Chapter 953 Since he is a scavenger, there is nothing wrong with picking up some equipment!
Three prefabricated houses that provide temporary rest for the villagers were built not far from the chariot.
Logically speaking, the Red Spider Caravan would be the one to take on this job.
But in the end, after totaling the expenses of both parties, Sean simply spent the money and outsourced the work to the village.
Including three meals a day, a total of 350 coupons were spent seven days a week.
Although it was one hundred and fifty coupons higher than the original budget, it still included the effort spent on commanding the lazy guys in the caravan to go out to work.
Sean even felt like he had earned it.
In fact, the members of the Red Spider Caravan are not the kind who work for the caravan in a simple sense and can do whatever they want.
Each of these people who have mastered a large amount of knowledge or skills is a treasure in the Blue Star Wasteland.
In order to recruit these people to join the caravan, Sean used a lot of words and promised very tempting conditions to succeed.
In most cases, the relationship between them and the caravan is an equal employment relationship.
And if you can spend a little money to make this group of people comfortable, it will actually be very worthwhile in the long run.
As long as they can stand up at critical moments, such as when they climbed out of those mountains this time, and those engineers worked tirelessly every night to repair the damage to the car, it would be enough to generate hundreds of percent positive income for the caravan.
The three connected prefabricated houses are not much different from those in Hope Village.
Arranged from left to right, the first wooden building is a public activity area, with a washing place and a simple kitchen separated.
The second and third prefabricated houses are living areas, with fifty 1.5*1.2 single beds inside. The space may be a little cramped compared to the interior of the Red Spider Chariot, but it is suitable for scavengers who are used to living there.
Even more spacious.
Of course, the mattress on the single bed will be shabby.
At present, the territory can't even get enough cotton to make ammunition, let alone some warm clothes and bedding.
Sean walked in from the door, looked around, and finally cautiously suggested:
"Friends, it has been raining for the past two days and it may be a bit cold at night. I see that there is no heating facility in your house. Don't let the workers get sick while sleeping."
Although all the workers' daily life has been outsourced, this should no longer be a concern for the caravan.
But out of consideration for the workload and wanting to have a good relationship with Tianyuan Shelter.
"At night, I will have someone bring in a heating facility."
"But you have to find a way to solve the problem of the electricity it uses."
As long as the forces on Blue Star have anything to do with civilization, they strongly reject slavery and will use all possible means to deal with and maintain their rule.
Even looters who don't have enough brains will not force the refugees in the wasteland to join their ranks.
They know that this retro system will directly stifle human creativity and enthusiasm, and they will bear the risk of possible resistance.
In comparison, it is obviously more cost-effective to select some like-minded people to join the team.
This is true even in the Gopher Man's Sanctuary.
Of course, there is no place where slavery is used on Blue Star, but most of it is used on some defeated prisoners or captured members of hostile forces, and is not included in the regular discussion.
Sean traveled all over the country, and at that time he also had the idea of buying some slaves to serve as the bottom of the caravan.
However, in the end, the slaves' depressed will and the risks to be avoided were dissuaded.
"Thank you, Sir Sean, for your kindness. This is a great help to us."
"As for the energy problem, don't worry, we will solve it ourselves!"
Saying that, Feng Long quickly walked over and stretched out his right hand with a look of surprise on his face, and the two of them held it together.
Just now, he was planning to set up several stoves in the room to keep warm at night.
It would be great if the Red Spider Caravan was willing to send a heating facility.
As long as you bring some energy stones here to provide heating, it will definitely be much more convenient.
"It's getting late today, and everyone will leave soon."
"As the captain of the Red Spider Caravan, let me first tell you about our work goals for the next seven days."
Sean nodded and took out a test tube from his arms, which contained the strange moss in Qinggang City.
Compared to the blue-purple moss growing around the building that Sumo saw for the first time.
The moss in the test tube was purple-red, with a faint hint of black.
"This is our goal. The scientific name given to it by the foundation is: "Calm Neutralizing Moss", and the most commonly used name for it is: Calm Powder."
"Its function is very simple. It has only one function, and that is to reduce the severity of the reaction."
"The newly born Serenity Moss is pure blue, slightly luminous, has low corrosiveness and low toxicity. When it encounters organisms, it will automatically release powder to adhere to it, so please stay away from them as much as possible."
The growing calm moss is blue-purple with a restrained light. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will have a strong corrosive effect. Do not touch it directly with your hands.
And the calm moss in its mature stage is the color in my hands, purple-red."
This was not the first time he spoke to local workers, and Sean seemed to be doing it with ease.
Although the faces of the workers below looked a little "indifferent", and some were even laughing and whispering, he still tried his best to talk about the dangers that may be encountered when collecting calm moss.
"The target you need to collect is the purple-red neutralized moss. The way to collect it is very simple. You only need to use the glass tool that will be given to you to squeeze it out to separate it from the moss carpet, put it into a test tube and bring it back.
"
"During this process, the caravan's guards will help you eliminate most of the dangers around you, such as approaching mutant beasts, mutants, and predators. But you still need to be careful of enemies that may suddenly emerge from a certain sewer pipe.
just in case."
"The minimum amount of tasks per person per day is 20g. For every additional 10g, your income for the day will double."
"If you can exceed 200g, or collect high-quality calm and neutral moss that is completely red, the caravan's special rewards will definitely not disappoint you."
After explaining the goals, benefits and incentive awards, Sean turned around and left without saying anything else.
Joseph, the vice-captain of the Red Spider Caravan, walked in and began to hand out tools for collecting Calm Neutral Moss.
Each person has a glass spatula, a glass knife, and three strong and durable polymer resin synthetic test tubes.
In addition, there is a device the size of a bottle cap, I don’t know what it is used for.
"High-quality calming powder is hard to find. It's usually found in the center of the moss carpet. You must be careful."
"If anyone is injured, please bring him back as soon as possible. The Red Spider Caravan will be responsible for their treatment."
"There are still six hours between now and eight o'clock in the evening. We have to speed up."
Feng Long nodded.
"no problem."
After an hour's rest, the scavengers ate some dry food and quickly recovered from the energy consumed by the journey, and began to assemble the team to prepare for departure.
The injured Luke is receiving secondary treatment and will temporarily miss the afternoon action.
Craig Darren, deputy captain of the Red Spider Caravan's escort team, is in charge of security.
"The location where we collect calm powder today is within this range. I will lead eight guards to eliminate the surrounding risks first. Please be sure not to step outside this range, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
Taking out a fifteen-inch tablet, Darren drew a red circle on it with his hand.
Ding dong.
The bottle cap device that had just been issued suddenly trembled slightly, and the matte surface emitted a light green light.
"The light is green, which means that your activity range is within the protection range and is safe."
"The light is yellow, which means your activity area is close to the danger zone. Please be careful."
"The light is red, please exit as soon as possible and return to our designated activity area."
"Now, let's go!"
call.
After the words fell, the nine Raptor Power Armors including Darren rushed out first, rushing towards Qinggang City at a maneuvering speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
This time they did not hide their identities, and the foundation's logo was engraved on the surface of the power armor.
Following these people, Feng Long waved his hand, and the team of scavengers dispersed like a flock of sheep.
According to the teams assigned before, the fifty people were divided into four teams.
The captains are: Sildenafil, the number one male gunner in the island country, Tao Meng Zhe, Kong Kong Taoist
Depending on the captain's personality and style, the action directions of these teams are also different.
The "Gou" team led by Sildenafil was firmly chasing behind the nine power mechas, with the mentality of preferring less gain than taking absolutely no risks.
The "Gang" team led by the island nation's number one gunman only headed straight for the bungalow area near the beach shelter in the map information, obviously eyeing other harvests that might appear there.
The remaining two teams, Tao Meng Zhe and Kong Kong Daoren, are the current standard "rich team" in the village.
The former has a huge advantage in detection equipment. It has an infrared detector and a biochemical composition analyzer that I don't know where it came from.
The latter received a wave of small investments from the steel plant because they were good brothers with the chief trial officer of Lianmeng Steel Plant, Pu Ling Mozi, and was well equipped to the teeth with weapons, equipment, and various tools.
The two teams reached a consensus on the detection and chose to go together to explore the outer edges of the high-rise areas behind the damaged bridge.
Soon, the four teams divided into three directions, and after about ten minutes, they finally entered the western suburbs of Qinggang City.
"Fuck, there really is a city!"
Standing on the edge of the light mist, staring at the steel behemoth wrapped inside.
The No. 1 gunman of the island country, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, was so stunned that he didn't even notice that the cigarette handle in his mouth fell to the ground.
this.
Is this an entire city that has traveled through time?
When he first came into contact with map information in the prefabricated house, he had already imagined the city as huge as possible.
But I am really standing here, looking at this lifeless ruins of civilization.
This feeling is still difficult to describe in simple language.
It's different from the fear and unfamiliarity I felt when I first traveled to the wasteland from the earth.
At this time, all that was left in my heart was the simplest fear.
"Be careful, the more beautiful the place, the more risks lurk."
"Don't underestimate every corner. We have to imagine that there are enemies hidden in every dark place here."
Look at the countless shell craters on the city ground and the strange plants growing in the corners of the buildings.
Sildenafil acted more and more cautiously, while tracking the traces left by the power armor on the ground, he ordered his teammates to collect as much information as possible on this ruined city.
This place is an undoubted treasure, especially for scavengers.
But at the same time, you can know the danger here just by looking at the attitudes of the escorts. It's definitely not that simple.
If you want to level up and gain route progress, you must have a life to accumulate experience.
Before he had enough intelligence to support his decision, he was still very cautious in his choices.
"There are a lot of traces of human life here, it's very fresh, and battles may come at any time."
"Don't spread out, try to make sure you can support your teammates."
The teams of Dream Taoist and Kongkong Taoist also entered Qinggang City.
Relying on instruments and developed habits, they quickly found a large number of traces on the ground.
Especially those that look like scorch marks left by battle, and the smell of gunpowder smoke that still hasn't evaporated after the heavy rain washed away.
There was a big war here not long ago?
"Holy shit, there's a gun in there?"
After walking only a few steps, the old man with the goatee's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a pistol hanging diagonally on the steel bar.
This gun looks a bit like a Glock 17, with only some water stains on the surface. How could someone leave it here?
"Be careful, fishing law enforcement."
"I know."
Although Dream Taoist looks honest and has a mouth full of freshly shaved green stubble, he is no less cautious than Sildenafil.
After taking someone to check the area carefully, I made sure that the gun was really just missing here.
The old man stepped forward quickly and took the pistol off the steel bar.
After pushing open the magazine, the bullet inside was indeed empty, and there were obvious firing marks in the barrel.
Like those previously found on the ground, the marks inside the barrel are also fresh.
"It seems that there has been a battle here in the past few days."
"If nothing unexpected happens, are you looking around?"
Compared with the so-called mission of the caravan, these "wild" guns are obviously more attractive.
Compared to the powerful wolf crossbow on his back, anyone with a discerning eye would know better if he could find bullets.
How effective can this thing be at critical moments?
"Damn, there's a submachine gun here, and eight rounds of ammunition!"
"There is a rifle here. Hey, why did it break in the middle? What a waste of money."
"Bullets, I found a magazine here with eighteen rounds of pistol bullets in it!"
"Damn it, it's developed. Every time you find a gun, you'll get 0.35% of the upgrade progress."
"It's so cool. If I keep going at this pace, I'm afraid it will take me one week to level up!"
Following the streets with traces of battle, more and more remnants of the battle were discovered by scavengers.
There were various types of guns with empty bullets left in hidden corners, and a lot of ammunition that was randomly scattered and not collected.
There were clothes stained with blood that were randomly thrown near the sewer, and there were unknown devices that were not marked as damaged.
"Boss, it seems that this is not our mission today, right?"
Watching the island nation's top male gunman retrieve a large-caliber shotgun from a bungalow, he stood at the door of the room and giggled.
A scavenger walked up and asked, pointing to the empty test tube at his waist with some anxiety.
"What are you afraid of? There are still seven days left for this mission. I'll give him the debt today and I can find more later."
"Besides, we are scavengers, so there's nothing wrong with picking up some equipment!"
