An unsolicited invitation from the Silver Star Society.
Lu Wenshuo's attitude was quite sincere and not as arrogant as the person he had met before. But when Lu Ning looked at that hand, she began to hesitate.
"Can I ask the reason?"
"I know Chu Jianting's character well, and I have some considerations in sending him to go with you. If you can get along well with him and allow him to accept your orders, you must not be someone who only gives orders verbally. Industry The actions of the park at least show that you have a certain degree of leadership and decision-making ability, and the transactions you discussed with me before are enough to prove your foresight and overall concept. In summary, although your strength is not top-notch, you have the development potential that I am optimistic about .”
"I didn't even know I was so good." Lu Ning laughed and asked, "Then, if I join, do I have to complete the training plan like Chu Jianting?"
"Yes, that is a necessary process for us to ensure the survival rate of newcomers."
"That's right...that might not work."
The rejection did not make Lu Wenshuo look surprised. He just nodded slightly and retracted his outstretched hand.
"Can you let me hear the reason this time?"
"I don't have time to spend on such training. After this is over, I will start the promotion test. When there is a guy who keeps running ahead, you can't help but speed up to catch up, right?"
"I understand, but people are different and their progress is also different. With all due respect, you are not suitable for promotion right now -"
"Thank you, but I can't wait."
For this reason, Lu Wenshuo no longer tried to persuade him, but sighed regretfully, walked to the truck, and extended the same invitation to Xuan Zhitong.
This time the invitation was still unsuccessful.
From Xuan Zhitong's intermittent words, Lu Wenshuo could also understand what kind of situation she was in.
A team has a large number of people, probably nearly twenty people. Most of them rely on saving points to provide the three or four most talented people in the entire team. In this way, they "pile" nearly three people. Four thousand people come.
A type of survival that is uncommon, but always present. Lu Wenshuo could say that the dozen or so were almost a burden. They earned about a thousand points in the testing field by living hard, selling teammates, hugging others and being shameless, and then gave half of them for the minority to learn from. There are no more than three reasons why such a team can be formed. The first is that the family is maintained by blood relationships, the second is that they hope to increase the strength of the entire team by raising monsters, and the third is for revenge.
He didn't ask what the reason was, but it was impossible for people like Xuan Zhitong to be absorbed into the Silver Star Club just because they were from a team like Xuan Zhitong, because such people often have a better emotional connection with the team than with the organization.
The failure of the invitation did not affect Lu Wenshuo's cooperation with them here. After unloading the goods, he and Lu Ning had already begun to discuss the intention of the entire mission.
"First of all, fifteen days to collect supplies, seven days of survival needs, conservatively speaking, it is also a twenty-two-day survival scenario. From this point of view, it is basically certain that the two shelters cannot stop the attack of the evil claws." Lu Ning said.
"Yes. Theoretically, the attack should take place fifteen days later, which is twelve days from now. There is more than one Evil Claw, so that's probably what it means. And what it means to survive an attack led by Evil Claw …”
"Duration. The next seven days should be during the attack. This setting is because our joining may delay the time when the shelter is breached. But I don't think we can prevent the refuge from being breached."
"Why do you say that?"
"I'm used to starting from the worst possibility. First of all, how do you think the strength of Evil Claw, which is the target of this hunting, compares with the plasma beast?"
"It should be stronger in some aspects."
"Then there are a total of twenty of us this time. Each of us will be given a quota to hunt one, that is twenty. This is a lineup that hundreds of people in the two shelters cannot handle no matter what. Even if On this basis, the difficulty has been reduced, don’t forget that this is an attack by the Evil Claw [Leader].”
"Warcraft tide. It seems that you have also thought of this. What we are about to face is not just a few evil claws. But thinking about it on the other hand, this also means that the difficulty of hunting them has to be lowered by one level."
Lu Ning listened, thought for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
"I asked Xuan Zhitong to set up a minefield in the industrial park, but the plasma beast is probably unharmed... If the evil claws are at this strength, it will be useless even if the threat level is lowered."
"Huh? Do you know what's going on over there?"
"Let Xuan Zitong set off the detectors. After the explosion, some of the detectors still lost their signals, but they were not killed." Lu Ning shook her head regretfully, "It seems that even if it is unexpected, it still can't be killed. it."
"What if... the Evil Claw is not this extremely powerful type?"
"You want to say it's a team command type? Although I've considered it, it's not very likely."
Lu Wenshuo smiled: "Why? It was obviously Evil Claw who led the attack, but you don't think they are team monsters?"
"Strength, the difficulty of team-type monsters is the bodyguard. Then the difficulty will be superimposed without an upper limit. According to your theory, this is not in line with the difficulty of the first-order test field, right?"
Lu Ning looked at Lu Wenshuo and couldn't help but laugh.
"Have you almost tested it? Tell me what you have planned, or have you already completed the plan? I will cooperate with you when it is necessary to cooperate. Don't always ask questions!"
"Hahahaha, okay, that's it. You are indeed not suitable for the Silver Star Society. Lu Ning, after you advance, go to the second-level distribution center to find someone named Li Mingdeng."
"After all this time, you still haven't given up on recruiting me to join your gang?"
"Professional habits, hahaha, okay, okay." Lu Wenshuo suddenly lowered his voice, got closer to Lu Ning, and whispered, "Go to Li Mingdeng and say that I recommend you to take the [Rosicrucian] membership qualification exam. . Without the restrictions you worry about, it can also help you quickly catch up with the person you want to catch up with."
Lu Ning was slightly stunned.
=======================
In the early morning, two trucks filled with supplies drove back to the gate of the shelter. The guard guarding the gate showed a somewhat excited look. No matter who it was, having someone come back meant they had made money.
Then, the doorman of Vault 33 watched with disappointment as the two cars drove into the opposite garage.
"Hey! Why are you so disappointed?"
Mo Lianren was sitting on a motorcycle, and there were two sacks of potatoes tied to the back of her car, but they were insignificant compared to the two trucks piled like mountains.
"It's so cool to be in No. 34... you can get so many things back in one trip." The guard looked at the opposite side with envy and rubbed his belly. He had only eaten two meals for several days, and they were pancakes made from whole grains, which were barely enough to fill his stomach. It's not that there isn't enough food in the shelter, it's that the winter is still very long.
Mo Lianren pushed the car into the garage here, and someone immediately came over to count the things she brought back. As a collector, she left a dozen potatoes for her, and the rest were packed away.
When she tossed the potatoes back to the accommodation area, she was almost hit by a person rushing out at the corner.
It was Qiu Ren. He didn't hug Lu Wenshuo's lap. When he got here, he relied on the force he had trained several times in the distribution center and managed quite well. He was allowed to join the patrol because he knew how to punch and kick.
But now he looked really panicked.
The patrol team is not only responsible for security duties, they also have to keep an eye on every big and small incident in the entire shelter. If the people here are dissatisfied, they are the first to face the fire.
"what happened?"
"A group of lunatics! A group of lunatics!" Qiu Ren hurriedly arranged his clothes to make himself look less embarrassed, "They started causing trouble again during the food distribution today!"
"Again? It seems very common."
"A few pieces of pancakes and a bowl of porridge, what's there to argue about? They actually got into a fight! They also said that they should eat more if they contributed more to the base construction. Bah! Even if I put two pieces of mud on the wall, I still have the nerve to say that I did it. Contribution! There are also people who complain that children are given a share if they don’t do anything... I have to call someone, I can’t bear it.”
"How many people are there?"
"Forty or fifty, not counting those who haven't come back! Sooner or later it will be even more chaotic!"
Qiu Ren said a few words and sped up the stairs.
Mo Lianren shook his head and walked towards the cafeteria. He heard a noise before he reached the door.
"Let go! We, mother and son, have four pieces of cake!"
"Open your eyes and see if that's four pieces? How many pieces did you hide? Don't think I didn't see it!"
"I've been working for a whole day, and this is what I'm eating? There's not even a drop of starch in it. How about feeding it to pigs, right?"
"What about the things we collected when we went out? Since they are divided evenly, we have to see it a little bit, right? Did you keep it for yourself?"
As soon as Mo Lianren appeared from the door, she was immediately seen, along with the potatoes in a net bag in her hand.
"Where did this girl come from? How can one person have so much food?"
"I didn't see her anywhere I worked today. What kind of work can these thin arms and legs do?"
"She looks pretty good, I'm afraid she's the new mistress of that old pervert named Zhang!"
"What a sin! We work hard to eat pancakes and porridge, but a little girl like this doesn't do anything to enjoy the hot food!"
A group of people with red eyes rushed forward aggressively. An obvious goal united the group of people who had been yelling at each other immediately.
Just when the first fat woman's hand was about to grab Mo Lianren, she took a step back, flicked the net bag in her hand, and a dozen potatoes immediately flew into the canteen. The crowd paused for a moment, and the people at the back immediately turned around and pounced on the potatoes, while the people in the front began to push away the people behind them, and the scene suddenly became even more chaotic.
Mo Lianren turned around and threw the last potato in his hand, and walked towards the accommodation area. When he passed the corner, he saw another patrol team with a wry smile.
"Sorry..."
The young man was a little at a loss. Compared to the people who were dawdling in the shelter, Mo Lianren was a bit dusty after going out, but she was still cleaner. Such women were almost always in the supply collection team, and it was rare to see them even if they knew there were shelters.
"There are some unfamiliar faces. Is someone here?"
"Recently...there are indeed rumors that some shelters have been breached. A large convoy came in the early hours of yesterday, and about three-quarters of them came to our side."
"Is there enough room?"
The young man scratched his cheek, looking even more ashamed.
"Where's the food?"
"The most they have is clothes and bedding..."
Mo Lianren let out a long sigh.
"What about those people?"
"Mostly the elderly and children..."
It is absolutely normal to drag your whole family to join here. Mo Lianren could only shake his head, patted the young man on the shoulder, and walked to his room. The young man hesitated to speak. He opened his mouth but could not say anything in the end.
When Mo Lianren returned to the door of his room, he found that the door was wide open. The narrow room that could accommodate eight people was covered with wooden boards and bedding. Sixteen people were crowded in, and his belongings were stuffed in. They moved to the far corner of the room and were piled together with the trash cans.
"It sucks." Mo Lianren tilted his head, with no expression on his face.
