Chapter 168 This game is probably planned by a P agency
Guns are more convincing than words at any time.
Such as now.
Li didn't take too long to make a decision. He had no doubt that destroying these people in front of him wouldn't even require a charge.
Even though the refugees behind him were not willing, he still tried to persuade them.
"We have no choice, they won't let us go forward and we can't go back."
A ragged wastelander couldn't help shouting: "What if we hand over our weapons and they open fire on us?"
"So what if we don't hand over our weapons?" Li looked at the man and said, "They don't even need a charge to kill us."
The wastelander couldn't argue.
There are more than 180 of them in total, and more than half of them are old and weak, women and children, and the number of young and middle-aged men who can form a fighting force is less than 70...and this is including children over eight years old and under fourteen years old.
situation.
All the firearms add up to only about twenty, and the rest are bows, arrows and spears. These equipment are enough to deal with some predators who are also pulling their hips, but they can only stay far away when encountering strong enemies.
This is not the first time that they have been driven away from other survivor strongholds. Almost no one will open their living rooms in winter.
At least, these people did not open fire directly when they had the ability to destroy them.
This is already the greatest kindness...
After the refugees put down their weapons, Chu Guang asked Wanwan to send two people in to collect their weapons. At the same time, he kept his promise and set up a large pot in the open space at the east gate.
Chu Guang could not give them as good food as the players, but he would not watch these refugees starve and freeze in the cold wind.
He issued a task through VM and asked the tomatoes and scrambled eggs to go to the warehouse to collect 50 kilograms of green wheat and make a pot of porridge for them.
At the same time, let the man who called Li, along with the young and middle-aged labor force who could still work, set up a camp in the open space fifty meters away from the east gate.
The terrain here is undulating, and dead trees embedded in the snow can be seen everywhere. There are also concrete debris and a small amount of building debris that can be used.
Building a shack is a necessary skill for every wastelander, and these people are no exception. After giving them some shovels, carts and other tools, the work went smoothly.
At the same time, the big pot at the east entrance was also set up. As the water in the pot boiled, Brother Scrambled Egg poured all the green wheat into it.
Wheat with an oxalic sour smell is hard to make people want to eat. It takes a while to cook the wheat to get rid of the astringent smell.
But this is for the players.
For those hungry people who are about to starve to death, even a little bit of turbid soup is a supreme delicacy.
The white gas floating on the pot made all the refugees swallow their saliva, and they built the camp even faster.
Standing behind Chu Guang and watching, several players whispered to each other.
"These people look so pitiful."
"It's quite pitiful. Even the children are helping."
"But I didn't expect that people would come to this survivor stronghold just after it was built."
"This works so quickly."
Listening to the whispers of the players, Chu Guang also felt puzzled. Although he ordered the cigarette, he didn't expect that someone would be attracted here just the next day.
Why didn't anyone come when the Pioneer was still there? At that time, there was much more smoke in the camp than now, and his little players got up early in the morning to cook for themselves.
It just happened to come at this time!
If these refugees had come two days earlier, the food would have been much better than now. Those people on the Pioneer were not short of food and clothing, and they were even more pathetic than himself. Chu Guang even dared to bet that as long as he said he could accept it,
These refugees, I believe they will definitely generously support him with a sum of materials.
As for now, Chu Guang can only say that he will do his best.
While the refugees were setting up camp, Chu Guang asked Old Luca to make a census of their population.
There are 187 refugees in total, including more than 61 young men over 14 years old, and the rest are old, weak, women and children, and there are even 5 babies under one year old and 4 pregnant women.
Chu Guang estimated that when their team was at its largest, there should be about three to four hundred people. They may have reduced their number by half along the way.
But even so, their situation is still much better than that of the nomads who settled near the Wetland Park.
If I remember correctly, Brother Iron Ax led his clan members all the way from the north of the river valley province. When they got here, even the men were almost dead, and they were even thinking about their own seeds.
The guards handed over their guns, but they were allowed to keep the knives, axes, and bows and arrows.
According to Wrench's statistics, they handed over a total of 23 iron tube rifles of different calibers, including 5 old-fashioned muskets, which really surprised Chu Guang.
They actually got here relying on these equipments.
It's really unimaginable.
"Sir, I was in their camp just now and found someone infected with typhoid fever." Luka, who returned from the refugee camp, reported to Chu Guang.
Chu Guang: "Is it serious?"
"I'm not sure. Most of them are in poor physical condition. Maybe they're hungry, maybe they're really sick... I can't tell," Luca said cautiously. "I'm worried that they will bring the plague. We have neither
Doctors don’t have enough medicine to deal with this situation.”
After Chu Guang thought for a moment, he nodded.
"I know, I will find a way to do this."
To be honest, Chu Guang actually didn't have any good ideas.
Hygiene issues are not a problem at all for players, at least not a core issue.
Even if you are not a player in the physical system, as long as your level reaches LV7 or above, you can basically have a physical constitution of 6 to 7 points, and this is already 120% to 140% of the working efficiency of the normal adult immune system.
As for Chu Guang himself, his physical constitution has reached 14, and the working efficiency of the immunity system is nearly three times that of a normal person. Not to mention ordinary diseases, it is of no use to him. Even a certain dose of poison and a lighter degree of radiation will have no effect on him.
It can be said that they are immune to a certain extent.
Seeing that the manager understood, Old Luca paused and continued.
"Besides, it's food..."
"you say."
"We provide relief to them according to the lowest standards. More than 180 people consume nearly 50 kilograms of food every day, and their monthly expenses are 1,500 kilograms. And this is under ideal conditions. Although you have never been from pioneering
We got some food from the ship, but this cold winter may last until the end of February or even the beginning of March next year... Our own food is already very tight."
There are now 500 players in the outpost, and their daily food consumption has reached an astonishing half a ton. Sometimes Old Luca really feels that those people are just useless people, with no spirit of thrift at all, and they wish they could eat him twice a day.
Double or even triple the amount.
The current total food reserves of the outpost base are just over thirty tons, of which the corn, rice, and potatoes purchased from the Pioneer account for one-third, and the raw meat, dried meat, and fish caught from hunting account for another one-third.
A third of the time.
The rest are the trophies obtained from Bloody Hand, Old Leech, and part of the tribute offered by Brown Farm.
A conservative estimate is that if the current consumption trend continues, this food will probably be enough to last until the end of the year.
"Food is indeed a problem," Chu Guang thought for a moment, "I will find a solution for this matter."
Just a month ago, the food at the outpost was not even enough to feed dozens of people for half a month.
Big deal.
Just ask your neighbors to borrow some.
…
After the porridge to relieve the hungry people was distributed, the noise in the refugee camp gradually subsided.
Many people had been running all the way and could no longer bear the fatigue. Now their stomachs were full of warm food, and they huddled up in sleeping bags under the shack and fell asleep.
Although they were asleep, Wrench did not dare to let down his guard. He arranged for people to stand on the fence and keep an eye on the situation in the refugee camp.
Chu Guang wasn't too worried.
He didn't even pay attention to the Bloody Hand clan, let alone some refugees?
In the house near the east gate of Changjiang Farm, he met the man named "Li".
This man should be the elected representative, or leader, of this group of refugees.
“Thank you for your generosity!”
After entering the room, Li knelt on one knee on the ground, nodded and said, "Without you, many of us might not be able to survive tonight."
"We don't want to kneel here, get up," Chu Guang continued, looking at the man who stood up, "We can provide you with shelter, but you must have the consciousness of being dependent on others and abide by our rules and customs. At the same time, you must
Clearly, this is not free."
Li nodded.
This is a reasonable request.
No one will welcome unruly guests.
Moreover, before becoming refugees, they once had a home, and they were aware of the unwelcome status of "homeless people".
"What do you need?"
Chu Guang: "It's very simple. Work for us and we will pay you. You can use the payment to exchange for food, fuel, or other things."
Before the B3 layer is unlocked, the number of players is temporarily stuck in a bottleneck. Without new additions, he needs more aborigines to replace the grown-up newbies to engage in low-end, low-value-added recurring income.
.
Although he always teases the players for working harder than animals, it is impossible to treat them like animals all the time.
Moving bricks occasionally is to experience life, and moving bricks every day is work.
After hearing what this adult said, Li's expression relaxed a little, and even showed a hint of joy.
Originally, in his expectation, it would be good to have food to eat. In other survivor settlements, the status of refugees is no higher than that of slaves. As for the compensation, he has never thought about it.
"Thank you for giving us the chance to live."
"All we can give you is an opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you," Chu Guang paused and looked at him and continued, "I heard from my men that you had a survivor settlement before.
In other words, you are not nomads?"
Li nodded quickly and said.
"Yes, my lord."
Chu Guang: "Tell me what you know."
Li immediately said: "We have many skills, including hunting, farming, and weaving hemp ropes. We also have carpentry and blacksmiths... As long as you need it, we can do it for you."
Seeing Li hurriedly selling, Chu Guang nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Hunters, carpenters and other craftsmen are exactly what he needs. As for the blacksmith, with a little training, he can be arranged to enter the steel factory.
Although these labor forces are not as high-quality as his players, they are still better than nomads. However, relatively speaking, the physical quality of these survivors may be slightly weaker, and they do not bring the livestock that Chu Guang wants.
"You guys need to get yourselves settled for the next two days."
"After two days, I will arrange something for you to do."
"By the way, your name is unlucky and easily confused. You can either add a surname to yourself, or I can give you a first name."
Giving a name means acceptance, and it also means recognition of conversion.
Unexpectedly, the lord here was so generous. The man suddenly felt happy and said quickly.
"Please give me a name, sir!"
Chu Guang thought for a while and said.
"Our place is called Changjiang Farm. If your surname doesn't suit you, just give it Jiu, and change the character "Li" to "Li" in the morning.
"From today on, your name is Jiuli."
…

Quit smoking: "Holy shit! There's a new NPC!? The planning dad is awesome!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "I guessed it right. The prosperity is really linked to the NPC population! But this value doesn't seem to be calculated by a fixed formula based on the population, but is driven by events?"
Night Ten: "I suspect that the operator has recruited a P agency to plan and wait for the immutable laws of our ancestors and the comet to come over our heads. (Funny)"

Si Si: "Hey, don't mention it. Ah Wei sent me away first, and he came down soon."
Tails: "Wait, you can't blame Tails! There's something wrong with that rocket launcher, it's not accurate at all! It also spits fire backwards! (?д?;)"
Xiao Xiaoxiao bookworm: "How can a recoilless rifle not fire..."
Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm: "That's because his thing is not a recoilless gun at all. How can it have any deep penetration? It's just a heartless cannon carried on the shoulder."
Mosquito: "!!!This can also involve me!"

Due to the heroic sacrifices of Taiwei and Sisi, I would like to remind everyone that this tube is not just for fun like the mosquito firecrackers. Do not point your butt towards others when firing.
In short, the VM and equipment were recovered.
It's only been three days of OB, so it's not a big problem.
The arrival of the refugees caused a lot of topics in the official website forum, but it did not become the focus of discussion among players as before.
After all, this is not the first time that refugees have come here, and there are so many things that happened today that it is impossible to discuss them.
Makabazi, who received the seeds from the manager, exchanged corn planting techniques with others on the forum.
The mission of Shelter 117, which Brother Mole and Mosquito teamed up to conquer, has also attracted the attention of many players. This mission is suspected to be related to the main line of the game.
Unfortunately, there was little progress today.
The situation below the subway entrance is very complicated.
Just as Boss Xia said, there are at least hundreds of nibblers inside, let alone crawlers.
A "Black Swan" with limited ammunition is simply not enough.
They need more automatic weapons and incendiary bottles, grenades and other projectiles. The situation may be better after the automatic rifles with a unit price of 200 silver coins are officially put on the shelves in two days.
Compared with the bad news that the strategy for Vault 117 has been blocked, the good news is that the second floor of the greenhouse ruins has been successfully captured by the Cow Horse Team.
They successfully controlled the gate between the second and third underground floors, and now the space on the second underground floor of the greenhouse site has also been liberated.
What is incredible is that even after two centuries, the facilities there still maintain energy-saving mode and operate slowly.
Many of the light strips on the petri dishes are broken, but some are still on. The temperature in the room is around 25 degrees, and the spiritual leaves in the petri dishes are growing well.
Fang Chang wrote a guide, which can be regarded as a summary of the techniques for playing insect-type alien nests.
However, the players on the forum are obviously more concerned about how much money the Cow Horse Team made from the second underground layer of the greenhouse ruins than the temporarily unavailable guide.
Fang Chang didn't say anything.
But Chu Guang, who was peeking at the screen, knew it. After all, he personally sent the money to them.
Calculating the difficulty of the copy and the income, they got a total of 1,200 silver coins, which were divided equally among the four people, and one person received 300 silver coins.
As for the cost, Chu Guang didn't calculate it for them, but it was estimated that they consumed some ammunition.
If you grind it slowly with cold weapons, even if a piece of heavy armor can withstand it, it will probably take a long time. Moreover, you will have to hire a lot of manpower and rely on the human sea tactic to pile up.
Once the profits are shared, it is not as cost-effective as consuming some ammunition.
After returning from Changjiu Farm, Chu Guang finished updating the announcement, then sat in front of the computer in the residents' hall and browsed around the official website.
Many players have already started discussing what jobs should be arranged for the refugees.
Some talk about opening a textile factory, and some talk about opening a cement factory. Anyway, there are all kinds of things. Of course, starting from version 0.8, there are requirements for regional reputation to open a factory, and it needs to be friendly (1000) or above.
Completing the task of helping the region develop can increase the reputation of the region, or directly donate the materials needed by the local area, which can also be quickly improved.
Players complained one after another that this setting was simply copied from Cavalry and Cutting.
May the dog plan a long life!
In addition, what caught Chu Guang's attention was that Commander Quanshui, along with a new member of the Perception Department, discovered an abandoned military camp in a northern town.
The military camp was small, like an operational base, located in the playground of a community school.
In the early years of the Wasteland Era, it seemed that a group of refugees had been accommodated there, but they may have been evacuated not long after, so it did not develop into a survivor stronghold like Beit Street.
Quan Shui walked around there but didn't find anything useful.
The entire school was ransacked, and even most of the bookshelves in the library were dismantled. It must have been that they were used as firewood by local survivors in the early days of the Wasteland Era.
"...It's strange that the town seems to be a dead city, and the same goes for the school. There are no traces of survivor activities, and no looters are seen there, only the gnawing and stinky things that filled the house.
The basement... We don’t have enough equipment and we don’t dare to explore deep into the building.”
"I plan to go out and look for it tomorrow. Maybe I can find something."
Chu Guang was also curious about what they could find there.
Although the place has probably been raided countless times in the past two centuries, according to his experience, there is always something left that has not been taken away.
While Chu Guang was sitting in the shelter surfing the Internet, fifteen kilometers north of Changjiu Farm, several men carrying rifles and wearing thick coats were searching carefully for something nearby.
"That group of people shouldn't have gone too far." The man with a beard muttered and tugged on the dog leash in his hand.
The hound he led hissed and growled, sniffing the ground carefully.
Suddenly, the hound suddenly raised its head and barked towards the south.
The man leaned down, patted its head, then stretched out his index finger and wiped it on the ground.
Underneath the snow are traces of footprints.
He stood up again, looked south and squinted his eyes.
