Chapter 197: Recruitment
Zhou Guoping came with good news from the sixth block.
The Black Blood Mercenary Group accepted the mercenary group and began to march towards the Taipu River the next day. Counting the additional recruits, these eighty-five mercenary groups are a large force in the wasteland.
When Zhou Guoping threw out the bait of 10% of the income from the food trade, Luo Yang agreed without saying a word.
The boom in the food business in the Sixth Block has proven its profitability. And the Zhao Group, which controls all the market share, has made a lot of money for this, which is obvious to all the people in the sixth block.
Hearing Zhou Guoping's words, and then thinking of the relationship between the fish bone base and the Zhao Group, Luo Yang understood it. It turned out that the food flowing into the sixth block actually came from the fish bone base! Presumably, the sewer entrance controlled by Zhao Chenwu's old fox led to the fish bone base.
However, he didn't say anything about this news, after all, the fewer people who knew about this news, the more beneficial it would naturally be for him. If he could get a share of the trade route leading to Liuding Town, he would have to go ahead with this task! With the prestige of the Black Blood Mercenary Group, transporting goods from Qingpu to Liuding Town, which is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, is not a problem at all.
With this stable income, the equipment and scale of the Black Blood Mercenary Group will be further expanded, and his status will also rise. When the time comes, he will become a member of the parliament, and he Luo Yang will also step into the ranks of the powerful in the inner circle!
However, although he accepted the commission, he was still confused by one point.
Since the relationship between the Fish Bone Base and the Zhao Group is not ordinary, why didn't they ask the Zhao Group for help? In order to protect the interests in their hands, why would Zhao Chenwu also send troops to support?
Jiang Chen naturally didn't think of this question.
merely
"Why are you in trouble again?" Sitting in the virtual conference room, Zhao Chenwu smiled bitterly.
"It's just that trouble has come to me. Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly.
"The sixth block hasn't been peaceful lately, and I really can't spare the mutants in the seventh place, why don't you consider relocating?" Zhao Chenwu proposed after pondering for a moment.
"Relocation? That would mean that my previous efforts had been in vain. I spent at least 400,000 subcrystals on the construction of this base, no matter what. I will not abandon this base either. What's more, I still have a chance to win. ”
"Good luck with that batch of Sentinel Machine Guns, I've completed the contract under pressure from the Council, and I'll be able to deliver it to you tomorrow. ”
"Under pressure, when did the council encourage default?" Jiang Chen said in a joking tone.
"Extraordinary times. ”
"What kind of trouble are you encountering?" saw the solemnity on Zhao Chenwu's face. The look on Jiang Chen's face couldn't help but become serious.
"Although it is a secret, it is estimated that after some time the military junta, the military junta, which controls the northern United Territory, has also spread to us, and a declaration of war has been issued to us, and it is moving here. ”
"Is that them?"
"Have you heard about it already?" Zhao Chenwu saw the surprise on Jiang Chen's face. He shrugged his shoulders and continued, "For the wreckage of a space-based weapon that fell in a corner of the city center, I couldn't feel comfortable running thousands of miles away. ”
Zhao Chenwu obviously misunderstood something. The reason why Jiang Chen was surprised was only because the mutant who teamed up to attack Qingpu seemed to be an organization from the Northern Unified Region. It's just that it's not a gendarme, it's an organization that sounds weird when you hear the name - the Twilight Church.
"The Staff of God?" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
"That's right. In order to resist the aggression of the Northern Union, the Committee of Ten voted to approve a proposal. It would not be so troublesome to form a defensive line on the outskirts to resist the attack of the Northern Coalition Zone. ”
A haze flashed across Zhao Chenwu's face, and he paused and continued.
"Although it was said that it would wait until the foreign enemy was repelled before plotting. But almost all of them are sending exploration teams to the city center. Especially when the commission of one million subcrystals spread, everyone went crazy. Originally, those idiots were quite reserved and just went quietly, but now they are completely torn and sent out a convoy to rush into the city center. It's like killing a red-eyed gambler at the table. ”
"Didn't anyone find it stupid to do this at this juncture?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"Everyone has to be stupid, including me," Zhao Chenwu stared at the table with a gloomy face, "Once anyone gets that thing, it will be a nightmare for everyone else." It can control the life and death of all people, just as it is a scepter truly granted to God. ”
As he spoke, a look of madness flashed between the hero's eyebrows.
"Imagine that. If there is a sword, hang over everyone's heads. Who else can rebel against your rule? All it takes is a tungsten rod bullet that can't be intercepted to silence all the voices of resistance. And this sword, it lies right in the center of the city. Behind us all. God now wants everyone to be a sword-bearer. ”
"This damn democracy. ”
Everybody wants to be a dictator.
If there had been only one voice in the beginning, there would have been no such mess
It was impossible to ask Zhao Chenwu for help, but it was expected.
The chips in hand are enough, and one or two fewer guests will not affect the progress of the fireworks show.
Counting the addition of the Black Blood Mercenary Group, the number of soldiers who can shoot the front line in the Fish Bone Base has reached two hundred. Although there is still an N-fold numerical difference in the face of mutants. But he still had one last move to make.
That's the survivor of Qingpu!
Since the last expedition, they have rallied under the banner of fish bones. After more than a month of trade exchanges, the bond between the two sides has been strengthened.
All along, Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to these people, he was just waiting for an opportunity.
A chance for him to gather everyone again, a chance to show off the strength of the fish bones again.
And now, the opportunity has come.
Outside the main gate of the Fish Bone Base, in front of the cement room used to exchange materials in the past, there is a long queue at this moment.
"Long time no see, Gangzi. hugged this old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time, Ma Zhongcheng, who was wearing a thick leather jacket, looked at Zhao Gang's cold-proof clothes with some envy. This one is only afraid of thirty or forty subcrystals, which is equivalent to the price of a ripper rifle.
is still so taciturn, but when he sees his old friend, Zhao Gang's face still shows a smile.
Yesterday, he was transferred back by Jiang Chen, and Cheng Weiguo was transferred to the front line again.
Pulling Ma Zhongcheng aside, Zhao Gang handed him a cigarette, put a cigarette in his mouth, and then took out the lighter.
"How's it going? ”
"That's it, good thing, what brand?"
"The base is homegrown. "Anyway, the boss brought it back, saying that it was employee benefits, where did it come from, Zhao Gang didn't ask or think about it.
"Tsk, it's so cold this winter, and you're really moisturizing. Glancing enviously at the large-caliber machine gun on the wall, Ma Zhongcheng said with a cigarette in his mouth.
"It's supposed to be us, isn't it?"
The two of them looked at each other, and then they both laughed.
The queue in front of the cement room was slowly moving forward, and the people who came out of the house changed into a uniformly distributed winter suit, and entered the base under the guidance of the staff.
According to the agreement, all survivors who join the army at Fishbone Base will be assigned a flathouse and will be given the ration of a superior citizen, while their families will be pared with a ration of an inferior citizen. As you become a knight, your family will also be a high-class citizen.
As of today, more than two dozen community-level survivor groups have joined the Fish Bone Base. Those people were unified into the newly formed Foreign Legion, with Zhao Gang as the commander, and there are currently only 81 people, but all of them are good marksmanship.
With a little training, they can become a huge force.
So far, the combat power of the fish bone base has exceeded 300.
The day of the decisive battle is approaching. (To be continued.) )
