Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!
Chapter 455 From Nest City
Near the place where he chose to pioneer, he had discovered small-scale spar veins. Because it was far away from Dragon City, the tentacles of the super corporations hadn't reached here for the time being, which gave undocumented pioneers an opportunity.
I thought it was a lucrative deal.
Unexpectedly, when Ning Lang and a group of brothers finally took root in the wilderness and built a stronghold with a complete defense system and fierce firepower, the prospecting team of the big company came here again to conduct detailed exploration of the spar veins .
It turns out that this area is a "pseudo-mineral lode", and only near the ground, there are several thin layers of ore skins, which are exposed under the effect of weathering, as if the reserves are amazing.
In fact, if you dig a little bit down, you can find that, apart from rocks, there are miscellaneous ores with extremely low content and extremely poor quality, which have no development value at all.
Big companies are not interested in this land, and Ning Lang's stronghold has become a very embarrassing existence.
In the wilderness, the cost of eating, drinking and drinking every day is ten times that of Dragon City.
Not to mention the automated defense system, which consumes a lot of spiritual energy and ammunition to defend against monsters.
Originally, Ning Lang still wanted to grit his teeth and persevere, and spent all his money. He wanted to transform the surrounding poor mountains and rivers into fertile cultivated land, and take root in the local area by planting spiritual plants.
Unexpectedly, after several months of hard work, a plague of insects devoured all the spiritual plants, and even several pioneers were engulfed by the insects, leaving only a skeleton.
Ning Lang couldn't hold on any longer, so he could only abandon his stronghold and fled back to Longcheng in desperation.
Unexpectedly, on the way to retreat, they were attacked by monsters again.
These monsters followed all the way, waiting for the night to be quiet and humans to relax their vigilance before launching a surprise attack.
Caught off guard, the pioneers suffered heavy losses, and could only give up most of the expensive construction machinery, barely fighting their way out.
When the scarred pioneers fled back to Dragon City, the number of people still alive was less than one-fifth of the number when they left the city with their heads held high to "start a business".
Although Ning Lang survived by luck, he fell into a desperate situation more terrible than death.
He is one of the organizers of this pioneering team, and the value of the start-up funds and construction machinery purchased on credit is astronomical.
A small half of this money was his savings, and most of it was borrowed by him.
Without the approval of relevant departments when leaving the city, it is impossible to get compensation from the authorities and claims from insurance companies.
Many of the pioneers who died in battle were brothers who had grown up playing games since they were young. Besides asking him to take responsibility, who else could they turn to?
In a short time, Ning Lang changed from a "Brother Wolf" with infinite glory to a existence where mice cross the street and everyone shouts and beats them.
He didn't dare to stay at home, and hid somewhere with the surviving pioneers.
Meng Chao nodded.
He had a rough idea of how the Undocumented Pioneer Team worked.
Ever since Dragon City started to expand vigorously and the "regular army" and "guerrillas" attacked from all directions, many capitals with nowhere to go are willing to spend a sum of venture capital on the "guerrillas".
Specifically, unemployed youths like "Ninglang" or "Jiguantou" who are ambitious, fearless, and have a certain fighting capacity want to fight in the wilderness.
But they did not have start-up funds to form a team, purchase weapons and ammunition, build strongholds, and construction machinery for transforming the environment, including training for pioneers to survive in the wild.
It doesn't matter, as long as you are brave enough and your fist is strong enough, all parties are willing to invest, from manpower to weapons to the knowledge, technology and equipment needed to build a stronghold, all in one package.
If you are willing to let these capitals become shares, even if the stronghold is destroyed by monsters, the pioneers will not have to bear too much responsibility.
Of course, if the stronghold is acquired by a large company or a relevant department, the capital will take away the bulk of the profits.
And Ning Lang chose another model, which is probably another model, refusing to invest in capital, and only purely borrowing and buying on credit.
In this case, as long as you gain a firm foothold in the wilderness, all the benefits will belong to you.
But once the entire army is wiped out, it means that there will be no redemption.
You know, going out of the city to open up wasteland without permission is always a gray industry.
Although the Survival Committee is willing to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye as long as it can solve the unemployment problem of the youth population and increase the actual employment rate in Dragon City.
But those who are willing to provide financial and resource support to the unlicensed pioneer team will not be good men and women after all.
Their money is not so easy to get.
Could it be that Ning Lang was eager to pay off the debt, so he got a batch of "Divine Transformation Capsules" from somewhere, and resold them to the pioneer team of Jiguantou for profit?
"Those guys just now are your brother's creditors?"
Meng Chao asked, "Do you know where they come from?"
Ning Xing bit his lip, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, my brother seems to have borrowed money from more than one place, and there have been several groups of debt collectors recently."
"It didn't hurt you, did it?"
"No, there are so many people here after all, they don't dare to mess around, at most... that's it."
Ning Xing blushed, puffed out her chest, pretended to be mature and calm, and said, "Brother Chao, don't worry, I'm fine. Today these guys are not scary. The one who came from Nest City a few days ago The gang, they are really vicious, but I am not afraid of them-this is a temporary settlement, not a hive city!"
"Nest City?"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
Nest City, from the bloody age of zombies all the way to today's super slums, a place of filth, a paradise for criminals, a lair for the lost, an incubation pool for countless gray and even black industries, a parasite living in the body of Dragon City , a cancer that must be removed.
By the way, in the memory fragments of Meng Chao's previous life, there is only the largest "Golden Tooth Nest City" among the three nest cities in Dragon City. In the middle and late stages of the monster war, there was a large-scale fire.
The fire burned and killed more than 100,000 innocent citizens living in Nest City.
It also caused countless people in Hive City who barely made a living by relying on gray industries to lose their only source of livelihood.
It also released countless criminals and lost people who were dormant in the depths of the hive city.
As a result, the social order in Dragon City deteriorated rapidly overnight, and the rate of vicious crimes increased dozens of times, almost regressing back to the chaotic era when the weak preyed on the strong and lawlessness was not established before the Survival Committee was established.
The chaos of the social order seriously weakened the fighting power of Dragon City, giving the monsters various opportunities to take advantage of, causing the monsters to launch the largest wave of counterattack in the late stage of the war. Although it failed to completely reverse the battle situation, it also caused heavy casualties to humans. Big injury.
"How did the fire in the Golden Tooth Nest City in the previous life start?"
Meng Chao kept this question in mind for the time being, and said, "Ning Xing, you are willing to bet and pay back your debts. This is a matter of course. It is not an option for your brother to hide like this.
"However, it's not a disaster for the family. No matter how much money he owes, it has nothing to do with you. It really shouldn't make you worry all day long.
"In this way, if you can trust Brother Chao, tell me where your brother is now, and I will go to him to have a good chat and come up with a solution."
"Brother Chao, if you are willing to help my brother, that would be great."
Ning Xing became excited, and her eyes shone with hope, but the light soon dimmed. She shook her head, wondering, "But, I really don't know where my brother is hiding. These days, many creditors are looking for him , he's been haunted all the time."
Meng Chao thought for a while and said, "Then, when was the last time you saw him?"
"last week."
Ning Xing said, "I forgot whether it was Thursday or Friday. Anyway, he sneaked back in the middle of the night. He didn't even wake up my mother, so he stuffed me with 500 yuan, telling me not to be discovered by anyone. Really There is no other way to take it out and use it again.
"By the way, he also said that he was sorry for the family, but as long as we persist, he can pay off the debts and get a lot of money, which is enough to make the family have no worries about food and clothing, and let my mother live a comfortable life. I also have enough cultivation resources to be admitted to a key high school."
Ning Xing is a sensible child, these words have been hidden in his heart, and no one has ever told him.
However, in the name of Remnant Star Club and Super Star Resources, Meng Chao went to the temporary settlements to conduct many public welfare activities, and he himself worked as a teacher in the martial arts training class for many days, and he was very serious in guiding the students.
Ning Xing thanked Meng Chao sincerely, and treated him as an omnipotent big brother, with a faint expectation, he couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Get a lot of money..."
Meng Chao's thoughts turned, and he quickly judged that the money Ning Lang said was not earned by reselling Shenbian capsules.
The reason is very simple.
Ning Lang's "client" is a person like Jiguantou, who doesn't have much money himself, and I'm afraid he will have to wait for the success of the pioneering before he can settle the payment with him.
Because he is a second-hand dealer, even if the payment is settled, Ning Lang will not make a lot of money, which is not enough to allow his family to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing after paying off the debt.
Relying on the power increase brought by the Shenbian capsule, go out of the city to open up wasteland again?
It is also impossible, Ning Lang's credit record has been rotten, no one will lend him money, or buy on credit the weapons and equipment and construction machinery he needs to open up wasteland.
Besides, the benefits of opening up wasteland are not clear. Even if a stronghold is successfully established and it is really acquired by a large company, it will take a year and a half of the operating cycle.
Meng Chao didn't think that Ning Lang was just trying to comfort his sister.
From Qin Hu and Ning Xing, I learned about Ning Lang's character. He is not the kind of person who will lie to his family.
So, what is he going to do...
An ominous premonition faintly emerged in Meng Chao's heart.
He asked Ning Xing for the address of the friend who played better with Ning Lang, that is, the survivor who fled back to Dragon City together.
Several survivors are living in makeshift settlements.
Telling Ning Xing to stay calm, Meng Chao left and looked for a survivor's address.
Before finding the specific house number, from a distance, I saw the team of fierce and strong men who came to press the debt just now, hurriedly leaving the temporary settlement.
