137.Chapter 137: New Policy
It's no wonder that Captain Wang didn't expect Luo Xun and their crystal nuclei to come back, and even the members of the ability team on the other side of the new city rarely leave the base these days, not to mention that Luo Xun and they can get so much? In Captain Wang's opinion, this is not a lot of money at home, but I didn't bring them all last time; It's the crystal nucleus they recently sold their own materials in exchange.
Of course, the two of them would not explain to him the origin of their crystal nucleus, and after exchanging the crystal nucleus with the crystal nucleus, they went downstairs to exchange for other things - the sand crystal nucleus that Xiao Xinran needed still had to go to the window where they often went to exchange it, and in addition to the battery, if you want to go out, it is best to have some batteries at home, just in case. As well as some gasoline.
After changing these things, Luo Xun remembered the seeds he wanted before, after touching the wall at the window outside, the last time he came here, he didn't think about it for a while because of the incident.
"Seeds like barley or oats that don't mutate?" When the staff heard this, they explained to the two in a low voice, "It's not that I won't exchange it for you, it's really ...... Non-mutated seeds are not allowed to be sold at all right now, and we don't have them here. β
This staff member was specially explained by Captain Wang before, and they have cooperated with each other several times, so naturally they will not be perfunctory to Luo Xun and the others.
The two looked at each other in surprise: "Now normal seeds are no longer allowed to be sold out?" β
The staff nodded and whispered to them: "If you really need it, it's best to think of a way to buy it from the staff of the greenhouse planting base, who are responsible for planting and distributing seeds." Of course, the price will definitely be high, and it is up to you whether it is worth it or not. β
Yan Fei heard the meaning of his words, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know anyone?" Rest assured, we don't want much seeds, as long as they are normal seeds that are no problem and can be planted, rest assured, the price is negotiable. As he spoke, he stuffed him with some points. I'm afraid that if you don't get these things quickly now, and if you cultivate them, you might never have a chance to buy them again in the future, so they are still willing to spend more.
Sure enough, after receiving the advantage, the man asked the two to wait for him for a while, and after about a quarter of an hour, he found it, led the two out of the base through the back door, and met the other two people in a corner where no one passed.
The other party only has barley and oat seeds, twenty grains in a pack, and it is really impossible to get out more, and it is required to exchange two second-order crystal nuclei for one pack, or two packs for a total of fifty first-class crystal nuclei.
Luo Xun and the two glanced at each other silently, and finally Luo Xun carefully checked the two packets of seeds, and after confirming that there should be no problem, he took out two second-level crystal nuclei that were not needed - this was what they had originally prepared to change the sand crystal nucleus for Xiao Xinran. Fortunately, they brought out more today, otherwise they would have completely run out of stock after replacing the metal crystal nucleus.
The pile of planting racks on the wall of the house was actually not fully planted, so the first thing the two of them did when they returned home was to put all the forty seeds they had exchanged into the nursery room to germinate. Naturally, the sooner this thing is sent, the better, and the sooner it is harvested, the better, after all, they can't guarantee that these things will be able to find no mutations in the future, right?
I rested at home for a whole day, and by the way, I packed up my things, sorted out the sundries at home, and handled all kinds of vegetables and fruits that had been harvested. At about eight o'clock in the morning on the first day of December, Luo Xun, who was sleepy-eyed and about to go to the bathroom, found his mobile phone flickering. After opening it, a few text message prompts pop up.
"What's wrong?" Yan Fei propped himself up with his arm and asked suspiciously.
"The matter of going out of the city to restructure...... And the materials we have to pay this month......" As he spoke, the corners of Luo Xun's mouth twitched, and he put his mobile phone in front of Yan Fei with a black line, "Take a look, I'll go to the toilet first." β
After Yan Fei read it carefully, he understood why Luo Xun had such an expression, and he had to smoke it if he was himself.
Because they have never done any tasks for their own team to improve the level of the team, or pay the corresponding crystal nuclei - in fact, they can go through the back door from the base to the west or anything, and their own homes that can't go through the back door can also produce, and it is more difficult to complete the tasks every month after upgrading the team, and they are reluctant to those crystal nuclei.
In this message that everyone received early this morning, about the tasks that the squad needs to turn in every month, or complete the task requirements, and upgrade the squad level, this information will only be received by the captain's mobile phone when each squad registers. Others only receive every time they go out of the base team from the original must take the task to get out, changed to a team of more than five people, can go out of the city without taking any tasks, and on the return trip, regardless of whether there is a task to hand in, all the people in the original base have to pay five crystal nuclei when they enter the city, and if there is a task to hand in, they will go directly to the new task hall in the base to hand in the task themselves, and the city gate will no longer deal with this matter.
In addition, there are some new products sold at the base.
Luo Xun washed his face by the way when he was in the bathroom, and was much more sober at this time, and asked after walking back, "Have you finished reading?" β
Yan Fei smiled and nodded: "Well, fortunately, we are not in a hurry to improve the level of the team." β
"Our team is still the most basic F-level, and now we are required to hand over three quilts of one meter eight * two meters within this month, or seven catties of cotton, or forty meters long and two meters wide cotton cloth, or a total of one hundred ......catties of rice and noodles," Yan Fei said while shaking his head with a smile, "If the base really charges the team fee according to this specification, I estimate that few teams can support it."
Luo Xun frowned and sat down beside him to look at the message on his phone with him: "The only thing we can do is thisβfive hundred first-grade crystal nuclei and ten second-level crystal nuclei." β
"Let's go, call them all up."
Li Tie and the others had all gone to work, and those who were still at home happened to be all the abilities of the whole team plus Luo Xun, the captain.
After reading the information on Luo Xun's text message about the team's mandatory mission, Xu Mei and the others took a deep breath one by one, and their expressions were a little indignant: "This is to rob money!" "Five hundred first-level crystal nuclei and ten second-level crystal nuclei, together are five hundred and twenty first-order crystal nuclei, is this what a normal team can afford in a month?
And this is still the requirement of the lowest squad, I really don't know how those A-level and B-level squads still live?
"Anyway, you don't need to register the team information when you leave the base now, why don't we just register and leave the team?" Xu Mei looked up at Luo Xun for advice.
"I'm afraid not." The person who spoke was not Luo Xun, but Zhang Su, who was sitting on the side yawning and had a red mark on his neck that couldn't be concealed--it shows how hard someone worked last night.
"Why?"
Zhang Su pointed to his feet: "Except for the house of the two of them...... No, it should be said that the houses except for the house we live in are all registered in the name of the team, believe it or not, if we go to withdraw the team quota this morning, someone will come to collect the house this afternoon. β
Yan Fei also nodded and said: "This move is clearly to control, target, and weaken the strength of each squad, and the base must have been prepared accordingly when this news was released." We don't need to touch this brow now, in fact, the best way is for us to leave the base tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and come back with some crystal nuclei as soon as possible, set aside this fee first, and then decide whether to pay this fee before the specified time at the end of the month, depending on the situation. β
Everyone looked at each other for a long time before nodding one after another: "It seems that this is the only way now." β
"But in this cold and snowy world, zombies are not too easy to fight!" Song Lingling raised her hand and frowned, "And the weather is bad now, if you go out too many times, you may freeze people." β
Xu Mei also nodded and said: "As soon as this rule comes out, even if everyone disagrees with it, there will inevitably be more people who can go out of the base to fight zombies, so we can't help but consider this issue." β
Luo Xun's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the edge of the table, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "You can try traps." β
"Trap?" Several people repeated in amazement.
"Well, traps, go to places where no one passes, or some places where people won't go at all, everyone work together to make a trap out with their abilities, and every time you go out, go to the trap we have set up to see if there is any gain, of course, this method may accidentally hurt people passing by...... But I think that when the road is closed by heavy snow in winter, I can find an inconspicuous place to try. β
After finishing speaking, Luo Xun looked around at everyone again: "We go to these traps every time we go out to see the situation, but we still fight how we want to fight, as for the traps, let's collect them to see how to get them so that they are not easy to be discovered, and it is not easy for things other than zombies to fall in...... "This is actually really not easy, and one is not careful will hurt the innocent." Usually they use traps when they go out because their people are in the center of the trap, and they can see anything outside, and if someone actually passes by, those people will not stupidly jump into the trap.
But these traps used to catch zombies are different, if they are too obvious, once they are discovered, they will make wedding dresses for people, but if they are too hidden, they may even pit people together......
As for the inside and outside of the day or two -- "Okay, the two of us have no opinion. Xu Mei glanced at Song Lingling, and the two ladies nodded.
Zhang Su also shook his wrist: "No comment." β
The judgmental people present had no opinions, and when Li Tie and the others came back in the evening, they naturally would not have any opinions, and they all expressed their support on the spot.
It's just that Li Tie and the others came back from the barracks after a day of work today, and in addition to expressing their attitudes, they also brought back some latest news - "The military sent a lot of military vehicles, tanks, and strangers to surround the new city early in the morning!" It is said that yesterday when we were on holiday, the Alien surrounded the barracks for a long time to protest!! β
Luo Xun was silent, he said that although there was indeed a conflict between the military and the supernatural in his previous life, he had never made such a fuss! Although he doesn't remember whether the military changed the requirements for the squad's monthly tasks to be turned in, he remembers that after the end of the year after he arrived at the base, there were many fewer squads in the base.
Maybe he changed it at that time, but at that time, he no longer participated in the mission, and no one wanted an ordinary person like him with no abilities, Luo Xun, who changed to the farming route, had no contact with those people with abilities, and it was normal not to know the specific news.
But he was sure that he had never heard of such a hot confrontation between the two sides.
A few of them began to explain in detail what they had seen this morning, and when they arrived near the barracks early in the morning, they found that the road was under martial law, and after inquiring about it, they found out that there was a conflict between the military and the place where the Anomalous lived.
The onlookers outside didn't know what was going on, but they knew that there had been an incident here yesterday.
Li Tie and the others had no choice but to call their superiors, or one of their colleagues came out to pick up someone. They only heard the specific news after they entered the barracks. Anyway, these two days have been very lively.
After hearing this, Xu Mei and Song Lingling said with a smile: "So I really have to see the situation." β
"But we still have to go out as much as possible, so it's better to get more crystal nuclei and come back than if they do come to collect things?" Luo Xun expressed helplessness, and said to Li Tie and them, "Let's go out to fight the distribution of zombie crystal nuclei ......."
Several people said very respectfully: "That's the crystal nucleus that Brother Luo went out to fight alone, of course it's your own income." "It's like the points and things that the five of them earn when they go to work are their own.
Having said that, since Li Tie and the others started to bring food, their meal cards were no longer needed, and the brains of these five people turned fast enough to immediately "rent" their meal cards to other colleagues who had a lot of food, or people in need in the army.
Since the military set the rule of one card per card, many people in the army who have a large amount of food have suddenly become much more difficult, because they have a large amount of food, they cannot eat enough, and it is inconvenient for them to go out to buy things. If you have a large amount of food, you will naturally have a small amount of food, and some people who need points and crystal nuclei will "rent" their meal cards, and Li Tie and they will also use the same method. This income can also be regarded as their extra money.
Luo Xun said with a smile: "We have discussed it during the day, and the crystal nuclei that the six of us go out to fight will also take out a part of it and put it into the team's public use depending on the situation, and the crystal nucleus materials that our team needs to pay every month will also come out of here." "After all, the weather has been bad lately, and half of them are more capable, so it doesn't matter to them to take care of the team's problems a little more.
After discussing it for a while, the group said that in the future, when everyone went out on missions, they would also put a part of the share they got into the team's public expenditure. After all, Luo Xun's ability is stronger, but there is no need for them to raise a whole team, right? What's more, in fact, Li Tie and the others who don't need to consume crystal nuclei really don't have much to spend.
Just add some bedding and daily necessities to the house before winter, which is still a situation where these things cannot be grown or obtained for the time being. After that, the family ate all kinds of products grown by their own families, and all kinds of items made with Yan Fei's non-metal ability, and they hardly had to spend any extra money, and the number of integral crystal nuclei saved by them was far more than that of Yan Fei and them!
"Alas...... I really don't want to go out, but I still have to ......" Luo Xun complained as he returned to his home. The weather outside was so cold, he really wanted to stay at home for the whole winter before thinking about going out! It's a pity that the base was better before the regulations for managing the team were changed, and if they saved a little, they could really spend a winter in the base. Can ...... now Even if they want to be a cat winter, they have to have this opportunity!
Of course, if they can get all the crystal nuclei for the rest of the winter this time, they will still be able to catfish to their heart's content after that!
Yan Fei patted him on the shoulder: "The crystal nucleus at home is actually enough, and the storage in the team is enough to pay this month's ......."
Before his words were finished, Luo Xun shook his head again and again: "No, no, let's go." Sooner or later, it will become useless. Now, although the vegetables at home can be exchanged for some crystal nuclei after being sold, it is completely insufficient to use them for the tasks of the squad and then for our abilities. β
Everything has to be considered in the long run, and there must always be some old books in hand to make people feel at ease, right?
Luo Xun had already figured out during the day that it would be more appropriate to go to where to get crystal nuclei if he went out this time - if he went to the north of the city, the number of high-level zombies was too small. If you go to the place you usually go to, they have just returned from there, and it is estimated that there are not many zombies in the vicinity now.
In this way, Luo Xun searched the map and settled on a certain location near the eastern base - the same ruins after the original bombing, and it was also a barren place that no one dared to go to now.
Early the next morning, before Li Tie and the others left, the whole team gathered again, and handed over the housekeeping to Li Tie and them, and the little guy was also put in Xu Mei's house, waiting for Li Tie and them to take care of the situation after they returned. The things that need to be taken out were sorted out yesterday, and even the food and drink were all taken care of.
As for the mushroom juice - they had a lot of it at home, and they didn't even manage to take it out the last time they went out because it was a sled. However, the gasoline was changed back by Luo Xun and Yan Fei when they went to the barracks two days ago.
Fortunately, although everyone came back from going out last time with the intention of taking a good vacation, Luo Xun, who couldn't be idle, still pulled Yan Fei to tinker with their improved sleigh when he had nothing to do, and finally solved the problem of electric heating of the water heating in the body.
Loading things into the trucks, the men only carried down two sleds this time, but two cars drove out - mainly for gasoline and mushroom juice plus weapons.
As they drove towards the city gate, they found that there seemed to be more people in the base, and the number of people who would normally wait at the gate of the base had suddenly decreased.
When everyone returns to the city, they have to pay five crystal nuclei or corresponding points and materials, which not everyone can afford. Of course, if the pot can't be opened at home, there will still be people who take risks and go out.
But the summer and the winter are completely two concepts, when you go out in the summer, everyone will die in the mouth of the zombie at most, in winter, there is no warm clothes, except for dying under the mouth of the zombie, the more likely is to be frozen to death in the ice and snow!
Now that this new regulation has been introduced in the base, everyone knows very well that if the base does not change the rules this time, I am afraid that many squads will have to be disbanded.
What is the impact of disbanding most of the squad on the base? On the good side, it is necessary to reduce the number of non-military personnel in the base, to recycle a bunch of idle houses and industries that are deliberately attached to the name of the team, and to allow more people to be idle and participate in more "normal" work in the base.
On the downside, it will allow these "bankrupt" squads to protest and demonstrate, potentially triggering clashes between the military and the Adepts. As a result, a large number of people have lost their original "jobs", and many have to risk going out in groups......
But now the base is ready to stab the people in Xincheng, so naturally they don't care about the possibility of triggering more conflicts between the two sides, and more people have to take the risk of going out...... Every time they come back after they go out, they can bring five crystal nuclei to the base, although it is not as many as the number of crystal nuclei that each team had to pay when they came back when they went out, but it increased the number of times and opportunities for people to go out in disguise.
You must know that in the past, when the team went out to do tasks, in order to reduce their own losses, they would often go out with other teams to do a certain task together. Even if there is only one team, for example, there are a total of 200 members in their team, but they only take on the task of fighting 200 crystal nuclei, and the other teams with a small number of people feel that this kind of task is not cost-effective, and turn to take on some tasks that have no difficulty and value to avoid, so the loss is the military!
With such a restructuring, it doesn't matter how many people you go out at one time? Anyway, when they come back, everyone has to pay crystal nuclei, so that the income of the base will not fall but rise, which is a good thing for them.
In this way, although the ratio of advantages and disadvantages is fifty-fifty, the disadvantages are either what they don't mind, or they can be improved sooner or later, or they are beneficial, and those bigwigs in the base are naturally willing to choose to restructure. As for the new city, they are bound to make the base their home, and there are many squads whose backgrounds are leaning under the military, but after their wings are stiffened, they are tempted to fly alone. Now that this is the case, it is only a matter of time before they compromise.
There was no longer a need to register when they left the city, and Luo Xun and the others soon entered the patio where they were ready to go out. There are already a few cars parked here, but the number is much smaller than usual, and these cars are at least modified and off-road vehicles, such as Luo Xun and their strange appearance is very rare.
