Chapter 037: People are thin and have great skills
If you follow the concept of the world where Ding You lived before the end of the world, the earth is full of more than 70 billion people, and there is no need to worry about the lack of labor at all.
But in these last days, it's hard to say. Although Ding You didn't know how many humans were still alive on this ruined planet, looking at the current situation, the situation was not optimistic.
After all, food, food, lack of food is a fatal problem, and it is difficult to solve it in a short time. Just look at the low-status survivors in District 9 to know that the life of low-level humans is really similar to that of stray dogs before the end of the world.
These hot meals for dinner at the Deep Blue Star Base are exchanged for other parts of the planet, and it is estimated that even the remaining magnates may not be able to afford them. No, strictly speaking, they won't even have the opportunity to find it.
The issue of food supply, at least for now, will not pose a difficulty for the Deep Blue Star base. However, this is not absolute, Ding You once counted that according to the stock of rice and other foods in the supermarket, the food of several restaurants at the bottom of the supermarket space is also counted.
According to the supply of 800 grams of food per person per day in the post-apocalyptic base, the supermarket space can be reset 24 hours a day, which can also ensure that a total of 30,000 people will not go hungry every day, and there is still a slight surplus of food.
If it is to be increased later to reach the supply of 1 kilogram per person per day, then it will not be difficult to 25,000 people.
But are you only going to take care of more than 20,000 people? Ding You is not very reconciled, and he wants to be a tycoon in the last days, with 25,000 people, which is much less than the population of the ninth district.
If you want to save as many people as possible as a slave as much as possible, then there is no way to do it now. Starting from the current conditions, Ding You can only take advantage of the fact that the population that needs to be borne now is not much, and move as many materials as possible from the supermarket space and put them in the reserve center in the base for storage.
But this brings us to the old problem. That is, whether the safety of the base is guaranteed, and whether you can build the base as solid as gold. In the same way, this also requires manpower, especially the corresponding talent.
Talent, talent!
Now Ding You is a standard thirst for talent, perhaps saying that even if he is not talented, as long as he is not lacking arms and legs and has bad intentions, he is willing to take it into his pocket.
Human trafficker Shen Xinghuai, hurry up and call, send some people over, even if it costs 2 or even 3 times the crystal card, Ding You is willing.
It is said that although the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, Ding You's current situation is not as difficult as heavy snow, but he is still very nervous.
When Pan Wu came back to his senses, I don't know if he would mistakenly think that the supplies of the Deep Blue Star Transfer Station had been transferred in advance, and with so many armed forces in his hands, maybe he would really have the courage to find the current new base to rob the house.
I have to guard against it!
But what about manpower? Is it possible to rely on those intelligent protective machine guns and electromagnetic shielding covers at the gate?
Pan Wu didn't know the true details of Ding You, and similarly, Ding You didn't know him very well. Since he is a powerful person in the ninth district, he may have some other hole cards in his hand, so he has to deal with them carefully.
And now in the new base where he is, there is a big heart disease lurking underground not far away, and sooner or later it will be a scourge.
Ding You didn't want to wait until those zombies in the shelter evolved into more powerful mutants, and at that point, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Zhao Gang, who had been busy all day, had already been driven back by Ding You early to supplement his sleep, and Cheng Hai saw that Ding You was not resting, so he naturally refused to sleep. So like Chen Nuo, several people sat in a daze in Villa 1 in the central area.
Ding You frowned and pondered his thoughts, Chen Nuo and Cheng Hai lay beside him, a little sleepy, so he squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep for a while, and he could recover some energy.
Just as a few people were sitting in the silent night with nothing to do, suddenly the walkie-talkie on the table rang.
This is the line that Lin Feiyue left to the trafficker Shen Xinghuai, which is maintained by the intercom repeater. Now that it sounded, could it be that Shen Xinghuai returned to his sales transfer point and called Ding You back?
"That, which boss? Find me to do business, let's talk about it first, I, Shen Dashan, clearly mark the price, but if I don't trade in the survivor base, my price will have to rise, and if you want to deliver it to your door, the price will not be the original price. ”
Shen Xinghuai didn't care who was on the other side of the walkie-talkie, he grabbed the machine and crackled, and several people on Ding You's side couldn't hold back their laughter.
is also a good person, the name is Shen Xinghuai, the homonym is really bad, how can he be embarrassed to wear such a high hat for himself. However, Ding You didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, and he was originally prepared to pay more for a price, so naturally he wouldn't be too entangled.
"I said Boss Shen, you don't even know the transaction partner, so you're embarrassed to make a bid!" Ding You replied.
"I don't care who you are, anyway, you need money to buy people, how risky it is to do some business in these last days, do you know you...... Well? Wait a minute, why do you sound so familiar? ”
Shen Xinghuai's puzzled voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, and it is estimated that he could hear Ding You's voice a little.
"I'm Ding You."
"Ding You? Ding You! …… You're the Ding You who sold food to District 9 and then came to me to buy slaves? ”
Shen Xinghuai thought for a while, and suddenly his voice raised, remembering who Ding You was.
However, Ding You was strange, he didn't know how the skinny monkey Shen Xinghuai knew that he had sold food in the ninth district. But before he could ask, Shen Xinghuai spoke again.
"Boss Ding, Boss Ding, in this way, do you still have food in your hands? You see, I heard that after you sold your food, you went to Shchedrin's shop to exchange crystal cards, and then came to me to buy people. It's better for you to trade with me directly with food, and I'll sell it to you at a discount, a discount, 9% off... No, 20% off, 20% off, Boss Ding, how cost-effective! ”
Ding You smiled, he didn't have a chance to interject, but Shen Xinghuai was in a hurry to sell the population in his hands. Could it be that kid hasn't eaten fresh food for a long time, and a bird has faded out of his mouth.
There is something more interesting, Shen Xinghuai asked directly on the walkie-talkie, asking where Ding You is now. He knew that Ding You had fallen out with Pan Wu in the ninth district, and now he didn't even want the original place to stay, and ran away directly.
Shen Xinghuai meant to ask Ding You if he was far away, if not, he was willing to deliver it to the door at night.
Ding You was stunned, and said in his heart, how anxious is this guy, but on this big night, the danger outside has increased exponentially, just to order food, he Shen Xinghuai is so urgent?
Still slowly, Ding You is still a little uneasy about this kind of business that is sent to the door in a hurry.
Shen Xinghuai saw that Ding You did not let go, so he began to pour bitter water on the walkie-talkie, saying how difficult it was to do human trafficking business in the last days.
Let's not talk about the zombie threat, let's talk about the survivors who seem to be dying. But they have all experienced the crisis of the end times, and the habit that has formed a mindset makes it even more difficult for them to buy the living.
Fights and armed firefights are inevitable, and even if some people are collected steadily, they can see that they are only half breathing, and they have to advance their own funds first.
What is the advance, it is not the advance in the construction project before the end of the world, but the purchaser must first prepare food for the slaves to eat and drink. It's not good, but it's a big expense.
In this way, it is really not easy to do a human trafficking business.
Ding You didn't plan to enter this industry, so he just listened quietly to Shen Xinghuai's complaints. He only cared about how many people Shen Xinghuai could have, so he didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.
"Boss Ding, how many people do you want, you tell me the bottom, and I will do my best to provide you with it. You can rest assured, in the vicinity of the ninth district, when it comes to buying people, just look for me Shen Xinghuai, absolute credit first, so that you are satisfied! ”
"How many of you have, a slave army with military literacy?" Ding You asked directly.
"Uh......" Shen Xinghuai was stunned for a moment, and continued: "Boss Ding, you want to buy the army, this... Yes, there is, but the number is not too much, and it can barely make up a hundred and ten people for you. But I have a lot of adult men and beautiful girls, you can choose whatever you want. ”
There are hundreds of people, there are a lot of them, and with some men and women, this demographic crisis can be alleviated a little.
Ding You is not interested in any beauty recommended by Shen Xinghuai, it is still the same old rule, as before, if there is a family-type slave, it is all wanted. Of course, now we also have to get as many laborers back as possible, so the corresponding number of men will be higher.
When Shen Xinghuai heard Ding You's tone, he didn't seem to have any objection to his request for food settlement, and there were still a lot of people who wanted it, so he was happy in his heart, and his emotions were all expressed in the intercom call.
Ding You planned to trade tomorrow, but Shen Xinghuai immediately said that he would go to various transit points to collect people later, although the ninth district had been closed at night, but he still had a lot of stock in some other small strongholds.
Ding You suddenly felt that Shen Xinghuai, this kid was still quite capable, don't look at him like a thin horse monkey, but his ability is extraordinary, especially in this last world. If you can, it seems that it is not bad to even want to recruit him to the Deep Blue Star Base to specialize in managing the population.
"I said Boss Shen, aren't you afraid to go out at night?"
"Afraid?" Shen Xinghuai on the other end of the walkie-talkie was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses: "Boss Ding, don't worry, I have a special channel to contact, it's safe, but your walkie-talkie, will it be monitored by the ninth district?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Ding You's heart also struck, but he thought about it. Ren Xiaobai and Yan Lao have already encrypted the equipment, and there is a communication base station in the ninth district, so there may not be listening equipment.
But it's better to be careful in everything, Ding You is still counting on Shen Xinghuai to bring more people to him tomorrow. So he asked a few words of concern, which made Shen Xinghuai excited.
"By the way, Boss Ding, you haven't told me where you are now, where will I find you tomorrow?" After talking for a long time, Shen Xinghuai came back to his senses and asked Ding You's current location address.
"At the foot of the mountain, more than 30 kilometers southwest of the ninth district, I will send someone there to meet you tomorrow, how about it, do you know the road?"
"I know each other, I know this place, but there... Boss Ding, don't tell me, you occupied the sixth district on the mountain! ”
As soon as Shen Xinghuai's words came into his ears, Ding You, Chen Nuo, and Cheng Hai were all stunned. Everyone looked at each other, and for the first time they heard that this military base was also called District 6.
