Chapter 141: Recruiting Guards
It seems that canned beef is a luxury food even in the eyes of cultivators. As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, someone stood up excitedly.
But this is not to blame them, the price of canned beef is about 30 white crystals a piece, and even if Lin Feng gives them a salary increase, it will take three months to buy a box. This has to be said to be bought without eating or drinking, and all the salaries can only be bought after all the salaries are saved.
And these cultivators, it is already good to be able to earn tens of hundred white crystals every month. Moreover, it is necessary to rely on Bai Jing to improve his cultivation, so what he really saves every month is not enough to buy a box of canned beef.
This is similar to Lin Feng's previous life, a person with a monthly salary of 3,000 saved 2,000 yuan to go to a high-end restaurant for a meal. For the average person, it is a sigh of admiration.
At present, the number of cultivators in the Beishan base is really a little small, and it just so happens that they have just experienced the second end of the world. After the second apocalyptic rain, there should still be some ordinary people who have become cultivators. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Feng needed to replenish the number of his subordinates, so he proposed this reward.
"And I'm going to buy two hundred laser rifles, as well as some large weapons, to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the base."
With the excitement of everyone below, Lin Feng threw a bombshell again.
"Coax ......"
If Lin Feng said that the reward canned food just now, everyone was just excited, then now the whole pan is fried below.
Two hundred laser rifles, what kind of concept is this, before the entire Beishan base had no more than a hundred laser weapons. Laser rifles normally require one thousand white crystals, and two hundred white crystals need two hundred white crystals. And listening to the new leader, you still need to buy large weapons, so how much money will it cost.
But if it is really as the new leader said, after purchasing these weapons, the overall strength of the Beishan base will be comprehensively improved. Among the four major bases of Tianheng Mountain, the status of the Beishan base will be improved all of a sudden.
"After these weapons are in place, if there are special circumstances, they will be given priority to our cultivators. After use, it will be collected uniformly to ensure the integrity of the quantity. ”
After raising your hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Lin Feng added again.
If he wanted to buy weapons, Lin Feng was not prepared to send them casually according to the number of people. For these weapons, Lin Feng was ready to manage them in a unified manner and distribute them to everyone when necessary. This is also the practice of other bases. The average person only owns the weapons he has purchased. Only in the event of a major incident will the base distribute weapons uniformly.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, the people below all nodded in agreement, and no one felt that it was inappropriate. The weapon was bought by Lin Feng, and it was already very good to be able to use it for them. Having a good weapon in a special situation is more important than anything else. And laser weapons still have some deterrent power for those low-level cultivators.
The main goal now is the recruitment of guards, and although cultivators are also important, as the most basic guards, they cannot be ignored.
After emphasizing a few points, the meeting was dismissed, for these cultivators, although they learned the news of Li Shuo's death today, the bold actions of the newly appointed leader were much stronger than Li Shuo's. It doesn't matter much to them who is the leader, the important thing is to be able to live safely, and that is enough.
…………
In the outermost slum area of the North Mountain base, in a small inconspicuous tent.
"Mom. Did you see that? The base is going to be guarded! ”
Song Guochen ran back from outside and shouted at his mother, who was sewing clothes.
Song Guochen is not tall, has a round face, and although he lives in a slum, he is very white. Short hair, a gray sweater on the upper body, and a pair of black pants on the lower body, obviously have been worn for a long time.
"Why are you so flustered, come, your dad will bring back a steamed bun at noon. said that in the morning, he hit a white crystal with others. I bought a few steamed buns, and he also divided one, so he quickly ate it while it was hot. ”
Song Guochen's mother saw her son come back, and picked up the one on the table that was a little yellow. The steamed bun, which was still steaming, said to him with a smile.
The husband went out hunting with others early in the morning, and with good luck, he hit a first-class zombie and earned a white crystal. A few people discussed that the family hadn't eaten steamed buns for a long time, so they exchanged the white crystal for a few steamed buns, and the family divided one.
"Mom, I'm not hungry, you can eat. Take a look at this message. ”
Walking quickly to the table, picking up the water cup on the table, and after taking a few big sips of water, Song Guochen raised the doomsday watch and said to his mother.
Song Guochen was already sixteen years old, and he thought he was an adult, and he wanted to go out hunting with his father. But no matter how much he asked, his father did not agree. In desperation, I had no choice but to stay at home. The entire family of three relied on his father to go out hunting alone, and the family lived in poverty, so they could only live in the outermost slum area of the Beishan base.
And today, a message suddenly came from Song Guochen's last days, and after seeing that message, he hurriedly ran home.
"The Beishan base recruits base guards for all members of the base, and all men over the age of sixteen and under the age of thirty-five can sign up. Salary: Provide room and board, monthly salary of 10 white crystal. Enrollment location: XXXXXX"
After Song Guochen's mother saw the message on her son's apocalyptic table, she picked up her apocalyptic watch and looked at it, and found that there was also this message. It's just that I didn't pay attention to it when I was washing clothes just now, and I saw that the final signature should be issued by the Beishan base.
"Mom, I'm sixteen, and I want to try."
Lin Feng had just turned sixteen years old, and the Beishan base had not recruited guards like this for a long time, this was an opportunity, and Song Guochen wanted to try it.
"Mom can't do this, so let's wait for your dad to come back and discuss it with her."
Being a base guard is very beautiful, but it also has a certain amount of danger. Song Guochen's mother can't make the decision herself, so she still has to discuss it with the child's father.
Soon it was going to be dark, and Song Guochen's father returned.
"Today's harvest is good, and I fought another first-level zombie in the afternoon. The three of us changed a bowl of rice so that we could cook some porridge and drink. If you have this harvest every day, you won't have to go hungry in the future. ”
As soon as he entered the door, Song Guochen's father said happily.
In the last days, it is already a very happy thing to be able to eat rice. A total of two first-class zombies were killed today, so Song Guochen's father was in a good mood.
"Dad, the base is starting to recruit guards, I want to try."
Song Guochen saw his father come back and took the bag containing a small handful of rice in his hand. Said to his father.
Ever since I received the news that the base was recruiting guards, I had been thinking about it all afternoon. Now that he was finally looking forward to his father's return, Song Guochen hurriedly mentioned this matter to his father.
"I've got this message too, but the guards are too dangerous. Especially when you go out to search for supplies, sometimes the casualties are very large. ”
Listening to Song Guochen's words, his father frowned and spoke.
The guards of the base are very imposing on weekdays, but if they are really in danger at the base. Or when they go out to search for supplies, the casualty rate of the guards is still not small. Although this position is really good, Song Guochen's father is still worried about his son's safety.
"Dad, I'm sixteen years old, and I can't do anything at home anymore. And the guard's salary is 10 white crystals per month, which is enough to feed our family. ”
Hearing that his father did not agree with him going, Song Guochen said anxiously.
"It's too dangerous for you to go out hunting, I'm already a man, I'm no longer a child, and I have to take on the responsibility of supporting my family."
It is also dangerous to go out hunting. The sensible Song Guochen wants to share part of the family, and if he goes to be the first place, he will have an income, and the conditions of the family will be better.
Looking at the sensible Song Guochen, his father's eyes slowly moistened. It seems that the child has really grown up, Song Guochen's father said secretly in his heart.
…………
Early the next morning, Song Guochen came to the place where guards were recruited as indicated in the information of the end times.
Yesterday, in the end, Song Guochen's father agreed to him to participate in the registration, and his father was finally explained by him. Song Guochen, who was overjoyed, didn't close his eyes almost all night, and ran out of the house as soon as it was dawn.
But even so, when Song Guochen arrived at the place where the guards were recruited. Still see a long line ahead.
Hearing about the recruitment of guards at the Beishan base, many people came here to line up before dawn. 10 Bai Jing's monthly salary, plus food and accommodation. This is a great temptation in the last days, as long as it can be passed. The family has a source of livelihood.
Although there are conditions for registration, only men over the age of 16 and under the age of 15 can register, but despite this, nearly 1,000 people have come to participate.
Ten tables were set up in the registration office where the guards were recruited, and more than a hundred people were lined up in front of each table. Song Guochen looked at the end of the world, and there was still an hour before the registration time at 8 o'clock.
In the meantime. People kept coming to line up. By eight o'clock, the procession of nearly 3,000 men was spectacular.
A convoy came from a distance and stopped not far in front of the registration office. Ma Dong walked out of the car with a team of cultivators and came to the front of the registration office.
The matter of selecting the guards was Ma Dong's sole responsibility, and after selecting ten people from the cultivator team, Ma Dong and the others came here.
Although they were all low-level cultivators, it was still enough to recruit guards. The ten guards took the registration forms and made it to the front ten tables, while Ma Dong stood behind them.
The way to sign up is as simple as filling out a form. There will be a selection in the future, and those who pass the selection will be able to truly become the guards of the Beishan base.
The registration was very smooth, and in just about an hour, thousands of forms were filled out. Seeing that there was nothing going on at the moment, Ma Dong was in a hurry. After explaining a bit, I went to the bathroom.
At this time, it happened to be Song Guochen's registration, and after waiting for two hours, Song Guochen came to the registration table.
"Can you be sixteen?"
Watching Ma Dong walk away with his spare eyes, a thin cultivator behind the table raised his eyelids and said to Song Guochen.
"I'm just 16 years old this year, and the chief can take a look at the information on my end-time table."
After listening to the man's words, Song Guochen immediately explained that he didn't want to be unnamed because of this.
"I don't think you're even sixteen."
Seeing that Ma Dong had already walked away, the man supported his chin with his right hand, twisted his thumb and middle finger, and said to Song Guochen.
Song Guochen was just a sixteen-year-old child, and he didn't understand the meaning of the thin man in front of him.
"The chief said that if you are not yet sixteen, you are not yet sixteen, so don't go quickly."
At this time, a young man behind Song Guochen spoke. Then he took out five white crystals and quietly put them on the table in front of him.
"Report sir, the youngest one is sixteen years old. This is not a tribute. I also hope that in the next selection, the chief will bring more small ones. ”
The young man smiled as he took a form to fill out.
"Well, yes, it's pretty good at it, what's your name?"
The skinny cultivator smiled at the young man while quietly receiving the five white crystals on the table under the registration form into the end of the world.
"Is that how you recruited the first guard?"
Before the young man could speak, a cold voice came from not far away. (To be continued.) )
