Chapter 171 The Doctor and the Bounty Hunter

  【Full server announcement: The LD-47 rifle has been adjusted in value, and it is now on the shelf of the outpost weapon store. Players who won the lottery before, please ask Boss Xia to get the equipment. The LD-47s semi-automatic precision shooter model will be registered tomorrow, so stay tuned. 】

   I heard that there are new weapons in the weapon shop.

   The players near the outpost gathered together one after another, but most of them dispersed after a while.

  The weapon itself is not expensive, 200 silver coins a piece, which is only twice as expensive as an iron-pipe rifle, but the bullets are too expensive.

  1 silver coin, 30 rounds of magazines cost 30 silver, and newbies who just entered the game can't afford it.

   Moreover, the sickle assault rifle is different from the iron-barreled rifle. The latter has an extremely simple casing structure. In theory, as long as the caliber matches, it can be used regardless of whether it is a rolled bullet or a stamped bullet. If there is not enough smokeless powder, you can even use black powder to make up for it.

  Looking at the shelves in the store, the newbies sighed.

   "Damn! This is too expensive!"

   "Hey, let's upgrade quickly."

   "Indeed, only when the level is high can you accept tasks with high rewards. This kind of automatic weapon is too difficult to maintain in the early stage!"

  Chu Guang didn’t stay at the outpost all the time, so he took a truck to Jiujiu Farm at about two o’clock in the afternoon.

  When he arrived at the farm, many young players had already returned from the Elmwood area with their prey, and were handing in tasks to Old Luca.

   Recently, Changjiu Farm is short of food, and the rewards of hunting missions are very high.

  The basic income of the hyena has increased from 5 silver coins to 8 silver coins, and the snow wolf whose fur is more valuable has increased from 10 silver coins to 15 silver coins, which is higher than the reindeer passing by the northern suburbs of Qingquan City some time ago!

   In addition to this, there are also regional prestige that can be obtained.

Many professional life players who are eager to set up factories and are not too short of money squat directly at the intersection of Yumu District, buying prey from hunter players at a high price, and then bring them to the warehouse to hand in tasks , which is equivalent to spending money to buy reputation and contribution.

   It is at least ten kilometers from Yumu District to Jiujiu Farm, and those hunters can save the time of going back and forth, and focus more on hunting books.

   As long as the price is right, how about a little less contribution or regional prestige?

  Most professional combat players don’t really need regional prestige themselves, just collecting contribution points is enough.

  As of twelve o'clock in the afternoon, fifteen mutated snow wolves and twenty-one mutated hyenas had been hung on the wooden shelf at the warehouse entrance.

  The former has an average of over 40 kilograms, while the latter is about 30 kilograms. The meat harvesting rate is almost 40%, and they can get nearly 500 kilograms of raw meat together.

   According to the speed, I am afraid that within two days, the prey in Yumu District will be wiped out by these players.

  Luka at the gate of the warehouse is very busy at the moment.

  Seeing the Master Manager coming, he immediately went up and said.

   "My lord, we need to hire two butchers to handle these prey!"

   "You can use the VM to issue tasks and find two shelter residents to do them."

   "The announcement was announced, but... no one applied for the job," Luca said with an embarrassed expression, "I have raised the hourly salary from 1 silver coin to 2 silver coins, but there are still not many people interested."

  Each task and position has a benchmark value. For example, the hourly salary of a butcher is 1 silver coin, and then the slaughter of a prey is calculated as a commission. When the NPC releases the task, it will formulate the task reward according to the benchmark value, and at the same time, it can be adjusted according to the priority of the demand. Old Luca's authority is to be able to double the baseline value.

  However, no one applied for the job even so...

  As soon as Chu Guang heard this, he immediately understood what the problem was.

  Most of the Alpha 0.8 players are in Novice Village—that is, the outpost.

  The hourly salary of 1 silver coin plus contribution points is still very impressive for new players below LV5, but it is a bit less for old players who have just experienced a wave of expansion packs.

   Especially slaughtering requires a threshold. Not everyone can use the knife skillfully like Scrambled Egg Brother, and he can shave cleanly after three strikes, five cuts and two cuts.

   "It's okay, no players are willing to do these tasks, we can find the refugees outside. I plan to go to the camp of the refugees in a while, you can come with me."

  Although he had some doubts about those refugees, after hearing what the manager said, Luca didn't say anything anymore, and nodded respectfully.

   "Yes, my lord."

   When Chu Guang took old Luca and two guards and headed towards the east gate, the situation in the refugee camp was not optimistic.

  Looking at the old man curled up in the shack with a sick face and coughing from time to time, Jiu Li's face was full of solemnity.

   This is the fourth one he saw today.

  Even if he is not a doctor, he can tell that the old man's condition is not optimistic.

   "They are sick, most likely typhoid fever," the skinny man standing next to Jiuli reminded, "It will be very troublesome if we don't deal with it as soon as possible."

  His name is Jiuxun, he is Jiuli's younger brother and his assistant.

  Before, he was actually called Xun, but his elder brother was given a surname by the lord here, and he changed his name accordingly, which can be regarded as a conversion to the local culture.

  Jiuli fell into silence, and spoke after a while.

   "You can't drive them out of here."

"We have no choice. We have no medicine, no doctor, they can't resist at all, and they will die anyway." Jiu Xun tried to persuade, "We didn't come here until half of us died! Is it just for a few and a half legs? The old man in the coffin—”

   "Who the **** are you saying is in the coffin?"

   A furious voice came from the side.

  I saw a burly man walking out from the crowd, grabbing Jiu Xun by the collar, staring at him and questioning him.

   "What do you want to do to Laozi's father? I'm right here, and I want to see who dares to take him away from here!"

  His name is Sun Cheng, he is a butcher, and he comes from a small village of a hundred people in the middle of the River Valley Province.

  Because of the looting by the looters, he had to leave his hometown with his compatriots, abandon the burned homeland, and brave the cold winter to migrate south, looking for a chance to survive.

  Like many people here, they joined the team halfway. And in order to get here, like these people, they paid a lot of casualties.

  For the sake of the bowl of hot porridge last night, under Jiuli's persuasion, he handed over the gun in his hand.

  Sun Cheng thought it was all worth it.

  However, just now, when he was collecting firewood outside, he heard that a circle of people surrounded his door.

  Guessing that something bad happened, Sun Cheng immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over without saying a word.

   What a coincidence, as soon as he arrived here, he heard what Jiu Xun said, and immediately became furious, wishing to tear the man in front of him.

  Jiu Xun remained silent, looked at him expressionlessly, and let him carry it, but his right hand had already touched the dagger in his pocket.

  Seeing the hand, several people immediately stood up from the crowd.

   Someone stood behind Jiu Xun, and someone stood behind Sun Cheng, and the two groups stared at each other.

  The atmosphere at the scene is tense!

   Obviously, Jiuxun has more helpers, and they are almost all around.

  Knowing that if there is a conflict, it must be his own side that will suffer, Sun Cheng let go of Jiuxun's collar, and squinted at Jiuli next to him.

   "I see it now, you guys are going to kill the donkey."

  Jiuli stared at him.

   "I never said that."

   "Never said that?" Sun Cheng sneered, "I know what you said just now, and everyone around you heard it. Do you need me to repeat it?"

  Jiuli looked at him calmly and said.

"I apologize for my brother's thoughtless remarks. I never said I would give up on anyone, and I have no intention of doing so. Someone is sick now. To prevent the spread of the plague, we must separate the sick from the healthy. .We got here because of unity, didn't we?"

"Unity? When I'm not around, throwing my father out is called unity? You forgot who covered you when you crossed the snow! I can see clearly, you only see yourself in your eyes!" Sun Cheng raised his chin and stared at him, "Here is what I say. My father will not go anywhere. I will take care of him personally. If you want to take him away, step on my dead body." past."

  The atmosphere fell into a stalemate.

   Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a hesitant voice suddenly came in from the side.

   "Your father's infection was caused by frostbite. If he is treated in time, he can be saved. If he is later, he may have to amputate his limb."

  Jiuli and Sun Cheng looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man in his early twenties standing out from the crowd.

  He is not tall, and his body is not too strong. His slightly curly hair sticks to his forehead, and he looks a bit vicissitudes.

  Jiuli didn't have a deep impression of him, and he probably joined their team halfway.

   "Do you know medical skills?"

  The young man nodded.

   "Understand a little, although what I know is mainly... er, you can understand it as surgery."

  Sun Cheng grabbed his shoulder and said excitedly.

   "Can you cure my father?"

"Yes." The young man swallowed and nodded slowly, "but I need you guys to help me prepare something... Then, I have to deal with his inflamed wound first. Can you move him to my place ? There is no condition for surgery here."

  Jiuli glanced at his younger brother and gave him a wink.

   "I have a stretcher over there, you go and get it."

  Jiu Xun looked reluctant, but he followed his brother's words and turned around.

  The atmosphere at the scene eased a little.

   Seeing that his father was saved, Sun Cheng, who had planned to do something before, calmed down now.

   After busy work, a group of people carried the old man to the place where the young man lived. When putting down the stretcher, Jiuli looked at the young man and asked.

"May I have your name?"

   "Yin Fang."

   "I have no impression of you, when did you join the team?"

"It's been a while, probably in the middle of the River Valley Province, and the snow was not so heavy at that time." Seeing the frozen and inflamed wound on the old man's leg, Yin Fang clicked his tongue, "I can last until now What a fate...Can you go out for a while? I need a quiet environment."

  Jiuli nodded, and walked out of the shack with his younger brother.

  Although Sun Cheng couldn't let go of his father, he followed the doctor's instructions and went out from the shack.

  Although there is no more tension, the atmosphere between the two is still not very harmonious.

  Jiuli was planning to mediate a few sentences, at this moment, an acquaintance from the same town came over.

   "Master Manager is looking for you at the door, and seems to have something to tell you."

  Hearing that the lord here is looking for him, Jiuli nodded immediately.

   "I'll go right away."

  …

  Entrance of the refugee camp.

  Jiuli saw the lord here again.

  Same as yesterday, he was wearing a blue exoskeleton, carrying a warhammer and a rifle with a ridiculously long barrel on his back, and he had an extraordinary aura.

  Jiuli readjusted his evaluation.

   Maybe it didn't take a charge at all, or even the people behind him, he alone was enough to send them all away.

  At least for myself, I have no chance of winning against him.

  It's great that there was no misunderstanding last night.

   "How are you resting?"

"Thanks to you, my lord," Jiuli bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully, "We have resettled everyone and made sure that everyone has a place to live. No one died of freezing or starving, not even the most noisy The children all slept soundly...Last night was probably the most peaceful night we have spent in a while."

   This sounds really comfortable.

  Chu Guang has a little understanding of the fun of those people on the Pioneer.

   Smiled lightly, Chu Guang didn't say much, and looked around.

   "I'm glad you can get used to it. But... the atmosphere here is a bit weird."

Jiuli smiled bitterly and said: "There were some conflicts just now... You know, we are not all from the same survivor stronghold, and many people joined our team halfway. There are too many people, it is inevitable There is friction, trust me, I can handle it."

  Chu Guang nodded.

  He doesn't want to worry about the refugees, and it may not be a bad thing for him.

  As long as they obey the laws they set and don't turn into **** conflicts.

  No more worries, Chu Guang looked at Jiuli and said.

   "I need two butchers to deal with some freshly hunted prey. Is there anyone here who can butcher?"

  Jiuli nodded immediately: "Yes, my lord, we happen to have a butcher here, if you need it, I will take you to find him."

   "Well, you lead the way."

  Chu Guang followed behind Jiuli, and soon came to a shack.

  A burly man stood at the door of the shack. When he saw Chu Guang coming with Jiuli, a trace of fear instinctively appeared in his eyes, thinking that he was here to trouble him.

  However, what he didn't expect was that Jiuli, who had a conflict with him before, didn't mention what happened just now, as if nothing happened, and recommended himself to the manager next to him in a normal tone.

"...This is the butcher I told you about. His name is Sun Cheng, and he is from the central area of ​​River Valley Province. His father suffered frostbite on his leg and is receiving treatment in a shed. If you can provide him with a room If so, I'm sure he will be happy to help you."

  Chu Guang had a slightly surprised expression.

   "Do you still have a doctor?"

  Jiuli hesitated and said.

   "The man who treated his father's frostbite was named Yin Fang. We met halfway. I'm not sure if he is a doctor, but he is the only one here who knows how to heal. We can only leave it to him."

  Chu Guang didn't speak, but nodded thoughtfully.

interesting.

   Talk to him later.

   Putting aside the matter of the doctor for now, Chu Guang looked at the man named Sun Cheng in front of him.

   "I have a job here, and I need a butcher to help us slaughter the prey we hunt. I will pay you two silver coins a day, as well as a place to live. Are you interested in this job?"

  Sun Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily.

   "I am at your service, my lord."

  Chu Guang nodded, and looked at Luka beside him.

"give it to you."

  …

   At the same time, the north of Jiujiu Farm is about one kilometer away.

  Several men with guns on their backs were squatting next to a half-collapsed low building, holding binoculars in their hands, looking at the survivor stronghold in the south.

  The group of refugees they were following camped on the east side of the survivor stronghold. The situation is terrible. It would be easy to deal with if it was just a group of refugees, but now it's not just the refugees, but also the survivors' stronghold that takes them in.

   This is a bit difficult to handle.

   "I saw the wall and the guard post...Damn it, the people there have a lot of weapons."

"show me."

   After taking the binoculars from his companion, the bearded man closed half his eyes and looked towards the survivor stronghold.

   After observing for a while, his expression gradually became serious.

   "The fence is at least three meters high, and the soldiers standing guard are all carrying uniform guns on their backs... This group of people is difficult to deal with."

  His name is Eugene, he is a mercenary, and occasionally does some bounty hunter work.

   Like now.

"what to do?"

  Hearing the question from his companion, Eugene thought for a moment and said.

   "Negotiate with them first. After all, our target is only one person. It is best if we can avoid conflict."

   Several other people also nodded, agreeing with this idea.

  However, what they didn't know was that when they were sneakily staring at Changjiu Farm, several players were already staring at them not far away.

   Edge paddling: "What do those people do?"

  The construction site boy and Brick: "I don't know."

  Big Eyes of Debt: "Refugees? That's not right, didn't we hand over their guns last night?"

   Edge paddling: "emmm...maybe it's not from the same group?"

   Not a gang?

   That is to say...

   Is it strange?

  The three little players looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces gradually became malicious. Then they looked at those people, as if they saw walking silver coins and contribution points.

  For some reason, Eugene suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

   At this moment, a hound led by a mercenary next to him barked wildly in one direction.

  The mercenary turned his head sharply, turned his gun and pointed it there.

   "Who's there!"

  Hearing the scream, the three little players quickly hid behind the bunker.

  However, almost at the same time, a shuttle of bullets swept across the **** in front of them.

   "Hey! What are you doing without even saying hello?"

   "Spoiler! Definitely a Spoiler!"

   "MMP! Who cares who the **** is, they are the first to attack, **** him!"
