342, October 2, 6:00 AM.
North of the ruins of the G City shelter, a makeshift camp had been erected.
The entire camp was composed of refrigerated truck containers.
These refrigerated truck containers had also been moved from the F City base.
The first batch of people who migrated to G City loaded these refrigerated truck containers onto trucks replicated by Tang Li. After arriving in G City, they were unloaded, forming the current camp.
However, the first group to return to G City was not large, numbering just over 300.
They were all refugees who had previously fled from the G City shelter. Now, they were returning to their hometowns, and felt no discomfort.
Beside the camp were dozens of shipping containers, filled with their living supplies, as well as various building materials for constructing the G City surface base.
These were, naturally, left in G City by Tang Li before she returned to F City.
Tang Li also left behind dozens of wireless brain-controlled robots, wearing masks and cloaked in black robes, operated by individuals who had installed intrusive brain-computer interfaces.
Before their return, they guarded the supplies in the containers.
After their arrival, they drove the trucks that brought the refrigerated containers away.
"Boss Li, you can rest assured leaving this place to us!"
The one speaking was a middle-aged man, known as the "leader" among the first dozen or so people who had fled from the G City shelter to the F City base.
At this time, he was also responsible for managing the first group returning to G City.
Tang Li, meanwhile, maintained the image of a middle-aged strong man as "Boss Li, the Universal Merchant."
"Then I'll have to trouble Captain Liao."
Tang Li responded and instructed him:
"You should expedite the construction of the G City base framework and coordinate with the subsequent arrivals from the F City base. If anything arises, contact the F City base via the quantum communication phone."
After speaking, she left G City with the group of wireless brain-controlled robots wearing masks and cloaked in black robes, driving the empty trucks.
She did not head north, back to the F City base, but rather south, to check out the territory governed by the Sea City Governor's Office.
In both her lives combined, Tang Li had never been to the southern region and was unfamiliar with it.
Moreover, the previous "Apocalypse Mall" had a limited number of trading partners.
It had only radiated the southwestern corner of the eastern region, not exceeding Jiang City to the north, reaching D City to the east, but not as far as cities in the western region.
As for the south, due to prior conflict with G City, it had only extended to G City.
She had not had much contact with the southern region south of G City.
Now that she was in G City, she would inevitably have to deal more with official shelters and survivor bases within the jurisdiction of the Sea City Governor's Office in the future.
Therefore, Tang Li planned to familiarize herself with the environment first.
After traveling a distance from the temporary camp, Tang Li had the operators of the wireless brain-controlled robots log off and recalled the robots and empty trucks into her space.
Then, Tang Li changed out of her middle-aged strong man disguise and resumed her original appearance.
Wearing mechanical exoskeletons, she flew south.
Soon, she arrived at H City in the southern region of Z Country.
From a distance, Tang Li spotted a survivor base.
Tang Li changed out of her mechanical exoskeleton and put on a protective suit.
She then replicated a motorhome from her space and drove it towards this survivor base.
Survivor bases, unlike shelters organized by the authorities, were settlements organized by private citizens.
As more areas descended into chaos, the number of survivor bases increased.
Camps of criminal gangs were also a type of survivor base. However, not all survivor bases were camps of criminal gangs.
There were also settlements formed by people in chaotic areas for self-preservation.
The survivor base before Tang Li was such a human settlement.
