Chapter 953 Since You Are a Scavenger, There Is Nothing Wrong with Picking up some Equipment!
Three prefabricated houses that provide temporary rest for the villagers were built not far from the chariot.
Logically speaking, the Red Spider Caravan would be the one to take on this job.
But in the end, after totaling the expenses of both parties, Sean simply spent the money and outsourced the work to the village.
Including three meals a day, a total of 350 coupons were spent seven days a week.
Although it was one hundred and fifty coupons higher than the original budget, it still included the effort spent on commanding the lazy guys in the caravan to go out to work.
Sean even felt like he had earned it.
In fact, the members of the Red Spider Caravan are not the kind who work for the caravan in a simple sense and can do whatever they want.
Each of these people who have mastered a large amount of knowledge or skills is a treasure in the Blue Star Wasteland.
Sean spent a lot of money to recruit these people to join the caravan, and promised very tempting conditions in order to succeed.
In most cases, the relationship between them and the caravan is an equal employment relationship.
And if you can spend a little money to make this group of people comfortable, in the long run, it is actually very worthwhile.
As long as they can stand up at critical moments, such as when they climbed out of those mountains this time, those engineers who worked tirelessly every night to repair the damage to the car would be enough to generate hundreds of percent positive income for the caravan.
The three connected prefabricated houses are not much different from those in Hope Village.
Arranged from left to right, the first wooden house is a public activity area, with a washing place and a simple kitchen separated.
The second and third prefabricated houses are living areas, with fifty 5*2 single beds inside. The space may be a little cramped compared to the interior of the Red Spider Chariot, but it is suitable for scavengers who are used to living there. Even more spacious.
Of course, the mattress on the single bed will be shabby.
At present, the territory can't even get enough cotton to make ammunition, let alone make some warm clothes and bedding.
Sean walked in from the door, looked around, and finally cautiously suggested:
"Friends, it has been raining for the past two days and it may be a bit cold at night. I see that there is no heating facility in your house. Don't let the workers get sick while sleeping."
Although all the workers' daily life has been outsourced, this should no longer be a concern for the caravan.
But out of consideration for the workload and wanting to have a good relationship with Tianyuan Shelter.
"At night, I'll have someone bring in a heating facility."
"But you have to find a way to solve the problem of the electricity it uses."
As long as the forces on Blue Star have anything to do with civilization, they strongly reject slavery and will use all possible means to maintain their rule.
Even the plunderers who don't have enough brains will not forcibly sign the refugees from the wasteland to join their ranks.
They know that this retro system will directly stifle human creativity and enthusiasm, and they will bear the risk of possible resistance.
In comparison, it is obviously more cost-effective to select some like-minded people to join the team.
This is true even in Gopher Man's Sanctuary.
Of course, there is no place where slavery is used on Blue Star, but most of it is used on some defeated prisoners or captured members of hostile forces, and is not included in the regular discussion.
Sean traveled all over the country, and at that time he also had the idea of buying some slaves to serve as the bottom of the caravan.
But in the end, he was dissuaded by the slaves' depressed will and the risks they had to prevent.
"Thank you, Mr. Sean, for your kindness. It helps us a lot."
"As for the energy problem, don't worry, we will solve it ourselves!"
Saying that, Feng Long walked over quickly, stretched out his right hand with a look of surprise and the two of them held it together.
Just now, he was planning to set up several stoves in the room to keep warm at night.
It would be great if the Red Spider Caravan was willing to send a heating facility.
As long as you bring some energy stones here, it will definitely be much more convenient to provide heating.
"It's getting late today, everyone will set off soon."
"As the captain of the Red Spider Caravan, let me first tell you about our work goals for the next seven days."
Sean nodded and took out a test tube from his arms, which contained the strange moss in Qinggang City.
Compared to the blue-purple moss growing around the building that Sumo saw for the first time.
The moss in the test tube was purple-red, with a faint hint of black.
"This is our goal. The scientific name given to it by the foundation is: "Calm Neutralizing Moss", and the most commonly used name for it is: Calm Powder."
"Its function is very simple. It has only one function, and that is to reduce the severity of the reaction."
"The newly born Serenity Moss is pure blue, slightly luminous, has low corrosiveness and low toxicity. When it encounters organisms, it will automatically release powder to adhere to it, so please stay away from them as much as possible."
The growing calm moss is blue-purple in color and its light is restrained. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will have a strong corrosive effect. Do not touch it directly with your hands.
The calm moss in its mature stage is the color in my hands, purple-red. "
This was not the first time he spoke to local workers, and Sean seemed to be at ease.
Although the faces of the workers below looked a little "indifferent", and some were even laughing and whispering, he still tried his best to talk about the dangers that may be encountered when collecting calm moss.
"The target you need to collect is the purple-red neutralized moss. The way to collect it is very simple. You only need to use the glass tool that will be given to you to squeeze it out to separate it from the moss blanket, put it into a test tube and bring it back. "
"During this process, the caravan's guards will help you eliminate most of the dangers around you, such as approaching mutant beasts, mutants, and predators. But you still need to be careful of enemies that may suddenly emerge from a certain sewer pipe to prevent just in case."
"The minimum amount of tasks per person per day is 20g. For every additional 10g, your income for the day will double."
"If you can exceed 200g, or collect high-quality calm and neutral moss that is completely red, the caravan's special rewards will definitely not disappoint you."
After talking about the goals, benefits, and incentive awards, Sean turned around and left without saying anything else.
Joseph, the vice-captain of the Red Spider Caravan, walked in and began to hand out tools for collecting Calm Neutral Moss.
Each person has a glass spatula, a glass knife, and three strong and durable polymer resin synthetic test tubes.
In addition, there is a device the size of a bottle cap, and I don’t know what it is used for.
"High-quality calming powder is hard to find. It's usually found in the center of the moss carpet. You must be careful."
"If anyone is injured, be sure to bring him back as soon as possible. The Red Spider Caravan will be responsible for their treatment."
"There are still six hours between now and eight o'clock in the evening. We have to speed up."
Feng Long nodded.
"no problem."
After an hour's rest, the scavengers ate some dry food and quickly recovered from the energy consumed by the journey, and began to assemble the team to prepare for departure.
The injured Luke is receiving secondary treatment and is temporarily absent from the afternoon action.
Craig Darren, deputy captain of the Red Spider Caravan's escort team, is in charge of security.
"The location where we collect calm powder today is within this range. I will lead eight guards to eliminate the surrounding risks first. Please be sure not to step outside this range, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
Taking out a fifteen-inch tablet, Darren drew a red circle on it with his hand.
Ding dong.
The bottle cap device that had just been issued suddenly trembled slightly, and the matte surface emitted a light green light.
"The light is green, which means that your activities are within the protection range and are safe."
"The light is yellow, which means your activity area is close to the danger zone. Please be careful."
"The light is red. Please exit as soon as possible and return to our designated activity area."
"Now, let's go!"
call
After the words fell, nine Raptor Power Armors including Darren rushed out first, rushing towards Qinggang City at a maneuvering speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
This time they did not hide their identities, and the foundation's logo was engraved on the surface of the power armor.
Following these people, Feng Long waved his hand, and the team of scavengers dispersed like a flock of sheep.
According to the previously assigned teams, the fifty people were divided into four teams.
The captains are: Sildenafil, the number one male gunner in the island country, Tao Meng Zhe, Kong Kong Taoist
Depending on the captain's personality and style, the action directions of these teams are also different.
The "Gou" team led by Sildenafil was firmly chasing behind the nine power mechas, with the mentality of preferring less gain than taking absolutely no risks.
The "Gang" team led by the island nation's number one gunner only headed straight for the bungalow area near the beach shelter in the map information, obviously eyeing other harvests that might appear there.
The remaining two teams, Tao Meng Zhe and Kong Kong Taoist, are the current standard "rich team" in the village.
The former has a huge advantage in detection equipment. It has an infrared detector and a biochemical composition analyzer that I don't know where it came from.
The latter received a wave of small investments from the steel plant because they were good brothers with the chief trial officer of Lianmeng Steel Plant, Pu Ling Mozi, and was equipped to the teeth with weapons, equipment, and various tools.
The two teams reached a consensus on the detection and chose to go together to explore the outer edges of the high-rise areas behind the damaged bridge.
Soon, the four teams divided into three directions, and after about ten minutes, they finally entered the western suburbs of Qinggang City.
"Fuck, there really is a city!"
Standing on the outer edge of the light mist, staring at the steel behemoth wrapped inside.
The No. 1 gunman of the island country, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, was stunned and didn't even notice that the cigarette handle in his mouth fell to the ground.
this
Is this an entire city that has traveled through time?
When he first came into contact with map information in the prefabricated house, he had already imagined the city as huge as possible.
But I am really standing here, looking at this lifeless ruins of civilization.
This feeling is still difficult to describe in simple words.
It's different from the fear and unfamiliarity I felt when I first traveled to the wasteland from the earth.
At this time, all that was left in my heart was the simplest fear.
"Be careful, the more beautiful the place, the more risks lurk."
"Don't underestimate every corner. We have to imagine that there are enemies hidden in every dark place here."
Looking at the countless shell craters on the ground of the city, and the strange plants growing in the corners of the buildings.
Sildenafil became more cautious, tracking the traces left by the power armor on the ground, and instructing his teammates to collect as much information as possible about the ruined city.
This is an undoubted treasure, especially for scavengers.
But at the same time, the danger here can be seen from the attitude of the guards, and it will definitely not be that simple.
If you want to upgrade and get route progress, you have to have a life to accumulate experience.
Without sufficient intelligence support, his choice is still very cautious.
"There are a lot of traces of human life here, very fresh, and the battle may come at any time."
"Don't disperse, try to ensure that you can support your teammates."
The team of Dream Hunters and Kongkong Taoists also entered Qinggang City.
Relying on instruments and habits, they soon found a lot of traces on the ground.
Especially those scorch marks that looked like those left by the battle, and the smell of gunpowder that still did not evaporate after the heavy rain.
Did a big battle happen here not long ago?
"Fuck, there's a gun there?"
After walking a few steps, the old Taoist with a goatee suddenly had his eyes light up and saw a pistol hanging diagonally on the steel bar.
The appearance of this gun is a bit like a Glock 17, with only some water stains on the surface. How could someone leave it here?
"Be careful, fishing enforcement."
"I understand."
Although the dream hunter looks honest and has a mouth full of freshly shaved green stubble, he is as cautious as sildenafil.
He took people to check carefully nearby and confirmed that the gun was really just left here.
The old Taoist hurried forward and took the pistol off the steel bar.
Pushing open the magazine, the bullets inside were indeed empty, and there were obvious marks of firing in the barrel.
Just like those found on the ground before, the marks in the barrel were also fresh.
"It seems that there really was a battle here in the past few days."
"If nothing goes wrong, look around?"
Compared to the so-called mission of the caravan, these "wild" guns are obviously more attractive.
Compared to the powerful wolf crossbow on the back, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if they can find bullets.
How useful can this thing be at a critical moment.
"Damn, there is a submachine gun here, and there are eight bullets!"
"Here is a rifle, hey, why is it broken in the middle, it's really a waste of resources."
"Bullets, I found a magazine here, there are eighteen pistol bullets!"
"Fuck, I'm rich, every time I find a gun, I get 35% upgrade progress."
"It's so cool, at this rate, I'm afraid a week is enough for me to upgrade to the next level!"
Following the investigation of the streets with traces of battle, more and more battle relics were found by scavengers.
There are various guns with empty bullets thrown in hidden corners, and there are many randomly scattered ammunition that have not been collected.
There are blood-stained clothes thrown randomly near the sewer, and there are unknown devices that are not marked as damaged.
"Boss, it seems that our mission today is not this thing?"
Watching the island country's No. 1 male gun search out a large-caliber shotgun from a bungalow, he stood at the door and smiled foolishly.
A scavenger came up and pointed at the empty test tube on his waist and asked nervously.
"What are you afraid of? There are still seven days for this mission. Let's owe him today and find more later."
"Besides, we are scavengers. There is nothing wrong with picking up some equipment!"
