Chapter 39: The Nine-Man Security Team
The next morning.
Li Ba asked Dafang to bring the twenty catties of bean sprouts brewed last night and go to the farmers' market to sell. The price is two catties of food stamps and one catty, and the sales situation is evaluated. By the way, he also gave a thousand catties of food stamps, and asked the brothers to go to the market to buy jade, as much as they wanted. If you don't have enough food stamps, come back and pick them up.
After breakfast, not long after going out in Dafang Xiaofang, Shi Hefeng Xiaoyang brought people over.
Combined, the two teams have a total of nine disabled mercenaries. Most of them are broken arms. It is said that when he was fighting with zombies, he was accidentally scratched, and in order to avoid infection, his companions cut off their arms on the spot to save their lives.
There are two lame legs. There is also a right calf that has been completely broken, which is considered the most serious disability.
However, these nine people are all very strong, and they are obviously veterans of battlefield fighting. They brought their own weapons and equipment, mostly shotguns. Two are armed with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. The people stood in a row, murderous, and quite intimidating.
"Lao Li, someone brought it to you."
Stone said with a smile.
"My four brothers, five on the stone side, are all good hands."
Feng Xiaoyang glanced away. Among the nine people, a man with a dark face immediately stood up and said loudly: "Brother Li, you will be our boss from today onwards. As long as there is an order, come in the water, go in the fire, and the brothers will never frown! ”
"Okay, okay."
Li Ba is very satisfied. On the spot, a generous salary was issued, and each person received a fixed salary of 100 catties of food stamps per month. In addition, three meals are included, and a pack of cigarettes is served every other day. If the business of the supply store is good, there will be a bonus at the end of the month.
"This treatment...... Even I'm a little red-eyed! ”
Shi half-jokingly said, turned around and shouted at the nine people: "Brothers, Boss Li treats him so kindly, you have to do your best to share his worries." When you encounter trouble that can't be solved, report the names of the Giant Rock Mercenary Group and the Fengshen Mercenary Group. There are guys who don't open their eyes, although they teach Lao Tzu a lesson, everything is borne by Lao Tzu and Feng Shao! ”
"Yes." The nine responded in unison.
After an explanation, the stone and the wind Xiaoyang left. They also have a group of brothers to feed, so they have to go out of the city every day to search for supplies.
In the nine-person security team, Li Ba chose a captain, who was the man who had expressed his determination before. His name is Zhao Hongyun, and he has suffered a serious injury to his left leg, and he has some difficulty walking and is limping.
But according to Feng Xiaoyang, Zhao Hongyun is still his senior brother. Hand and foot kung fu used to rank second in the entire Fengshen mercenary group, only below Feng Xiaoyang.
"Lao Zhao, the material store will only open in two days, there is nothing to do for the time being, you and your brothers don't have to stand all the time, find a place to rest!"
Li Ba threw a cigarette. After Zhao Hongyun took it, he sent cigarettes to his brothers. But none of them rested, standing on both sides of the storefront, faithful to their duties.
Li Ba saw it and didn't say much. These nine people used to be good at the mercenary group, but now they are disabled, for them, they are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of being looked down upon. If you insist on letting them rest, you will have a bad mood.
Go back to the villa.
Early in the morning, Ji'er was watering vegetables in the yard. At her feet, the puppy swayed with its round belly. As soon as he saw Li Ba coming, the little guy immediately spread his feet and crawled over to meet him. Shaking his head again, and waging his tail again, he looked extremely intimate.
"Puppy day, the spirit is not bad!"
Li Ba picked up the puppy. The little guy's four legs hung in the air, but it didn't affect its enthusiasm for Li Ba, stretching out his pink tongue to lick Li Ba's hand, and he looked like a dog's flattering look.
"Uncle, Xiao Hei Hei has a name, don't swear, okay!"
Regarding Li Ba calling his pet 'puppy day', Ji'er made a small face and was a little unhappy.
"Oh, Uncle is wrong, Uncle changed his words, Xiao Heihei, right...... Damn, you puppy day and steal Lao Tzu's melon! Li Ba saw that the puppy had melon seeds in his mouth, and immediately couldn't help but scold again.
This time, Ji'er didn't stop it. A little embarrassed to explain that in the morning she fed the little black rice and didn't eat it, and the little guy slipped directly into Li Ba's room, and refused to come out when he got under the bed. The mutated big melon that scourges Li Ba inside.
"Little cub, if you dare to steal Lao Tzu's melon, Lao Tzu will peel you and stew dog meat in a pot to eat, believe it or not!"
Li Ba warned viciously. The puppy was unconscious, still kicking his calves, shaking his head and tail at him and sticking out his tongue, putting on a flattering look.
Actually, Li Ba is to say. Ever since learning that the mutant dog is strong and loyal, he has decided to nurture this pup carefully. Space Spirit Spring and Mutated Grain Fruits, you can eat as much as you want. But there is one thing, you have to train this little guy to understand the rules, otherwise, it will be difficult to train in the future.
Seeing the little guy's affection for himself, he was amused in his heart. Touching out a bottle of space spirit spring, the little guy's nose twitched a few times, and he immediately leaned over and drank it in a big gulp.
Seeing that Uncle Li was not angry, Ji'er was relieved. stepped forward and took Li Ba's arm and asked him to see his results in the past few days. The vegetables planted in the flower bed have grown well under the careful care of the little girl in the past few days.
"Not bad! Not bad. ”
Li Ba was full of praise. By the way, I started to do it, and set aside a place in the yard for keeping chickens, ducks and geese in captivity.
Seven chickens, two big white geese, eleven fat ducks. These are the live birds that Li Ba harvested from the village yesterday. If it is raised and not slaughtered, if it is used for breeding, it can begin to take shape in a year at most.
The work of feeding the poultry was also handed over to the concubine. Li Ba told her to feed her more water and less food these days. The water used to water the vegetables is all mixed with the spiritual spring. It is believed that long-term drinking can improve the physique of these poultry.
After the explanation, Li Ba went out, planning to go to that small village again and pack all the remaining useful materials back.
Familiar with the road, Li Ba drove out of the city on three agricultural wheels and came to the old place. Park your car and hike over the barbed wire fence in the safety zone. The journey was smooth, I didn't meet zombies, and I came to a small village.
It took him two hours to take all the remaining useful supplies from the village.
Ten o'clock. Li Ba had already driven a tricycle full of supplies to the outside of the settlement. From afar, he saw Luo Jianguo standing at the gate of the city, waving at him.
"Cousin!"
Li Ba rolled down the window and greeted Luo Jianguo with a smile. He had already recognized his relatives with Luo Jianguo, and this cousin shouted very affectionately.
Luo Jianguo walked over with a smile on his face, glanced at the carriage, and praised: "I went out of the city at eight o'clock, and I came back before ten o'clock, and I still dragged such a carload of supplies...... Cousin, you're there! ”
Li Ba looked around, pretending to be mysterious, and then lowered his voice and replied: "Yesterday, I was lucky, not far south of the safety zone, and bumped into a small village that had not been visited by survivors...... The supplies alone pulled three major carts. No, there's still a little bit left, and I got up early today and dragged it back. ”
At this point, he said one more thing, "I have prepared some souvenirs for my cousin and eldest niece, and I am about to send them over in the air!" ”
Luo Jianguo smiled and said: "I have a heart, I have a heart." Then, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Ba. This piece of paper is stacked boxy. After Li Ba opened it, his eyes lit up, and the seemingly ordinary paper was covered with the official seal of the settlement, which was the business license of the material store.
"Cousin, you are really a timely rain for your little brother!"
Li Ba was overjoyed. His supply store is fully prepared and everything is ready, just this piece of paper!
"Cousin to you, my Lao Luo will also get things done for you!"
Luo Jianguo said this, looked around, saw no one, lowered his voice and said: "Open a material store to pay attention to complete goods, if you are almost something, just talk to me." ...... in the Material Management Division My cousin can still talk! ”
Li Ba's eyes lit up when he heard this. He overlooked one thing, which was also a road to great wealth. The cheap cousin in front of him is the deputy director of the material management office of the settlement, in charge of the affairs of the outer city. There are countless supplies handled from refugees every day, and if you loosen it a little and transfer it to yourself at a low price, you will also make a lot of money.
Also, this official position is not big, and the authority at hand is not small. There must be intersections with the big and small heads of various departments in the settlement, and the connections are very extensive. With him in the background, I believe that the most in-demand materials in the settlement can also be obtained.
"Cousin, can you get this thing?" Li Ba gestured his hand into a pistol.
Luo Jianguo squinted his eyes and said unhurriedly: "This thing is tightly managed, if there is no more, a dozen or so is still not a problem." ”
Li Ba was overjoyed and asked, "What about the bullets?" ”
"There's a fellow of mine in the quartermaster department, what about bullets...... It should be possible to get ten boxes and eight boxes a day! ”
"Where's the crystal nucleus?"
"How many low-level crystal nuclei are needed, and the first-level crystal nuclei are a little difficult, more than one level or more, don't you think!"
Li Ba even asked several in-demand materials, and Luo Jianguo had all the ways. He didn't say more, and directly dropped a sentence to Luo Jianguo: "Cousin, my cousin, let's talk about it at your house tonight!" ”
"Okay, I'll ask your sister-in-law to prepare a few more appetizers."
Luo Jianguo smiled and nodded.
ps: First update in the morning. The plot unfolds quickly, Li Fatzi will not be bullied all the time, what will his force value be...... You should be able to guess. (Thanks to Black Gold Centurion for tipping)
