Chapter 175: Chen Ye's Cooking Skills Exposed (1st Update)
The wind is getting sharper and the rain is getting heavier.
The whole world is becoming more and more blurry under the curtain of bloody rainstorms, and it is difficult to see the road ahead.
With the [Wanderer Map] in his mind, Chen Ye crossed several streets and followed the shortest path, and soon arrived at the neighborhood near the Lieyang Church.
He glanced at the square from a distance, and through the thick rain and mist, he could see that it was almost crowded with figures, as if they were piled up like mountains.
The refugees who took refuge went to the square like crazy, and in some places they couldn't squeeze in, so they climbed directly to the top.
The bottom part of the homeless people was crushed by the mountain, and I don't know if they were crushed to death.
This sanctuary ...... It doesn't look like hell anymore.
Chen Ye originally wanted to cross the square and reach the other side of the block, but now that he saw this mountain of people, he immediately dispelled the thoughts in his mind and made a detour.
From the old road on the other side of the square, enter the intricate neighborhood of this intersection.
In the buildings on both sides, there are many players hiding in abandoned houses to avoid the rain.
You can also see some traces of the aboriginal people being killed.
If it is an aboriginal house, it is common to have a title deed, and there are rules.
But if you can find an opportunity to lay a trap to kill the owner of the house when he goes out, then it can be regarded as a raid on the house.
At this time, it is very convenient if you have a "taunt" type skill.
Chen Ye thought about it carefully, when he first became a [Wanderer], unlocking the [Poor Gaze] seemed to be able to have an effect at such a time.
Of course...... He now uses suona to make a sharp sound, which can also have a similar effect on the aborigines. Moreover, because the timbre of the suona is more rogue and the sound is very penetrating, it does not need to enter the house, and it can launch a taunt from a long distance.
If it is a low-ranking aborigine, the probability of being affected by the characteristics will be greater, and this method can be used to identify which aborigines are easier to deal with.
At that time, even ordinary players, in the case of teaming up, will be able to deal with the low-level aborigines very well, snatch real estate from them, and thus obtain a place to live.
Of course......
A large part of this Mink Street area is almost entirely occupied by the thugs.
Most of the middle-class aborigines seemed to have warned of danger here at an early age, and like the Lin family, they chose to move far away, leaving behind abandoned old buildings.
Most of the players who are in distress will be able to hide in these houses.
And...... A small number of the more powerful aborigines will still stay in this part of the area.
Some of the players who died went to attack these areas, but as long as they entered, they never came out.
Mink Street is close to industrial land, and although there are residential buildings nearby, most of them are very retro-style old buildings, almost all of which are deserted.
When Chen Ye came here, he swept it away and found that in these old buildings, there were sporadic figures of players entering together, and they were also victims.
Hear Chen Ye's footsteps......
These players also secretly hid near the window, watching Chen Ye walking through the rain from a distance.
However, Chen Ye quickened his pace and activated the ability of [Wanderer's Boots], quickly leaving behind the house behind him.
The players at the window looked at each other, glad they didn't make a rash move.
At this pace...... This trick passing by is definitely not a good kind!
Players who can get along with Mink Street know what tricks they can mess with and what they can't.
Looking at Chen Ye's walking posture, they did not hesitate to put each other into the category of "must not be provoked".
…………
Suspended in the pitch-black consciousness space, the round open space in front of the [Wanderer Map] is getting closer and closer.
Chen Ye looked up and found that directly above the large industrial land, in mid-air, a huge arc of water bubbles shrouded the open-air dome.
The blood-colored rain hit the arc of blisters and slid down to the side.
It was the property bought by the "Manufacturing Association", which was used as industrial land to support thousands of workers, and was one of the most famous forces in this part of Mink Street.
Even all the thugs combined did not dare to act against the "manufacturing association" at will.
When Chen Ye came to the door, Matthew had already been waiting for a long time.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Matthew looked towards the side of the road, only to see a figure shrouded in a blood-colored rain curtain that looked very conspicuous in height under his robe, and he crossed several meters in one step and arrived here.
"I thought you'd be carrying an umbrella, but I didn't expect to be wearing a raincoat."
Matthew looked at Chen Ye, who was walking freely in the rainstorm, and sighed in his heart that he deserved to be the number one, and he could even ignore the bloody rainstorm.
If it's an ordinary player, then you don't dare to go out at all.
Although there are a few drops on the body, nothing will happen, but with such a heavy rain, who can guarantee that the rain that comes to the face will not enter the esophagus with mouth and nose breathing, thus triggering infection.
No player has dared to try this yet, so it is unknown what the chance of death is and the specific amount of infection.
"Luckily, this outfit is kind of useful." When Chen Ye heard the description of "raincoat", he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the ink-colored court robe does have the effect of a raincoat, and I thought it was just an ability similar to the decoration, but I didn't expect it to play a big role in this rainstorm.
Walking side by side with Matthew, he walked through the door.
Beneath the huge arc of blisters, the surface of the huge ship was already covered with trees that had been cut down from the plantation that day.
From a distance, it looks like a whole giant ship, composed of countless pale arms, with a dead skin-like texture on the surface.
One by one, [craftsmen] are surrounding the giant ship, and they are constantly rushing to work.
As far as the eye can see, the giant ship is surrounded by human figures, and almost the entire "manufacturing association" is mobilized to speed up and complete the construction of the giant ship.
"It's going to take another day or so."
At this moment, a rough voice came from not far away, Tang Wu moved his burly and broad body, and strode over, but his expression looked much more serious than before.
"I've asked the workers to speed up and try to keep the deadline as possible."
"It's okay...... Thanks to the help of those friends of the Poseidon Clan, they were able to create this water curtain to isolate the rainstorm, otherwise, the project would be affected. ”
"For that reason, they haven't eaten for almost a day."
Chen Ye's heart moved, and said: "In this situation, how to solve the wages of the workers? ”
Mainly food and water.
After all, overtime like this should be paid.
But now, under the influence of the bloody rainstorm, there is a large-scale crisis in the operation of the entire City of Destiny, and when water and food are in question, how to pay wages?
Tang Wu smiled and said, "Our manufacturing association still has some strength, and we have left a water purifier before, and these polluted rainwater, after collecting and filtering, it is not a problem to drink." ”
"Of course...... This machine was left by my father, and I searched through the inventory of the entire manufacturing association, but I couldn't find the relevant manufacturing drawings. ”
"In addition, the Poseidon Clan can use the power of the Poseidon to lower normal water sources by sacrificing with copper coins, bones, or some ancient items."
"But now...... The sky is full of blood-colored clouds, and there is no way to obtain water by means of rain. ”
"And when the water purifier purifies this rainwater, it will obviously feel a lot of load on the machine......
"We usually pay workers enough water as wages, but food is still a problem."
When Tang Wu said this, his tone involuntarily revealed a little worry.
After all, workers feel noticeably less powerful when they are not eating.
Although it is said to be a day...... But judging from the overall progress, I am afraid that the entire construction period will be completely completed, not as quickly as imagined.
"And what about your food sources?" Chen Ye asked curiously.
"Originally, I bought it from players through the [Weird Black Market]." Tang Wu smiled bitterly, "But after this bloody rainstorm fell, the price of food rose again, and the few chefs who were originally there seemed to be affected by the torrential rain now, and there was less business, resulting in a shortage of food sources in the black market, and we could only rely on the grain from the previous tun to barely support for a while." ”
"It's just ......"
"The part of the rations in Tun is about the same now, so I can only finish the construction period quickly and rely on your strength to solve this crisis."
Chen Ye glanced at Matthew, and from this sentence, it can be judged that Matthew should have revealed the true goal of the ghost ship to Tang Wu, so he did not hesitate to use all the workers to complete it completely despite the heavy rain.
"By the way, your warehouse here is so big, don't you have the stock of ingredients left over from before?" Chen Ye suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Yes." Tang Wu nodded, "There is still a lot of meat in the ice cave, but it seems to be affected by some pollution, and these meats have caused many workers to eat them, and no players are willing to buy them when they are put on the [Weird Black Market], so they have been piled up there to eat ashes." ”
Chen Ye's eyes lit up and said, "Take me to the ice cave, I can handle these ingredients." ”
Tang Wu glanced at Chen Ye in surprise, then realized something, and immediately led the way ahead.
Not far from the factory, a low shed was built, which was full of parts and all kinds of supplies that could not be said to be known or used.
Going deeper, there is a large ice cave, which was originally used to store ingredients, and a chef or two was hired to use the frozen meat to make a cheap and good-tasting workers' meal.
But since the pollution incident, the frozen meat in the ice cave has not been used, and all of it is piled up here.
When he opened the ice cave, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is full of frozen meat, enough to sustain the workers for several days.
"You wait for me."
Chen Ye stepped forward and took out the frozen meat.
Next Second......
His face burst open and he began to process the ingredients.
Tang Wu was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted to something, turned his head to look at Matthew, and said with a meaningful smile:
"You guy...... He didn't seem to have told me his real name. ”
"Really?"
Matthew raised an eyebrow and looked at it as if nothing had happened.
