Chapter 953 Since he is a scavenger, there is nothing wrong with picking up some equipment!
Three prefabricated houses to provide temporary rest for the villagers were built not far from the chariot.
Logically speaking, the Red Spider Caravan would be the one to undertake this job.
But in the end, after totaling the expenses of both parties, Sean simply spent the money and outsourced the work to the village.
Including three meals a day, a total of 350 coupons were spent seven days a week.
Although it was one hundred and fifty coupons higher than the original budget, it still included the effort spent on commanding the lazy guys in the caravan to go out to work.
Shaun even felt like he had earned it.
In fact, the members of the Red Spider Caravan are not the kind who work for the caravan in a simple sense and can do whatever they want.
Each of these people who have mastered a large amount of knowledge or skills is a treasure in the Blue Star Wasteland.
To recruit these people to join the caravan, Sean used a lot of words and promised very tempting conditions to succeed.
In most cases, the relationship between them and the caravan is an equal employment relationship.
And if you can spend a little money to make this group of people comfortable, in the long run, it is actually very worthwhile.
As long as they can stand up at a critical moment, such as when they climbed out of those mountains this time, those engineers who worked tirelessly every night to repair the damage to the car would be enough to generate hundreds of percent of benefits for the caravan. Positive income.
The three connected prefab houses are not much different from those in Hope Village.
Arranged from left to right, the first wooden house is a public activity area, with a washing place and a simple kitchen separated.
The second and third prefabricated houses are living areas, with fifty 1.5*1.2 single beds inside. The space may be a little cramped compared to the interior of the Red Spider Chariot, but it is suitable for scavengers who are used to living there. Even more spacious.
Of course, the mattress on the single bed is shabby.
Currently, the territory can’t even get enough cotton to make ammunition, let alone some warm clothes and bedding.
Sean walked in from the door, looked around, and finally cautiously suggested:
"Friends, it has been raining these two days and it may be a bit cold at night. I see inside your house. There seems to be no heating facilities, so don’t let the workers get sick while sleeping.”
Although all the workers' daily life has been outsourced, this should no longer be a concern for the caravan.
But out of consideration for the workload and wanting to have a good relationship with Tianyuan Shelter.
“In the evening, I will have someone bring in a heating facility.”
“But you have to find a way to solve the problem of the electricity it uses.”
< br>As long as the forces on Blue Star have anything to do with civilization, they strongly reject slavery and will use various means as much as possible to maintain their rule.
Even looters who don't have enough brains will not force the refugees in the wasteland to join their ranks.
They know that this retro system will directly stifle human creativity and enthusiasm, and they will bear the risk of possible resistance.
In comparison, it is obviously more cost-effective to select some like-minded people to join the team.
This is true even in the Gopher Man's Sanctuary.
Of course, there is no place where slavery is used on Blue Star, but most of it is used on some defeated prisoners or captured members of hostile forces, and is not included in the regular discussion.
Sean traveled all over the country, and at that time he also had the idea of buying some slaves to serve as the bottom of the caravan.
However, in the end, they were dissuaded by the slaves’ depressed will and the risks they had to prevent.
"Thank you, Mr. Sean, for your kindness. This helps us a lot."
"As for the energy problem, don't worry, we will solve it ourselves!"
said With that, Feng Long hurriedly walked over and stretched out his right hand with a look of surprise on his face. The two of them held it together.
Just now, he was planning to set up several stoves in the room to keep warm at night.
It would be great if the Red Spider Caravan was willing to send a heating facility.
As long as you bring some energy stones here, it will definitely be much more convenient to provide heating.
“It’s getting late today, and we will set off soon.”
“As the captain of the Red Spider Caravan, let me first tell you about our plans for the next seven days. ”
Sean nodded and took out a test tube from his arms, which contained the strange moss in Qinggang City.
Compared to the blue-purple moss growing around the building that Sumo saw for the first time.
The moss in the test tube is purple-red, with a faint hint of black.
“This is our goal. The scientific name given to it by the foundation is: “Calm Neutralizing Moss”, and the most commonly used name for it is: Calm Powder.”
"Its function is very simple. It has only one function, which is to reduce the intensity of the reaction."
"The newly born Serenity Moss is pure blue, slightly luminous, has low corrosiveness and low toxicity. When it encounters organisms, it will automatically release powder to adhere, so please stay away from them as much as possible."
In The growing calm moss is blue-purple with a restrained light. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will have a strong corrosive effect. Do not touch it directly with your hands.
The calm and mature moss is the color in my hands, purple-red. ”
This is not the first time he has spoken to the local workers, and Sean seems to be at ease.
Although the faces of the workers below seem a bit “indifferent”, some of them are even still talking. While laughing and whispering, he still tried his best to talk about the dangers that may be encountered when collecting tranquility moss
"The target you need to collect is the purple-red neutralized moss. The way to collect it is very simple. You only need to use the glass tool that will be given to you to squeeze it out to separate it from the moss blanket, put it into a test tube and bring it back. . ”
“During this process, the caravan’s guards will help you eliminate most of the dangers around you, such as approaching mutant beasts, mutants, and predators, but you still need to be careful of possible dangers coming from a certain sewer pipe. Enemies suddenly appear, just in case."
"The minimum daily task amount per person is 20g. For every additional 10g, your income for the day will be doubled."
"If you can exceed 200g, or collect high-quality calm neutral moss that is completely red, the caravan's special rewards will definitely not disappoint you."
After talking about the goals, benefits, and incentive awards, Sean didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Joseph, the vice-captain of the Red Spider Caravan, walked in and began to hand out tools for collecting Calm Neutral Moss.
Each person has a glass spatula, a glass knife, and three strong and durable polymer resin synthetic test tubes.
In addition, there is a device the size of a bottle cap, I don’t know what it is used for.
"High-quality calming powder is hard to find. It is usually found in the center of the moss blanket. You must be careful."
"If someone is injured, please be sure to bring him back as soon as possible, Red The Spider Caravan will take care of their treatment.”
"There are still six hours between now and eight o'clock in the evening. We have to speed up."
Feng Long nodded.
“No problem.”
After the one-hour break, the scavengers ate some dry food and quickly recovered from the energy consumed by the rush, and began to assemble the team to prepare for departure.
The injured Luke is receiving secondary treatment and is temporarily absent from the afternoon action.
Craig Darren, deputy captain of the Red Spider Caravan's escort team, is in charge of security.
"The location where we collect calm powder today is within this range. I will lead eight guards to eliminate the surrounding risks first. Please be sure not to step outside this range, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."< br>
Taking out a fifteen-inch tablet, Darren drew a red circle on it with his hand.
Ding dong. The bottle cap device that had just been issued suddenly trembled slightly, and the matte surface emitted a light green light.
"The light is green, which means your activity area is within the protection range and is safe."
"The light is yellow, which means your activity area is close to the danger zone. Please be careful."
"The light is red, please exit as soon as possible and return to our designated activity area."
"Now, let's go!"
Huh.
After the words fell, nine Raptor Power Armors including Darren rushed out first, rushing towards Qinggang City at a maneuvering speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
This time they did not hide their identities. The foundation's logo was engraved on the surface of the power armor.
Following these people, Feng Long waved his hand, and the team of scavengers dispersed like a flock of sheep.
According to the previously assigned teams, the fifty people were divided into four teams.
The captains are: Sildenafil, the number one male gunner in the island country, Dream Taoist, Kong Kong Taoist
Depending on the captain's personality and style, the action directions of these teams are also different.
The "Gou" team led by Sildenafil is firmly chasing behind the nine power mechas, with the mentality of preferring less gain than taking absolutely no risks.
The "Gang" team led by the island country's number one male gunner only went straight to the bungalow area next to the Pingtan shelter in the map information, obviously keeping an eye on what might appear there. Other gains.
The remaining two teams, Tao Meng Zhe and Kong Kong Tao Ren, are both the current standard "rich teams" in the village.
The former has a huge advantage in detection equipment. It has an infrared detector and a biochemical composition analyzer that I don’t know where it came from.
The latter received a wave of small investments from the steel plant because they were good brothers with the chief trial officer of Lianmeng Steel Plant, Pu Ling Mozi, and he was armed to the teeth with weapons, equipment, and various tools.
The two teams reached a consensus on the detection and chose to go together to explore the outer edges of the high-rise areas behind the damaged bridge.
Soon, the four teams divided into three directions. After about ten minutes, they finally entered the western suburbs of Qinggang City.
"Hey, there really is a city!"
Standing on the outer edge of the light mist, staring at the steel behemoth wrapped inside.
The No. 1 gunman of the island country, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, was stunned and didn't even notice that the cigarette handle in his mouth fell to the ground.
This.
Is this an entire city that has traveled through it?
When he first came into contact with map information in the prefabricated house, he had already imagined the city as huge as possible.
But I am really standing here, looking at this lifeless ruins of civilization.
This feeling is still difficult to describe in simple words.
It is different from the fear and unfamiliarity I felt when I first crossed over to the wasteland from the earth.
At this time, all that was left in my heart was the simplest fear.
“Be careful, the more beautiful the place, the more risks lurk.”
“Don’t underestimate every corner, we have to imagine that every dark place here has hidden dangers. Watch the enemy.”
Look at the countless shell craters on the city ground and the strange plants growing in the corners of the buildings.
Sildenafil acted more and more cautiously. While tracing the traces left by the power armor on the ground, he ordered his teammates to collect as much information as possible on this ruined city.
Here is an undoubted treasure, especially for scavengers.
But at the same time, the danger here can be known just by looking at the attitude of the escorts. It is definitely not that simple.
If you want to level up and gain route progress, you must have a life to accumulate experience.
Before there was enough intelligence to support his decision, he was still very cautious in his choices.
“There are a lot of traces of human life here, it’s very fresh, and a battle may come at any time.”
“Don’t spread out, try to make sure you can support your teammates.”
The teams of Dream Taoist and Kongkong Taoist also entered Qinggang City.
Relying on instruments and developed habits, they soon found a large number of traces on the ground.
Especially those that look like scorch marks left by battle, and the smell of gunpowder smoke that still hasn't evaporated after the heavy rain washed away.
There was a big war here not long ago?
"Holy shit, is there a gun there?"
After walking a few steps, the old man with the goatee's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a pistol hanging diagonally on the steel bar.
This gun looks a bit like a Glock 17, with only some water stains on the surface. How could someone leave it here?
"Be careful, fishing and law enforcement."
"I understand."
Although Tao Mengzi looks honest and has a mouth full of freshly shaved green stubble, he is no less cautious than Xi. Denafil.
After taking someone to check the area carefully, I made sure that the gun was really just missing here.
The old man stepped forward quickly and took the pistol off the steel bar.
Pushing open the magazine, the bullets inside were indeed empty, and there were obvious signs of firing in the barrel.
Like those previously found on the ground, the marks inside the barrel are also fresh.
“It seems that there has been a battle here in the past few days.”
“If nothing else, look around?”
Compared to the so-called caravan mission, these "wild" guns are obviously more attractive.
Compared to the powerful wolf crossbow on his back, anyone with a discerning eye would know better if he could find bullets.
How effective can this thing be at critical moments?
“Damn, there’s a submachine gun here, and eight bullets!”
“There’s a rifle here, hey, why did it break in the middle? What a waste of natural resources.”
"Bullets, I found a magazine here, with eighteen rounds of pistol bullets in it!"
"Damn it, I'm so developed. Every time I find a gun, I'll get 0.35% upgrade progress."
"It's so cool. If I keep going at this rate, I'm afraid a week will be enough for me to level up!"< br>
Searching along the streets with traces of battle, more and more remnants of the battle were discovered by scavengers.
There are all kinds of guns with empty bullets thrown in hidden corners, and there are a lot of ammunition scattered randomly that have not been collected.
There were clothes stained with blood that were randomly thrown near the sewer, and there were unknown devices that were not marked as damaged.
"Boss, it seems that this is not our mission today, right?"
Looking at the island nation's number one gunman, he found a large-caliber shotgun from a bungalow and stood at the door of the room, giggling.
A scavenger walked up and asked, pointing to the empty test tube at his waist with some anxiety.
"What are you afraid of? There are still seven days left for this mission. Let's pay him today and find more later."
"Besides, we are scavengers, so this scavenger Order some equipment. There’s nothing wrong with it!”
