Chapter 197 Recruitment
Good news came from Zhou Guoping from the Sixth Street District.
The Black Blood Mercenary Group accepted the hire, and set out towards the Taipu River the next day. Counting the additional recruits, the eighty-five-member mercenary regiment is quite a force in the wasteland.
When Zhou Guoping threw out the bait of 10% income from food trade, Luo Yang agreed without saying a word.
The popularity of the food business in the Sixth Street District has proved the huge profits. And the Zhao Group, which controls the entire market share, has made a lot of money for this. All the people in the sixth block can see this.
Hearing Zhou Guoping's words, and thinking about the relationship between the fishbone base and the Zhao Group, Luo Yang finally understood. It turned out that the food that flowed into the sixth block came from that fish bone base! Presumably, the sewer entrance controlled by Zhao Chenwu's old fox leads to the Fishbone Base.
However, he didn't say anything when he knew the news. After all, the less people knew about the news, the better it would be for him. If he can get a share of the business road leading to Liuding Town, he will follow up on this mission no matter what! With the prestige of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps, transporting goods from Qingpu to Liuding Town at the mouth of the Yangtze River is not a problem at all.
With this stable income, the equipment and scale of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps will be further expanded, and his status will also rise. When the time comes to become a member of the parliament, Luo Yang will also step into the ranks of the inner circle dignitaries from now on!
But even though he had accepted the entrustment, he was still confused about one thing.
Since the relationship between the Fishbone Base and the Zhao Group is unusual, why didn't they ask the Zhao Group for help? In order to protect the interests at hand, Zhao Chenwu would send troops to support him, right?
Naturally, Jiang Chen would not have thought of this question.
only......
"Why are you in trouble again?" Sitting in a virtual conference room. Zhao Chenwu smiled wryly.
"It's just that trouble came to me." Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly.
"Recently, the Sixth Street District is not very peaceful. I really can't spare any manpower...the mutants on the Seventh Land, why don't you consider moving?" Zhao Chenwu suggested after pondering for a moment.
"Relocation? That means my previous efforts were in vain. I spent at least 400,000 subcrystals on the construction of this base. No matter what, I will not abandon this base. What's more, I still have a chance of winning. "
"I wish you success... For those sentry machine guns, I have completed the contract under the pressure of the council, and they can be delivered to you tomorrow.
"
"Under pressure? When did the council encourage breach of contract?" Jiang Chen said in a joking tone.
"critical moments."
"What trouble did you encounter?" Seeing the seriousness on Zhao Chenwu's face, Jiang Chen couldn't help but become serious.
"Although it is a secret. However, according to the past urine, it is estimated that it will spread after a while... The military government that controls the Northern Federation-the Gendarmerie has issued a declaration of war to us, and is sending it to us. Start here."
"It's them?"
"Have you heard about it?" Zhao Chenwu continued, seeing the astonishment on Jiang Chen's face, shrugging his shoulders. "It's uncomfortable to run all the way here for the wreckage of a space-based weapon that fell somewhere in the city center."
Zhao Chenwu obviously misunderstood something. The reason why Jiang Chen was surprised was because the one who teamed up with the mutants to attack Qingpu seemed to be an organization from the Northern United Area. It's just that it's not a gendarmerie, but an organization with a strange name - the Twilight Church.
"The staff of God?" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
"That's right. In order to resist the aggression of the Northern Federation, the ten-member committee voted to pass a proposal. Form a defense line in the suburbs to resist the attack of the Northern Federation... If it's just like this, it's not so much trouble."
A haze flashed across Zhao Chenwu's face. After a pause, he continued.
"Although it was agreed to wait until the foreign enemies were defeated, almost everyone was dispatching an exploration team to the city center. Especially when the entrustment of one million subcrystals spread, everyone went crazy. Those idiots were quite reserved at first. They just went quietly, but now they sent a convoy to the city center in a shameless way. It’s like killing red-eyed gamblers at the gambling table.”
"Did no one realize that it's stupid to do this at this juncture?" Jiang Chen couldn't help complaining.
"Everyone has to be stupid, including me." Zhao Chenwu stared at the table with a gloomy expression. "Once anyone gets that thing, it will be a nightmare for everyone else. It can control everyone's life and death. It's like a real as a scepter bestowed upon God."
As he said that, a look of madness flashed across the hero's brows.
"Imagine. If there is a sword hanging over everyone's head. Who else can resist your rule? It only takes a tungsten rod bullet that cannot be intercepted at all. It can silence all the voices of resistance. And this A sword, it's lying in the middle of the city, behind all of us. God...everyone wants to be a sword bearer now."
"This damn democracy."
Everyone wants to be a dictator.
If there had only been one voice from the start, this mess would not have happened.
…
It was impossible to ask Zhao Chenwu for help, but this was expected.
The chips in hand are already enough, and the lack of one or two guests will not affect the progress of the fireworks show.
Counting the addition of the Black Blood Mercenary Group, the number of fighters in the Fishbone Base that can be photographed on the front line has reached 200. Although there is still an n-fold difference in the number of mutants, he still has one final move to make.
That is the survivor of Qingpu!
Since the last expedition, they have been united under the banner of the Fishbone. After more than a month of trade exchanges, the bond between the two parties has been strengthened.
It's not that Jiang Chen didn't catch the attention of these people all this time, but he was just waiting for an opportunity.
A chance for him to gather everyone together again, a chance to show off the force of fish bones again.
And now, the opportunity has come.
Outside the main entrance of the Fishbone Base, in front of the cement room used to exchange supplies, there is a long queue at the moment.
"Long time no see, Gangzi." Ma Zhongcheng, who was wearing a thick leather jacket, hugged his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and looked enviously at Zhao Gang's winter clothes. I'm afraid that this body will cost thirty or forty sub-crystals, which is equivalent to the price of a Ripper rifle.
He was still so taciturn, but when he saw his old friend, Zhao Gang still had a smile on his face.
He was transferred back by Jiang Chen yesterday, and Cheng Weiguo was transferred to the front again.
Pulling Ma Zhongcheng aside, Zhao Gang handed him a cigarette, put one in his own mouth, and took out the lighter.
"How have you been recently?"
"That's it... good stuff, what brand?"
"It's self-produced at the base." Anyway, the boss brought it back, saying it was for employee benefits, but Zhao Gang didn't ask and didn't think about where it came from.
"Tsk tsk, it's so cold this winter, you guys are really enjoying yourself." Ma Zhongcheng said, looking enviously at the large-caliber machine gun on the wall, with a cigarette in his mouth.
"It should be us, shouldn't it?"
The two looked at each other, and then both laughed.
The queue in front of the cement building was slowly moving forward, and everyone who came out of the building put on a uniformly distributed winter clothing, and entered the base under the guidance of the staff.
According to the agreement, all survivors who join the army at the Fishbone Base will be allocated a suite, enjoying the rations of upper-class citizens, while their family members will enjoy the rations of lower-class citizens. With the improvement of military exploits, after being promoted to knights, family members will also be promoted to high-class citizens.
As of today, more than 20 community-level survivor groups have joined the Fishbone Base. Those people were unified into the newly established foreign corps, headed by Zhao Gang, there are currently only 81 people, but all of them are good marksmen.
With a little training, they can become a formidable force.
So far, the strength of the Fishbone base has exceeded 300.
The day of the decisive battle is gradually approaching. (To be continued) () "I Have a Suite in the End Times" only represents the author's opinion of Chenxing LL.
