Chapter 17 It is our honor to share your worries!

  Chapter 17 It is our honor to share your worries! It was

  late at night.

  Chu Guang slept very uneasily. He woke up several times. He touched the gun hidden in the sleeping bag with his hand and fell asleep again.

  The shelter was too comfortable and there was no need to worry about any danger. He was unable to adapt to the unstable environment when he suddenly returned to it.

  ”I’ve been slacking off.”

  Chu Guang sighed and touched the gun hidden in the quilt unconsciously. The thick and long barrel gave him a sense of security.

  I don’t know what’s going on

  with the players. Although I told Xiao Qi what to do when I’m not around, I still feel uneasy when I’m not around.

  I woke up at five in the morning and couldn’t fall asleep, so I just kept my eyes open and waited quietly. It was

  n’t until dawn outside the window that he got out of his sleeping bag, put on his clothes, and carried the steel pipe and the gun he had just bought.

  It will probably take a long time for me to come back this time.

  The mayor’s collection forced him to move forward the plan of moving, and all preparations had to be completed before the end of the month.

  If he could not reserve enough supplies for a hundred people, he would have to wait until February or March next year to conduct the next round of testing.

  The whole winter would be wasted.

  Pushing the door open.

  Chu Guang, who had packed his equipment and was ready to leave, happened to run into the men of the Wang family.

  Wang Defu, who was making trouble at his door yesterday, glanced at him without saying a word, but his eyes were somewhat provocative.

  Perhaps because his father and eldest and second brothers were beside him, and because he was carrying a hunting tool, he was obviously much braver than yesterday, and seemed to be showing off.

  Chu Guang certainly would not argue with the little brat.

  The sixteen-year-old boy was already a man who could stand on his own in Beth Street, but in his eyes, he was just a child who hadn’t even grown all his hair.

  ”Hey, don’t die.”

  Chu Guang ignored him and didn’t even look at him.

  The child of the Wang family was angry, gritted his teeth, and his face flushed. He felt humiliated by the outsider’s disregard.

  However, just when he was about to do something irrational to provoke, the elder brother next to him suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.

  Although he was still a little indignant, Wang Defu quickly calmed down.

  It can be seen that this child listens to his brother very much.

  Chu Guang glanced at the eldest son of the Wang family, and the strong man was also looking at him.

  From that man, Chu Guang sensed a hint of danger, but it was not obvious.

  Interestingly, when observing him, the man’s face also showed a hint of surprise, although it was hidden very carefully.

  Hunter’s intuition-

  this guy is not easy to deal with!

  After a brief eye contact, both parties quickly moved their eyes away.

  There is no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

  The people of the Wang family walked away.

  Chu Guang was also ready to leave.

  At this time, a crisp voice came from behind.

  ”Be careful on the road.”

  Chu Guang stopped and looked back, and saw Xiaoyu hiding behind the door and peeking at him.

  Chu Guang smiled and said lightly.

  ”Well, thank you.”

  ”No.”

  In the blink of an eye, the little girl slipped back into the house and disappeared.

  …

  At six o’clock in the morning, it was almost dawn.

  The gate of Bet Street slowly opened, and the survivors, carrying backpacks, bows and arrows, short knives, crossbows and other tools, stepped on the cracked concrete road and the weeds growing out of the cracks, and headed towards the devastated ruins in groups of three or five.

  However, two hundred years later, it is no longer so easy to search for good things in the wasteland. Occasionally picking up shells dropped by mercenaries or looters can be regarded as treasures.

  Chu Guang did not leave the settlement immediately, but spent some time at the door. After everyone had gone far away, he went to Old Charlie’s recycling station.

  ”I need 7 kilograms of green wheat, which is the blackjack chips. There are also tobacco leaves for pickled meat… How much can 4 chips be exchanged for?” Chu Guang had never bought it before, so he asked.

  ”1 point is one ounce.”

  ”Then give me four ounces!”

  Food is the key to development.

  Only by preparing more food can we recruit more players to work for ourselves.

  It is impossible for the survivors to drink porridge made from green wheat every day. Even if they can bear it, I can’t bear it.

  Now that he had a gun, hunting would be much easier than before.

  Chu Guang planned to buy some tobacco leaves and make pickles out of the uneaten meat to keep for the winter.

  Old Charlie raised his eyelids.

  ”I remember you bought five kilograms of green wheat a few days ago.”

  ”Any questions?” Chu Guang answered casually.

  Old Charlie grinned.

  ”Nothing, it’s good to save more money.”

  Chu Guang, who was planning for the future, suddenly became alert.

  The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.

  He suddenly realized a problem.

  He hadn’t brought back any useful garbage or other harvests for a while, but he had purchased a large amount of supplies twice in a row.

  The mayor might not necessarily notice a small figure like him, but other people would inevitably wonder where they got so much money from.

  But Old Charlie didn’t say anything, perhaps he didn’t care at all. He helped him weigh the food, then smiled and sent him out the door.

  ”I was careless…”

  After leaving the gate of Beth Street and turning a corner, Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and observed for a while, and then continued forward.

  More than 10 chips are a huge sum of money for scavengers, because they usually can’t save money.

  However, he took out more than 20 chips twice in a row to buy supplies that he couldn’t consume in a short time.

  Old Charlie was kind to him. After all, he came from the shelter, but he was the mayor’s servant after all.

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang frowned.

  It’s a pity that the merchant named Lister only accepts food and sells industrial products from Boulder City.

  Perhaps, I should try my luck at Brown Farm.

  …

  Seven kilograms of green wheat and ten liters of drinking water, plus bullets and equipment, weighed more than twenty kilograms, weighing heavily on his shoulders.

  In addition to moving things, Chu Guang had to be careful to conserve his energy and beware of the dangers lurking in the shadows.

  Even though his muscles were full of extraordinary strength, he could only walk a certain distance and stop for a while to observe the road conditions before continuing.

  The road outside the settlement was not easy to walk, and sometimes he had to bypass the collapsed road and pass through the collapsed high-rise buildings.

  Chu Guang suddenly envied the protagonists in “The Last of Us” and “Dying Light” who could parkour in the ruins with a lot of things on their backs, while he could only walk one step at a time.

  Maybe…

  I should buy a cow next time?

  I just don’t know if Lister will sell it.

  Fortunately, none of the aliens he met along the way discovered him.

  Passing through the ruins.

  After walking along the road for a while, Chu Guang finally arrived at the sanatorium in the wetland park before 8:30 in the morning.

  However, what surprised Chu Guang was that when he arrived, he found that the four closed beta players had all come online.

  Not only that.

  Outside the wall of the sanatorium, there were four half-man-high earthen stoves and a hemispherical earthen kiln about one man high.

  What…

  is this?

  He didn’t remember that he had given the task of building the stove.

  ”Mr. Manager! You are finally back.” Looking at the surprised manager, Fang Chang walked up and said with a smile.

  ”I was delayed outside all night.” Chu Guang stared at the stoves intently, and even forgot to put down the things on his back. “… How is the situation here? Have you encountered any aliens or other survivors?”

  ”Everything is normal! There are no unexpected situations!”

  Fang Chang reported their work to Chu Guang with a flushed face.

  The four half-man-high stoves were used to burn charcoal, and the stove with a blast hole next to it was used to calcine the coarse materials of cement at high temperature.

  ”We burn the bark into ash, then add it to water and stir it, filter out the potash water on the top, squeeze out the remaining mud to get calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate for making cement.”

  ”Then, we add these raw materials into the blast furnace and calcine them into orange-red, then mix them with the sand picked up from the river, add water and mix well, and we get ash cement!”

  What the hell?

  To be honest, Chu Guang was shocked by the hands-on ability of these players. It’s

  not that he hadn’t tried to make cement with ash mixed with mud before, and he used the method taught by Bihu, but the things he made would break when he squeezed them, and they were completely useless.

  Now it seems that his method was wrong.

  Is the blast furnace and secondary calcination the key?

  And the purity of the ash…

  Fang Chang didn’t stop talking and continued.

  ”…We plan to use cement to repair the walls of the sanatorium! By the way, we also collect the filtered potash water in containers. This stuff can be used to tan leather, which is very useful!”

  ”You… did a great job.”

  After thinking for a long time, Chu Guang couldn’t think of what to reward these players, and he could only think of such a sentence of praise.

  However, Fang Chang was excited when he heard this.

  It’s up!

  Favorability!

  It must have increased!

  Not missing this opportunity, Fang Chang read out the lines he had thought about all night with a serious face.

  ”For the continuation of civilization!”

  ”It’s our honor to share your worries!”

  ”…”

  Chu Guang suddenly didn’t know how to face him.

  Compared with himself, these players are too noble.

  ”Well said… For the continuation of civilization, and for the future of all of us.”

  After coughing, Chu Guang maintained a majestic expression, looked at the excited players and continued, “I’ll go downstairs to put the supplies, your plan is very good… Don’t worry and do it boldly!”

  Fang Chang straightened his back and said energetically.

  ”Yes, sir, manager!”

  ”You should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don’t get too tired.” Chu Guang warned.

  It’s not because of a guilty conscience or anything, but because he is worried that these players are overdoing it and overdrawing their enthusiasm too early.

  However, the player did not seem to appreciate his good intentions, and expressed his loyalty with his head held high.

  ”It is our mission to serve you, and this is also my declaration under the flag of the People’s Union!”

  Chu Guang almost couldn’t hold back when he heard this.

  The declaration is okay…

  Have you seen what the flag of the People’s Union looks like?

  ”…Okay, very energetic, go ahead.”

  Watching the player trotting away, Chu Guang sighed silently in his heart.

  After all, his worries were unnecessary.
