It’s not just Sid who laments the speed of infrastructure construction in front of him.

The assistant beside him, Pine, was in a daze, feeling a little unbelievable about what he saw outside.

Although it is not difficult to build such a road in half a year.

As long as the construction team of Qinggang Shelter receives the task, it can be repaired very quickly.

But the key point is that the shelter they built is a place that they still use the term "primitive people" to ridicule.

This is a bit uncomfortable.

An indescribable feeling appeared in Pine's heart.

It's not about being slapped in the face, nor is it jealousy.

As someone who has witnessed the step-by-step development and reconstruction of Qinggang New City, he always feels that the construction of this Tianyuan territory is more practical than asking homeless people to build houses randomly.

"Yes. We have built so many residences in our new city, but in the end their purpose is just to give homeless people a place to live. There is no economic development at all, and they are still limited to a small area."

Sid's Adam's apple moved and he continued in a slightly unwilling tone.

"I once suggested to Commander Edmund that he send people to sort out a road connecting every shelter in the city, but in the end it failed."

"It's not your fault, my lord."

Pine shook his head and looked through the curtain at Fluttershy Moth who was sitting outside driving the car.

"It's different from us here, isn't it?"

It's really different.

Who would have thought that a place called primitive people would have the means to threaten Sunny Harbor Sanctuary?

Who would have thought that their shelter was not built underground, but on the contrary, developed above ground?

And the manager.

He seems much more reliable than the stubborn old guy from Sunny Harbor Shelter.

Remembering the scene of communicating with the manager, Pine and Sid fell silent at the same time.

In comparison, other members of the mission at the rear did not have so many feelings.

They are only full of novelty about everything they see now!

"I didn't expect that the outside of the city has turned into such a vast plain. It looks really great!"

"It probably took a lot of manpower and material resources to build a straight cement road, right?"

"Look, there are legendary farmlands over there. Oh my god, are their farmlands so big?"

"There is also a small river. Was this created by them?"

When you first entered the territory, you couldn't see much in the wilderness. You could only see the small river that had been recently built by the Fishman Village, and some farmland that had only been built with a foundation.

For people who live in urban agglomerations surrounded by swamps all year round, all this is undoubtedly very new.

Especially as this cement road goes towards the center.

Larger and larger plantations began to appear in the field of vision, not far from both sides of the road.

It's a pity that winter is coming and everything is desolate.

The previous scene where everything was thriving has turned a bit yellowish under the influence of the cooling.

However, these alone are still extremely exaggerated in their impact on people living underground.

As they approached Hope Village, someone suddenly remembered Tang En's instructions before leaving. He hurriedly threw away other thoughts and began to focus on recording everything he saw with his eyes.

Compared with half a year ago, the surrounding area of ​​Hope Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

As the cement road suddenly widened into six roads going in different directions, the vision suddenly opened up.

At the end of the main road, an extremely large building group appeared.

Looking at it at a glance, there are no less than three hundred houses, row upon row, neatly arranged on the ground.

And behind these houses, there are construction sites that can be seen at a glance.

Has the scale here grown to this?

Sid could no longer suppress the shock in his heart and stuck his whole head out of the car window.

Before leaving, he had imagined as much as possible how fast the development here would be, enough to make Tang En, the deputy manager, show a difficult expression.

But seeing it in person now is a completely different feeling.

When I came here before, the area around Hope Village was still a piece of gravel land that had been simply repaired.

It happened to be a heavy rain, so the residents could only struggle to walk back and forth in the mud, and from time to time some people accidentally fell down.

But what now?

Not only was the entire interior of the village hardened with cement, but the surrounding two kilometers were also paved with cement.

It can be clearly seen that the heavy rains for several days have not affected this place, because the drainage channels carved on the ground have already drained all the accumulated water into the surrounding small river!

And the most surprising thing is that these ‘primitive people’ used asphalt extravagantly!

Several black roads extend away from the village and continue to the west.

Where did they get the asphalt?

Where does this road lead?

The look of shock on Sid's face became more intense.

If it weren't for the sign he saw last time hanging on the door at the entrance of the village, he would have suspected that he had never been here before, and that a moth had brought him to a new place.

Is this really Hope Village?

Looking towards the square at the entrance of the village, there should be the market we saw last time.

But now the size of the market has expanded several times, with hundreds of stalls gathered there. The stalls are bustling with people, and there are probably at least a thousand people.

It’s too lively here, and the economy here is too free!

Even in Qinggang New City, there is no open and free trade in a complete sense, and all shops still need to operate under control.

Not to mention underground, the distribution system has been implemented for more than two hundred years.

Everyone will not receive any currency, only three meals a day and daily necessities.

How can the economy prosper if there are no trade goods?

"We're here! Hope Village is ahead!"

Approaching the vehicle parking spot at the entrance of the village, the moth quickly ordered all the lizards to stop.

Two guards who were on patrol saw this and walked over as usual and started to investigate.

"Is it the mission team from Sunny Harbor Sanctuary?"

Checked the procedures.

After confirming that there was no problem, the guards on duty quickly stopped the car and stopped the horse.

In the past, except for vehicles carrying goods that could enter the village, vehicles carrying passengers had to stop here and then enter on foot.

But obviously, the Qinggang Mission is an exception.

As a guest, and as the most powerful refuge in the surrounding city, I still have to give you the respect I can.

Otherwise, people would think that the Tianyuan Territory is a place that likes to make things difficult for people, and it would lose its reputation in vain.

However, what is surprising is that the 'guest' himself walked down first.

"Mr. Wang Yang, can we walk in? I want to take a closer look at the development of Hope Village in the past six months!"

Sid jumped out of the car and pointed to the square road at the entrance of the village.

The other people behind him also seemed to have received the order and filed out of the carriage in an unusually synchronized manner.

Talking about cooperation on this trip is a small matter, but coming to investigate is a big deal.

Compared with sitting on a lizard car and watching the show, there is obviously more to gain from actual face-to-face communication.

"Um, of course."

He exchanged glances with the guard next to him and nodded decisively.

"But I have to remind you. The fare for your arrival, the fare for your return, and the meals during today's visit are all taken care of by the village diplomatic office and have been paid to us in advance. But if you go to the market

You have to pay for the expenses yourself!”

"Of course, we will pay for all expenses!"

Next to him, Pine quickly nodded in affirmation and took out a small piece of gold from his arms, at least fifty grams.

Whether on Earth, on Blue Star, or in the wasteland.

As a precious metal with many uses, gold has always been a stable intermediate transaction.

Even if you go to gathering places that are basically isolated from the outside world, gold still has enough purchasing power.
