Chapter 96 Xia Dou’s Troubles

For the previous lighthouse, every time a hunter went to the ground was a life adventure. It was too late to collect supplies, and there was no need to maintain any base stations.

Even for current lighthouses, after the base station is established, every maintenance is carried out by surprise, requiring escort by escort teams and a large number of drone detections to ensure safety. The cost of each maintenance remains high.

The effort and benefit are somewhat disproportionate.

When the base station plan was proposed, even Jing Nan objected. It was only after he promised to solve the maintenance problems that Jing Nan agreed to the plan.

He lived up to his expectations and developed a shielding armor, which solved the problem of personal safety in maintaining base stations.

With the shielding armor, the security problem of maintaining base stations is solved.

As for the sephiroth core needed for shielding the armor, after shielding the battle armor, it is not difficult to obtain the selenium core of the ordinary pole-devouring beast.

As long as the warrior wears a shielded armor and uses long-range weapons such as sniper cannons to break the limbs of the Devouring Beast, causing it to lose its ability to move, then the team will use a large drone to capture the Devouring Beast back. If no one If the machine fails, send someone there.

When humans fight against the Devouring Beasts, what they fear is siege. When the Devouring Beasts cannot detect humans, humans with all kinds of advanced weapons can easily hunt down the ordinary Devouring Beasts.

In modern warfare, intelligence is the most important. With the support of base stations, humans can detect the Devouring Beasts, but the Devouring Beasts cannot detect humans, and the offensive and defensive momentum is reversed.

The core of source matter is no longer scarce.

'Da da da. 'The helicopter quickly flew to a group of mountains.

There is a hidden mountain road in the mountains. If you don't investigate carefully, you won't be able to find this hidden mountain road.

At the end of the mountain road, there is a huge platform, and the helicopter slowly lands on the platform.

Ahead of the platform is a gate disguised as a stone. Humans on the ground live inside the mountain. This platform was opened at Shi Lei's request.

Xia Dou had been waiting here for a long time. When Shi Lei came to her, she looked at Shi Lei suspiciously and said, "Tell me, why do you, a big-tailed wolf, come to our place?"

"You won't come to propose marriage!"

"I'm telling you Ang! I am opposed to this marriage. I will not consider it unless you give me money."

The corner of Shi Lei's mouth twitched, and he asked for money after just three sentences. Did he unlock some attributes of Xia Dou yesterday?
"When did you become a money addict?"

"Just tell me whether you will give it or not!" Xia Dou asked without answering.

There is a reason why she is so greedy for money. She also has her own troubles, or the troubles in the settlement are her troubles. As a team member directly under Boss Bai, she is also a member of the base manager. Recently, there have been some problems in the settlement.

Under Shi Lei's leadership, Lighthouse Rune Technology has surpassed the settlement, so forget it, and Lighthouse's productivity has also surpassed theirs.

Humans on the ground slowly turned into lighthouse workers.

This trend cannot be reversed unless they cut off contact with the lighthouse.

The lighthouse has a lot of equipment that humans on the ground don't have, such as shielding armor and so on. They don't lack this. What they lack is equipment to purify the source of life.

Pure life essence can be directly absorbed, which can greatly increase people's cultivation progress. As long as they practice, they cannot refuse the temptation of pure life essence.

No one can refuse the opportunity to quickly improve their strength.

Although they know that they are working for the lighthouse, they are willing to work as long as the lighthouse's handling fee is not too outrageous.

Now is the end of the world, only with strength can you ensure your own safety!Just like Boss Bai, her strong strength allowed her to survive decades of catastrophes.

More importantly, the essence of life can also maintain youth forever. Immortality is a desire engraved in the bones of human beings.

So just work part-time!
They also make money anyway, it’s a win-win situation for both parties!

Of course, both ground settlements and lighthouses are not charitable organizations. In addition to basic material supplies, you have to rely on yourself for additional life sources.

Therefore, the old, weak, sick and young in the above-ground settlements do not even have the opportunity to work.

The daily necessities of this group of people are all supported by the management team of the settlement. No matter what the system is, everyone can share the hardships when they are suffering, but not when they are rich.

In the past, there was no pure source of life. We had to refine and purify it ourselves, so no one would snatch it. But it is different now.

Whether it is mining or hunting, most of the life essence obtained is kept for themselves. Even if the management makes timely adjustments and collects 50% of the tax, [-]% of the harvest needs to support [-]% of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the settlement, minus the purchase of weapons. The equipment required, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are allotted even less life essence.

The pressure of earning life essence was placed on their official team. As a member of the team, Xia Dou was responsible and shouldered this pressure. This pressure made Xia Dou unable to sleep well. I am extremely sad every day.

There is no way, the ground settlement is not a tough military organization like Lighthouse. Not only does it manage everyone, but the proportion of the army is still very high. The various armies of Lighthouse together account for one-fifth of the population of Lighthouse. There are a lot of people. It is still possible for an army to support lighthouse non-combatants.

The ground settlement is a loose settlement. In the past, the settlement was always facing danger, and everyone worked together to face difficulties together and have fun.

Now that shielding techniques and shielding armor have appeared, mankind has sounded the clarion call for counterattack. While the environment has improved, people's hearts have also changed, and it has become more difficult to provide for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

Of course, under the leadership of Boss Bai, their team is naturally not afraid of any difficulties!

But if you don't take the benefits that can be obtained for free, you should just add bricks and tiles to the settlement.

And even if she receives a lot of benefits from Shi Lei, Boss Bai has the final say whether it succeeds or not. Whether she agrees or not, the impact is actually not big, because no one can change Boss Bai's mind.

Besides, Xia Dou was very happy to get benefits from Shi Lei, a big-tailed wolf. Every time he got money, he defeated Shi Lei.

The corner of Shi Lei's mouth curled up slightly. It was not a problem that could be solved with money. He took out his wallet, took out a wad of money, and then quickly counted them one by one.

Xia Dou watched as Shi Lei's right hand contained more and more hundred-dollar bills, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

Shi Lei counted money faster and faster.

Finally, under Xia Dou's shining eyes, Shi Lei handed over the remaining ten yuan in his left hand.

Ah!
Xia Dou thought it was the wad of money that Shi Lei gave to his right hand!The result was for the left hand, which made her happy in vain.

She looked at Shi Lei resentfully and said, "It's only ten yuan, why are you so stingy?"

"You can't even buy me a nice word for ten dollars."

Shi Lei's expression condensed and he said calmly: "If you think it's too little, just give it back to me."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to get back the ten yuan.

Xia Dou retracted his hand, stuffed the money into his pocket, then turned around and left: "Follow me."
