Chapter 954 In Addition to Labor, We Also Provide "Takeaway" Services

Nine o'clock in the evening.

In the misty night.

Not far from the Red Spider chariot, "laughters and joy" began to appear with the crowd.

Slightly different from when they set out for Sunny Harbor City, the four guards on sentry couldn't help but widen their eyes when they stood on the sentry tower and looked at the scavengers holding various firepower weapons in the fog.

What the hell

Before they set out, didn't they still carry primitive crossbows and some old-fashioned pistols?

Why did they suddenly change their weapons now?

Those shiny rifles hanging around their necks, and the sharp submachine guns on their waists

And there are also damn RPG launchers?

The distance is getting closer and closer, and the guards observe more and more things, and they can't help but be more surprised.

Even Sean, who walked out of the chariot, was shocked by this scene.

Wearing heavy raptor power armor, deputy captain Darren swept past the flank of the team, untied the restraints and walked over.

"Captain, today's collection is about 700g in total. Mature calm powder is not common in the western suburbs of Qinggang City. It seems that we must expand the scope tomorrow and go deeper into Qinggang City."

Sean: "Did they take a predator's arsenal?"

Darren: "I don't know where they got it from. Anyway, Captain Feng Long said that this group of people picked it up from the corner, but considering the battle that night, this situation is also possible."

"Picked it up?"

Sean frowned.

"If we go deep into Qinggang City, our risks will be much greater. Once these people are injured or killed, we may have to pay a huge pension to the manager. Is there no more outside the western suburbs?"

Darren said helplessly.

"According to what we detected today, the calm powder should have been harvested by the mole man recently. We can see obvious signs of picking. We can find these today, thanks to the hard work of those workers who went to some very hidden corners to find them."

"In addition, although the explosion caused by the large-scale battle that night was extinguished by rain, it still affected a lot of calm powder. If we want to collect enough, we must go to the area within the third ring of Qinggang City."

The entire western suburbs are poor in resources and are full of collapsed building ruins.

With the powerful Pingtan Shelter in charge, there are not many predators willing to come here to collect money on weekdays.

Most of the surviving humans eventually concentrated in the central area of ​​the city, relying on some public buildings left over from before the war to survive.

And those mutants are supported by the Pingtan Shelter, and they will not appear here to survive.

So it directly led to the fact that the western suburbs did not look as dangerous as imagined, and even mutant beasts were basically not encountered.

But if you go to the city center and enter the area within the third ring.

For the caravan guards wearing power armor, no one in Sunny Harbor dared to casually target them, so they were still very safe.

But these hired laborers

Sean, who had decided to build a good relationship with this strange shelter, did not want to see any accidents happen at all.

Even if the caravan could afford the pension, it had to consider the series of trust crises that would follow.

"How many people do we have to mobilize to ensure their collection safety?"

Darren was silent for a moment, estimated in his heart and shook his head.

"The hidden dangers in every pre-war city are different. Because this Qinggang City is close to the seaport, the underground pipelines are very complicated. Even if we have swept the threats on the ground, we can't guarantee that there will be no monsters suddenly rushing out from the invisible hiding place. So to ensure that there are no casualties, we have to send at least sixteen people. One team is responsible for clearing the threats on the ground, and one team is responsible for personal protection."

"And the news you got, Captain, should be true. Today, when I was patrolling, I happened to meet a few wanderers passing by. They confirmed that the purchasing power of the foundation's commercial bonds has been rapidly declining, and the depreciation rate is about ten times."

Sean: ""

Yes, the bad news pried out from Jin Dazhi is indeed true.

If it is just that the foundation's commercial bonds depreciated due to some unexpected reasons, the Red Spider Caravan had basically used up the money in the account before this trip, and used it to upgrade the chariot, purchase ammunition, and purchase industrial cores, so the impact is not serious.

But if we look at it from the deep logic of the depreciation of commercial bonds, it means

The influence of the foundation is weakening!

In the short term, the caravan may not be able to pull out the foundation's banner unscrupulously and do things unimpeded.

And they want to return to the foundation headquarters to continue to maintain competitiveness and upgrade more equipment to deal with dangerous situations.

High-value physical objects have become the best choice at the moment.

"The situation is different. We must collect enough calm powder and bring it back to the headquarters. Tomorrow you take sixteen people out. Be sure to ensure their safety as much as possible and don't let any accidents happen."

"Tell these people that our material requirements have doubled and the treatment has tripled. If someone can exceed the target, we will reward them half more than the previous reward!"

There are a total of forty caravan guards. Sending out sixteen people at a time is already close to half of the manpower.

After listening, Darren said with a slightly strange look on his face:

"Captain, based on my observation today, such a reward may not stimulate the enthusiasm of these people?!"

"Oh? Why? Is it because the trade notes cannot be delivered to them?"

Sean was a little confused.

The trade notes outside have depreciated, but what he paid to these people were not trade notes, but goods of equal value.

Is it because the manager took all the salaries of everyone?

If this is the reason, it will be a bit troublesome

"It shouldn't be. I feel that it is simply unattractive." Darren said with a complicated expression: "Their love for firepower weapons has completely exceeded my imagination. How to describe it? The performance is probably not much different from when I first drove my father's power armor when I was 12 years old.

"So I think it might be better to give them some similar physical rewards? For example, they have guns now, we can use tools to help them modify them. Anyway, we don't need to spend any special rare materials, so it's just right for those people in the engineering department to practice. Or let them collect some things by themselves, and we use the printing machine to help them make something. Such rewards may be more tempting? "

"Is that so?"

Sean nodded.

I don't like trade notes and materials, but weapons are fine.

Looking at the things they carried in the afternoon, what Darren said might make sense.

If we can use this cheap

At this time, an inexplicable fragrance suddenly floated over from a distance, interrupting Sean's thinking.

"Damn? ! What's that smell, so fragrant! Is our kitchen preparing midnight snacks?"

Darren raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise appeared on his calm face.

After a busy afternoon, even if the power armor he was wearing had energy supply, it didn't consume much physical strength.

At this point, he was also starving, and he wanted to rush to the kitchen to eat something good.

"Midnight snack, of course there is midnight snack! "

After taking a breath of the smell in the air, Sean's stomach also made a rumbling sound.

Although he had just finished eating less than three hours ago, the food in his stomach had not been digested yet.

But the moment the fragrance appeared, he still lost his mind slightly, and suddenly imagined the most famous "Perfume Fire Rabbit" of Boklozhi.

In the Holy City, the price of that thing is not only as high as 50,000 business coupons, but also more expensive than the price of a mid-range version of the Red Spider chariot.

In terms of other restrictions, it is also outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.

Before eating, you need to make an appointment, and you have to wait at least half a year before your turn.

After eating, if you want to eat it again next time, the price will increase by 10,000 business coupons, and it will continue to increase. Stacked up.

When he passed by the holy city of Bokelo, he was lucky enough to participate in the tasting event and tasted a small piece of meat.

But it was this piece that he had been thinking about for more than five years.

Until now, sometimes he still dreams of the smell that was almost fragrant to the bones.

When did the caravan kitchen make such high-quality midnight snacks?

Sean was more and more surprised and wanted to walk towards the kitchen.

However, when the two turned their heads and looked at the chariot, they suddenly discovered.

At this time, many members of the caravan also poked their heads out of the open windows of the chariot and sniffed the smell in the air.

Look at where they are looking

"Wait"

"Is this smell from the workers' camp? ”

In the open space in front of the mobile house.

A simple stove was set up, and Ma Haoge hummed a little tune while kneading the dough in his hands vigorously.

Next to him, the "vegetarian hunter" who stood out from the chef apprentice route camp was using vegetable oil to lubricate the pot.

Sizzle.

The chopped potato shreds were put into the oil pan, and the water and boiling oil collided violently.

Whoosh

The blower under the stove was powerful, and flames kept coming out from the gaps on both sides.

After stir-frying for a few times, the vegetarian hunter picked up the big spoon and skillfully picked up the seasoning from the chopping board.

Salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar

When it came to the last small bottle, he picked it up carefully, shook it twice, and quickly put it down.

At this time, pour it into the pot and stir it.

Immediately, a strong fragrance spread out along the steaming gas on the edge of the pot.

"Fuck, what's going on, why is it so fragrant?"

"Shredded potatoes, what the hell, is the lord going to give us extra food today? ”

“Do you want money? I exchanged all the money I had on me for equipment when I came out.”

“The wicked old bitch from Ramen Juice is here. I’m afraid he’s going to squeeze a lot of money out of us.”

“I’ll eat it even if you want money. It tastes too tempting, right? ! ”

Smelling the aroma after stir-frying, the guns picked up during the day didn’t seem to smell so good anymore.

The vegetarian hunter who was cooking listened attentively, and a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On Earth, he was just a husband-and-wife restaurant owner in a town, and he was also the chef.

After coming to the wasteland, he thought he only knew this skill, and it would definitely be useless in the future.

But who would have thought that after more than half a year, there would be room for him to play.

Not only did he have the corresponding route to choose from, but he was now valued by the lord and participated in the secret mission.

As long as this potato shreds with "Wanwei Spores" can complete the task,

that's 50 contribution points!

The previous task of digging ditches only gave 1 contribution point a day, and it would take at least more than a year to get enough points to move into the underground city.

And now as long as he can get these 50, the day when he can bring his wife into the underground city and rent a shop to open a restaurant again is undoubtedly a long way closer!

"This is a working meal arranged by the lord. There is no charge. Everyone will have it until you are full!"

"In front of outsiders, please don't crowd. Don't lose the face of our Tianyuan Territory."

Vegetarian Hunter yelled.

Suddenly, the scavengers became excited.

Free buffet, this is the treatment that S-level talents can enjoy in the previous version.

When they went out on a mission this time, they not only picked up a lot of good things, but now they also get this kind of treatment.

I'm super!

It’s so exciting!

"Bring me a big bowl of noodles, I want to eat it with shredded potatoes!"

The number one man in the wasteland carried the porcelain bowl eagerly to the noodle pot.

After being free, Ma Haoge's usually disgusting face turned out to be a bit kinder.

Especially after he took two full chopsticks of noodles out of the pot and put them into the bowl, the male gun brother was so excited that he almost cried.

Of course, I wasn’t moved to tears by the weight.

But I was so greedy for the taste!

Tonight's noodles seemed different from those sold in the market, and there was a strong and strange aroma inside them.

After taking a sip, my stomach seemed to be twitching greedily.

"Thank you. I'll order some shredded potatoes, and some of this cold wild vegetable."

After receiving a vegetarian dish that almost covered the entire bowl from the vegetarian hunter, the male gunman could no longer resist his inner impulse.

While sobbing, he walked towards an open space where no crowd gathered.

Crouching next to Feng Long, who had already inhaled the storm, he took a beautiful breath of the fragrance.

Just when the male gun brother was about to start eating, two figures walking in the distance interrupted his movements.

"friend."

The figure came closer, and the male gunman recognized the speaker at a glance.

He seems to be the boss of this caravan, and next to him is the captain who accompanied them out in the afternoon?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the caravan boss chattering incessantly, the male gunman looked confused and could only turn his gaze to Feng Long.

"You want to eat the midnight snack from our hands?"

Feng Long took a big mouthful of noodles, chewed it, and replied vaguely.

"No, no, our managers have said that food cannot be supplied to outsiders, otherwise unexpected situations will occur."

"Unexpected, no, no, no, my friend, you misunderstood!"

Food knows no borders and tastes resonate.

Sean was about to faint from the fragrance, and he couldn't care less about any accidents at this time.

"I'll buy it. We'll buy your food. Don't worry, we'll pay five times the price of the raw materials, not ten times. We'll buy your midnight snacks at ten times the price."

"You can't even buy it. The manager said you can't provide it to any outsiders."

"How could it be? How could it be an outsider?" Darren, who was equally stunned, changed his words again and again: "We are friends, we are best friends, and friends should share good things with each other, right?"

"It seems to make sense?" After taking another big bite, Feng Long wiped his mouth and replied stubbornly: "But"

"No, but you need permission from your manager, right? I'll let him apply now."

Sean turned his head and whispered to Darren beside him.

The latter turned around and ran towards the chariot as fast as he could.

Half a minute later, a nearly berserk powered suit roared towards the village at full power.

Compared with the 60 kilometers per hour when rushing to Qinggang City, the current speed of the power suit is frighteningly fast, exceeding the speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

About an hour later, Sean was sitting on the ground, cursing under his breath dozens of times.

Darren finally rushed back, holding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, and shouted from a distance:

"Captain Feng, we"

"Takeaway, we need Tianyuan takeout!"
