Chapter 954 In addition to labor, we also provide "takeaway" service!
Nine o'clock in the evening.
In the misty night.
Not far from the Red Spider Chariot, "laughing and laughter" began to appear along with the crowd.
It was slightly different from when we set out for Qinggang City. At this time, we stood on the guard tower and looked at the scavengers holding various firepower weapons in the mist. The four guards who were on guard couldn't help but widen their eyes.
What the hell
Didn’t they still carry primitive crossbows and some outdated-looking handguns before setting off?
Why have you suddenly changed your mind?
Those shiny rifles hanging around the neck, and the sharp submachine guns on the waist.
What the hell, there are also RPG launchers for riding horses?
As the distance got closer and closer, the guards observed more and more things, and they couldn't help but be even more surprised.
Even Sean, who walked out of the chariot, was shocked by the battle.
Wearing heavy Raptor power armor, deputy captain Darren swept past the flank of the team, untied his restraints and walked over.
"Captain, the total amount collected today is about 700g. Mature calm powder is not common in the western suburbs of Qinggang City. It seems that we must expand the scope tomorrow and go deeper into Qinggang City. ."
Sean: "They. Is this a looter's weapons arsenal?"
Darren: "I don't know where they got it from. Anyway, Captain Fenglong said that the group picked it up from the corner, but considering the battle that night, this situation is also possible."< br>
“Picked it up?”
Sean frowned.
"Our risk will be much greater if we go deep into Qinggang City. Once these people are injured or killed, we will probably have to pay a huge pension to the manager. Is the outer western suburbs gone?"
Darren said helplessly.
"Based on what we detected today, Calm Powder should have been harvested by gophers recently, and obvious signs of picking can be seen. We were able to find these today thanks to the hard work of those workers who went to some very special places. Found it in a hidden corner. "
"In addition, the explosion caused by the large-scale battle that night, although it was extinguished by rain, still affected a lot of calm powder. If we want to collect enough, we must. It is only possible to go to the area within the third ring road of Qinggang City.”
The entire western suburbs are barren of resources and full of collapsed building ruins.
With the relatively powerful Pingtan Sanctuary in charge, not many predators are willing to come here to fight against the autumn wind.
Most of the surviving humans were eventually concentrated in the central area of the city, relying on some public buildings left over from before the war to survive.
And those mutants are supported by Pingtan Sanctuary, and they will not survive here.
So this directly leads to the fact that the western suburbs are not as dangerous as imagined, and even mutant beasts are basically unlikely to be encountered.
But if you go to the city center, enter the area within the third ring road.
For the caravan guards wearing power armor, no one in Qinggang City dares to hit them casually, and they are still very safe.
But these hired workers
Sean, who had decided to establish a good relationship with this strange shelter, did not want to see any accidents happen.
Even if the caravan can afford the pension, it must consider the subsequent series of trust crises.
“How many people do we have to mobilize to ensure the safety of their collection?”
Darren was silent for a moment, weighing his thoughts and shaking his head.
“The dangers hidden in every pre-war city are different. Because this Qinggang City is close to the seaport, the underground pipeline construction is very complicated. Even if we have eliminated the threats on the ground, we will not We can guarantee that there will be monsters suddenly rushing out from invisible hiding places. So to ensure that there are no casualties, we have to mobilize at least sixteen people to clear the threats on the ground and one team to protect them. ”
"Also. Captain, the news you got should be true. I happened to meet a few wanderers passing by while patrolling today. They confirmed that the purchasing power of the foundation's bonds has been declining rapidly, and the depreciation rate is about ten times. About.”
Sean: “.”
Yes, the bad news pried out from Jin Dazhi’s mouth is indeed true.
If only the foundation's bonds depreciated due to some unexpected reasons, the Red Spider Caravan had basically used up the money in the account before this trip, and used it to upgrade tanks, purchase ammunition, and purchase industry. At its core, the impact is not serious.
But if we look at the underlying logic of the depreciation of commercial securities, this means
The foundation's influence is waning!
In a short period of time, the caravan may not be able to unscrupulously pull out the foundation's flag and proceed unimpeded.
But I want to return to the foundation headquarters to continue to remain competitive and upgrade more equipment to deal with dangerous scenes.
High-value physical objects have become the best choice right now.
"The situation is different. We must collect enough calming powder to bring back to the headquarters. Tomorrow you will take sixteen people out, and be sure to ensure their safety as much as possible to avoid any accidents."
"Tell these people that our material requirements will be doubled and their treatment will be tripled. If anyone can exceed the quota, we will reward them half as much as the previous rewards!"
There are forty caravan guards in total. , sent out sixteen people at once, which is already close to half of the manpower.
After hearing this, Darren said with a slightly weird expression:
“Captain, based on my observation today, such a reward may not stimulate the enthusiasm of these people?!”< br>
“Oh? What do you mean? Is it because they can’t get the coupons?”
Sean was slightly confused.
The commercial bonds outside have depreciated, but what he paid to these people was not the commercial bonds, but goods of equal value.
Is it because the manager took all of everyone’s salary?
If this is the reason, it would be a bit troublesome.
"Probably not, I feel it is just simply unattractive." Darren said with a complicated expression: "Their love for fire weapons is completely It’s beyond my imagination. How can I describe it? The performance is probably not much different from when I first drove my father’s power armor when I was 12 years old.”
"So I think it might be better to give them some similar physical rewards? For example, don't they have guns now? We can use tools to help them modify them. Anyway, there is no need to spend any special and rare materials, which is just right for the engineering department. Those people can practice their skills, or let them collect some things themselves, and we can use the printing machine to make something for them. This kind of reward might be more tempting."
"Is that so."
Shaun nodded.
I don’t like coupons and materials, but I like weapons but it’s okay.
Looking at the guys they brought with them in the afternoon, what Darren said may be true.
If only I could use such a cheap one.
At this moment, an inexplicable fragrance suddenly floated from a distance, interrupting Sean's thinking.
“Damn?! What does it smell like? It’s so fragrant! Is our kitchen preparing a midnight snack?”
Darren raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise appeared on Gujing Mubo’s face.
After a busy afternoon, even though the power armor he was wearing had an energy supply, it did not consume much physical energy.
At this point, he was also hungry and wanted to rush to the kitchen to eat well.
“Midnight snacks, of course there are late night snacks!”
After breathing in the smell that filled the air, Sean’s stomach also made a growl.
Although it had only been less than three hours since he finished eating, the food in his stomach had not been digested yet.
But the moment the fragrance appeared, he was still slightly distracted, and his mind suddenly imagined the most famous "Perfume Fire Rabbit" by Burke Crouch.
In the Holy City, the price of that thing is not only as high as 50,000 coupons, but also more expensive than the price of a mid-range version of the Red Spider Chariot.
As for other restrictions and requirements, they are also outrageous. He opened the door for outrageousness, which is outrageous.
Before eating, you need to make a reservation, and it will take at least half a year for your turn.
After eating it, if you want to eat it again next time, the price will increase by 10,000 coupons, and it will keep adding up.
When he passed through the holy city of Bokeluozhi, he was lucky enough to participate in a tasting event and tasted a small piece of meat.
But it was this piece that he had been thinking about for more than five years.
To this day, sometimes I still dream about that smell that is so fragrant that it smells so good.
When did the caravan’s kitchen become able to make such high-quality midnight snacks?
Shaun felt more and more surprised and wanted to walk towards the kitchen.
However, when the two turned their heads and looked at the chariot, they suddenly discovered it.
At this time, many caravan members poked their heads out of the open windows of the chariot, inhaling the smell of the air.
Look where they are looking
"Wait."
"Is this the workers' camp that smells like?" in the open space in front of the prefabricated house.
A simple stove was set up, and Ma Haoge was humming a tune while vigorously kneading the dough on his hands.
Beside him, the "vegetarian hunter" who stands out in the chef apprenticeship camp is using vegetable oil to grease the pot.
Zila.
The shredded potatoes are put into the oil pan, and the water and boiling oil collide violently.
Huh. Huh.
The blower under the stove was powerful, and flames kept shooting out from the gaps on both sides.
After frying for a few times, the vegetarian hunter picked up a large spoon and skillfully picked up the seasonings from the chopping board.
Salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar
When he got to the last vial, he picked it up cautiously, shook it a few times and quickly put it down.
At this point, pour it into the pot and stir.
Immediately, a strong aroma spread out from the steaming gas along the side of the pot.
“What the hell, what are you doing? Why is it so fragrant?”
“Shredded potatoes, what the hell, is the lord giving us extra food today?”
“ Do you want money? When I came out, I exchanged all the money I had for equipment.”
“The shady old guy who squeezes ramen juice is here, I’m afraid he’s going to squeeze us a lot of money. .”
"I'll eat it if you want money. The taste is too tempting, isn't it?!"
Smelling the fried smell, the guns I picked up during the day no longer seem so fragrant.
The vegetarian hunter in charge of the spoon listened carefully, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but pull out an imperceptible arc.
On Earth, he is just a husband-and-wife restaurant owner in a town, and he usually serves as the chef.
After coming to the wasteland, he thought that he only knew this skill and would definitely lose it in the future.
But who would have thought that after more than half a year, he would have room to play again.
Not only did he have the corresponding route choice, he was now valued by the lord and participated in secret missions.
As long as the potato shreds added with "Million Flavor Spores" can complete the task
That's 50 contribution points!
The previous task of digging trenches only gave one contribution point per day. It would take at least more than a year to collect the points to move into the dungeon.
And now as long as he can get this 50, the day when he takes his wife into the underground city, rents a shop and reopens a restaurant will undoubtedly be a lot closer!
"This is a working meal arranged by the lord. There is no charge. Everyone will have it until you are full!"
"Don't crowd in front of outsiders, don't lose it. The face of our Tianyuan territory.”
The vegetarian hunter shouted.
Suddenly, the scavengers became excited.
Free buffet, this is the treatment that S-level talents can enjoy in the previous version.
Not only did they pick up a lot of good things when they went on a mission this time, they also got this kind of treatment.
I am super!
It’s so exciting!
“Bring me a big bowl of noodles, I want to eat it with shredded potatoes!”
The number one man in the wasteland carried the porcelain bowl eagerly to the noodle pot.
After being free, Ma Haoge’s face, which he usually looked disgusting on, turned out to be a bit kinder.
Especially after he took two full chopsticks of noodles out of the pot and put them into the bowl, the male gunman was so excited that he almost cried.
Of course, I didn’t cry because of the weight.
But the smell made me cry!
Tonight's noodles seemed different from those sold in the market, and there was a strong and strange aroma inside them.
Take a sip and your stomach seems to be twitching greedily.
“Thank you, I’ll order some shredded potatoes, and some of this cold wild vegetable.”
After receiving the vegetarian vegetables that almost covered the entire bowl from the vegetarian hunter, the male gun brother couldn’t help but I couldn't help my inner impulse.
While sobbing, he walked towards an open space where no crowds gathered.
Crouching beside Feng Long, who had already inhaled the storm, he took a beautiful breath of the fragrance.
Just when the male gun brother was about to start eating, two figures walking in the distance interrupted his movements.
“Friend.”
The figure came closer, and the male gunman recognized the speaker at a glance.
It seems to be the boss of this caravan, and next to him is the captain who accompanied them out in the afternoon?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the caravan boss keep chattering, the male gunman looked confused and could only turn his eyes to Feng Long.
"You guys want to eat the midnight snack in our hands?"
Feng Long took in a big mouthful of noodles and replied vaguely while chewing.
“No, no, our manager has said that food cannot be supplied to outsiders, otherwise unexpected situations may occur.”
"Unexpected, no, no, no, my friend, you misunderstood!"
Food knows no borders, and tastes resonate.
Shaun was about to faint from the fragrance, and he couldn't care less about any accidents at this time.
"I buy, we buy your food. Don't worry, we will buy your midnight snacks at five times the price of raw materials, no. Ten times."
" It’s not possible to buy it, the manager said it can’t be provided to any outsiders.”
"How could it be? How could it be an outsider?" Darren, who was equally stunned, changed his words again and again: "We are friends, we are best friends, and friends should share good things with each other, are you right?"
"It seems to make sense?" He took another big bite to himself, Feng Long wiped his mouth, and still stubbornly replied: "But."
"No but, no need. Your manager allows it, right? I'll let him apply."
Sean turned his head and whispered to Darren beside him.
The latter turned around and ran towards the chariot like flying.
Half a minute later, a nearly berserk powered armor roared towards the village at full power.
Compared with the speed of 60 kilometers per hour when rushing to Qinggang City, the current speed of the power suit is frighteningly fast, actually exceeding the speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
About an hour passed, after Sean sat on the ground and cursed dozens of times secretly.
Darren finally rushed back, holding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, and shouted from a distance:
"Captain Feng, we."
< br>
"Takeaway, we need Tianyuan takeaway!"
