No one expected that this would happen at the end of the mission.
Everyone was in a heavy mood and morale was low.
Except for the three confused little players and the Beth Street guide who didn't know what to do.
Chu Guang said that he wanted to be alone for a while and think calmly about how to inform the families of the victims of this cruel fact.
He was not very good at saying comforting words.
If the performance was too exaggerated, it would be embarrassing if it was exposed. It would be better not to speak at this time.
Sometimes silence is the best language.
Lu Yang put his hand on Chu Guang's shoulder and expressed his understanding.
"I understand your feelings very well, but it will be dark in two hours, and the situation in the city will become very complicated. After returning, I will let Li De contact you...about compensating the families of the victims."
It is at least 20 kilometers from here to the Pioneer, and they have to try to get back before dark. Although the night is not a fatal danger to them, it is better not to delay it too late for caution.
"You go back first, I'll deal with the aftermath and leave."
"But... is it really okay for you to stay here?" Luca said with a slightly hesitant expression, and couldn't help but take a look at the equipment in the hands of the other three residents of the shelter.
Iron pipe rifle.
The most common weapon in the wasteland.
But rather than being a weapon, it looks no different from a water pipe to him.
"Don't worry, we are very familiar with this area and have always lived like this."
Seeing that Chu Guang said so, Lu Yang no longer insisted. After giving him a firm look, he led his people back a long way.
After they walked away, Chu Guang issued a task through the VM, asking the other three little players to recycle the shells on the ground, and then they also took the body of Brother Maca on the road.
To be honest, Chu Guang was not greedy for the two shells.
The main reason was that it was too difficult to play a whole road. He used to be a salesman, not a funeral director, and he really had no experience in this area.
So let Lu Yang and the others go first.
On the way back to the outpost, when passing by Beth Street, Chu Guang remembered the reward, so he took out 5 silver coins and threw them into Zhao Yang's hand.
Looking at the silver coins in his hand, Zhao Yang was delighted and nodded his head to thank him.
"Thank you, sir!"
At first, everyone in Beth Street was very averse to this metal currency, but since they found that this thing could buy many good things that they could not buy before, they gradually began to accept it.
What's the difference between using chips or silver coins?
There will be no caravans from Boulder City visiting here in the winter.
What they need is food, fuel, and warm clothes, and it would be best if they can add a new set of bedding to their homes to make life a little better.
That's all.
"This is the reward you deserve. If you need it, I will come to you again."
After sending Zhao Yang away, Chu Guang returned to the outpost and sent the body in the corpse room into the active substance extractor.
Three days later, he was a hero again.
As for what to do if someone remembers his face? Chu Guang thinks this is not a problem at all. If someone really doubts him, it's nothing more than having another twin brother.
Or post an announcement on the official website?
For example, due to a bug that cannot be solved temporarily, the players who died in the expansion pack cannot be resurrected temporarily. Later, the official will issue a limited assault rifle or event reward points to the affected accounts as compensation?
This is quite reasonable.
Where is there a game without bugs?
Not to mention the closed beta stage, the game itself can only be regarded as a gift for the bug.
As long as the compensation reward is reasonable, the players can still accept it emotionally. At most, they will have a withdrawal reaction of not being able to sleep for three consecutive days, just like Yaya before.
Chu Guang is a little troubled. He actually has a lot of cards in his hand.
However, the problem now is that he doesn't want his little players to cheat insurance as soon as they see the reward. That would be too fake and purely treat people as fools.
But at the same time, he hopes that the little players can help him earn more pensions. After all, you can only earn 13R at most for three days of work, so a four-digit compensation for one death is not too much, right?
Tsk.
If there is some way to make it more reasonable, that would be great.
Chu Guang thought that Li De would probably call soon, so he walked towards the barracks of the office.
Coincidentally, just when Chu Guang was walking in that direction, Luo Hua just came out of the barracks, saw him and his eyes lit up, and took the initiative to greet him.
"Hey, you're finally back."
"Your section chief is looking for me?"
Luo Hua looked at Chu Guang in surprise, nodded and said.
"Yes, he asked me to call him if I saw you back... How did you guess?"
Chu Guang was about to laugh, but remembered that he couldn't laugh, at least he shouldn't laugh, so he held it back and sighed softly.
"This is a sad story... Let's talk about it next time we drink."
Luo Hua looked confused, not understanding why he had to wait until the next time to talk about it, and even more confused why the usually gentle and elegant Brother Chu had such a heavy expression.
However, he was just asking casually, and since it was presumptuous, he did not ask any more questions.
"Okay..."
Chu Guang nodded and walked towards the office.
Passing through the door of the barracks.
Ai Si, who was maintaining the weapon, looked up at him, without saying a word, and skillfully opened the holographic communication system on the table and sent a contact request to the Pioneer.
This bodyguard usually speaks very little, or even almost nothing.
Chu Guang admired her character very much, it would be great if Boss Xia could learn from her.
Whether it was the attitude towards work or the professionalism.
The dark green beams intertwined in the air, weaving a three-dimensional net.
After a short wait, Li De's bust appeared in the holographic image.
After staring at Chu Guang for two seconds, the head of the logistics department saw that Chu Guang had no intention of opening the conversation, so he cleared his throat and spoke.
"I have heard about the incident from the captain. I feel sorry for the death of that young man. Of course, regret alone is not enough to express our apology. If you have no objection, let's talk about the pension next."
Sure enough.
Chu Guang understood in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
He nodded slightly and said.
"Okay."
Guessing that this old fox would not take the initiative to "quote", Li De did not waste time waiting and continued to speak.
"You are not employees of the company. We cannot pay pensions to your people according to the company's standards and employee levels. The compensation plan we have studied is... 1000R, which is equivalent to 1000 hours of hourly wages."
Chu Guang stared at him.
"I can't accept it. Do you think a life is only worth 1000R?"
A ton of starch is too much!
Makabazi is our good partner!
You have to pay more!
Li De also stared at Chu Guang and was not fooled by this concept substitution.
"I know that a life is worth much more than this price. Life cannot be measured by money, but we also have to consider realistic factors... Moreover, his death was not caused by us, am I right?"
Huh?
Chu Guang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this guy to be smart.
It can be seen that before answering the phone, the head of the logistics department should have done a lot of homework, at least to find their captain to understand the whole process of the operation.
Indeed.
Strictly speaking, brother Maka did not die because of their mistakes, but because he was too black-faced and stepped on a landmine when rummaging through the boxes.
Li De's hint in his words was very obvious, and it can even be said that it was not a hint. It was completely clear that the deceased did not die because of us, but he died in an action related to us after all. We are willing to pay a compensation out of moral obligation, but don't go too far.
Chu Guang was of course very clear about this, but to expect him to just give up like that would be underestimating his professionalism.
