Just as Wei Lun sighed, a report came through the time-space headset.
Fu Xixi's voice was extremely ethereal and melodious.
"Boss, Madam, there's a batch of radars in the settlement warehouse. Do you think they'd be useful?"
Fu Xixi seemed a little embarrassed as she spoke, after all, it was somewhat shameful to talk about a radar that was completely outdated.
But Wei Lun heard a different story.
What did I just say? The base's security wasn't guaranteed, but now that we have radar, can't we detect danger in time?
How many?
Wei Lun asked excitedly, "Even if radar isn't of great use, it would be very helpful for the base to detect movements in the surrounding area in a timely manner."
Just as he wished, Wei Lun was overjoyed, and Qin Mutong's eyes lit up as well.
"Reporting to the boss, there are about a dozen of them. They look like they haven't been used for a long time; they're covered in dust."
Fu Xixi reported, because she managed the entire Guardian Group, so she knew more about many things than the boss, Wei Lun.
"Okay! That's settled, install one at each base."
Wei Lun said happily, "With the radar base, the security problem is solved."
After the call ended, Wei Lun smiled and looked at Qin Mutong.
"Let's go get something to eat."
Holding Qin Mutong's hand, the two happily walked into the house.
...
now,
Du Kun was leading his guards outside searching for supplies, although the main task of Du Kun's guards was research and development.
However, some machinery is often missing, so Du Kun has to actively search for it.
Having just finished the meeting, Du Kun led his team back to headquarters.
As Du Kun walked through a block, he spotted a shop that looked quite hidden.
Driven by curiosity, Du Kun headed towards the hidden shop, as these places tend to have more accurate information.
Pushing open the shop door, Du Kun walked in without any guards. He planned to go in alone to assess the situation; having guards with him would only instill fear in everyone.
Once inside, Du Kun suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out this was a gambling den.
The people inside all seemed to be on a high, gambling away their entire life savings.
Although Du Kun had some doubts, he understood that in this apocalyptic world, people inevitably wanted some form of entertainment, and this was unavoidable.
What's strange, however, is that everyone here seems to know each other very well.
When Du Kun entered, many people stared at him with suspicion, as if he were an outsider.
"Brother, who owns this gambling den?"
Du Kun asked a person standing in the corner, who appeared to be one of the waiters.
The waiter was a little surprised, but quickly realized that Du Kun was a newbie who didn't even know who owned the shop.
"Sir, this shop is not run by one person, but by a team."
The waiter explained that many first-time visitors are very curious, and that gambling dens are actually not allowed in such areas.
However, management wasn't very strict because there was very little entertainment available in the area, so everyone turned a blind eye.
"team?"
Du Kun was even more puzzled. Wasn't it opened by one person, or by many people who invested together?
"Yes, it's a team. To be precise, this store doesn't actually have a boss."
The waiter smiled and spoke politely, after all, Du Kun's attire suggested he wasn't an ordinary person.
Ordinary people's clothes are dirty, but Du Kun's clothes make him look like a rich man. In this gathering place, the rich are all people of status and cannot be offended.
Many of the waiters declined to comment, perhaps for reasons of confidentiality and security.
Du Kun reluctantly found a seat and sat down. The entire gambling den was incredibly lively.
"Damn it, we lost again!"
"Hahaha, I won!"
"10,000 zombie crystals, I'm rich!"
"Old Zhang, you've lost everything, you'd better get lost!"
...
The gambling site seemed perfectly normal, but Du Kun was very interested in this so-called team.
As members of the Guardian Group's management, now that they've come across this shop, it's practically necessary for them to find out the backgrounds of these people.
Because the boss recently said that the Guardian Group is not safe, which means that everything, no matter how small, needs to be carefully investigated.
Soon, someone caught Du Kun's attention.
The waiter would often say something to this person, implying that this person was part of the team.
Du Kun slowly stood up and walked towards this person.
"Hello, are you one of the shareholders of this store?"
Du Kun wore a faint smile as he tried to inquire about the shop.
The shareholder looked somewhat surprised, but quickly recovered; after all, those who frequent gambling dens are mostly people with nothing better to do.
"Hello, I suppose so. May I ask what I can do for you?"
The shareholder's face was very cold, but he couldn't run away; after all, this was their base of operations.
"Don't you know that gambling dens are prohibited in settlements?"
Du Kun questioned, "Although the management isn't very strict, if I wanted to shut down this shop, it would be a piece of cake. With just one order, this shop could be shut down!"
"Sir, we have no other choice. There's not much profit in ordinary businesses. We have a lot of people, and this is the only way we can support ourselves."
The shareholder explained that he was somewhat panicked, since Du Kun's statement had some connection to the authorities.
"What do you all do? How many of you are there? Where are you from?"
Du Kun questioned the shareholder, but failed to notice that a group of people, armed with weapons, were gradually approaching from behind.
“Sir, we used to manufacture machinery, such as precision instruments. Since the disaster, we were forced to band together. Now, this shop is the only one that can barely support us. Sir, please be lenient.”
The shareholder spoke with a pleading expression, clearly worried that if the person in front of him was from the Guardian Group, they would be in serious trouble.
However, what they didn't know was that Du Kun was not only a member of the Guardian Group, but also a high-ranking member!
However, upon learning that they manufactured mechanical instruments, Du Kun became quite interested; this was certainly good news.
Our research is nearing success; what we're really lacking now is technical personnel skilled in precision instrument manufacturing.
Could it be that we're about to discover another batch of talented individuals?
Why can't these talented people live normal lives? Ugh! This damn apocalypse!
With a smile, Du Kun said, "Tell the people behind you to behave themselves, or this place will be razed to the ground by the word of my command!"
Du Kun appeared calm and collected, but one sentence completely intimidated everyone present. They all stepped back and dared not approach. The fact that he dared to say such a sentence confirmed that he was from the Guardian Group!
"Let me ask you a question: if the guards were to recruit you, would you be willing to come with us? The old job, or researching precision instruments! Like, chips!"
