the ID, Tang Yu estimated that the ID BaiXiaosheng was already taken, so the person added numbers behind it .
That person was very famous in the forum . The post contained a map and summary of all aspects of the map . Tang Yu read it carefully .
Basically, every capital city of the province had a large shelter, there were also some number of two cities that merged into one shelter . In addition, some small and medium shelter were also marked in the post .
Not only that, there were countless small shelters . Some of them was hiding their location in order to survive from demonic beast .
Tang Yu’s eyes fell on a point of the map .
The Tree Shade Shelter was marked with a ‘destroyed’ commentary .
This man was well informed .
Tang Yu was also surprised . This BaiXiaosheng10086 did have real skills on finding information .
He found the neighboring provinces on the map . There were less information on it, but some large shelters were marked .
“I found it! Luoxia Shelter!”
When communication was still available, he received news from his parents that the military was building a shelter .
That was the Luoxia Shelter, located in the suburb of Luoxia .
There was a summary .
Luoxia Shelter was very large shelter with more than two million survivors resided inside . The shelter was built by the combined forces of three nearby military divisions .
Tang Yu was relieved to read the summary .
Their military strength was even stronger than the one in Lindong . Theoretically speaking, the security was guaranteed .
He hadn’t heard news of large shelters being destroyed by demonic beast .
Although he was a little bit relieved, Tang Yu was still anxious . His parents were safe and sound, but that didn’t mean they lived comfortably .
He was once an ordinary survivor .
But he also understood that worrying over things was useless .
The distance between him and Luoxia Shelter was thousands of kilometers apart . With countless dangers along the way, it would be very difficult to reach the Luoxia Shelter .
Especially after he saw a city-level demonic beast above the awakening order in Maple Leaf Town .
He understood that currently it’s impossible to cross the distance . He had to prepare so many things such as vehicles with both good defense and speed just to get to Lindong Shelter .
Along the way to Lindong, even off-road vehicles didn’t help much . Sometimes the road was jammed and they had to take care of the obstacle on the road .
In that case, if he wanted to go to Luoxia Shelter from the territory, he had to spend countless days in the wilderness . It’s simply too dangerous .
After some consideration, Tang Yu sighed and downloaded the map .
This map was very informative . It didn’t just contain information about the shelters, but also marked some cracks of the abyss .
In other word, this map was very valuable .
At the end of the post, Tang Yu read the line .
[For more detailed information, please consult BaiXiaosheng Office in Dongyuan Street No . 25 . There’s a 20% discount for new customers/]
Tang Yu was speechless .
He wrote down the address and continued to read other content .
All day long until the night fell .
After dinner, Tang Yu, Elaine and Gray Blade came to the appointed place .
Li Xiaoming was already there . He wore black suit equipped with a hat, black sunglasses and mask .
He cautiously hid behind a utility pole .
Tang Yu was speechless and sneaked on his back . He gently patted his friend’s shoulder .
Li Xiaoming jumped in surprise, “Damn you, Tang . Are you ready? We’re going to the black market . We should maintain a low profile and hide our faces so we don’t attract other people’s attention . ”
He started talking and raised his eyebrows . He noticed there were two other people behind Tang Yu . Probably the teammates he had mentioned before .
All three of them were wearing black robes with hoods and mask on their face . He wouldn’t have recognize them if it wasn’t for Tang Yu’s voice .
“…well, aren’t you well prepared?”
Tang Yu shrugged, “I just did what you asked me to do . ”
They followed Li Xiaoming and finally came to a hut .
Tang Yu had no idea how Li Xiaoming knew about this place even though he’d never been there before .
Tang Yu tried to remember the road he had just walked . His direction-blind ‘ability’ got the best of him . His mind was busy recalling .
…so the black market was well hidden .
