Chapter 147

No one expected this to happen at the end of the mission.

Everyone's heart is heavy and morale is low.

In addition to the three small players with an ignorant face and the best street guide who doesn't know what to do.

Chu Guang said he wanted to be alone and think calmly about how to inform the families of the victims of this cruel fact.

He is not very good at comforting people.

If the performance is too flashy, it will be embarrassing to wear clothes. At this time, it's better not to talk.

Sometimes silence is the best language.

Lu Yang put his hand on Chu Guang's shoulder and expressed his understanding.

"I understand your feelings very much, but it will be dark in two hours, and the situation in the urban area will become very complicated. When I get back, I will ask Li De to contact you... About compensating the families of the victims."

It's at least 20 kilometers from here to the pioneer. They have to try to get back before dark. Although the night is not a fatal danger to them, it is best not to delay too late out of caution.

"You go back first. I'll deal with it and leave."

"But... Is it really all right for you to stay here?" Luca said with a slight hesitation and couldn't help glancing at the equipment in the hands of the other three shelter residents.

Iron pipe rifle.

The most common weapon on waste soil.

But it was not so much a weapon as a water pipe.

"Don't worry, we are very familiar with this area and have been doing so all the time."

Seeing that Chu Guang said so, Lu Yang no longer insisted. After giving him a firm look, he took his people back all the way.

After they went far, Chu Guang released the task through VM, asked the other three small players to recycle the bullet casings on the ground, and then took brother Maka's body on the road.

To tell the truth, Chu Guang is not greedy for the two cartridge cases.

The main reason is that it's too difficult to play all the way. He used to work in sales rather than funeral. He really has no experience in this field.

So let Luyang and them go first.

On the way back to the outpost, when passing Beite street, Chu Guang remembered the reward, took out 5 silver coins and threw them in Zhao Yang's hand.

Looking at the silver coin in his hand, Zhao Yangxi raised his eyebrows and nodded his thanks.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

At first, everyone on Bette Street rejected this metal currency, but since they found that it could buy many good things they couldn't buy before, they gradually began to accept it.

What's the difference between chips and silver coins?

In winter, there will be no caravans from Boulder City.

What they need is food, fuel and warm clothes. It's best to add a new set of bedding to make life easier.

That's it.

"This is your due reward. I'll come back to you if necessary."

After sending Zhao Yang away, Chu Guang returned to the outpost and sent the corpse lying in the corpse room to the active substance extractor.

Three days later, he was a hero again.

What if someone remembers his face? Chu Guang felt that this was not a problem at all. Some people doubted that it was just one more twin brother.

Or make an announcement on the official website?

For example, due to a bug that cannot be solved temporarily in the expansion, the dead players in the expansion cannot be revived temporarily. Later, the official will issue a restricted assault rifle or activity reward points to the affected accounts as compensation?

That makes sense.

Where is a game without a bug?

Not to mention the closed beta stage, the game ontology can only be regarded as a gift of bug.

As long as the compensation and reward are reasonable, players can still accept it emotionally. At most, just like the crow before, there is a withdrawal reaction that can't sleep for three days.

Chu Guang is a little worried. He has a lot of cards in his hand.

However, the problem now is that he doesn't want his small players to cheat the insurance when they see the reward. In that way, they die too falsely and simply treat others as fools.

But he also hopes that small players can help him earn more pension. After all, working for three days can earn 13Cr at most. Isn't it too much to lose four figures for one person?

Tut.

If only there were some way to cool it reasonably.

Chu Guang thought that Li De might call soon, so he walked towards the barracks of the office.

Coincidentally, just as Chu Guang was walking in that direction, Luo Hua just came out of the barracks. When she saw him, her eyes lit up and took the initiative to meet him.

"Hey, you're back at last."

"Your section chief is looking for me?"

Luo Hua looked at Chu Guang in surprise, nodded and said.

"Yes, he asked me to call him if I saw you coming back... How did you guess?"

Chu Guang wanted to laugh, but he remembered that he couldn't laugh, at least he shouldn't laugh, so he choked back and sighed.

"It's a sad story... Let's talk about it the next time we drink."

Luo Hua looked at a loss. She didn't understand why she had to wait for drinking to talk, and why brother Chu's expression was so heavy.

However, he would have asked casually. Since he took the liberty, he would no longer ask.

"OK..."

Chu Guang nodded and walked in the direction of the office.

Through the barracks door.

Aisi, who was maintaining his weapons, looked up at him without saying a word. He skillfully turned on the holographic communication system on the table and sent a contact request to the pioneer.

The bodyguard usually says very little, or even almost nothing.

Chu Guang appreciates her character very much. If only boss Xia could learn from her.

Whether it's the attitude of doing things or the professional quality.

Dark green light beams interweave in the air and weave into a three-dimensional network.

After a short wait, the bust of Reid appeared in the holographic image.

After looking at Chu Guang for two seconds, the logistics section chief saw that Chu Guang had no intention to open the conversation, so he cleared his throat and said.

"I've heard the story from the captain. I'm sorry about the young man's death. Of course, just regret is not enough to express our apology. If you have no opinion, let's talk about the pension."

Sure enough.

Chu Guang knew it clearly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

With a slight nod of his head, he said.

"Yes."

I guessed that the old fox would not take the initiative to "offer", and Li De no longer wasted time waiting and continued to say.

"You are not employees of the enterprise. We can't pay pensions to your people according to the enterprise standards and employee levels. The compensation scheme after our research is... 1000cr, which is equivalent to 1000 hours of hourly salary."

Chu Guang stared at him.

"I can't accept it. Is a human life only worth 1000cr in your eyes?"

A ton of starch is too much!

Makabazi is our good partner!

You have to pay more!

Li De also stared at Chu Guang and was not fooled by the idea of changing concepts.

"I know that a person's life is far more than this price. Life cannot be measured by money, but we also have to consider practical factors... What's more, we didn't cause his death. Am I right?"

Eh?

Chu Guang was a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy to be smart.

It can be seen that the section chief of the logistics section should have done a lot of homework before answering the phone. At least he asked their captain to understand the whole process of the whole operation.

exactly.

Strictly speaking, Marca didn't die because of their mistakes, but because he was too dark and stepped on thunder when rummaging.

Li De's hint in his words is obvious, not even implied, but completely explicit - the dead didn't die because of us, but he died in the action related to us after all. We are willing to pay a compensation out of morality, but don't go too far.

Of course, Chu Guang was very clear in his heart, but it was too small to expect him to give up.

Nodded, Chu Guang retreated.

"Yes, it is undeniable that we are all responsible for such a thing, and I have no intention of putting all the responsibility on you. To be honest, it is a valuable and noble move for you to be willing to give compensation to the families of the victims. But please understand that from my position, I naturally have to find a way to help our people win more."

Li De: "I understand, so your answer is?"

Chu Guang: "I accept your compensation. In addition, I will give his widow a pension of 2000 silver coins in my personal name, which is enough for her not to worry about material things for a period of time."

Li De's eyebrows relaxed slightly.

He had made a long psychological preparation before making this call. As a result, he didn't expect the communication to be smooth unexpectedly.

tell the truth.

He was surprised.

The old fox didn't take the opportunity to rip them off, which really surprised him, so that the abdominal manuscript he had made in his stomach was completely useless.

What a waste.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus."

"Yes, there is a consensus on the pension."

When Li De heard a "yes", a smile hung on his face. As a result, his blood pressure soared in an instant when he heard the attribute of the second half of the sentence.

Staring at Chu Guang's holographic image, he said aggressively as he went to his pocket to find blood pressure lowering drugs.

"What do you mean? Do you want to tell me that every resident of the shelter is the collective wealth of the shelter. In addition to his personal losses, we have to compensate you?"

Eh?

Can you interpret it like this?

Chu Guang, who did not consider this layer at all, was surprised. He couldn't help admiring it. He silently wrote down this excuse and planned to wait until he had a chance to use it again.

He spent a second sorting out his emotions. He stared at Li De in the holographic image and said in a righteous way.

"What do you mean by that? Is there only money in your eyes and mine?"

Otherwise?

Li De resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Stop beating around the bush. Just say it. What do you want?"

Chu Guang said with a heavy face.

"I seriously reflected on the reasons for today's accident. The reason why this happened is not that your people did not protect us, but that we did not protect our own people."

"If we could prepare a bulletproof vest and a helmet for him, he would not be killed on the spot. If we could provide him with a submachine gun or shotgun, today's tragedy would not even happen. If -"

Li De couldn't help interrupting him.

"If we can provide you with several sets of power armor, you can find fuel rods for us without even our hands, right? Do you want to say that?"

Chu Guang actually wants to say "yes".

But he knew that such words were meaningless except for a change of eyes.

Some things are not to be discussed, such as power armor and modular production units that can be plugged in.

But there are some things

You can still fight for it.

"I'm so sorry. It's too much trouble for you. Besides, it's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish." Chu Guang continued without blushing, "Our requirements are not high. In order to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, I urge you to send an engineer to support our construction. For example, help us build a production line to produce steel, cement, helmets, protective equipment and weapons."

"You call it not demanding?" Li De stared at him, his eyes almost protruding. "What do you think we are, jugglers?"

Building a production line to produce rifles is much more difficult than producing a rifle.

Depending on the process type, product quality, degree of automation and expected capacity, the cost and time required to build this production line are also very different.

Moreover, it doesn't make much sense to establish a single production line without the industrial system. The parts on the production line are worn out all the time. If you can't produce these replaceable standardized parts, you might as well take that money and buy products directly.

"No more."

After interrupting Chu Guang who wanted to say something else, Li De pinched the center of his eyebrows, paused for a while and continued.

"You are very lucky... I happen to have a 'magnetic confinement plasma NC machining machine tool' here. It is a bit interesting. It has very high precision, is convenient to use, and is relatively easy to maintain. It is an antique we picked up from the last city. But we have more advanced production tools, but we can't use it, so we have been throwing it in the warehouse to eat ash."

Chu Guang's eyes lit up: "how much!"

Li De smiled and said, "I can give it to you for nothing. Do you want it?"

Chuguang: "... Is that thing bad?"

Li De gave him an unexpected look, smiled and said, "yes, and it's the kind that is paralyzed in various senses. Even we have to spend some time to fix it."

Hearing this, Chu Guang finally understood what this guy wanted to do.

But he had no choice but to ask.

"How much is it?"

"100000."

Chu Guang: "

MMP！

100000?!

200 people work 10 hours a day, plus a total of 600 meals a day, and a commission of nearly 1000cr. They have to work continuously for 27 days to earn this money!

27 days what concept?

Whether these people will stay here for 27 days is unknown!

"... your inflation is really fierce."

"How? This is already a very conscientious price. If you don't believe it, you can ask the caravan from the enterprise to see if they can offer a cheaper price than us."

Looking at the shriveled expression on Chu Guang's face, Li De couldn't help smiling proudly, but soon coughed and restrained the untimely expression.

"Well, do a good job. I'll send you the instructions for the use of that thing later. Of course, you can't afford it and don't have to force it. Our assault rifles and bulletproof vests can also give you the ability to protect yourself. And I bet the quality will be much better than yours."

"By the way, the pension will be called later... You ran too far from the subject. I almost forgot such an important thing."

After dropping this sentence, Li De happily ended the communication.

From his last second expression, Chu Guang could feel the pride in this guy's heart.

It must feel great.

Chu Guang tried to bring in his position.

I found that it was more than cool. It was great.

"Do you want to use the phone?" asked AIS, who was waiting for him when he didn't move.

"No."

No need to hear it. AIS didn't procrastinate and reached out to turn off the holographic communication equipment.

The dark green light beam disappeared from the barracks.

His eyes inadvertently swept over Chu Guang's face. AISI was slightly stunned, and a trace of imperceptible surprise floated on his expressionless face.

She clearly remembered that the man had a deflated expression a second ago, but now he couldn't find any deflated shadow.

Instead

There seems to be a flash of excitement?

Not really

Ace thought he was wrong.

After all, no matter what, they only died a partner, and the compensation did not seem to meet expectations. She could not imagine that he had any reason to be happy.

But Lao Li in the logistics department is really stingy.

Oh

It has to work for a long time.

-

(a total of 260000 words have been updated this month. To be honest, I was surprised, but it's true that my body was hollowed out. Sometimes I don't sleep six hours a day. Maybe my writing skills and hand speed still need to be improved. I have to review this.

At the beginning of the new month, set a small goal for yourself and try to live a long time! Try to maintain the old tradition of updating at ten o'clock! If you can't do it, just pat me gently, and I will work hard to above 8K on the premise of ensuring the quality.

For the sake of our efforts this month, I'd like to ask for half a day's sick leave. I'll go to the clinic later... Although I know that it's probably a small cold caused by work and rest disorder, I feel relieved to check and see if I want to take medicine.

Sorry, that's all for today.)
