My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 163 - 162 High-Quality Resources
Given the current state of our territory, I'm no longer in a hurry to meet the needs of ordinary survivors.
However, the more Awakeners, the better, in my opinion. These Awakeners don't necessarily have to be recruited into the Patrol Team. I plan to follow an elite strategy for the Patrol Team, where loyalty is also very important. The future recruitment of the Patrol Team will become increasingly stringent.
But Awakeners can create value in and of themselves!
And these Lindong Awakeners who have entered the Secret Realm this time...
Tang Yu glanced behind him, the weakest were also Elite squads, after all. Those too weak simply didn't have the ability to operate in the outskirts of the mountain range. Some who weren't confident in their abilities stayed outside, watching, without actually entering the Secret Realm.
Treasures are great, but life is more important... and whether treasures actually exist, that's another matter.
Therefore, most of the Awakeners who entered the Secret Realm, um, are premium resources.
'If I can lure these Awakeners to our territory, the sales volume of goods is certain to climb several notches. No matter how you look at it, there are items on sale in the territory that can't be found in Lindong, even though these Awakeners have quite a few Source Crystals in their pockets.'
'Not only that, these Awakeners are powerful. Especially those top Mercenary Corps teams, with members often being masters at the Fourth or Fifth Layer. As long as these people are active around the territory, they can generate a steady stream of income. Whenever I need some special materials, I can also issue tasks through the adventurers guild to encourage these people to search actively. This way, there would be an additional pathway for gathering materials...'
Tang Yu thoughtfully considered this as a situation where one stone could knock down two birds, and maybe it could even make the Sanctuary's reputation international, provided those foreigners can understand what he wrote.
He rummaged through his twenty-slot Space Backpack and finally pulled out a few pieces of wood, God knows why he had wood in his backpack!
"Hmm, let's plane these wooden pieces and then fill them in the gap here."
As the laborers busied themselves, Tang Yu took out a small carving knife specially for carving, "What should I carve into it?"
He spoke his thoughts aloud, initially expecting others to give suggestions, but instead...
"Come to Green Shadow Sanctuary soon and experience the art of explosion!"
"Big trash good, this here is Green Shadow Sanctuary, super calling you guys, just experience it for three hours, and you will love it deeply, just like how Shay loves rings."
The former was a suggestion from Shay, the latter from Grey Blade, which made Tang Yu wonder what exactly had Grey Blade been up to during their time in Lindong?
Isn't there anyone reliable?
The answer was really no.
That was when he realized, back when he was planning, he had actually missed out on one department: the department of propaganda!
Indeed, it's because of the lack of propaganda for the territory that they were short on quality resources. This won't do. Once I return, I must make sure to handle this area well.
Thinking too far ahead, he brought his thoughts back to the present and Tang Yu continued to ponder.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
"Green Shadow Sanctuary, located 60 kilometers south of Lindong Sanctuary, has the highest quality equipment, the best cultivation environment, the most comfortable abodes. Here, just experience for three hours and you will fall deeply in love with everything..."
Of course, he hadn't written it as exaggeratedly, but the gist was similar.
After leaving a mark of their visit in this passage, the group continued to move forward.
...
Behind them, the Awakeners trailing far away were somewhat puzzled.
"Why have they suddenly stopped?"
Lindong's mercenaries didn't dare to get too close, and Awakeners from other places naturally just followed from afar, in case there was any danger. Getting too close might catch them in the blast. Letting those fools take the lead in detecting mines was the natural course of action.
Many Awakeners from other regions thought the same.
After they waited for Tang Yu and his group to move forward, they also continued to follow behind. At this moment, someone pointed at the side of the stone wall, "Look, there's something there!"
The part of the stone wall was replaced with wooden planks, which were much more conspicuous than before.
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but look over.
On the wooden plank, several lines of small characters were etched—could it be that these were clues about this place? Is that why those people stopped here for so long?!
With a whoosh, everyone gathered to look closer, and the Lindong mercenaries immediately gasped in shock.
The text actually mentioned Lindong Sanctuary—could the clues about this place be related to Lindong... Bullshit!
The stone walls on both sides of the corridor were smooth and even, and only this section had been replaced with wood, as if it had been dug out and refilled; they could easily tell.
Suddenly, someone realized, "Hey, could that 'Green Shadow Sanctuary' be the big boss's sanctuary?"
"Now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense. None of the big shots in Lindong are that young. Now it seems this big boss is actually a Sanctuary Leader himself!"
"You're all missing the point. It says there's a Demon-slaying Longsword for sale at Green Shadow. A Demon-slaying Longsword! Don't you guys want it? Ever since that time, no Demon-slaying Longsword has leaked into the Black Market. I've been saving up Source Crystals for nothing!"
The Lindong mercenaries were filled with even more surprise.
They had finally discovered the big boss's background, and moreover, they had the chance to purchase weapons like the Demon-slaying Longsword. Looking at the prices mentioned above, they were much cheaper than the ones that flowed out to the Black Market.
Indeed, they had struck it rich!
Lucky for them they chose to follow this big boss. Those who went down the other corridors weren't so fortunate!
However, Awakeners from other places turned grim.
They couldn't understand what was written, but many could recognize that it was written in Chinese!
In such a mysterious space, how could Chinese characters appear? They must be kidding!
Someone immediately acted, ripping off the entire wooden plank in one go, revealing the unevenly dug-out stone wall behind it.
"There must be some clues on this stone wall that those people dug up and took away!" a short East Asian man grated, speaking in a language the Lindong mercenaries couldn't understand.
"It must be an important clue. No, we can't go on like this. We have to get our hands on those clues!"
As he spoke, he waved a grand gesture, and a hundred or so Awakeners promptly responded in agreement.
These people wore colorful clothes similar to military uniforms and held various types of firearms. The short young man turned out to be the leader of a warlord.
Suddenly, these hundred plus Awakeners quickened their pace, rushing forward.
Meanwhile, the line of people ahead continued to move at a steady pace, and the distance between the two groups closed quickly.
The short young man's gaze turned fierce, "Block a few of them... Wait, what is that!"
He suddenly saw that the tunnel had come to an end, and beyond the tunnel's entrance seemed to be a spacious hall, the lighting even brighter.
"Forget about those people, speed up! There must be good stuff inside that hall, we need to grab it fast!"
