Chapter 262: Ancestors
"Border war?" Du Dian was a little surprised. He had vaguely heard these words before, but he didn't have time to understand them deeply. He wondered: "Does it mean the war inside the wall?"
Flynn nodded, "The border mainly refers to the radiation zone outside the fortress. In this highly radiation zone between the fortress and the giant wall, in addition to the beasts that have been eroded by the devil, there are also some savages who have been expelled from the country. Their appearance is similar to ours, but they are huge and scantily clad. They call themselves "ancestors", but we are used to calling them savages. In fact, they are no different from beasts. The mushrooms drink blood, are bloodthirsty and warlike, and even eat their own babies of the same kind, which is extremely cruel! "
"The savages have repeatedly violated the border and want to invade the living area and plunder resources. The duty of the army is to guard the frontier of the fortress and defend against savages and monsters."
Hearing Fulin's words, Du Dian was stunned, but he didn't expect that there were savages living in that desolate area.
"Self-proclaimed ancestors... Do ancestors mean the remnants of the Shangji period? Are they the descendants of the survivors left over from the disaster three hundred years ago?" Du Di was puzzled, "But, the wall Everyone in the house should be the descendants of the original survivors, and if they were the descendants of the survivors, they should live very comfortably and live in the center of the rights of the new era. How could they be expelled to the border? "
He pondered for a moment, but couldn't get a clue. Three hundred years was not long, and it was not short. Perhaps the ancestors of these savages were not directly traced back to the Shangji period, but were eliminated during the early struggle for power within the wall. It's possible that the group of people.
"How many are these savages?" Du Di'an asked Fulin: "It should be difficult to survive in the radiation zone, and if the radiation is too high, they will even be sterilized. In such a long battle, they Not extinct?"
Fulin shook his head and sighed, "Actually, this is the case, but in fact, their numbers have not decreased, but have increased year by year. When the military department realizes this, their size is no longer something that the military department can easily wipe out, and even Relying on fortress defense is hard work, and the military is now very troubled by this matter, which is also the reason why the military has less involved in secret dark transactions with other financial groups in recent years."
Du Dian frowned slightly and thought about it: "Didn't the Holy See of Light intervene in this matter?"
"The Holy See of Light shares the same pair of trousers as the military. Naturally, it is to help the military, but the Holy See of Light has to fight against the Holy See of Darkness. It is too busy to take care of itself. Where can I divide a large group of troops to reinforce the border war." Fulin sighed and said: "In the past few years In residential areas and slums, the military has launched six forced conscriptions, which have already caused public resentment and anger, and the commercial area is relatively peaceful, and there have been no riots.”
Hearing his words, Du Dian was thoughtful and thought to himself: "The Dark Holy See should know some news about this matter. The Temple of Elements prohibits human body research, but the alchemists of the Dark Holy See do not. Maybe the military will secretly entrust the Dark Holy See. Alchemists of the life faction, help them find the secret of the increase in the number of savages. If the savages are bred by themselves, then these savages must have evolved antibodies against high radiation. For the people of the district, it is no less than a life-saving medicine!"
"Besides, this thing is also useful to me."
"I am not a bright physique. If the radiation value accumulates above four points, if I hunt again, the cumulative progress of the radiation value will increase rapidly, and even if I only need to go outside the wall once or twice, the radiation value will soar to more than ten points. The power of the radiation will cause obvious damage to the body, such as skin deformation, body deformity, and even sterilization, which can only be washed by purchasing the Holy Holy Water of Light from the Holy See at an expensive price."
"If this savage really has antibodies against high radiation in his body, it would be an inexhaustible source of holy water of light for me, and it could even fundamentally give me a "bright physique"! "
Thinking of this, Du Dian's eyes flickered slightly and he thought.
Flynn saw Du Dian pondering silently,
didn't bother him. After a while, Du Dian had come back to his senses and asked Fulin, "Has the Mellon consortium invited us to buy this time?"
Fulin was stunned, but he didn't expect him to suddenly jump to the matter of the consortium and said, "No, they should know that the Bron family has a bad relationship with you, and they came for nothing, so they don't want to lose face."
"It should be more than that." Du Di'an said with deep eyes, "They may have already prepared to officially attack us."
Fulin was startled, his face changed for a moment, and he sighed: "You are famous this time, you are giving them a warning, it is the most resource-saving way to get rid of you in the cradle as soon as possible, if they want to do it, the gathering in Songuo Town will The city is a good springboard. In addition, the surrounding cotton industry can also stifle our economy. The small town of Yard is in danger, and the tax revenue is very small. We can only rely on the follow-up dividends of the new textile machines of the Scott Consortium, and The crossbow you sold this time is to support it, but the dry well has no source, after all, it is not a long-term solution."
Du Dian glanced at him and said: "If they want to start, they will never start with the cotton industry, nor will they start with the market in Songguo Town and Yade Town. These are small industries, even if Completely plundered, and not one-tenth of the dividends of a new loom."
Flynn's face changed slightly: "They want to start with the Scott Consortium? They are enemies, so shouldn't they join forces to deal with us?"
"If you can get rid of another thorn in your side, it's not unusual for the enemy to join forces, but Scott will not join forces with them, but will take the opportunity to use this opportunity to sell us well and win us over." Du Di'an's eyes were deep and slow. Slowly said: "An old consortium like the Mellon Consortium, if it doesn't move, acts like a thunderbolt, and uses formal business competition methods to suppress us, the efficiency is too slow, and it is difficult to directly root it, if it uses some dirty dark methods , to crush us is as easy as crushing an ant."
Fulin's eyelids twitched and his face was ugly. This was not the deepest worry in his heart, which made him so worried that he didn't even want to raise it, for fear of being told by himself, but now Du Di'an said it, he knew it was inevitable Things, formal business competition methods, can't help the Mellon consortium to get to the point where it is today. The conglomerate giants standing above many wealthy businessmen are not competing for pure financial resources, but the dark edge and personal connections behind the scenes. .
"They sent people to assassinate you last time, so they shouldn't use this method again this time. If they assassinate me, I'll be an old man. It's okay if I die. They can see clearly that the consortium is relying on you, and It is you who can threaten them, not my old bones." Fulin was silent for a moment, then said slowly.
Du Dian narrowed his eyes and said: "There are too many means to deal with us. We can't guard against them one by one, so we don't need to guard against them. The best defense is to attack. It's not just them who should be shot, but also us."
Fulin was taken aback and looked at him, "We shot? To the Mellon consortium?" This is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!
Du Di'an said slowly: "For us, the Mellon Consortium is a behemoth and indestructible, but the structure of the Mellon Consortium is not a whole. To kill a person from the outside requires a dagger, but to strike from the inside. To kill, just let it swallow a small rusty piece of iron, and it will kill you, and it will not cost you any physical strength."
Fulin was stunned. After a while, he stared at him and said, "Since you have anticipated this, you must have planned and prepared before you became famous. Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?"
There was a smile on Du Di'an's face, and he said: "When the money is in hand, I still need your help to find some helpers for me."
"Help?" Fulin was stunned, "Where can I find it?"
