Chapter 454: From Chaocheng

He chose to open up the land near the site, once found a small-scale spar veins, because of the long distance from Dragon City, the tentacles of the super enterprise did not reach here temporarily, giving undocumented pioneers a chance.
I thought it was a profitable business.
Who knows, when Ning Lang took a group of brothers and finally took root in the wilderness and built a stronghold with a complete defense system and fierce firepower, the prospecting team of the big company came here again to conduct detailed exploration of the spar veins. .
The result is that this area is a "fake mineral vein", only close to the ground, there are several thin layers of mineral skin, exposed under the action of weathering, as if the reserves are amazing.
In fact, if you dig down a little bit, you can find that, except for rocks, there are miscellaneous mines with extremely low content and poor quality, which have no development value at all.
Large companies are not interested in this land, and Ninglang's stronghold becomes a very embarrassing existence.
In the wilderness, the cost of eating and drinking Lazard every day is ten times that of Longcheng.
Not to mention the automated defense system, defending against monsters, consumes a lot of psionic energy and ammunition.
Originally, Ning Lang wanted to clenched his teeth and insisted, and smashed his blood. He wanted to transform the surrounding poor mountains and rivers into fertile farmland, and plant spiritual plants to take root in the local area.
Unexpectedly, after a few months of hard work, an insect plague swept away all the spiritual plants, and even several pioneers were engulfed by the insect swarms, gnawing only a bone frame.
Ning Lang couldn't hold it anymore, so he could only give up his stronghold and fled back to Dragon City in a desperate manner.
Unexpectedly, on the retreat, he was attacked by monsters again.
These monsters followed all the way, and only launched a surprise attack when the humans were slack in the dead of night.
Caught off guard, the pioneers suffered heavy losses and had to give up most of the expensive construction machinery, barely breaking a blood path.
When the scarred pioneers fled back to Longcheng, the number of people still alive was less than one-fifth of the number of people who were alive when they left the city with their heads high and went to "start a business".
Although Ning Lang did not die by chance, he fell into a desperate situation more terrifying than death.
He is one of the organizers of this pioneering team. The start-up capital invested and the construction machinery purchased on credit are of astronomical value.
A small portion of this money is his savings, and most of them are borrowed by him.
Without the approval of the relevant department when leaving the city, it is impossible to get the compensation from the authorities and the insurance company.
Many pioneers who died in battle were brothers who had been playing since childhood. In addition to looking for him to be responsible, who else can they call?
Suddenly, Ning Lang changed from the infinite "Brother Wolf" to a mouse crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating.
He didn't dare to stay at home, and he did not know where to hide with the surviving pioneers.
Meng Chao nodded.
He roughly knows the mode of operation of the undocumented pioneers.
Since Dragon City launched a vigorous expansion and the "regular army" and "guerrillas" attacked in all directions, many capitals with nowhere to go have been willing to invest in the "guerrillas".
Specifically, unemployed youths like "Ninglang" or "Cockscomb Head" who are ambitious, fearless and have a certain fighting capacity, want to fight in the wilderness.
But they did not have the start-up funds to form teams, purchase weapons and ammunition, build strongholds, and transform environmental engineering machinery, including training for pioneers to survive in the wild.
It doesn't matter, as long as the courage is big enough and the fist is hard enough, all the forces of their own are willing to invest, from the manpower to the weapons to the knowledge, technology and equipment needed to build a stronghold, they will provide a unified service.
If they are willing to let these capital into shares, even if the stronghold is destroyed by monsters, pioneers will not have to bear too much responsibility.
Of course, if the base is acquired by a large company or related department, the capital will take the bulk of the profit.
However, Ning Lang's choice is estimated to be another model, rejecting capital stocks, just pure loans and credit purchases.
In this case, as long as you have a firm foothold in the wilderness, all the benefits will be yours.
But once the entire army is annihilated, it means that the disaster is over.
You know, going out of the city without permission is always a gray industry.
Although in terms of the survival committee, as long as it can solve the unemployment problem of the youth population and increase the actual employment rate of Longcheng, it is willing to turn a blind eye.
But those who are willing to provide funding and resource support to undocumented pioneer teams will not be good men and women after all.
Their money is not so easy to take.
Could it be said that Ning Lang was eager to pay off his debts, so he did not know where he got a batch of "shen change capsules" and sold them to the pioneering team of Cockscomb to make a profit?
"Those guys just now are your brother's creditors?"
Meng Chao asked, "Do you know what they are from?"
Ning Xing bit his lip, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, my brother seems to have borrowed money from more than one place. Recently, I have been to several debt collectors."
"It didn't hurt you?"
"No, there are so many people here after all, they don't dare to mess around, at most...that's it."
Ning Xing's eyes were red, his chest was straightened out, and he pretended to be mature and calm, and said, "Brother Chao, don't worry, I'll be fine. These guys today are not terrible. Those who came from Chaocheng a few days ago Guys, it's really vicious, but I'm not afraid of them—this is a temporary settlement, not a nest city!"
"The nest city?"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
Nest city, from the era of zombies rampant all the way to today’s super slum, a place where dirt and dirt are hidden, a paradise for criminals, a lair for the lost, incubation pools of countless gray and even black industries, a parasitic in the dragon city , The malignant tumor that must be removed.
By the way, among the memory fragments of Meng Chao's previous life, Dragon City only has the largest remaining "Golden Tooth Nest City" among the three nest cities. In the middle and late period of the Monster War, there was a large-scale fire.
The fire burned hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens living in Chaocheng.
It also caused countless people in the nest city who barely made a living relying on gray industries to lose their only source of livelihood.
It also releases countless criminals and lost people who lie deep in the nest city.
As a result, the social security of Longcheng deteriorated drastically overnight, and the rate of vicious crime increased dozens of times, almost regressing back to the chaotic era of lawlessness before the establishment of the Survival Committee.
The chaos of social order has severely weakened Dragon City’s combat effectiveness, giving the monsters various opportunities to take advantage of, causing the monsters to launch the largest wave of counterattacks in the later stages of the war. Although they failed to completely reverse the situation, they also suffered heavy casualties and vitality. Badly hurt.
"How did the fire in the Golden Tooth Nest City in the previous life burn up?"
Meng Chao put this question in his heart for the time being, and said: "Ning Xing, I would like to lose in the gambling and repay the debt. This is a matter of course and righteousness. Your brother is not a way to hide in Tibet.
"However, it's not a disaster for your family. No matter how much money he owes, it has nothing to do with you. It really shouldn't make you scared all day.
"In this way, if you can trust Brother Chao, tell me where your brother is now, I'll go talk to him and come up with a solution."
"Brother Chao, if you are willing to help my brother, that would be great."
Ning Xing became excited, her eyes glowed with hope, but the light soon dimmed, she shook her head, embarrassed, "But, I really don’t know where my brother is hiding. These days, many creditors are looking for him. , He's been fascinated all the time."
Meng Chao thought for a while, and said, "So, when was the last time you saw him?"
"last week."
Ning Xing said, "I forgot whether it was Thursday or Friday. Anyway, he sneaked back in the middle of the night. Without even waking up, Mom gave me 500 yuan so that I would never be discovered by anyone. If there is no other way, take it out again.
"By the way, he also said that he was sorry for his family, but as long as we hold on, he can pay off his debts and get a large sum of money, enough to make the family worry about food and clothing, and let his mother live a comfortable life. I also have enough training resources to be admitted to key high schools."
Ning Xing was a sensible child, and he kept these words in his heart, and no one had told him.
However, in the name of the Disabled Star Club and Superstar Resources, Meng Chao has conducted many charity activities in temporary settlements, and he has been a teacher in the martial arts training class for many days, and he is very serious about giving his classmates.
Ning Xing sincerely thanked Meng Chao, and regarded him as an omnipotent big brother, with faint expectation, could not help telling the truth.
"Get a lot of money..."
Meng Chao thought about it, and quickly judged that the money Ning Lang said was not earned by reselling the Shenbian capsule.
The reason is simple.
Ninglang's "customer" is a person like Jiguantou, and he doesn't have much money. I am afraid that he will have to wait for the successful pioneering to settle the payment.
Because it's an Erdao dealer, even if the payment is settled, Ninglang won't make a lot of money, and it's not enough to pay off the debt and let the family live a good life without worry.
Relying on the power increase brought by the Shenbian Capsule, once again out of the city to open up the land?
It's impossible. Ninglang's credit record has been rotten, and no one will lend him any more money, or buy on credit the weapons and construction machinery he needs for pioneering.
Besides, the benefits of pioneering land are not clear. Even if you successfully establish a foothold and are really acquired by a large company, it will take a year and a half of operation cycle.
Nor did Meng Chao feel that Ning Lang was just comforting his younger sister.
I learned about Ning Lang's character from Qin Hu and Ning Xing. He was not the kind of person who would deceive his family.
So, what is he going to do...
An ominous premonition faintly appeared in Meng Chao's heart.
He asked Ning Xing about the address of his friend who had played better with Ning Lang, that is, the survivor who had fled back to Dragon City together.
Several survivors live in temporary settlements.
Let Ning Xing stay calm, Meng Chao left and looked for the address of a survivor.
Before I found the specific house number, from a distance, I saw the fierce and brutal man who had just come to press for debt, hurriedly leaving the temporary settlement.
