Chapter 942 Reaching cooperation, the dispute between the gophers!
"I probably know the current situation, but you know that we will still act in accordance with the normal caravan rules before returning to the foundation headquarters. Please understand."
"Understood, I know it is difficult for anyone to accept in a short period of time that the world they live in has changed without knowing it. It is not just you. In fact, when we first came into this world, we were just as unbelievable as you are now."
Somo nodded slightly.
After a period of explanation, it can be seen that Sean believes at least 80% of these words.
The remaining 20% is also rapidly wavering under the increasing evidence.
"Thank you, Mr. Sumo. I am so lucky to meet a reasonable manager like you in this situation. Also, when I just came here, I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people in the shelter? If you don't mind...
I want to hire some people to enter Qinggang City to help us collect some materials."
"There is a special kind of moss there that has high recycling value. If we have arrived in another world as you said, it will definitely become an important strategic material."
"Don't worry, I know there are still many forces in Qinggang City, and my guards will ensure their safety."
"As a reward, we will double the normal salary of external employees of the foundation to each friend, that is, 2 business coupons per person per day. If more materials are collected, other bonuses will be given."
"Commercial securities?"
Somo smiled and said nothing, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface of the stone table.
"My friend, I must say it again."
"This is no longer Blue Star, and the foundation's bonds are of no use to us. Even in Qinggang City, the purchasing power of bonds is declining rapidly, and it has depreciated by about... more than ten times."
"Depreciation...ten times?!"
Sean's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.
But then he came to his senses, and his breathing became slightly heavier under the power armor mask.
"The commercial bonds issued by the foundation are Blue Star's hard currency. As long as you meet any businessman from the foundation, you can definitely use it to buy a lot of supplies... If you are willing, I can return to the headquarters.
Report the location of your gathering place, and other caravans will definitely come here to trade."
"Unfortunately, our territory needs more real supplies for the time being. If you come here next time, maybe we can accept some of these colorful banknotes."
Nonsense, the harbor shelter is clearing out commercial coupons, why do you need this thing?
Buying the dip?
If you really want to buy at the bottom, you might as well buy it from the old gophers in Qinggang City.
Sumo refused without hesitation to exchange his wasteful resources and labor for this kind of thing.
"We can use resources to trade, and we are willing to acquire anything that can help our development. Whether it is food, weapons, or tools, we all need it very much."
"Of course, if you still don't want to believe this fact, then before we trade, you can take people to Qinggang City to ask the forces holding commercial securities to see if they are still willing to maintain the previous goods.
It’s worth holding the bonds.”
"Ahem... This is not necessary." Sean shook his head helplessly: "In the past, we have not encountered gathering places that are unwilling to accept commercial securities, but unfortunately, we did not expect that a wise manager like you would refuse.
.But according to what you said, our Red Spider Caravan is willing to pay certain other resources in exchange."
"Later, I will give you a rough list of supplies. Don't worry, I won't make any changes to the price and will still trade with you at the normal selling price."
"Thank you so much." After getting the satisfactory result, Sumo was very pleased: "I will pay the corresponding salary to the people you want. And you have to exchange these salaries with materials."
"If other friends in the caravan want to spend money in my territory, they can also exchange materials for our currency."
Sean nodded.
"As the Romans do, that's not a problem."
"When the supplies list comes out, I will arrange for people to connect with Tianyuan Shelter and conclude the first phase of the deal between us as soon as possible."
After reaching the most basic cooperation, Sean led the three of them toward the camp in a worried manner.
The devaluation of commercial securities means the depreciation of wealth.
The Red Spider Caravan still has tens of thousands of coupons in its books that have not been spent. If the value of the coupons really depreciates tenfold, it will mean that all the efforts last year were in vain.
Coupled with the fact that he was suddenly thrown into a strange world, even after receiving an early warning signal from the foundation, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Let's go, go back quickly."
Turning on the power armor and rushing on at full power, Sean thought for a while, turned to Luke and said:
"Wait until night, take people to Qinggang City and capture a few looters."
"We need to know more information as soon as possible."
"But doesn't the code of our foundation say that we can't attack ordinary people in the city?" Luke asked in confusion.
"I just asked you to capture them, not kill them."
Rolling a glance at the big guard beside him, Sean said nonchalantly: "If it is true as the manager said, the world will probably be in chaos again. In this case, it would be okay to activate the wartime regulations of our caravan.
It doesn’t count as breaking the rules.”
"Well, I understand."
Luke's dull echo came from under the armor.
Breaking the foundation's rules is the last thing he wants to do.
Once discovered by the General Assembly, the person may be fined and dismissed from his post, or may be killed on the spot in the worst case.
But there was no way. As the guard captain of the Red Spider Caravan, he had to handle this kind of dirty work personally.
But, Luke didn't know.
In another place, there was a person who also broke the rules and was sitting on the sofa worrying.
...
Qinggang City, Pingtan Refuge.
Liu Lu, who has become the leader of B-7 floor, is sitting in Jin Dafa's room and looking through the ledger.
Compared with the dilapidated main room on the second floor, Jin Dafa's room is undoubtedly much better.
The entire space is about 60 square meters, with bright interior lights and white walls. It is divided into a reception room for working on weekdays and a living room inside.
However, enjoying these benefits did not make Liu Lu happy at all.
At this time, when he saw the red deficit indication on the account book and some words clearly marking the time and purpose, he frowned and cursed secretly:
"Damn Jin Dafa, this greedy thing, how dare he steal the public wealth of the entire seventh floor like this."
"No wonder his stupid uncle is willing to help, even risking violating the rules of the shelter and sending someone to help."
"It turns out... these things were sent away by Jin Da and became tributes."
This is a secret account book that Jin Dafa specially hid.
It clearly records every piece of corruption and the financial affairs between him and his uncle Jin Dazhi.
Probably Jin Dazhi's own life was not easy, and he had all kinds of expenses.
Almost every three months, Jin Dafa would secretly withhold some supplies and give them to him.
After the incident happened last month, there seemed to be some big leak on Jin Dazhi's side.
In this month alone, the total amount of supplies he requested from Jin Dafa was more than the entire last year.
"No wonder Jin Dafa wanted to kill me, and I can't blame him alone."
"Once I find out that there are so many things missing from the supply warehouse on the seventh floor, if I report it to the manager, either he or his uncle will probably die."
"Both of them were so anxious that they took the risk and went outside the shelter to kill people and silence them."
After reading the account book and carefully putting it back in the safe, Liu Lu couldn't help but think.
With this thing, it is not difficult to drag Jin Dazhi into the water.
The information recorded by Jin Dafa was very detailed, down to the minute, the quantity of supplies, and the general situation of how Jin Dazhi arranged for people to transport the supplies.
Once it is submitted to the administrator, Jin Dazhi will inevitably die.
But this is where the difficulty lies. What if Jin Dazhi jumps over the wall in a hurry before his death and insists on dragging himself into the water?
Although this guy has no direct proof that he killed Jin Dafa.
But according to the hunting tiger's character, he would definitely rather kill the wrong person than let it go.
Liu Lu shook his head slightly, unwilling to die with Jin Dazhi.
It would have been fine if he hadn't hooked up with the Yuan Tribe. Now the two parties have established a good trading relationship.
As long as this matter can be dealt with, the B-7 floor will immediately be able to exchange a steady stream of industrial waste for a large amount of materials, restarting and replenishing the depleted material library to its heyday.
And he was able to save a large amount of personal belongings.
Whether it is used to improve life, or used as a retreat for the future.
It is much better than dying together with Jin Dazhi.
"I have to find a way to meet Jin Dazhi. It's best to let him know that I already have something against him."
"No matter what, as long as he can develop stably for a period of time, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with him."
The layer length of layer B-7 is also the layer length.
Compared to Jin Dazhi, the material manager on the B-14 floor, their status is actually about the same.
And there is a very important point.
Jin Dazhi is a civilian, he is not good at fighting at all.
As long as this guy accidentally goes to the ground, if he seizes this opportunity and does the same thing, he can be saved once and for all.
"Lao Lu, come to my office."
Picking up the pager on the table, Liu Lu called softly.
After a while, the door opened and the energetic old Lu walked in.
"Chief, you called me?"
"Hey, you are still doing this with me, don't be disgusting."
Liu Lu paused slightly, and then asked expectantly: "How's it going? No one suspects collecting industrial waste, right?"
"Of course not. Those people were very happy when they heard that I was going to help them clear their space."
"Well, I took back all the waste products on the B-6 floor for almost no money."
The more Lao Lu talked, the happier he became, with an expression on his face like he was picking up money from the sky.
"That's good. I will contact those people as soon as possible. Then you will have to take them out for the specific transaction."
"You know, I am the floor leader now, and I am being watched by Jin Dazhi. He must want to find my loopholes."
"No problem, I will..."
Lao Lu didn't finish his words.
boom!
A faint popping sound suddenly sounded.
In the noisy seventh floor, the sound was not noticeable.
If the dust on the ceiling hadn't been shaken by this thread and caused some of it to fall, it would have been almost unnoticeable.
But the next second, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the shelter.
This is...
Enemy attack?
After clearly discerning the meaning of the alarm sound in his mind, Liu Lu stood up from his stool.
Damn it?
what happened?
Could it be that someone from the harbor shelter came calling?!
It has been ten years since the last such warning.
After Yehu became the manager of Pingtan Sanctuary, almost no one in Qinggang City dared to take the initiative to start a war against this war madman.
Everyone is looking forward to waiting for him to grow old and wait until the day he dies to settle matters.
But now...someone can't bear it anymore?
Time did not stop for a moment because of the alarm sound, and the continuous rumbling sound began to sound like beans!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the exit to the ground on an unknown floor was blown open. The sound of the explosion suddenly amplified several times.
"Floor B-7, floor chief, Liu Lu."
"Now please immediately lead your escort team to the ground to join the battle."
"Enemy attack, repeat, enemy attack!"
"Our enemy is... Harbor Shelter!"
The loudspeaker in the office that led directly to the manager's office suddenly sounded, and the voice of the current captain of the Flat Beach Guard, Joe Jacobs, came from it.
It turned out to be a seaport, and Liu Lu secretly screamed something bad.
When Liehu ordered the attack a few days ago, he had already guessed that such a day would come.
But I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
"I understand, I will take people to the ground to join the battle now."
After arranging emergency evacuation arrangements for Lao Lu, who was now the deputy head, Liu Lu ran towards the combat readiness area.
There were originally sixty-five members of the escort team on the entire B-7 floor.
Except for Jin Dafa who died calmly with eleven of his confidants a few days ago, there are now fifty-four people left.
After replacing six normal exoskeleton armors, Liu Lu arranged for two of his confidants to put on two exoskeletons that were being repaired and had some functions temporarily disabled.
A total of eight main combat units quickly headed to the ground first.
Go through the passage on the seventh floor and follow the ladder to the ground.
As soon as he opened the well and looked outside, Liu Lu quickly located the location of the opponent's attack.
"There is..."
"Huh? Where is the B-14 floor?"
One kilometer away on the block, the entrance to the ground floor on the B-14 floor is located in a building.
This method is convenient in daily life, but it is difficult to attack and defend in battle.
At this time, the people from the harbor shelter first knocked down the outermost defenses.
People don't even have to go in, they can just keep bombing into the passage, forcing the entire Pingtan Shelter to jump over the wall and have to go out to the ground, losing all its geographical advantages.
"Follow my orders and fight in a roundabout way."
"Let's go to... that location!"
The sixth sense he had developed over a long period of time told him that this battle might not be as simple as imagined.
Harbor Shelter, their strength is definitely not strong enough to compete with the top five shelters.
Now that they dare to take the initiative to launch an attack, there is no guarantee that there are no other shelters behind them.
What if those enemies from Yehu's past also take this opportunity to liquidate...
Finding a commanding height, Liu Lu calmed down and directly increased the energy output of the exoskeleton armor to full value.
