Chapter 976

A bonfire made of broken wood mixed with some scraps was burning brightly.

The shattered sparks were blown by the wind and disappeared into the mist.

The faces of the adventurers in front of the Starscream temporary camp were flushed, as if they had been roasted by a fire, and also seemed to be caused by excitement.

Some caravan engineers in the distance leaned lazily on both sides of the car body, sipping small cans of beer in their hands.

Although the entire city was in chaos due to the homeless riots during the day, the storm has not yet been transmitted to the Tianyuan territory through this distance.

Maybe it's because of the Foundation's platform, or maybe it's the huge deterrent of the Red Spider Caravan.

The people in Sunshine Harbor Refuge kept a low profile, and they didn't even send a single person who came to pass the message.

With the free fragrance floating in the air.

Not long after, a few hard dishes came out from the kitchen in the camp, which immediately ignited the somewhat lonely atmosphere of the night.

Burn the sheep's head.

Roast lamb.

Braised wild vegetables.

The heavy pot was placed on the fire, and the aroma began to grow stronger as the flames erupted.

Luke, who had already taken off his power armor, rushed in front of the crowd leaning on a cane.

Regardless of burning his mouth, he directly reached out and pulled out a fragrant mutton skewer from the pot, and picked up a piece of crispy flatbread from under the fire and rolled it into it.

Go down in one bite.

hiss.

Luke gasped, not because he was scalded by the temperature, but because of the smell...

"Is it my illusion, why does it feel more fragrant than a few days ago!"

At this moment, that haunting taste seemed to be magnified again.

If it was only a quarter before, then at least a third has been achieved now.

This speed of progress is simply unbelievable.

"Is it so fragrant? I'll try it too."

Joseph, the vice-captain of the caravan, also came up. He first sniffed the smell that filled the air, and then looked at the bubbling broth in the pot.

Pick up a rough iron spoon and scoop out some lightly.

The fiery soup enters from the mouth, as if eating a piece of honey that is unforgettable for a long time.

Along with the feeling of happiness from the taste buds, the liquid carried a little warmth into the throat and into the abdomen.

call.

There are only two words to describe this feeling.

satisfy!

The food here is simply a gift from the heavens, and it only took more than ten days to conquer all the caravans.

Even those who are picky will fall under the miraculous taste.

"Eat, eat, dinner is ready!"

The mousse cake that came to "upgrade" brought out two baskets of baked pancakes from the kitchen, with a strong smile on his face.

For reserve soldiers, the battlefield is their best place to level up. As long as they can achieve excellent performance in battle, they will immediately receive a steady stream of experience points.

As for apprentice chefs, Naga’s experience in disseminating delicious food to more people, especially in the circle of aboriginal people, is simply terrifying.

That old boy Ma Haoge has recently raised his level to Lv3.56% by relying on ramen.

If someone hadn't discovered it, he might be able to take advantage of the last few days to upgrade his level to level four.

"It's time for dinner, it's time for dinner!"

Joseph roared, and the engineers not far away who were pretending to be sad seemed to change their faces, and put down the wine bottles in their hands at the speed of light.

Warm broth, pseudo lamb kebabs mixed with protein.

Surrounding the fire, many people hummed in satisfaction. Luke also sat on the ground drinking a little wine while humming a ditty from his hometown.

"I was young when I set out, recalling the lake among the ruins"

"If I can still remember, the stories of those adventures."

"Smoke and drums follow, and the veil of the new world is lifted..."

"When we reach far, we become strong..."

"When we reach far..."

The meaningless humming sounded like broth boiling in a pot, but in this desolate night mist, there was an unexpected rhythm of ups and downs.

"My friend, we have obtained enough materials, and we will be able to set off for the return trip in three days."

Sitting at the front of the Starscream Chariot, Sean raised the wine glass in his hand, shook it, and drank it in one gulp.

This is extremely rare.

Usually, before the caravan returned to the Foundation for repairs, he would never let alcohol numb himself on the way.

But it's different now, the world is changing so fast that Sean already feels abandoned.

Although he had expected such an ending from the moment he set up the caravan, it didn't mean that he could accept any sudden changes calmly.

If they could live on, or even live more nourishingly, no one would be willing to die calmly.

"In three days, that should be a good time, I wish you good luck."

Picking up the small can of beer in his hand and taking a sip, Su Mo looked in the direction of Qinggang City.

The dense fog makes it difficult to see the specific appearance of the city.

But the soaring fire has been burning since the afternoon, but it still has no intention of stopping.

Perhaps the Sunny Harbor Refuge will take advantage of this fire to clean up the mutated plants?

"You are a special manager, at least completely different from those I have seen before."

"Oh? What's special?"

Su Mo turned his head in surprise, but was met with big white eyes from Xiao En.

"Aren't you special?? Although I have seen a lot of situations where the managers of the shelters are combatants, I have never seen anyone who will personally lead soldiers into the front line, take huge risks and ignore them, and leave them alone." I am in a dangerous place, oh my god, aren't you afraid that a shell will fall in front of you and kill yourself?"

"You don't understand, that's what it means to be a manager."

For a lord of a territory and a manager of a refuge.

What could be more relaxing than watching your soldiers step onto the battlefield and come back intact?

This is not a game, people cannot be resurrected after death.

The casualty of even one soldier is an unacceptable reality for the fragile territory at this stage.

"you..."

Sean opened his mouth, seeming to understand a little bit, but seemed even more incomprehensible.

He looked at the singing and dancing caravan members beside the fire, and suddenly sighed softly.

"Will you treat your residents, your people, as friends and relatives?"

"why not?"

Su Mo shook his head, and couldn't help asking: "Everything here is my wealth, but it's not just those materials, and it's not just those concrete buildings that can't be taken away."

"Every resident is my greatest wealth."

"Resident...wealth?"

Sean was a little stunned, he never expected Su Mo to answer like this.

"Strange, really strange."

There are not one million gathering places on Blue Star, but there must be hundreds of thousands.

Some are big and some are small, some gather tens of millions of people, and some gather only a dozen or so people.

Sean met too many managers when he traveled the mainland with a caravan.

There are combat managers who are as violent as hunting tigers and decisive in killing.

There are managers who love the people like children, strictly enforce the rest regulations, and never squeeze the labor force of residents.

There are rulers who are like tyrants, and there are also managers who never care about the life and death of the gathering place.

From them, Sean saw too many differences in human nature.

But with the man in front of him, he found a new feeling.

respect.

It's strange that there are managers who respect the human rights of residents?

"I have never met a manager who thinks like you, so I can't give you any proper advice. But during this time, I still thank Tianyuan Refuge for helping us. The red spider caravan will return as quickly as possible. Headquarters, officially register this place on the foundation's list of potential transactions."

"It's really troublesome." Su Mo nodded sincerely, expressing his gratitude.

Sean waved his hand, coughed and said.

"This is what I should do. The next time I come back here, we will bring all the equipment you need."

"Of course, according to the plan between us, you only need to pay with canned food."

It's okay to pay with food.

Unexpectedly, the Tianyuan coins did not have influence in the caravans of the aborigines. On the contrary, each meal has a strong purchasing power, which can not only replace a large number of materials and equipment, but also exchange for scarce technology.

Su Mo secretly made a note in his heart, it seems that the route of chef apprentice must be well cultivated.

If there are additional free route points next time, it may be possible to further strengthen the ability of chef apprentices.

"When we leave this time, Peng Qiu and the others will also return to the headquarters together, so if you encounter pressure from the Clear Harbor Refuge in the recent period, you must remember not to have any proof conflicts with them.

I will leave you a token of identification, maybe they will hesitate for a while when they see the logo of the Foundation, and persist until we return from the Foundation headquarters. "

"In addition, they seem to have lost something important. If you took it, then quickly find a way to return it to them. If you didn't take it, don't send someone to look for it, because of its value.. .”

Glancing at the poor scavengers, Sean nodded slightly: "Sometimes, a windfall is a disaster, and you should know what I'm talking about."

How much the foundation's face and deterrence can be retained in this city is still unknown.

Sean thinks it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, the fact that the other party did not dare to send people over to disturb the caravan was the best proof.

As for what outrageous actions the Clear Harbor Sanctuary will make after he leaves...

To be honest, even Peng Qiu was not sure, so he could only remind him as much as he could.

Sean reminded Somo that when another Foundation caravan passed by next time, he could take his token to invite them to stay on the edge of the territory for a period of time, so as to deter these gophers in the city who are ready to move.

As long as we persist until the crops are harvested abundantly, there will definitely be far fewer people making plans for this barren land.

As for whether the caravan will grab the food business?

Sean couldn't take care of it anymore, he didn't want to see it turn into a beach of ruins next time he came here.

In that case, all the previous investment of the Red Spider Caravan was in vain, and the future development income would once again become an unknown.

It's better to tie up several foundation caravans and board this big ship together, and bring the delicious food here to all parts of the mainland. When the time comes, there will be a large number of people, and they will be able to help each other even if there is a risk.

"Yes, after you leave, there shouldn't be any sound from here in the near future."

"We will also learn from the Clear Harbor Refuge and build some high walls around the village to reduce their desire to attack as much as possible, and protect all the food that is planted until the harvest is good."

"Believe me, in the not-too-distant future, this place may develop to a point where even you can't believe it."

"Oh? So confident?"

Sean smiled with interest, and then shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed: "I hope, if there is such a day, maybe I will consider moving the pension out of the foundation headquarters..."

"Oh, damn it, I still don't know if the nursing home I ordered the bed sent over!"

The harmonious atmosphere makes it impossible to tell that there are people from two worlds and different planets.

The night gradually deepened.

Sitting on the top of the red spider chariot, Sean happily ate the mutton skewers and narrated some experiences on the blue star.

Su Mo was already very interested in Blue Star, so he listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

but.

What everyone didn't notice was that not far from the chariot, several figures in costumes like iron cans were hidden in the mist, lying on the ground with a device that looked like a vacuum cleaner in their hands.

This iron can seems to have a special function. The multi-spectral scanner mounted on the chariot shoots at the surface, and the corresponding information will not be reflected back, but will be directly absorbed.

Reflected on the imaging end of the scanner, there will be a void the size of a grain of rice.

If anyone was staring at the scanner at this moment, they would definitely notice this sudden change in vacancy.

But unfortunately, the bonfire party is in full swing.

A few engineers on duty were sitting at the table at this moment, their mouths were full of oil, and they didn't bother to look at the screen.

Occasionally glance at them, and they are already respectful and responsible if they don't see the obvious red exclamation mark.

"Did you hear that, the damn Foundation caravan is finally leaving!"

"Go back and report to Master Pingtan that the distribution of foundations stationed in the city will also leave. This is good news."

"But according to their words, the Foundation has not disappeared, and it seems that the Tianyuan Refuge has not taken away the industrial core?"

"Whatever, this matter is beyond our control. Anyway, Mr. Pingtan only needs information, and we will report it truthfully and we will be done."

"It's so fragrant, I haven't smelled such delicious food for a long time."

"Get 'em up and replace the damned crap in the kitchen."

"Yes, it's best to grab all their food. I'm tired of eating tasteless nutrition cream every day."

While muttering softly, the tin can backed away, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

No one noticed their arrival, and even the footprints left on the ground were completely covered up.

But it's a pity, it's like they lie here to avoid the surveillance of the chariot.

At the border of Tianyuan Territory, no one expected that there would be a team of more than 20 people lurking here.

I saw the "iron cans" flashing out of the thick fog in a line.

A look of joy flashed across the face of the ragged man in front of the team, and he quickly waved his hand at the team behind him.

In the shadows, more than a dozen stern sword lights flashed.

More than a dozen iron cans fell down with a muffled grunt, and they didn't expect someone to lay an ambush here.

"Boss...boss...they seem to be...people from Flat Beach Refuge!"

"This is a...recording."

After pawing at the tin can a few times to find the identification mark, the vice-captain came back with a pale face, holding the vacuum cleaner-like device with remote radio in his hand, with an extremely dull expression.

"Let's go, let me listen."

The man lying on the ground was expressionless, with his left hand on the safe, and his right hand still resting on the side of the weapon at all times.

However, as the voice finished minute by minute, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed a little.

"Tianyuan Refuge... Foundation caravan?"

...
