Chapter 945: Cooperation Reached, Disputes Among Mole Men!
"I probably know the current situation, but you know that before returning to the foundation headquarters, we will still act in accordance with the normal caravan rules. Please understand.
"Understood, I know it is difficult for anyone to accept that the world they live in has changed unknowingly in a short period of time. It is not just you. In fact, when we first came into this world, we were just as unbelievable as you are now."
Sumo nodded slightly.
After a period of explanation, it can be seen that Sean believes at least 80% of these words.
The remaining 20% is also rapidly wavering under the increasing evidence.
"Thank you, Mr. Sumo. I am so lucky to meet a reasonable manager like you in this situation. In addition, when I just came here, I found that there seemed to be a lot of people in the shelter? If you don't mind, I would like to hire someone." Some people went into Qinggang City to help us collect some materials."
"There is a special kind of moss there that has high recycling value. If we have arrived in another world as you said, it will definitely become an important strategic material."
"Don't worry, I know there are still many forces in Qinggang City, and my guards will ensure their safety."
"As a reward, we will double the normal salary of external employees of the foundation to each friend, that is, 2 business coupons per person per day. If more materials are collected, other bonuses will be given."
"Commercial securities?"
Sumo smiled and said nothing, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface of the stone table.
"My friend, I must say it again."
"This is no longer Blue Star, and the foundation's bonds are of no use to us. Even in Qinggang City, the purchasing power of bonds is declining rapidly, and it has depreciated by more than ten times."
"Devalued ten times?!"
Sean's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.
But then he reacted, and his breathing became slightly heavier under the power armor mask.
"The commercial bonds issued by the foundation are Blue Star's hard currency. As long as you meet any businessman from other foundations, you can definitely use them to buy a lot of supplies. If you are willing, I can return your money to the headquarters. Report the location of the gathering place, and there will definitely be other caravans coming here to trade."
"Unfortunately, our territory needs more real supplies for the time being. If you come here next time, maybe we can accept some of these colorful banknotes."
Nonsense, the harbor shelter is clearing out commercial coupons, why do you need this thing?
Buying the dip?
If you really want to buy at the bottom, you might as well buy it from the gopher guys in Qinggang City.
Sumo refused without hesitation to exchange his wasteful resources and labor for this kind of thing.
"We can use resources to trade, and we are willing to acquire anything that can help our development. Whether it is food, weapons, or tools, we all need it very much."
"Of course, if you still don't want to believe this fact, then before we trade, you can take people to Qinggang City and ask the forces holding commercial securities to see if they are still willing to maintain the previous goods. It’s worth holding bonds.
"Ahem, this is not necessary." Sean shook his head helplessly: "In the past, we have not encountered gathering places that are unwilling to accept commercial securities, but unfortunately, we did not expect that a wise manager like you would refuse. But according to As you said, our Red Spider Caravan is willing to pay certain other resources in exchange."
"Later, I will give you a rough list of supplies. Don't worry, I won't make any changes to the price and will still trade with you at the normal selling price."
"Thank you very much." After getting the satisfactory result, Sumo was very pleased: "I will pay the corresponding salary to the people you want. And you have to exchange these salaries with materials."
"If other friends in the caravan want to spend money in my territory, they can also exchange supplies for our currency."
Sean nodded.
"As the Romans do, that's not a problem."
"When the supplies list comes out, I will arrange for people to connect with Tianyuan Shelter and conclude the first phase of the deal between us as soon as possible."
After reaching the most basic cooperation, Sean led the three of them toward the camp in a worried manner.
The depreciation of commercial securities means the depreciation of wealth.
The Red Spider Caravan still has tens of thousands of coupons on its books that have not been spent. If they really depreciate tenfold, it will mean that all the efforts last year were in vain.
Coupled with the fact that he was suddenly thrown into a strange world, even after receiving an early warning signal from the foundation, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Let's go, go back quickly."
Turning on the power armor and rushing on at full power, Sean thought for a while, turned to Luke and said:
"Wait until night, take people to Qinggang City and capture a few looters."
"We need to know more information as soon as possible."
"But doesn't the code of our foundation say that we can't attack ordinary people in the city?" Luke asked in confusion.
"I'm just asking you to capture them, not kill them."
Rolling a glance at the big guard beside him, Sean said nonchalantly: "If it is true as the manager said, the world may be in chaos again. In this case, it would be okay to activate our caravan's wartime regulations. It’s not against the rules.”
"Well, I understand."
Luke's dull echo came from beneath the armor.
Breaking the foundation's rules was the last thing he wanted to do.
Once discovered by the General Assembly, the lightest punishment is a fine or dismissal, or even death on the spot.
But there is no other way. As the captain of the Red Spider Caravan, he must handle this dirty work personally.
However, Luke didn't know.
In another place, there was also a person who broke the rules and was sitting on the sofa worrying.
Qinggang City, Pingtan Shelter.
Liu Lu, who has become the master of B-7, is sitting in Jin Dafa's room flipping through the account book.
Compared with the shabby main room of the secondary floor, Jin Dafa's room is undoubtedly much better.
The entire space is about 60 square meters, with bright lights and white walls. It is divided into a reception room for daily office work and a living room inside.
However, enjoying these treatments did not make Liu Lu happy at all.
Seeing the red deficit on the account book, as well as some words clearly marking the time and purpose, he frowned and cursed inwardly:
"Damn Jin Dafa, this greedy thing, he dared to steal the public wealth of the entire seventh floor like this."
"No wonder his stupid uncle was willing to help, and even risked violating the rules of the shelter to send people to assist."
"It turns out that all these things were sent down by Jin Dafa and became tribute."
This is a secret account book that Jin Dafa deliberately hid.
It clearly records every piece of corruption and the economic inflows between him and his uncle Jin Dazhi.
Maybe Jin Dazhi himself is not having a good time, with all kinds of expenses.
Almost every three months, Jin Dafa would secretly deduct some supplies to give to him.
And after the incident last month, Jin Dazhi seemed to have a big leak.
In just this month, the total amount of supplies he asked Jin Dafa to transport was actually more than the whole year last year.
"No wonder Jin Dafa wants to kill me, and it's not just his fault."
"If I find out that there are so many things missing from the material warehouse on the seventh floor, and report it to the manager, both he and his uncle will probably die."
"Both of them are anxious, so they risk going outside the shelter to kill people."
After reading the account book, Liu Lu carefully put it back into the safe, thinking.
With this thing, it is not difficult to drag Jin Dazhi into the water.
The information recorded by Jin Dafa is very detailed, down to the minute, the amount of materials, and how Jin Dazhi arranged people to transport the materials.
Once it is submitted to the manager, Jin Dazhi will not be able to escape death.
But the difficulty lies here. What if Jin Dazhi is desperate before he dies and has to drag himself into the water?
Although this guy has no direct evidence to prove that he killed Jin Dafa.
But according to the character of the tiger hunter, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
Liu Lu shook his head slightly, unwilling to die with Jin Dazhi.
If he hadn't gotten involved with the Tianyuan tribe, it would have been fine. Now the two sides have established a good trading relationship.
As long as this matter can be handled, the B-7 layer will be able to exchange a large amount of materials with a steady stream of industrial waste and restart the depleted material warehouse to its heyday.
And he can also save a large amount of personal materials.
Whether it is used to improve life or as a retreat in the future.
It is much better than dying with Jin Dazhi.
"I have to find a way to meet with Jin Dazhi. It's best to let him know that I have a handle on him."
"No matter what, as long as he can develop steadily for a period of time, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with him."
The head of the B-7 layer is still a head of the layer.
Compared with Jin Dazhi, the material supervisor of the B-14 layer, the status of the two is actually comparable.
And there is a very important point.
Jin Dazhi is a civilian, and he is not good at fighting at all.
As long as this guy accidentally goes to the ground, we can seize this opportunity to do the same thing, which can be said to be a permanent solution.
"Old Lu, come to my office."
Liu Lu picked up the pager on the table and called softly.
After a while, the door opened and the energetic Old Lu walked in.
"Floor leader, you called me?"
"Hey, you are still playing this trick with me, don't disgust me."
Liu Lu paused slightly, and then asked expectantly: "How is it, no one doubts that I collect industrial waste?"
"Of course not, those people heard that I want to help them clean up the space, and they were very happy."
"Well, I almost didn't spend any money, and I collected all the waste on the B-6 floor."
Old Lu became happier and happier, with an expression on his face that looked like he was picking up money from the sky.
"That's good, I will contact those people as soon as possible, and then you will have to take people out for the specific transaction."
"You know, I am the floor leader now, and Jin Dazhi is watching me. He must want to catch my loopholes."
"No problem, I will"
Old Lu's voice has not fallen yet.
Bang!
A faint explosion suddenly sounded.
In the noisy seventh floor, the sound was not obvious.
If the dust on the ceiling had not been shaken and fell down, it would have been almost unnoticeable.
But the next second, a piercing alarm suddenly exploded in the shelter.
Is this
an enemy attack?
After figuring out the meaning of the alarm in his mind, Liu Lu stood up from the stool.
What the hell?
What happened?
Could it be that someone from the harbor shelter attacked us? !
It has been a full ten years since the last warning.
After Liehu became the manager of Pingtan Shelter, almost no one in Qinggang City dared to take the initiative to fight this war madman.
Everyone was looking forward to waiting for him to grow old and die before settling accounts.
But now someone can't help it?
Time did not pause for the alarm, and continuous rumbling began to sound like beans!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
There was a loud bang, and no one knew which floor's exit to the ground was blown open, and the sound of the explosion suddenly magnified several times.
"B-7 floor, floor leader, Liu Lu."
"Now please lead your floor guard team to the ground to participate in the battle immediately."
"Enemy attack, repeat, enemy attack!"
"Our enemy is the harbor shelter!"
The loudspeaker in the office directly connected to the manager's office suddenly sounded, and the voice of Qiao Jacob, the current captain of the Pingtan Guard, came from it.
It was indeed the harbor, and Liu Lu secretly said in his heart that it was not good.
When Liehu ordered the action a few days ago, he had already guessed that there would be such a day.
But he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
"I know, I will take people to the ground to participate in the battle now."
After arranging emergency shelter for Lao Lu, who is now the deputy floor leader, Liu Lu ran towards the combat readiness area.
The entire B-7 floor guard team originally had 65 members.
Except for Jin Dafa who took his 11 confidants to die calmly a few days ago, there are now 54 people left.
After changing to six normal exoskeleton armors, Liu Lu arranged for two confidants to wear two exoskeletons that were under maintenance and some functions were temporarily disabled.
A total of eight main combat forces went to the ground first.
Passing through the passage on the seventh floor, they climbed the ladder to the ground.
As soon as he opened the wellhead and looked out, Liu Lu quickly located the location of the opponent's attack.
"Where is it?"
"Hmm? Where is the B-14 floor?"
The entrance to the ground of the B-14 floor is set in a building in a street one kilometer away.
This method is convenient on weekdays, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend in battle.
At this time, the people of the Harbor Shelter knocked down the outermost defense first.
They don't have to go in, just keep throwing bombs into the passage, and they can force the entire Pingtan Shelter to go out to the ground and lose all the advantages of the terrain.
"Follow my orders, fight in a roundabout way."
"Let's go to that position!"
The sixth sense he has developed for a long time tells him that this battle may not be as simple as he imagined.
Harbor Shelter, their strength is definitely not strong enough to compete with the top five shelters.
Now they dare to take the initiative to launch an attack, it is hard to guarantee that there is no shadow of other shelters behind them.
What if the former enemies of the Hunter Tiger also take this opportunity to settle accounts
Finding a commanding height, Liu Lu calmed down and directly pulled the energy output of the exoskeleton armor to the full value.
