On the wasteland, the gathering place of 80,000 people does not sound like a very large size, which is the average level of a shelter in the city.
But if you want to manage these people well, it's not just a matter of lip service.
The reason why Gopher Guy has so many people but only needs simple management is because of the continuous spiritual fusion for more than two hundred years.
To put it bluntly, you can see how chaotic the group of homeless people gathered some time ago.
With sufficient supplies and armed forces, Qinggang Refuge can only face the tens of thousands of homeless people with headaches.
Edmund was even forced to helplessly shout that as long as these people don't mess around, the taverns banned by the residents and guards during the foggy day can be opened to these people, and there will be a 20% discount!
It is also true that the 80,000 people in the giant tree root sea area are now like a bomb that will explode at any time.
Not to mention changing Liehu, it is changing Hades himself.
In the absence of modern weapons, it is difficult to maintain the situation with a few cronies.
Of course, Mr. Richard, the manager of the giant tree root sea area, actually thinks so.
But the point is that he thinks it's useless? !
Not to mention the managers of the inn, even those outsiders can find out about his control over the inn and his attitude towards pirates in the past as long as they hang around for a day. Whoever will ignore him will not bring any benefits manager?
That's why, with more and more people, Li Cha is already planning to run away.
And the reason why I haven't left yet.
On the one hand, it is because the materials looted in the past half a year have not been completely removed, a small part is still backlogged in the warehouse of the post station, and most of them are stored in a secret place. Without these supplies, even if he went to the New World, he would only be struggling for a living like those ordinary people.
On the other hand, there are many people staring at him outside now, not only those deep-sea travelers with evil intentions, but also many pirates who pretend to come in lurking, all wanting to kill him to find the hidden supplies.
The evening sea breeze blew, feeling the biting coolness spread over his body, Li Cha couldn't help shivering.
In the distance, he could feel countless pairs of eyes looking at him, like hungry wolves.
But the guards next to them, who smelled strongly of alcohol and rubbed their red wine-grooved noses, did not bring any sense of security.
Sometimes he felt aggrieved as a manager.
Although there is no immediate boss, but it is really not comfortable to be an executive of the top 500 on earth.
At least on Earth, you don't have to worry about being swarmed up by these hungry wolves after you fall asleep, sharing food and discarding bones.
Shaking his dizzy head from side to side, Li Cha gave a few words to the guard next to him, moved his stiff neck and prepared to go back to the office for a nap, but just as the door was closed, there was a crackling knock outside. door noise.
The door opened, and the guard captain Bao Lei hurried in from the outside, followed by a familiar face.
That was the only relative he found in this wasteland, his uncle Xu Leguo.
"Mr. Li Cha, if your uncle goes to the casino to cause trouble again, we may not be able to save him next time."
Feng Long said directly with a dark face, and turned his head to glance at Xu Leguo by the way.
The middle-aged man smelled of alcohol and was drunk, but when Bao Lei looked over, he showed a flattering smile.
Apparently he also knew the situation at the station recently, and he didn't pretend to be powerful because of Li Cha.
"Captain Bao Lei, you...you don't have to be angry, what happened?"
Li Cha's performance was not at all the posture he had been some time ago, but instead he apologized for a moment of wonder.
Some time ago, he was still forcing these gangsters to go to the pirates to try their best to show his attitude as a manager.
But with the advent of disasters, and the increasing number of outsiders.
As a manager, Li Cha can only unite all forces to maintain the order and rules of the station as much as possible.
This small group that may have assassinated the intelligence agent at the post station was also logically included in his selection.
However, after a period of changes and various emergencies.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the man and his brother opposite now, the giant tree root station would have changed hands long ago.
No one would have thought that these dozen or so people were so strong in combat that they could suppress a riot of hundreds of people when they became ruthless.
In addition, they trained a group of people in private, and now the guard team barely expanded to 300 people.
One hundred of them were his former cronies, and the other two hundred were from Bao Lei.
If you offend this guy, maybe you don't need the 'hungry wolf' outside to take action, I'm afraid the captain of the guard will clean it up first.
"Don't you know what happened? This is not the first time!"
If it weren't for the fact that he had to fight with Li Chaxu now, Bao Lei wished he could beat them both up.
"He, Xu Leguo, last time he owed someone a full two thousand seashells at the casino and didn't pay back. You settled the debt."
"It's only been a long time, but it's getting worse. This time, I owe someone else five thousand!"
"How much?" Li Cha's eyes stared straight.
"Five thousand!"
"Then you send him back, I can't afford the five thousand."
Li Cha's nose was crooked with anger, and his head shook like a rattle.
Seashells are the common currency of the station, and also the value currency used by humans in the deep sea.
According to the current market situation, the consumption of a normal person's one-month ration is only about 50 seashells.
This Xu Leguo is absolutely crazy, dare to go to the casino and lose the monthly rations of a hundred people.
The most important thing was that he didn't have any money, and the owner of the casino must have given Xu Leguo the quota because of the "face" of him as a manager.
In other words, some hungry wolves couldn't get the supplies from him, so they could only save the country in a curve, starting from Xu Leguo.
"Don't, big nephew, uncle is your only family member. If you send me back to the casino, they will definitely kill me!"
As soon as he heard that Li Cha planned to send him back, Xu Leguo was so frightened that he sobered up instantly.
Of course, he was pretending to be drunk in the first place, just to see if he could fool around with Li Cha.
"They set up a game for me, yes, that's what they did!"
"They told me that the station is short of weapons. As long as I can win, they will go to the sea next door to find us a batch of weapons and come back. I... I just blocked them."
Xu Leguo said bitterly.
Instead it is.
"You idiot!"
Li Cha scolded angrily, he didn't even need Bao Lei to sell it, and almost couldn't help but want to kill his relatives right away.
The giant tree root station lacks weapons? Is this an excuse carbon-based organisms can come up with?
Now the metal sigh disaster is not over, and the only weapons that can be used are wooden crossbows and wooden knives.
It is true that the post station lacks these things, but even if there are more than a hundred, or even five hundred.
can change the situation?
This Xu Leguo's brain was really filled with horse urine into a toilet, and all the excuses he came up with stinks.
"You owe so much money, you should find a way to pay it back yourself. I have already paid you almost 10,000 yuan back and forth, and this time it's 5,000 yuan. have to be exported."
"Don't, if they know that I can't pay back, they will definitely arrest me and beat me to death. Li Cha, Li Cha, my good nephew, you know that uncle's mouth is not so strict, if I accidentally put those things The location is revealed, what should I do?"
Location?
Li Cha's face changed slightly.
"What are you talking about, what?"
"Just four southeast..."
"enough!"
Surrounded by the stench in the air, and seeing the anxiety on Xu Leguo's face, Li Cha stood up abruptly from his seat.
His expression changed again and again, and finally he gradually cooled down: "I will pay you back this time, but if there is another time, you know the consequences."
"I know, I know for sure, I will never gamble in the future!"
The casino was dark and airtight, and the stinky people inside frowned. There was absolutely no way he would go there again!
Moreover, Xu Leguo knew in his heart that if he threatened Li Cha like this, his life might be difficult in the future.
But there is no way, who let him be cheated into the casino again?
"Captain Bao Lei, I will take care of the money, please send my uncle to the water prison and lock him up alone."
"No one can see him without my order!"
"Understood."
After solving the source of the conflict, Bao Lei didn't bother to care about these nonsense, and immediately turned around Xu Leguo and left.
Watching the figures of the two go away through the window until they disappeared from sight.
Only then did Li Cha frowned, rubbed his temples with his fingers and sat down.
The relatives in this wasteland are really troublesome, and if you don't pay attention, you will make a lot of mess.
Although in the initial stage of the construction of the post station, Xu Leguo led people to work diligently and made great contributions.
But Li Cha doesn't think these credits are the capital for his current crimes.
Especially dare to threaten him with the place where the supplies are stored.
By the way, how did he know there?
Thinking of the consequences if someone digs out his material warehouse, Li Cha's eyes became more serious.
A bold idea emerged from the bottom of his heart, and it grew in just a few minutes.
At this time, the door happened to be opened again.
Walking in was one of his cronies, Marcus, the deputy captain of the guard.
Markas is a bear man, but because he lives on the border all year round, communication is not an obstacle.
And stimulated by the harsh environment, his figure is extremely tall, over two meters high.
Although it looks very cumbersome when modern weapons can still be used, it is easy to become a target, but in the recent stage of cold weapons, it is one of the facades of the giant tree root sea area.
When the passing travelers had disputes, as long as they saw Marcus approaching, they would take the initiative to leave with interest.
It can be said that Richard is still able to sit in the manager's position, and Markas also has some credit.
"What's the matter, won't it be my uncle who caused other troubles?"
Li Cha put down his hands rubbing his temples, and said with a headache.
"Yes, Mr. Richard, you guessed it."
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what happened."
"Now the whole station is rumored that your uncle has an affair with pirates and secretly gave them the defense map."
Marcus recounted the rumor in a low voice.
Roughly speaking, several groups of travelers passing by have been attacked by pirates recently.
These cunning pirates didn't know what method they used, but they even bypassed the shadows in the sea, and found a gap in the defense to launch an attack.
The damage was severe for a while, and these people wondered if Uncle Li Cha was selling news.
After all, his lavish gambling during this period of time is obvious to all, as well as the awesomeness he bragged about.
It is not difficult to make people wonder where the money is coming from.
"It's really troublesome. How can we have the defense map of this group of idiots, let alone my uncle's."
"I just want to plant it, let me, the manager, wipe my ass, right?"
There are many voices in the post station to go out to fight against pirates, but there is no one who actually takes action.
Everyone is not stupid, but no one will act for the benefit of others.
The reason why I stayed here was because I was afraid that the New World would be more dangerous, so I first collected information for a period of time.
After confirming that there is no problem, a large number of people will immediately pat their buttocks and leave.
"I thought so too, but now they want you to give an explanation."
"Give me a fart." Li Cha glanced at him: "You don't care what they are doing, just talk about it if you like, we will ignore it anyway."
"But...they have evidence of the connection between your uncle and the pirates. I've seen it. Those evidences don't seem to be faked. So, there are tens of thousands of people denouncing it now!"
Tens of thousands of people are condemning?
Li Cha was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized the seriousness of this matter, and became cautious.
Speaking of which, why hasn't he heard the news before?
As a manager, Li Cha admits that he has less than one percent of his control over the current inn.
But this kind of news that tens of thousands of people know, it doesn't make sense that he only knows it through Marcus now?
"It broke out suddenly today." Markas replied patiently, and took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket.
"I asked them to copy the evidence again, take a look."
"Is there such a thing?"
Li Cha took the blank paper with a frown and began to read the information on it carefully.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it.
He originally thought that it was just outsiders who were framing Xu Leguo and trying to use false information to blackmail supplies from him, the manager.
But after looking through it for real, it not only gave the time and method of Xu Leguo's contact with the pirates, but even the contact information was picked up!
Could it be that Xu Leguo was the reason why the inn was frequently attacked before?
Li Cha himself was startled when he came up with this idea.
When there were not so many foreign travelers before, the giant tree root station had a headache for the pirates who came and went like the wind.
The opponent can always catch their defensive space, and then give a sudden attack.
He guessed whether there was a pirate's mole in the inn, but he never thought that this person would be his uncle.
"What do they want?"
"Hand over Xu Leguo and let them dispose of it, and then you, the manager, will compensate everyone for their losses."
"Fart." Li Cha shook his head without hesitation, and said directly, "Why should I pay for the pirate's actions?"
"But he is your uncle."
Marcus replied inexplicably.
"What's the matter, uncle, you came just in time, I need you to help me find someone to enter the dungeon."
If everything that happened now hadn't happened, although Wuqian Haibei was bleeding heavily, considering that he was his only relative.
Li Cha might grit his teeth and act as a kind help for the last time.
But Xu Leguo threatened with material points, and now he is suspected of colluding with pirates
Can't stay anymore.
He must be killed as soon as possible.
This will not only save five thousand seashells, but also avoid future troubles.
It kills two birds with one stone!
