Zhou Guoping received good news from the Sixth Block.
The Black Blood Mercenary Group accepted the employment and started heading towards the Taipu River the next day. Counting the additional recruits, this mercenary group of 85 people can be considered a considerable force in the wasteland.
When Zhou Guoping offered the bait of 10% of food trade profits, Luo Yang agreed without saying a word.
The popularity of the food business in Sixth Street has proven its huge profits. And the Zhao Group, which controls the entire market share, is making a lot of money for this. This is obvious to all the people in the Sixth District.
After hearing Zhou Guoping's words and thinking of the relationship between the Fish Bone Base and the Zhao Group, Luo Yang finally understood. It turns out that the food flowing into the Sixth District comes from the fish bone base! Presumably, the entrance to the sewer controlled by that old fox Zhao Chenwu leads to the Fish Bone Base.
However, he didn't say anything about it after learning the news. After all, the fewer people who knew the news, the better it would be for him. If he could get a share of the trade route to Liuding Town, he would have to take on this mission no matter what! With the reputation of the Black Blood Mercenary Group, 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 Group will be further expanded, and his status will also rise. When the time comes to become a member of the parliament, he, Luo Yang, will also step into the ranks of the powerful in the inner circle!
But even though he accepted the commission, he was still confused about one thing.
Since the relationship between the Fish Bone Base and the Zhao Group is unusual, why don't they ask for help from the Zhao Group? In order to protect the interests in hand, Zhao Chenwu would also send troops to support him, right
Jiang Chen naturally didn't think about this problem.
only
"Why are you in trouble again?" Sitting in the virtual conference room, Zhao Chenwu said with a bitter smile.
"It's just that trouble has come to me." Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly.
"Recently, the Sixth District has not been peaceful. I really can't spare the manpower to deal with the mutants in No. 7. Why don't you consider relocating?" Zhao Chenwu suggested after pondering for a moment.
"Relocation? That means all my previous efforts were in vain. I spent at least 400,000 Yajing 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 with those sentry machine guns. I have completed the contract despite the pressure from the parliament and can deliver them to you tomorrow."
"Under pressure? When did the parliament encourage breach of contract?" Jiang Chen said in a joking tone.
"critical moments."
"What kind of trouble have you encountered?" He saw the solemn look on Zhao Chenwu's face. The look on Jiang Chen's face couldn't help but become serious.
"Although it is a secret, based on past trends, it is estimated that the military police regiment that controls the northern joint region has spread over time and has issued a declaration of war to us and is heading here."
"It's them?"
"Have you heard about it?" Zhao Chenwu saw the surprise on Jiang Chen's face. He shrugged and continued, "I traveled thousands of miles to find the remains of a space-based weapon that crashed somewhere in the city center."
Zhao Chenwu obviously misunderstood something. The reason why Jiang Chen was surprised was that the group that teamed up with the mutants to attack Qingpu seemed to be an organization from the Northern United Region. It's just that it's not a military police regiment, but an organization with a very strange name - the Church of Dusk.
"The rod of God?" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
"That's right. In order to resist the invasion of the Northern United United District, the ten-member committee voted to pass a proposal. If it were just to form a defense line in the suburbs to resist the attack of the Northern United United District, it would not be that troublesome."
A hint of gloom flashed across Zhao Chenwu's face, he paused and continued.
"Although we agreed to wait until the foreign enemies were defeated before planning, almost everyone was sending exploration teams to the city center in secret. Especially when the commission of one million sub-crystals spread, everyone went crazy. At first, those idiots were quite reserved and just went quietly, but now they sent out a convoy to rush into the city center with complete shame. Just like killing red-eyed gamblers at the gambling table. "
"Doesn't anyone find it stupid to do this at this juncture?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"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 dominate everyone's life and death, just like a real As given by the scepter of God.”
As he spoke, a look of madness flashed across the hero's brows.
"Imagine it. If there is a sword hanging over everyone's head. Who else can resist your rule? Just one tungsten rod bullet that cannot be intercepted can silence all the voices of resistance. And this A sword, it's lying downtown. Behind us all. God wants everyone to be a sword bearer now."
"This is damn democracy."
Everyone wants to be a dictator.
If there had been only one voice from the beginning, this kind of chaos wouldn't have happened.
It was no longer possible to ask for help from Zhao Chenwu, but this was expected.
The chips on hand are enough, and missing one or two guests will not affect the progress of the fireworks show.
Including the addition of the Black Blood Mercenary Group, the number of warriors that can be shot on the front line in the Fishbone Base has reached 200. Although there is still an n-fold numerical difference when facing mutants. But he still had one last move to make.
That is the survivor of Qingpu!
Since the last expedition, they have united under the banner of Fish Bones. After more than a month of trade exchanges, the bond between the two parties has been strengthened.
It's not that Jiang Chen hasn't attracted the attention of these people all this time, he's just waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity for him to gather everyone together again, an opportunity to show off the strength of the fish bones again.
And now, the opportunity has come.
Outside the main entrance of Fishbone Base, in front of the cement room that used to be used for exchanging supplies, there is now a long queue.
"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 at Zhao Gang's cold-proof clothes with some envy. This one probably costs thirty or forty sub-crystals, which is equivalent to the price of a tearer rifle.
He was still so taciturn, but when he saw his old friend, Zhao Gang still showed a smile on his face.
He was transferred back by Jiang Chen yesterday, and Cheng Weiguo was transferred to the front line again.
Pulling Ma Zhongcheng aside, Zhao Gang handed him a cigarette, put one in his mouth, and then took out a lighter.
"How have you been lately?"
"That's it, good stuff, what brand is it?"
"Produced at the base." Anyway, the boss brought it back and said it was for employee benefits. Zhao Gang didn't ask or think about where it came from.
"Tsk, tsk, it's been such a cold winter, and you guys are really enjoying your life." Ma Zhongcheng looked at the large-caliber machine gun on the wall with envy, holding a cigarette in his mouth and said.
"It should be us, shouldn't it?"
The two looked at each other and then laughed.
The queue in front of the cement house was slowly moving forward. People coming out of the house put on uniformly distributed cold-proof clothing and entered the base under the guidance of the staff.
According to the agreement, all survivors who join the army at Fish Bone Base will be assigned an apartment and enjoy the rations of upper-class citizens, while their family members will enjoy the rations of lower-class citizens. As their military exploits improve and they are promoted to knights, their family members will also become upper-class citizens.
As of today, more than twenty community-level survivor groups have joined the Fishbone Base. Those people were unified into the newly established Foreign Legion, with Zhao Gang as the leader. There are currently only 81 people, but all of them are good marksmen.
With a little training, they can become a huge fighting force.
At this point, the combat power of Fish Bone Base has exceeded 300.
The day of decisive battle is gradually approaching. (.)
