Guns, at all times, are more convincing than words.

Like now.

It didn't take long for Li to make a decision, and he had no doubt that it didn't even take a charge for these people to destroy them in front of him.

Even though the homeless people behind him were not willing, he tried to convince them.

"We don't have a choice, they're not going to let us move on, there's no way we're going to go back."

A ragged wasteland man couldn't help but shout, "What if we hand over our weapons and they open fire directly at us?" ”

"What if we don't hand over our weapons?" Away looked at the man and said, "They don't even need a charge to take out us." ”

The waster couldn't argue with that.

There are more than 180 of them, and more than half of them are old and weak, women and children, and less than 70 young and middle-aged men can form combat effectiveness...... And that's when children over the age of eight and under the age of 14 are counted.

All the firearms add up to only more than twenty, and the rest are bows, arrows and spears, these equipment are enough to deal with some marauders who are also crotch-pulling, but they can only hide far away when they encounter hard stubble.

It's not the first time they've been driven out of other survivor colonies, and almost no one leaves their living rooms open in the winter.

At least, these people did not open fire directly when they had the ability to destroy them.

This is already the greatest kindness......

After the homeless people laid down their weapons, Chu Guang asked the wrench to send two people in to collect their weapons, and at the same time kept his promise to set up a cauldron in the open space at the east gate.

Chu Guang couldn't give them the same good food as the players, but he wouldn't have watched this group of homeless people starve and freeze in the cold wind.

He issued a task through VM to send scrambled eggs with tomatoes to the warehouse to get fifty kilograms of green barley and go to make a pot of porridge for them.

At the same time, let the man who called him leave, with a young and middle-aged labor force who could still work, set up camp in the open space fifty meters away from the east gate.

The terrain is undulating, with dead trees embedded in the snow everywhere, as well as concrete debris and a small amount of building debris to work on.

Building a shack is an essential skill for every Wastelander, and these people are no exception. After giving them some tools such as shovels and carts, the work went fairly well.

At the same time, the cauldron at the east gate was also propped up, and as the water in the pot boiled, the scrambled egg brother poured all the green wheat into it.

Wheat with a sour smell of grass is difficult to make people appetizing, and it takes a while to get rid of the astringency.

But it's for the players.

For those who are already starving to death, even a little muddy soup is a supreme delicacy.

The white gas wafting from the pot made all the homeless people swallow their spit, and the speed of building the camp was accelerated.

Standing behind Chu Guang and watching, several players whispered in whispers.

"These people look weird and pathetic."

"It's pitiful, even the children are helping."

"But I didn't expect that someone would come to this survivor stronghold just after it was built."

"It worked too quickly."

Listening to the whispers of the players, Chu Guang also felt puzzled in his heart. Although he let him light the cigarette, he didn't expect to attract people the next day.

Why didn't anyone come when the Trailblazer was still around? There was a lot of smoke in the camp at that time, and his little players got up early in the morning to cook for themselves.

It's just time to come!

If these homeless people had come early or two days earlier, their food would have been much better than it is now. Those people on the Pioneer are not short of food and clothing, and they can't see poor people more than themselves. Chu Guang even bet that as long as he said that he could accept these homeless people, he believed that they would definitely generously support him with a sum of supplies.

As for now, Chu Guang can only say that he will do his best.

Taking advantage of the efforts of these homeless people to set up camps, Chu Guang asked Old Luca to make a census of their population.

There are a total of 187 displaced people, of whom more than 61 are young and middle-aged men over the age of 14, and the rest are elderly and infirm women and children, and even 5 babies under the age of 10 and 4 pregnant women.

Chu Guang estimated that when their team was the largest, there should be about three or four hundred people, and I am afraid that they will be reduced by half along the way.

Even so, they are in much better condition than the nomads who have settled near the wetland park.

If I remember correctly, the Iron Axe Elder led his people all the way from the north of the River Valley Province, and when they came here, even the men were dying, and even their own seeds were remembered.

The guns were seized by the guards, and the knives, axes, and bows were allowed to be kept.

According to the statistics of the wrench, they handed over a total of 23 iron tube rifles of different calibers, including 5 old-fashioned smoothbore guns, which really surprised Chu Guang.

They actually got here with all this equipment.

It's unimaginable.

"My lord, I was in their camp just now, and I found someone with typhoid fever." Luka, who had returned from the camp of exiles, reported to Chu Guang.

Chu Guang: "Is it serious?" ”

"I'm not sure, most of them are in poor physical condition, maybe they're hungry, maybe they're really sick...... I can't tell," said Luca cautiously, "I'm afraid they'll bring a plague, and we have neither a doctor nor enough medicine to deal with it." ”

Chu Guang thought for a moment and nodded.

"I see, I'll figure it out."

To be honest, in fact, Chu Guang didn't have any good solutions.

Hygiene isn't an issue at all for players, at least not the core one.

Even if you are not a player with a constitution, as long as the level reaches LV7 or above, you can basically have a constitution of 6~7 points, which is already 120%~140% of the work efficiency of the immune system of normal adults.

As for Chu Guang himself, his physique has reached 14, and the work efficiency of the immune system is close to three times that of a normal person, not to mention that ordinary diseases are of little use to him, even if it is a certain dose of toxicity and a mild degree of radiation, he can be immune to a certain extent.

Seeing that the manager understood, old Luca paused and continued.

"In addition, there is the food ......"

"You say."

"We provide them with a minimum standard, and more than 180 people consume almost 50 kilograms of food a day, or 1,500 kilograms a month, and this is still in an ideal situation. You got some food from the Trailblazer, but I'm afraid this winter will last until late February, or even early March...... Our own food is already strained. ”

The outpost now has five hundred players, and the daily food consumption reaches a staggering half a ton. Sometimes old Luca really thinks that those people are just rice buckets, and they don't have the spirit of saving at all, and they can't wait to eat twice or even three times as much as they eat in a day.

At present, the total grain reserves of the outpost base are just over 30 tons, of which corn, rice, and potatoes purchased from the Pioneer account for one-third, and raw meat, jerky, and fish obtained from hunting account for one-third.

The rest were the booty from the Bloody Hands, the old leeches, and a portion of the Brown Farm's unsolicited tribute.

According to conservative estimates, if the current trend continues, this grain may be enough to last until the end of the year.

"Food is indeed a problem," Chu Guang pondered for a moment, "I'll figure out a way to deal with this." ”

Just a month ago, the food in the outpost was not enough for dozens of people to eat for half a month.

Deal.

Just ask your neighbor to borrow some.

……

After the porridge for the hungry was distributed, the noise in the camp gradually subsided.

Many people have been running all the way, and they can no longer bear the fatigue, and now their stomachs are filled with warm food, and they have curled up in sleeping bags under the shack and fell asleep.

Although they were asleep, the wrench did not dare to let down his vigilance, and arranged for people to stand on the fence to keep an eye on the situation in the camp camp.

Chu Guang wasn't too worried.

He didn't even pay attention to the Bloody Hand Clan, let alone some outcasts?

In the house near the east gate of the Long Farm, he met the man whose name was "Li".

This man should be the representative or leader elected by this group of displaced people.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

After entering the house, he knelt on one knee and said, "If it weren't for you, many of us probably wouldn't have made it through tonight." ”

"Let's not kneel here, get up," Chu Guang continued, looking at the man standing up, "We can provide you with shelter, but you must have the consciousness of being under the fence and abide by our rules and customs. At the same time, you have to be clear that this is not gratuitous. ”

Off-the-beaten-top nodded.

This is a reasonable request.

No one will welcome unruly guests.

Moreover, before they became homeless, they also had a home, and they were aware that they were not welcome as "homeless".

"What do you need?"

Chu Guang: "It's very simple, work for us, we will pay you, and you can get paid to exchange it for food, fuel, or other things." ”

Before the B3 layer is unlocked, the number of players is temporarily bottlenecked, and in the absence of new additions, he needs more natives to replace the growing newcomers to engage in those low-end, low-value-added repetitive benefits.

Although he always teased the players for working harder than animals, it was impossible to keep them as animals.

Occasionally moving bricks is to experience life, and moving bricks every day is work.

Hearing what this adult said, Li's expression relaxed slightly, and even showed a hint of joy.

Originally, he expected that it would be good to have something to eat, but in other survivor settlements, the status of the exile was no more noble than that of a slave, and he had never thought about the remuneration or anything.

"Thank you for giving us a chance to live."

"The only chance we can give you is whether you can seize it or not," after a pause, Chu Guang looked at him and continued, "I heard from my subordinates that you had a survivor colony before. In other words, you are not nomads? ”

Li nodded hurriedly and said.

"Yes, sir."

Chu Guang: "Tell me what you all know." ”

"We will have a lot, including hunting, farming, weaving hemp rope, and we also have carpenters and blacksmiths...... As long as you need it, we can do it for you. ”

Looking at Li's hurried sales, Chu Guang nodded with a little satisfaction.

Hunters, carpenters, and other craftsmen were exactly what he needed, and as for blacksmiths, with a little training, they could be placed in the steel mills.

This labor force is not as good as that of his players, but it is still better than that of the nomads. It's just that relatively speaking, the physical fitness of these survivors may be slightly weaker, and they didn't bring the livestock that Chu Guang wanted.

"For the past two days, you have settled yourselves first."

"Wait two days, and I'll arrange things for you."

"By the way, your name is unlucky and confusing. You see, either add a surname to yourself, or I'll give you a name. ”

Giving a name and surname means acceptance, but also approval of conversion.

I didn't expect the lord here to be so generous, and the man was suddenly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said.

"Please give me a name!"

Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

"We call it Changchang Farm here, your surname is not suitable, just the surname Jiu, and the word is changed to the dawn of dawn."

"From today onwards, your name is Jiuli."

……

Official Website:

[Announcement: A group of homeless people have arrived at the Long Farm (prosperity +50).]

[Changchang Farm has increased the "Migration Wave" buff: The demand for food and fur has increased, and the population inflow has increased. 】

[Old Luca's troubles: We don't have much food, we can't always support them, if only we could find something for them to do.] (Note: There are many good hunters and craftsmen among the homeless people, and once you reach the "friendly" reputation level, you can start a local industry and hire them to work.) ）】

[Today's recommended recipe: salt and pepper corn, mapo tofu (it's okay if it's not spicy)]

[Rattan Hut: The rattan hut is new, and a large number of silk fabrics are waiting for you. 】

Tail: "!! New Plot! What did you do while the tail was away?!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ”

Quit smoking: "it! There's a new NPC!? Planning dad is awesome! ”

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "I guessed it right, prosperity is really linked to the number of NPCs!" It's just that this value doesn't seem to be calculated based on a fixed formula for population, but is event-driven? ”

Night Ten: "I suspect that the operator has recruited a P company to plan in, and we will wait for the immutable law of our ancestors and the comet to descend on our heads." (Funny)"

Irena: "Speaking of which, what were the results of your clawed crab hunt at Tail?" Got it? (Funny)"

Siss: "Hey, don't mention it, Ah Wei sent me away first, and he came down himself after a while." ”

Tail: "Wait, that's the tail to blame!" There's a problem with that bazooka, and it's not accurate at all! It will also breathe fire backwards! (ŎдŎ； )”

Xiao Xiaoxiao bookworm: "How can the recoilless cannon not spray ......"

Tail: "But mosquitoes are sold and don't breathe fire!" ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao laughed at the bookworm: "That's because his thing is not a recoilless cannon at all, how can there be any deep penetration?" It's a conscienceless cannon on your shoulder. ”

Mosquito: "!! This can also be related to me! ”

Raven: "Hahahaha! Ducks! Hahahaha! Cuisine! o(*≧▽≦)ツ”

Due to the heroic sacrifice of the tail and Siss, it is a reminder to everyone, this canister is not like a mosquito cannonball, and the butt must not be pointed at people when firing.

In short, the VM and equipment are picked up.

OB for three days only, not a big problem.

The arrival of the homeless has caused a lot of discussion on the official website forum, but it has not become the focus of discussion among players as before.

After all, this is not the first time that homeless people have come over, and there are so many things that happened today that they can't be discussed at all.

Makabazi, who received the seeds from the manager, exchanged tips on how to grow corn in the forum.

The No. 117 Vault quest jointly tackled by Brother Mole and Mosquito has also attracted the attention of many players, and the quest is suspected to be related to the main line of the game.

Unfortunately, there has been little progress today.

The situation below the subway entrance is very complicated.

Just as Boss Xia said, there are hundreds of nibbles inside, not to mention creepers.

A "black swan" with limited ammunition is simply not enough.

They need more automatic weapons and throwables such as Molotov cocktails and soil grenades, and the situation may be better when the automatic rifles with a unit price of 200 silver coins are officially on the shelves in two days.

Relative to the bad news that Vault 117's strategy was blocked, the good news was that the second floor of the greenhouse site had been successfully taken by the Cow Horse team.

They were able to control the gate between the 2nd basement and the 3rd basement floor, and now the space on the 2nd basement floor of the greenhouse site has also been liberated.

Incredibly, even after two centuries, the facilities there are still operating slowly in an energy-efficient mode.

Many of the glowing strips on the petri dish have been broken, but some are still bright. The temperature in the room is around twenty-five degrees, and the spirit leaves in the petri dish are growing well.

Fang Chang wrote a strategy, which can be regarded as a summary of the fighting skills of the insect heterogeneous nest.

However, compared to the strategies that are not needed for the time being, the players on the forum are obviously more concerned about how much money the Cow and Horse team has made from the second underground layer of the greenhouse ruins.

Fang Chang didn't say.

However, Chu Guang, who was peeping at the screen, knew it, after all, he personally sent them the money.

Calculated based on the difficulty of the dungeon and the benefits, they got a total of 1,200 silver coins, which were divided equally among the four people, and one person got 300 silver.

As for the cost, Chu Guang didn't calculate it for them, but it was estimated that they consumed some ammunition.

If you use a cold weapon to grind slowly, even if there is a heavy armor that can resist, it is estimated that it will have to be sharpened for a long time. And you have to hire a lot of manpower and rely on crowd tactics to pile up.

As soon as the proceeds are shared, it is not as cost-effective as consuming some ammunition.

After returning from Changjiu Farm, Chu Guang finished updating the announcement, and then sat in front of the computer in the resident hall and walked around the official website.

Many players have already begun to discuss what work to arrange for those homeless people.

Some say that they open a textile factory, and some say that they open a cement factory, anyway, there are all kinds of things. Of course, since version 0.8, there are requirements for regional prestige to set up a factory, and you need to reach a friendly (1000) or higher.

By completing the task of helping the development of the region, you can increase the prestige of the region, or directly donate the materials needed by the local area, or you can quickly improve.

Players have complained that this setting is simply copied from riding and chopping.

May the dog plan live a long life!

In addition, what caught Chu Guang's attention was that the commander of the spring water, with a new member of the perception department, found an abandoned military camp in the northern town.

The barracks was small, like a base of operations, in the playground of a community school.

In the early years of the Wasteland Era, it seems to have housed a group of refugees, but it may not have been long before they were evacuated, so it didn't develop into a survivor colony like Bate Street.

The spring walked around there and found nothing useful.

The entire school was searched, and even most of the library's bookshelves were torn down, presumably at the beginning of the Wasteland Age, and the local survivors used it as firewood.

“…… Strangely, the town seemed to be a dead city, and so was the school. There were no signs of survivor activity or marauders, only the gnawers and the smelly basements that filled the house...... We weren't equipped enough to explore the building. ”

"I'm going to set out tomorrow to look for it, maybe I'll find something."

Chu Guang was also curious about what they could find there.

Although it is estimated that it has been looted countless times in the past two centuries, according to his experience, there is always something left that has not been taken away.

Just as Chu Guang was sitting in the shelter surfing the Internet, fifteen kilometers north of Changjiu Farm, several men with rifles on their backs and wearing thick coats were carefully searching for something nearby.

"That guy shouldn't have gone far." The bearded man muttered as he tugged at the dog chain in his hand.

The hound, which he was leading, hissed and growled, sniffing carefully on the ground.

Suddenly, the hound jerked its head up and barked wildly toward the south.

The man leaned down, patted it on the head, and then stretched out his index finger and wiped it on the ground.

Underneath the snow are traces of footprints.

He got up again, looked south and narrowed his eyes.

"It's pretty fast."

-

(Sorry!) Four minutes late...... Anyway, it should be 10,000 words today? But I forgot the progress bar, embarrassing. ）
