Chapter 1125: A Visit to the Wasteland of ‘Involution’!

Don’t even mention five jin, even fifty or five hundred.

For the Tundra Fleet whose cabins are about to burst, these are all small numbers of equal significance.

“Don’t keep me in suspense, if you answer well, I will naturally give you an extra reward.”

“Thank you, boss, thank you!”

The man nodded and bowed, a hint of joy flashed across his face, and he continued to speak quickly.

"There are actually three main reasons why our Giant Tree Root Station is so harmonious."

"First, the terrain around the Giant Tree Root Sea is extremely flat. There are only plains within 300 kilometers of the shore. There are few places that can be used as a station. Therefore, once a conflict occurs here, it is easy for the other party to retaliate in the next migration, which is not worth the loss."

"Second, it is better to have less trouble than more. The forces fight to the death mainly for resources. But there are not many resources to plunder in the Giant Tree Root Sea. The degree of barrenness here is beyond imagination. And the supplies in the hands of people like us are for life-saving. They also know that if they dare to take them, they will definitely be retaliated to the death."

"Third, there are no guns now, and no one maintains order. Everyone uses cold weapons. Most of the time, they fight with a fierceness, so even if the strength gap is a bit large, not many people are willing to jump out and be the first bird to stand out."

After listening to the well-reasoned argument, Lu Yongyi nodded slightly.

The reason why the post station on the sea is chaotic is indeed related to the ability to escape after a conflict.

Most people just make a quick buck and leave, which naturally makes the post station restless.

But the post station on the shore is different. If you escape here, you can only go to the New World. You can't go to the deep sea in the opposite direction.

"So, if the disaster ends in two days, there will be chaos here?"

"You can say that, but it takes time to make hot weapons. The peace here can at least last for half a month."

The man sighed, as if he had anticipated what would happen in the future.

No wonder he thought so.

When there were no guns, some conflicts and conflicts would be pushed and shoved a few times, and at most a fight would be over.

But if they were given a tool that could take people's lives in an instant, you would know from the cases in the United States.

And the most important thing is that the Giant Tree Root Post Station has no order constraints, and the position of the manager is still vacant.

The 500-member security team may be fragmented after a few conflicts, leading to a further deterioration of the situation.

With deep thought, Lu Yongyi then focused on asking a few more questions about the New World.

But just as he expected, most of these people's information also came from the chat on the world channel.

Most of the intelligence has doubts about its authenticity.

However, in terms of the breadth of information, the man actually collected more intelligence than those people on the fleet.

"I see that you have collected quite comprehensive information. So, do you want to work for me?"

"Food and lodging are provided, and the reward is 30 kilograms of rice and flour per month.

Hearing Lu Yongyi's recruitment, the man couldn't help but smile shyly, coughed lightly, shook his head slightly and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, I have no intention of joining any forces for the time being."

"I'll give you a little more, 45 kilograms per month?"

"It's not a problem of materials. You know, not everyone wants to live a stable life."

"Stable" Lu Yongyi pondered the word over and over again, and suddenly nodded: "Okay, I get it. "

It seems that the other party is quite ambitious and does not intend to be an ordinary person in the wasteland, but has his own ideas.

In addition, this peace is of course an irony.

According to the information provided by the man just now, the post station will inevitably begin to be in chaos after the disaster.

The tundra fleet with a large amount of supplies will inevitably bear the brunt. Not only the three forces of the post station, but also the individual people may focus on the fleet.

Joining now is too dangerous.

For those who have already arrived at the edge of the New World, they are seeking opportunities, not uncertain risks.

"What's your name?"

"Yuanbao, sir, you can just call me Xiaoyuan."

"Come here, go and get him 50 kilograms of rice and flour. "

With a big wave of his hand, Lu Yongyi walked forward domineeringly, leaving Yuanbao alone in surprise.

Since the area around the Giant Tree Root Station is about to be in chaos.

The more news you can get before that, the more beneficial it will be for the future.

As for the danger,

Maybe for Yuanbao, the collapse of order at the Giant Tree Root Station is a life-and-death crisis.

But for the Tundra Fleet, which has experienced dozens of battles of all sizes along the way, it has seen all kinds of storms.

The fleet also stopped for repairs for a few days at the station that was more chaotic than what Yuanbao said.

What's more, after the disaster is over, the weapons of the large forces must be built first, and then the individual people will be the next.

What's there to worry about?

"Zhang Long, go and make an appointment with the bosses of these three 10,000-person forces for me, and say that I want to meet with them to discuss cooperation. "

"Understood. ”

Zhang Long, who used to be the deputy captain of the fleet at sea, is still the deputy captain of the fleet now that the size of the Tundra Fleet has increased several times.

“Besides, there is a security team here. Contact them and tell them that we want to provide them with some supplies and thank them for their efforts in the Giant Tree Root Station during this period of time.”

“Huh? Isn’t that security team only 500 people? I’m afraid that chaos will break out next…”

"Don't underestimate them. Although this Yuanbao sounds simple, if you think about it carefully, there are 800,000 people in this station. Even if you are just helping others clean up the ground and clean up the aftermath, it is not something that can be easily done."

"If it were you, could you lead someone to occupy a legitimate seat among so many forces?"

Zhang Long couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and the contempt in his heart disappeared instantly.

Indeed, after hearing the news about Yuan Bao, he subconsciously regarded the security team as a leveling tool for major forces, and didn't take it too seriously.

But now that I had reacted, I instantly discovered the clues.

If the security force is just a tool, then why don’t these three powerful forces with 10,000 people recruit their own people to serve as the security force?

Wouldn't it be more convenient for one of us to have legitimate management authority over the station than to do it secretly and secretly now?

"I understand. Later I will take someone to deliver the supplies in person and check the other party's level."

"Very well, I'll leave this to you."

The mission goal was clear, and Zhang Long moved quickly.

It only took less than two hours to complete the negotiations with three families and thousands of people, and agreed on a meeting time.

In fact, even if he didn't take the initiative, these three companies would probably send people over in the afternoon or evening.

Facing the foreign dragon crossing the river, everyone showed due kindness.

After handling all this, Zhang Long returned to the material warehouse and sent someone to fetch a batch of materials according to the size of the security team.

The quantity is not large, and based on the current currency-food supplies, it is probably enough to feed 500 people for about a week.

But as a gift for the first meeting, the portion is already enough!

"Where is the security team stationed?"

"Over there in the ghetto."

"Ghetto?"

"I heard that after the area of ​​Jushugen Station was expanded by external forces, the former old station area became a gathering place for refugees."

"Oh." He responded dullly, and Zhang Long led more than 20 people, carrying supplies and walking towards the target direction.

Along the way, many individual players saw it with undisguised salivating in their eyes.

But it was clear that these people were dragons crossing the river that had just arrived in the morning, and no one dared to come up to beat the autumn wind.

It passed the three areas of the dock, the new area, and the maritime market very smoothly.

As the wooden planks laid on the sea became obviously old, the slums where the security team was stationed arrived!

According to the information obtained.

The Giant Tree Root Station was established in the wasteland in August of the first year, not long after winter.

At first it was just a small fish farm built offshore for more convenient fishing.

Later, when the number of people increased, it was turned into an inn and more business started.

But in terms of early construction, the conditions of Xiaoyu Village were much worse.

As soon as he stepped onto this area, an obvious shaking sensation came from the soles of his feet.

In other words, after wandering on the sea for more than half a year, everyone has already become accustomed to it. Otherwise, when they first traveled to the wasteland, they would probably become dizzy and fall to the ground in a few moments.

"Brother, do you want to come in and play? I only need half a catty of rice and noodles, and I will keep them to make you comfortable!"

"Do you need a guide? I am familiar with the roads here. I can help you find whatever you are looking for."

"Boss, do you want someone else? I'm very familiar with water. I only need to take care of three meals a day and I'll help you."

""

Compared with the blooming flowers on the dock, most businesses in the slums are 'human power' businesses.

Various faces in shabby clothes stood on both sides of the deck, with pitiful expectations in their eyes.

Zhang Long glanced at them and found that these people were either elderly or disabled.

Compared with ordinary people, their disadvantages are too obvious.

Especially in a chaotic and disorderly system, disadvantages will become more prominent.

"Someone will lead the way to the security team, half a catty of rice and noodles."

Before he finished speaking, several people rushed out from beside him.

After selecting someone with a kinder face, the team walked towards the interior of the slum.

The terrain of this slum may not be complicated at first, but as more and more people pile up debris in the passages.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the team finally walked out of this densely populated area.

Ahead was a place blocked by a fence. Two guards on duty stood at the door. They were startled when they saw the crowd coming, and they quickly cheered up and came forward.

"What are you doing? If you want to report a crime, go to the detachment. Outsiders are not welcome here!" The one who said it was the guard on the left. He was short and lean, with skin tanned by the sun and wearing a slightly worn black jacket. T-shirt, wearing a pair of ripped jeans on the lower body, and the left side of the shoes on the feet was rotten, exposing half of the bare soles of the feet.

They don't look like security forces, they are obviously no different from the refugees outside.

Even the weapon was a wooden short crossbow that looked unthreatening when placed aside.

"Sir, the road is here, I'm leaving first!"

The leader hesitated, turned around and ran away.

For those members of large and small forces, the security team may not be worth mentioning, it is just a tool.

But for people like them in the slums, it still has a certain deterrent effect.

"Hello, we are from the Tundra Fleet and would like to visit the captain of the security team."

Zhang Long went up and explained his intention.

Upon hearing that it was the vice-captain of the dragon that crossed the river in the morning, the two guards looked at each other and immediately put on a kind and humble smile on their faces.

"Since you are Deputy Captain Zhang, please come in. It's getting more and more chaotic outside recently!"

Pushing open the fence gate, the guard who spoke before hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.

Soon they arrived at a simple and poor station.

There are about 30 small wooden houses built together in the station, which are arranged in three rows. They should be the guards' dormitories.

On the other side of the dormitory is an empty training ground, which is not large, only about 200 square meters.

Some training facilities of unknown function are placed in the corner.

More than 20 people are standing inside to train, shouting and killing from time to time.

"You guys are training well?"

Zhang Long squinted his eyes for a while, and asked generously: "It looks like the fighting skills in the army. Has anyone served in the army?"

"Oh, there are indeed a few old soldiers who took us to practice blindly. But in today's world, practicing these is just for psychological comfort. If you are really targeted, I'm afraid you won't know how you died."

"You can't say that." Zhang Long paused and smacked his lips.

"Keeping fit can always increase the chance of survival."

"Alas, this is indeed the truth, but it's a pity that Confucianists use literature to disrupt the law, and knights use force to violate the ban. If everyone holds this idea to train fighting skills, it will only make the environment more dangerous, and the death rate will be higher after the conflict breaks out. On the contrary, it is not as safe as if everyone maintains the status quo a year ago."

If one person practices and the other does not, there is of course an advantage.

But if both of them practice, but think that the other has not practiced, that would be bad.

Speaking of involution at work in the civilized era, involution is also involution in the wasteland.

It's just that the former failed involution and lost his job, while the latter failed involution and directly lost his life.

Zhang Long nodded and acknowledged this truth, "I forgot to ask, what should I call you?"

"Just call me Xiao Sun."

Leading everyone to a larger wooden house and sitting down, Xiao Sun poured a glass of water for everyone and said again.

"The captain hasn't come back yet, but we have notified him. Please wait for a while."

"It's okay."

Pick up the broken bowl with a chip and drink a sip of water, Zhang Long waited patiently.

More than half an hour had passed before Bao Lei hurried over from a distance.

It was not difficult to tell from the fine sweat on his head that he had never guessed that this group of people would be willing to come over and contact him.

After all, the three 10,000-strong forces at the post station were all ordering him around.

If they really wanted to see him, sending someone to notify him would be considered a courtesy.

It was truly unprecedented!

"Your distinguished guest has come from afar. Please forgive us for the poor hospitality of the security team!"

As soon as he entered the door, Bao Lei apologized loudly, and observed the reactions of these people with his eyes.

But what surprised him was that these people all had kind smiles, and there was no arrogance at all.

Is this still a group of people who have crossed the river?

"No, no, I'm really sorry to bother you, Captain Bao."

Zhang Long smiled and stood up, extending his right hand.

"We are the new Tundra Fleet. I heard that Captain Bao is in charge of the security of the post station. Seeing is believing. Captain Bao is no ordinary person!"

"No, no, you are so polite!"
