"Hah, thank you so much—"

"Yes, if you are willing to join the Cheng consortium, I am too late to be happy." Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile.

To be honest, Qi Lin saved him, it was really a simple effort, after all, other people's subordinates helped him attract so much firepower, and Qi Lin also picked up a lot of mutant serums along the way - if he could still watch Cheng Yanqiu die and not save him, then Qi Lin himself felt that it was too much to say.

However, if it was a L.A. man who was saved, he wouldn't mind kicking him into the abyssal rift again.

"Hmm...... I'll think about it......" Qi Lin said politely.

Qi Lin refused Thunder's invitation before, and this Cheng Yanqiu Qi Lin naturally would not agree - joining the consortium, no matter how high the position is, it is still someone else's subordinate, and his development will definitely be controlled by others.

Just like the elite team members brought by Cheng Yanqiu, if you want to say whether Cheng Yanqiu is good to them or not, it will definitely not be bad, but in the end, it was not all for him, they were all torn alive by those mutated creatures on the other side.

Besides, with the 404 base behind, as long as Qi Lin is given time, it is by no means a verbal statement that he wants to become a big force in the wasteland, as long as the operation of the base can be restored, no one can stop the mass-produced robot army and power armor.

"Although tonight is very embarrassing, but at least the purpose of the training has been achieved, and a lot of potential newcomers have been discovered - let's go, before those guys have time to resurrect, I will invite you to have a drink."

Although his subordinates were all wiped out, Cheng Yanqiu's mood was not very bad, and he smiled and sent an invitation to Qi Lin.

"Drinking? Okay. "Qi Lin didn't refuse, otherwise it would be too much to give face to this noble young master.

The two entered Thunder City side by side, and to Qi Lin's surprise, Cheng Yanqiu did not choose any high-end restaurants or restaurants, but took Qi Lin into a tavern on the corner of the street that was crowded with mercenaries and hunter players.

"Uh...... This young master of the Cheng family seems to be quite approachable......" Qi Lin thought to himself. Cheng Yanqiu's move made his image in Qi Lin's heart change a lot.

"The tomato broth and pancakes at this tavern taste good, and although the wine is brewed in-house, it has a different flavor than the drinks of the old days." Cheng Yanqiu introduced to Qi Lin.

It seems that this guy still comes to this place a lot.

The two found a place by the window and sat down, Qi Lin ordered one according to the food introduced by Cheng Yanqiu, and soon, the hot pancakes were served, and it didn't take long for the tomato broth to be served in a flat-bottomed round dish made of aluminum flakes.

There is no place where tomatoes are grown in Thunder City, and the tomatoes in the broth are only a small piece, and it can be seen from the crumpled skin that this is the stock in the jar of the old era, which has been stored for at least three years, but the amount of beef in the soup is quite large - this is in the scarce Thunder City, this shop can still take out so much meat, no wonder the business is so booming.

Taking a sip of broth, Qi Lin tore off a piece of the pancake, put it in his mouth and chewed it, he was already hungry all the way.

It's just that Cheng Yanqiu, who was sitting opposite him, didn't rush to eat, but looked at Qi Lin with a smile and asked, "Anyway, in this situation, everyone in Thunder City can't wait to leave, why do you want to find a way to pass through such a dangerous blank area and return to this 'cage'?" ”

Qi Lin swallowed the pancake, took another sip of broth, and asked, "Then why do you want to break through with the head iron, people with a discerning eye know that you are sending your head away." ”

"Haha, brother said it was funny, I said it all, it's just training, anyway, the serum and resource points, our program consortium has. What about you? And what is the reason why you have to come in? ”

Qi Lin looked at the simple food and simple tableware in front of him, and then looked at Cheng Yanqiu, who was full of the words "rich and rich", no matter how he looked at it, he felt a little out of tune.

"Me? Looking for excitement, I heard that there are a lot of weird here, come to level up. Qi Lin said casually.

Qi Lin couldn't tell him that he had come here to find Thunder to borrow troops to attack the Steel City...... However, if this Cheng consortium also intervenes in it, maybe it will be able to play a role in counterbalancing with Thunder at that time?

Qi Lin thought about it, and finally felt that it was still two to say whether Thunder would be interested in Steel City or not.

Halfway through the food, two glasses of wine were finally delivered - according to Cheng Yanqiu, the most attractive thing about this tavern was the sparkling wine brewed by the shopkeeper himself, and this glass of liquid alone was about two or three hundred milliliters in value, which was already worth more than tomato broth and the big pancake.

Many people in this tavern came to admire the name of this wine, and the player who opened this tavern also earned a large amount of resource points by virtue of this craft.

Alcohol, which has always been one of the most important consumables in the wasteland, has been on the line of life and death for a long time, and the strong pressure of fighting various mutated creatures has forced many people to rely on the anesthesia of alcohol in order to allow themselves to survive a nightmare-free night.

In the sanctuary, whether drinking wine or pure alcohol, it was an expensive and rare substance, eating was a problem, and no one except the few cellars for the consumption of the wealthy were to take the grain and make wine.

Qi Lin looked at the amber clarified liquor in the cup, and then leaned over to the mouth of the cup and smelled it, the raw material of this soaking wine should be black malt, so it has this color close to dark brown.

There is also a strong smell of herbs in the wine, which is the difference between this special brew and ordinary rye wine, which is supposed to be brewed by soaking the rhizomes of some kind of plant in it.

Taking a slight sip, the liquor with a hint of bitterness slid into Qi Lin's throat, the taste was a bit like the mellow and rich rye whisky of the old days, but after the bitterness and spiciness, the aftertaste that slowly came up was extremely sweet.

"It's a good thing!" Qi Lin's eyes lit up, and he took another big sip.

The owner of this tavern can be regarded as a talent who can make such a delicious sake from the few resources in the wasteland, and can simulate the taste of aged whiskey with the fermentation time of ordinary beer.

Seeing Qi Lin's appearance, Cheng Yanqiu also smiled: "I'll just say it, this is a rare thing that makes people feel happy in this last day - Thunder City is short of food, but there has never been a shortage of brewing raw materials in this tavern, just because there are too many 'fans' of this brewing wine." ”
