After tremblingly registering the information and leaving an attachment to submit to the shelter manager, Roman's slightly dark face was still flushed with excitement.

His excitement could be understood by everyone present.

For these shelters in the city now, the meaning of Tianyuan Shelter is actually equivalent to the former Foundation merchant ship. It is the only way for everyone in this city to live and survive.

Even though it is undeniable that the goods produced by the Foundation are much better than those of Tianyuan Shelter, and there are many more categories.

But are there any choices now?

This is the only choice, and it is the choice they must believe in.

"Captain Mandalay, you are such a good man."

"Thank you so much, Silver Shelter will always remember your help!"

After being sent outside the checkpoint by Mandalay, Roman continued to say thanks, not bearing the slightest regret that he had just been roughly tied up and pressed to the ground.

"Ha, didn't you say that?"

"This is not my help, you deserve it."

Mandalay shook his head, unable to accept this gratitude calmly.

Speaking of which, the other party sent the four members of the Fan family to this checkpoint, which actually brought him an opportunity.

Thinking about it from another angle, if the other party was sent to another checkpoint, wouldn't it be someone else who is happy now?

"I understand, I understand, but thank you, thank you Alliance!"

"Let's go, let's go back quickly."

He waved Roman away.

Looking at the pickup truck leaving, Mandalay's eyes were full of emotion.

The establishment of order cannot be achieved overnight.

There was a time when he was not Roman, and he would bow his head in front of the powerful Sanctuary.

But now, Giant City Sanctuary has joined the Alliance, and he has become a soldier of the Alliance.

The person has not changed, and the strength has not changed, but the platform has changed.

But his status seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

And if you don't realize who gave all this.

For the promotion that may come next, he may also choose some more leisurely and lucrative positions.

But now.

"Alliance. Tianyuan Shelter!"

Looking to the west of the city, Mandalay's eyes were slightly obsessed.

On the other side, the convoy that continued to pass through the Fifth Ring Road also descended from the Gaohuan Ring Road to the main road.

It is different from the previous ruins and mutated plants everywhere.

Since the strange tiger hunt led the National People's Congress to carry out a wave of infrastructure construction, the temperature dropped sharply in winter and destroyed the environment for plant growth. Now the western suburbs finally look a little normal.

The building ruins that were once piled wantonly on both sides of the road have now been brought back to the shelter in batches by Tianyuan's scavenging team, and processed twice into excellent infrastructure materials.

The potholed main road has also been filled with soil and auxiliary materials, eliminating those scary potholes, allowing vehicles to drive on it unimpeded.

There are different buildings on both sides of the road.

Compared with the monotonous high-rise buildings in the city center, the architectural styles in the western suburbs are extremely rich.

There are four or five-story small foreign-style buildings that look like they are in decline, and there are also complete bungalows with only the first floor facade left.

There are some single-family square factory buildings, as well as the iconic Triumph Twin Buildings.

Previously, because the alliance had not completely brought the western suburbs under its control, scavengers came here to explore during the day and had to return quickly when it was getting dark to avoid danger.

Now, with the further improvement of the defense line in the western suburbs, this building complex has been brought into the protection range.

Tianyuan Territory has also issued different policies accordingly, further clarifying the scope of activities of scavengers.

First of all, there are development rights and overnight rights.

As long as these ownerless buildings are approved, scavenging teams of all sizes can transform them into temporary settlements in Qinggang City for transit and rest during daily exploration.

Even if the renovation can pass the review, you can even have permission to stay overnight.

Secondly, it is the clarification of the "three guarantees" policy.

If each team wants to turn the temporary station into a long-term station or a permanent station, they must actively cooperate and participate in the reconstruction process of the western suburbs.

Starting from the stagnation point itself, then moving to the neighborhoods near the stagnation point and the environment surrounding the stagnation point.

There is a clear contribution value to measure the contribution of each scavenger team, and different benefits can be unlocked when reaching the specified value.

At this time, it was close to noon, and there were many teams of scavengers operating near the western suburbs, and some old residents of the territory were staying here to do business.

Either set up a big pot to cook at the door, set up a stall to trade items, or provide various unique services.

There was a lot of traffic, at first glance there were at least several hundred people.

Most of them are residents from Pingtan and Jucheng.

For these people, although residents in the alliance can apply for an unlimited number of times to go behind the security wall, or to the outpost, or to the Hope Village further back.

But every time I go there, I have to pay a real amount of fares and customs clearance fees.

A round trip costs five iron coins, plus one iron coin for the security wall clearance fee.

A full six iron coins.

This is enough for them to eat and drink at the small market in the western suburbs.

So after thinking about it for a while, most people finally returned their attention to this temporary small market in the western suburbs after seeing the world behind the security wall.

“It’s so lively!”

Fan Jing and Fan Han were lying next to the window of the command vehicle, looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going in the market in the distance, and they suddenly felt fascinated.

Although similar trade fairs are occasionally held in the Taihu territory, most people just go there to join in the fun, and no one is willing to trade food.

But this small market is different.

The few food stalls that were set up were all filled with people, and as soon as a seat became available, others filled it.

Bowl after bowl of hot food was brought out, and the air was filled with the aroma of the food.

There is also a lot of traffic in front of the nearby stalls.

Some sell weird gadgets, and some sell handmade cold weapons.

Some sell ceramic products of different shapes, and others sell various styles of clothing.

Although most people in front of the stall are just looking at it, the transaction volume will inevitably increase as more people visit.

Driven by consumption, naturally some people also follow impulse consumption.

And the most surprising thing is that there are actually Blue Star people working in this small market.

Although it was just a simple barber stall, washing the hair of customers who came.

But such a degree of integration has almost broken the stereotype of Blue Star people on the world channel.

"Is this the territory?"

Fan Fuzheng was also a little shocked, looking at the scene outside the car window and saying in shock.

Thinking about it carefully, he had only seen such a lively scene at the inn along the coastline.

However, the reason why the inn is so lively is only because of the huge flow of people.

The coming and going of people naturally leads to the prosperity of transactions.

Once the migration of survivors in the deep sea ends, the station will quickly become deserted and become like the Taihu Territory.

In comparison, this small market is completely different.

There is obviously not as much traffic here as the inn, but it still forms a sizable market.

This directly proves that the bottom layer of the business model here has been formed.

In other words, people here have gotten rid of basic survival needs and have begun to have more needs other than survival!

"Master Fan is joking, how can this be a territory?"

In the spacious command vehicle, Wang Qian shook the hot water cup in his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a temporary camp set up by a group of restless little guys to do business for ordinary people in the two nearby shelters."

"And because infrastructure construction cannot be carried out in winter, they can still continue to do business. When we build the road between the western suburbs of the city and the territory, the industry and trading center will naturally move there.

I can’t continue to do business here.”

"Isn't this a territory?"

Fan Fuzheng was stunned, and suddenly felt that what Wang Qian just said contained a lot of information.

In such a lively market, even if the number of people in Taihu Territory were to increase tenfold, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible.
