Chapter 281 The Garbage Guy with Exploding Panel Data

That night.

   West of the Second Ring Road, artillery fire and gunfire continued, mercenaries were fighting against the swarming alien species under the cover of air strikes and artillery fire.

   On the contrary, the north side, which was noisy all night yesterday, is quiet tonight.

  The straight-line distance of more than ten kilometers, the steel forest is everywhere, the gunfire must be inaudible, but the explosion can always be faintly heard.

   However, Zhao Yongxu did not find it strange at all.

   A group of country bumpkins fighting with fire sticks, it's amazing that they can handle the tide.

  The battle last night must have exhausted all their strength, and even if they were not submerged in the surging waves, most of them fled with their tails between their tails.

   Looking at the silent night sky to the north, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

   "These idiots."

   If you don't have that ability, you don't know how to stay away. Isn't this asking for trouble?

   As we all know, the tide will move in the direction of dense population and small number of slime molds. Whether it is population growth or large-scale removal of slime molds, it will accumulate something like "hate value".

   Of course, it’s normal for those hillbillies not to know.

   They can stuff half of the "Book of Wealth" from "The Voice of the Rock City" in their heads. They may not know a few words, but how much can they know?

   In his opinion, there is no essential difference between those people and the beggars begging at the gate of the giant stone city, and it can even be said that they are the same kind of thing.

   looked away from the north, and Zhao Yongxu, who was standing by the window of the building, continued to look east.

  As an officer of the militia regiment, the frontline commander personally appointed by the Lord of the City, neatly resolves the tide that threatens the prosperity and stability of Boulder City, which is what he should really care about right now.

not far away.

  Two arcs streak across the night sky.

  As the four black dots fell one after another, the scorching flames engulfed the entire street and dried every grain of soil on the ground.

  A vacuum was cleared near the entrance of the underground complex, and the mercenaries began to move forward.

From    West Third Ring Road to West Second Ring Road, two new mother nests on the surface were destroyed by air strikes a few days ago, but there are still three mother nests hidden in the underground commercial complex.

  The mutation of the hatching room is random and unpredictable at all. Even after a carpet-like search, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

   Especially when the mutation happens underground.

  The underground space and rail transit are intertwined under the ten thousand zhang tall buildings, densely packed like spider webs - or **** of wool tangled in a ball.

   It is said that in the distant prosperous era, only quantum computers can help people find the fastest way home.

  It is a pity that the Boulder City does not have a quantum computer that can ask for directions, nor does it have a strategic weapon that can hit the ground tens of meters—or even 100 meters deep underground.

   But it doesn't matter.

   They have a sufficient number of cannon fodder and adequate logistics.

   With the support of indirect and direct firepower, even the occasional two powerful evolutionary bodies cannot be their opponents.

  If you are optimistic, you will be able to solve a hive hidden in the ground tonight.

   If you are not optimistic, you will have to wait two more days at most.

   Zhao Yongxu quietly waited for the good news to come from the front line, and at this time, the pilot's voice came from the communication channel.

   "The air strike is over, the target has been cleared... and returning home."

   "Well done, go back and rest, there is no more work for you tonight."

   As soon as he said this sentence, Zhao Yongxu suddenly moved in his heart, and then added another sentence.

   "By the way, take a detour to the north when you come back."

   "I want to know the situation on the North Fourth Ring Road."

   He didn't need to worry about what happened to the northern suburbs.

   said this purely to satisfy his personal curiosity.

  The pilot who performed the mission didn't care so much, and replied succinctly.

"receive."

  Two arcs drew an arc in the air, detouring a long way to the north.

   Zhao Yongxu waited for a while.

   Not long after, the voice of the report came from the communication channel.

   "Arrived over the North Fourth Ring Road and found no abnormality."

   "What about the firefight?"

   "I didn't see...it's pitch black here."

   It seems that not only the artillery fire has stopped, but the gunfire has completely stopped.

   Zhao Yongxu chuckled in his heart and sure enough, but at this moment, the voice that had been paused for a while sounded again.

   "Not only the North Fourth Ring Road, but the Changling Viaduct is very quiet, and no open flames have been found... But in the north to the Fifth Ring Road, you can see sporadic lights."

   Zhao Yongxu was stunned.

   sporadic lights?

   The survivors there didn't leave?

  Have they solved the wave...but how is that possible!

  's face was full of weirdness, Zhao Yongxu immediately continued to ask.

   "What about the clock tower on 65th Street? How's the situation there?"

The    communication channel was silent for a while.

   A definite voice soon came.

   "We are now in the sky above 65th Street, and a lot of plaque has been found on the wall of the clock tower, which is confirmed to be the remains of the mother's nest..."

   "There should have been a battle here before. The battle was quite brutal, and the ground was full of corpses...but they won."

  The whole cigarette caught between his fingers fell to the ground.

   Zhao Yongxu widened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

   "Wreck of the Brood? Are you sure you read it right?!"

   The pilot replied in a positive tone.

   "...I can be sure!"

  The cruise mission is over, and the plane starts to return.

  Looking blankly at the north sky outside the window, Zhao Yongxu was silent for a long time without saying a word.

   He couldn't figure it out.

  Without the support of air firepower, how did those people use only earthen shells and iron-barreled rifles to kill the alien species that came like a flood.

   was silent for a long time before he squeezed out a half sentence from the gap between his lips to fill in the inexplicable muttering.

"……how can that be!"

  …

   "Damn, that explosion last night was like thunder... Who do you know what's going on there?"

   "You mean south? I heard that too!"

   "Is it a wave, those blue jackets have been dealing with that thing for the past two weeks. I heard that the front line was very lively."

   "Wave? I've come to Qingquan so many times, and this is the first time I've heard that the tide will go north."

   "Maybe this year is different from previous years? After all, it wasn't so lively last year."

   "It's strange, how can Tide know where there are too many people?"

   "You don't know at first glance. My uncle who was a soldier in the Boulder City Militia told me that every gnat you kill outside will come back to you in the form of a wave in the spring of the following year."

   "Don't talk nonsense, it's really as mysterious as you said, the survivors in Qingquan City have died a long time ago!"

  Changchang Farmhouse North Gate Street, the road hotel next to the trading station, the first floor of the store is full of chaos.

  When it gets dark, it becomes a tavern for mercenaries, traders and caravan guards.

  Some people eat meat and drink, some are boxing and playing cards, and some people are talking with strangers on the road, just to earn a beer.

   As we all know, where there is wine, there are stories - although many stories are made up, but occasionally a word or two of information that sounds worthwhile is added to the nonsense rumors.

   Therefore, whether alive or not, mercenaries and traders like to come here to sit and kill time.

   "My people and I need to stay another night."

   Sun Shiqi, who was at the edge of the bar, woke up old Hook who was dozing in the back.

   In such a noisy place, it's a shame he can sleep.

   opened his cloudy eyes, and Old Hook raised his eyelids to look at the young man standing in front of the bar, and yawned.

   "No problem... Why do you suddenly plan to stay for an extra day? I remember you were in a hurry to go back and make a fortune?"

   "The order has been delayed, it's really unfortunate..." Sun Shiqi muttered and sat in front of the bar, "Give me another beer, or the one with water."

   Not only did his orders stop, but all the arms orders for the export of the entire Changchang Farm had been delayed by a day, and it was said that the inventory from the industrial area was sent to the front line.

   The little girl named Shuanghe came to the hotel to express her apology and said that the trading station was willing to compensate him for the accommodation fee of 10 silver coins.

Although Sun Shiqi wanted to complain, the cost of staying here for an extra day was more than 10 silver coins. He paid for the mercenary's wages and accommodation expenses himself, but the little girl's apology was quite sincere. , he didn't embarrass her anymore.

   Besides, it’s useless to be embarrassed, there’s nothing you can do about it.

   The front line is fighting, and the bullets sent to the ammunition depot can never be dragged back.

   When you encounter an unreasonable settlement of survivors, it is not impossible to directly rely on the goods until next year, and it is not too much to delay for a day or two.

   Doing business in the wasteland is impossible without taking some risks.

   "We're not a Boulder City here, and we don't sell fakes with water."

When selling things, he did not forget to put a label on the neighbors. Old Hook tremblingly walked to the wooden barrel, turned on the silver faucet, took a cup with a wooden cup as thick as a thigh, and returned to the bar. slam on the table.

   "5 silver coins."

   "Put it on my account."

   took the wine glass made of wood, and Sun Shiqi glanced inside.

  Good guy, he doesn't know whether the beer is mixed with water or not, but the foam alone has piled up half a glass.

   Now he has discovered that the hotel does not earn room fees at all, but the consumption of guests in the hotel.

  According to this selling method, a barrel of beer can be exchanged for a cow.

   It's so dark!

   "How's the battle on the Northern Ring Road?"

   Old Hook replied casually.

"It has ended."

   "It's over?" Sun Shiqi had a surprised expression on his face, suspecting that his ears had misheard, "You mean the tide?"

  Old Hooker: "What else could it be?"

   restrained the surprised expression on his face, Sun Shiqi said with a smile.

   "I just didn't expect it to be this fast."

   The usual wave has to wait until late March to end.

   And this hasn’t even arrived at the end of February.

   did not continue to inquire about the wave, Sun Shiqi habitually got close to the wine glass and inhaled, smelling the fragrance of wheat sprouts.

   "You brewed it yourself?"

   Old Hook replied casually.

   "The malt and hops of Brown's Farm, combined with the special fermentation process of Vault 404, I promise, this is a brew you can't drink in a tavern in Boulder."

   This line is also too proficient to pronounce.

   So much so that Sun Shiqi always felt that this guy seemed to be carrying it off his back.

   However, this is not the point of his concern.

  Sun Shiqi pointed to the wine barrel behind him and asked curiously.

   "How much does this barrel of beer cost?"

   Old Hook's eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

   "Are you interested? I'll sell it to you for 500 silver coins."

  500? !

   This wooden barrel is only 50 liters at most, and it may be about 40 liters. It is a question mark whether it can fill a hundred wine glasses.

   Only a fool buys it!

  Sun Shiqi rolled his eyes, took a sip of beer, and didn't answer Old Hook's words.

   He made a small fortune recently.

   But he's not stupid.

The smooth taste of    made him feel at ease. Just when he was about to inquire about some business information, the wooden door of the inn suddenly opened, and a dusty figure walked in.

  Old Hook looked at the man and asked skillfully.

   "Eating or staying?"

   "Neither, I'm here to find someone..."

   noticed Sun Shiqi standing at the edge of the bar, Zhou Nan's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over to him, "Hey, friend, I'm looking for you!"

  Sun Shiqi recognized him and remembered that he lived in the hotel opposite. When he first came to Changchang Farm, this person invited him to go to Boulder City with him.

   "Bring him a beer...and two skewers of charcoal-grilled lizard meat, put it on my account."

   "Okay." Hook turned and walked towards the back kitchen.

   Sitting on the bar stool next to Sun Shiqi, the merchant from the south said with a happy smile.

"thanks!"

   "You're welcome," Sun Shiqi looked at him and asked, "Is there anything you want to do with me?"

"Of course I won't bother you if it's nothing." With a smile on his face, Zhou Nan continued, "That's it, we plan to leave for Boulder City at noon tomorrow. How are you thinking about what I asked you about yesterday? "

  Sun Shiqi made a helpless expression.

   "My order has been delayed, and I don't know if it will be delivered tomorrow. Go ahead, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a day or two."

   Zhou Nan said regretfully, "That's such a pity."

  Sun Shiqi looked at him and asked curiously, "Have you gathered enough people?"

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "No, but I heard that the battle near the North Fourth Ring Road has been over, and those blue jackets have solved the mother's nest. No matter if the tide in other places is not over, at least the tide in the northern suburbs has ended. Now It's the perfect time to go to Boulder City! My mates and I studied the map carefully and followed the North Fifth Ring Road westward, then south, and it was safe to walk to Boulder City."

  Sun Shiqi looked at him enviously and said.

   "...Is it convenient to ask what business you plan to do?"

   Most of the transactions that everyone can contact are similar, but Zhou Nan did not deliberately hide it, and said with a bright face.

   "Salt and Brimstone, those are the best things to sell there, especially during the tide! Oh yes, and gas masks and Devil's Cloth from the trade post."

   Speaking of this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but sigh.

   "There are so many good things here, and they are good and cheap! Do you know how much the nutritional cream is here? The wholesale price of a ton is only 299 silver coins!"

  299 Silver Coins…

   Equivalent to 1.5 assault rifles?

  The currencies in the wasteland are all kinds of strange, even if the same currency has different values ​​in different regions, Sun Shiqi made a conversion in his head subconsciously.

   And when he realized what the price meant, he was shocked.

   "Are you sure?! The price of two assault rifles can be exchanged for a ton of nutritional cream?!"

  In Boulder City, the retail price of nutritional cream is 1~2 chips per kilogram, and the wholesale price is 300~400 chips per ton.

   Replaced with drone assault rifles, at least two!

   And this is based on the fact that the price of the latter is also not cheap.

   Noticing the surprise on Sun Shiqi's face, Zhou Nan gave him a strange look, as if it was an accident that there were still people who didn't know about it.

   But thinking that this man has only been here for two days, Zhou Nan was relieved and continued with a smile.

"Isn't it amazing? I was also taken aback when I first found out! I suspect that the nutritional paste produced by the Didiwei food processing factory costs less than 200 silver coins per ton! If it wasn't for money, I would like to The factory is set up!"

   Long-term farm banks can lend, but not everyone can lend.

   unless two conditions are met.

   or have technology.

   or have equipment.

   Or, a sufficient "contribution" to the local economy.

   As a trader from the south, he happens to have none of these three things.

   However, this did not prevent him from transporting the nutrient paste to the south to exchange for grain or livestock, and then transporting the livestock back for silver coins.

   Zhou Nan researched for a whole day yesterday and found that the demand for livestock here is quite strong. A two-headed cow is sold to Changchang Farm, and at least it can be exchanged for three or four thousand silver coins!

   Pull two or three tons of nutritional paste to the south, and with the local currency in exchange, you can easily buy one or two double-headed cattle from the farmers and ranchers there.

   Seeing this friend's eyes full of heartbeats, Zhou Nan asked with a smile.

   "Brother, do you want a partnership? We can set up a factory with a little money. I have researched that as long as we buy some second-hand equipment from Jushi City, we can set up this factory with 200,000 chips."

  Sun Shiqi admitted that he was really moved.

   But after hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head.

   "...I admit that this proposal is very tempting, but it's too far to go to Jinchuan Province, and it might take half a month to go back and forth."

  The northern suburbs have the weapons and food that Honghe Town lacks the most, while the latter has the mines and people the former needs.

   Bringing slaves and mines from Honghe Town to sell them here, replacing them with rifles and grains and then dumping them back, can also make a lot of money.

  There are many ways to make a fortune, he can't eat all of them alone, and it is the kingly way to manage this trade route in his hand!

  Sun Shiqi has already thought about it.

   He plans to save some money to buy a few trucks, form a fleet, and sell the copper mine business from here to Honghe Town.

   The demand for copper mines here is the strongest, it will be used for laying wires and making bullets, and the price is always so stable, and the cost-effectiveness of transportation is much higher than that of steel.

   After earning hundreds of thousands of silver coins, he plans to buy a piece of land on North Street, build a warehouse first, and then build a mill.

   If you are lucky enough to catch up with the autumn harvest, you can grind the harvested corn and wheat into flour, whether it is sold to Honghe Town, Boulder City or Garbage City, you can make a lot of money.

  The unit price of grain is not high, but the gross profit is never low. Not everyone wears shoes, but everyone has to eat.

  Last year was a cold winter.

   This year should be a fat year, and the price of food must be very cheap.

  Sun Shiqi was thinking about the future in his heart. Zhou Nan, who was sitting next to him, was a little regretful, but he didn't say much and raised his glass.

   "It's such a pity. If we join forces, we definitely hope to become the largest grain merchant in Qingquan City."

   "No regrets, there are many opportunities to make a fortune," Sun Shiqi drank a cup with him and said with a smile, "I wish Boss Zhou his business will become bigger and bigger!"

   "Haha, borrow brother Jiyan! I'll give you a toast!"

   "I respect you!"

   The two of them drank red light, cup after cup, chatting happily.

   Old Hook, who was sitting behind the bar, listened to the two of them bragging, with a smile on his wrinkled face, and occasionally gave a few words of praise.

   No matter how rich they get, the money for drinking is all theirs.

   Of course he was glad they drank more.

   In the end, Zhou Nan leaned out against the wall, while Sun Shiqi himself lay on the bar for half the night, and was carried back to the room by the hotel waiter in the middle of the night.

   Woke up early the next morning and saw the bill on the bedside table. Sun Shiqi's drowsy head was instantly awake, and his face turned green.

   "220 silver coins?!"

   What did he drink last night? !

  …

  Official website forum.

   Usually this point is supposed to be the peak period for players to go online, and there are no people on the official website, but today this point is very lively.

   quit smoking: "I can't get online!"

  I am the darkest: "Me too! Strange."

  Similar posts appeared one after another, and many LV9 players were pleasantly surprised to find that they had broken through the bottleneck as soon as they put on their helmets!

   In particular, the most surprising one is undoubtedly the trash man.

   He has been stuck on this hurdle of LV9 for almost a month!

   This time I finally broke through!

   Picking up trash, level 99: "Hahahaha, wake up! I finally wake up!"

   Looking at the prompt in the upper right corner of the official website, Jun Jun burst into tears with excitement.

   How long has it been since the number was built?

   As the first batch of Europeans to enter the game, and it is still an account exclusively for the European Emperor, it should have been an exciting thing, but it just happened to catch up with the once-in-a-year cold winter.

   Coupled with the debuff of "experience is more difficult to obtain", he was able to successfully upgrade to LV10 after the A round of testing was almost over.

   Seeing the "junior people" successfully awakening one by one, I am afraid that only he himself knows the sadness.

   is really not easy!

  Ye Shi: "Fuck, Junkie has awakened?!"

  The fleeing mole rat in the canyon: "Shocked! Will it become a dead claw?!"

   Picking up trash, level 99: "It's possible, but the strength is really nothing to say. I feel like I can fight with the dead claw at the west gate! (bare teeth

   Fang Chang: "Brother, let me show you the attribute panel!"

  Tail: "Hurry up! Let me be healthy! (｀ω

  Under the instigation of everyone, Jun Jun finally couldn't resist the urge to pretend and posted his attribute panel in the post.

The moment the    property panel was posted, the comment area below the post instantly boiled over!

Tail:"?"

  Quit Smoking: "???"

  Ye Ten: "What the hell?!"

  Commander Quan Shui: "Are you so open?!"

  The edge of the water: "Mom...this attribute is too outrageous!"

  Old Bai: "Is the power attribute serious?!"

  The construction site boy and the brick: "Please plan to cut a knife quickly!"

   In just a few minutes, something like "The balance has collapsed" and "The combat power has collapsed" all popped up in one go.

   These people have already done everything they can to achieve their goals, as if this beta server will not be able to operate the next day without a slash.

   Of course, some people are joking.

   It's just that this joke is not too funny for picking up trash at level 99.

   Seeing that everyone started Aite’s plan, Jun Jun immediately panicked and hurriedly said.

   "Hey! I'm a little bigger than you anyway. Is the attribute high too much?"

  Don't talk shit: "It's too much! Even if the attribute is high, you have to post it and pretend to be forceful! (Crazy

   This is too dog!

   Just when Junkie was fighting against the Confucian scholars, an announcement suddenly popped up on the official website, which could be regarded as a relief for him.

  Because of this sudden update announcement, both players and cloud players were attracted to the past.
