Chapter 1,393: Driving Out Wolves and Devouring Tigers
It is very easy to destroy the Black Skeleton that dominates the magpie nest, and NAC does not even need to take action personally.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, let alone cans, which are completely worthless in this world. Jiang Chen gave the two Chinatown scavengers such a long time, not really expecting them to recruit a strong mercenary group, but hoping they could spread the news in the two largest survivor settlements in California. ——
Santa Monica Airport, we need mercenaries here.
The airport's runway was repaired, and the Aerospace Plane brought the second batch of supplies as scheduled. This time, the Aerospace G100 did not return directly, but parked on the runway of Santa Monica Airport.
Communication between North America and Asia is still interrupted. If an emergency occurs and evacuation is required, even if a cross-dimensional communication chip is used to transmit the message to Lin Ling, it will be an hour before the aerospace plane flies over.
During this week, Jiang Chen and others didn't go anywhere, just waiting quietly at the airport. Starting from the third day after the two Chinese scavengers set out, mercenaries began to arrive at the airport one after another, asking if there was any need for manpower here.
Based on the principle of more, the better, Jiang Chen stayed with everyone, but he did not offer them the commission amount immediately. Instead, he asked them to wait patiently for a week. During this period, NAC would follow the standard of three cigarettes per person per day. , providing free nutritional mixture. If you don't want to waste time here, it's okay to wait until a week later.
And a week later, when the two scavengers returned to the airport with mercenary groups that met the requirements, the runway of Santa Monica Airport was already filled with people.
Everyone's expressions are without exception. When seeing so many colleagues standing here, no one will feel happy.
If it weren’t for NAC’s free provision of nutritional supplements, if it wasn’t for NAC’s clear response time, if it wasn’t for the impression that NAC was rich that had become deeply rooted in the hearts of the West Coast survivors, if there hadn’t been so many ifs, they would have dispersed long ago. .
Standing in front of the glass window of the airport building, Jiang Chen counted from a distance. There must be at least two thousand people.
The equipment of these mercenaries varies from good to bad. Some carry DIY drone backpacks on their backs and wear composite body armor. Some can't afford to wear any clothes. They have a few rags hanging randomly and carry a .38 on their shoulders. caliber iron barrel rifle.
"Do you want to keep waiting?" Zheng Shanhe walked to Jiang Chen's side and said hesitantly, "Those mercenaries have begun to wait impatiently. I'm worried that if I keep waiting like this, something may go wrong."
"Let's wait until noon." Jiang Chen raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's only two hours anyway."
Two hours passed very quickly, both for the mercenaries beside the runway and for the NAC. After that, a few lone travelers came here to try their luck. Jiang Chen figured it was almost done, so he walked to the side of the airport runway and turned on the loudspeaker on the power armor.
"First of all, on behalf of NAC, I would like to thank you for your patience and your patience. To ensure that no information leaks out, we are not publishing the details of the commission, but I am here to assure you that we will hire each and every one of you because It’s a big deal.”
Facing the dark crowd of mercenaries, Jiang Chen keenly noticed the impatient expressions on the faces of the people in front of him, so he did not waste any more time on the opening remarks and went straight to the point, "A month ago, we lost the battle against Qianshao Town. control.
After being ordered to reach the west coast, I found a group of marauders occupying our outpost. Retake Outpost Town for us, this is the task I hired you to do. "
Retake Outpost Town? !
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the mercenaries present suddenly became commotion.
A mercenary dressed as a cowboy standing in the front row couldn't help but step forward.
"Recapture Outpost Town for you? If you are not even a match for the Black Skull Gang, what chance do you think we have of winning? This is completely asking us to be cannon fodder for you!"
Before the incident, there were fifty units of powered armor stationed in Qianshao Town, and countless exoskeletons. Even such a powerful lineup is no match for Black Skull. Anyway, the survivors on the west coast have already begun to walk around when they hear Black Skull's name.
Many people quite agreed with this mercenary's speech. Especially those mercenaries with poor equipment had begun to retreat after hearing these words that spoke to their hearts.
"I can tell you responsibly that the fall of Qianshao Town has nothing to do with the Black Skull people. They most likely took advantage of someone, but I hope it's better to get something out of their mouths." Jiang Chen replied in a positive tone.
"How much do you plan to pay to hire us?" Another mercenary asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"It depends on how much role you play," Jiang Chen looked at the person in front of him and said, "I won't give you an average salary, because it is very unfair to those who have the ability. I I can guarantee that each of you will get at least one box of canned meat, and for every predator you kill, one will be added. Whoever captures the Black Skull alive will be rewarded with a whole box. You should know very well that those things we produce, take How many bottle caps can I exchange for them in Liberty City?"
The price offered by Jiang Chen made the mercenaries present take a breath. Driven by interests, those who had originally retreated abruptly stopped and were about to leave.
"Xie Te... Thousands of cans, this is not a small amount of money," licking his dry lips, a mercenary looked at Jiang Chen with suspicion and greed in his eyes, and said in an uncertain tone, " I want to see our compensation before we start, and don’t tell me you’re going to take it out of your pockets.”
"Of course it can't be in my trouser pocket. Your reward is in Black Skull's pocket." Looking at the stunned mercenary in front of him, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued, "Just two weeks ago, they Ransacked the freighters we sent to North America. Those things were just a drop in the bucket to us, but they captured our citizens, which made us very angry. If you take the outpost town, I can take that shipment out , divide you half according to your contribution."
…
Wealth makes people crazy, and even makes those mercenaries forget the tradition of paying a deposit first and doing things later.
Although the mercenaries present knew that Outpost Town was now controlled by the Black Skull Gang, they really didn't know that the group of plunderers had actually looted the NAC freighter. If this is the case, those looters who occupy NAC supplies must be extremely rich...
It is impossible for any mercenary group to kill the Black Skeleton Gang alone and seize the supplies alone, especially when the predators are defending in danger.
But it’s different when everyone comes together!
There are at least two thousand mercenaries standing here. It is no exaggeration to say that this force alone is enough to sweep across the entire west coast. Even if the National Guard and the One Minute Man come across, they have to think carefully.
After simple arrangements, more than two thousand mercenaries were led by Zheng Shanhe and set off on the road. After returning to the airport building from the runway, Jiang Chen turned to look at the two Chinese from Chinatown who were following him and asked.
"What happened to what I asked you to inquire about?"
Mike Wu and Zhao Fuxiang looked at each other, and finally the former spoke first, "I can't feel anything over there in Steel City. Except that the National Guard's power armor team is on duty a little more frequently, I can't hear anything about what you said. rumors."
Jiang Chen turned his questioning eyes to Zhao Fuxiang, who immediately answered.
"It's the same in Liberty City. One-minute Rangers are on duty very frequently, which can be seen. In addition, I heard a scavenger in the tavern mention that the council in Liberty City is currently discussing whether to expand conscription. , they are probably ready for war, but they just don’t know who the opponent is.”
"Is that so..." Jiang Chen touched his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly, "I understand."
