Chapter 1393: Foresight, changes in the enterprise!
The quality of life of the survivors living around Hulai City is obviously better than that in other areas of the Southern Fire Territory.
Not only are the houses on both sides of the tributary neat and tidy, at least every one of them looks very solid and reliable. There are no dangerous buildings that are crumbling and will collapse at a glance, nor are there any buildings scattered here and there. messy distribution.
What is even more striking is that just in the outer part, it can be seen that many houses have built strong walls. This behavior is not only a definition of personal space, but also a sign that the survivors plan to A clear sign of long-term and secure living here.
“It seems that the company is not as stingy as the rumors say.”
Chu Chaofei nodded in thought, and his eyes slowly swept around, trying to deduce the real situation behind it based on the actual conditions that could be observed with the naked eye.
If the company is really as ruthless and indifferent to the survivors as rumored by the outside world, then the people who stay here will never make the decision to stay in such a short period of time. .
After all, in the current wasteland environment that is still full of opportunities and challenges, survivors often make more radical choices and will try their best to find a suitable place to settle down again.
But it’s right to think about it. Depending on the size of the company, even if it leaks just a little bit from their fingers, for ordinary survivors, it may be a precious opportunity that can change their destiny.
“We are going to dock at this fishing village. We have inquired about the situation at the outermost edge a few days ago, and then we will go in after we understand it.”
Feng Long commanded, and the two sampans began to leave the center of the river and row toward the shore.
From the information obtained, Hulai City divided its surrounding areas according to distance, with every five kilometers as a level, and a total of four areas were divided.
The closer to the interior, the higher the level of the area, and the more difficult it is to obtain the qualifications to enter.
The small fishing village where the sampan is currently docking may not even be able to enter the fourth area, or it may be said to be stuck on the edge of the fourth area.
According to common sense, the people here should also be the least xenophobic.
Facts have proved that Feng Long's guess was indeed correct.
There were two people on duty at the docking pier in the small fishing village at night. After discovering the two approaching sampans, they not only did not show any panic, but also enthusiastically directed the ships to dock.
Waiting until they were about to dock, the leader, a dark middle-aged man with a big neck, threw out a hemp rope. Feng Longyan quickly took it and tied it to the fixed bulge on the bow of the sampan.
"Brothers, you guys are strangers, are you from outside?"
By the light of the fire, the middle-aged man looked around and couldn't help but exclaimed when he discovered that there were women on the two boats. vocal channel.
Fishermen will not take women into the water, even their own family members.
After all, no one can guarantee that in the current chaotic world, we will encounter idiots with sperm-like brains, causing unnecessary conflicts and frictions.
"Yes, we came all the way here. I heard that companies want to try their luck here."
Securing the other ship, Feng Long climbed onto the pier, and The big-necked middle-aged man struck up a conversation.
It is said that wealthy people are happy in everything, and wealthy people are prosperous in everything.
The order around Hulai City is not as chaotic as the outside world, and the development is relatively rapid. As a result, the mental outlook of the survivors who have taken root nearby is completely different from the outside world.
"Then you have found the right path. People who come here are all here for the business." Big Neck said and helped pull the sampan, his attitude was extremely friendly.
Of course, this is also because everyone changed their clothes before coming here, and the supplies and equipment were also placed in the storage module, but the mental outlook can still tell that they are not ordinary survivors.
The survivors who came to the vicinity of Hu Lai City to try their luck would naturally not be stupid enough to offend such a person.
“You are very lucky. In two days until the beginning of the month, Hulai City’s new window will happen to be open. By then, after the registration information is completed, you will be able to receive the settlement benefits immediately.”
"And there are benefits? Doesn't it mean that the company doesn't care whether the survivors live or die?"
"That's all in the past tense. It seems that you still don't know the current situation." Big Neck laughed twice, and wanted to say something. end.
Feng Long rolled his eyes, and two hard candies came out of his pocket and handed them over. The latter took them with a smile. When he saw that they were hard currency, his attitude became even more kind.
“In the past, the company did maintain an obvious attitude of avoidance towards us. That is to say, they did not care whether the survivors lived or died. They stubbornly believed that we had no value that could be exploited, and contact would only be a waste of time. Therefore, , We are not even allowed to approach the surrounding areas of Hu Lai City. Even if we take a look, we will be forced to retreat by the guards.”
“I just don’t know if too many people have gathered. Recently, the company can no longer ignore us. Due to its existence, a tentative decision was made some time ago to divide the surrounding area into four different parts in order to manage and limit the survivors' further contact with Hu Lai City
But guess what, it was originally out of desperation and expediency, but it unexpectedly gave them a taste of sweetness. "
Looking at Big Neck's appearance, he looks like a rough man. When he talks, he doesn't expect to do the same thing.
"In the process of zoning, many people are waiting to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. In order to be able to go to higher-level areas, the survivors were finally willing to show their abilities and values. Some of them showed abilities that attracted the attention of the company. This made the company suddenly realize that we survivors are not useless. In fact, It contains huge potential and exploitable value. ”
“Therefore, the attitude of enterprises towards us has changed significantly in recent times. Not only has it begun to launch a series of policies that are beneficial to survivors, but it has also opened a lot of welfare benefits. The settlement benefits I just mentioned It's one of them. "
"Hey, you said that, then why don't you see any relevant information on the World Channel?"
Xi Ruyue also walked up, and when she heard this, her heart moved and she quickly asked.
If the company can really reach this point, the survivors will definitely take notice and come in large numbers.
But the reality is that there is no relevant news. Including some recently discussed topics, the company's image is still very stingy and stingy.
“Sister, bad things spread thousands of miles, but good things don’t go out.”
Big Neck looked at Xi Ruyue in surprise: “Isn’t it enough that there are more than 200,000 people around you competing with you for welfare benefits? , if you send the message to the World Channel, will the people who see it think of you and give you material rewards?”
"Everyone who can come here is smart. Even if a few fools occasionally post it, no one will believe it."
Damn, it's so true.
In the past, those messages were all indifferent complaints from survivors, and occasionally I could see one or two sentences speaking for the company.
No wonder World Channel’s corporate reputation has been getting lower and lower recently. It turns out that the treatment is getting better and better. No one wants more people to come here to compete for places!
“There is another reason as you have seen. There are indeed not many places for people to live in the canyon. We are now several kilometers away from the fourth area. If more people come here, where will they live? Go?”
After taking the advantage, Big Neck didn't hide his secrets. Anyway, these are all information that can be easily found out.
The reason why he is still willing to stay at the dock at night is because he wants to earn some supplies with the new arrivals to supplement his family income.
"You just came here and it's night time. It's probably not going to be easy to find a place to stay for a while. Think about it, do you want to stay at my house for a few days? We have three houses, all of which are brick houses. One of them is My brother and I are living together, and the other two rooms can be rented to you for a short period of time."
"You can rest assured, we are just trying to earn some supplies, we have no other ideas." Everyone also followed suit.
It turns out that this person is Big Neck’s younger brother, no wonder he didn’t talk over anything during the whole process.
Everyone looked at each other, and they were surprised.
Originally, the group planned to make do in the wild tonight, and then inquire about information and find a place to stay tomorrow morning. Now it is naturally good for someone to take the initiative.
After some price negotiation, we finally reached a deal with ten kilograms of thick noodles and rented two houses for one month.
Looking at the excitement on their faces, the price should actually be too high.
But when they go out and spend some trivial money to avoid trouble, they don't suffer.
"You stay here while I take them home to rest." He arranged for his younger brother to continue on duty at the pier. He picked up the fishing rod, carried it on his shoulders and led the way.
Not to mention that the two brothers can build three brick houses in the wasteland, their minds are definitely far beyond the average person.
Earn a penny by working on the dock, earn a penny by fishing at night, and make money by meeting passing survivors.
One job can earn three times of money. If you don’t get rich, who will get rich?
Leaving the pier and heading towards the fishing village, there is a long wild trail.
Feng Long looked back and forth, then quickened his pace to catch up.
"You are very brave, are you not afraid of us birds occupying the dove's nest?"
People who are used to walking at night are a little scared to come to a place like this, let alone still in this place. Wasteland.
However, Big Neck still looked indifferent, as if he was not worried about anyone doing anything to him.
"Of course I'm not afraid anymore. You guys are here to survive. What's the benefit of killing me?" Big Neck smiled nonchalantly: "Of course, if you think you can escape the company's pursuit, you can try it. Anyway, I am I'm very relieved."
"No way, the company will take care of such a trivial matter as killing someone?"
"Then if I say the company will take care of it, do you believe it? "
"Yes!" Feng Long gave a thumbs up.
Big Neck is a given. Everyone is new here, and they don’t dare to make any mistakes without any information.
"No, haha. Seeing that you are taking women with you when you go out, you shouldn't be bad people."
This is one of the reasons.
The most reassuring thing about Big Neck is that the figures are all round and round, including the two women who don’t seem to have suffered too much. They don’t look like refugees who have been hungry for a long time.
Since he is not a refugee, it is impossible to push himself into a dead end for the sake of immediate interests without a backup plan.
Across the path is the fishing village.
After walking around the village for more than ten minutes, Big Neck stopped at the door of a low bungalow.
“This is it.”
The wall is about two meters and three meters, and is an earthen wall built with yellow mud and grass roots.
But the three houses inside the door are indeed made of red bricks and should not have taken long to build.
There is also an open-air kitchen built in the yard, with two black iron pots placed on the stove.
"Your conditions are much better than those of the survivors outside!"
Having your own yard, house, and all kinds of daily necessities is considered a wealthy life in a super territory.
"I am just lucky. I always meet friends like a few distinguished guests, so I can live a little life."
I like the surprised look of the foreign survivors, and the big neck smiles. He led everyone in and introduced the two houses one by one.
Actually, there is no need to introduce it. There is not even a bed in the house. It is so empty that it can only be laid on the floor.
But having a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and a wall to keep out the outside, is much more comfortable and safer than living in the wild.
"This is ten kilograms of thick noodles. Please click on the weight. If there is no problem, we will take a rest."
Ming Wujing counted out ten kilograms of noodles from the supply bag carried behind his back. The black thick noodles were put in a straw basket and handed over.
"Okay, okay."
Big Neck quickly took it, paying no attention to the quality of the rough noodles.
Nowadays, people who stutter are pretty good, so who has the right to care about whether they are black or dirty, and whether they are dirty or not.
Everyone ignored Big Neck and waited for him to go out, then closed the door and sat on the ground to rest.
Speaking of which, taking a boat is quite tiring. I am not down to earth, and I always feel light and detached.
"We are so lucky. We met a good person as soon as we arrived and saved a lot of trouble." Su Chan was a little silly and happy.
The people here are not much different from those in Tianyuan Territory, and the traces of order restraint can be clearly seen.
"Our first step went really well, but companies have started to proactively contact us earth players. This is probably not good news," Xi Ruyue also said.
Needless to say the strength of Hu Lai City, Sumo has made it very clear before.
At this point in time, he is almost invincible, and whoever touches him will die.
Such a giant is actually willing to lower its stature and take the initiative to contact humans on earth. Who knows what will happen next? If they also start to study the mysterious power of routes like the academy, it will be in big trouble. .
Before the trip, Sumo told them two mission goals.
First, poaching people will never change!
In this new era full of unknowns and challenges, talent is undoubtedly the most valuable resource.
The super geniuses that Sumo is looking for to emerge in the future ruins are important, but in fact 90% of the progress needs to be promoted by those backbone forces who work silently and diligently.
These people may not be as dazzling as the geniuses, but they are the most solid cornerstone of the team. Their continuous dedication and hard work are an important guarantee for the team to continue to move forward.
It just so happens that the company has divided the survivors into different areas according to their abilities, which saves the trouble of finding people. Just dig according to the first-level area and it's done.
It would be best to recruit 180 people back, which would immediately increase the institute's advancement speed several times.
Second, learn more about Hu Lai City and get as much information as possible.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Although Hu Lai City can only be considered a medium-sized city for Blue Star Enterprises, no one can ignore a corporate city with a complete industrial chain in the wasteland.
Looking at the corporate expedition teams sent out, we can see that their strength can still be said to be invincible at the moment.
And because he had established a connection with the foundation in advance, Sumo did not think about using the company to help develop. The gap in strength between the two was really too big.
Even if you make contact, you must be careful to avoid being eaten up by the other party.
However, if one day a great opportunity comes to his door, he will not let it go.
Once you can master various technologies that have been collected and organized by enterprises for hundreds of years, it is equivalent to saving millions of survival points.
Pursuing information about companies in advance now is to prepare in advance for conflicts that may break out in the future.
