"Ahhh!"
"Kill them!"
The players raised their weapons excitedly and responded to the call of the administrator with great momentum.
Very satisfied with their attitude, Chu Guang nodded and waved forward.
A group of people passed through the north gate of the park, followed the wreckage of the elevated road out of the city all the way north, and directly killed the predators' lair four kilometers away.
This is an abandoned tire factory.
Outside the wall, there are simple fortifications, and the walls are smeared with strange patterns and symbols with filth.
[Canyon Fleeing Mole] lowered his voice and whispered to [Midnight Killing Chicken] next to him.
"These graffiti remind me of the wild men in the forest."
"Wild men in the forest?"
"A game, PC version."
"I know... but these people don't live in the forest, we live in the forest, right?"
"..."
Although the main force of the enemy has been wiped out, Chu Guang still did not take it lightly, and was still carefully guarding the surroundings and possible traps.
But what's interesting is that when Chu Guang and his party arrived, they found that the door of the plunderer's nest was actually open.
At the same time, just when he confirmed that the Blood Hand Clan camp had fallen, a light blue pop-up window appeared in front of him.
[Mission completed. ]
[Access to the B2 floor of Shelter No. 404 has been authorized and can be unlocked in 24 hours. ]
[Countdown: 23h59min59s]
Tsk, I have to wait another 24 hours.
Forget it.
Chu Guang was not in a hurry anyway. He still had a lot of things to deal with before exploring the B2 floor.
Including the captives.
Also including other spoils of war.
At the same time, Hai En, who was standing at the gate of the camp waiting anxiously, saw Chu Guang and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If the person who came was not him, or if he did not come on foot, he might not be able to save his life.
"I still think that intervening in the disputes among the locals is not a good choice." Holding a square assault rifle, the muscular female mercenary looked at her employer and reminded, "We have no control over the region, and they can decide our fate with just one thought."
"I agree with Renna's point of view," another strong mercenary looked at the group of people outside and frowned, "If they choose to take them all, what are you going to do?"
His name is Wen, and he is the strongest among the three.
Regarding the opinions of his subordinates, Hain said without caring.
"This is a problem, but it's not a big problem. We even do business with the predators, let alone them? Believe me, it's not a bad thing to change a relatively law-abiding trading partner."
"Really?" The female mercenary whistled and said teasingly, "I don't think they are much more civilized than the predators."
"Okay, shut up, stand here and wait for me!"
Throwing away his two bodyguards, Hain quickly rolled down the stairs and greeted them out of the door with an excited look on his face, as if they had known each other for many years.
"My dear friend, you don't know how excited I am when I see you appear here safely!"
"Me too," Chu Guang smiled faintly, glanced at the village gate next to him, and said with a little surprise, "You took down this stronghold alone?"
Hai En laughed.
"Of course not by myself. Unless you are a poor man or a gambler with a lot of money, no one will go so far to do business alone. Well, let's not talk at the door, come in first!"
"I will introduce you to my two bodyguards and assistants later. Thanks to them this time, our plan would not be so smooth!"
Hai En politely invited Chu Guang and his party in, and described his resourcefulness along the way, how he deceived the leader of the Blood Hand Clan, and how he took advantage of their inattention and cooperated with his bodyguards ambushed outside to take down this stronghold.
To be honest, Chu Guang was not interested in his "heroic deeds". No matter how much he said, the scene could not be more exciting than what he had experienced himself.
However, since the fortress had been breached from the inside, it saved him a lot of time.
Chu Guang had originally prepared to let the players act as human bombs and risk their lives to rush through the door with ten kilograms of black gunpowder, but now it seems that this extra expense can be saved.
The next step is to loot.
No one is more proficient in this matter than his players.
After receiving the order, the players' eyes seemed to glow green, and they rushed into the looters' base in a swarm.
Not to mention the cabinets in the room, even a loose floor tile was not spared!
"What's in this jar?"
"Yue, it stinks."
"It's probably Oli Gei."
"Fuck, there's a human head in this drawer... it's too perverted."
"A white plastic sheet was found under the floor!"
"What's this thing for? Casino chips? Collectibles?"
"This? Fuck, it's a good thing! Look at the guide on the forum, you can take it to the warehouse to exchange for money, one chip can be exchanged for 5 copper coins!"
Looking at these blue jackets that look more like bandits than predators, Lunna smacked her tongue, and Wen next to her also had a strange expression on his face.
The blue jackets he had seen were all more reserved, even pedantic, and it was rare to see one like this without any airs.
"What language do they speak?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, but they're not from this area."
"Are they really from the shelter?"
"I don't know, but who cares?"
"You're so boring."
"I just don't have as many questions as you do."
The two mercenaries talked in a low voice. The most vicious force in this area has been destroyed, and no one will bother them in the second half of the night.
Hain and Chu Guang, who were standing aside, were also talking in a friendly manner, discussing how to divide the profits of this big deal.
"Seven people died on my side...actually eight, and there was also an unlucky child whose arm was cut off by the leader of the predators. He bled and couldn't be saved."
"Hiss...this, this is really too tragic."
Hain smacked his tongue and expressed shock and regret with a dumbfounded expression.
He didn't know how many people there were in the outpost, but he estimated that there should be less than a hundred. Eight people died in this battle, which was equivalent to a 10% reduction in the total population. The price was indeed a bit high.
"...Don't be too sad. People die every day in the wasteland. War losses are inevitable. Last year, I had four bodyguards, but this year there are only two left."
Hain sighed and said in a comforting tone, "At least their sacrifice has brought peace. The survivors, including all the survivors in this area, will thank them."
"They will compensate us later, but this is not what we are discussing now," Chu Guang looked at Haien and continued, "You probably misunderstood what I meant. I am not seeking your comfort, but informing you that we will take the lion's share."
Hain looked stunned.
He stuttered for a moment before he could get his head around it.
"Ah, okay... I mean, no problem. Well, this is what you deserve, my noble lord."
Chu Guang nodded.
"Very good, then we can talk about how to divide it specifically."
The two mercenaries looked at each other in silence, not daring to speak, only daring to communicate with their eyes.
'This is the first time I've seen such a cruel blue coat. '
'I bet the boss has seen him for the first time too. '
'He is a tyrant. '
'He is ruthless and to my taste. '
…
There are 29 looters in the wetland park, 10 of whom are seriously injured. I wonder if they can survive tonight.
There are about 30 people in the looters' dungeon, including the two young looters who have just been locked up, a total of 32 people. However, half of them are seriously injured, and some are only half-breathed. They look miserable and may die at any time.
According to the negotiation between Chu Guang and Hai En, all looters can be packed for them regardless of whether they are slightly injured or seriously injured, and in exchange, Hai En needs to provide him with a batch of goods of equal value.
There are 31 looters in total.
It is difficult to estimate without a unified currency, so Chu Guang simply uses the specialty "coarse salt" of Honghe Town as an equivalent, and charges him 20 kilograms of coarse salt per person.
When Chu Guang and Sun Shiqi used dried meat to exchange for salt, they exchanged about three kilograms of meat for one kilogram of salt. According to this calculation, it was equivalent to one person's head being exchanged for 60 kilograms of "bacon".
He thought it was reasonable.
Although Hai En did not think of dried meat, this transaction price was barely acceptable to him.
A strong laborer only needed a little training and sold to the mine owners in Honghe Town. It would not be a problem to double or triple the price.
The disabled captives were not a big deal. Honghe Town lacked food but not nutritional paste. If they were kept until the beginning of next spring, someone would be willing to take the parts that were still in good condition.
The only trouble now was that Hai En did not carry so many goods.
In order to make the last deal before winter, he only brought some hard currency in Qingquan City, that is, those plastic sheets.
It was no problem to buy two or three strong laborers with that little bit of chips, but it was a bit of a pipe dream to eat more than thirty at a time.
Hai En tried to make a final effort and said to Chu Guang.
"We didn't bring that much! I can guarantee with my reputation that I will bring what I promised next spring!"
Chu Guang sneered.
"Don't talk nonsense in your sleep. If you had such a reputation, we wouldn't be standing here to talk about business. Anyway, Honghe Town is only two days away from here, you can go back and get it now."
Hai En exclaimed.
"You are crazy, it's winter now! It was snowing heavily outside a few hours ago! You want me to go back to Honghe Town and come back?"
Chu Guang said indifferently.
"It's just the beginning of winter. It was only the third snow before. The temperature on the surface didn't even reach below zero. Is this considered heavy snow? You are not afraid of one person coming to me as a lobbyist, and you are still worried about this risk?"
Bring two or three people back, or thirty people?
There are not many opportunities to do such business.
After weighing the pros and cons, Hai En made a decision in less than a minute.
In principle, no caravan is willing to do business at this time.
But when the benefits are greater than the risks, the principles are just principles.
Chu Guang was very satisfied with his decision.
After all, if he disagreed, the gallows of justice would be busy again.
He couldn't take out precious food to feed these plunderers, as the benefits of doing so were far lower than turning them into raw materials for summoning the fourth disaster.
These people were naturally undisciplined, and it was common for them to be lazy at work. It would take a lot of time and manpower to tame them, and even if they were successfully tamed, they would be far less useful than the players.
Why bother?
He would be able to open the B2 floor soon.
There would be more closed beta qualifications by then, satisfying those long-awaited friends.
…
After discussing the division of the spoils, Chu Guang ordered the players to go to the dungeon and free up the space inside for the plunderers in the brick factory.
When the door of the dungeon was opened, the fishy smell that hit them almost suffocated the two little players who followed them down. It took a long time to clear the wind before they set up torches and continued to move forward.
The deep and dark stone walls were covered with sticky stains. Occasionally, cockroaches as big as fists could be seen crawling across the ground, and mice as big as shoes could be seen fighting each other for a rotten corpse.
The men and women with chains on their hands and feet looked at the people who appeared at the entrance of the dungeon blankly, with no light in their eyes. Only a few had healthy limbs, and some had bugs as thick as thumbs crawling on their bodies, but they didn't care at all.
[Elf King Fugui] couldn't help but vomit on the spot.
"Next time I won't do this job again."
[Canyon Escaping Mole] was okay, and even laughed and squeezed him.
"Didn't you ask to come here?"
"...I thought there was an injured little Klee."
"Tsk, how can we call the police here?"
Looking at the two people walking forward, [Irena], who had walked to the door, stopped and had a subtle expression on her face, which looked very funny like she was standing in the corner in fear.
"I can help you stay behind. We are mainly worried about the predators attacking from behind."
Fugui and Mole looked at each other, and laughed at the same time, looking at this good brother together.
"Don't, brother, we are here now."
"The mission reward is 5 silver coins, we have to get the people out."
"That's right," the agile Fugui grabbed Irena who was about to escape and said with a smile, "There are no predators here, dear."
"Let me go! Ah, ah, ah."
It took a lot of time to get all the captives in the dungeon to the surface, and the looting on the other side was also going on.
Those players who looted the loot almost turned the entire tire factory upside down.
Not only those guys who can be seen as valuable at a glance, but even the pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches used by the predators to eat were collected.
Speaking of this, there is a small episode.
When the players searched the room of the plunderer Bo SS, they found a wooden torture device inside. A cold clone was hung on the torture device, with stains and scars on its fair skin.
Chu Guang had some impression of her.
He still remembered that it was at the door of Bet Street when he saw Lister and Old Charlie talking about business, and a gunman from the caravan took her down from the car.
"How could the clone bought by Old Leech appear in the camp of the Blood Hand Clan?"
Chu Guang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
There were probably four possibilities in his mind, ABCD, some serious and some not so serious.
The four little players who followed him into the room whispered behind him.
"Is this game really serious?"
"Probably...?"
"Then why is there a book plot?"
"What book plot? You only know the book! This is called background setting. Do you understand setting? Hey, I have to go to the official website to praise it after I go offline. There are still many details in this game. I hope they won't delete them in the public beta."
"Don't think about the version number. Play on the international server."
"But our manager is quite decent. In this wasteland where people's hearts are colder than ice, there are such righteous, fair and kind NPCs. It's really rare."
This sentence was unanimously recognized by the players.
Without exaggeration or slander, many details can show that their manager is a leader with great charisma.
Otherwise, why does the owner of the weapon shop always secretly look at him?
Hearing the conversation of the players, Chu Guang laughed.
What else?
If I were a normal wastelander, the clones hanging on the torture device would be you. Think about it carefully, where are these "goods" produced from?
Pulling a piece of cloth and throwing it on her, Chu Guang looked at the players behind him.
"Take this poor man down and take him away."
"The body will only feed cockroaches if it is left here, so why not let her play a role in rekindling the fire of civilization."
"Also, search this room carefully and report to me immediately if you find any clues."
"Be careful of the traps."
The four players said excitedly.
"Yes! Sir!"
Looting!
Searching the NPC's cabinet!
They are the best at this job!
