Volume II San Diego 077 Unexpected Invitation

After seeing that Odom's caravan was directly sent by the Buffalo Town Administration to protect the direct entry into the Buffalo Town Military Zone, James said to Ye Hao: "I heard that Odom personally led a team to raid a factory area near the coast half a month ago, although the loss is a bit big, but it seems that the harvest is not small. Thinking of Buffalo Town's importance to Odom, he said with annoyance: "No wonder Odom can get more and more moisturized, and I can only form a small gathering place of hundreds of people, barely starving to death." But in terms of courage, there is a huge gap between me and him. Odom is very ambitious, this batch of machine tools should allow him to exchange enough food from Buffalo Town, and the strength of the blood wolf will be greatly enhanced. ”

From James's account, Ye Hao learned that the blood wolf gathering place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the lack of land suitable for farming, if Buffalo Town can barely guarantee the supply of food, then the blood wolf gathering place is extremely lacking in food, and people will starve to death almost every day, and it is said that it is almost to the point of cannibalism. The fact that the Blood Wolf Colony only has a population of tens of thousands is also the cause of food scarcity, and once the problem is solved, then Odom will become a bad wolf who chooses to eat people.

The higher-ups of Buffalo Town are not fools, and of course they understand Odom's intentions, but the Buffalo Town Authority also suffers. Buffalo Town was rebuilt after a devastating setback to the San Diego area human survivor base, when hundreds of thousands of human survivors desperately needed a stable place to live, so the original Buffalo Town, which was located in a mountainous area and had a lot of arable land, was the choice. Now that a few months have passed, and the human survivors of Buffalo Town have struggled back from the brink of extinction, developing their own power and resisting the zombies who may besiege the city again at any time is a problem that the Buffalo Town management must face. And the only way to solve these problems is industrialization, only industrialization can produce all kinds of vehicles to shorten the time and space distance of various gathering places, and only industrialization can produce enough thermal weapons to resist the threat of zombies and mutant beasts.

So, of course, the Buffalo Town Authority is trying its best to get all kinds of industrial machinery to save the situation at a disadvantage. Odom's vision was very accurate, and he was able to find the problem of Buffalo Town, and directly led a team to raid the factory area, exchanging the machine tools that Buffalo Town urgently needed for food. Although the price paid is not small, the rewards are also great.

Thinking that others dare not think, doing what others dare not do, this Odom, it seems that he is quite a character, no wonder he can survive in the last days, and his achievements are not small.

If Odom was the force of Buffalo Town, Ye Hao wouldn't pay too much attention to it, but according to James, Odom and his Maple Town were not far away. In the past, the reservoir where Maple Town was located would not necessarily be taken to Odom's heart, but after Ye Hao established Maple Town, it would inevitably be greatly developed, so Maple Town would become a piece of fat to attract Odom's attention, and it happened that Odom had obtained enough food from Buffalo Town this time, and the shackles that restricted the development of the blood wolf were untied, would Odom still be willing to entrench in his lair?

This is also one of the reasons why Ye Hao came to check on the situation of the Blood Wolf Caravan, and there are not many opportunities to observe future opponents up close. Actually, Ye Hao is not worried about Odom's covetousness, he has the system BUG and the real world as a backing, once Odom stretches out his claws, Ye Hao is completely sure that he will chop off his claws and then break a few of his teeth. The current problem of Maple Leaf Town is that the population is too small, as long as the population problem is solved, Ye Hao has the confidence to compete with Buffalo Town. "Perhaps, it's time to increase the strength of Maple Leaf Town. Ye Hao secretly made a decision.

Since he arrived in Buffalo Town, Ye Hao hadn't done a good job, and at this time he came to the residential area. It's a bit of a real-life slum, with hawkers everywhere, shouting and soliciting business. There are many post-apocalyptic snacks that can be found everywhere, and these snacks are almost non-carnivorous, all pasta. Buffalo Town also grows rapeseed, and after refining the vegetable oil, various pasta dishes are fried, and the aroma is still very attractive.

A palm-sized tortilla, after being fried in oil, was sold at a first-class light red crystal, which was not too expensive. Many corpse hunters usually use this kind of corn tortillas to satisfy their hunger. There are also other foods such as hash browns made with mashed potatoes that are about the same price. As for the food made of flour and rice, Ye Hao didn't see it, thinking that those foods were not circulated in the market, or only appeared on the tables of the elite and management class of Buffalo Town.

The seemingly dilapidated settlement, walking through the flow of people like the poor, nibbling on all kinds of pasta and snacks in their hands, but it has a different market atmosphere, and it is like the plot of a movie.

This time, I came out not only to observe Odom, but also to sell out the goods he brought, and it was time to return. Now it's time to think about what to bring back to Maple Leaf Town, and you can't go home empty-handed.

The specialty of Buffalo Town is actually grain-based, with a small amount of other precious crops. And the grain in Maple Leaf Town was purchased by Ye Hao in modern society and transported to the end of the world through the system space, which was cheap and convenient to transport.

Therefore, it is indeed a stupid idea to buy food in Buffalo Town and return to Maple Leaf Town, and Ye Hao certainly wouldn't be so stupid.

So what should be acquired?

After a short day of strolling around the humble streets, almost the entire Buffalo Town, it was also fruitless. Ye Hao sighed: Buffalo Town, apart from food, there is really nothing that can be handled.

After wandering around for a long time, everyone was tired, so they found a big banyan tree and sat down.

Ye Hao picked up the kettle he carried, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, drank a few sips of water, and asked, "James, you say, what kind of goods should we bring with us on our return trip this time?"

After so many days of selling goods, the situation in Buffalo Town, these people in the convoy all know about it. This is also Ye Hao's biggest headache, otherwise he would have brought something casually from modern society, and no one in Maple Town would have cared anyway.

James was also very distressed, they all knew everything in Buffalo Town, but they were too selective, and they really couldn't give any good advice.

In the end, Ye Hao still didn't find the goods that he could bring back to Maple Leaf Town, so he had no choice but to give up. But after thinking about it, Ye Hao was relieved again, it was precisely because Maple Town lacked nothing that they couldn't find the goods they brought back, which was a good thing at this time.

It was already evening when Ye Hao and the others returned to their camp, but Ye Hao found that the charming Kate was waiting for him in the camp. She didn't wear professional clothes today, but casually wore a casual short outfit, revealing a white swaying patch of thighs.

Ye Hao shook his head and sighed, scolded secretly, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind is blowing the beautiful Miss Kate here?" I remember, I don't have any goods in my hands. Could it be that Miss Kate really has a crush on her little brother?"

Kate didn't get angry because she had waited for a long time, she threw Ye Hao a wink with a smile, "Robert, what are you talking about? Could it be that Kate is that kind of person? It's okay, can't I come to you to walk around? Now the people of the whole Buffalo Town are fanatically pursuing the goods you brought, and you are now a celebrity in Buffalo Town." Even if I, Kate, have a crush on you, I'm afraid it's Robert, you don't like Kate's puff willow, right?"

Ye Hao sneered and said, "A busy person like Miss Kate must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what to tell this time?"

"Hehe, this time I'm here on behalf of the Buffalo Town Authority. After speaking, Kate handed an invitation to Ye Hao: "If you don't have a certain strength, you don't have such an opportunity to be invited by the Authority." I remember that since the founding of Buffalo Town, there have been absolutely no more than 10 people like you who have been invited. Her eyes smiled like crescents.

After receiving the invitation, Ye Hao was not as happy as he imagined, but frowned and looked at Kate. "I'm afraid this matter isn't as simple as just wanting to invite me to dinner, right?"

Kate smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry, you come to the tax issue of goods, with us, we will definitely not let the Authority seize any handles." The fact that the Authority was able to invite you should not be a bad thing. If you want to do business here in Buffalo Town in the future, there are some necessary rules that need to be followed. I think...... They should be talking to you about these rules. This is a great opportunity, and if you take it, I believe it will do you a lot of good. ”

It seems that there is no meaning in the words, but Ye Hao understands a lot.

This matter is not up to Ye Hao to say, after all, he is now on the territory of Buffalo Town, and in order to develop in the San Diego area in the future, he also needs to have a good relationship with the Buffalo Town Authority, at least not to stiffen. However, Kate has a good saying, without a certain strength, it is estimated that the bigwigs of the Buffalo Town Administration will not care about Ye Hao, which at least shows that Ye Hao has attracted the attention of the high-level of Buffalo Town.

Ye Hao accepted the invitation, and under the leadership of Kate, he took a car and soon entered the military restricted area in the center of Buffalo Town. It is also home to the Buffalo Town Authority, which has been converted from a former town building, with a six-story office building and dozens of two- and three-story houses.

The invitation is a pass, and under the leadership of Kate, Ye Hao quickly arrived at the canteen on the first floor of the office building. The cafeteria had a simple table of food, and a few people who appeared to hold positions in the Authority had been waiting for a long time.

Ye Hao felt very strange, with the status of the Authority, a businessman like himself didn't need to use any invitations at all, and he didn't need to put this meal on the table. At least although his apparent strength is good, it will not cause such a stirring reception from the Authority.

Kate led Ye Hao to the cafeteria, her face that was originally just smiling was about to burst into laughter, and she consciously acted as an intermediary to introduce everyone present.

Oban is a white man with a rich face, as the deputy director of the management bureau, as the head of Buffalo Town at this banquet, he first shook hands with Ye Hao, and after greeting Ye Hao to sit down with a smile on his face, he said politely: "It's hard to believe that Mr. Robert is so young, he already has a lot of strength, and our Buffalo Town is about to be upset by the goods you brought." ”

Ye Hao showed a flattered look, and after being polite, he said very smartly: "I don't know if Director Auburn called me over, what orders do I have? As long as you can do it, you will definitely cooperate." ”

Oban laughed and said, "If Mr. Robert is really refreshing, then I will no longer be polite and have something to say." As far as we know, Mr. Ye came to our San Diego area from the north, and he was able to travel thousands of kilometers in the zombie-ridden apocalypse, which shows that Mr. Robert's courage is extraordinary. Since Mr. Robert is willing to settle in our San Diego area, then we are family. After Auburn finished speaking, he raised his glass: "I propose, let's welcome friends from the north, cheers!"

Everyone present raised their glasses and drank the wine from the glasses.

After Auburn and the others sat down, he paused, and then said, "Presumably Mr. Robert also knows that our Buffalo Town is based on food, but lacks an industrial foundation. I've heard that there are many factories and mines near your settlement, so I asked Mr. Robert to come over this time in the hope that Mr. Robert will help us bring some industrial equipment when he visits us in Buffalo Town next time. In terms of price, we will never treat you badly, as long as you can get the goods to you, we will definitely give Mr. Robert a satisfactory price. ”

Speaking of this, Auburn pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "Of course, if we can cooperate, then we can be exempt from taxation like the 'food necessities' that Mr. Robert brought this time." I don't know what Mr. Robert thinks, but it's a win-win opportunity. ”

Hearing the other party bite the word 'necessities' extremely hard, Ye Hao's heart also jumped, it seemed that they had already known that there was a problem with the taxes they paid. Auburn's meaning is already very obvious: if they are willing to cooperate, everyone will be fine, if they are unwilling to cooperate, I am afraid that it is just tax evasion, they can detain Ye Hao openly, and then slowly concoct themselves.

And what Auburn said at the beginning was also full of meaning: we have figured out the details of you, you are just a newcomer to San Diego, although you have two brushes, but you are too weak compared to us, and we are more than capable of making you unable to establish yourself in the San Diego area. In a word, it's either a friend or an enemy!

"Sure enough, it's a Hongmen banquet!" Ye Hao sighed secretly: his strength is still too weak, at least in the eyes of the high-level of Buffalo Town, killing himself is no different from pinching an ant to death. So fool you first, and we'll see.
