Chapter 930 The disappeared seaport, new opportunities!
“You mean that a large area of sea around our Qinggang City has disappeared? Only a bare river bed is left? None of us can feel it?”
“Do you think I will? Do you believe it?”
Kneeling on the ground, Garu suppressed the fear in his heart and trembled slightly.
The shelter has been established for more than 300 years before the war, and it has been through countless generations of managers.
According to the tradition inherited from the original Free State, most shelter managers are basically elected by referendum. For example, the current manager of the harbor shelter was only a skilled fisherman before, but he won the election after continuously receiving 70% of the votes.
However, there are also some shelters that have different election rules during the development process, either due to reforms or accidents.
The current flat beach shelter is one of them.
It is rumored that before Yehu ascended to the throne of manager, he personally broke the neck of the previous manager.
The reason is simple.
Under his command, Pingtan Sanctuary was unable to resist the increasingly arrogant mutants, and could only continue to shrink its defense lines, causing unnecessary casualties.
Even though there were countless suggestions, he ignored them and still insisted on his own ideas.
One night, Yehu, who was the captain of the Pingtan Defense Team, finally had enough of the aggrievement and went into the manager's room to report the results in person.
When he came out again, the previous manager had disappeared, not even the body was left, only a blood-stained confession made people realize what happened.
In the next three months, Hunter Tiger used thunderous means to make the nearby mutants pay the price, and personally dueled with the leader of the mutants and won a head-on victory.
With an unprecedented 100% support, he took the position of manager of Pingtan Shelter.
Tiger hunting is a thing of the past, and flat beaches represent new life.
But there is no doubt that among all the shelter managers, he is the most vicious one and the one who likes to use violence the most.
"Dear Pingtan Shelter Manager, this is absolutely true. Harbor Master is willing to guarantee his reputation and has sent people to synchronize this news to all shelters. I absolutely dare not to say anything about it. You're lying."
"Oh? Master Qinggang also knows?"
"Yes, according to the time, the team heading to Qinggang Sanctuary should also have arrived."
Garu's head lowered even more humbly.
The news that the harbor shelter wants to sell is certainly not the disappearance of the bay, nor is it the cause of the fog.
He was waiting for Yehu to ask himself.
Sure enough.
"Without a seaport, I'm afraid your seaport shelter will have to be disbanded soon, right?"
Hearing this expected inquiry, Garu's downcast face finally showed a little joy, and his eyes There was also a hint of contempt.
As expected, managers who rely on force to rise to power are stupid and only know how to fight and kill.
His current reaction was completely expected by the "old academics" in the shelter.
In other words, the harbor shelter prepared a plan before coming.
At this point, everything is as expected.
"Sir Pingtan, we can contribute the information on the disappearance of the sea around Qinggang City for free, but the next information will probably have to be"
"Tell me, what is the price."
"One hundred pounds of nitrocellulose, ten sets of thermal insulation suits, and an exoskeleton!"
After finishing speaking, Garu raised his head for the first time and looked at the large seat in front of him. man.
The exposed red skin is as out of place as those green-skinned mutants.
The broad Chinese character face should be upright and awe-inspiring, but now it is full of evil and domineering because of the red lines.
His size exceeds two meters, and his terrifying muscles are like a hill.
With just one glance, Garu felt that his breathing had stopped for a moment.
But fortunately, judging from the smile on the corner of this guy's mouth, he doesn't seem to be angry about his offer?
This is a full 20% higher than the highest reference price given by the old scholars in the shelter.
If it really succeeds, the extra exoskeleton
"Liu Lu."
"My subordinates are here."
"This man I If you stay, those people outside should know what to do, right?”
On Yehu's plain face, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew stronger.
The reflection of the silver-white metal floor is distorted, as if the devil is laughing ferociously.
"What, Mr. Pingtan?"
Garu, who was lying on the ground, reacted and subconsciously touched his waist.
But unfortunately, his weapon had already been confiscated and he had been put on the opponent's clothes.
The bright green thermal insulation suit was like a piranha at this moment. It only tightened slightly and strangled him to the ground like a rope.
"Hmm...Hunting. Hunting Tiger, you broke the rules. Master Harbor will never do this."
The collar of the thermal suit moved upwards, completely covering Garou's mouth. Blocked.
Xiehu waved his hand impatiently.
“Go, don’t let anyone go, the supplies outside will be counted in your mission share on the 7th floor.”
"Yes."
Liu Lu, who was kneeling on one knee, looked up to Wei Wei and responded, with a depressed expression on his face, but he did not dare to say any more complaints.
Capturing Garu and destroying the caravan outside would be tantamount to offending the Harbor Shelter to death.
This month’s supply mission can be completed by looting this batch of goods.
But what about next month? What about next month?
If the sea really disappears, the foundation's merchant ships will definitely not be counted on.
Under the heavy fog, those passing merchants will also drastically reduce their frequency.
In this case, the future days of the shelter
Thinking of this, Liu Lu suddenly understood why Hunter Tiger impulsively arrested people just now.
Not because of the price.
But because of the lack of supplies, these forces in Qinggang City will never maintain such a balance again.
It’s the same as every time there was a shortage of supplies due to natural disasters in the past two hundred years or so.
A large-scale plundering war is about to break out.
"Master, it has been detected that thirty-two people are heading to the surface through the shaft, holding weapons."
"Based on the individual's external information collection, the combat probability is >96.7%."< br>
Zero, which was maintaining directional surveillance, vibrated slightly and ejected a simulated picture on the wall.
In the long and narrow shaft, like a candied haws of sugarcane, the person at the front is already squatting at the mouth of the well.
The caravans who came from outside and wore black armor were sitting on the ground not far from the wellhead to rest.
They didn't realize that there were so many people ambushing them under the shaft.
Of course, they didn’t expect it either.
"Didi. It has been detected that North 21, North 27, West 165, and West 197 have been surrounded by four people wearing exoskeleton armor. The target is being analyzed."
"Based on the individual external information collection, the opponent The target is a man in black armor, and the combat probability is >99.9%. "Hmm? Are you going to take action?"
Hearing the report of such a high probability, Su Mo stood up and his eyes flickered. .
Just now he saw with his own eyes the captain of the black-armored man, following the patrol officers down the wellhead.
But now, because the price has not been agreed upon, are you planning to plunder violently?
Sumo thought in his heart.
If it was a gangster attack, he might have been surprised when he first arrived in the wasteland.
But I have been to the wasteland of the future and have seen even more chaotic situations. The current scene is simply too childish.
Since the man in black armor dared to pay ten times the price, he should probably think of what would happen if he failed.
Even though Gopher Man has always followed the rules.
“It would be nice if I could know what they talked about when they went down.”
Sumo was quite regretful.
Surrounded by so many people, they still didn’t realize that the fate of the Black Armored Team was already doomed. However, the information I just collected is very useful. At least I know the general distribution of power in Qinggang City, as well as the personality and style of the western suburbs bunker.
As the four exoskeleton armors surrounding them from behind suddenly exploded.
More than thirty people jumped out from the shaft entrance.
Crackling.
Unlike the defective goods in the hands of Wild Wolf who found materials and put them together by themselves, the weapons in the hands of these people are all very sophisticated.
For a moment, tongues of flame were flying everywhere, shrouded in a dense fire net.
The six men in black armor in the front row fell into pools of blood before they could even scream.
The two people in the back row wanted to run, but they hit an exoskeleton head-on after taking a few steps.
In the fog, the face gradually became clear, and it was Liu Lu!
"Liu Liulu, you guys are breaking the rules on Pingtan!"
"Although our Harbor Shelter can't help you, Qinggang and Qinggang Shelter will definitely not spare you! ”
Holding the gun in his hand, the man in black armor did not fire.
Faced with the powerful exoskeleton, he was surrounded by the opponent again.
At this time, he could only hope that his threats would have some meager effect.
But it's a pity.
"Brother, forgive me, I have no choice but to do so." Liu Lu's calm face showed no joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but only endless numbness: "It's the manager I think you should be able to understand my lord’s order.”
"Hunting tigers? He. How dare he? Does he still think it is still the Qinggang City ten years ago? He"
Bang.
Before the man in black armor finished speaking, a bullet was shot from the gun held in Liu Lu's hand, accurately penetrating the weakest part of his throat, and causing a beautiful spurt of blood.
“Shhh.”
“The manager doesn’t like hearing you say that about him.”
Turning his head and looking calmly at the last man in black armor, Liu Lu raised his gun slightly.
"Give you a chance, tell me what happened in the disappearing sea outside the harbor shelter?"
"Good answer, maybe I can give you a way to survive."
“Are you sure?”
Liu Lu did not speak, but raised his hand and made a gesture to the men surrounding him.
The others understood and deliberately made an opening in the encirclement.
"Okay, considering that we have been trading for five years, I hope you can keep your promise."
"But you can only listen to the next words."
The man in black armor gritted his teeth, motioned Liu Lu to lower his head and whispered: "Beyond the harbor, it is not that the sea has disappeared, but that new land has appeared. Our surroundings in Qinggang City have completely changed."
“Changed?”
"Yes, the sea disappears, and the seabed disappears, replaced by a new land. There are trees, grass, strange city ruins, and"
Bang.
A bullet suddenly flew from behind and hit the man in black armor in the chest.
The blood that instantly burst out from the lungs blocked the throat, blocking all the words that people wanted to say and making meaningless whines.
“Why”
In the flashback at the moment of death, the man in black armor coughed out a large mouthful of blood, muttering full of reluctance.
Liu Lu looked up and looked at the place where the bullets were fired, his expression darkening.
It was a thin middle-aged man holding a revolver and wearing denim clothes, walking casually from a distance.
He was whistling, holding a piece of weed in his mouth, and kept turning the revolver in his hand to make fancy movements.
Seeing everyone looking over, he deliberately picked up the muzzle of the gun and blew out a breath, with a cynical smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his marksmanship.
"Wang Qian, Chief Wang, are you breaking some of the rules?" Liu Lu's face was ashen.
Human beings are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless?
Since he inherited the position of deputy director of B-7, he has been dealing with the people of the Harbor Shelter for nearly six years, and his friendship is much closer than that of the people on other levels in the shelter.
Even if Wang Qian is the deputy director of the B-9 floor, killing someone in front of him is equivalent to a slap in the face.
But
"Rules?" Wang Qian stopped, laughing as if he had heard a big joke: "My Chief Liu, our Pingtan Shelter has never had a deputy chief interrogate an enemy, right? "
"You"
"I saved your life, for the sake of your dead father." Wang Qian turned the revolver and inserted it into his waist, glancing at him. wellhead direction.
Looking along his gaze, Liu Lu's breath suddenly suffocated.
Jin Dafa, the manager in charge of the B-7 floor, unexpectedly appeared at the wellhead.
You know, he is a semi-civilian.
Although the two of them usually don't deal with each other, but now they are in this posture.
"Very good, you should understand, it seems that I don't It's a waste of time."
A relaxed smile appeared on Wang Qian's face: "Go back and look at the history of the shelter in the past thirty years, and wait for the opportunity. After the chaos, we are the ones doing the dirty work. It’s time for a hard-working person to make his mark.”
As he said that, he walked in another direction without looking back.
When passing by Jin Dafa, he whistled provocatively, lowering his head and not knowing what he said.
"Captain, these people."
"Tear off their clothes and find a place to bury them." Liu Lu was confused and gave a hurried command.
He is not a fool and has read the history of the refuge more than once.
I could clearly hear the underlying meaning of Wang Qian’s words just now.
the past thirty years.
On weekdays, the chief and deputy chief check and balance each other, one is responsible for management and the other is responsible for force.
When no fighting breaks out, the manager responsible for management can often dominate the deputy manager.
But every time when the situation becomes really chaotic, in order to win over those who are capable of fighting, managers will often reward them with previously unimaginable rewards.
Either materials, women, or status.
Jin Dafa definitely doesn't want to see himself take his place and become the leader of B-7.
“You guys, they’re all a bunch of idiots.”
“Without the harbor shelter line, and you want to drag me down, until you can’t complete next month’s material collection task, you Are you still your boss?"
Muttering a curse, Liu Lu quickly adjusted his attitude and forced out a smile.
Under one roof, what needs to be said and done.
Before they completely break up, everyone will still maintain the previous tacit understanding and pretend that nothing happened.
In order to complete the B-7 mission next month, those damn things will not go crazy and report self-destruction because they were thrown out of the shelter.
Bear it.
We will settle this account slowly later!
However, what he didn't know was.
On a high wall a few hundred meters away, Sumo observed the entire process, but an uncontrollable smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"Pingtan."
"Have you discovered that you have left Blue Star?"
"A shelter managed according to the number of floors?"
"Infighting?"
"A material task that will happen every month?"
More and more information was connected together, and Sumo was able to roughly outline a line of events.
Before, he was still thinking about how to find a breakthrough through the bunker.
Now.
Looking at Liu Lu wearing an exoskeleton, he began to comfort the frightened whip ox and collect the supplies left by the black armored man.
Somo turned around and his figure gradually disappeared into the mist.
