Although Wu Feng and his gang at Qilin Villa made quite a commotion, it was only within the community and at most could be counted as a former Jinyang base. Compared with the major forces outside who were all expanding their power, it was really a dwarf compared to a giant.
The major forces were originally constrained by the lack of sufficient high-end combat power on hand, and now the national awakening has made things very convenient for them.
With so many experts emerging, it’s hard to pick and choose.
But the more they pick and choose, the number of people under their command is increasing exponentially.
What follows is dissatisfaction with the current territory.
Having more manpower is a good thing, but to feed so many people, we need a larger territory.
As time goes by, the entire Qing City is like a firecracker sitting on the crater of a volcano. It may accidentally go off at any time, causing unprecedented chaos.
Fortunately, the strength of the official base is also increasing, and the prestige accumulated before the end of the world is still there. For the time being, the leaders of the big and small forces did not dare to act rashly.
But even so, small-scale and small-scale conflicts still occur every day.
As for those ordinary people with special abilities who are not favored by the major forces, or some old, weak and disabled people, due to the pressure of livelihood, they can only turn their attention to the various strange beasts that suddenly appeared.
Thanks to the continued rise in temperature, the ice accumulated inside and outside the city has continued to melt, and those animals that disappeared in the extreme cold weather have begun to show up.
But things are different now. The animals we fight today, no matter how weak they were in the past, such as a rabbit or a mouse, are not easily dealt with by ordinary people.
But the reason why humans are called the most intelligent creatures in the world is that they can not only use tools, but also unite and fight together.
Moreover, when people are extremely hungry, they will instinctively burst out with fighting power far beyond their previous level.
In this way, small teams of survivors continued to spread out to the outskirts of the city to hunt those strange beasts in exchange for their chance to survive.
As more and more exotic beasts were hunted, people were surprised to find that eating the meat of exotic beasts made them feel fuller more easily than eating ordinary food, and it could also slightly improve their own strength.
The most important thing is that there is a crystal core in the head of every strange beast. This crystal core can be refined and absorbed by the psychics and become nutrients to enhance their own strength.
Now, people's enthusiasm for killing strange beasts became even higher.
This strange beast is truly a treasure all over. Its fur can keep you warm, its flesh and blood are rare delicacies, its teeth and bones can be used to make weapons, and it can also be used to obtain crystal cores that can directly increase your strength. The more the better.
In order to facilitate the hunting of exotic beasts, more and more survivors chose to station on the outskirts of the city. There were also many forces that were quick to seize the opportunity and began to extend their tentacles to the original marginal areas here.
Of course, this doesn't mean that there are no people in the city center.
Those formerly prosperous areas gradually became a paradise for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and some timid and lazy people.
As the ice melted day by day, the buildings originally buried under the ice gradually emerged, and the supplies inside became the target of these people.
Whether it is food, drinks or daily necessities, people take them home in large and small bags every day.
These things will be kept for food and drink, and those that are not temporarily needed will be taken to the controllers of various settlements, or taken to the market in the official base to exchange for life-saving supplies.
Sometimes the major forces would exchange their excess supplies, taking some temporarily useless items in exchange for some necessities.
The increasing frequency of transactions also gave rise to a new pricing system, and crystal cores gradually began to become hard currency.
The Chinese people's deep love for gold has also brought this ancient currency back onto the historical stage.
This greatly facilitated Sun Guangjun's collection of gold and jade. He had endless supplies in his hands and could easily take out a large amount of supplies and sell them to those forces, big or small, in need.
During this period, the store opened by Qilin Villa in the official base market has ushered in a wave of rapid development. With the help of this, the reputation of Qilin Villa has gradually become known among all the forces, big and small, in Qing City.
The supplies in Sun Guangjun's Mountain and River Ring, especially those obtained from Neon and some collected after the outbreak of the apocalypse, slowly began to circulate through this shop.
To be honest, if Sun Guangjun hadn't been continuously sending out supplies, it would be impossible to feed all the survivors with what these psychics have collected, even with the increasing number of exotic beasts.
The large outflow of supplies did not reduce the quality of life of Sun Guangjun and his colleagues in the slightest.
In fact, except for those materials that are of truly excellent quality, the food Sun Guangjun and his team eat has long been replaced with products from the farm on the third floor of Shanhe Ring.
The three-story farm is amazing. It operates almost automatically. All the planting, breeding and harvesting processes can be completed through consciousness. Sun Guangjun only needs to take a walk here from time to time and think about it.
As for the American soldiers and Japanese soldiers who were taken in when Japan took over those warships, as well as Rhodes's men, they were now like zombies, working tirelessly in the third-floor farm.
Since entering the farm, these people have become absolute puppets. Except for three meals a day, they work hard without sleep all the time. Even if Sun Guangjun sometimes forgets to come in to operate the farm's production, these people can take over temporarily.
With these puppets, the characteristics of the farm itself, and the ten times faster flow of time, the output of the farm has been continuously accumulating.
It is no exaggeration to say that based on the production speed of the farm alone, Sun Guangjun is more than enough to feed ten Qing cities.
The most important thing is that, thanks to the abundant spiritual energy in the Mountain and River Ring, the grains, fruits, vegetables, and meat produced on the farm are of much higher quality than those that Sun Guangjun had looted.
Since there are good things, Sun Guangjun certainly won't treat his mouth and body badly. He replaced the farm crops for the whole family early on. Only some things that are not available on the farm, are quite rare, and have guaranteed quality will be served on their family's table.
Let's put it this way. If the quality of life of Sun Guangjun's family were made public, everyone would be extremely skeptical. Is this still the end of the world? Are we in the same time and space?
Sun Guangjun doesn't care about these things. No matter how bad the conditions outside are, he just wants to live comfortably first. This is the right thing to do.
At this moment, he was in Villa No. 1, looking at the several boxes of crystal cores in front of him, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling!
