Chapter 1401: Foresight and Corporate Change!

The quality of life of the survivors living around Hulai City is obviously better than that of other areas in the southern fire area.

The houses on both sides of the tributary are not neat and tidy, but at least each one looks solid and reliable. There are no dilapidated houses that are about to collapse, nor are there any buildings scattered here and there.

What is even more striking is that, just in the outer part, many houses have been built with solid walls. This behavior is not only a definition of personal space, but also a clear signal that the survivors intend to live here for a long time and live in peace.

"It seems that the company is not as stingy as the rumors say..."

Chu Chaofei nodded in thought, his eyes slowly swept around, and based on the actual situation that can be observed with the naked eye, he tried to infer the real situation behind it.

If the company is really as stingy as the rumors say, and is indifferent and indifferent to the survivors, then the people who stay here will never make the decision to stay in such a short time.

After all, in the wasteland environment that is still full of opportunities and challenges, the choices of survivors are often more radical, and they will try their best to find a suitable place to settle down.

But think about it, according to the scale of the enterprise, even if it just slips through their fingers, it may be a precious opportunity to change the fate of ordinary survivors.

"Prepare to dock at this fishing village. We will inquire about the situation at the outermost edge a few days ago and go in after we understand it."

Feng Long commanded, and the two sampans began to leave the center of the river and row to the shore.

In the intelligence obtained, Hu Lai City divided the surrounding areas according to the distance, with a level of five kilometers per level, and a total of four areas were divided.

The closer to the interior, the higher the regional level, and the more difficult it is to obtain the qualification to enter.

And the small fishing village where the sampan is currently docking may not even be ranked in the fourth area, or it is stuck on the edge of the fourth area.

According to common sense, the people here should be the least xenophobic.

Facts have proved that Feng Long's guess is indeed correct.

There were still two people on duty at the dock of the small fishing village at night. After discovering the two sampans approaching, they not only did not show any panic, but also enthusiastically directed the boats to dock.

When they were about to dock, the dark middle-aged man with a swollen neck threw out a hemp rope, and Feng Long took it quickly and tied it to the protrusion on the bow of the sampan for fixing.

"Brothers, you don't know me, are you from outside?"

In the light of the fire, the middle-aged man looked around and found that there were women on the two boats. He couldn't help but speak out.

Fishermen don't take women with them when they go into the water, even if they are their own family members.

After all, no one can guarantee that in this chaotic world, they will not run into a fool with a horny brain, causing unnecessary conflicts and frictions.

"Yes, we came all the way here. We heard that the company was here and wanted to try our luck."

After fixing the other boat, Feng Long climbed onto the dock and chatted with the middle-aged man with a big neck.

It is said that rich families are happy in everything, and wealthy families are prosperous in everything.

The order around Hulai City is not as chaotic as the outside world, and it develops relatively rapidly, resulting in the mental outlook of the survivors who are rooted nearby being completely different from the outside world.

"Then you have found the right way. People who come here are all coming for the enterprise." Big Neck said and helped to pull the sampan, with an extremely friendly attitude.

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 be seen as not ordinary survivors.

Survivors who came to the vicinity of Hulai City with the hope of trying their luck would naturally not be stupid enough to offend such people.

"You are lucky. In two days, at the beginning of the month, it will be the window for newcomers in Hulai City. When the registration information is completed, you can immediately receive the benefits of settling in."

"There are still benefits? Didn't the enterprise not care about the life and death of the survivors?"

"That's all in the past tense. It seems that you don't know the current situation." Big Neck laughed twice, and hesitated to speak.

Feng Long's eyes rolled, and two hard candies came out of his pocket and handed them over. The latter took them with a smile, and when he saw that they were hard currency, his attitude became more friendly.

"Before, the enterprise did maintain an obvious avoidance attitude towards us, that is, no matter whether the survivors live or die, they stubbornly believe that there is no value in us that can be used, and contact will only waste time. Therefore, they don't even allow us to approach the surrounding areas of Hu Lai City. Even if we go over to take a look, we will be forced back by the guards."

"I just don't know if there are too many people gathering here. The enterprise has finally been unable to ignore our existence recently. Some time ago, it had to make an experimental decision to divide the surrounding areas into four different parts to manage and restrict the survivors from further contact with Hu Lai City.

But guess what, it was originally out of helplessness and expediency, but it unexpectedly made them taste the sweetness."

Big Neck looks like a rough man, but he didn't expect to speak in a set way.

"During the zoning process, many survivors who were waiting to play dumb finally showed their abilities and value in order to advance to higher-level areas. Some of them even showed abilities that attracted the attention of the companies. This made the companies realize that we survivors are not completely useless, and actually have great potential and value that can be utilized."

"Therefore, the attitude of the company towards us has changed significantly in recent times. Not only has it started to launch a series of policies that are beneficial to survivors, but it has also opened up a lot of welfare distribution. The settlement welfare I just mentioned is one of them."

"Hey, if you say that, why don't you see any relevant information on the world channel..."

Xi Ruyue also came up, and when she heard the words, her heart moved and she hurriedly asked.

If the company can really do this, the survivors will definitely move and come in large numbers.

But in reality, there is no relevant news, including some topics discussed recently, the image of the company is still stingy and extremely stingy.

"Sister, bad news spreads a thousand miles, and good news doesn't go out."

Big Neck looked at Xi Ruyue in surprise: "Isn't it enough that more than 200,000 people around are competing with you for welfare benefits? If you send the news to the world channel, will the people who see it think of your kindness and give you material rewards?"

"Everyone who can come here is smart. Even if there are a few idiots who post it occasionally, no one will believe it."

Damn, it's too real.

In the past, those messages were just the survivors' indifferent complaints, and occasionally one or two words could be seen speaking for the company.

No wonder the reputation of the company in the world channel 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 grab the quota!

"There is another reason, as you can see. 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, where will they live?"

Having taken the benefits, Big Neck did not hide his private information. Anyway, these are all news that can be easily found out.

And the reason why he is willing to stay at the dock at night is that he wants to earn some supplies with the newcomers to supplement the family expenses.

"You just came here at night, and it's probably not easy to find a place to stay for a while. Consider it, do you want to stay at my house for a few days? We have three houses, all brick houses. My brother and I live in one of them, and the other two can be rented to you for a short period of time."

"You can rest assured, we just want to earn some supplies, and we have no other ideas." The tall and thin man behind Big Neck also said.

It turned out that this person was Big Neck's younger brother. No wonder he didn't interrupt the whole time.

Everyone looked at each other and thought it was a coincidence.

Originally, the group planned to make do in the wild tonight, and then ask for information to find a place to stay tomorrow morning. Now someone took the initiative to offer it, which was naturally good.

After some price negotiations, they finally reached a deal with ten kilograms of coarse noodles and rented two houses for a month.

Looking at the extremely excited expressions of the two people, the price should actually be too high.

However, when they are away from home, they can spend some insignificant money to avoid trouble, and they will not suffer any loss.

"You stay here, I will take them home to rest."

Arranged the younger brother to continue to work at the dock, and the big neck picked up the fishing rod, carried it on his shoulder and walked in front to lead the way.

Not to mention that the two brothers can build three brick houses in the wasteland, this brain is definitely far beyond the average person.

Earn one cent on duty at the dock, take the opportunity to earn one cent by night fishing, and make money by encountering survivors passing by.

Earn three times the money for one job, who else can make money if not this?

Leaving the dock and walking towards the fishing village, there is a long wild trail.

Feng Long looked back and forth, quickened his pace and chased after him.

"You are very brave, aren't you afraid that we will take over your nest?"

People who are used to walking at night are a little scared when they come to such a place, not to mention that it is still in the wasteland.

However, Big Neck still looks indifferent, as if he is not worried at all that everyone will attack him.

"Of course I am not afraid, you come here to survive, what's the benefit of killing me?" Big Neck laughed indifferently: "Of course if you think you can escape the company's pursuit, you can try it, anyway, I am very relieved."

"No way, the company will still care about such a small matter as the death of a few people?"

"Then if I say that the company will care, do you believe it?"

"You have guts!" Feng Long gave a thumbs up.

Big Neck is sure that everyone is new here, and they dare not act rashly without any information.

"Not really, haha, seeing that you go out with women, you should not be bad people."

This is one of the reasons.

What made Big Neck feel most relieved was that the figures of several people were very plump, including the two women who did not look like they had suffered too much, and did not look like refugees who had been hungry for a long time.

Since they were not refugees, it was impossible for them to force themselves into a desperate situation for the sake of immediate interests without a backup plan.

Crossing the path, it was the fishing village.

After walking back and forth in the village for more than ten minutes, Big Neck stopped at the door of a low bungalow.

"It's here."

The wall was about two meters and three meters high, and it was an earthen wall made of yellow mud and grass roots.

But the three houses inside the door were indeed made of red bricks, and they should have been built not long ago.

There was also an open-air kitchen in the yard, and two black iron pots were 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, these conditions are considered a wealthy life in the super territory.

"I'm just lucky. I always meet a few friends like you, so I can make a living..."

Just liking the surprised look of the foreign survivors, Big Neck led everyone in with a smile 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 you can only sleep on the floor.

But there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is a wall outside, which is much more comfortable and safer than living in the wild.

"This is ten kilograms of coarse noodles. Please weigh it. If it is okay, we will rest."

Ming Wujing took out ten kilograms of black coarse noodles from the bag of supplies on his back and put it in a straw cage and handed it over.

"Okay, okay."

Big Neck took it quickly, not paying attention to the quality of the coarse noodles.

Nowadays, people with stuttering are very good, so what qualifications do they have to care about whether it is black or dirty.

Everyone ignored Big Neck's counting, just closed the door after he went out, and sat on the ground to rest.

Speaking of it, it is also very tiring to take a boat. If you are not down to earth, you always have a light and detached feeling.

"We are so lucky. We met a good person as soon as we arrived, which saved us 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 can be clearly captured.

"Our first step was indeed very smooth, but the enterprise actually began to take the initiative to contact us Earth players. This is probably not good news..." Xi Ruyue also said.

Needless to say, the strength of Hulai City is important, Su Mo has already explained it clearly before.

At this point in time, it is almost invincible, and whoever touches it will die.

Such a giant is willing to lower its profile and take the initiative to contact the Earth humans. Who knows what will happen next? If they also start to study the mysterious power of routes like the academy, it will be a big trouble.

Before the trip, Su Mo explained their two mission goals in total.

First, the eternal poaching!

In this new era full of unknowns and challenges, talents are undoubtedly the most valuable resources.

Those super geniuses that Su Mo is looking for in the future ruins are certainly important, but in fact, 90% of the progress promotion work requires the backbone forces who work silently and diligently to promote it.

These people may not have the dazzling brilliance of geniuses, but they are the most solid foundation of the team. Their continuous efforts and hard work are the important guarantee for the team to keep moving forward.

It just so happens that the enterprise divides the survivors into different areas according to their abilities, saving the trouble of finding people, and just digging in the first-level area is enough.

It would be best if we could dig 180 people back, which would immediately increase the speed of the research institute several times.

Second, we should have a deep understanding of Hulai City and get as much information as possible.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Hulai City is only a medium-sized city for Blue Star Enterprise, no one can ignore a corporate city with a complete industrial chain in the wasteland.

This can be seen from the corporate expedition team sent out, and their strength can still be said to be invincible at the moment.

And because of the advance connection with the foundation, Su Mo did not think of using the company to help develop, because the gap in strength between the two is too big.

Even if there is contact, we must be cautious to avoid being eaten up by the other party.

However, if there is such a day, a great opportunity is delivered to his door, he will not let it go.

Once you can master the various technologies that the company has collected and sorted out for hundreds of years, it is equivalent to saving millions of survival points.

Finding out the news of the company in advance now is to prepare for possible conflicts in the future.
