Chapter 271

Now he has only one eye under his nose.

"Then you can go out and work now. I hope you can complete the task as soon as possible and don't bother me again."

The boss put his hands down and said.

He blinked his eyes on his hand and shouted, "Yes, yes, I am exhausted."

"OK."

I said with a smile.

Shoji and I left our boss' office to complete a mission, this time to catch a colorful giant moth.

The fluttering moth was stuck on the spider's web, but refused to die. When it flapped its wings, it stirred up a gust of wind. A tornado had already formed over there, and if it continued like this, a sandstorm would come.

If a dust storm comes in, everyone will be in trouble. The door here is broken. It will fall down if there is another gust of wind. We need to repair it, which is another hassle.

And you don’t know what will happen during the repair.

If animals from outside wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to come in and play, they would definitely not be able to be stopped without even a door.

I trapped the moth with an oversized jellyfish net and then crushed it to death.

Its wings were as hard as steel wire, but they softened when I lit a fire.

Now all you have to do is escape from the flames to avoid being found by the spider.

I was very fast and ran away in a flash.

After completing the mission, I returned to report.

My boss promoted me, and now I'm a second-level employee.

I want to write a letter to my friend.

I told him in the letter that I got promoted and now he and I are at the same level, but he is not in the company, so there is only one person at this level.

But now that person has changed to me.

My friend wrote back to tell me that he had dealt with a group of bandits and now he is the bandit leader.

I asked him if he had changed, and he said no.

I asked him how the people around him were doing, and he said they all looked normal.

Three eyes, five arms, four legs, yes, everyone is normal.

I said good.

The boss found me and asked me to clean up the mutants outside the city in preparation for the siege.

"It's your business how to deal with it, don't ask me. Anyway, I'll leave it to you. If you can't do it, you can die. If you do it well, I will consider giving you more money.

If you want to replace the position of the second-level staff, that's fine too.

The premise is that the results you produce satisfy me.

I hope you know that my satisfaction is not the same as other people's ideas.

Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, you can leave now. ”

The boss said to me while sitting in the office.

"I think I have an idea."

I said to him hesitantly.

"Then tell me, and I'll think about it."

The boss said to me.

I told him my idea.

"I want to send a batch of food out. In name, the food is sent to the people in the protection station far outside the city. In fact, the food can be poisoned.

There are bandits outside. If bandits come to rob, you should abandon your armor and weapons and give them food. They will die after eating the poisonous food. Their bodies can be taken as trophies.

Their stuff could be more like spoils of war.

They have been out there for so many years, you can imagine how much wealth they have accumulated.

They were just outside the city, not far from the mutants, and not far from the city. How could they do nothing when they were so close? That was a lot of money.

If they had the brains to not eat the poisonous food, they might have put it somewhere else.

The poisonous food placed somewhere else would surely be noticed by mutants or something.

For example, mutants.

If the mutants noticed, they would definitely steal it. They would not pay attention to protecting the poisonous food, and the mutants could easily steal the poisonous food. They have no brains.

After their victory, they just feel happy and don't think.

They don't even check.

Because many people run away when they see them, and this is normal.

So they would eat the poisonous food and then die.

In this way, when we go to pick up corpses, we will be able to go out quickly, come back quickly, complete the task quickly, and get a lot of money.

You won't suffer any loss in any case, and it is very safe.

We just need to pay a batch of food, we have a lot of moldy, rotten food that normal people can no longer eat.

Bandits don't have high demands for food.

Neither do mutants.

If it's someone at the protection station, they won't receive it at all, so there's no need to worry.

What's more, there is a distance from the city to the protection station. This distance is enough for the food to change. Anything can happen. It is normal for the food to be different from normal.

Mutants are not very suspicious.

Foods that have been stored for a long time and are almost poisonous to normal people can also be put in.

Since we have to poison them anyway, we might as well just use poisonous food.

This way we can just treat it as transporting out a batch of garbage.

The garbage can't stay in the city forever.

Isn't it a good thing to take out the garbage and complete the mission while clearing out the enemies?"

I asked.

"It sounds good, but I have to think about it carefully. You have to know that a batch of food is not a small amount, not just a grain of rice, a bag of oil, a little salt, and some rotten dry grass.

In fact, if you just want dry straw, you can get it by just sweeping the floor in the prison.

If you want poisonous food, you can pick mushrooms from the corners of the prison.

Those things are all poisonous, but they are all edible. If you don't die from eating them, then you can use them as food.

But most people in the city would not eat those things, because most people would be poisoned to death by them.

Transporting toxic things is also risky. If you don't go, I will have to choose someone else. Even if you go, you can't transport such a large amount of food by yourself.

If you don't transport enough food, the poisonous food won't kill you, but enough mutants will teach them a lesson.

This method won't work next time.

That was a huge loss of life for us.

I need to think about a lot of things. Give me some time. You can come to see me tomorrow, but if I don’t come to you, you’d better not come.

Because I usually have more to do than you.

And I don’t want to explain it to you.”

The boss looked at me and asked, do you understand?

I nodded.

My boss asked me to leave the office.

After a while, my boss informed me and asked me to do a task.

I know what he means, he has agreed with my idea.

Then I did as I have said.

I arranged for some people to deliver food.

The boss said it would be best if I took the lead in this matter, so I became the leader of the food delivery team.

Nominally, this team was tasked with delivering food to the defense stations outside.

Defense posts are set up outside the city and are distributed in many places.

They might guide lost people, or clear out the mutants around them. Or they might want to live in seclusion, so they accept missions to guard the place, or go out to record data.

The people in the defense station have little connection with the people in the city, but they are not completely disconnected.

Normally, there is only basic communication, transporting materials and information to each other, which in a sense is also to expand the defense line and living area of ​​humans who have not yet completely transformed.

If a place doesn't even have a defense station, then it must be a dangerous area.

If there is a defense post near this place, then although this place is not considered a safe area, it is not certain to die if you travel alone.

Those who are brave enough can give it a try.

As everyone knows, the inside of the city is the safest area.

In addition to the three situations mentioned above, there is another one, which belongs to heaven.

Heaven is a gathering place for believers of some religions.

They believe in the same God and pray every day.

When they go out, they travel in groups, just like wild dogs or rats, which cannot be killed easily.

They have an endless supply of magical instruments made from humans.

Some are useful, some are not.

They preach like a virus. If they benefit one person, that person will join them. They are willing to do so.

If someone insulted their God in front of them, that person would die a miserable death.

And everyone who has anything to do with that person will be wiped out, and the name they use is blasphemous.

This kind of thing happens all the time, so most people who don't live in the city often know about it.

They also come into contact with defense sites, but on a more superficial level, usually exchanging supplies and occasionally information.

However, because most people think they are abnormal, they stay away from them, and they don't have a very high degree of favorability towards other people.

If they approach a person, they probably want that person to become their companion, that is, a believer in their God.

They need to be vigilant when they go out.

However, they are easier to communicate with than completely mutated people, and they don't attack people on sight. They also have their own activities on weekdays. Sometimes they look happier than the people in the city.

So if you meet them and they don't attack you right away, you don't need to worry too much about what they will do.

However, because they think differently from others, we cannot completely trust them. Just like most of the time, when one person says to another person that he is doing this for your own good, it is usually one-sided.

This does not mean that their good intentions are necessarily false.

So even if it's just an act, you can't be too bad to them on the surface, otherwise they might attack out of anger or sadness.

That is another matter, and if one is really attacked because he or she has gone too far, then to some extent it is his or her own fault and he or she does not deserve sympathy.

The food delivery team left the city and walked for a while, feeling thirsty.

"Can we have some water?"

"I feel like I'm dying of thirst. The sun is too strong today."

"Strange, when did the sun above our heads come out? I remember there was no such sun in the city."

"Inside the city and outside the city are two different things. The sun inside the city is pure and flawless, without pollution, and can be looked at directly. The sun outside the city is chaotic and full of pollution, and cannot be looked at directly."
