My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!
Chapter 337 Smell it, what does it smell like?
At 3:40 in the afternoon, the sky cleared after the rain in the depression.
The thunderstorm that had raged all night had completely stopped.
It rained for nearly ten hours, not only bringing a terrifying 700ML of rainfall, but also outlined two rainbows, one shallow and one deep, hanging high above the depression.
And if you can stand at a distance and look at the entire depression at this moment, you can see that at this time, the silver-gray iron stone mountain has been washed away by all the dust by the rain, two lines of smoke rising along the sky, and a rainbow. Intertwined.
Tranquility, peace.
Just like the small fishing village that hides from the world, under the protection of Somo, there are no disputes and no harassment from alien races. Although there are few people in Hope Village, its cohesion can undoubtedly be called the forefront of the wasteland!
Of course, on this day worth celebrating, the village was much more lively.
Standing on the mountain road, two militiamen guarding the entrance to the mountain cautiously looked into the distance while taking a break and chatting from time to time.
The militiaman on the left is called Su Yuan. Because he shares the same surname as Sumo and because he was a fitness instructor before, he was lucky enough to stand out in the militia selection.
The militiaman on the right is Chen Kai, the cousin of the village chief Chen Shen. He also has tendons and extraordinary strength.
Relying on these two people to guard the gate of the mountain, not only the management is relieved, but even the villagers also joked:
This is the door god of our Hope Village!
But today, the two goalkeepers were obviously in a trance.
"Kaizi, Kaizi, quickly open your game panel and see if your brother has sent you a message. This is making me anxious to death. Quickly ask how much this will sell for!"
When he said this, Su Yuan looked nervous and even swallowed twice in an exaggerated manner to relieve his inner anxiety.
He is in a hurry!
It’s the kind of eagerness that can’t be faked at all!
When he was called, Chen Kai first looked around, and after not observing any suspicious figures, he shook his head helplessly:
"Brother Yuan, don't be anxious. Look at what you are like now. You can't even hold the spear steady. I'm not talking about you. It's only been less than two hours since we were put on guard duty. This is your first time. You’ve asked me four times, what’s wrong, are you still worried that the things ordered by the director won’t be sold? Will they fall into our hands?”
"Just be patient and I guarantee that when you go up there later, they will definitely give you a satisfactory number!"
As Chen Shen's cousin, Chen Kai obviously knew more and was more calm. At least his hand holding the iron spear was very steady, and he didn't look flustered at all.
But Chen Kai didn't know that the more he acted like this, the more panicked the man standing opposite him became.
This time, the village purchased the colloid of the white sap tree at a price that even a large shelter could hardly imagine!
Like oaks, white sap trees are not uncommon in the wasteland.
This leads to the fact that if you want to acquire something and clear the market inventory immediately before others react, you have to spend a lot of materials to replace it.
It is simply not enough to complete this sky-high purchase just by relying on the taxes each villager paid to the village after harvesting the grain.
Ever since, "crowdfunding" has begun!
As the initiator of the plan, Sumo certainly set an example and subscribed for 50% of the quota.
Of the remaining 50%, 8% is taken away by the village's remaining taxes, and the remaining 43% is covered by the villagers' personal savings.
Of course, because each villager had different food reserves during the previous welfare disaster harvest, the amount of materials each villager gave during the subscription this time was also different.
To be more ruthless, he would withdraw 80% of his storage quota, leaving only three months of rations during the disaster, to prevent the dilemma of losing even his stuttering if the operation fails.
The more normal option is to keep half a year's rations and give 70% to the village, which is the safest choice.
But besides these two types of people, there are also a few Wolf Slayers.
Su Yuan is one of them!
At this time, after hearing Chen Kai's comforting words, Su Yuan's hands were shaking even more, and even his forehead was covered with a layer of sweat in such a cool weather.
"Kaizi, Brother Yuan is not trying to trick you. This time, others invested 70% of the supplies, and many people invested 80%. Do you know how much I invested, Brother Yuan! A full 95%, the food harvested before, I basically only have half a month’s worth of rations left, and the rest will be handed over to me for operation. If I lose money, your Brother Yuan will go back to before liberation!"
"It's not that I don't believe in the director. Didn't we all see it on the public notice board? The director subscribed for 50%. This is not a small amount, but you also know that I almost starved to death. People, if the director hadn't forced an end to the blizzard, if you hadn't picked me up from outside, I might have died in the ice and snow a month ago. How could I have survived to see our village getting better and better? How can I stand here with you in this cannibalistic apocalypse and talk about harvest?"
Su Yuan burst into tears when he said this.
Not all people who can live in Hope Village have a good life!
Not to mention Su Yuan, more than 60% of the people in the village today were lucky enough to join in after almost losing their lives.
Chen Kai pursed his lips when he saw that this tough man who had been frostbitten all over his body and still insisted on working in the fields without shedding a single tear was in such a situation now.
Then, he responded angrily: "Brother Yuan, we all know what you said, and you can tell me the truth. If it weren't for the director, I would have had to explain the situation in the saltpeter mine. You don't know that the Maeda Japanese forced us to work." When we were young, each of us would work for a day and receive a potato smaller than a fist."
"It's just potatoes that were thrown on the ground in the civilized era and no one would pick them up. At that time, I would think about it every day when I fell asleep, thinking about when I could eat two or three. I’m really hungry. You spent a whole day digging in the mine to eat so much. I feel like if the director hadn’t come to save us, I, Chen Kai, would have told me where we were after digging for a week, but in the end...
"When I saw the director wearing armor and directly blowing open the camp gate, and rushing in and killing everyone, haha, thinking about that scene now, it feels so good!"
"At that time, when all of us were standing on top and saw the director killing the kobolds, we were so excited. These dog thieves had oppressed us for so long, and finally we could seize the opportunity, so with this force Han Jin, we don’t know where we got the strength at that time, so we rushed down and followed the director, but do you know what happened next?”
Having said this, Chen Kai paused, and Su Yuan on the opposite side was also interested. Although he was worried, he still responded cooperatively:
"What? Come on, don't try to tantalize me at this time!"
Without giving it away, Chen Kai nodded and continued: "Hey, I knew you wouldn't guess. This matter can be regarded as my cousin's dark history. He usually doesn't let me tell others. Can you tell me today? Don’t spread the word!”
"At that time, we had been hungry for so many days, and we rushed down and fought fiercely for a while. Everyone fell to the ground with hypoglycemia and couldn't help it. Our brains were unclear. My cousin Chen Shen didn't know where the brain circuit came from. , thinking that the director is a general who has traveled through time in ancient times, and he is also stupid, so he directly hooked up Lu Bu, the most powerful person in the Three Kingdoms. Let us imitate the way in the TV series, bow our heads and see what this general Lu Bu will do. They won’t take us in!”
"These other people, after being hungry for so many days and being frightened like this, naturally have no choice but to do this. But you know, what was I thinking when we called Lord Lu Bu to take us in? ?"
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Think you can finally join the director and enjoy the blessings?"
"No, no, no, how can it be so profound? Do you still think about this when you are about to freeze to death and starve to death?"
Chen Kai shook his head: "What I was thinking at the time was whether General Lu Bu could give us some food from the supplies seized from the camp for the sake of us following the charge and kneeling down now. And I didn’t think much about asking for it at the time, I just wanted two potatoes. Really, even if I were asked to die, I would be willing to die if you gave me two potatoes to eat.”
"But it was at this time that the director, oh, the director, he is such a good person!"
"At that time, supplies were so tight that the director forced us to find all the food and opened a big pot in the camp. He didn't take any of the potatoes and let us eat them all in the pot."
"In that meal, I ate two and a half, and they were two and a half as big as a fist. I almost bit off my tongue when I ate it. Really, at that time, I felt that I had never eaten so well in my life. I drank two full bowls of the potatoes and even the soup in which the potatoes were cooked later.”
After a pause, Chen Kai added: "I know you might not believe me if I tell you now, but before leaving, the director not only pointed out the location of Candlelight Village to me, but also put down a stack of big cakes for us. From that time on, from the moment I saw the pie, I thought that if the director took me in, as long as he gave me something to eat, even if I sacrificed my life for him, I would be willing."
"So this time, don't think I'm as stable as an old dog. I also voted 95%, and my cousin voted even more. He voted in everything except for the remaining week's rations!"
After saying so much in one breath, Chen Kai was also a little out of breath, but it could be seen from his expression that he was passionate about the village and
Loyalty to Soma!
"And Brother Yuan, even though we are just guards at the gate now, you also know that with the director, our village will definitely grow bigger and bigger, and it is not impossible to even restore it to what it was like on earth. There will definitely be more people by then. What a great person. If we want to maintain our current status and climb up, we have to use more brains and make more contributions, instead of being as anxious as we are now."
"Don't you want to know the status of the transaction? We don't need to know the numbers, you just need to smell the smell!"
Pointing to the smoke floating down on the top of the mountain in the breeze, Chen Kai smiled and said nothing.
"smell?"
Standing opposite Chen Kai, Su Yuan accepted Chen Kai's earnest instructions that were almost accusatory. Instead of being angry, Su Yuan nodded in agreement and smelled it seriously.
In the first second, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
The next second, his doubts turned into surprise.
But in the third second, he seemed to suddenly realize it and nodded repeatedly.
He was familiar with the smell that came from the mountains. It was the smell that comes when beef and carrots are mixed together, wrapped into buns and steamed in a steamer.
After previously seizing the supplies of these criminals in Zeus Sanctuary, the village had been evaporated once to celebrate.
At that time, the smell and fragrance made everyone unable to concentrate on their work for the whole day. It was not until everyone had eaten dinner that normal order was restored.
As a person who is afraid of hunger, Su Yuan remembers this smell very, very vividly!
But now, on this ordinary day, I smell this smell again, smell this smell that represents "celebration".
Looking at Chen Kai with a leisurely look on his face, and feeling that his IQ was severely suppressed, he stood back silently without speaking.
Su Yuan's look made Chen Kai, who was standing aside, nod calmly.
But just when he wanted to continue talking, his sharp eyes caught a black spot on the horizon.
"Su Yuan, 9 o'clock direction!"
"Always ready to signal!"
Without guns and encountering unknown enemies, the two militiamen's gatekeeping mission is more like a vigilance, as long as they pass the message up.
But as the black spot got closer and closer, their bodies slowly relaxed.
Although the car that appeared was slightly "fatter" than before, they could still recognize that it was Sumo's Tihu.
After the car stopped, the group of people who got off the Dihu were all very familiar to them.
It is the intelligence team that appears and disappears every day.
Considering that Chen Kai had just reminded himself to use his brain more a few minutes ago, he looked at Pei Shao who was walking at the front with a lost expression on his face, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Su Yuan had a smile on his face.
At the same time, he stepped forward to meet him, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Team Leader Pei, the mission has been completed, thank you for your hard work!"
When he heard someone greeting him, Pei Shao, who was worried, nodded and kept walking: "Well, the mission is over, I'm ready!"
When he said this, because there were too many things in his mind and the road was slippery, Pei Shao accidentally fell and fell right into Su Yuan's arms.
But the next second, when Pei Shao raised his head and was about to say thanks, he saw Su Yuan looking at him with an aunt's smile.
Pei Shao: "???"
Su Yuan: "Team Leader Pei, I know you are anxious to find the answer, but don't be anxious. Smell it carefully. What does this smell like?"
Like the Riddler, Su Yuan's face was full of tenderness, and at the same time it also contained a hint of suppressed intelligence.
Instinctively, after hearing Su Yuan's commanding tone, Pei Shao sniffed it subconsciously.
Um?
After a rainy day, there is a fishy smell of earth.
But there is a fresh smell of revival of all things.
The smell of exhaust from the Tihu has not dissipated on the intelligence team.
Wait until the rainy day is over, what will it taste like?
Think about it, in the past six hours or so, under the command of Sumo, the Dihu changed directions twelve times, always circling within 100 kilometers near the depression.
I'm thinking about the trip I and others will take, the smell, and the suddenness in such weather.
Pei Shao suddenly understood why Somo wanted to travel on this day in such a harsh environment.
"It turns out that the director's idea has always been to alert the enemy and see if the aliens will reveal their flaws. In order to prevent there being a traitor in the base, he even deceived me."
"Fuck, Pei Shao, Pei Shao, even a janitor can think of you, as the intelligence captain, how can you be so stupid!"
Suddenly "understanding" Su Mo's true thoughts, Pei Shao suddenly trembled and stood up from Su Yuan's arms.
Then, his face showed a trace of solemnity.
"Brother Su Yuan, I wonder if you have the idea of joining the intelligence organization. We really need someone with such meticulous observation like you!"
"Oh? Captain Pei doesn't deserve it. Every position has its own meaning. The intelligence team is very important, and so are our gatekeepers!"
Su Yuan, who knew that he was a "big-tailed wolf", was also shocked when he saw Pei Shao's appearance.
But his humble look made Pei Shao nod again.
With a feeling of sympathy, Pei Shao did not continue to speak. After patting Su Yuan's shoulder with some emotion, he disappeared on the mountain road with the intelligence team.
"Kaizi, your brother Yuan is doing well this time, isn't he?"
Looking at the dumbfounded Chen Kai beside him, Su Yuan raised his hand quite proudly.
But what greeted him was a sharp shout from Chen Kai:
"Stop it! The director is here!"
