Chapter 1094: Guard Captain, Big Trouble with the Giant Tree Root!

In the wasteland, the gathering place of 80,000 people does not sound very large, which is the average level of the shelters in the city. (っ◔◡◔)っ

But if you want to manage these people well, it is not enough to just talk.

The reason why the mole guys have so many people but only need simple management is because of the continuous spiritual integration over the past two hundred years.

To put it bluntly, just look at how chaotic the group of wanderers gathered some time ago was.

Even with sufficient supplies and military forces, the Qinggang Shelter can only have a headache facing these tens of thousands of wanderers.

Edmund was even forced to shout that as long as these people don't mess around, the residents and guards can open the taverns that are prohibited in foggy days to these people, and give them a 20% discount!

It is precisely because of this that the 80,000 people now lingering in the Giant Tree Root Sea are like a bomb that can explode at any time.

Not to mention replacing the hunting tiger, even Hades himself is replaced.

In this situation without modern weapons, it is difficult to maintain the situation with a few confidants.

Of course, Mr. Richard, the manager of the Giant Tree Root Sea, actually thinks so.

But the key is that he thinks it is useless? !

Not to mention the managers of the post station, even those outsiders can find out his control over the post station and his attitude towards pirates in the past as long as they spend a day. Who would care about him as a manager who can't bring any benefits?

That's why, with more and more people, Richard is already planning to run away.

And the reason why he hasn't left yet.

On the one hand, it is because the looted materials in the past six months have not been completely moved away. A small part is still accumulated in the warehouse of the post station, and most of them are in a secret place. If there are no such materials, even if he goes to the New World, he can only run around for a living like ordinary people.

On the other hand, there are many people watching him outside, not only those deep-sea travelers with evil intentions, but also many pirates who disguised themselves and lurked in, all wanting to kill him and find the hidden materials.

Richard shivered as the evening sea breeze blew and he felt the biting coldness on his body.

In the distance, he could feel countless eyes looking at him, like hungry wolves.

But the guards next to him, who smelled of alcohol and rubbed their red noses, could not bring any sense of security.

Sometimes he felt that he was quite frustrated as a manager.

Although he didn't have a boss, it was not as comfortable as being an executive of a Fortune 500 company on Earth.

At least on Earth, he didn't have to worry about being attacked by these hungry wolves after he went to bed and eating him up.

After shaking his dizzy head left and right, Richard gave a few instructions to the guards next to him, and moved his stiff neck to go back to the office for a nap, but just as he closed the door, there was a crackling knock on the door outside.

The door opened, and the guard captain Bao Lei walked in from outside in a hurry, followed by a familiar face.

That was the only relative he found in this wasteland, his uncle Xu Leguo.

"Mr. Richard, if your uncle goes out to the casino to cause trouble again, we may not be able to save him next time."

Feng Long said directly with a dark face, and turned his head to glance at Xu Leguo.

The middle-aged man was drunk at this time, but he showed a flattering smile when he saw Bao Lei looking at him.

Obviously, he also knew the recent situation of the post station, and did not take advantage of Richard's power.

"Captain Bao Lei, you don't have to be angry, what happened?"

Richard did not show the posture of some time ago, but apologized in a puzzled way.

Some time ago, he was still forcing this group of thugs to fight the pirates, trying to show his attitude as a manager.

But with the arrival of the disaster and the increasing number of outsiders.

As a manager, Richard can only unite all forces to maintain the order and rules of the post station as much as possible.

This group of small groups that may have assassinated the post station intelligence officers were also included in his selection.

However, after a period of changes and various emergencies.

If it weren't for the man and his brother across from me, the Giant Tree Root Station would have changed hands long ago.

No one would have thought that these dozen people were so powerful that they could suppress a riot of hundreds of people.

In addition, they trained a group of people privately, and now the security team has barely expanded to 300 people.

One hundred of them were his former confidants, and the other two hundred were all Bao Lei's people.

If you offend this guy, maybe you don't even need the "hungry wolf" outside to take action, I'm afraid you will be dealt with by the captain of the guard now.

"Don't you know what happened? This is not the first time!"

If he didn't have to play along with Richard now, Bao Lei would have wanted to beat them both up.

"He, Xu Leguo, owed someone two thousand seashells last time at the casino and refused to pay it back. You settled the debt for him."

"It's only been a short time, but he's getting worse. This time he owes someone five thousand!"

"How much?" Richard's eyes widened.

"Five thousand!"

"Then send him back. I can't afford five thousand."

Richard's nose was crooked with anger, and his head shook like a rattle.

Seashells are the common currency of the post station and the value currency used by deep-sea humans.

According to the current market conditions, a normal person's monthly food consumption is only about fifty seashells.

This Xu Leguo is absolutely crazy. He dared to go to the casino and lose the food rations of one hundred people for one month.

The most important thing is that he has no money. The owner of the casino must have given Xu Leguo the quota for his "face" as a manager.

Or some hungry wolves can't get supplies from him, so they can only save the country in a roundabout way and start from Xu Leguo.

"Don't, nephew, you are my only relative. If you send me back to the casino, they will definitely beat me to death!"

When Xu Leguo heard that Richard was going to send him back, he was sobered up instantly.

Of course, he was just pretending to be drunk, just to see if he could get away with it from Richard.

"They set a trap for me, yes, they did it!"

"They told me that the post station was short of weapons. As long as I can win, they will go to the next sea area to find a batch of weapons for us. That's why I blocked them."

Xu Leguo said bitterly.

What he got in return was

"You idiot!"

Richard cursed angrily, and he almost wanted to kill his relatives for the sake of justice without even needing Bao Lei to sell it.

The giant tree root station lacks weapons? Is this an excuse that carbon-based creatures can come up with?

The Metal Sigh disaster is not over yet, and the only weapons that can be used are wooden crossbows and wooden swords.

It is true that the station lacks these things, but even if there are really a hundred or even five hundred more.

Can it change the situation?

This Xu Leguo's brain is really filled with horse urine like a toilet, and the ghost excuses he came up with sound stinky.

"You owe so much money, you should find a way to pay it back. I have already paid you back nearly ten thousand, and this time it's five thousand again. If I help you pay it back, maybe you will even lose my station next time."

"Don't, if they know that I can't pay it back, they will definitely catch me and beat me to death. Richard, Richard, my good nephew, you know that your uncle's mouth is not so tight, what if I accidentally tell the location of those things?"

Location?

Richard's face changed slightly.

"What are you talking about, what is that?"

"Just go southeast"

"Enough!"

Surrounded by the stench in the air, looking at the uneasiness on Xu Leguo's face, Richard stood up from his seat.

His face changed again and again, and finally gradually cooled down: "I will help you pay it back this time, but if there is a next time, you know the consequences."

"I know, I definitely know, I will never go to gamble again!"

The casino was dark and airtight, and the smelly people inside frowned, he would never go again!

And Xu Leguo knew in his heart that if he threatened Richard like this, his future life might not be easy.

But there was no way, who made him be deceived into the casino again?

"Captain Bao Lei, I will prepare the money, please send my uncle to the water dungeon and lock him up alone."

"No one can see him without my order!"

"Understood."

The source of the conflict was solved, and Bao Lei was too lazy to care about these things, and immediately twisted Xu Leguo away.

Watching the two figures go away through the window until they disappeared from sight

Richard frowned, rubbed his temples with his fingers and sat down.

The relatives in this wasteland are really troublesome. If you don't pay attention, you will make a mess.

Although Xu Leguo led people to work diligently in the early stage of the construction of the post station and made great contributions.

But Richard didn't think that these contributions were his capital for doing evil now.

Especially he dared to threaten him with the place where the materials were stored.

By the way, how did he know it?

When he thought of the consequences of his material warehouse being dug out, Richard's eyes became more serious.

A bold idea emerged from his heart and grew in just a few minutes.

At this time, it happened that the door was opened again.

One of his confidants, Marcus, the deputy captain of the guard team, walked in.

Marcus was a bear man, but because he lived on the border for many years, communication was not an obstacle.

And stimulated by the harsh environment, his figure was extremely tall, more than two meters tall.

Although it looks very bulky and easy to become a target when modern weapons can still be used, it is one of the facades of the Giant Tree Root Sea in the recent cold weapon stage.

When those passing travelers have disputes, as long as they see Marcus coming, they will leave tactfully.

It can be said that Richard can still sit in the position of manager now, and Marcus also has some credit.

"What's wrong, isn't it my uncle who caused other troubles again?"

Richard put down his hands rubbing his temples and said with a headache.

"Yes, Mr. Richard, you guessed it."

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what happened."

"Now the whole post station is saying that your uncle has an affair with pirates and secretly gave them the defense map."

Marcus repeated the rumor in a muffled voice.

Roughly speaking, several passing traveler teams have been attacked by pirates recently.

These cunning pirates didn't know what means they used to bypass the hidden players on the sea and found the defense gap to launch an attack.

The damage was so severe that these people suspected that it was their uncle Richard who was selling the news.

After all, his lavish gambling during this period was obvious to all, as well as the bragging he made.

It was not difficult for people to wonder where all the money came from.

"It's really troublesome. How could we have the deployment map of these idiots, let alone my uncle's."

"You just want to frame me and let me, the manager, clean up the mess, right?"

There were many voices in the post station about going out to fight the pirates, but no one actually took action.

Everyone is not stupid, but no one will take action for the benefit of others.

The reason why they stayed here is that they were afraid that the New World would be more dangerous, so they collected information for a while.

After confirming that there was no problem, a large number of people would immediately pat their butts and leave.

"I thought so too, but now they all want you to give an explanation."

"Give a shitty explanation." Richard glanced at him: "Why do you care about what they do? If you like to say it, just say it. Anyway, we will ignore it."

"But they have evidence of the contact between your uncle and the pirates. I have seen it. The evidence does not seem to be fake. So, now there are nearly thousands of people denouncing it!"

Thousands of people denouncing it?

Richard was stunned, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and became cautious.

Speaking of which, why had he not heard of this news before?

As a manager, Richard admitted that his control over the post station was less than one percent of what it was before.

But it didn't make sense that he would only know about this news, which was known to tens of thousands of people, through Marcus now?

"It suddenly broke out today." Marcus replied patiently, and took out a few sheets of paper from his arms.

"I asked them to copy the evidence, please take a look."

"Is that true?"

Richard frowned and took the white paper, and began to read the information on it carefully.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, but you will be shocked when you read it.

He originally thought that it was just someone outside who was framing Xu Leguo and trying to use false information to blackmail him, the manager, for supplies.

But after a real look, it not only gave the time and method of Xu Leguo's contact with the pirates, but even the information during the contact was dug out!

Could it be that the reason why the post station was frequently attacked before was because of Xu Leguo?

Richard himself was shocked when he had this idea.

Before there were so many foreign travelers, the Giant Tree Root Post Station had a headache because of the pirates who came and went like the wind.

The other side always managed to catch their gaps in defense and then launch a sudden attack.

He had guessed whether there was a pirate spy in the post station, but he never thought that this person would be his uncle.

"What do they want?"

"Hand over Xu Leguo to them, and then you, the manager, will compensate everyone for their losses."

"Bullshit." Richard shook his head without hesitation and said directly: "Why should I compensate for the pirates' behavior?"

"But he is your uncle."

Marcus replied in confusion.

"What's wrong with uncle? You came just in time. I need you to help me find someone to enter the water prison."

If everything had not happened now, 5,000 seashells would be considered a big loss, but considering that he was his only relative.

Richard might have gritted his teeth and helped out as a last act of kindness.

But Xu Leguo threatened with the supply point, and now he is very likely to collude with the pirates.

He can't stay.

He must be killed as soon as possible.

This will not only save 5,000 seashells, but also avoid future troubles.

It's simply killing two birds with one stone!
