Near the site he chose to pioneer, a small-scale spar vein had been discovered, but because of the distance from Dragon City, the tentacles of the super enterprise did not reach here for the time being, giving unlicensed pioneers an opportunity.

I thought it was a lucrative deal.

Who knows, when Ning Lang and a group of brothers finally took root in the wilderness and built a stronghold with a complete defense system and fierce firepower, the prospecting team of a large company came here again to conduct detailed exploration of the spar veins.

As a result, this area is a "pseudo-vein", only close to the surface, contains a few thin layers of ore skin, exposed by weathering, as if the reserves are amazing.

In fact, if you dig a little down, you can find that, in addition to rocks, it is a miscellaneous ore with very low content and poor quality, and it has no development value at all.

Large companies are not interested in this land, and Ning Lang's stronghold has become a very embarrassing existence.

In the wilderness, the cost of eating and drinking Lazar every day is ten times that of Dragon City.

Not to mention the automated defense system, defending against monsters, which consumes a lot of psionic energy and ammo.

Originally, Ning Lang wanted to grit his teeth and persevere, and he spent his blood to transform the surrounding poor mountains and rivers into fertile farmland, and take root in the local area by planting spiritual plants.

Unexpectedly, after a few months of hard work, an insect plague gnawed away all the spiritual plants, and even several pioneers were engulfed by the insect swarm, gnawing only a pair of bones.

Ning Lang couldn't support it anymore, so he could only abandon his stronghold and flee back to Dragon City.

Unexpectedly, on the way to retreat, he was attacked by monsters again.

These monsters follow them all the way, waiting in the dead of night for humans to slack their vigilance before launching a surprise attack.

Caught off guard, the pioneers suffered heavy losses, and they could only give up most of the expensive construction machinery and barely fight their way out.

By the time the scarred pioneers fled back to Dragon City, less than one-fifth of the people were still alive when they left the city with their heads held high to "start a business".

Although Ning Lang was lucky not to die, he fell into a desperate situation that was more terrible than death.

He was one of the organizers of this pioneer team, and the start-up capital invested and the construction machinery purchased on credit were worth astronomical sums.

A small half of this money is his savings, and most of it is borrowed by him.

If you leave the city without the approval of the relevant authorities, it is impossible to get a bereavement benefit from the authorities and a settlement from the insurance company.

Many of the pioneers who died in battle were brothers who played from childhood to adulthood, so who else could they find besides him to be responsible?

For a while, Ning Lang changed from a "brother wolf" with infinite scenery to an existence where mice crossed the street and everyone shouted and beat him.

He didn't dare to stay at home, and he didn't know where to hide with the surviving pioneers.

Meng Chao nodded.

He had a general idea of how the Unlicensed Pioneer Team operated.

Since the vigorous expansion of Longcheng and the "regular army" and "guerrillas" attacking from all sides, many capitals that have nowhere to go are willing to invest a lot of venture capital in the "guerrillas".

Specifically, unemployed young people like "Ning Lang" or "Rooster Crown", who are ambitious, fearless of death, and have a certain combat effectiveness, want to go to the wilderness to fight.

But they didn't have the start-up capital to build teams, procure weapons and ammunition, build strongholds and transform the environment, including training pioneers in wilderness survival.

It doesn't matter, as long as you are bold enough and your fists are hard enough, and all parties are willing to invest, from manpower to weapons to the knowledge, technology and equipment needed to build a base, all of them will be unified and serviced.

If you are willing to let this capital into the shares, even if the stronghold is destroyed by monsters, the pioneers will not have to bear too much responsibility.

Of course, if the stronghold is acquired by a large company or a relevant department, the capital will take the lion's share of the profits.

What Ning Lang chose is probably another model, refusing capital to buy shares, just pure loans and credit purchases.

In this way, as long as you gain a foothold in the wilderness, all the benefits will be your own.

But once the whole army is wiped out, it means that there will be no return.

You must know that going out of the city to pioneer without permission is always a gray industry.

Although as far as the survival committee is concerned, as long as it can solve the problem of unemployment among the young population and increase the actual employment rate of Dragon City, it is willing to turn a blind eye.

But those who are willing to provide financial and resource support to the undocumented pioneer team will not be good men and women after all.

Their money is not so easy to take.

Could it be that Ning Lang was in a hurry to pay off the arrears, so he got a batch of "Divine Transformation Capsules" out of nowhere and resold them to the pioneer team of the cockscomb head to make a profit?

"Those guys just now are your brother's creditors?"

Meng Chao asked, "Do you know where they come from?" ”

Ning Xing bit his lip, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, my brother seems to have borrowed money from more than one place, and there have been several groups of debt collectors recently. ”

"It didn't hurt you, did it?"

"No, after all, there are many people here, and they don't dare to mess around, at most...... That's it. ”

Ning Xing's eyes were red, his chest was puffed up, he pretended to be mature and calm, and said, "Brother Chao, don't worry, I'm fine, these guys today are not terrible, the group of people who came from Chaocheng a few days ago are really vicious, but I'm not afraid of them - this is a temporary settlement, not Chaocheng!" ”

"Nest City?"

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.

Nest City, from the zombie-infested bloody age all the way to today's super slums, a place of filth and dirt, a paradise for criminals, a nest for the lost, an incubator for countless gray and even black industries, a cancer parasitic in the body of Dragon City that must be cut off.

By the way, among the memory fragments of Meng Chao's previous life, the largest of the three nest cities in Dragon City, the "Golden Tooth Nest City", had a huge fire in the middle and late stages of the Monster War.

The fire burned and killed more than 100,000 innocent citizens living in Chaocheng.

It has also caused countless people in Chaocheng who rely on the gray industry to barely make a living, and have lost their only source of livelihood.

It also unleashed countless criminals and lost people who were lurking in the depths of the nest city.

As a result, the social order in Dragon City deteriorated dramatically overnight, and the vicious crime rate increased dozens of times, almost returning to the chaotic era of lawlessness before the establishment of the Survival Committee.

The chaos of social order has seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of Dragon City, giving the monsters all kinds of opportunities to take advantage of, so that the monsters launched the largest wave of counterattacks in the later stage of the war, although they failed to completely turn the tide of the war, but they also caused heavy casualties to human beings and greatly damaged their vitality.

"How did the fire in the Golden Tooth Nest City in the previous life burn?"

Meng Chao put this question in his heart for the time being, and said: "Ning Xing, I am willing to gamble and lose, and repay debts, this is a matter of course, and it is not a way for your brother to hide in Tibet like this."

"However, it is not a disaster for the family, no matter how much money he owes, it has nothing to do with you, and you should not be afraid all day long.

"In this way, if you can trust Brother Chao, tell me where your brother is now, and I will go to him to have a good chat and come up with a solution."

"Brother Chao, if you are willing to help my brother, it would be great."

Ning Xing became excited, and her eyes emitted a light of hope, but this light quickly dimmed, she shook her head, and was embarrassed, "But, I really don't know where my brother is hiding, these days, many creditors are looking for him, and he has been elusive." ”

Meng Chao thought for a while and said, "So, when was the last time you saw him?" ”

"Last week."

Ning Xing said, "I forgot if it was Thursday or Friday, anyway, he sneaked back in the middle of the night, and he didn't even wake up his mother, so he stuffed me with five hundred yuan, so that I must not be discovered by anyone, and I really can't take it out and use it again."

"By the way, he also said that he is sorry for his family, but as long as we persist a little longer, he will be able to pay off his debts, and he can also get a large sum of money, which is enough to make the family worry about food and clothing, so that his mother can live a comfortable life, and I also have enough cultivation resources to be admitted to a key high school."

Ning Xing is a sensible child, and these words have always been hidden in his heart, and no one has ever told him.

However, Meng Chao has carried out many public welfare activities in temporary settlements in the name of the Remnant Star Society and Chaoxing Resources, and he has been a teacher in the martial arts advanced training class for many days, and he is very serious about guiding his classmates.

Ning Xing sincerely thanked Meng Chao, and regarded him as an omnipotent big brother, with a faint expectation, he couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Get a lot of money......

Meng Chao's mind was spinning, and he quickly judged that the money Ning Lang said was not earned by reselling the Divine Transformation Capsule.

The reason is simple.

Ning Lang's "customer" is a person like Cockscomb, who doesn't have any money himself, and I'm afraid that he will have to wait for the success of the development before he can settle the payment to him.

Because he is a second-class dealer, even if he settles the payment, Ning Lang's income will not be much, and it is not enough to pay off the arrears, and let his family live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

Relying on the power increase brought by the Divine Transformation Capsule to go out of the city again to pioneer the wilderness?

It is also impossible, Ning Lang's credit history has rotten, and no one will lend him money again, or buy him on credit the weapons and equipment and construction machinery he needs to pioneer the land.

In addition, the benefits of pioneering are not clear, and even if a successful establishment of a base is actually acquired by a large company, it will take a year and a half to operate.

Meng Chao didn't think that Ning Lang was just comforting his sister.

learned about Ning Lang's character from Qin Hu and Ning Xing, he is not the kind of person who will coax his family.

So, what exactly is he going to do......

Meng Chao had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

He asked Ning Xing for the address of his partner who had a better time with Ning Lang, that is, the survivors who fled back to Dragon City together.

Several of the survivors are living in makeshift settlements.

Letting Ning Xing calm down, Meng Chao left and looked for the address of one of the survivors.

Before I could find the specific house number, I saw the fierce and vicious strong men who had just come to force the debt from a distance, hurriedly leaving the temporary settlement.
