Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 332

Chapter 332: Entrance Fee
But the metal’s concentration these people made usually needed to be tempered first.

After all, the structure was sometimes a bit…

Samuel sighed when he thought about it.

The two of them stopped talking about this after reaching a deal and the one rank 2 space storage scroll was taken by Samuel as an advance payment. Anyway, Riya didn’t really need that much of these weapon’s sets and the first batch was most likely to be scrapped by her experiments.

The waste materials could be handed over to Samuel for reprocessing later.

Hmm, this seemed to be a good idea.

Riya finished the thoughts in her mind and sighed deeply. She had the feeling that she had somehow become supplier to a businessman one way or another.

Not that it was bad, though.

The two of them stood in front of City B Base and lined up.

There were also some other people who had arrived and started lining up. Aside from that, there were also many people who camped outside City B Base.

To be honest, the situation where people camped outside the base was common.

There were also some people like this outside City A Base back then.

But they quickly escaped during the time when the magic beast’ tide happened and hid in various places. After all, to enter the base, they have to register themselves and so on. When the magic beasts rushed in, there were still some people lining up and they were temporarily put inside.

Afterwards, they would be registered one by one.

City A Base’s outer area could accommodate enough people.

But there were still some people who could only stay in tents because the lack of accommodation houses.

City B Base was different.

Their base was smaller and it seemed that they didn’t have enough manpower and materials to build better wall to protect the people inside. Looking at the current situation of these people, Riya had the feeling that they were all unable to support so many people.

These people needed food to eat, place to stay, and many others.

It would not be easy to let so many people live so comfortably in City B Base. Moreover, the safety of these people when they were staying in City B Base was also a part for consideration.

There was no way they would let these people inside if they couldn’t even protect them.

It would be a waste of time.

“So many refugee,” Riya commented.

Last night, she didn’t pay much attention. But right now, she could see that City B Base should not be in a good situation. There were more people than what she thought and none of them were living well.

“This is a normal situation,” Samuel said quietly. He could also tell that the current situation in City B Base was not very good. “Because there are not many powerful people and not enough resources, they could only help limited number of people.”

To be honest, if it was not because of him and his father, it was estimated that City A Base would not be any better.

Because he understood very well that the amount of resources were very limited.

Without enough resources who would dare to let so many refugee come in?

He dared to do it because he’s strong and there was more than enough resources in City A Base. Coupled with the land reclamation that he did, it was estimated that there would be more food produced in a few months’ time.

With Riya’s formation, the food could also be produced faster and it contained mana that was good for their body.

At that time, the food that came from before the earthquake happened would be worthless.

But it was only for him.

Because in many area, the food was still very valuable with many people aiming for it.

“That should be their way of replenishing their supplies for the time being.” Riya pointed to the front.

She could see that these people handed some supplies to the guards who were guarding the base if they wanted to enter. This should be the methods to make sure that the base could still support these people.

But at the same time, this would limit the number of people who entered the base.

Of course, the base would also collect food by themselves. After all, there was military who worked for them and would help to collect enough resources.

“Yes.” Samuel nodded and then smiled faintly. “Why? Do you think that it’s not fair for them to do this?”

“No.” Riya shook her head. “They needed to survive and the base is also a kind of protection against these magic beasts. Without these bases, there’s no way that many of them could survive when these magic beasts arrived.”

This was something that Riya knew very well.

With the increase of strength of these magic beasts, it would be harder and harder to kill these magic beasts.

Unless they have some strength themselves, they would have to rely on the bases to protect them. And this was what most ordinary people have to do.

Only a small number of people dared to live by themselves because they have the ability to do so.

“City A Base should also collect supplies but because we have enough, we changed the method early on,” Samuel said slowly. “They can enter the base and stay for free after registering and verification. But afterwards, they would have to work if they wanted anything.”

It could be said that City A Base was already very kind.

They would not give everything for free.

For those who dared to make trouble in City A Base, they would have long been kicked out of the base.

The people and the soldiers in City A Base was strong enough to do this.

It was also because of this that City A Base seemed to be no different from how cities before earthquake operated.

But this was nothing more than illusion.

Illusion brought by strength.
