No one expected this to happen at the end of the mission.

The mood of all was heavy and morale was low.

Except for the three little players with a confused face, and the guide who doesn't know how to be a good Bate Street guide.

Chu Guang said that he wanted to stay alone for a while, and calmly think about how to inform the families of the victims of this cruel fact.

He wasn't very good at saying comforting things.

If the acting is too exaggerated, it will be embarrassing to wear a goof, so it is better not to speak at this time.

Sometimes silence is the best language.

Lu Yang put his hand on Chu Guang's shoulder and expressed his understanding.

"I understand your feelings, but in two hours it will be dark and the situation in the city will be complicated. When I get back, I'll ask Li De to contact you...... On the matter of compensation to the families of the victims. ”

It was at least twenty kilometers from here to the Trailblazer, and they had to get back before dark. While the night is not a mortal danger to them, it is prudent not to delay it too late.

"You guys go back first, I'll deal with the aftermath and leave."

"But...... Is it really okay for you guys to stay here? Lukka said with a slightly hesitant expression, glancing at the equipment in the hands of the other three Vault residents.

Iron tube rifles.

The most common weapon found in the wasteland.

But not so much a weapon, it seemed to him to be no different from a water pipe.

"Don't worry, we're familiar with this area, and we've always been like this."

Seeing that Chu Guangdu said this, Lu Yang no longer insisted, and after giving him a firm look, he returned with his own people.

After they walked away, Chu Guang issued a mission through the VM, asked the other three little players to recover the bullet casings all over the ground, and then also took the corpse of Brother Maca on the road.

To be honest, Chu Guang was not greedy for those two bullet shells.

The main reason is that it is too difficult to act a whole way, he used to do sales and not funerals, so he really has no experience in this area.

So let's let Lu Yang and them go first.

On the way back to the outpost, when passing by Bate Street, Chu Guang remembered about the reward, so he took out 5 silver coins and threw them in Zhao Yang's hand.

Looking at the silver coin in his hand, Zhao Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded in thanks.

"Thank you, sir!"

At first, the people on Bate Street were very reluctant to use this metal currency, but since they discovered that it could buy a lot of good things that they couldn't buy before, they gradually began to accept it.

What is the difference between chips and silver coins?

In the winter, there will be no caravans from Boulder City.

What they need is food, fuel, warm clothing, and preferably a new set of bedding to make life easier.

That's all.

"This is what you deserve, and I will come back to you if I need it."

After sending Zhao Yang away, Chu Guang returned to the outpost and sent the corpse in the lying room into the active substance extractor.

Three days later, another good man.

As for what if someone remembers his face? Chu Guang felt that this was not a problem at all, and some people really suspected that it was nothing more than one more twin brother.

Or make an announcement on the official website?

For example, due to a bug in the expansion that cannot be solved temporarily, the player who died in the expansion cannot be resurrected temporarily, and the official will later issue a limited assault rifle or event reward points to the affected account as compensation?

That's reasonable.

How can there be a game without bugs?

Not to mention the closed beta stage, the game itself can only be regarded as a bug giveaway.

As long as the compensation reward is reasonable, the players are still emotionally acceptable, at most like the crow before, there is a withdrawal reaction that can't sleep for three days in a row.

Chu Guang was a little annoyed, he actually had a lot of cards in his hand.

However, the problem now is that he doesn't want his little players to cheat all the rewards when they see them, and they are just fooling people for fools.

But at the same time, he hopes that the young players can help him earn a little more pension. After all, you can earn up to 13cr by working for three days, and it's not too much to lose four figures for a dead person, right?

Tut.

If only there was a way to cool down a little more reasonably.

Chu Guang thought that Li De was probably about to call, so he walked towards the barracks of the office.

Coincidentally, just as Chu Guang was walking in that direction, Luo Hua happened to come out of the barracks, and when he saw him, his eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to greet him.

"Hey, you're finally back."

"Your section chief is looking for me?"

Luo Hua looked at Chu Guang in surprise, nodded and said.

"That's right, he told me to call him if I saw you coming back...... How did you guess? ”

Chu Guangzheng wanted to laugh, but remembered that he couldn't laugh, at least not sway, so he held back and sighed lightly.

"It's a sad story...... We'll talk about it the next time we drink. ”

Luo Hua looked dazed, he didn't understand why he had to wait for a drink to talk, and he didn't understand why Brother Chu, who had always been gentle and elegant, had such a heavy expression.

However, he originally asked casually, and since he was presumptuous, he didn't ask anymore.

"Good ......"

Chu Guang nodded and walked in the direction of the office.

Go through the door of the barracks.

Ace, who was maintaining his weapon, glanced up at him, didn't say a word, skillfully opened the holographic communication system on the table, and sent a contact request to the Pioneer.

This bodyguard usually has very few words, and it can even be said that there is basically none.

Chu Guang admired her character very much, and it would be nice if Boss Xia could learn from her.

Whether it's the attitude of doing things, or the professionalism.

Dark green beams of light intertwined in the air, weaving a three-dimensional web.

After a brief wait, a bust of Li De appeared in the hologram.

After staring at Chu Guang for two seconds, the head of the logistics section saw that Chu Guang had no intention of taking the initiative to open the chatterbox, so he cleared his throat and said.

"I have heard from the captain what happened, and I am sorry for the young man's death. Of course, regret alone is not enough to express our apologies, and if you have no opinion, let's talk about pensions. ”

Really.

Chu Guang knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Nodding his head slightly, he said.

"Yes."

Guessing that this old fox would not take the initiative to open his mouth to "offer", Li De no longer wasted time waiting and continued to speak.

"You are not an employee of the company, and we cannot pay your people pensions according to the standards of the company and the level of the employee. The compensation package after our research is...... 1000cr, which is equivalent to 1000 hours of hourly wage. ”

Chu Guang stared at him.

"I can't accept it, is a human life only worth 1000cr in your eyes?"

A ton of starch is too much!

Makaba is our good partner!

Gotta add money!

Li De also stared at Chu Guang, and was not fooled by this statement of stealing the concept.

"I know that a human life is much more than that, and that life cannot be measured in terms of money, but we also have to consider reality...... What's more, his death was not caused by us, am I right? ”

Hey?

Chu Guang was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this guy to be smart.

It can be seen that before answering the phone, the head of this logistics section should have done a lot of homework, at least to find their captain to understand the entire process of the operation.

Truly.

Strictly speaking, Brother Maca didn't die because of their mistakes, but because his face was too dark, and he stepped on a thunderbolt when he was rummaging through the cabinets.

The implication in Li De's words is obvious, and it can even be said that it is not a hint, it is completely explicit - the deceased did not die because of us, but after all, he died in an action related to us, and we are willing to pay a compensation out of morality, but don't go too far.

Of course, Chu Guang knew it very well in his heart, but expecting him to give up like this would be too underestimating his professionalism.

Nodding, Chu Guang took retreat as the way forward.

"Yes, it is undeniable that we are all responsible for such a thing, and I have no intention of putting all the blame on you. To be honest, your willingness to compensate the families of the victims is already a precious and noble act. But please understand, from my standpoint, I naturally have to find a way to help our people fight a little more. ”

Li De: "Yes, so your answer is?" ”

Chu Guang: "I accept the compensation you offered. In addition, I will give his widow a pension of 2,000 silver coins in my own name, which is enough for her to not worry about material matters for a while. ”

Li De's brows slackened slightly.

Originally, before making this phone call, he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he didn't expect the communication to be unexpectedly smooth.

Let's be honest.

He was surprised.

The fact that this old fox didn't take the opportunity to knock them on a bamboo stick was really unexpected to him, so that the belly draft he had typed in his stomach was completely useless.

What a waste.

"It looks like we're on a consensus."

"Yes, there is a consensus on the issue of pensions."

Originally, when he heard the sentence "yes", Li De still had a smile on his face, but when he heard the final sentence of the second half of the sentence, his blood pressure soared instantly.

Staring at Chu Guang s hologram, he said aggressively while looking for blood pressure medicine in his pocket.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that every resident of the Vault is the collective wealth of the Vault, and that we have to compensate you for his personal losses? ”

Hey?

How else can it be interpreted like this?

Chu Guang, who didn't take this layer into account at all, was surprised, and couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart, and silently wrote down this excuse, planning to use it again when he had the opportunity.

It took a second to sort out his emotions, he stared at Li De in the hologram without humility or arrogance, and said righteously.

What do you mean by that? Is it true that in your mind, all I have in my eyes is money? ”

How else!

Li De restrained the urge to roll his eyes.

"Don't go around in circles, just say it, what do you want?"

Chu Guang said with a heavy face.

"I seriously reflected on the reason for today's accident, and the reason why this happened is not because your people didn't protect us, but because we didn't protect our own people."

"If we could have prepared a body armor and a helmet for him, he wouldn't have been killed on the spot. If we had provided him with a submachine gun or a shotgun, today's tragedy would not have even happened. If—"

Li De couldn't help but interrupt him.

"If we can provide you with a few sets of power armor, you can find fuel rods for us yourself without even us having to do anything, right? Are you trying to say that? ”

Chu Guang actually wanted to say "yes".

But he knew that this kind of talk was useless, and it was pointless except for a change of eyes.

There are some things that don't need to be discussed, such as the power armor, and the modular production units that can be used when plugged in.

Something, though......

You can still fight for it.

"I'm sorry to be too much trouble for you. And it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Chu Guang continued without blushing at all, "Our requirements are not high, and in order to avoid a similar tragedy from happening again, I implore you to send an engineer to support our construction." For example, we can set up a production line for steel, cement, helmets, protective gear, and weapons. ”

"You call this undemanding?" Li De glared at him, his eyes were about to bulge, "What do you think we are, tricksters?" ”

It is much more difficult to build a production line for the production of rifles than it is to produce a rifle.

Depending on the type of process, product quality, degree of automation, and expected capacity, the cost and time required to build this production line can vary greatly.

And it doesn't make much sense to break away from the industrial system and build a single production line. The parts on the production line are wearing out all the time, and if you can't produce these replaceable standardized parts, you might as well take the money and buy the product directly.

"No more."

Interrupting Chu Guang, who was still about to say something, Li De pinched his eyebrows, paused for a while, and continued.

"You're lucky...... I happen to have a 'magnetic confinement plasma CNC machining machine' here. It's kind of interesting, it's very accurate, it's easy to use, and it's relatively easy to maintain, it's an antique we picked up from the last city. But we have more advanced production tools, and they can't be used for that thing, so we keep throwing them in the warehouse and eating dust. ”

Chu Guang's eyes lit up: "How much!" ”

Li De smiled and said, "I can give it to you for free, do you want it?" ”

Chu Guang: "...... Is that thing broken? ”

Li De glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile: "That's right, and it's the kind that is paralyzed in every sense, even if it takes us a lot of effort to fix it." ”

Hearing this, Chu Guang finally understood what this guy wanted to do.

But he didn't have a choice, so he could only ask.

"How much?"

"100,000."

Chu Guang: "......"

mmp！

100,000?!

200 people work 10 hours a day, plus a total of 600 meals per day, nearly 1000cr commission, and they have to work for 27 days in a row to earn this money!

What is the concept of 27 days?

It's unknown whether these people will stay here for 27 days!

“…… Your inflation is really bad. ”

"How so? This is already a very conscientious price, and if you don't believe it, you can ask the caravans from the companies to see if they can offer a cheaper price than ours. ”

Looking at the deflated expression on Chu Guang's face, Li De couldn't help but smile proudly, but quickly coughed lightly and restrained this untimely expression.

"Well, do it, I'll send you instructions for using that thing in a moment. Of course, if you can't afford it, you don't have to force it, the assault rifles and body armor we produce can also give you the ability to protect yourself. And I bet the quality will definitely be much better than what you produce yourself. ”

"By the way, the pension will come later...... You went too far off topic, and I almost forgot about such an important thing. ”

Throwing this sentence down, Li De happily ended the communication.

From his expression at the last second, Chu Guang could feel the pride in this guy's heart.

It must be a good feeling.

Chu Guang tried to bring in his position.

I found that it was not just cool, it was simply cool.

"Do you still need to use the phone?" Seeing that he didn't move, Ace, who was waiting on the side, asked.

"No need."

Hearing that there was no need, Ace didn't procrastinate, and reached out to turn off the holographic communication device.

Dark green beams of light disappeared from the barracks.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Chu Guang's face, and Ai Si was slightly stunned, and a trace of imperceptible surprise appeared on his expressionless face.

She clearly remembered that this person still had a deflated expression a second ago, but at this moment, she couldn't find the slightest shadow of deflated.

Instead......

Seems to flash a flash of excitement?

Not really......

Ace felt that he must have seen it wrong.

After all, no matter what, they only had one partner killed, and the compensation didn't seem to live up to expectations. She couldn't imagine that he had any reason to be happy.

But Lao Li of this logistics department is really good enough.

100,000 cr......

You'll have to work for a long, long time.

-

(A total of 260,000 words have been updated this month, and to be honest, I'm quite surprised, but it's true that I feel like my body is hollowed out, sometimes I don't sleep enough for six hours a day, and I may still need to improve my writing skills and hand speed, so I have to review this.)

At the beginning of a new month, set a small goal for yourself and try to get 10,000 days a day! Try to maintain the old tradition of the 10-point update! If you can't do it, just shoot me lightly, and I will try to work hard to get to more than 8k on the premise of ensuring quality.

For the sake of how hard we have worked this month, I kindly ask for half a day of sick leave, and I will go to the clinic in a while...... Although I know that eighty percent of it is a small cold caused by a chaotic schedule, I feel more relieved to check it and see if I need to take medicine.

Sorry, that's a chapter for today. ）
