Doom: Start with a tech panel

Chapter 243

The most mainstream forces on the wasteland are naturally shelters one after another, just like the old city-states.

But mainstream does not mean exclusive.

It is now the 380th year of the Wasteland Era, hundreds of years have passed since the first calamity year.

The beginning of the Wasteland Period is not actually counted from the first year of disasters. Between the Wasteland Period and the old era, there is actually a transitional period called the 'Disorder Era'.

Even from the name, I know what kind of time it was.

It wasn't until the order in the wasteland gradually stabilized that a group of people finally decided to start a new era and bid farewell to the past.

This is also the opportunity for the birth of the Wasteland Period.

Therefore, today's wasteland has actually undergone hundreds of years of evolution, and it is naturally impossible for there to be only shelters.

All kinds of intricate forces are difficult to count.

However, in addition to these complicated forces, there are some people who are actually outside the various forces.

For example, pioneers, some people like to call them adventurers.

No more predators!
It is true that even today, the Wasteland Period is still a very chaotic era, far less orderly than the old era.

It's not as chaotic as the chaotic era.

If I had to describe it, it is more like a middle ground between order and disorder.

Its orderliness is reflected in the tacit understanding within and among the various forces, as well as the fear of not wanting to start a war lightly.

After all, the wasteland is dangerous.

This is not a joke.

Don't talk about low-level shelters, even the shelters that are bigger than [Tianhan Shelter], there are examples of ruins!
In this era when survival is difficult, why kill each other if it is not necessary?
It is these kinds of external factors that have formed the seemingly disordered, but actually orderly era.

However, even in the old era when the order was more distinct, there were terrorists who always wanted to subvert the order.

How can Wasteland be an exception?

Predator, exactly such a role.

They don't care about tacit understanding at all, and they never put order in their eyes.

In their eyes, only resources.

Even human beings themselves are just a resource in their eyes.

They don't care about sustainable development.

They loot - everything that can be looted.

They are the most notorious group in the wasteland.

This is why, even the old gun who had been a killer, and the old fox with blood on his hands, frowned involuntarily when they heard the name of the predator.

Are Lao Qiang and Lao Hu good guys?
Of course it doesn't count.

There are not many purely good people in the wasteland, because the good people defined in the old era cannot survive in this era.

Including He Dahai, he definitely has nothing to do with good people.

But at least they are human.

Predators may not count.

As He Dahai just mentioned, the E-class shelter was attacked by looters, which itself is not unusual.

In order to compete for resources between shelters, it is normal for you to die and forget.

Some large-scale refuges may even have feuds with each other, and it is not surprising to go back one-two generations.

But there is always a reason for this kind of struggle.

Or for profit, or for hatred.

Thick, even if one side wins, it is more likely to annex the other side.

If you do it too much, you will bloodbath the opponent's former high-level, so as not to leave the opponent with a chance to comeback.

But that's it.

To put it bluntly, this kind of struggle still has a bottom line.

But the situation He Dahai just mentioned is obviously different.

Not only was the E-grade shelter attacked and plundered, but the entire shelter was slaughtered from top to bottom!
Women, young and old, no one left behind!
Crude, not because of any blood feud, but because the predators felt that these people were not worth taking away.

Without value, there is no need to exist.

This is the logic of predators.

In the wasteland, as long as the bottom line is still alive, it is impossible to have the slightest affection for the predators.

But if you don't like it, you don't like it, but there is nothing you can do.

Because the Predator is not a force, it is a collective term for a group.

They may form groups, but they are never on the same side, or even enemies with each other.

In addition, those who can be predators are not good, otherwise they would have been swallowed up by other predators.

Who can do with this group of eggs?
Small powers can't afford to mess with them.

The big forces can provoke them, but they are afraid that they will not die if they hit the snake, and they will be on the stick, and if they fail to clean up their hands, it will be very troublesome.

For various reasons, the predators are still active in the wasteland.

The area where [Profile Refuge] is located has not had any active predators for some years.

The last time it appeared was seven or eight years ago.

The raider group that time was not very lucky. During the plundering process, they accidentally killed a layer of [Profile Refuge], which directly annoyed [Profile Refuge].

In the end, that group of marauders was hunted down by the reverse containment—mostly, with only a handful escaping.

For a long time after that, there were no Marauders in this area.

Bi Jing, they just have no bottom line, not brains.

"You mean, you're really not afraid of another reward from Tianhan?" Old Gun frowned.

The reward order mentioned by Lao Qiang is a reward issued to all the shelters under the jurisdiction of [Tianhan Shelter] after it was pissed off last time, and almost all the shelters above E level have been mobilized

After getting up, most of the predator group was besieged and killed.

Otherwise, although [Tianhan Refuge] is strong, its number is limited, so it is impossible to contain those predators.

Hearing this, the old fox shook his head and said: "Tianhan's side is not a philanthropic hall, the reason why the reward order was issued last time is also because the high-level people were killed, otherwise they would not care about the predators at all.

"After all, there is no reason, and no group of predators will be bored enough to take the initiative to provoke a giant like Tianhan."

"With the behavior style of those predators, after a few votes in one place, they will definitely be transferred quickly. Even if Tianhan doesn't intervene, they will leave eventually, won't they?"

If the words of the old fox are heard by those who have been killed by the predators, they will undoubtedly feel very cruel.

But neither Lao Qiang nor He Dahai, upon hearing this, did not express any different opinions. Instead, they nodded slightly subconsciously, obviously agreeing with Lao Hu's statement.

Because this is reality.

Cruel but true!
Although to some extent, all the refuges in this area are under the jurisdiction of [Profile Refuge].

But this has never been required by [Profile Refuge], and it can even be said that these shelters need [Profile Refuge] to provide some shelter when major disasters strike.

Although the profile for shelter] and no such obligations.

Moreover, [Tianhan Refuge] did not pay attention to the life and death of some low-level refuges under its jurisdiction.

The abolition is so great that new forces are born every day, and old forces are destroyed every day.

It is really difficult for [Tianhan Shelter] to make any big moves just by destroying a few low-level shelters.

Because it really doesn't matter.You must know that the last time the [Tianhan Refuge] issued a reward price to kill that plundering group, it was far higher than the sum of the low-level refuges that were raided by the plunderers.

If measured purely by value, [Tianhan Shelter] meddling in this kind of nosy business must not be worth the candle.

If the fire hadn't directly reached the [Tianhan Refuge], there is a high probability that the predator group would be able to escape unscathed.

In fact, before that, this area had not been visited by looters, and [Profile Refuge] had never been in charge.

One is that he doesn't care, and the other is that he is afraid of trouble.

It was taken care of last time, but it was a special case.

But that happened for a reason.

So, what about this time?
Will the predators this time be as careless as the predator group last time, and take the initiative to provoke [Profile Sanctuary]?
In all fairness, probably not.

Even if it wasn't a group of people, there should be an intelligence circle among the predators, and they might not know anything about what happened last time.

The Marauders are cruel, but they are also extremely cunning, otherwise they would not be able to thrive in the wasteland - always active.

"As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke Tianhan, according to Tianhan's long-term behavior, they probably don't bother to pay attention to these bugs." The old fox gave his final conclusion.

Lao Qiang sighed and said nothing.

Obviously, he also agreed with the old fox's analysis.

"I don't think so.

He Dahai squinted his eyes slightly and took a puff of his pipe, puffing and saying, "Under normal circumstances, your analysis just now must be correct.
