Chapter 89 [VIP]
The man who spoke was originally a forest ranger. After the apocalypse, the ranger remained a ranger. But instead of being a protector, he became the protected.
That's right, Xiao Zhao, the forest ranger, has been protected by mutated plants since the apocalypse. It's still the same today.
Look at this spider! "Xiao Zhao held up his helmet, on which hung an orb-weaving spider weaving a web. "The spider web in the cracks has been re-stretched, and it's even stronger than before when the weather was hot."
Everyone gathered around to watch. The spider silk shone silver in the setting sun, like some kind of sophisticated natural sensor.
"I thought it was cold and the spider lady had already gone into hibernation, but I didn't expect she'd still be weaving a web, and it's so beautiful."
"This net is so beautifully woven, and it feels quite resilient," Fu Chun exclaimed.
Spider Lady is a nickname for orb-weaving spiders. They're not very large, about the size of a fist, and their mutations, besides their size, are in their silk.
After the spider silk mutated, it became incredibly resilient. In City B, they raise spider ladies and use their silk to weave cloth.
It was highly praised for its warmth in winter and coolness in summer, as well as its lightness. Unfortunately, after the apocalypse, roads were cut off, and the connections between cities were no longer strong. As a result, spider silk cloth, while popular in City B, could not be circulated. Fu Chun relied on his special abilities to travel in the extreme cold, and he also had the Taoyuan base upgraded to the maximum level, allowing him to spend 10 million Starlight Coins to build an expressway connecting the two places.
Similar to a tunnel, but in the air. It can be on the ground or in the air. In this kind of awful weather, coupled with the ground fissures, even if the ground fissures have stabilized, walking on the ground is still not safe. So, after buying the station blueprints, it's best to build an aerial tunnel and walk in mid-air.
"With the post station, our two bases will be able to connect more closely." Fu Chun said seriously: "Supplies between the two bases can be exchanged. You can go to our base to buy what you need, and we can also go to your base to buy things."
"10 million of those Starlight Coins is too expensive!"
"Is it expensive?" Fu Chun didn't think so. He added, "We don't need cash. We can use basic supplies. Even the industrial and construction waste dug out from the ruins can be converted into Starlight Coins. Is this considered expensive?"
"No," Fu Chun said again. "Think about it carefully. My caravan only has one day to stay. If you don't want to buy it, I'll have to go to another base tomorrow."
"I'll buy it, of course," Xiao Zhao said. "Uncle, I think Fu Chun is right. We're in need of everything at our base, and it would be great to be able to go to Taoyuan Base and buy things freely."
Uncle Zhao was speechless for a long while before he said, "Is this what I'm worried about?"
"Then what are you so anxious about? Are you worried that the people in the base don't want to come back after going to Taoyuan Base?" Xiao Zhao said again, poking Uncle Zhao's lung tube.
"Isn't this a matter of course? Not only them, but also me, if I can live a peaceful life in a doomsday environment, I would also find a way to go."
Uncle Zhao: “…”
"I can't tell you." Uncle Zhao muttered, but he didn't refuse to buy the post station blueprint.
I bought the Posthouse blueprint during a limited-time midnight flash sale when the Taoyuan base was fully upgraded. It's currently priced at 10 million, down from an original price of 1 billion.
It's quite expensive, Mingzhu feels bad about it, plus a copy also costs 1 million Starlight Coins, so the standard selling price is 10 million Starlight Coins, which is definitely not a small amount, but it can be sold more.
Fu Chun now said frankly that the price he offered had already been discounted, and if L wanted a lower price, Fu Chun had no say in the matter.
"Lao Zhao, you won't regret buying this. If you don't believe me, try it later."
"...How do I use the blueprints? Or are they like the ice room blueprints? I just tear them up and a cat engineering team will help me build it?"
"You know that, don't you?" Fu Chun smiled, accepted the supplies worth 10 million Starlight Coins with peace of mind, and handed the post station blueprint to Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao originally wanted to use it immediately, but Fu Chun reminded him to find a suitable location before tearing up the blueprint of the post station, otherwise the place would be too small and it would be inconvenient to go back and forth.
Uncle Zhao did as he was told. He found an open space with many paths leading in all directions and tore up the blueprint for the post station. Almost instantly, a large group of cats of various colors and sizes appeared.
Without exception, all the cats were carrying various construction tools in their hands, and two cats were carrying cement together.
Oh, and at the end, there were a few Maine Coon cats passing by with bamboo poles carrying something that looked like an electric wire, and they were making a lot of noises.
Eight hours later, the station was successfully built. Miraculously, the moment it was completed, a light screen appeared above the station, saying "Please set the name of the base to go to and add the coordinates."
Uncle Zhao thought this scene was too fantastical, and it took L a while to come back to his senses.
”
"Yes, just choose directly. Now, in addition to the Taoyuan base, there is also the A City base that can be connected."
"What happens after the link?"
"After connecting, travel via the flying dragon horse." Fu Chun brought 10 flying dragons, 100 carriages, and optional flight mode.
"Can carriages fly?"
"Looking at Uncle Zhao, he added, 'Have you ever heard of a Pegasus with wings?'"
Uncle Zhao: "...It's really hard to imagine."
"Yeah, it's hard to believe," Xiao Zhao said quickly. "Look, I've always wondered if Taoyuan Base was a place for cultivating immortals, and now it's finally confirmed. It turns out Taoyuan Base really is a place for cultivating immortals."
"Uncle, I can lead the team." Xiao Zhao began to earnestly say that there must be a lot of things we need. If we can buy them back as soon as possible, I believe that in this extremely cold weather, we can
During the discussion, Uncle Zhao was unable to persuade Xiao Zhao. Fu Chun then led the team away, and Xiao Zhao and the other people from the B City base boarded the Flying Dragon Trojan Horse via the post station and headed to Taoyuan Base.
The function of the post station, besides connecting the two bases, was also to provide protection. This meant that any attack, even a catastrophic-level one, would be ineffective while traveling along the 'light path' opened by the post station.
This is actually what Mingzhu values, and is one of the reasons why it is being strongly promoted by the Taoyuan base's outbound caravans.
To quickly connect the world through post stations, they even offered interest-bearing loans to outbound caravans if a certain base ran out of money to pay. After Xiao Zhao and his companions arrived at Taoyuan Base and stayed there for a few days, the post station map quickly expanded to cover bases across most of the country.
