Chapter 177 Chen Ye’s Cooking Skills Revealed (Update 1)

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rain was getting heavier.

The whole world was getting more and more blurred under the curtain of bloody rain, and it was difficult to see the road ahead.

Relying on the [Wanderer Map] in his mind, Chen Ye crossed several streets and followed the shortest path to quickly reach the neighborhood near the Church of the Blazing Sun.

He glanced at the square from a distance. Through the thick rain and fog, he could see that it was almost full of people, as if piled up like a mountain.

The refugees who were seeking refuge went to the square like crazy. Some places were too crowded and they climbed directly to the top.

The homeless people at the bottom were squeezed by the mountain of people, and it was unknown whether they were crushed to death.

This shelter... looked no different from hell.

Chen Ye originally wanted to cross the square and reach the other side of the neighborhood, but now seeing this mountain of people, he immediately gave up the idea in his mind and took a detour.

From the old road on the other side of the square, enter the intricate neighborhood at this intersection.

There are many players hiding in abandoned houses on both sides of the buildings to take shelter from the rain.

You can also see some traces of the killing of indigenous people.

If it is a house of aboriginals, it usually has a title deed and there are rules.

But if you can find an opportunity to set a trap to kill the owner when he goes out, then it can be considered as the capture of this house.

At this time, if you have a "taunt" skill, it will be very convenient.

Chen Ye thought carefully, when he just became a [Wanderer], he unlocked [Poverty Eyes], which seemed to be effective at this time.

Of course... He is now using suona to make sharp sounds, which can also have a similar effect on aboriginals. Moreover, because the timbre of suona is more rogue and the sound is very penetrating, you don't need to enter the house, and you can launch taunts from a long distance.

If it is a low-sequence aboriginal, the probability of being affected by the characteristics will be greater. This method can be used to identify which aboriginals are easier to deal with.

By then, even ordinary players, in the case of teaming, can deal with low-sequence aboriginals well, snatch real estate from them, and thus obtain a place to live.

Of course...

A large part of this Mingke Street is almost occupied by those thugs.

And most of the middle-class natives seemed to have been warned of the danger here very early. Like the Lin family, they chose to migrate far away, leaving behind abandoned old buildings.

Most of the players in trouble can hide in these houses.

And... a small number of natives with stronger strength will stay in this area.

Some players who are looking for death go to these areas, but once they enter, they can never come out.

Mingke Street is close to industrial land. Although there are residential buildings nearby, most of them are old buildings with very retro styles and are almost abandoned.

When Chen Ye came here, he took a glance and found that there were players who went in together in these old buildings. They must be the people in trouble.

Hearing Chen Ye's footsteps...

These players still hid secretly near the window, watching Chen Ye walking through the rain from a distance.

However, Chen Ye quickened his pace and activated the ability of [Wanderer's Boots], and soon left the house behind.

The players at the window looked at each other, feeling lucky that they didn't act rashly.

Judging from the speed of his walk... this ghost passing by is definitely not a good guy!

Players who can survive in Mingke Street know which ghosts can be provoked and which ghosts can't be provoked.

Looking at Chen Ye's walking posture, they did not hesitate to classify him as "must not be provoked".

…………

Suspended in the dark consciousness space, the circular open space in front of the [Wanderer Map] was getting closer and closer.

Chen Ye looked up and found that directly above the large industrial land, in the air, there was a huge arc bubble, covering the open-air dome.

The bloody rain hit the arc bubble and slid down to the side.

There was the property bought by the "Manufacturing Association". As industrial land, it supported thousands of workers and was the most famous force in this Mingke Street.

Even if all the thugs were added together, they would not dare to attack the "Manufacturing Association" at will.

When Chen Ye arrived at the door, Matthew had been waiting for a long time.

Hearing the footsteps, Matthew looked towards the roadside, and saw a figure covered in robes in the bloody rain, who looked very conspicuous in height, and arrived here in one step.

"I thought you would hold an umbrella, but I didn't expect you to be wearing a raincoat."

Matthew looked at Chen Ye who walked freely in the rainstorm, and sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being the number one on the list, and he could even ignore the bloody rainstorm.

If it were an ordinary player, he would not dare to go out at all.

Although a few drops of water on his body would not cause any trouble, but in such heavy rain, who can guarantee that the rainwater coming in the face will not enter the esophagus through the mouth and nose, thereby triggering infection.

No player has dared to try this, so the probability of death and the specific amount of infection are not known for the time being.

"Lucky, this outfit is still somewhat useful." Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard the description of "raincoat".

Thinking carefully, it seems that the ink-colored court robe does have the function of a raincoat. I originally thought it was just a decoration, but I didn't expect it to play a significant role in this rainstorm.

Walking side by side with Matthew, I walked in through the gate.

Under the huge arc bubble, the surface of the behemoth-like ship was covered with trees cut down from the plantation that day.

From a distance, it looks like the entire giant ship is made up of countless pale arms, with a dead skin-like texture on its surface.

Each [craftsman] is surrounding the giant wheel and working continuously.

Looking around, the giant wheel is surrounded by human figures, almost using the power of the entire "Manufacturing Association" to speed up and complete the giant wheel.

"It'll take another day or so."

At this moment, a rough voice came from not far away. Tang Wu moved his burly and broad body and strode over, but his expression looked much more serious than before.

"I have asked the workers to speed up and try to ensure the construction deadline."

"Fortunately... thanks to the help of those friends from the Poseidon Tribe, we were able to create this water curtain to isolate the heavy rain. Otherwise, the project would have been affected."

"Because of this, they haven't eaten for almost a day."

Chen Ye was moved and said: "In this situation, how can we solve the problem of workers' wages?"

Mainly food and water.

After all, overtime work like this should be paid.

But now under the influence of the bloody rainstorm, the operation of the entire City of Destiny has experienced a large-scale crisis. When water sources and food are both problems, how to pay wages?

Tang Wu smiled and said: "Our Manufacturing Association is quite powerful. We once left a water filter purifier. It is not a problem to collect these polluted rainwater and filter it for drinking."

"Of course...this machine was left behind by my father. I searched through the entire manufacturing association's inventory and couldn't find any relevant manufacturing drawings."

"In addition, the Poseidon clan can use copper coins, bones, or certain ancient items to sacrifice, and use the power of Poseidon to bring down normal water sources."

"But now... there are blood-colored clouds in the sky, and it is impossible to obtain water by borrowing rain."

"When the water purifier is purifying this rainwater, it will obviously feel that the machine is under a heavy load..."

"We usually pay workers enough water as wages, but food is still a problem."

When Tang Wu said this, his tone could not help but reveal some worry.

After all, workers obviously feel less powerful without eating.

Although it is said to be one day... but judging from the overall progress, I am afraid that the entire construction period will be completed, not as soon as expected.

"What about your food source?" Chen Ye asked curiously.

"Originally, I purchased it from the players through the [Weird Black Market]." Tang Wu smiled bitterly, "But after the bloody rainstorm, the price of food rose again. The few chefs who were originally there seemed to be affected by the heavy rain. Business has also decreased, resulting in a shortage of food sources in the black market. We can only rely on the food from the previous village to survive for a while. "

"only……"

"The food rations in the camp are about the same now. We can only complete the construction period quickly and rely on your strength to solve this crisis."

Chen Ye glanced at Matthew. From this sentence, it can be judged that Matthew must have revealed the true goal of the ghost ship to Tang Wu. Therefore, he did not hesitate to use all the workers to complete the project despite the heavy rain.

"By the way, the warehouse here is so big, don't you have any inventory of ingredients left over from the past?" Chen Ye suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Yes." Tang Wu nodded and said, "There is still a lot of meat in the ice cave, but it seems to be affected by some pollution. Many workers were eaten by this meat and got into trouble, and there were not many players in the [Weird Black Market] I was willing to buy it, so it just kept sitting there gathering dust.”

Chen Ye's eyes lit up and he said, "Take me to the ice cave. I can handle these ingredients."

Tang Wu glanced at Chen Ye in surprise, then realized something and immediately led the way.

Not far from the factory, a low shed was built, filled with parts and various supplies that were unknown and had no apparent purpose.

Going deeper, there is a large ice cave. It was originally used to stack ingredients. One or two chefs were hired to use the frozen meat to make cheap and delicious workers' meals.

But since the pollution incident, the frozen meat in the ice cave has not been used, and it is all piled here.

When he opened the ice cave and took a look, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.

This full amount of frozen meat is enough to sustain the workers for several days.

"wait for me a while."

Chen Ye stepped forward and took out the frozen meat.

The next second...

His face exploded and he began to process the ingredients.

Tang Wu was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately realized something, turned to look at Matthew, and said with a meaningful smile:

"You guy...it seems like you didn't tell me that person's real name."

"Yeah?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows and looked calm, as if nothing happened.
