Chapter 37: Forming a Caravan

The first wave of caravans in the wasteland settlement had finally returned after a week of absence.

This news was very sensational, and all the people who knew the news flocked to Ximen, compared to the arrival of the assault team, there were many more onlookers this time. The entire passage was filled with all sorts of people with different minds. The Authority didn't stop it this time, and the news came from the farthest afield, probably to stimulate the nerves that had already tensed in the settlement.

The Grand Canyon settlement is only more than 300 kilometers away from the wasteland settlement, and if you have a car, it should only take three or four hours to get there. However, there was no news for several days, which brought a hint of gloom to the second wave of fanatics who were preparing for it, and the atmosphere in the whole settlement became extremely oppressive. Even the caravan organized by the Authority gradually slowed down, and the mercenary union outside the refugee camp completely stopped working.

No one knows whether the first wave of people passed through the sea of feared zombies and whether they successfully reached the Grand Canyon settlement. Many people who have seen the huge number of zombies between the two places have already desperately guessed that the first wave of tens of thousands of people has been wiped out in the hands of zombies.

When countless people sentenced the first wave of people to death, the vanguard of the first wave of caravans returned to the settlement. Zhou Yuanqiang stood on the side of the road, looking at the dozens of cars of various types that arrived first, covered with yellow mud and dust, and the trucks in the convoy were full of grain and several fine wines brewed in the Grand Canyon settlement. For the Grand Canyon settlement, which is far away from the cities and towns, there is a lot of goods lacking, except for food and wine, I am afraid that there is nothing for the merchants of the wasteland settlement to bring back.

It seems that stimulated by the windfall profits of the Raider team, everyone has decided that wine is precious in the wasteland settlement, and they all want to replicate the success of the Raider team and make a lot of money on it. There were many people with this idea, so for the next day, the caravans that came back one after another, they almost all brought food and wine.

The fanatical people, after seeing this scene, did not think much about it at all, and only the next day, the first caravan of nearly 1,000 people organized in the refugee camp set out on the journey to the settlement of the Grand Canyon with all kinds of goods they had accumulated, half by car, half on foot. They also kicked off the second wave of frenzy.

The refugee camp has only moved, and the powerful team in the central town can't sit still. Even the mud feet have acted, and if they don't act, I'm afraid that they may not even be able to drink the soup at that time, and if these guys succeed and ride on their heads, it will be called wronged. There was nothing to hesitate about, one team after another, just a report from the Authority, it was like a mass of loose sand rushing towards the Grand Canyon settlement.

The entire settlement, because of the second wave of caravans, went crazy again.

Yes, wine is valuable, but it was only at the beginning, the raider team's scraping made the wasteland settlement in a quasi-saturated state, and this time it brought back a larger amount of alcohol than the raider team, so that the demand for wine in the settlement was suddenly saturated. Naturally, the price did not make a huge profit as people imagined, but one price a day, and even fell to only one-fifth of the original.

Compared to alcohol, the price of food is much more stable, after all, everyone can not drink alcohol, but he definitely needs to eat.

The price of goods fell rapidly, and the people who were still in a frenzy immediately lowered the temperature, and suddenly, people were surprised to find that the things in the Grand Canyon did not make people rich overnight as they imagined, and maybe they would make people lose their money.

What really shattered people's dreams of the Grand Canyon was the brutal casualty probability. According to statistics, the number of people who went to the Grand Canyon settlement to dig gold reached more than 10,000, but the number of people who actually returned to the wasteland settlement was less than 3,000. Of course, some stayed in the Grand Canyon settlement, but many more died in the passage. The huge number of zombies left some weak teams and people on foot forever.

More than half of the mortality rate has suddenly lowered people's enthusiasm for the Grand Canyon to the freezing point, and many people have already begun to worry about the second wave of people, among these thousands of people, how many of them will be able to live and return to the wasteland settlement safely? Even if they come back, I am afraid that the saturated market will allow them to lose even their capital, because the salaries of the mercenaries still need to be paid by them.

In this case, knowing that there will be no return, who else will be obsessed with the ethereal Grand Canyon settlement?

Of course, there will be exceptions to everything, such as Zhou Yuanqiang, who was sitting in front of the tent in the camp at this time, and the high temperature of the scorching sun, even if he stayed for more than half a month, he still couldn't adapt. In front of them, there were Xu Yuhai and Xu Dali, the nine of them, Chen Wenbo, a powerless literati, who were naturally driven into the tent by Zhou Yuanqiang, and continued the work they had not completed. It was not only them who were present, Qiu Guorui's group was also invited by Zhou Yuanqiang.

Since the first cooperation, Zhou Yuanqiang has always taken the opportunity to contact Qiu Guorui and them, and from time to time he will bring some scarce things over, which makes Qiu Guorui have a good impression of Zhou Yuanqiang. The current national quintessence team, after losing a heavy machine gun, has suffered a big loss in strength, although the regulations are assigned to the mercenaries for this unexpected loss, but Zhou Yuanqiang still took the responsibility, patted his chest and promised that it would be better.

Of course, Qiu Guorui and the others naturally took this as a comfort, but their good impression of Zhou Yuanqiang still rose in a straight line.

"Old ...... Boss, are you really sure you're going to form a caravan and head to the Grand Canyon settlement? Xu Yuhai, who has always been calm, can't stay calm at this time, because what Zhou Yuanqiang just announced was to form a caravan to go to the Grand Canyon settlement and join the wave of gold.

It's no wonder that Xu Yuhai loses his cool, ordinary people don't understand, but Xu Yuhai still knows a lot of inside stories through some channels, such as the road conditions along the way, which are almost completely destroyed, which is also the reason why the first wave of caravans went back and forth for a week. The road conditions are bad enough, but the number of zombies between the two places is still very large, and from time to time there will be some high-level zombies and special infected people. With their appearance, teams disappear into the passage and become a symbol of death.

Not to mention the high danger, the dream of digging gold in the Grand Canyon settlement has been shattered, even if you can get lucky enough to reach the Grand Canyon settlement safely and return to the wasteland settlement smoothly, but cheap goods are not enough to earn back the capital, and it is already a foreseeable thing.

Xu Yuhai and the others have tasted this kind of rich life for the first time in five years, so they are naturally very resolute against Zhou Yuanqiang's decision.

Compared with Xu Yuhai's strong rebound, Qiu Guorui and the five of them were expressionless, and they didn't seem to have anything to do with them. They are already old soldiers, they have long learned how to deal with things, and they have learned a lot of things that Xu Yuhai has no way to learn.

Looking at Xu Yuhai's faces that they didn't know whether it was childish or mature, Zhou Yuanqiang suddenly smiled and said, "Your reasons are very good, you all want to live a peaceful life without worrying about food and clothing, but have you thought about it?" Who gave you all this? Zhou Yuanqiang's tone suddenly asked sternly, stood up suddenly, and sneered: "I gave it to you, but who will give me my food?" Is it heaven? Or are you guys? ”

As soon as Zhou Yuanqiang's words came out, it was only after a while that Xu Yuhai and the others remembered that Zhou Yuanqiang, who seemed to be kind in front of them, but their boss was also their collar parents, what he decided, why did he point fingers? What's more, Zhou Yuanqiang is right, is the boss's food falling from the sky? If they really did what they thought, everyone would have starved to death. If you don't work hard, how can you earn food to survive?

What's more, why does the boss support his own people for nothing? Is there so much food that there is a shortage?

"Boss, right...... I'm sorry......" Xu Yuhai, who clearly understood his identity, broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Zhou Yuanqiang in horror.

Zhou Yuanqiang just nodded slightly, and said, "I just need you to know that what the boss decides, your choice is only obedience." Why should I waste food on a disobedient man? In the same way, I want you to know that survival depends on your own struggle, and that those who want to take your place will always exist in this settlement. ”

This beating still worked, at least Zhou Yuanqiang saw awe in their eyes.
