Chapter Seventy-One: The Unspoken Rules of the Base
"So what are we going to do tomorrow? Today is basically equivalent to doing nothing, so what are you going to do tomorrow, and still do the task? Shen Meng asked.
Yes, what you have to do tomorrow must be discussed tonight, otherwise it will be too much time to discuss tomorrow, but should this be included in the team system, Du Zining was a little hesitant, so she was a little slower when answering Shen Meng's question, and her tone was a little hesitant: "Let's continue to do the task tomorrow, we are not familiar with this place, and it is difficult to inquire about the news, and we are so anxious to inquire about the news, as if there is no silver three hundred taels here, so don't go out of your way to inquire about the news." ”
The more Du Zining thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and the tone of her voice became more and more affirmative: "You can't not care about it at all, that also seems very wrong." Ah, I hope the task I received tomorrow won't be as weird as yesterday's task, obviously we didn't do anything, but we made a fuss. When we go to pick up the mission tomorrow, we can ask the staff in the mission hall how the follow-up development of yesterday's mission is. As for whether he answers or not, it's none of our business, anyway, we just need to ask and show our concern. ”
Thinking of yesterday's mission, Du Zining, who had always been calm, frowned a little irritably, although they did this task without any casualties, which was a very happy thing, but because of this, it caused a lot of follow-up trouble, which really made people feel very irritable.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I want to be calm, no casualties is a great thing, as for other small troubles, Du Zining calmed his emotions in his heart, and then said: "Our main task now is to collect more materials while the difficulty of collecting materials is not too great." Since the end times, the state has stopped production, and it is not yet known when it will be able to resume production. If you don't collect more now, you will definitely have to suffer in the future. So this is a top priority, and as for the rest that can be solved by other means, let it go for now. Oh, by the way, we didn't even collect the crystal nuclei of the zombies we killed when we went out yesterday, so we still have to collect some more. As long as we have materials and strength, none of us are afraid! ”
The last bold words greatly boosted the morale of the team, and both the speaker and the listener had a heroic feeling that as long as I worked hard, the world was under my feet.
"So what kind of mission are we going to take on tomorrow?" Yao Dandan asked.
"It's better to take on the task of collecting food, it's just that this kind of task, if the danger is small, you have to cooperate with the base, but there are also advantages to cooperating with the base, we don't even have to rent a car, just wait for the base to be assigned. It's just that the reward is a little less, but it's better to be safe, anyway, our other daily necessities have been collected enough for our own use, and we don't need to collect them anymore. And Shin Shin doesn't have much space, when the time comes, sneak behind the base to sneak some up, even if Shin Shin's space is full, it is estimated that it will not necessarily be better than discovering, and we will remember to cover her more when the time comes. ”
In fact, after Du Zining calmed down, she also knew that her eagerness to collect the quilt yesterday should have aroused the suspicion of Yao Dandan and the three of them, so of course she wanted to dispel the suspicions of the three of them. And as she said, food is all that matters now. Before, Du Zining wanted to establish her own power, so she was very impatient, but when she calmed down, she knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, and once she had manpower, these problems would still be easy to solve. After all, some belongings have to be earned by their own hard work, and some can indeed be snatched.
Therefore, Du Zining's IQ and EQ, who had figured it out, immediately returned to its peak, and she was no longer in a hurry to advance, but was thinking about how to wrap the three people she had now around her more tightly. Wang Xinxin and the three of them have no ambition, reliable character and strength, and everyone has suffered together, not to mention that Wang Xinxin had a good relationship with him before the end of the world, is there anyone more suitable to be his right-hand man than the three of them? If people like this are not good at themselves, then there is no need to think about doing anything big.
"That means that tomorrow we are going to do the task of collecting food in cooperation with the base?" Wang Xinxin confirmed again.
Wang Xinxin has never been very reluctant to cooperate with the base to do tasks, although doing tasks with the base can collect supplies with low risk. But Wang Xinxin is not Du Zining, she has never thought about doing anything big, and the materials she has are enough for her own use, so this point does not attract her at all. And if you cooperate with the base, there is basically no freedom, everything has to listen to the base, and there are some dangerous tasks, the base will not hesitate to send a mercenary team to do it, in short, the goal of the base to do the task is to spend the least cost to obtain the maximum benefit, and the mercenary team that can only listen to the command can naturally only act as cannon fodder when needed. So in this way, the mission to cooperate with the base is not so safe.
And how did the reputation of working with the base to do mission safety come about? This is because the base counts the casualty ratio after each mission. The mission of cooperation with the base is relatively less dangerous, and the base is equipped with guns, body armor, etc., which the survivors may have, and the personnel base for such a mission is originally very large. And they publish the casualty ratio, and they don't count how many soldiers died and how many survivors died. So in this way, no one knows about the mercenary squad, even though most of the dead are survivors.
After all, no one will preach this kind of thing, and it's not that they don't want to stay in the base, and the base's control of rumors after the end of the world is even more simple and crude. All those who create and spread rumors that are not conducive to the rule of the base will be driven out of the base and will not be allowed to enter for life, and this kind of thing will be recorded in the identity information of the survivors, and the identity information of the survivors of each base can be shared on the local area network. And for the survivors who were kicked out of the base for this reason, the other bases were also unwilling to accept it. Therefore, the survivors who are driven out of the base are often miserable, and can only go to the kind of small civilian bases that cannot share the local area network, which is not only dangerous, but also unable to resist the tide of corpses, and even encounters even more unfair treatment.
Because of the severity of the consequences, base survivors usually do not spread rumors that are unfavorable to the base. And of course, the matter of the mercenary squad being cannon fodder at the base is usually unknown to people who have not experienced it. In fact, there are actually very few mercenary squads that have experienced being used as cannon fodder by the base, after all, the tasks that the base generally does by themselves are very dangerous, unless they are to transport arms. Therefore, the mercenary team that plans to cooperate with the base still prays that they don't encounter any too dangerous missions.
However, about these contents, Wang Xinxin will definitely not tell Du Zining and them, on the one hand, because she doesn't know how to explain it, on the one hand, she believes that she can always be killed under the aura of the heroine, and on the other hand, the reason is that she has a jade bracelet space, which is the last way to retreat, in short, it should not be a problem to save her life.
