Chapter 39: Drying in the Wasteland
"You said that this watermelon needs 150 bottle caps in Yuma Prefecture?
Inside the cafeteria.
Gao Jun was chewing a watermelon in his mouth, and there were seeds on his face, looking at Hannah sitting opposite him with innocent and stupid eyes.
The other man nodded.
"And this is only the external price, as far as I know, because of the serious shortage of production, it is impossible for this watermelon to circulate at the bottom, only the status of a nobleman can buy it, and it should be no less than 300 bottle caps."
The external price is actually a kind of "rumor", which is spread by many braggartians to show that they can get in touch with the lives of the "aristocracy".
Ordinary people are not qualified to buy it at all.
Gao Jun glanced at the system.
Watermelons only need 2 energy points, and they are all very full!
"The best soil in Pinglu Autonomous Prefecture is in Changshu Farm, and they have also tried to cultivate watermelons, but they have not succeeded, they feel that this land is not suitable for growing watermelons, and even the land in Yuma Prefecture is transported from Yanmen Mansion next door."
"Boss, where did we get this watermelon?" Hannah asked curiously.
Gao Jun casually said a few perfunctory sentences, just said that the organization behind it provided it, and then asked, "Then if this watermelon is pulled to Yumazhou, won't the market be very big?" ”
Profiteers have found a bug!
Both of his eyes were glowing.
"Are you going to sell watermelons in Yumazhou?" Hannah asked in surprise, then frowned, and said directly, "Business alliances won't allow it."
“? Why? ”
"If they buy goods from Yanmen Mansion and sell them to local nobles, their benefits will be hundreds of times, but if we go and occupy the market, the commoners can also eat watermelons, which will cause them dissatisfaction."
Hannah replied meaningfully, "The aristocracy doesn't want the people of the lower class to eat the same kind of food as them." ”
Now Gao Jun understood.
If there is no way to have the ability to reshuffle the table, then you can only keep a low profile, even if the solidification of the class occasionally shows its mouth, and those who want to climb up cannot be the bottom people, but someone has just fallen.
"How is the armed forces of Yumazhou?" Gao Jun suddenly asked, which made Hannah stunned, but then as if he had seen a ghost, he said in an anxious tone, "Führer, you don't want to have any other bad thoughts. ”
Gao Jun laughed, "I'm just just curious. ”
"Don't worry, I don't have the word retarded written on my head."
Hannah looked at him suspiciously, she had seen so many daring dog thieves as she went, and their eyes were exactly the same as those of the Führer at that time.
"Yuma Prefecture has two teams, the urban militia and the garrison, the former is mainly responsible for internal patrols, business alliance security and guarding the gate, and the garrison is the real elite."
Hannah's face grimaced, "There are about 110 of them, all of them are equipped with [unmanned] firing rifles, and some of the new rifles imported from [High-Speed Rail Town], the bullets are not coming in from the front, but from the back, and the shape is similar to our Vault Führer rifle. ”
Rear loading guns!
Gao Jun knew it when he heard her description.
He frowned slightly, if it was a rear-loading gun, it meant that the other party's military power was more fierce than imagined.
"But the price of a rear-loading gun is more expensive, I've seen it in the store [in High-Speed Rail Town] before, and the price of a gun is about 2,000 coins."
That's 6,000 caps.
The price is a bit high.
"In addition to these, I don't know if there is a secret weapon in Yuma Prefecture, but I think there should be, my intuition told me." Hannah pointed to her head, for fear that Gao Jun would still have bad thoughts, and said again, "We have no way to fight them at the moment. ”
"I'm the one who hates war the most!"
Gao Jun is talking nonsense seriously, isn't it just that he can't beat it, you see that if he can beat it, he will copy the guy now.
He reminded himself in his heart that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
"It's on fire! It's on fire! ”
Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded at the door, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was a dumb person, and his face was very nervous at this time.
"What's wrong?" Gao Jun stood up and asked.
"Führer, it's on fire, it's on fire outside." Dumb saw him as if he had seen the backbone.
A group of people ran out of the cafeteria, the scorching air seemed to have roasted and distorted the space, and the heat like a fire burned the hair on Gao Jun's face.
This......
Why is the temperature rising so fast?
Gao Jun's eyes widened, full of disbelief, and in the distance, I don't know how many distances, clusters of dark clouds rose like covering the sky, and the fire was displayed in a scene visible to the naked eye.
It's far away, but it's close.
"What's that?"
Hannah: "Askong Forest!" ”
"In the vicinity of Yanmen Mansion and Yuma Prefecture, it is said that before the wasteland was a city called Ningbo, but then it slowly turned into a primeval forest, where xenos, mutants, and even cult members like to hide."
She is the first person in the [Tinder] shelter to broaden her horizons, she knows a lot about nature, and her expression is ugly, "Every year because of the explosion, it will spontaneously combust, which also means that the xenotide in the jungle is about to break out!" ”
"The only thing to be thankful for is that we are still far away, and there is Yuma Prefecture in our way, but it is not ruled out that they will force us to support when necessary."
"And this kind of thing? Support? ”
"This kind of thing rarely happens, but generally in the face of a large heterogeneous tide, Yuma Prefecture will ask all the strongholds and shelters in Pinglu Autonomous Prefecture to send armed forces to defend the city."
"And what about our own stronghold?" Bell asked.
"They only care about Yuma Prefecture, other places..."Hannah glanced at him, not finished, but just half a sentence was enough to make people understand.
Gao Jun's eyelids trembled when he heard this, and the residents next to him all looked at him, this kind of natural disaster made them feel desperate.
Just when the atmosphere was gradually depressed, I saw Gao Jun laughing.
"I thought what was going on, wasn't it just a xenomorph tide? It's not like we've never seen them in the wasteland, and if they dare to come, our meat is guaranteed, and we can eat the dragon's tooth wart pork in the warehouse for a while. ”
Seeing him so free and calm, the residents gathered around him also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, the dragontooth warthogs have rushed in, and they haven't been killed? Do not worry. ”
"Yes, yes, what the Führer said, besides, that place is still so far away from us, Yuma Prefecture is carrying it, and it is not our turn to be unlucky."
Gao Jun raised his hand, "Okay, let's go back to eat, eat well and take a rest, and then continue to work in the afternoon." ”
Hearing this, the residents laughed at each other and walked back to eat side by side.
But it's clear that there is something to talk about today.
"Don't run around, let's go eat." Gao Jun touched Dumb's head, and the latter nodded and trotted into the cafeteria.
But after all the residents left, Gao Jun's expression sank, "Call all the managers to the conference room, have a meeting, don't panic too much, whisper, don't let the residents see anything." ”
Kone answered, and led the people to call one by one.
Conference room.
Gao Jun sat on the main seat, and at this time, there should be two cigarettes.
But the conditions are limited, and there is not even a single tea leaf, so I can only eat two pieces of watermelon to quench my thirst.
"Everyone has arrived, so I'll have an impromptu meeting."
"First of all, now that the weather is getting more and more exaggerated, in order to ensure the lives of residents, all our outdoor work is done at night, especially the work of the construction department.
In this kind of weather, TMD feels like it's 60°!
He had also been to the hottest place in his previous life, the Lute Desert, 71°, but that place was already very uninhabited, and the animals were very violent.
The weather at 60° doesn't work anymore.
Yang Ku's face was a little depressed, "Führer, the workload is very large, if you put it all at night, you can't concentrate, I think you can try to change shifts, rest in one group and work in one group, back and forth." ”
"It's not bad, it's up to you to decide, but you must be careful to avoid deaths."
The population is inherently small.
If you die, who will build you a refuge?
"The logistics department has to provide watermelons every day, don't worry, I will arrange it, and there are more large water tanks to put in the shade to facilitate the water."
"Understood." Shi Fen nodded hurriedly, Qi Gui wrote down the words beside him, although his handwriting was ugly, this person still loves to learn, and now he is still studying at night school.
"[The Monster Factory] is working overtime to prepare more Molotov cocktails and bottle bombs, just in case."
Hannah nodded, already thinking about how to work overtime at night.
"I'm going to attack Paradise Lost tonight, and I'll lead the team myself." Gao Jun's news made the conference room quiet, and everyone looked at him.
The news is actually almost translucent.
[Monster Factory] These two heads are working overtime day and night, and the Roaring Corps is throwing bottles in the weapon testing ground every day, and the intensity of this explosion is definitely going to be shot.
"There are 5 people left in the shelter, Bell is in charge, and Alan and I set off with 15 soldiers."
"I'm not in everything, Bell is the main thing."
"Understood!"
……
Late at night.
Instead, it is dull.
Mosquitoes are buzzing in the hot weather.
Even if it is a wasteland, mosquitoes and cockroaches are a race that cannot be exterminated.
In order to keep the trail secret, Gao Jun deliberately led the troops to go around from the direction of the No. 11 river, a mutant yak dragged a small stone-throwing car, which was very simple and did not have much technical content, and the other end pulled the board cart, on which was a bottle bomb, in order to be powerful and deterrent.
[Monster Factory] has even developed a canned chain bomb.
It's 5 cans connected together, but the lead is just one, like an explosives bag, and I haven't tried it yet, so let's try it with Paradise Lost first.
"After arriving at the destination, launch a direct attack, blow the door open with a bomb first, and then Huang Yi, who hears the movement, will respond to the outside world." Gao Jun simply made pre-war deployments.
He's thinking...
Do you want to shout in front of the battle?
Shout NM!
Get lost!
Let's get straight to the fight!
