Chapter 206 Gold Diggers and Treasures
The Salvation Society is a mysterious organization that emerged in the wasteland in the past ten years. Its origin is unknown and its founder is unknown. Although it was established only a short time ago, it has expanded extremely rapidly.
This is attributed to the fact that the Salvation Society has strict control over personnel within the organization, and outsiders cannot enter at all. Secondly, due to the nature of the Salvation Society, the purpose of the organization, as its name seems to be, is to save the world.
It is said that the people of the Salvation Society will not only save the survivor base and villages from the evil monsters, but also generously share many resources, and the corresponding reward seems to only require some knowledge.
Knowledge is worthless in the wasteland, but resources are the most precious wealth. The Salvation Society is probably the only one who can exchange resources for knowledge.
The Salvation Society's explanation for this is that their purpose of collecting knowledge is to one day gather the wisdom of living beings and find a way to fight against the evil.
Although the survivors in the wasteland did not believe this, but being able to exchange cheap knowledge for resources, no one dislikes this kind of transaction, so many other organizations and survivors are very welcome to the Salvation Society. manner.
Just like now.
"Hey! Hey! Over here! Over here!" The scavenging thugs were shouting at the people of the Salvation Society, and many of them were waving their arms.
The Salvation Society's attention was successfully attracted, and the ten-man convoy immediately stopped. A team member at the front used an information processing device similar to a telescope to scan the opponent, and immediately reported to the rear:
"Captain, the identity has been confirmed. He is a scavenger gang affiliated with "Ape Hammer", but he has not been able to see "Ape Hammer" himself. No other biological signals were detected within five kilometers. It is suspected that he was separated after being attacked by a monster. Please indicate next steps. "
In the ten-man convoy, a middle-aged man in the middle, after examining the messy appearance of the thugs, nodded and said:
"Stay alert and stay close to contact."
"receive!"
The convoy immediately changed direction and drove towards the thugs. The thugs breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They had brought nothing with them in order to escape, and now they were starving to death and thirsty.
"No one is allowed to move, raise your hands, throw your weapons to the ground, and repeat it again. Once aggressive behavior is discovered, we will fight back immediately, so in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, please cooperate."
The Salvation Association usually consists of ten people, and everyone has extremely high fighting qualities. Three people are responsible for holding guns and shouting, two people are guarding the surroundings, and four people quickly step forward to disarm all the weapons of the thugs.
The thugs did not resist, and complied with the instructions honestly. The whole process took less than a minute. After confirming that the thugs were not threatening, the Salvation Society personnel put down half of the robbery, which relieved the tense atmosphere.
This is understandable, after all, in the apocalyptic wasteland, vigilance is never too much.
"Okay, don't bother*. We have no fighting ability at all now. We have no energy to do anything. If we have this ability, it's better to hurry up and give us food and water for a week! I'm going to starve to death!"
Some of the thugs were already shouting. When the captain heard this, he frowned and shook his head: "This is impossible. We are a salvation society, not a charity society."
"Humph, I know, so we will exchange information. Don't you like this the most?"
Intelligence can also be regarded as a kind of knowledge. Upon hearing what the thug said, the captain's expression did not change, but actually he became a little more energetic. He quickly asked:
"Yes, but the specific share of resources will be decided based on your intelligence value after evaluation."
"Don't worry. With this information, you guys would have lost money in exchange for a week's worth of food. Come on, listen carefully. Just walk from here. About thirty or forty kilometers away, you can see a gathering place village."
Someone among the thugs said this while pointing the captain in the direction of Kano Village where Liao Ji was previously.
"In that village, there was a man who was holding a powerful weapon that we had never seen before that was stolen from the servitor and could change its form at will. I believe you are definitely interested in that weapon. It is comparable to Danger level. No, no, no, even a disaster level weapon!"
Upon hearing the thugs' words, the faces of the members of the Salvation Society changed slightly. Especially when they saw the "disaster level" Zhuhe weapons, many team members showed even more excitement.
The captain was more calm and immediately asked: "How can we trust you?"
"Believe it or not, haven't you seen that I'm like this? If it weren't for that bastard - the pretty boy who hit the jackpot with that weapon, how could our boss have died to that kind of person!"
"Your boss is dead?" The captain looked surprised.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, why would it be our turn to ask for your help now!"
There is a reason why the thugs talk so wildly. Firstly, they are used to being wild. Secondly, the Salvation Society has always been a good person, so they are unscrupulous and unceremonious.
The captain did not care about the thug's tone, but quickly left temporarily to discuss with other team members.
"Captain, we've sent it! We've sent it! If we report this information to the headquarters, we can at least get this amount of bonus from Director William!"
One team member extended his palm excitedly, while the team member on the other side added: "We can also apply for administrative leave from the company, and we won't have to come to "Dream Zero" again for at least a week! "
"Or, if we don't report it now, we can snatch the servitor weapon after we go to Kano Village."
Another team member suggested greedily. After all, if the report was made now, other teams would be assigned to it. If the weapons were found by then, their credit would be greatly reduced.
After collecting the opinions of the team members, the final decision was made by the captain. After thinking about it, he finally adopted a compromise plan.
"The situation is still uncertain. We will not report to the company for the time being. Later, we will let the group of scavengers lead the way. When we actually arrive at Kano Village, we will respond to the situation and conduct a strength assessment. If the other party's rating is above C, we will take a gentle approach to contact , if it’s below.”
The captain didn't say anything later, but the team members all knew it.
If it is true, as the scavenger thugs said, that it is a never-before-seen servitor weapon that can also change forms, they will get such a weapon, analyze its structure data and upload it to Kyle Technology. Everyone's employee level will be different. You can upgrade several levels in a row, and you may even jump to the management level. You no longer have to be an explorer licking blood on the tip of a knife like you are now.
After the decision was made, the Salvation Society and now it should be said that it was the explorer team of Kyle Technology, immediately took action. After they brought some thugs as their guides, the convoy restarted and sped towards Kano Village.
It took about four hours for the explorer team to finally see the shadow of Kano Village. The reason why it was so slow was because they encountered many evil monsters on the way.
These evil monsters are very strange. They appear in small groups each time, and their frequency and density have far exceeded what would be found in a normal wasteland.
Fortunately, Kyle Technology has mastered the "brand" technology of the old world, so that their weapons have also been updated to brand new brand weapons, so that they can successfully avoid and kill the evil spirits that block their way every time. Monsters.
The number of monsters in the wilderness has suddenly increased, and they all seem to be moving in the same direction. This is theoretically an abnormal phenomenon and needs to be reported.
But now everyone in the exploration team is concerned about the new weapons in Kano Village. Even the captain, who has always been steady, ignores this and just keeps moving forward.
After all, they are all gold diggers sent by the company to the "old world". In front of the shiny gold, no one can resist the temptation.
Driving through the broken gate of Kano Village, the captain could roughly guess what happened through the large hole that was blasted out of the gate.
I am afraid that this group of thugs attacked Kano Village, but they were beaten away by the young people inside.
Unlike the thugs, the captain did not hide anything, but let the exploration team's convoy drive in openly.
Because under the strategy of Kyle Technology, the image of the "Savior Society" created by the company has good prestige and reputation in Dream Zero, and most villages and gathering places are at least not hostile to them.
But as they drove further and further into the village, the captain's brows became more and more wrinkled.
because
Where are people?
Where have all the people here gone?
Their convoy drove into the largest square in the village, but during the whole process, not even a single villager was seen. Even after taking out the exploration equipment, they scanned the nearby five kilometers and found no biological signals.
Could it be that the people in the village all fled because they were afraid that the thugs would come back for revenge?
The captain thought of this possibility immediately. He was a little depressed at first, but he quickly cheered up.
Although they were in vain, this also illustrates another point. The young man holding the special weapon was probably not as powerful as the thugs said. He was probably overstating the value of the information in order to exaggerate it.
After all, if the other party is really powerful, how could he abandon the village?
You must know that building a village on wasteland is very costly.
They would never abandon the village and flee unless they were forced into a desperate situation.
It was good news for them that the target was weak. At least it was safe. At worst, they could just spend more time looking for clues from the village and continue to track the young man based on the clues.
The captain had just finished his calculations when a trembling voice suddenly came from the other side.
"Captain! Quick! Come here quickly!!!"
I saw an exploration team member running out of a certain cellar. They almost jumped up from the ground and waved their hands excitedly. Apparently they had discovered something valuable.
The rest of the exploration team immediately rushed over and followed them down to the cellar. Here were the three stories and corresponding murals that the grandson of the previous village chief told Liao Ji.
"Captain. The Origin of the World! These murals actually contain information about the origin of Dream Zero!"
