A thousand new recruits are not as effective as two hundred veterans. Even if some people are selected from the new recruits to be armed, it is impossible to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Xu Dali and his team trained for a month, but they were barely qualified. Fortunately, the endurance, endurance and perseverance of the people in the last days have great advantages. Training for one or two months is the same as training for a year in peacetime. But Zhou Yuanqiang's eyes are now on this batch of mercenaries.
Among the mercenaries that Qiu Guorui found, there are greedy people, but most people are still very principled. The greed encountered in the encounter is only a very rare phenomenon. Just think about this time, they came back smoothly, but they carried half a car of crystals, a huge fortune. But admittedly, with such a huge fortune, they didn't think much about it, and it was worth Zhou Yuanqiang's price to take them down.
The paid hire money was not too much, and it was handed over to Xu Yuhai to go to the settlement to do it, and Zhou Yuanqiang didn't need to worry about it. Most of the food brought back from the Grand Canyon was corn, so today's meal was a big bowl of corn soup, which was full of golden corn kernels. After adding a little salt, oil and chopped green onions, the smell alone made people who were tired of potatoes drool.
While the more than 80 mercenaries finished their lunch, Zhou Yuanqiang asked Mu Gushan to carry a box over.
At noon in the wilderness, the sun was so hot that the whole earth was about to smoke. Staying in the woods of the small oasis was a pleasure. When the wind blew, it didn't feel hot, but cool, which made people relax all over. To be honest, this small oasis was often threatened by zombies and had been occupied by people long ago. How could Zhou Yuanqiang get it without any effort? In such an environment, having such a place to cool down is definitely what everyone wants.
At noon, the sun was scorching, and the siege was considered complete, so everyone relaxed and hid in the tents set up under the woods to rest.
Zhou Yuanqiang gathered all the mercenaries together. He jumped onto a rock and looked at the mercenaries sitting in a group below. He waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone has followed me, Zhou, and risked their lives to go to the Grand Canyon settlement. It's so hard. I know it's not easy for everyone. These days, working hard and risking your life, isn't it just to keep your stomach from going hungry? I promised everyone before that as long as this business is successfully completed, everyone will definitely benefit."
The mercenaries below were all in a commotion. Just as Zhou Yuanqiang said, they worked so hard just to feed themselves. No matter how much they said, it would be better to give them some practical things.
"Lift it up!"
As Zhou Yuanqiang shouted, Mu Gushan came up with a box and placed it on the stone. After opening it, a box of level 4 yellow crystals was immediately revealed. After seeing this box of level 4 yellow crystals, the mercenaries who were originally in a commotion lost their voices again, and then there was a heavy swallowing sound, and heavy breathing. Everyone's eyes showed a fanatical and greedy look, wishing they could rush up and grab the whole box.
Zhou Yuanqiang sneered in his heart, took out a crystal from it, and said: "Now is the time to distribute dividends. Everyone lines up and each person will get one crystal. It can be regarded as Zhou's gratitude to everyone."
How much is 1 level 4 yellow crystal? 1 level 4 can be exchanged for 10 level 3 crystals, 100 level 2 crystals, and 1,000 level 1 white crystals. Can you imagine how much wealth this is? Converted into food, it is enough for people to eat for a long time.
There are quite a few people present who have owned level 4 crystals, but they are of course surprised by Zhou Yuanqiang's generosity. There are more than 80 people here, that is to say, Zhou Yuanqiang took out more than 80 level 4 crystals just for dividends, which is definitely a huge fortune. An anti-material sniper rifle is just more than 10 level 4 crystals, which is equivalent to forming a sniper team. How can they not be surprised?
After distributing the crystals, Zhou Yuanqiang squinted his eyes, looked at them excitedly, and said: "Ask everyone a question. Level 4 crystals can be exchanged for a lot of food, but have you ever thought that no matter how big the gold and silver mountains are, there will be a day when they are eaten up. I wonder if you have such good luck as today and can meet a boss as generous as me?"
In the end times, there are no so-called human rights. Before Zhou Yuanqiang appeared, they didn't even think that they could get extra dividends. For others, being able to pay enough hiring money is already very good. How could there be such a good thing?
So after Zhou Yuanqiang asked this question, almost everyone present shook their heads.
Seeing their cooperation, Zhou Yuanqiang laughed and said, "I am very satisfied with you all. Now there is an opportunity in front of you. I wonder if you know how to cherish it. Caravans must be maintained, but this employment cannot be like this forever. So what I mean is that I will form a team to protect the safety of the caravan and the camp. I wonder if anyone here wants to work for me and fight with me?"
These mercenaries are scattered and small teams. Their strength is really weak in the end times, and they often don't have much say. So in the face of Zhou Yuanqiang's recruitment, which can be said to be poaching, the small leaders have no resentment and appear very calm.
What they care most about is not who they work for, but who can bring them food.
In the end, except for the management bureau and large teams of the settlement, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that they can eat every meal. Small teams like small teams also have times of hunger. The conditions Zhou Yuanqiang offered seemed very generous for the end of the world, at least for scattered soldiers and small teams, guaranteeing food and accommodation was indeed very generous. Moreover, with Zhou Yuanqiang's generosity, it was impossible for him to treat his subordinates badly. Just looking at the more than 80 level 4 crystals distributed, you can see his courage.
The small team was still hesitating, but scattered mercenaries would not hesitate. Not everyone would encounter such a pie in the sky. There was nothing to say, and more than a dozen people stood up on the spot, ran to Qiu Guorui to register, and officially joined Zhou Yuanqiang's men.
Zhou Yuanqiang added fuel to the fire and said, "What are you still hesitating about?" He pointed to the surroundings of the small oasis and said, "There is a thriving scene here, and there is a road to the Grand Canyon settlement. Are you still worried about being hungry? Do you see the tents under the woods? In the future, there will be more and more people here, and our team will become more and more troubled. I believe that with everyone's efforts, it is definitely not a fantasy to build a small oasis into a satellite settlement."
The hesitant small team had nothing to hesitate about under Zhou Yuanqiang's lobbying. Anyway, they led a dozen people, and they were not leaders, let alone power. It was just more convenient for everyone to get together. There was also the possibility of falling apart at any time. It was better to join now. In the future, if it was really like what the boss said, those who joined first would be the elders and the backbone of the team, and the benefits would definitely be far beyond what they could imagine at present.
More than 80 people, no one left. They had seen the huge profits of the caravan and didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.
