[Full server announcement: The value of the LD-47 rifle has been adjusted, and now it has been logged in to the outpost weapon store shelf, players who won the lottery before should find Boss Xia to receive equipment. The LD-47S semi-automatic precision shooter will be available tomorrow, so stay tuned. 】

I've heard that there's a new weapon in the weapons shop.

Players near the outpost rushed in, but most of them dispersed after a while.

The weapon itself is not expensive, 200 silver coins are only twice as expensive as an iron tube rifle, but the bullets are too expensive.

1 silver coin, 30 rounds of ammunition costs 30 silver, newcomers who have just entered the game can't afford it.

Moreover, the sickle assault rifle is different from the iron tube rifle, the latter's receiver structure is extremely simple, theoretically as long as the caliber matches, whether it is a rolled bullet or a stamped bullet, smokeless gunpowder is not enough, and even black powder can be used.

Looking at the shelves of the store, the little newcomers sighed.

"Gan! It's also too expensive! ”

"Hey, let's upgrade quickly."

"Indeed, only when the level is high can you take on tasks with high rewards, this kind of automatic weapon is too difficult to raise in the early stage!"

Chu Guang didn't stay at the outpost all the time, and around two o'clock in the afternoon, he took a truck to the side of Changjiu Farm.

By the time he arrived at the farm, many of the young players had already returned from Elm with their prey, and were handing in their quest at Old Luca.

Recently, there has been a shortage of food on the farm, and the rewards of hunting missions are very high.

The basic income of the hyena has risen from 5 silver coins to 8 silver coins, and the snow wolf, whose fur is more valuable, has risen from 10 silver to 15 silver, which is higher than the reindeer that passed by the northern suburbs of Qingquan City some time ago!

In addition to this, there is also regional prestige to take.

Many life professional players who are in a hurry to set up a factory and are not too short of money even squatted directly at the intersection of Yumu District, bought prey from hunter players at a high price, and then took them to the warehouse to hand over the task, which is equivalent to spending money to buy prestige and contributions.

It is ten kilometers from Elm District to Changchang Farm, and those hunter players can also save time going back and forth and focus more on hunting.

As long as the price is right, what about a little less contribution or regional prestige?

Most combat pro players don't need regional prestige either, so it's enough to farm contribution points.

As of twelve o'clock in the afternoon, fifteen mutated snow wolves and twenty-one mutant hyenas had been hung on the wooden shelves at the entrance of the warehouse.

The former has an average of more than 40 kilograms, and the latter is basically about 30 kilograms, and the meat extraction rate is almost 40%, adding up to nearly 500 kilograms of raw meat.

At this rate, I'm afraid that in less than two days, the prey in the Elm District will have to be swept away by these players.

Luca, at the door of the warehouse, is busy at the moment.

When he saw the manager coming, he immediately greeted him and said.

"My lord, we need to hire two butchers to handle these prey!"

"The release is the release, but ...... No one has applied," Lukka said with an embarrassed expression, "I've raised my hourly rate from 1 silver to 2 silver, but not many people are interested. ”

There is a benchmark value for each task and position, for example, the butcher is paid 1 silver per hour, and then a game is slaughtered and the money is calculated according to the commission. When NPCs publish tasks, they will set task rewards based on this benchmark value, and can be adjusted according to the urgency of demand. The old Luka's authority is to be able to double the benchmark value.

However, even so, no one came to apply......

As soon as Chu Guang heard this, he immediately understood what the problem was.

Alpha 0.8 players are mostly in the Novice Village, which is the outpost.

The hourly salary of 1 silver coin plus contribution points is still quite considerable for newcomer players below lv5, but it is a bit less for veteran players who have just experienced a wave of expansions.

Especially slaughtering requires thresholds, not everyone can be like the scrambled egg brother, the knife technique can be used freely, and three times five divided by two to shave clean.

"It's okay, no player wants to do this work, we can find the outcasts. I'm going to go to the camp for the homeless in a moment, so you can come with me. ”

Although he had some suspicion of those homeless people, Lukka didn't say anything anymore when he heard the manager say this, and nodded respectfully.

"Yes, sir."

Just when Chu Guang took Old Luca and two guards and went in the direction of the east gate, the situation in the camp was not optimistic at the moment.

Looking at the old man curled up in the shack, with a sickly face and coughing from time to time, Jiu Li's face was full of solemnity.

This is the fourth he has seen today.

Even if he is not a doctor, he can see that the old man's condition is not very optimistic.

"They are sick, most likely typhoid fever," the thin man standing next to Jiu Li reminded, "and it will be troublesome if it is not dealt with as soon as possible." ”

His name is Jiu Xun, and he is Jiu Li's younger brother and his helper.

Before, he was actually called Xun, but his brother was given a surname by the lord here, and he also changed his name, which can be regarded as a conversion to the local culture.

Jiuli fell silent and said after a while.

"You can't drive them out of here."

"We don't have a choice. We don't have medicine, we don't have doctors, they can't resist at all, and they are dead. Jiu Xun tried to persuade, "Half of us are dead before we get here!" Is it just for a few old men in the coffin with half a foot—"

"Who the hell did you say was in the coffin?"

A furious voice came from the side.

I saw a burly man come out of the crowd, grabbed Jiuxun's collar, and glared at him and questioned.

"What do you want to do to Lao Tzu's father? I'm right here, and I'm going to see who dares to take him away from here!" ”

His name was Sun Cheng, and he was a butcher from a small village of 100 people in the central part of the river valley province.

Due to the raids of the marauders, he had to follow his compatriots from his homeland, abandon his burned home, and brave the cold winter to migrate south, looking for a chance to survive.

Like many people here, they joined the team halfway. And in order to get here, they, like these people, paid a lot of casualties.

For the sake of the bowl of hot porridge last night, he handed over the gun in his hand under the persuasion of Jiu Li.

Sun Cheng originally thought it was all worth it.

However, just now, when he was outside to collect firewood, he heard that there was a circle of people in front of his house.

Guessing that something bad was happening, Sun Cheng didn't say a word, and immediately threw down the work in his hand and rushed over.

Coincidentally, as soon as he arrived here, he heard what Jiu Xun said, and he was immediately angry, eager to tear the person in front of him.

Jiuxun was silent, looking at him expressionlessly, letting him carry it, but his right hand had already touched the dagger in his pocket.

Seeing that he had a hand, several people immediately stood up in the crowd.

Some people stood behind Jiu Xun, and some people stood behind Sun Cheng, and the two groups of people glared at each other.

The atmosphere was tense!

Obviously, Jiuxun has more helpers here, and almost all of them are around.

Knowing that if there was a conflict, it would definitely be a loss on his side, Sun Cheng let go of his hand that grabbed Jiuxun's collar and squinted at Jiuli next to him.

"I can see that you plan to unload the mill and kill the donkey."

Jiu Li stared at him.

"I never said that."

"Never said that?" Sun Cheng smiled coldly, "I know in my heart what you just said, and the people next to you have heard it, do you need me to repeat it?" ”

Jiuli looked at him calmly and said.

"I apologize for my brother's thoughtless remarks, I never said I was going to give up on anyone, and I had no intention of doing so. Now that someone is sick, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, we must separate the sick from the healthy. We're here because of unity, aren't we? ”

"Solidarity? While Lao Tzu is away, throwing Lao Tzu's father out is called unity? You forgot who covered you when you crossed the snow! I can see clearly, you can only see yourself in your eyes! Sun Cheng raised his chin and stared at him, "My words are here, my father will not go anywhere, I will take care of him personally." If you want to take him away, step over my corpse. ”

The atmosphere was at a stalemate.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, a hesitant voice suddenly interjected from the side.

"Your father is infected by frostbite, if it is treated in time, it can be saved, and I am afraid that it will be amputated later."

Jiuli and Sun Cheng looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a young man in his early twenties standing out of the crowd.

He was not tall, his body was not strong, and his slightly curly hair stuck to his forehead, which looked quite vicissitudes.

Jiu Li didn't have a deep impression of him, thinking that he should have joined their team halfway.

"You know how to heal?"

The young man nodded.

"Understand, though I'll be the main thing...... Well, you can understand it as a surgical operation. ”

Sun Cheng grabbed his shoulder and said excitedly.

"Can you heal my father?"

"Yes." The young man swallowed and nodded slowly, "But I need you to prepare something for me...... Then, I had to deal with his inflamed wound first. Can you move him to me? There are no conditions for surgery here. ”

Jiu Li glanced at his brother and gave him a look.

"I've got a stretcher there, you can get it."

Jiu Xun looked reluctant, but his brother's words, he still turned around and left.

The atmosphere at the scene eased a little.

Seeing that his father was saved, Sun Cheng, who had planned to do it before, also calmed down at this time.

After the group was busy, they carried the old man to the place where the young man lived, and when he put the stretcher down, Jiuli looked at the young man and asked.

"What's your name?"

"Yin Fang."

"I don't have any impression of you, when did you join the team?"

"It's been a while, probably in the middle of the River Valley Province, and the snow hasn't been so heavy at that time." Looking at the frozen and inflamed wound on the old man's leg, Yin Fang slurred his tongue, "It's really fateful to be able to survive until now...... Can you guys go out for a bit? I needed a quiet environment. ”

Jiuli nodded and walked out of the shack with his younger brother.

Although Sun Cheng couldn't let go of his father, he still followed the doctor's instructions and went out of the shack.

Although there was no more tension, the atmosphere between the two was still not very harmonious.

Jiuli was about to mediate, but at this time, an acquaintance from the same township came over.

"The manager is looking for you at the door, as if he has something to tell you."

Hearing that the lord here was looking for him, Jiu Li immediately nodded.

"I'll go over here."

……

The entrance to the camp of the homeless camp.

Jiuli saw the lord here again.

Like yesterday, he was dressed in a blue exoskeleton, carrying a war hammer and a rifle with a ridiculously long barrel on his back, and his body was extraordinary.

Jiuli readjusted his evaluation of him.

Perhaps not a charge at all, or even the men behind him, he alone would have been enough to send them all away.

At least for himself, he has no chance of winning against him.

It's great that there was no misunderstanding last night.

"How's your rest?"

"Thanks to you, my lord," Jiuli said respectfully, bowing slightly, "We have housed everyone and made sure that everyone has a place to live. No one froze to death, no one starved to death, and even the most noisy children slept soundly...... Last night was probably the most peaceful night we've had in all this time. ”

That's a nice thing to listen to.

Chu Guang can be regarded as having a little experience of the fun of those people on the Pioneer.

Smiling faintly, Chu Guang didn't say much, and glanced around.

"I'm glad you can get used to it. But...... There's something weird about the atmosphere here. ”

Jiuli smiled bitterly and said, "There was some conflict just now...... You know, we didn't all come from the same survivor colony, and many of us joined our team halfway. There are too many people, there will inevitably be friction, please believe me, I can handle it well. ”

Chu Guang nodded.

He didn't want to worry about the homeless, and it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him.

As long as they abide by the laws they have set and do not turn into bloodshed.

Didn't worry about it anymore, Chu Guang looked at Jiuli and said.

"I need two butchers, and I have a freshly hunted prey, do any of you here know how to slaughter?"

Jiu Li immediately nodded: "Yes, my lord, we happen to have a butcher here, if you need it, I will take you to him." ”

"Well, you lead the way."

Chu Guang followed behind Jiu Li, and it didn't take long for him to come to a shack.

A burly man stood at the door of the shack, and when he saw Chu Guang coming with Jiu Li, a trace of fear instinctively appeared in his eyes, thinking that he was here to trouble him.

However, what he didn't expect was that Jiuli, who had clashed with him before, didn't mention what happened just now, as if nothing had happened, and introduced himself to the manager next to him in a pertinent tone.

“…… This is the butcher I told you, his name is Sun Cheng, and he comes from the central part of the River Valley Province. His father's leg was frostbitten and he was being treated in a shed, and if you could provide him with a room, I am sure he would be happy to serve you. ”

Chu Guang's expression was slightly surprised.

"You still have a doctor?"

Sun Cheng hesitated and said.

"The man who treated his father's frostbite was called Yin Fang, and we met him halfway through. I'm not sure if he's a doctor or not, but he's the only one here, so we'll have to leave it to him. ”

Chu Guang didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

It's kind of interesting.

Let's talk to him in a moment.

Putting aside the doctor's affairs for the time being, Chu Guang looked at the man named Sun Cheng in front of him.

"I have a job here and need a butcher to help us slaughter the prey. I'll pay you two silver coins a day, and a place to live, are you interested in this job? ”

Sun Cheng was slightly stunned, and hurriedly nodded happily.

"I'm here for you, sir."

Chu Guang nodded and looked at Luca on the side.

"I'll leave it to you."

……

At the same time, the northern part of the farm is about a kilometer away.

Several men with guns on their backs were crouching next to a low, half-collapsed building, holding binoculars in their hands, looking out at the survivors' stronghold to the south.

The group of displaced people they were following had set up camp on the east side of the survivors' stronghold. The situation is bad, and it would have been easier to deal with if it was just for a while, but now it's not just the homeless, but the survivors who take them in.

It's a bit of a no-brainer.

"I saw the fence and the sentry...... Damn, there are quite a few people there with weapons. ”

"Show me."

Taking the binoculars from his companion's hand, the bearded man looked at the survivor stronghold with half his eyes closed.

After observing for a while, his expression gradually became solemn.

"The wall is at least three meters high, and the soldiers standing guard carry guns of uniform style behind their backs...... This gang is not easy to deal with. ”

His name is Eugene, and he is a mercenary who occasionally does some bounty hunter work.

Like now.

"What should I do?"

Hearing his companion's inquiry, Eugene thought for a moment and said.

"Let's talk to them first. After all, we only have one person to target, and if we can avoid conflict, it is naturally the best. ”

Several others nodded in agreement.

What they didn't know, however, was that while they were sneakily staring at the Long Farm, several players were already staring at them not far away.

Edge paddling: "What are those people doing?" ”

Construction site boy with bricks: "I don't know. ”

Debt-ridden eyes: "Wanderers? That's not right, didn't we confiscate their guns last night? ”

Edge paddling: "emmm...... Maybe not in a gang? ”

Not a gang?

Other words......

Is it weird?

The three little players glanced at each other, the smiles on their faces gradually became ill-willed, and then looked at the people, as if they saw walking silver coins and contribution points.

Somehow, Eugene suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

At this moment, the hound, led by a mercenary next to him, suddenly barked in one direction.

The mercenary jerked his head back and turned his gun to that point.

"Who's there!"

Hearing that loud shout, the three little players hurriedly hid behind the bunker.

Almost at the same time, however, a shuttle of bullets swept down the dirt slope in front of them.

"Gan! Do you just do it without saying hello? ”

"Marauders! Predators for sure! ”

“mmp！ Who cares about it, they do it first, fuck him! ”
