Chapter 92 No one is better at rummaging through boxes and cabinets than the players (please subscribe)
"Ouch!"
"Kill them!"
The players excitedly raised their weapons and responded to the manager's call with great momentum.
Very satisfied with their attitude, Chu Guang nodded and waved forward.
A group of people passed through the north gate of the park and headed north along the remains of the elevated highway out of the city, directly heading towards the lair of the predators four kilometers away.
This is an abandoned tire factory.
There are crude fortifications placed on the outside of the wall, and strange patterns and symbols are daubed on the wall with filth.
[The Mole on the Run in the Canyon] lowered his voice and whispered to [Midnight Killer] next to him.
"These graffiti remind me of wild men in the forest."
"Savages of the forest?"
"A game, PC version."
"I know...but these people don't live in the forest, we live in the forest, right?"
"..."
Although the enemy's main force had been completely wiped out, Chu Guang still did not take it lightly and was still careful to watch out for possible traps around him.
But what's interesting is that when Chu Guang and his party arrived, they found that the door to the predator's lair was actually open.
At the same time, the moment he confirmed that the Bloody Hand Clan camp had fallen, a light blue pop-up window appeared in front of his eyes.
【mission completed.】
[Permissions for the B2 floor of Shelter 404 have been authorized and can be unlocked within 24 hours.]
[Countdown: 23h59min59s]
Gee, I still have to wait 24 hours.
never mind.
Chu Guang is not in a hurry anyway. He still has a lot of things to deal with before exploring the B2 floor.
Including those prisoners.
Also includes other loot.
At the same time, Hai En, who was waiting anxiously at the gate of the village, saw Chu Guang and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If the person who came was not him, or if he did not come on foot, I might not even be able to save my life.
"I still feel that intervening in local disputes is not a good choice." Holding a square assault rifle, the muscular female mercenary looked at her employer and reminded, "We have no control over the area.
A single thought from them can determine our fate."
"I agree with Lenna's point of view," another powerful mercenary glanced at the group of people outside, frowned and said, "What are you going to do if they choose to take them all."
His name is Wen, and he is the strongest among the three.
Hain said without caring about his subordinates' opinions.
"This is a problem, but it's not a big problem. We even do business with predators, let alone them? Believe me, it's not a bad thing to change to a relatively disciplined trading partner."
"Really?" the female mercenary whistled and said teasingly, "I don't think they are much more civilized than the predators."
"Okay, shut up, just stand here and wait for me!"
Abandoning his two bodyguards, Hain quickly walked down the stairs and walked out the door with an excited look on his face, as if he had known him for many years.
"My dear friend, you don't know how excited I am when I see you appear here safe and sound!"
"Me too," Chu Guang smiled faintly, glanced at the village gate next to him, and said slightly surprised, "You defeated this stronghold by yourself?"
Hain laughed and said.
"Of course I'm not alone. Unless you're a poor man or a gambler with a lot of money in your pocket, no one would go so far to do business alone. Okay, let's stop talking at the door and come in first!"
"I will introduce you to my two bodyguards and assistants in a moment. Thanks to them this time, otherwise our plan would not have gone so smoothly!"
Hai En politely invited Chu Guang and his party in, and along the way he vividly described his resourcefulness, how he deceived the leader of the Blood Hand clan, and how he cooperated with his bodyguards who were ambushing outside while they were not paying attention.
This stronghold was captured.
To be honest, Chu Guang was not interested in his "heroic deeds". No matter what he said, the scene could not be more exciting than what he had experienced.
However, now that the fortress has been breached from the inside, it saved him a lot of time.
Chu Guang had originally planned to let the players act as human bombs and rush through the door with ten kilograms of black powder at the risk of death, but now it seems that this extra expenditure can be saved.
The next step is to search.
No one knows this better than his players.
After receiving the order, each player's eyes seemed to be glowing green, and they swarmed into the raider's stronghold.
Not to mention the cabinets in the room, even a loose floor tile will not be spared!
"What's in this jar?"
"yue, it smells so bad."
"Eighty percent of it is from Ollie."
"Damn it, there's a human head in this drawer...it's so perverted."
"White plastic piece found under the floor!"
"What's this thing for? Casino chips? Collectibles?"
"This? Damn it, what a good thing! According to the guide on the forum, you can get it to the warehouse to exchange for money. One chip can be exchanged for 5 copper coins!"
Looking at these blue coats that looked more like bandits than predators, Lenna clicked her tongue, and Wen next to her also had a strange expression on his face.
The blue coats he had seen were all more reserved, even pedantic, and it was rare to see someone with no airs like this.
"What language do they speak?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard of it. It's not from this area anyway."
"Are they really shelter people?"
"I don't know if anyone cares."
"What you're talking about is really boring."
"I just don't have as many questions as you."
The two mercenaries talked quietly. The most vicious force in this area had been destroyed, and no one would disturb them for the rest of the night.
Hai En and Chu Guang standing aside were also having a friendly conversation, discussing how to divide the profits from this big deal.
"Seven people died on my side...actually eight. There was also an unlucky kid who had his arm chopped off by the leader of the looters. He lost blood and could not be saved."
"Hiss...this, this is really too miserable."
Hain clicked his tongue and expressed his shock and regret with a dumbfounded expression.
He didn't know how many people there were in the outpost, but he estimated that it should be less than a hundred. Eight people died in this battle, which was equivalent to a reduction of 10% of the total population. The price was indeed quite high.
"...Don't be too sad. People die every day in the wasteland, and battle losses are inevitable. Last year, I still had four bodyguards, but this year there are only two left."
Hain sighed and said in a comforting tone, "At least their sacrifices brought peace. Those who survived, including all survivors in this area, will thank them."
"They will compensate us later, but this is not what we are discussing now," Chu Guang looked at Hain and continued, "You may have misunderstood me. I am not seeking your comfort, but informing you that we
Take the lion’s share of it.”
Hain looked stunned.
He didn't turn around for a while, and his voice stuttered.
"Ah, okay... I mean, no problem. Well, you deserve it, my noble lord."
Chu Guang nodded.
"Very good, then we can talk about how to divide it."
The two mercenaries looked at each other wordlessly, not daring to speak and only daring to communicate with their eyes.
'This is the first time I've seen such a ruthless blue coat.'
'I bet it's the first time I've met the boss too.'
'He is a hero.'
'It's cruel enough for my taste.'
…
There are a total of 29 captives in the Wetland Park, 10 of whom are seriously injured. I don't know if they can survive the night.
There are about 30 people imprisoned in the Marauder's dungeon. Counting the two young Marauder soldiers who were just imprisoned, there are a total of 32 people. However, half of them are seriously injured and some are still hanging with half a breath left.
, looks extremely miserable, and may die at any time.
According to the negotiation between Chu Guang and Haien, all the plunderers, regardless of their minor or serious injuries, can be packaged for them, and in exchange, Haien needs to provide him with a batch of goods of equal value.
There were 31 raider prisoners in total.
Without a unified currency, it was difficult to estimate the value. Chu Guang simply used the specialty "coarse salt" from Honghe Town as the equivalent, and settled the price with him based on 20 kilograms of coarse salt.
When Chu Guang and Sun Shiqi exchanged dried meat for salt, they exchanged almost three kilograms of meat for one kilogram of salt. According to this calculation, it is equivalent to one person's head being used as 60 kilograms of "bacon".
He thought it was very reasonable.
Although Hain didn't think of air-dried meat, the transaction price was barely acceptable to him.
A strong labor force only needs a little training, and it is not a problem to sell it to the mine owners in Honghe Town for two or three times.
It doesn't matter if they are disabled prisoners. Honghe Town lacks food but does not lack nutritional cream. If they are raised until next spring, there will be people willing to ask for their spare parts.
The only trouble now is that Hain doesn't have that much cargo with him.
This time, in order to make the last transaction before winter, he only brought some hard currency from Qingquan City, that is, those plastic pieces.
There is no problem in buying two or three strong laborers with these few chips, but eating more than thirty in one bite... is still a bit of a fantasy.
Hai En tried to make a last effort, looked at Chu Guang and said.
"We didn't bring anything like that! I can use my credibility to guarantee that next spring I will bring what I promised!"
Chu Guang sneered.
"Stop talking in your sleep. If you had credibility, we wouldn't stand here discussing business. Anyway, Honghe Town is only two days away from here. You can go back and get it now."
Hain exclaimed.
"Are you crazy? It's winter now! It was snowing heavily outside a few hours ago! Do you want me to go back to Honghe Town and come back?"
Chu Guang said indifferently.
"It's just the beginning of winter. It was just the third snowfall before. The surface temperature didn't even reach below zero. Is this still considered heavy snow? You're not even afraid of someone coming to my place as a lobbyist. Are you still worried about this risk?"
Should you take two or three people back, or thirty people?
There are not many opportunities to do this kind of business.
After weighing the pros and cons, Hain didn't even take a minute to make a decision.
In principle, no caravan is willing to do business at this time.
But when the benefits outweigh the risks, principles are just principles.
Chu Guang was very satisfied with his decision.
After all, if he didn't agree, the gallows of justice would be busy again.
It is impossible for him to use precious food to feed these predators, as the benefits of doing so are far lower than converting them into raw materials for summoning the fourth natural disaster.
These people are naturally disobedient to discipline, and it is common for them to be lazy at work. It takes a lot of time and manpower to tame them, and even if they are successfully tamed, it is far less effective than the players.
Why bother?
He will be able to open the B2 floor soon.
At that time, there will be more sealing and testing qualifications to satisfy those friends who have been waiting for a long time.
…
After discussing the division of the loot, Chu Guang ordered the players to go to the dungeon and free up the space inside for the looters in the brick factory.
When the dungeon door opened, the fishy smell that hit their faces almost suffocated the two young players who followed them. It took a while for the wind to blow before they set up torches and continued to move forward.
The deep and dark stone walls were covered with sticky stains. Occasionally, you could see fist-sized cockroaches crawling across the ground, and shoe-sized mice fighting with each other over a rotting corpse.
The men and women whose hands and feet were chained looked at the people who appeared at the entrance of the dungeon with blank expressions. There were only a handful of people with sound limbs, and some people had insects as thick as their thumbs crawling on their bodies, but they didn't care at all.
[Elf King Fugui] couldn't hold it back and vomited on the spot.
"Next time I won't do this job again."
[The Mole on the Run in the Canyon] was not bad, and he even laughed and flattered him.
"Didn't you clamor to come?"
"...I thought there was an injured little Keli."
"Tsk, how do you call the police here?"
Looking at the two people walking forward, [Irena] who came to the door stood still, with a subtle expression on her face, which was very funny like standing in a corner and scared.
"I can help you guard the rear here, but I'm mainly worried about predators sneaking up from behind."
Fugui and Mole looked at each other, smiled in unison, and looked at this good brother together.
"No, brother, we're here."
"The mission reward is 5 silver coins. We have to get this person out."
"That's right," the agility-type Fugui brother grabbed Irena who was about to run away, and said with a smile, "There are no predators here, be good."
"Let me go! Ahhhhhhh."
It took a lot of time to get all the prisoners in the dungeon to the surface, and the search for loot on the other side was also continuing.
Players searching for loot almost turned the entire tire factory upside down.
Not only those things that can be seen as valuable at a glance, but also the pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches that the looters used to eat have been collected.
Speaking of which, there is a small episode.
When the players searched the room of the Predator Wave SS, they found a wooden torture instrument inside. Hanging on the torture instrument was a cold clone, with stains and scars on the fair skin.
Chu Guang was somewhat impressed by her.
He still remembered that he was at the gate of Beit Street. When he saw Lister and old Charlie discussing business, a caravan gunman took her out of the car.
"Why did the clone bought by Old Leech appear in the Bloody Hand Clan's camp?"
Chu Guang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
There were roughly four ABCD possibilities in his mind, some serious and some not so serious.
The four little players who followed him into the house were whispering behind him.
"Is this game really serious?"
"perhaps……?"
"Then why is there a plot in the book?"
"You know the story of the book! This is called background setting. Do you understand the setting? Hey, I have to go to the official website to talk about it when I go offline. There are quite a lot of details in this game. I hope they won't delete it after the public beta.
reduce."
"Forget about the version number, go play on the international server."
"However, our manager is quite decent. In this wasteland where people's hearts are colder than ice, it is really rare to have such a just, fair and kind NPC."
This sentence was unanimously recognized by the players.
I don’t want to brag, but you can see in many details that their manager is a very charismatic leader.
Otherwise, why would the proprietress of the weapon shop always look at him secretly?
Hearing the conversation among the players, Chu Guang chuckled.
if not?
As a normal wasteland dweller, the clones hanging on that torture device are you. Think carefully about where these "goods" are produced.
Chu Guang casually picked up the piece and threw it on her body. Chu Guang looked at the players behind him.
"Take this poor guy off and take him away."
"The body left here can only feed cockroaches. Why not let her use her remaining heat to rekindle the fire of civilization."
"Also, search this room carefully and report any clues to me immediately."
