After receiving the resumes from Shu Yu, Chu Guang glanced at them briefly.

Strictly speaking, there was no such thing as a resume in the talent market in Boulder Town, so Chu Guang had instructed Shu Yu to take a photo of the recruited personnel during the interview and note down a brief description of each person.

During the interview, the applicants would be asked, for example, what they did before, what special skills they had, and after completing the transcript, all the information could be compared, which effectively screened out any dishonest interviewees.

To Chu Guang’s surprise, many of them had worked in factories in Boulder Town, and one of the resumes caught his eye.

"... Used to work as a workshop director at Boulder Town Steel Plant… Is the information on these resumes reliable?" Chu Guang frowned.

It would be a shame for such a talent to work in the back office.

Although they would be considered by others in the wasteland to be old since they were already 40, it was not a problem to Chu Guang.

Shu Yu said cautiously, "This... There is no way to verify it. The information on the resume can only be used as a reference. However, I feel that he had a lot of experience in management."

Chu Guang nodded and continued, "Do me a favor, ask him if he’s interested in a position at the steel factory in the northern suburbs. We can triple his salary."

Shu Yu turned serious. "I’ll ask, but according to my observations, these local residents are quite reluctant to leave the safety of the giant walls. Except for those mercenaries who can go wherever they want and the extremely poor, few people are likely to accept field work that might require them to leave Boulder Town."

"It’s okay, just ask, don’t try to force it." Chu Guang paused for a moment, then continued, "In the future, you could go to the talent market in Boulder Town more often. You could go by yourself, send an agent, or simply set up a fixed booth there. Any excess talents that the factories in Boulder Town don’t have work for, we could use them. "

In short, Chu Guang was telling him to just dig around.

Not only talents, but even second-hand, decommissioned equipment. Everything that Boulder Town no longer needed, the northern suburbs would take them all.

That way, Boulder Town’s unemployment rate would plummet, the extremely unbalanced supply and demand of the talent market would be optimized, and the city would also avoid wasting any industrial capacity.

Although he suffered a little loss, Chu Guang felt that the problem was not serious.

After all, it wouldn’t be the spirit of internationalism if there was no self-sacrifice.

Immediately understanding what the administrator meant, Shu Yu said with a knowing smile, "I see, sir."

Chu Guang nodded approvingly. "Mhm, as long as you understand what I mean."

Although looking younger, Chu Guang felt the young man named Shu Yu was unexpectedly capable and saved him a lot of work.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Guang browsed around the official website.

The forum was as lively as ever.

The Mole Squad and Sideline Squad had arrived in Garbage City. They encountered a Multi-legged Beast’s Lair on the way, but fortunately were not in any danger.

More than 20 Multi-legged Beasts were all killed. They harvested the gallbladders and skins, which were the only valuable parts and continued on their way.

The Multi-legged Beasts encounter also gave rise to a brief episode.

Although the caravan guards said that the meat of Multi-legged Beasts was not edible, Irena still roasted a leg out of curiosity.

What happened next proved that things on the wasteland couldn’t be eaten however they liked.

Even with almost 20 points in constitution, he vomited for half an hour while holding on to the tree trunk...

Except for the Mole and Sideline squads, the other players were not idle either, each with their own things to do. Spring Water Commander was doing a mission for the scientific expedition team, helping Yin Fang to collect a lot of valuable information. Garbage was hunting wild monsters in Remote Creek Town, hoping to break through the bottleneck of LV10. 𝘙АNỒ฿ΕS̩

There were also Lifestyle Profession players who were helping Chu Guang design the aqueduct on the north shore of Linghu Lake and the underground drainage system of Longevity Town.

At present, the engineering team led by Sword Execution was engaged in construction works.

Among them, what surprised Chu Guang the most was Make Me, whom he had sent to the north.

After dawdling all the way, the Ratman finally arrived in West Continent City with a group of little rats under his command.

Although many rats had been left behind, it was not a problem for him.

After arriving at the destination, with his extraordinary fists and his shameless special moves, Make Me quickly trounced the local rats so thoroughly that they bowed their heads and worshiped him as the Rat King of the West Continent.

Make Me did not stop after establishing his territory. After getting familiar with the terrain in the southern suburbs of West Continent, he quickly used the small generator he brought, together with the radio station, nurturing cabin, and battery to establish a safe settlement in the southern urban area of West Continent City.

After successfully connecting to the signal tower of the shelter, the map information he got from exploring along the way was also synchronized to the server through the VM.

According to Make Me’s description in the post, the situation there could only be described as desolate and miserable.

The ruins were filled with a lingering stench, and the streets and alleys were full of rats, cockroaches, and hyenas. Corpses were strewn all over the street, or hung on the viaducts and street lamps. Some of them wore slogans insulting the rebels around their necks.

The whole city was like Hell!

Make Me:... The Fang Clan of the Bonechewer Clan have looted everything they could. Except for a few survivors who have organized a rebel army in the entire city, they are the only ones left. Based on how marauders are the type to be satisfied with their last meal without planning the next meal, they should not have persisted this long, but maybe the Army’s think tank played a role, they start forcing some captives to work the farmlands. The captives are told that as long as they could grow food, they would not be eaten, so they are working desperately in the fields.

- I couldn’t bear to take their crops from them, and besides, the shofar potatoes buried in the ground are not tasty at all. So I asked my little brothers to refrain from eating them until we had food in the granary.

- In addition, the city is not completely under the control of the Bonechewer Clan. Although they destroyed all survivor strongholds on the surface, they did not conquer everyone, and some people still survived.

- Those people call themselves the Resistance Army. They hid in sewers and air-raid shelters, fought with guerrilla tactics in the ruins, and caused a lot of trouble for the marauders. Although the Fang Clan sent 2 brigades to hunt them down, the results were ineffective. Their bases are mazes that only they know how to navigate.

- The leader of the Fang Clan seems to be planning to gain a firm foothold in the West Continent City, and then continue to expand south. Meanwhile, I am trying to find a way to contact the local survivors. They are few in number and poorly equipped, but they have a high will to fight. If we could give them a little help, they might be able to keep the trouble in the north at bay for us.

- It’s not difficult to find them, since I have more than a hundred underlings working for me. The only thing that gives me a headache now is... How can I convince them to follow a talking rat? Damn it, why am I a rat! Things would be so much better if I were a cat!

The post filled 3 whole pages on the forum and after Chu Guang read it all, he made a general summary of the information in it.

Although West Continent City fell under the iron heel of the Bonechewer Clan, it was not completely conquered. There were many survivors who were still resisting.

Because West Continent City had accumulated a large amount of plundered loot and slaves, the Fang Clan, who intended to use West Continent City as a base for expanding south, could not leave those resistance organizations alone, and could only allocate a large number of people to deal with them.

This fight would keep them busy for a long time.

Before solving their own troubles, they would not be able to send all their forces to continue going south.

Looking at the sorted-out information, Chu Guang finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The situation in West Continent City had once been completely unknown to him. No one knew when the marauders in the north would invade. They could only analyze the probability that it might be after the autumn harvest.

According to Make Me’s information, Chu Guang could basically confirm that the Bonechewer tribe in the north would not be able to bother him for at least three months.

After sorting out the information in the post, Chu Guang then edited two missions to collect information, and set the receiver as Make Me.

However, Chu Guang did not send the mission immediately, but set a scheduled sending time, which was delayed until the next morning.

It would look a lot less deliberate.

"... It might be a good idea to connect with local survivors and support their resistance movement." Chu Guang touched his chin thoughtfully.

The south side of Shelter 404 was Boulder Town. Since there was too little space to the south, and the situation in Clearspring City was complicated, there was only one direction to expand. He could only go north.

West Continent City was a good choice.

Be it manpower or material resources, there were a lot of reserves there.

The only problem now was that the number of players was still too small. With the gradual expansion, 1,100 players were obviously not enough.

"It would be great if level B4 could be unlocked!"

However, it was the farming period now, and whether it was growing vegetables or moving bricks, people were needed.

Glancing at the clock and realizing that it was getting late, Chu Guang turned off the computer reluctantly, got up, and went back to his room to sleep.

That night, he had a long, long dream.

In the dream, there were many strangers whose faces could not be seen clearly.

“Father, father!”

That was what they called him.

Feeling annoyed by the endless shouting, just when Chu Guang wanted to ask who their mother was, he suddenly woke up from the dream.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt his entire body feeling sticky and Chu Guang immediately guessed what happened.

It was no accident.

He’d leveled up again.

"... That caught me off guard," Chu Guang muttered as he sat up from the bed. He moved his limbs to adjust to his newly-strengthened body.

I feel as strong as before, and my mind seems to work as fast as before, but my reaction speed seems to be faster than before. My vision also seems to have been slightly enhanced.

So this time, I received an agility attribute upgrade?

Just when Chu Guang was recalling what he did the day before, a row of light blue floating windows, which he had not seen in a while, suddenly appeared in front of him.

But the text in the floating window really made him feel what it meant to be caught off guard.

After reading the mission interface from beginning to end, Chu Guang was briefly stunned.

You gotta be kidding me. These missions really know when to appear to ruin my plans…
