A steel camp.

This is a survivor camp established with the survivors in the original Ma'an iron ore mine area as the main body. Because there were many miners who had originally gone to the mines, they were bold, physically strong, and organized, and they listened to the survival guide promoted by the state when the end of the world came, but the camp of thousands of people finally survived nearly 200 professionals.

This ratio is really amazing.

But even so, they have not had a good time for more than a year.

Plague of Flames, Tide of Beasts...... Coupled with the attack of the demonic beasts that went out to hunt and collect supplies, there were only more than 100 survivors left from the original 200 survivors.

Even more worrying is the hostile relationship between the Iron Camp and a professional force in Saddleback City.

The force called the Rock Guild has three or four hundred professionals, and its strength is much stronger than them, and it occupies the city. Because they wanted to take them in, the two sides clashed for a while, and two people died.

Subsequently, the other party blocked the resources in the city and refused to leak any food.

This is the lifeblood of the steel camp.

In their camp, there is no other way to get food within a radius of dozens of miles. If you run too far, the danger factor will increase dramatically, not to mention that even foreign forces may not be willing to sell large quantities of grain easily.

After all, it is now the second year of the last days, and the importance of food is becoming more and more prominent, and it is no longer as easy to scavenge as it was when the end of the world came.

As the leader of the camp, Cheng Gang is also quite stressed about this.

Aside from being obediently compromised and co-opted, the only way he could think of was to send a small number of members to sneak into Saddle City to find the remaining food in the corners. On the other hand, try to hunt some less powerful magical beasts and use beast meat as a supplement.

But either of these two approaches is risky.

Needless to say, hunting demonic beasts, it is not surprising that if you encounter a powerful elite monster that comes out and wanders, there will be casualties. As for the first method, although Saddle City is quite large, no one dares to guarantee that they will not run into the other party's people. If you really want to talk about it, the risk may be a little bigger than the former.

The truckload of grain and expired instant noodles that I got from sneaking into Ma'an City last time had been eaten up the day before yesterday.

Cheng Gang also had no choice, so he organized a grain stealing team again today.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and the people who went out to search for food in Ma'an City had not yet returned, Cheng Gang couldn't help but take a few people and look at it from the top of the steel camp.

Just then, a car drove up.

In the dim evening, the light of the headlights of the car is still very conspicuous, which makes Cheng Gang look forward to it.

But as the distance approached, he soon realized that it didn't seem to be the person he had sent out that was approaching.

It's weird.

Compared to Ma'an City, the steel camp built near the Ma'an Mine is relatively remote. In addition, it was almost night, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to come.

For a moment, Cheng Gang had a bad premonition in his heart. For example, the person sent by his own family was discovered and taken down by the other party, and now he is sending someone to blackmail himself.

"Go and inform Lao Liu, come with more people! Torches lit too! ”

He instructed one of the people beside him, and he secretly tightened the weapon in his hand and prepared with both hands.

Soon, a row of monster grease-soaked torches near the main entrance of the camp was lit, and the bright flames dispelled the darkness a little, and also illuminated the off-road vehicles driving up the mountain along the somewhat dilapidated asphalt road.

As the car stalled, three people got out of it.

One of them, a slightly chubby man in leather armor, followed behind him and appeared to be an archer. Since he didn't see the weapon, it was not ruled out that the other party was a thief.

The profession of another man and a woman is obvious, warriors and priests!

These three people looked very strange, and Cheng Gang compared them with the members of the Rock Guild in his memory, and found that none of them knew each other. Moreover, they looked at the steel camp and looked at them with a new curiosity.

Seem...... It's really a group of passing outsiders!

This judgment made Cheng Gang relax a little, but he still didn't dare to be too careless. Standing on the top of the five-meter-high camp, he said loudly: "This is a steel camp, outsiders are not welcome, and no supply services are provided. You three, get out as soon as possible. ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a messy sound of footsteps from behind the camp.

One after another, more than a dozen professionals rushed over, showing their weapons and looking vigilant.

Seeing the other bronze steps in the camp coming, Cheng Gang was relieved. Although the equipment of the three people in front of them looked very luxurious and the momentum was extraordinary, there were only three people after all.

With enough confidence, he simply repeated his previous shouting.

"It's a bit xenophobic......"

Fang Jin glanced up at the man who was full of energy, but he didn't give up easily.

He has experienced this kind of thing in his previous life. Generally speaking, there are only a few reasons why a professional force does not welcome outsiders: there are many outsiders and they are afraid of risks; Relations between one's side and other forces are tense, and there may be conflicts at any time; Finally, there is a lack of resources and no time to take care of others.

There are only three people on my side, and there are more than a dozen people in the camp at once, which is obviously not the first reason.

He thought for a moment and said, "Don't be nervous, we are professionals from the west of Anhui Province." Passing by here, I want to rest for a day or two, and there is no other meaning. If you wish, we can pay a batch of food or low-level equipment as compensation. ”

This is a tried and tested method in the last days.

Unless you really have to do it, as long as you are willing to use these two ways to open the way, you can basically move the other party.

As for the low-level equipment, they were lucky on the way here, and when they killed the monster that hit the off-road vehicle, they happened to burst out with a first-order elite blue suit. Just staying for a night or two is a luxury enough for the price.

The man in front of him was obviously moved.

Hearing that food could be given, Cheng Gang's eyes lit up violently, and he said tentatively: "Half a month's ration per person, let you come in for the night!" I can tell you, there are a lot of demonic beasts around this saddle mining area, often level seventeen or eighteen, and there are many elite monsters, which are very dangerous at night. If the three of you miss our camp, you'll have to sleep outside, and the danger is no joke. ”

"Half a month's grain ......" Fang Jin rolled his eyes.

The asking price of half a month's ration is estimated to be a lot in this guy's opinion, but unfortunately he still sold his underwear all at once. As for the deliberately exaggerated intimidation, Fang Jin sneered at it.

However, although I don't mind this material, the price still has to be talked about a little, and the province is regarded as a big wrong.

"According to two catties of grain per person per day, we will give you a total of ten days of rations, which is 60 catties! If you succeed, forget it! ”

Fang Jin made a posture of pulling his legs and flashing people, and then saw that the other party was busy and nodded in agreement, for fear that Fang Jin would let them slip away a second late.

60 catties of grain, not much, but mosquito legs are also meat.

Not bad for the survivors in the steel camp.

What's more, in addition to overnight rest, the camp also offers other services. These three outsiders have an extraordinary bearing, and at first glance, they are not easy to mess with and are not bad at the master of resources. If you take care of it, you may be able to make a lot of money!

Ordered his subordinates to open the gate of the village, and Cheng Gang on the camp couldn't help but think about it.
