Chapter 338: Chapter 143 The Qualities of a Revolutionary

As a satellite town of the city, Chromium Carbon Town’s urban area is quite different from Starfire Town, with a larger land area and more planned architectural layout.

The inner city, surrounded by White Wall, is the center, with eight main roads radiating in a radial pattern.

The town has three ring roads, located inside and outside the White Wall, and in the middle of the outer city.

The buildings on both sides of the streets are also completely different from the ramshackle slums of Starfire Town, being uniformly built as two or three-story alloy-structured small buildings.

The surfaces of these small buildings are uniformly painted with light blue roofs and light brown walls, looking neat and clean.

Additionally, Chromium Carbon Town’s Town Government Tower is not constructed in the town center but at the border between the White Wall and the outer city.

The architectural style of the tower is also slightly different, with a consistent upper part but a lower section that is an eight-story circular office building.

The population base here is larger, the industrial structure more complex, and naturally, the town government’s functions are more comprehensive, with more departments and thus a higher number of related staff.

Beneath the Town Government Tower, there are eight windowless alloy buildings shaped like hemispherical fortresses.

On the wrist watch map, these eight alloy buildings are marked as the concentrated sleep pods where the wanderers of Chromium Carbon Town gather to rest at night.

Inside, there are various configurations, including single rooms, double rooms, four-person rooms, five-person rooms, and eight-person rooms.

The eight-person rooms can be occupied for free, while the charges for other rooms vary.

Within the eight fortress buildings, there are as many as 150,000 beds.

Starfire Town’s entertainment industry is known as a distinctive feature, famous both far and wide within Liao Yuan County and Chongyi County, but in a sense, this is because other industries in Starfire Town are overly declining, making the entertainment industry stand out like a crane among chickens.

As a new shareholder of Long Sleep, Ren Zhong personally feels it is not that impressive.

Unlike Starfire Town, which barely has one high-class Long Sleep establishment, Chromium Carbon Town has numerous hotels, inns, restaurants, bars, and such venues.

Though it is off-work hours now, with only dim streetlights turned down and AI-guided indicator lights softly flickering, Ren Zhong still saw many signs for inns with "unmanned, self-check-in" signage along the way.

Just by reading this simple information, without requiring a guide’s introduction, Ren Zhong discerned a lot by himself.

The quality of life for the wastelanders here is better; it’s fair to say they live and work in peace and contentment.

Given that wastelanders have no authority to purchase family planning products, driven by deliberately heightened desires, without a doubt, the birth rate of wastelanders in Chromium Carbon Town must be a notch higher than the already high rate in Starfire Town.

Yet this town can sustain so many people even without considering census matters.

In its small over ten-thousand-square-kilometer area, there is a large chromium-carbon mine, along with the economic radiation of the urban economic zone, and six hunting grounds with output and quality surpassing abandoned mines.

The Ruined Beasts in these "sanctuaries" are stronger, more active, and catalyze at a higher frequency — an inexhaustible supply within a short term.

Furthermore, there are dozens of small and medium Ruined Beast hunting grounds in the town.

The distribution of Ruined Beasts in these hunting grounds is very regular; those marked as 1-2 level places will never have third levels, and those marked as 2-3 levels will never have first or fourth levels.

The Ruined Beast output of Chromium Carbon Town, which occupies only one-fifth of Starfire Town, is equivalent to eight Starfire Towns.

In such a "superior" external environment, combined with Chromium Carbon Town’s short 20-year history, Ren Zhong peculiarly felt the "technology progression ladder feel" on Source Star.

However, according to the basic information provided by Yang Bingzhong, despite such favorable external conditions and excellent material conditions in the town, the mortality rate in Chromium Carbon Town is not low.

The intensity, density, and suddenness of night Ruined Beast attacks here are much higher.

Almost every night, the seemingly invincible hemispherical fortresses get rooms broken into.

Even during the day, some Ruined Beasts in the hunting grounds would group together and charge into the wastelander-populated areas in the small town, causing casualties and damage to buildings, though the modular alloy structures are quickly repaired, often returning to their original state within half an hour of damage, hence the neat appearance.

At 11:37 PM, Ren Zhong, Zheng Tian’s squad, and Tang Shuying bid farewell to others at an intersection.

Zheng Tian and others will accompany Ren Zhong, the citizen, into the White Wall.

There, a newly completed two-story villa with the Fourth Generation Iron Curtain System is waiting for them.
