Chapter 63: Preparing Manpower
"You're doing a great job. Henderson smiled with satisfaction, got up and walked over to Lilith and picked the woman up, "Let me reward you well." ”
There was no need to continue listening to the sound coming from the eavesdropper again, Chen Mo shook his head and turned off the eavesdropper. This is actually one of the reasons why Chen Mo is reluctant to touch Lilith, this kind of woman is too dirty.
Maybe this kind of thing is nothing in the world that advocates timely fun, and these survivors basically have the mentality of being happy in time, and some of them will definitely go on it. But Chen Mo can't, he is dirty.
When Henderson was busy running errands, Chen Mo was not idle, he first found Old Jack, "I want to ask you something." ”
Old Jack, who received the cigarettes handed over by Chen Mo, suddenly tightened his heart before he had time to be happy, he was very afraid that he had betrayed Chen Mo and that he had already known about it. Fortunately, Chen Mo's next words made him relax.
"Do you know if there are any large bases here that haven't been searched yet?" Chen Mo lit a cigarette for Old Jack with a very cordial attitude.
"Boss, you're asking the right question. Old Jack Meimei smoked a cigarette and had my expression full of everything, "I've lived here for decades, and there's no place around here that I don't know!"
"Oh?" Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and smiled, and handed over a pack of cigarettes casually, "Then tell me." ”
"There must be no more near us. Old Jack put the cigarette in his pocket with a greedy face, "There is no large base here, and I have searched all over the years." Even large underground bases have long since been breached by the Commission's forces. So don't think about it around here. ”
"What about other places?" Chen Mo continued to ask.
"Elsewhere, I've heard that there's a very large base under the Pentagon. But no one has ever been there, the nuclear contamination over there is too serious, and there is no way to find the password to open it, even after so many years, the code door is still valid. Old Jack thought for a moment and then said, "Last year, I heard from a wanderer from the west that there was an underground military base near Scranton on the west side. It's just that it's occupied by a large number of mutated creatures. The local survivors have organized numerous attacks that have failed. No one dares to go there anymore. ”
"Good. Chen Mo showed a meaningful smile and nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you know the specific location of the base over there in Scranton?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"The wanderer gave me a map of the base before he died. Old Jack looked at Chen Mo with some doubts, "But even if there is a map, it's useless." The settlement over there has organized many attacks, but they have all been wiped out by the mutant monsters that have entrenched there. If it could be captured, it would have been occupied by others for so many years. ”
"What I want is something that isn't occupied. Chen Mo responded with a smile: "Can you give me the map?"
"This. Old Jack's eyes flickered, and a philistine expression appeared on his face, "I used a lot of good things to get it from that wanderer." By the way, he was seriously injured at the time, and I used a lot of medicine to treat him. It costs a lot. ”
In fact, the situation is that Old Jack did meet such a wanderer in the first place. It's just that at that time, the wanderer was already dying due to the attack of the mutant monster, and Old Jack just fed him a mouthful of contaminated water to see if it was possible to get some important information.
The wanderer told Old Jack about what had happened in Scranton and died of his injuries. As for the map, old Jack had found it from the wanderer.
Because the survivors over there attacked many times without success, but repeatedly wiped out the whole army. In this case, the so-called map loses its meaning. If it weren't for Chen Mo's inquiry today, maybe Old Jack wouldn't have remembered this matter at all.
Now that Chen Mo wants this place, Old Jack, who adheres to the spirit of plucking the feathers of geese and putting interests first, immediately wants to extort a sum of money from Chen Mo.
However, what shocked Old Jack was. He originally just wanted a bowl of haggis soup, but he didn't expect Chen Mo to directly serve him a seafood feast!
Chen Mo took out a cigarette and threw it directly to Old Jack: "I'll exchange this with you." ”
Old Jack's eyes were filled with greed. He had never made such a fortune in his life. At this moment, Old Jack's eyes only had this beautifully packaged cigarette left, and he didn't notice that Chen Mo's gaze at him at this time was already cold!
Some people are always blinded by greed, and they are running towards death without knowing it. Then Chen Mo had no choice but to fulfill him.
"I'll go back and get the map now. Old Jack, who was holding on to his cigarette and not letting go, could no longer hide his ecstatic countenance, turned around and prepared to run home.
"There's no rush. Chen Mo smiled kindly, "Tomorrow, you bring your team, and we'll go out." Give it to me when the time comes. ”
"Okay boss!" Old Jack, who couldn't wait to enjoy it, left the house rented by Chen Mo and ran towards his house quickly.
Looking at the back of Old Jack in the distance, Chen Mo sat on the chair and took a deep breath of his cigarette, "This is your own death." ”
Chen Mo had given Henderson a metal lighter before, and Henderson liked it and always carried it with him, not knowing that there was a bugging device inside. After that, the conversation between Henderson and Old Jack had long been known to Chen Mo. Now Chen Mo is ready to let Old Jack and them receive the lunch.
Early the next morning, Old Jack and his party all arrived at the entrance of the settlement with dark circles under their eyes, and they had hardly slept all night the previous night.
When people are poor, they just want to live, and they don't care about anything else. But when you have wealth, your mind will start to change and you want to get more and better.
Old Jack originally thought that he was going to run around like this to fill his stomach, and he didn't know when and where he would finish his life. But he didn't expect that he would get a large amount of money from Chen Mo from the sky. That's right, it's the cigarette that Chen Mo gave him.
Don't look at it as just a cigarette, but in this apocalyptic world, it is enough for old Jack to live a free life.
With this cigarette, Old Jack suddenly felt that he shouldn't live such a messy life. He should be living like the big guys. And if you want to live a good life in this last days, the most important thing is to have someone with a gun in your hand.
So old Jack took his companions to eat, drink, and be merry all night. In order to first form their own team, and then build their own team.
Old Jack is already fantasizing about forming a powerful mercenary group and living a life of a superior man every day.
Chen Mo looked at the few guys in front of him who were starting to walk with weak legs, smiled lightly and didn't care, "Since everyone is here, let's go." ”
"Boss, this is not the way outside. There were still some dizzy old Jack who followed Chen Mo for a distance before he realized that the route was wrong, this was the way to the outskirts of the settlement.
"I know. Chen Mo replied without replying, "I still have to gather some more people." ”
The outer perimeter of the settlement is the metro station from a few decades ago, which became the outer area because it was closest to the surface. Here are some old people and children, all people who have no way to survive and are abandoned here to die.
When Chen Mo and his party came here, they saw that the eyes of these people were all dark and dead.
Chen Mo squinted his eyes and walked slowly among the lying or sitting crowds, and shouted loudly after attracting enough eyes, "Do you want to eat?"
The crowd was in an uproar, and the lifeless eyes of many people gradually brightened.
"Do you want to drink?" Chen Mo lowered his gaze and looked at a skinny little boy in front of him who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, "Do you want a woman?"
'Goo. The boy, whose face was thin and looked as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice. ”
"Good. Chen Mo smiled with satisfaction: "I can give you everything." ”
The crowd finally stirred, and these old people and children who couldn't stand up one after another got up and gathered around Chen Mo. Even because there were too many people, the scared old Jack hurriedly wanted to stop them.
"Get out of the way. Chen Mo directly pushed Old Jack and the others away and faced the crowd, "I can give you everything you want, but." ”
Chen Mo's face sank, and his eyes swept over the crowd in front of him as sharp as a knife, "I need your life!"
The scene was quiet, and hundreds of people gathered around Chen Mo. They all looked at Chen Mo with extremely complicated eyes, just looking at him like this. This gradually depressing atmosphere made Old Jack and the others panic.
Chen Mo lit a cigarette with a calm expression, took a deep breath, and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the little boy in front of him.
'Cough cough cough ~~~' The little boy who smoked for the first time in his life coughed hard after being choked, and his coughing waist bent down. But the little boy began to cry, and it was the most enjoyable moment of his life.
Chen Mo squatted down and patted the little boy on the shoulder, and whispered to him in a soft tone, "I can give you whatever you want." All you have to do is give me your life. ”
"My life is yours. The little boy's eyes were red, and his eyes were like beasts, "You can let me do anything!"
Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, stood up and looked around, "Who else!!"
The survivors of the middle level of the settlement looked at the large crowd of people walking in the streets, puzzled. At the head was an outsider, followed by a large group of children with somewhat evasive eyes and somewhat unstable figures.
These are all the subordinates found by Chen Mo, and there are hundreds of children. They are all children, Chen Mo didn't want an old man. Although the old man has experience, experience means slippery. Chen Mo doesn't need a slippery person, what he needs is cannon fodder with good control.
And the direction Chen Mo was going to at this time was the location of the largest arms dealer in District 21.
