Britz's offer was within Mamba's acceptable range, and of course, he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

Mamba shook his head: "Your conditions are a bit excessive, but seeing that you have worked so hard for our gathering place before, I am willing to give you some preferential policies." ”

"Regarding food, we don't have a lot of stock in our gathering place, which is why some of our companions go out to forage for food. That's why I can only serve you two meals a day, which is what I promised. ”

"The workload can't be reduced, as I said, everyone has to go hungry if they don't work. As compensation, I will give you five tokens a day, which you will reward for the hardest worker, and the specific criteria are determined by yourself. ”

"Clothes and boots, you can give each of you a set, but it's not free. The market price of a set of clothes and boots is now 100 tokens......"

Mamba paused and said, "We are willing to provide it to you at cost price, only sixty tokens." According to this standard, all workers must work for the gathering place for two months, free of pay, to reimburse the cost of clothing and boots. ”

Britz frowned, he was very unhappy with the result, and there were hardly any concessions on the conditions offered by the Mamba.

Neither the food, nor the workload has improved, and the clothes and boots have also been advanced for the next two months.

"Of course, in the spirit of humanitarianism, your workers can leave here at any time, and we also give each person two days of rations and two tokens for the journey," the Mamba continued. ”

"But I want to warn you that the underground world after the flood is not as calm as before, and now that there is a shortage of food, people are eating people everywhere, and you can do it yourself."

This is also the killer feature of the Mamba, although the gathering place needs the human resources of these workers, but these workers need the shelter and food supply of the settlement even more.

As long as this set of rhetoric is brought out, the Mamba is already invincible, and now the person standing in front of Britz is not a capitalist at all, but a great good man.

I took you in, gave you food, gave you clothes and shoes, and paid you wages, this is simply a great philanthropist.

Britz also knew he was at an absolute volation, but he still wanted to struggle.

"We can agree with the rest, but the daily workload is too much, and many workers are injured due to overwork."

Britz licked her lips and said, "We need to rest." ”

Mamba thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll set a limit for you, and you'll make up five hundred and fifty compression blocks a day, and you will distribute the specific workload." ”

"The salary is still the same as before, one token per person per day, and the other five tokens will be distributed by you, which is already my biggest concession, if you agree, let all your workers come over and prepare to sign the contract."

……

Watching Mamba and Britz negotiate and formulate a series of labor contracts, Tang Hao became more and more optimistic about him, the leader of the gathering place.

Regardless of the fact that a month ago Mamba was just a primitive tribal leader, now he has the cunning of a businessman, the hypocrisy of a politician, and the strategic vision of a leader.

With such a person to share his worries and solve problems, Tang Hao is much easier.

……

Ena watched Mamba hand out clothes and boots to the workers, all they had to do was sign a piece of paper and put their fingerprints on it.

"Mamba, this set of clothes and boots is worth fifty or sixty tokens, you just give them this, aren't you afraid that they will take it and run?" She didn't believe that the poor and crazy workers could be so honest.

Mamba laughed and said: "They won't run, people rarely have the courage to break the rules, as long as there is a little hope, they will honestly do what you say." ”

"Even if they know that there are other ways to achieve higher benefits, few people dare to take this risk at the cost of losing their current livelihood."

Ena didn't understand what Mamba was saying, but reported the news she had received: "The expedition has encountered a little trouble on the way back, and it may be a few days late. ”

"Let me remind you that the underground world is much more dangerous now than before, and we must be in good spirits to prevent ......"

"Enemies outside of humanity ......"

……

The expedition dragged the "mechanical octopus" back along the same road, but after turning an intersection, everyone saw that the passage in front of them was actually pitch black.

Cha Mo checked the map: "No, we came from here, and the light strip was on when we came." ”

This was the first time the expedition had encountered such a situation, and everyone had to stop at the intersection.

Catherine shivered involuntarily as she looked at the dark area of the passage.

"We can't pass through here, we have to find another way." She turned back to the crowd and said.

Lias felt that she was making a little fuss: "No, you see, there is still a light in the depths of the passage, maybe it's just a small section of the light strip that is broken." ”

Catherine resolutely objected: "No, any dark area hides immeasurable dangers, and we can't take risks!" ”

Barr thought for a moment and said, "Catherine has a lot of experience, she said no, she definitely can't, I will inform my father, we choose to take a detour." ”

He is the leader of the team, all opinions are concentrated in him, and no one else will have any objections to what he says.

Everyone clicked and pulled the flatbed trailer to find another way, and the tea powder who was walking at the back of the line suddenly moved his ears.

She turned her head warily, looking at the pitch-black area deep into the passage, from where some vague sounds were coming from.

They were whispering and murmuring, and the tea-end felt a little dazed, and the voices had some kind of magic that tried to lure her into the darkness.

Chamo didn't even realize that she had taken a step forward, but then, she felt a light shine into her mind, and the fog that had surrounded her disappeared in an instant.

She was shocked, and immediately came to her senses, and saw that she had almost walked into the dark passage, and the end of the tea was also shocked.

She hurriedly took a few steps back, and the whispering sound that had reached her ears before had disappeared.

"It was the Lord who saved me......" Cha Mo said silently, she looked into the darkness again, and ran after the army with trepidation.

And just behind her, the darkness seemed to come to life.

The darkness slowly moved as if it had substance, and "it" flowed out of the passage and began to move in the other direction.

Everywhere "it" passed, the light seemed to be completely swallowed up, and everything became pitch black.

And where "it" left, the dim band of light lit up again, and it didn't take long for the passage, which had been pitch black just a moment ago, to regain its light.

And the darkness had disappeared at the other end of the passage, and I didn't know where it was going.
