CHAPTER 317: CHAPTER 316 MEDIEVAL APARTMENT BUILDING_2

Each set of equipment obtained from the Rusted Fortress corresponds to a Plunderer.

Their task is simple — take as much as possible, even sand!

After all, the sand might contain rare elements.

Once everything got underway, Lin Yi returned to Düsseldorf to continue the meeting.

He also informed the couple about the matters concerning Lille and the Americans.

Letting them understand everything about the red zombies, invaders, mutated animals, and more.

Then they discussed the recruitment of experts.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t found any pilots yet, but they found about 200 eligible people and their families.

Of course, only those who agreed to Lin Yi’s terms and passed the screening could go with him.

The Shelter also obtained a large batch of furniture, appliances, smartphones, and other devices containing rare materials.

Lin Yi paid for these items with food.

Lainer also informed him about the locations of three military bases to the northeast on the way to Berlin.

His people steered clear of these bases because they were surrounded by a horde of zombies.

He also shared a rumor about a large survivor camp in Hanover.

After concluding the matters and saying goodbye, Lin Yi summoned his aircraft and flew towards the first military base.

It was approximately a hundred kilometers away in a straight line.

But after covering ten kilometers, he returned to the Shelter.

He approached the two girls working on laptops.

"I guess you two are done, right?"

"Yes! You’re going to love it." Chen Youyou said.

Natasha nodded as well.

The two girls showed Lin Yi the design plan for the new residential area in the Level 5 Planner application.

The plan included 550 three-story apartment buildings reminiscent of Western European medieval architecture.

These apartment buildings are closely packed, with small backyards but no parking lots or shopping centers.

Some buildings had ground-floor shops, including butcheries, grocery stores, bakeries, and other artisan shops that would make food locally.

The exterior of these buildings appeared medieval, but the interiors were fully modernized.

Each building had three floors, with three apartments on each floor.

The apartments had two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and a kitchen. Lin Yi wondered how those who were uneducated would figure these out.

But Chen Youyou assured him that arrangements had been made to train the Argonian people.

Just in case, restaurants and taverns were also constructed.

The roads were wide enough to accommodate two buses, with boundaries on both sides to prevent people from being hit by vehicles.

They also designed above-ground and underground pedestrian crossings and bus stops.

How was Chen Youyou going to teach these weak, lice-ridden bumpkins to look both ways before crossing the road?

Lin Yi had no idea.

But he was satisfied with everything, confirmed the project, and 1.38 million Coins were deducted from the Shelter’s balance.

He waited for the construction to be completed, then teleported the two girls to the newly built neighborhood, appearing there himself a few seconds later.

It looked even cooler in real life!

As they walked through this medieval-style town, they saw that these apartment buildings were distinct yet had a unified style.

The girls also constructed a large town square, with several smaller squares inside, one of which had a fountain.

The fountain was large and beautiful, with various statues, although they didn’t quite fit the medieval style.

After a quick tour, Lin Yi allowed them to start moving the Argonian people into the new neighborhood.

Then he returned to Earth and continued his journey to the first military base.

He had only covered a third of the way by lunchtime.

After bringing the Plunderers back from the Tilian Planet, Lin Yi quickly grabbed something to eat, then sent his people back to continue raiding the camp.

Besides resources and corpses, they were also looking for information on the Tilian people’s space program.

The Horu people hadn’t touched the old equipment stored there, so there was a chance they might find something useful for humanity’s future.

"Boss, Immanuel says the analysis is complete and the vending machine can be configured now."

"I’ll be there right away." After issuing some more orders, Lin Yi teleported to the place with the laptops.

There, he saw Immanuel wearing JNCO jeans and a crooked baseball cap.

"Uh... are you okay, old buddy?"

"Ha! I’m feeling a bit younger now, so I thought I’d act my new age." Immanuel answered, gesturing wildly.

"Manny, even kids these days don’t dress like that. Maybe France is a bit behind the times... never mind, let’s get to work."

"Alright!" said the old man, taking off the baseball cap and sitting in front of the laptop.

There were two vending machines in Lille.

The third vending machine, which sold power armor, fuel, and water, had just been upgraded to level 2.

For the new slots, he suggested adding a Skill Book and Energy Core.

The slots for selling items could be set to empty Energy Cores.

Lin Yi thought this idea was good.

"But we need to set a limit on the number of Energy Cores purchased."

"We could use some tricks, pricing with both coins and empty energy cores,"

"... I remember Tatiana mentioned their mutated animals might be edible? We could sell them Elemental Energy Cores..."

"I think so. They don’t buy much in the way of vegetables, but apart from that new vending machine, all other vending machines can be upgraded to level 2.

I suggest not selling meat anymore but switching to wheat, and replacing vegetables with fruits.

As for new products, I suggest selling a Flame Skill Book and ammunition, and continue to acquire large amounts of phones and energy cores."

"No, let’s do it this way: potatoes, Flame Skill Book, power armor, fuel, and water.

Then the next day, we’ll sell ammunition. See what people want, and adjust the products accordingly.

Then, we’ll sell different kinds of food in different vending machines for a few days.

We can also sell more advanced system equipment instead of acquiring old gear and charge upgrade fees from people."

"Got it!" The old man nodded, scrolling through the vending machine list and seeing the fifth one.

"Oh, by the way, the Americans bought a lot of stuff for free, but that vending machine is still at level 1. I suggest supplying them with Flame Skill Books and ammunition for several days."

"Agreed, but give them a heads-up first, or they’ll sense something’s off, and when are they delivering those vehicles?"

"Tomorrow or the day after; they ran into trouble dealing with the Sea Monster."

"Alright then..."

After dealing with the vending machines, Lin Yi teleported to the World Heart Snake.

He needed to figure out if he could limit the shop functions of the Ark.

Only then could he consider whether to sell those captured Arks to other countries.
