Chapter 31: The Gold Diggers and the Treasure
Chapter 206: Gold Diggers and Treasures
The Salvation Society, a mysterious organization that has only emerged in the wasteland in the last ten years, has an unknown origin and an unknown founder, and although it has been established for a short time, it has expanded extremely rapidly.
This is due to the fact that the Salvation Society has strict control over the personnel within the organization, and outsiders cannot enter it at all, and secondly, because of the nature of the Salvation Society, the purpose of the organization, as its name suggests, is to save the world.
Legend has it that the people of the Salvation Society will not only save the survivor bases and villages from the turbid monsters, but also generously give a lot of resources to share, and the corresponding reward seems to only need some. Knowledge.
Knowledge is worthless in the wasteland, but resources are the most valuable wealth, and if resources are exchanged for knowledge, I am afraid that there is only one salvation society.
The Salvation Society's explanation for this is that the purpose of their knowledge gathering is to one day gather the wisdom of living beings and find a way to fight against turbidity.
Although the survivors in the wasteland did not believe in this, no one disliked the fact that they could exchange cheap knowledge for resources, so many other organizations and survivors were very welcoming to the Salvation Society.
Like now.
"Hey! Feed! Over here! This way! The scavengers were shouting at the Salvation Society, many waving their arms.
The attention of the Salvation Society was successfully attracted, and the ten-person convoy immediately stopped, and one of the team members at the head of the front scanned the other party with an information processing device similar to a telescope, and immediately reported backwards:
"Captain, the identity has been confirmed, it is a scavenger thug belonging to the "Gorilla Hammer", but the "Monkey Hammer" himself has not been seen, no other biological signals have been detected within five kilometers, it is suspected that he is a lost person after being attacked by monsters, please indicate the next step."
In the ten-person convoy, a middle-aged man in the middle, after examining the embarrassed appearance of the group of thugs, nodded and led:
"Stay alert and stay close to contact."
"Roger!"
The convoy immediately turned in the right direction and headed towards the thugs, who breathed a sigh of relief, for they had taken nothing with them to escape, and were now dying of starvation and thirst.
"Everyone is not allowed to move, raise your hands, throw your weapons on the ground, and repeat, once we find an offensive behavior, we will immediately counterattack, so in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, please cooperate."
The Salvation Society usually works in groups of ten, and each of them is very good at fighting, with three people holding guns and shouting, two people guarding the surrounding area, and four people hurrying forward to disarm all the weapons of the rioters.
The thugs did not resist this, and did so honestly, and the whole process did not even take a minute, and after confirming that the thugs were not threatening, the Salvation Society people put down half of the robbery, relieving the tension.
This is understandable, after all, in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, vigilance is always the least too much.
"Okay, don't make it hard, we don't have any combat strength at all now, we don't have the strength to do anything, it's better to be quick, hurry up and give us a week's food and water!" Lao Tzu is dying of hunger! ”
Some of the thugs were already shouting, and when the captain heard this, he frowned and shook his head: "This is impossible, we are the Salvation Society and not the Charity Society." ”
"Hmph, I know, so we'll exchange information, don't you guys like this the most?"
Intelligence is also a kind of knowledge, as soon as he heard the thug say this, the captain's face did not change, but in fact, he was a little more energetic in his heart, and he quickly asked:
"Yes, but the specific share of resources will be determined after evaluation based on the value of your intelligence."
"Don't worry, our information, the exchange of food for a week has been lost, come, you listen, just walk from here, another thirty or forty kilometers or so, you can see a gathering village."
One of the rioters said as he pointed to the direction of Kano Village, where Liao Ji was before.
"In that village, there was a man in possession of a powerful weapon that we had never seen before, which could change form at will, and which I believe you would be absolutely interested in. No, no, no, it's even a disaster-level turbidity weapon! ”
As soon as they heard the words of the rioters, the faces of the people of the Salvation Society changed slightly, especially when the "disaster-level" turbidity weapon was used, and the faces of many team members showed excitement.
Or the captain was more calm, and immediately asked, "How can we believe you?" ”
"Believe it or not, don't you see that Lao Tzu is like this, if it weren't for that stinky*-little white face hit the big luck with that weapon, how could our boss die on that kind of person!"
"Your boss is dead?" The captain looked surprised.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, how would we still have your turn to ask for your help! ”
There is a reason why the thugs are so manic, firstly, because they are already wild, and secondly, because the image of the Salvation Society has always been, that is, good people, so they will be unscrupulous and unceremonious.
The captain didn't really care about the tone of the thug, but quickly left for a moment to discuss with the rest of the team.
"Captain, it's done! Let's send it! If you report this information to the headquarters, you can at least get this digit bonus from Director William! ”
One of the team members excitedly stretched out his palm, while the other team member added: "We can also apply for administrative leave from the company, and we won't have to come to the "Dream Zero" again for at least a week!" ”
"Or. Let's not report it yet, and when we get to that Kano village, we can grab that servant weapon."
Another member of the team was very greedy and suggested that if they reported now, other teams would also be assigned, and if they found weapons at that time, their credit would be much less.
After collecting the opinions of the players, it was the captain who finally made the decision, and after thinking about it, he finally adopted a compromise plan.
"Now the situation is still uncertain, we will not report to the company for the time being, and then let the group of waste pickers lead the way, and when we really arrive in Kano Village, we will respond on the spot, conduct a strength assessment, if the other party's rating is above C, we will take a gentle contact, if it is below."
The captain didn't say anything later, but the players knew it.
If it is really like what the scavengers said, they can change the form of an unprecedented machine servant weapon, they can get such a weapon, analyze its structural data and upload it to Kyle Technology, everyone's employee level can be upgraded several levels, and it is even possible to jump to the management level, and no longer have to be an explorer who licks blood on the tip of the knife like now.
After the decision is made, the Salvation Society. Now it should be said that it was Kyle Tech's explorer team that immediately took action, and after they brought some of the thugs as the guide, the convoy restarted and galloped away in the direction of Kano Village.
It must have taken about four hours for the Explorer team to finally catch sight of the shadow of Kano Village, and the reason why it was so slow was because they had encountered a lot of turbid monsters along the way.
These turbid monsters are strange, each time in small strands, far more frequent and dense than normal wastelands should be.
Fortunately, Kyle Tech has mastered the "branding" technology of the old world, so that their weapons are also updated, and they are all brand-new branded weapons, so that they can smoothly avoid and kill the turbid monsters that stand in the way every time without danger.
The sudden increase in the number of monsters in the wilderness, and the fact that they all seem to be moving in one direction, is theoretically an anomaly and needs to be reported.
But now everyone in the exploration team is concerned about the new weapon in Kano Village, and even the captain who has always been steady has ignored this and just moved on.
After all, they were all gold diggers sent by the company to the "Old World", and no one could resist such a temptation in the face of glittering gold.
Driving through the breached gate of Kano Village, the captain could roughly guess what was going on through the large hole that had been blasted out of the gate.
I am afraid that this group of thugs attacked the village of Kano, but was beaten away by the youth inside.
Unlike the thugs, the captain did not hide it, but let the exploration team's convoy drive in in the open.
Because under the strategy of Kyle Technology, the image of the "Salvation Society" created by the company has a good prestige and prestige in the dream of Zero, and most villages and gathering places will not be hostile to them at least.
But as he drove more and more into the village, the captain's brow furrowed more and more.
Because
What about people?
Where have all the people here gone?
Their convoy drove into the largest square in the village, but during the whole process, they never saw a single shadow of a villager, and even after moving out of the exploration equipment, there was no biological signal within five kilometers of the surrounding area.
Could it be. The people of the village fled for fear that the mob would come back and take revenge?
The captain immediately thought of this possibility, and was a little depressed at first, but quickly cheered up again.
Although they pounced, this also showed another point, the young man with a special weapon was probably not as powerful as the thugs said, and it was likely that he was over-boasting in order to exaggerate the value of intelligence.
After all, if the other party really has the strength, how can they abandon the village?
You know, building a village in the wasteland can be very costly.
Until the last resort, he was forced into a desperate situation, otherwise he would never abandon the village and flee.
The weak target is good news for them, at least they are safe, and after that, they can spend a little more time looking for clues from the village, and then continue to track the youth according to the clues.
The captain had just finished thinking on this side, but on the other side, there was a sudden sound of excitement and trembling.
"Captain! Fast! Come over here!! ”
I saw an explorer team member running out of a certain cellar, and the whole person was about to jump up from the ground and wave excitedly, obviously finding something valuable.
The rest of the exploration team immediately rushed over and followed down to the cellar, where the grandson of the previous village chief told Liao Ji the three stories and the corresponding murals.
"Captain. Origin of the World! On these murals, there is actually information about the origin of Dream Zero! ”
