The mining town is somewhat like an anarchist society.

Cao Chongzhi is a mine boss on the surface, but he is actually an out-and-out grain dealer.

In their mining town, metal ore is hard currency and belongs to the category of currency, but in fact, the most valuable thing is grain, otherwise grain would not be used as a city gate tax.

When all the grain was concentrated in his hands, he set an exchange rate, and people naturally had to exchange ore or finished metal products for food, which prompted everyone to produce a steady stream of ore to meet the needs of life.

Each person has a limited amount of ore per day, and they can't get much food, so these people are trapped in the mining town, toiling every day to feed themselves.

In order to reap the value of their surplus labor, he introduced government brothels and casinos, and the surplus grain went around and back into his hands.

Before the famine, the grain store was like Cao Chongzhi's central bank, producing a steady stream of food, and the mining town maintained a balance between consumption and output through fixed purchases.

When the grain supply in the grain store stopped supplying, Cao Chongzhi's "bank" could not make ends meet, so he had to suspend the exchange.

At that time, it happened that there was a rumor of a sacred tree in the grain store, and a group of young and strong laborers went to defect.

Cao Chongzhi inspected the warehouse overnight and made a humane decision, from now on, he will not buy ore for grain, but will instead distribute guaranteed grain.

Although there is only one meal a day, try not to starve to death to death.

This stabilized people's hearts and deceived the residents into staying, and after three days, some people just regretted that they wanted to leave, and they were so hungry that they couldn't pull their legs.

With his careful calculation, it will be no problem to survive until next summer, and when everything recovers, and the bark of wild plants and fruit trees can make everyone make do with their lives, they will get through it.

The food brought by the Flying Locust Army can completely make up for the lack of rations in the town, but it will shake Cao Chongzhi's foundation, which he does not want to see, so he agreed with the "Second Master" that the rations of the Flying Locust Army will also be centrally managed and supplied until the grain store restores the food supply.

The "second master" agreed to the other party's request, largely because of Nantes.

Communication between Nantes and the Locust Army has been interrupted for a week, and the only thing the "Governor" can confirm is that Nantes is still alive on Easter Island and has not been captured.

No news is the best news.

As a well-known villain, if Nantes exposes his identity and is caught, he will definitely parade the streets to criticize, and then come to the whole network to watch, if it comes to that point, these people are far away in the northern hemisphere, and there is no chance to carry out rescue.

He has been agitating Lao Ma all this time, sending him to sneak back to the living island with a hundred scouts under his command.

As for the old horse, only the "second master" is the head of the horse.

This woman whenever Nantes does not

When he was there, he became extremely strong, and he was the second leader of the Locust Army.

The "manager" has always been very difficult with her, so his suggestions are often habitually rejected.

As an important family member of the former Ji clan, the "second master" knows much more inside stories than others, and he looks at problems from a higher height than others.

According to her judgment, even if Nantes is caught, there is a high probability that she will not be executed, and the Ji clan just hopes to indirectly coerce Nantes by controlling Nantes and doing something that is in their interests.

In this world, everything is profit.

As the old saying goes, "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ”

Between countries, between the Ji family and the Xia family, it is about national interests;

Between families and between people, it is personal interests that are contested.

Nantes has not yet recognized his own value, and he is becoming the link between the Ji and Xia families, and the central figure in the smooth transaction between the two parties.

The bystander is clear, the "second master" is bound by the family contract, he can't reveal such a secret, and he can't be too arbitrary, so he can only use intelligence to fool everyone.

Although Liu Lang's concubine spit on Nantes in every way, his little white face is still a little worried, and he can still pass on some news from time to time.

Take, for example, the military coup d'état by Miller.

When she learned that old Winston had been beheaded and his head hung on the parliament building, and that Miller had clung to his head and wept bitterly and vowed to kill the top brass of the coalition government, she saw through the sinister young man's plan at a glance.

Easter Island is in chaos, it is good news for Nantes, the more chaos the safer, Miller's primary goal is to eliminate the government army, and the locust army should take the opportunity to do something to gain from it.

The daily propaganda of the Flying Locust Army must be followed, and they are now going to play the bitter card to keep the Flying Locust Army fighting against and annihilating mutants in an extremely difficult state.

This creates a huge contrast, whether it is the government army or the rebel army, they all say that they are resisting the mutants, but they are in the civil war, and the locust army that they smear has been fighting on the front line, and the people will naturally judge.

In this sense, the more exciting the battles fought by the Flying Locust Army, the safer Nantes became.

After her inference, the commanders at all levels of the Flying Locust Army gradually unified their thinking and understanding, and even Chu Zhongtian, the "general manager" who had a lot of fun, had to admire the thoughtfulness of the "second master".

They had a meeting with Cao Chongzhi, and when the Flying Locust Army went out on the expedition, they could not bring their families, and all the old and young women and children stayed in the mining town, and along with the family resources of the arsenal, they were also entrusted here, and during the period of living here, the armed forces of the town could not interfere with the freedom of movement of these people.

Cao Chongzhi has so many people and equipment, it's too late to be happy, now

He promised: "We will provide the most comfortable living conditions." ”

He doesn't have any big ambitions, he just wants to live to the point where he swallows his breath naturally, and not to be like a horse struggling, watching the age when he is about to kick his legs and close his eyes, and he will be tortured by mutants.

The people who live here are influenced by him, and they also like to soak in the business district and live a bright life.

In the northeast of the last days, each has its own way of living, and if it is said to be comfortable and luxurious, it is really the first mining town. When even Xiao Yang came here, he couldn't help but have a beautiful night party, leaving an indelible memory for Nantes next door.

The "second master" looked at Cao Chongzhi's squinting expression, glad that he was still wearing the transformed second-generation mecha, and did not show his angry figure, so he snorted coldly and left.

The craziest thing the Flying Locust Army did in this winter was to break into Dashun City, which was occupied by mutants, several times with a military force of only 600 people.

I don't know how many mutants they killed, anyway, the speed at which many soldiers accumulate military merit is incredibly fast, killing 2,000 mutants to get to B+, and killing 4,000 to upgrade to A-level.

Now there is one person who has reached the A-level level, and that person is not Li Meng's artillery company, but a short man in Shanman's demolition company. There are also dozens of people who have reached the B+ level and are advancing towards the A-level. On the contrary, the commanders of these various companies, because they could not always be on the front line, the speed of accumulation of military merits was much slower.

Unlike Nantes, who were tied up in the Dreadnought Regiment before, among the pest members such as Lao Ma and "Second Master", they always believed that talent was the foundation, and everything else was something outside the body.

In order to preserve their strength as much as possible and reduce casualties, they will not hesitate to tear down entire buildings and blow them up.

The demolition team led by the "Mandrill" is like a fish in water here, whether it is a blast or a fire, these people are of a professional level.

Of course, their destruction of Dashun City is also obvious to all, and many buildings have been razed to the ground.

They cut Dashun City into blocks, demarcated a few valuable buildings in each area that needed to be preserved, and all the others were torn down or blown up.

Their goal is to never leave too many places for mutants to hide in the future, even if they are forced to evacuate in the future, so that they can be harvested next time.

It's a city that can accommodate 5 million people, and even if only a fifth of the buildings remain, there are still 1 million people left to stay. All they have to do is clean the city and wait for humanity to return to their homes.

Such videos have been made one after another, and when the local army was fighting with each other, many people on Easter Island were moved, and a large number of people who ate melons turned black to powder and became volunteer propagandists of the Flying Locust Army.

It's just that the Flying Locust Army is now deep behind enemy lines, and although everyone yearns for it, they can't make it.

Nantes, on the other hand, is busy helping them return to the northern hemisphere.
