Loli has three good, light body and soft body is easy to push down.

Of course, Jiang Chen did not take the opportunity to eat Yao Yao, although the small animal was already "cooked".

It always feels like eating her at this time is a bit bad in every sense of the word.

Or do you want to raise it first, at least wait for the side effects of inhibitors (growth arrest) to be alleviated, or wait for Yao Yao to be fully mentally prepared?

So he wiped off his nosebleeds and comforted Yao Yao, who was in a state of confusion, and left in a hurry.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has restrained himself and has not done anything like a beast.

In the evening, Jiang Chen came to the conference room of the community center and started a wireless video call with Zhao Chenwu.

The pale blue lines and light particles paint a full-body portrait of Zhao Chenwu. The man with deep eye sockets and a very majestic demeanor smiled and stretched out his right hand to welcome Jiang Chen after seeing him.

Jiang Chen also smiled, and then stretched out his right hand and passed over the holographic image's right hand.

Of course, this hand cannot be touched, but it is just a kind of etiquette similar to a handshake, which will only appear in the virtual conference room. Before starting the call, Sun Jiao had already popularized science to Jiang Chen.

As long as you sit in a chair at the negotiating table, your holograms will appear in the opposite position in the other room. Considering that the real-time exchange of information is important for both parties, this set of equipment was sold by Zhao Chenwu to Jiang Chen at a 50% discount. I have to praise this heroic strategic vision, which is definitely a high-return investment in the long run.

What better solution could be than in person?

Speaking of which, Jiang Chen never thought that there was such a magical thing in this world. He has only seen it in certain science fiction movies.

"Long time no see, Boss Jiang. To save time, let's get straight to the point. Unlike the negotiations of the present world, the negotiations of the last days are often long stories and short stories. Because no one is really interested in anyone's sycophancy, even if they are allies who call themselves brothers and sisters on weekdays, in the end everyone only cares about their own interests, after all, it is about survival.

In addition, the device costs 1 point of subcrystalline for every minute it is turned on. Although there is no shortage of this money, there are still few polite words.

"It doesn't hurt to be straight. Jiang Chen made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile.

"I want to be able to increase the volume of trade. Especially for canned fruit, the current gap on my side has reached more than 1000. Zhao Chenwu waved his finger, and a holographic data panel rose in the center of the negotiation table, listing his various needs.

The number of canned meat was increased to 10,000, the number of canned fruits was increased to 8,000, the number of compressed biscuits was increased to 100,000, and the number of instant noodles was increased to 20,000. According to the last price, the total trade volume directly reached 450,000 subcrystals!

Jiang Chen gasped.

The cost of 450,000 pieces of moderately configured power armor is only about 10,000.

"With all due respect, with such a big list, can you take out so many subcrystals?, or do you have the ability to digest so many goods?" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.

Although the population of the Sixth Block is quite large, there are definitely not many people who can afford these "luxuries".

Zhao Chenwu smiled slightly when he heard this, and didn't do anything to hide, he waved his hand directly, and a document composed of holographic projections "slid to" Jiang Chen's desk from his side.

"It's not something to hide, in order to deal with the recent zombie movement around the sixth block, the committee of ten voted on an expedition proposal to clean up the last two sources of unidentified bacterial spread. The plan is divided into two routes, A and B, and is jointly 'invested' by a committee of 10 people. I participated in the investment project with 31 Power Armor Fighters and a Spider Tank, and I will receive a 21% dividend on Route A. ”

"Clearing the source of diffusion and still making profits??" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

He remembered that not all zombies would condense subcrystals on the back of their heads, and even if they were alienated into a dangerous species like Roshan, their subcrystalline energy would only fluctuate between 40-50.

"Not only that, but a lot. Zhao Chenwu smiled mysteriously, and then called up another piece of data, "The total income of the A action route is expected to be 1.2 million subcrystals, and the cost of ammunition consumed is only about 100,000 subcrystals, which is completely negligible compared to the income. ”

1,700,000 subcrystals?

This number startled Jiang Chen, but after then reading the document thrown by Zhao Chenwu, a sudden expression appeared on his face.

In the large-scale survivor attack, ordinary xenomorphs are naturally unable to compete, and no one will let go of the subcrystals on their bodies. In addition, the zombies shrouded by this variant of bacteria have almost all condensed biological crystals called subcrystals because of the abundant energy they have obtained, which is also the reason for the increase in their combat power.

However, under the fire network of thermal weapons, these zombies are zombies after all, no matter how crazy they are. Not to mention the crisis, the sixth block can simply make a lot of money in this operation! Even if each zombie only grows 1 point of subcrystals, killing 100,000 is still 100,000 subcrystals! What's more, the closer to the location of the "fungus source", the higher the energy content of the zombies condensed. Looking at what is written on that document, the subcrystalline energy limit of a single zombie can even reach 20!

Counting the xenos encountered on the road, even if it is a troublesome thing like Roshan, it is not a problem at all in front of the tank. Unless it's downtown, with the firepower of the Sixth Block, there's no danger at all.

And that's not the point. When a large army is sent out in the Sixth Block, it will inevitably be followed by a large group of survivors or individuals waiting to pick up the slack. Of course, they definitely don't dare to do things like "robbing monsters". But under the protection of the "big brother", playing the autumn wind around and digging up some subcrystals was still tacitly agreed. After all, no matter how you say it, it's all a camp, and those monsters that can't be killed are naturally the more dead the better.

If they run into something like Deadclaw that can't be won, they'll just duck to the big army and they're done. Not to mention whether Deathclaw dared to come up when he saw so many people, even if he did, it was just a matter of one shot.

The rise in per capita wealth will drive consumption. Even Jiang Chen, who has never studied economics, knows this truth.

"In addition, the consumables for this expedition will be converted into subcrystals and openly collected from the people of the sixth block. Yields are expected to reach 15%, with 1,341 'middle class' expected to be born. The rise in per capita wealth will inevitably drive consumption, and consumption will stimulate the already weak industry in the sixth block, and the rise in industrial capacity will certainly make the subcrystalline as an energy source relatively increase in value in the sixth block!

It's a pretty good blueprint, although talking about the economy in the wasteland sounds a little inexplicably joyful.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"You guys are hanging like this, why didn't you hit the city center before?"

"Ahem, that's a thankless task, and the situation in the city center is a bit special, but this expedition to the periphery of the city center is absolutely sure to make a profit!"

Looking at Zhao Chenwu who was talking endlessly, a wry smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

Is this the benefit of using energy directly as currency?

Things like industrial raw materials can be obtained through recycling, but energy has always been a problem that restricts the production of various survivor bases.

Before the war, industrial facilities basically relied on helium-3 thermonuclear reactors to operate, but not to mention the helium-3 mining sites on the moon have long been bombed into space junk, and there is no intact nuclear power plant on the ground. These things were the focus of attention in wartime.

As a result, lightweight, efficient and "renewable" subcrystals have become the mainstream energy substances and hard currency in the wasteland.

As long as industry continues to function, there is no need to think about inflation, the increase in commodities and the passive appreciation of money directly drive the hunting enthusiasm of the survivors. Hunting for subcrystals in exchange for commodities, increasing factory production, passive appreciation of subcrystals, stimulating consumption and hunting, and exploring dangerous areas

What a virtuous circle.

In the past, no one was interested in wasting bullets and killing zombies without subcrystals. It's not that the hungry can't stand it, and no one wants to risk their lives to hunt the intractable xenomorphs. However, the zombies of this generation are generally pregnant with subcrystals under the influence of unknown bacteria. Follow the large army to sneak around and come back, carrying a backpack full of subcrystals, change to more reliable equipment, and then the risk of hunting xenos will be greatly reduced.

At that time, even if this group of zombies pregnant with sub-crystals are wiped out, the survivors who have changed their armament will be able to obtain sub-crystals by hunting xenomorphs.

It was like a spark that completely ignited this originally lifeless firewood.

It can be said that after this expedition, the sixth block will usher in a sea change!

, Jiang Chen was jealous, and at the same time, he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Although it is still some distance from the Sixth Block, it is impossible to say how much influence it will cover. After all, it was a neutral zone with an open door, and even the survivor groups near Jiang Chen would occasionally send people there to "catch the market".

Upgrading the equipment of nearby survivors is not a good thing for the newborn fish bones.

The bandits, who were originally armed with assault rifles, suddenly have the money to replace them with bazookas, or even sophisticated Gauss rifles, which will undoubtedly put great pressure on the defense of the base. At present, the defense force in the base is only a few light machine guns, some individual anti-tank weapons, and gun grenades or something.

Although Jiang Chen also wanted to buy a tank and put it at the base, he also had that Yajing, but it was impossible for people to sell it. After all, heavy firepower equipment such as tanks is basically converted from scrap products recovered from the battlefield, and the number is pitiful.

Building a power armor from scratch may be nothing, but even if you have the technology, you don't have the conditions for it.

His eyes flickered slightly, and Jiang Chen secretly thought to himself, he had to think of a way to update the armament of the base.

If you can't buy it in the sixth block, why don't you try it in Liuding Town?

However, Jiang Chen's expression was understood in Zhao Chenwu's eyes as showing a strong interest in the benefits brought by the expedition. The corners of Zhao Chenwu's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, in his opinion, Jiang Chen was already moved.

"How about it, Boss Jiang, I believe you should also understand, if we take advantage of this golden period to open up the food market, I believe that no one will be interested in something as unpalatable as nutritional mixture. ”
