Chapter 1449 Determine the route and follow the boulders own path!
Grizzly Bear is just a third-rate mercenary. It's okay for him to find 20 actors, but it's really difficult to find 200 actors.
But the reason why Luo You came to him was because he took a fancy to this guy's social butterfly qualities.
The mercenaries in the black market are all drunkards.
Grizzly bears have a good drinking capacity, so they naturally make many fair-weather friends.
Some of them are reliable, and some are unreliable. As long as you can find the right person, it's very simple to get it done.
Therefore, after some thought, he approached Victor.
Victor is the real "big shot" in the Eagle Point black market. He was once the captain of a mercenary team. He had more than seventy people under his command at most, and he could even book out an entire tavern for a celebration at night.
However, it is only the glory of the past.
Just over a month ago, Victor's team suffered heavy casualties in a conflict with other forces.
Now there are only a dozen people left in his team, and they all have minor injuries.
If you want to restore the past glory, it will probably be difficult to see the Eagle Point black market in such a state of half-death right now.
Therefore, based on the price of ten eagle cents per head, Grizzly Bear estimated that Victor would agree to it in all likelihood, and he would enjoy the price difference.
"Two hundred people are not twenty people, grizzly bear, you really have a big appetite."
Victor was drunk and hazy, and did not believe the words of the rotten drunkard in front of him.
Since the establishment of the Eagle Point Black Market, there have been only a handful of missions that could use two hundred people.
Even if one person is paid twenty eagle dimes according to the market price, it can hollow out a medium-sized force.
However, when a contract with a black market seal was placed on the table, the bright words on it made Victor suddenly excited.
"Damn, are you serious?"
"I don't need to lie to you. This is a big order that I worked hard to receive. I won't go into details about the process. In short, the opportunity is rare."
Grizzly lowered his voice and quickly repeated his employer's needs.
He didn't hide any details.
Victor has been in trouble a lot recently, so he must have paid great attention to the details of the mission.
If there really was a problem in this job that he hadn't discovered, Victor's sophistication would definitely be able to spot the problem. This would help him avoid a life-threatening commission.
"To participate in a territorial war, all you have to do is run away after the war starts. It seems that the employer has a lot of appetite."
After hearing this, Victor tapped his fingers on the table and thought carefully.
Territory wars are not disputes between forces. They can still shake hands and make peace with each other.
Once it is opened, only one of the two parties will survive.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
If he is an employer and wants to win this battle, having the mercenaries defect before the battle will obviously increase the chance of winning.
But the other party didn't do this, obviously he was very confident in his own strength.
No, their goal is probably not simply to win.
Victor thought a lot for a moment, and finally his eyes rested on this contract.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, this is not what he should think about now.
He is short of money.
There is a lack of funds for a comeback and revitalization, and there is also a lack of funds to support the brothers and build on the past and forge ahead into the future.
"Who is the employer?"
"According to the rules, I can never tell you anything before you sign a contract."
Grizzly hesitated for a moment, "However, I can trust your character. Your employer is Boulder Territory."
"Boulder territory?"
A somewhat unfamiliar name for the territory.
Victor did not rush to agree, but opened the game panel and sent a message to his deputy.
More than ten minutes later, the deputy responded with a detailed message of several hundred words.
Victor frowned and browsed down line by line in detail.
"It's interesting."
A small territory with three thousand people can actually afford this price to place a commission on the black market.
It seemed that the drug business was very profitable, which made the surrounding territories jealous and wanted to start a territorial war.
Moreover, the construction location of this boulder territory is also very interesting. It is actually built on a rocky mountain?
It was because of fear of death that one could build the territory in such a location.
This business can be done.
Victor's heart moved slightly. After experiencing a life and death disaster, his thoughts had already changed.
If you continue to cover your head and lick blood from the tip of a knife, your body may be exposed in the wilderness one day.
But if we can take this opportunity to gain access to outside territory, we may be able to get a chance of relief.
"With my previous reputation, it's not difficult to gather two hundred people in the black market, and there won't be any exposure problems in the process."
"But you have to pay more."
"What?" Grizzly Bear immediately raised his hand and pulled the contract back, shaking his head reluctantly.
"For this job, I only earn two eagle dimes per head."
"Really?" Victor burped.
"I don't care how much you take, but if something happens to the person I'm looking for, I have to give him a pension, so it's thirteen coins per person. If it's less than this, you can find someone else."
"Thirteen coins."
Grizzly Bear pondered for a moment, he could still earn seven coins for such a head.
One thousand four hundred coins, which is enough for him to finish this job and live a good life elsewhere.
"Okay, I'll suffer a loss, let's go to the notary office to sign the contract!"
The morning sun rises.
The Boulder Territory visited by Tesla Territory is obviously a little more vibrant than before.
Even today, everyone has long stopped coveting the so-called assistance territory where they can accumulate contribution points, and has made up their mind to live a good life in the Boulder Territory.
But it is always good to be on the list of people who are being helped, and it proves that their previous vision was correct!
One level platform.
In the newly built public canteen in the territory.
Sumo was eating pickles, drinking millet porridge, and reading the silly speeches on the World Channel.
Lao Zhang strode in from the side door, with uncontrollable joy on his face.
"All plans have been arranged."
"Well, you did a good job." Sumo raised his head and cast a look of praise.
Although judging from the current strength of the Jushi Territory, it is difficult to say whether the four territories can attack the village from the dock to the village gate with a thousand people attack.
But having said that, it was the first time for Lao Zhang and Luo You to participate in such a large-scale military operation, and their current performance is completely worthy of recognition.
"After this war is over, more and more people will join the territory."
"Haha, don't we just wait for this day to come?" Lao Zhang rubbed his hands excitedly and exhaled. "Boss Ji, I have talked with Lao Luo and the others. When the time comes, all new arrivals will be arranged to go to the village to meet people.
The village is just enough to build two villages together."
"." Su Mo frowned, put down his chopsticks and looked at Lao Zhang.
The bald man in front of me seemed to be the same as when I saw him two months ago, he was still as rugged.
But in the big man's eyes, Sumo saw a hint of ambition.
The atmosphere suddenly became dull, and Lao Zhang was frightened and at a loss.
"Have you read the plan I gave you yesterday?"
"Have a look!" Lao Zhang nodded immediately.
"I have carefully thought about all plans to continue building Tianzhai, build various public facilities, build hospitals, schools, canteens, and factories. This is the result of my thinking."
As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from his arms, in which he recorded his thoughts densely.
Sumo took it and flipped through it for a while, and then his frown relaxed a little.
He helped the boulder territory continue to expand in order to gain more survival points.
But the idea shown by Lao Zhang just now was that he wanted to dominate here.
What's the use of having a million people in the Boulder Territory?
No survival points can be gained from these people, and further development will only deviate further from Soma's original intention.
"Okay, let's go out and chat." Su Mo handed the notebook back, drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, picked up the plate and placed it in the dining area at the exit, and walked out of the canteen side by side with Lao Zhang.
Following the mountain road passing through the Dizhai, the two came to the Dizhai where a lot of construction work was being carried out, and found an open space to stand.
"Every day I come here, there are new changes," he said.
"The workers have adopted your frame spraying method, and the construction speed has been getting faster and faster recently." Lao Zhang nodded. Judging from Sumo's change in attitude just now, he judged that his ideas had deviated from the original intention of territorial construction.
However, to develop the Boulder territory, shouldn’t we build more and more villages and recruit more people?
"I never told you why we built the Boulder Territory. At that time, I thought you wouldn't understand if I told you. Now I think it's time." Sumo sighed.
From Lao Zhang's eyes, he could see that the other party was just afraid of him, rather than thinking that he had done something wrong.
"Let me ask you, the people in Tianzhai now. Forget it, let's talk about the Niu family brothers. Why are they willing to come to our Jushi territory?"
"Well" Lao Zhang hesitated, "Because compared to the surrounding territories, we at Jushi are willing to treat them as real people and give them all the same treatment."
"Then if there are one million people in the Boulder Territory, can you still give them the same treatment?"
Sumo said calmly, "Have you ever asked those old residents what kind of life they want? Have you paid attention to their expectations after coming to the Boulder Territory? Do you think they expect hundreds of thousands of people to join and share the profits of the territory?
The only supplies within the territory, or should we maintain the steady development as it is now and become a small territory free from competition with the world?"
"Boss Ji" and Lao Zhang were a little stunned.
"Actually, from the beginning of the construction of the boulder territory, I just wanted to let the survivors see that there is another way of life in this wasteland world. The correct solution is not to rush into these super territories without thinking."
"To reach this point is something I didn't expect, and it's all a coincidence."
"But from the beginning to the end, my purpose was not to develop a second Golden Eagle next to the Golden Eagle. The boulder is a boulder and it needs to go its own way."
Lao Zhang was silent.
The Boulder territory has been expanding too fast in recent times and has indeed deviated from its original development track.
Now after Sumo reminded him, he suddenly understood that the giant stone had followed the same path as other large and small territories in the New World.
Development, expansion, infrastructure.
More population, larger territory, and more stringent screening conditions.
This is a development path to achieve a super territory, but it is also a path that is completely contrary to the original intention.
"So, we should develop in a small but beautiful way?" Lao Zhang asked.
"Not really, it's just that when expanding, we should pay more attention to the supporting construction."
This is the principle that Soma has been emphasizing since the Tianyuan Territory.
Otherwise, with his influence, he could easily call on over 100 million survivors to travel thousands of miles to join.
But what's the point of that?
Tianyuan Territory simply does not have enough capacity to accommodate so many people, and it will only lead to a disaster in the end.
Including the current Golden Eagle, it is precisely because they did not realize this that they expanded without limit and gathered the population, so that now there are constant conflicts of interest between federal territories.
Perhaps a fuse is triggered and the war will begin immediately!
"I understand, this is why you asked me to defeat the enemy, not defeat them, right?"
"Yes, the benefits gained from defeating them are far less than the resources invested in wiping their butts."
Sumo chuckled, this kind of matter should be left to the golden giant eagle to solve.
Now that they are on the assistance list, those federal territories must be taken over anyway.
After explaining this to Lao Zhang, Sumo was not idle. He took the time to walk around the foot of the mountain and slightly adjusted the defense of the guards.
I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running away.
It may be a bit difficult for him to command a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, but this kind of battle involving two to three hundred people is really easy to handle.
Even when he closed his eyes, Somo could imagine where the enemy would come out and what actions he would make.
If you plan ahead and plan for this, you can easily repel the attack.
Maybe there is no need to take action. Considering the combat capabilities of these territories, the rout of the mercenaries is enough for them to have a good drink.
"After this matter is over and it becomes a support territory, and is connected to the Tesla territory, I don't need to worry about the development of Jushi in the future."
Somo had no expression on his face. After thinking about the path to the boulder territory, his thoughts couldn't help but turn back to the first Ten Thousand Paths Battle five months later.
His mind is actually quite confused and he has no clue.
The alien race now knows that this is the last decisive battle, but has yet to make any reaction.
This kind of behavior reminded him of what these guys did last time. For more than half a year, without any warning, they suddenly held back a huge force and pulled him directly into the asynchronous space.
Are the aliens planning to do the same thing this time?
Without enough information, Sumo was unable to make an analysis and judgment.
But reason told him that if he allowed the foreign race to continue planning so comfortably, the result would definitely be significantly out of control.
"Next month, I have to go to Connie's place." Sumo made up his mind, and it just so happened that Connie also needed time to collect information.
But the plan obviously couldn't keep up with the changes, just when he was about to go back to the village and prepare for his second meeting with Musk.
The game interface that I had been immersed in for more than a month suddenly popped up.
Buzz.
The main interface trembled for a while, and it automatically jumped to the disaster interface about the death wave.
[Record]: It is detected that the current environment has met the upgrade conditions of the ultimate disaster ‘death wave’, and the disaster is being upgraded.
[Record]: The ultimate disaster ‘Death Tide’ is being upgraded.
[Record]: The upgrade has been completed, and the ultimate disaster ‘Death Tide’ has officially entered the second stage. Players please be prepared.
