Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 452 The Forces Capturing Children, Blood Cave City!

"It is indeed a bit expensive! But... it's really delicious! The flavor is more intense and sweeter than fresh oranges, and it's juicy and has a rich texture." Xue Qingcheng scooped up some fruit and put it in her mouth to taste, a happy smile on her face.

Moreover, these canned fruits are all freshly made, and the taste is even purer.

"Hey, why are there so many people queuing up there? Another new store?"

The two strolled along the street and unknowingly ate half a can of food.

As we walked to the middle of the commercial street, we saw that another new store had opened.

However, a large crowd had gathered at the store entrance, making it extremely crowded.

"A bicycle shop?" Soha stared at the shop sign above his head and read it out unconsciously.

Then, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Qingcheng, look! It's a bicycle shop! The picture on the sign is exactly the same as the bicycles we've seen before. That's great!"

"Yes! That's great!" Xue Qingcheng's eyes were also full of surprise.

Previously, the two sisters had thought that bicycles, such high-tech equipment, should be exclusively available in the inner city.

It's impossible to sell it now, but...

They spotted a bicycle shop on the commercial street.

Thinking of this, the two women quickly ran over.

"One by one! First come, first served! There are only one hundred spots available for now!"

At this moment, a group of employees are maintaining order in the bicycle shop.

Dozens of guests held crystal coins and frantically reached out, trying to hand them to the staff. However, because there were dozens of people crowded around, everyone was doing the same thing.

Therefore, the staff did not rush to pick them up, but asked everyone to line up first.

"But... it seems we can't get it yet! We'll have to wait a few days!"

Xue Qingcheng listened carefully at the door for a while, then shook her head with a wry smile.

These bicycles cost 5000 Dragon Coins each, which is very cheap.

However, according to the staff, there is currently no stock available.

You have to pay in advance and place your order, otherwise you won't be able to buy it at all!

"Never mind, order now! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

After some discussion, Xue Qingcheng and the other two women had no choice but to join the queue and pay to place their orders.

In the evening, the red-haired girl returned to the city lord's mansion, bringing back the day's sales report.

"Brother, your marketing strategy is truly amazing!" Honglian exclaimed.

Bicycles can be purchased by people from Longcheng for only 1,000 yuan.

But... the retail price is 5000 yuan!

As a result, once an advertisement was posted, hundreds of people flocked to it!

I haven't even seen the goods yet, and I've already received hundreds of thousands!

Because of this bicycle shop, today's turnover has exceeded one million again!

"Well, things are valued for their rarity," Xiao Yu said with a nonchalant smile, unconcerned.

In his previous life, he was just an employee and didn't know much about doing business.

However, I couldn't resist being tricked into spending money by various advertisements and marketing strategies every day.

Having been tricked so many times and paid so much in tuition fees, one inevitably picks up some of the bad habits from what one sees and hears.

If these strategies had been applied to Earth in the past, most people would have developed antibodies.

However, if any one of these elements were moved to the wasteland era, it would leave the people of that era utterly defenseless.

"Lord City Lord..."

Before dinner, the three beast-eared girls returned. The rabbit-eared girl said, "We found out that on the way to the Mechanical City, we will pass through a place called Blood Cave City. It is about the same size as Divine Weapon City and I heard that there are tens of thousands of people there. Should we stop for a few days?"

"Blood Cave City? Just hearing that name, I know something's not right!" Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow.

“Yes!” The rabbit-eared girl thought of the rumors she had heard and said with a murderous glint in her eyes, “I heard that the people in this city are capturing children everywhere and seem to be doing something inhumane.”

"The forces that arrest children?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions slightly.

Especially the two women, June and Seven Killings.

After all... when they were young, they were captured and taken to the temple, where they suffered inhuman torture.

Therefore, upon hearing that Blood Cave City was capturing children, they immediately revealed murderous intent in their eyes.

“You can stay there for a few days,” Xiao Yu said calmly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

If it is truly a bloody and cruel force, he wouldn't mind eliminating it along the way.

Moreover, the 200 million energy points I earned in the City of Ruins are almost all gone.

During this period, while traveling, it consumes 150 million energy points every day.

Now, Xiao Yu was really strapped for cash, so since there was a city, he naturally had to stop.

This way, the earth dragon turtle can rest and eat less, while also earning more energy stones.

"What's so special about that city?" Xiao Yu asked casually.

In the wasteland, every powerful force that grows to prominence has its own unique characteristics.

For example, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is inhabited by orcs, who are already very powerful and very united.

The Ghost Lantern Castle has a large water source, enough to feed millions of people!

The City of Ruins has a teleportation array, a good geographical location, and an entrance to an ancient ruin.

There's nothing there, so it's impossible to attract people to make transactions.

Without people engaging in trade, there is no exchange of large amounts of resources.

Such a city is a lifeless, dead city.

"It is said that..."

Catwoman, recalling the information she had overheard at the gourmet restaurant, said, "It seems to have a close relationship with the Mechanized City. Perhaps... we can find out more about the Mechanized City there."

"Well done, that's good news." Xiao Yu smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Dinner's ready!" A clear voice rang out.

The blue-haired girl brought out plates of delicious dishes and invited everyone to sit down and eat.

Wow, is tonight's dinner going to be so lavish again? More than 20 dishes!

"Hehe! Same old rules! All my brother-in-law's favorite dishes..."

Although the women had eaten there many times, they still drooled every time they saw the table piled high with food. They would quickly wash their hands, sit down at the table, and wait for Xiao Yu to start eating.

"Let's get started!" Seeing the expectant expressions on the women's faces, Xiao Yu smiled knowingly.

He was the first to pick up a piece of scrambled eggs with chili peppers, and the women immediately started eating.

"Mmm, so delicious! I wish I could eat Xinglan's cooking forever!"

After dinner, Slime stayed behind to clean up, while Xiao Yu and the women took a walk in the yard.

Although most of the city lord's mansion is shrouded in glowing trees.

But because the glow-in-the-dark tree is always glowing.

Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion has always been like a dream palace, mysterious and beautiful.

"Are there any problems that need to be solved in each department recently?" Xiao Yu asked casually as he strolled along.

His daily life now revolves around finding ways to earn energy stones and increase his strength.

Then, it's like a company chairman's office, where he goes to inspect his own company and workshop every day.

If a problem is discovered, I find a way to deal with it, and every day is very fulfilling.
