Even in the apocalypse, capital and capitalists continued pursuing higher profits.
This included the consortiums that had established their own Private Shelters. They were also paying close attention to this matter.
After all, a shelter capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, along with the population and market it supported, could not compare with an Official Shelter.
As long as the roads remained clear and logistics ran smoothly, the capitalists were not particularly pessimistic.
It was much like the period when early human civilization conquered the oceans.
Back then, there had only been different port powers and nations. Now, those had become shelters, while train transportation was safer and more reliable.
Once they confirmed that the Official Shelter had markets and profits to offer, they would very likely join the great wave of setting up factories there.
