Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 127 - 115: Zhoushan Town

Chapter 127: Chapter 115: Zhoushan Town

News that people from the upper-level camp are coming to the East District spread like wildfire to all villages in the East District the very next day.

Everyone was utterly astonished by this.

After several years of the apocalypse, apart from the Shunfeng Travel Group, most people had scarcely heard of anyone from the upper-level camp coming to such remote and impoverished areas.

It’s common knowledge that crossing the wilderness is no easy feat and is hugely thankless.

It’s widely known that resources in the upper wilderness vastly surpass those of lower wilderness areas.

Given this, what purpose do they have crossing the wilderness to come to such village-level wilderness?

Quanzhou Village.

Xu Zhong summoned the members of the Hunting Group, pacing back and forth before them, then suddenly turned with sharp eyes sweeping over them, making them instantly freeze in silence.

“The visit from upper-level camp people might be related to our village’s upgrade!”

The few were taken aback by his words.

“Listen to me carefully!”

Xu Zhong commanded sternly:

“For the next few days, keep everyone in check; unless necessary, no one is allowed to leave the village! The grains we’ve traded from the travel group are enough to last us a few months; not hunting outside for now is totally fine!”

Everyone’s hearts tightened, responding in unison:

“Yes! Leader!”

“Also, no matter who it is, if you see strangers, especially those with unusual charisma, remember to report it and absolutely avoid any conflict!”

“Yes!”

The same situation unfolded in other villages too.

Although they didn’t know why people from the upper-level camp were coming now, connecting it to the emergence of Tier One Mechanism Blueprint, many guessed it might be linked to camp upgrades.

…

Today the trade in Wuyin Village reopened, yet only a few scattered outsiders showed up.

For a moment, the village seemed to return to its usual calm.

Another day passed.

The travel group’s auction for the mechanism blueprint is set for tomorrow.

…

In the evening, Su Lin practiced his blade in the courtyard as usual.

For him, tomorrow is not only the day of the blueprint auction but also the start of his fourth week since crossing over.

Tomorrow at nine, he will receive new entries.

“It’s estimated the mechanism blueprint will be snatched by Quanzhou Village; only the new entries can provide some solace,” Su Lin sighed.

Quanzhou is determined to obtain the blueprint.

Now they’ve acquired half of Zhong Wubin’s assets.

Never before has their financial power been so abundant.

Looking at Wuyin, however.

Though they’ve found ample aromatic wood in Zhang Shuo’s safe house, the construction materials for the smoked meat room are also immensely costly.

But fortunately, the vast quantity of aromatic wood is already prepared, and though other items are pricey, they’re also ready.

In a few days, when Su Lin upgrades to the Level 4 Safe House, he can directly construct the long-awaited smoked meat room.

Simultaneously, the Su Family has begun purchasing materials for upgrading to the Level 5 Safe House in advance.

In addition, compensation for those involved in the Black Scale Village battle is another expense.

Old Master is now in seclusion, consuming treasure meat to unlock the Bone Lock.

Liu Jun’s treasure meat herbal dishes require pricey supplementary materials.

Internally and externally, a substantial amount of money is needed.

The money Su Lin earned from hunting beast meat has long been spent.

Both the village and the Su Family have started experiencing financial shortages.

Since yesterday, he’s been going out with his sister-in-law again to hunt beast meat to supplement household expenses.

As for the blueprint, Wuyin Village has completely abandoned it.

After all, with the Old Master, there’s no rush for the blueprint.

Once the village upgrades, obtaining the Tier One Mechanism Blueprint will no longer be as difficult as now.

Deciding these matters, Su Lin focused on his blade practice.

“Well done, well done, Donor’s mastery of ’Soldier’ is indeed exquisite!”

A praise suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

Su Lin’s pupils shrank abruptly; the voice was surprisingly close!

Turning his head in shock, he found two people beside him, how long have they been there?

One dressed in a Daoist robe, entirely scruffy, with shoulder-length hair, but his appearance was handsome.

Another wearing luxurious attire, holding a bamboo fan; he was equally handsome but sported a shaved head.

These two watched him with amusement.

The atmosphere turned tense.

Su Lin had sweat on his forehead.

Though a Tendon Lock Martial Artist now, he hadn’t realized these two had approached him?!

Su Lin took a deep breath, reversed his grip, and plunged the blade into the wooden post, clasping his fists at them:

“Are you envoys from the upper-level camp?”

“Indeed.”

The scruffy young Daoist with an unusual flair illustrated by a swoop of his long hair, smiled:

“I apologize for startling Donor just now. I am known as Daoist Mengyi; Donor may call me Mengyi.”

Hearing this introduction, Su Lin widened his eyes, stammeringly replied:

“…Meng… what?”

“Mengyi, as in the dream emission,”

The scruffy Daoist explained confidently, with no sense of impropriety, even elaborating which ’Mengyi’ it refers to.

The other, resembling a noble monk with a shaved head, elegantly waved his bamboo fan, and smiled:

“As for me, the dharma name is Dao Guan.”

“…” Su Lin’s eyelids twitched hard.

He felt neither seemed like normal people.

But moments ago, they appeared silently beside him, then commented on his use of ’Soldier,’ substantiating they indeed came from the upper-level camp.

“I am Su Lin, honored by your visit to my humble abode.”

Su Lin gestured inside, “Please, come in.”

The two eccentric men, self-proclaimed Mengyi and Dao Guan, kept smiling as they followed him inside.

Inside, Su Tongxi saw Su Lin bringing these two bizarre individuals in, she was taken aback.

“Brother Kirin, who are these two…?”

“Envoys from the upper-level camp, I’ll entertain them; you go to the kitchen and boil some water.” Su Lin maintained a steady demeanor.

Seeing he wanted to dismiss her, Su Tongxi shrank her body and lowered her head, responded softly:

“Alright.”

Su Lin turned, smiling serenely as he invited the two to sit, observing their reactions.

He noticed when they saw Su Tongxi, their eyes remained clear, and they only subtly glanced at her without showing any greed.

Su Lin felt somewhat relieved.

At least, despite the odd names, they seemed proper.

After they sat on the sofa, Mengyi shook his Daoist robe, smiled and said:

“I believe Donor Su already knows of our origins, hence I’ll speak forthrightly; I represent Zhoushan Town inviting Wuyin to upgrade and join.”

Zhoushan Town!

Su Lin’s heart leapt with excitement.

Without waiting for him to respond, Dao Guan the monk in fine robes tapped his bamboo fan in his palm and said:

“Perhaps Donor Su is unfamiliar with Zhoushan Town; may I offer a brief introduction?”

Su Lin solemnly sat upright and said reverently:

“Then I’ll trouble Master Dao Guan to enlighten me.”

With a snap, Dao Guan opened his bamboo fan, elegantly smiling as he said:

“Then let Donor Su know, Zhoushan Town ranks amongst the top three strongest town-level camps in the wilderness near here!”
