Chapter 147 He is our good friend and needs to be paid more!

   No one expected this kind of thing to happen at the end of the mission.

   Everyone's hearts are heavy and morale is low.

   Except for the three little players who looked confused, and didn't know how to be a good Bette Street guide.

  Chu Guang said that he wanted to be alone for a while and think calmly about how to notify the families of the victims of this cruel fact.

   He is not very good at speaking comforting words.

  If the acting is too exaggerated, it will be embarrassing to wear it, so it is 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 how you feel, but it will be dark in two hours, and the situation in the city will become very complicated. After I go back, I will let Li De contact you... about compensating the families of the victims. ."

   It was at least twenty kilometers from here to the Trailblazer, and they had to try to get back before dark. Although the night is not a mortal danger to them, it is best not to delay it too late out of an abundance of caution.

   "You guys go back first, I'll take care of the aftermath and leave."

   "But...is it really okay for you to stay here?" Lu Yang said with a slightly hesitant expression, and couldn't help but glanced at the equipment in the hands of the other three shelter residents.

   Iron-barreled rifle.

  The most common weapon on the wasteland.

   But it's not so much a weapon, in his view, it's no different from a water pipe.

   "Don't worry, we're familiar with this area, and we've been there all along."

   Seeing that Chu Guang had said so, Lu Yang no longer insisted, and after giving him a firm look, he returned with his own people.

   After they were far away, Chu Guang issued a mission through the VM, and asked the other three small players to recover the bullet casings all over the ground, and then took the corpse of brother Maca on the road.

   To be honest, Chu Guang was not greedy for those two shells.

   The main reason is that it is too difficult to act the whole way. He used to be a salesman and not a funeral director, so he really has no experience in this area.

   So let Lu Yang and the others go first.

   On the way back to the outpost, when passing by Bette Street, Chu Guang remembered the reward, so he took out 5 silver coins and threw it in Zhao Yang's hand.

   Looking at the silver coin in his hand, Zhao Yang was overjoyed and quickly nodded his thanks.

   "Thank you sir!"

   At first, everyone in Bate Street rejected this metal currency, but since they found out that this thing can buy a lot of good things that they could not buy before, they gradually began to accept it.

  What is the difference between using chips or silver coins?

   In the big winter, there will be no caravans from Boulder City to stroll here.

   What they need is food, fuel, and warm clothing, preferably a new set of bedding to make life a little easier.

   That's all.

   "This is what you deserve, and I will come back to you if I need it."

After    sent Zhao Yang away, Chu Guang returned to the outpost and sent the corpse lying between the corpses into the active substance extractor.

  Three days later, he was a hero again.

   As for what if someone remembers his face? Chu Guang felt that this was not a problem at all. Some people really suspected that it was nothing more than an extra twin brother.

   Or post an announcement on the official website?

  For example, due to a bug that cannot be resolved temporarily in the expansion, players who died in the expansion cannot be resurrected temporarily. Later, the official will issue a limited-edition assault rifle or event reward points to the affected account as compensation?

   This is quite reasonable.

   Is there any game without bugs?

   Not to mention the packaging and testing stage, the game itself can only be regarded as a BUG gift.

  As long as the compensation and rewards are reasonable, the players can still accept it emotionally. At most, they have a withdrawal reaction of being unable to sleep for three consecutive days, just like before.

  Chu Guang was a little worried, he actually had a lot of cards in his hand.

   But the problem now is that he doesn't want his little players to deceive all the rewards as soon as they see it. It's too fake to die like that, and it's just to treat them as fools.

   But at the same time, he hopes that the little players can help him earn a little more pension. After all, if you work for three days, you can earn up to 13CR, so it's not too much to lose four figures if you die alone, right?

  Tsk.

   If only there was a way to cool down a little more reasonably.

  Chu Guang thought that Li De was about to call, so he walked towards the barracks of the office.

   Coincidentally, just as Chu Guang was walking in that direction, Luo Hua happened to come out of the barracks, saw 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.

   "That's right, he told me to call him if I see you coming back... How did you guess?"

  Chu Guang was about to laugh, but remembered that he couldn't laugh, at least he shouldn't, so he held back and sighed lightly.

   "It's a sad story... Let's talk about it next time we drink."

  Luo Hua looked blank, not understanding why he had to wait for a drink to chat, let alone why the always gentle and elegant brother Chu had such a heavy expression.

   However, he originally asked casually, and since he was presumptuous, he did not ask any further.

"it is good……"

  Chu Guang nodded and walked towards the office.

   Go through the barracks door.

  Ace, who was maintaining his weapon, looked up at him, without saying a word, he skillfully turned on the holographic communication system on the table, and sent a contact request to the Pioneer.

   This bodyguard usually speaks very little, and it can even be said that there are basically no words.

  Chu Guang admires her character very much, it would be great if Boss Xia could learn from her.

   Whether it is the attitude of doing things, or the professionalism.

  Dark green light beams intertwined in the air, weaving a three-dimensional net.

   After a short wait, Li De's bust appeared in the hologram.

   and Chu Guang looked at each other for two seconds, the logistics section chief saw that Chu Guang had no intention of opening the chatterbox, so he cleared his throat and said.

"I have heard from the captain what happened, and I am very sorry for that young man's death. Of course, regret alone is not enough to express our apology. If you have no opinion, let's talk about pensions. matter."

   Sure enough.

  Chu Guang knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

   nodded slightly, he said.

"Can."

   Guessing that the old fox would not take the initiative to "offer", Li De stopped wasting time waiting and continued to speak.

   "You are not employees of the company, and we cannot give pensions to your people according to the company's standards and employee level. The compensation plan after our research is... 1000CR, which is equivalent to 1000 hourly wages."

  Chu Guang stared at him.

   "I can't accept it, is a human life only worth 1000CR in your eyes?"

   A ton of starch is too much!

  Macabazi is our good partner!

  Have extra money!

  Li De also stared at Chu Guang, and was not fooled by this idea of ​​stealing the concept.

   "I know that a human life is much more than this price. Life cannot be measured by money, but we also have to consider realistic factors... Not to mention that his death was not caused by us, am I right?"

Huh?

  Chu Guang was a little surprised, but 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 asking their captain to understand the entire process of the operation.

really.

  Strictly speaking, Brother Maca didn't die because of their mistakes, but because his face was too dark, he stepped on the thunder when he was rummaging through the boxes.

Li De's implication in his words is very obvious, it can even be said that it is not implied, it is completely explicit-the dead person did not die because of us, but he died in an action related to us after all. Morality pays a compensation, but don't go too far.

  Chu Guang was of course very clear in his heart, but expecting him to give up just like that would underestimate his professionalism.

   nodded, Chu Guang took retreat as the way forward.

"Yes, it is undeniable that we are all responsible for such a thing, and I have no intention to put all the blame on you. To be honest, it is a noble and noble act that you are willing to give compensation to the families of the victims. But please also understand that from my standpoint, I naturally have to find a way to help our people win a little more."

  Li De: "Understood, so your answer is?"

  Chu Guang: "I accept the compensation you offered. In addition, I will give his widow a pension of 2,000 silver coins in her own name, which is enough for her to not worry about material things for a period of time."

  Li De's brows relaxed slightly.

   He had been mentally preparing for a long time before making this call, but he didn't expect the communication to go smoothly.

to be frank.

   He was quite surprised.

   This old fox didn't take the opportunity to knock them a rude deal, which was really unexpected to him, so that the belly draft in his stomach was completely useless.

   What a waste.

   "Looks like we've reached a consensus."

   "Yes, there is a consensus on pensions."

   Hearing the sentence "Yes", Li De had a smile on his face, but when he heard the attribution in the second half of the sentence, his blood pressure suddenly soared.

   Staring at Chu Guang's hologram, he said aggressively while looking for blood pressure medicine in his pocket.

   "What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that every resident of the refuge is the collective wealth of the refuge, and in addition to his personal losses, we have to compensate you for a sum of money?"

Huh?

   Can you interpret it this way?

   Chu Guang, who didn't consider this level of surprise, couldn't help secretly admiring it. He silently wrote down this excuse and planned to wait until there was a chance to use it again.

   took a second to sort out his emotions. He stared at Li De in the hologram without being humble and said righteously.

   "What do you mean by that? Do you think I only have money in my eyes?"

if not!

  Li De resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

   "Stop going in circles, just say it directly, what do you want?"

  Chu Guang said with a heavy face.

   "I seriously reflected on the reasons for today's accident. The reason why this happened is not because your people didn't protect us, but because we didn't protect our own people."

"If we could get him a body armor and a helmet, he wouldn't be killed on the spot. If we could get him a submachine gun or a shotgun, today's tragedy wouldn't even happen. If— "

  Li De couldn't help interrupting him.

   "If we could provide you with a few sets of power armor, you wouldn't even have to use us to get the fuel rods for us, right? Do you mean to say that?"

  Chu Guang actually wanted to say "yes".

   But he knew that this kind of talk was useless, and it was meaningless except to change his eyes.

   There are some things that can't be talked about, like those power armors, and those modular production units that can be plugged in and used.

   But some things...

   You can still fight for it.

"I'm so sorry, it's too much trouble for you. Besides, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." Chu Guang continued without blushing, "Our requirements are not high, in order to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, I implore You can send an engineer to support our construction. For example, help us build a production line to produce steel, cement, helmets, protective gear and weapons."

   "You call this undemanding?" Li De stared at him, his eyes bulging out, "What do you think we are, conjurers?"

   Building a production line to produce rifles is much more difficult than producing a single rifle.

   Depending on the type of process, product quality, degree of automation, and expected capacity, the cost and time required to build this production line can vary wildly.

   And it doesn't make much sense to build a single production line apart from the industrial system. The parts on the production line are worn out all the time. If these replaceable standardized parts cannot be produced, it is better to buy the product directly with that money.

   "Stop talking."

   interrupted Chu Guang, who was still trying to say something, Li De squeezed his eyebrows, paused for a while, and then continued.

"You are lucky... I happen to have a 'Magnetic Confinement Plasma CNC Machining Machine' here. It's a bit interesting, it's very accurate, easy to use, and relatively easy to maintain. We bought it from the last city. Antiques. But we have more advanced production tools, and we don’t actually use that stuff, so it’s been thrown in the warehouse for ashes.”

  Chu Guang's eyes lit up: "How much money!"

  Li De smiled and said, "I can give it to you for free, do you want it?"

  Chu Guang: "...that thing is bad?"

  Li De glanced at him unexpectedly and said with a smile: "Yes, and it's the kind that is paralyzed in every sense. Even we have to work hard to fix it."

   Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang finally understood what this guy wanted to do.

   But he had no choice, so he had to bite the bullet and ask.

"How much?"

"100,000."

  Chu Guang: "..."

  MMP!

100,000? !

  200 people work 10 hours a day, plus a total of 600 meals per day, nearly 1000CR commission, and they have to work for 27 consecutive days to earn this money!

  What is the concept of 27 days?

  Whether these people will stay here for 27 days is unknown!

   "...your inflation is really cruel."

   "How come? This is already a very conscientious price. If you don't believe me, you can ask the caravan from the enterprise to see if they can offer a cheaper price than us."

   Seeing the shriveled expression on Chu Guang's face, Li De couldn't help but smiled smugly, but he quickly coughed and restrained his inappropriate expression.

"Well, do it well, I will send you the instructions for that thing in a while. Of course, if you really can't afford it, you don't have to force it. The assault rifles and body armors we produce can also give you the ability to protect yourself. . And I bet the quality will be a lot better than what you make yourself."

   "By the way, the pension will be called later... You went too far away from the topic, I almost forgot about such an important thing."

   dropped this sentence, and Li De ended the communication happily.

   From his last second expression, Chu Guang could feel the pride in this guy's heart.

   This feeling must be very cool.

  Chu Guang tried to bring in his position.

   found that it was more than cool, it was simply cool.

   "Do you still want to use the phone?" asked Ai Si, who was waiting beside him without moving for a long time.

"no need."

   Hearing that it was no longer necessary, Ace didn't delay, reached out and turned off the holographic communication device.

   The dark green light beam disappeared from the barracks.

  's eyes swept across Chu Guang's face inadvertently, and Aisi was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise on his expressionless face.

   She clearly remembered that this man had a deflated expression a second ago, but at this moment, he could not find the slightest sign of deflation.

   Instead…

   There seems to be a flash of excitement?

   Not so much...

  Ace felt that he must have read it wrong.

   After all, they just lost a partner, and the compensation didn't seem to meet expectations. She couldn't imagine that he had any reason to be happy.

   But this old Li of the logistics department is really stingy.

  100,000 CR...

   You have to work for a long time.

(A total of 260,000 words have been updated this month. To be honest, I am quite surprised, but it is true that my body is hollowed out. Sometimes I don’t get enough sleep for six hours a day. Maybe I still need to improve my writing skills and hand speed. Gotta review.

   Start a new month, set a small goal for yourself, try your best to do it every day! Try to maintain the old tradition of ten o'clock update! If you can't do it, just shoot me lightly, and I will try my best to make it more than 8K on the premise of ensuring the quality.

   For the sake of our hard work this month, I kindly ask for half a day’s sick leave, and I’ll go to the clinic in a while... Although I know that 80% of the time is a small cold caused by the disorder of work and rest, I feel relieved to check and see if I want to take medicine.

  Sorry, only one chapter today. )
