Returning from the abyss

Chapter 95 Internal Rot
An unsolicited invitation from the Silver Star Club.

Lu Wenshuo's attitude was quite sincere, and he was not as arrogant as the man he had met before.When Lu Ning looked at the hand, she began to hesitate.

"May I ask why?"

"I am aware of Chu Jianting's character. The reason why he was sent with you is also a consideration. If you can get along well and let him accept your orders, you must not be a person who only gives orders verbally. Industry The actions in the park at least show that you have a certain degree of leadership and decision-making ability. The transactions you discussed with me before are also sufficient to prove your foresight and overall concept. In summary, although your strength is not top-notch, you have the development potential that I am optimistic about .”

"I don't even know I'm so good." Lu Ning laughed and asked again, "So, if I join, do I have to complete the cultivation plan like Chu Jianting did?"

"Yes, that is a necessary process for us to ensure the survival rate of newcomers."

"That's it... that might not work."

The words of refusal did not make Lu Wenshuo look surprised, he just nodded slightly and withdrew his outstretched hand.

"So can I hear the reason this time?"

"I don't have time to spend on this kind of cultivation. After this time, I will start the step-up test. When there is a guy running in front, I can't help but speed up to catch up, right?"

"Understood, but people are different, and the progress is also different. With all due respect, you are not suitable for promotion now—"

"Thank you, but I can't wait."

Speaking of this, Lu Wenshuo no longer tried to persuade him, but sighed regretfully, walked to the truck, and offered the same invitation to Xuan Zitong.

This time, the invitation was still unsuccessful.

From Xuan Zitong's intermittent words, Lu Wenshuo could also understand what kind of situation she was in.

A team has a lot of people, about 20 people, and most of them rely on saving points to provide for the few three or four most talented people in the whole team. In this way, they "stack" almost three or four Thousands of people come.

Uncommon, but always present as a survival type.Lu Wenshuo can say that the dozen or so are almost a burden, relying on living in the test field, selling teammates, hugging thighs and shameless to earn about [-] points, and then going out to share half of them for the minority to learn from.There are no more than three reasons why such a team can be formed. The first is the family maintained by the blood relationship, the second is to raise the strength of the entire team by raising monsters, and the third is for revenge.

He didn't ask what the reason was, but just from a team like Xuan Zitong's background, it was impossible to absorb into the Silver Star Club, because such people tend to have more emotional bonds with the team than the organization.

The failure of the invitation did not affect Lu Wenshuo's cooperation with them here. After unloading the goods, he and Lu Ning had already started to discuss the intention of the whole mission.

"First of all, 22 days to collect materials and [-] days to survive, conservatively speaking, it is also a [-]-day survival scenario. From this point, it is basically certain that the two shelters cannot stop the attack of the evil claws." Lu Ning said.

"Yes, theoretically, the attack should take place within fifteen days, that is, twelve days from now. There is more than one Evil Claw. This can probably be considered that way. And the meaning of surviving the attack led by Evil Claw ..."

"Duration. The next seven days should be under attack. This setting is because our joining may delay the time when the shelter is captured. But I don't think we can prevent the shelter from being breached."

"Why do you say that?"

"I'm used to starting from the worst possibility. First of all, as the target of this hunt, how strong do you think the Evil Claw is compared to the Plasma Beast?"

"It's stronger in some ways."

"Then we have a total of [-] people this time, and we have to give each of us a hunting quota, that is, [-]. This is a lineup that the hundreds of people in the two shelters can't handle no matter what. Even if On this basis, the difficulty has been reduced, don't forget that this is the attack of the evil claw [leader]."

"The tide of monsters. It seems that you have thought of this too. What we are about to face is not just a few evil claws. But thinking about it the other way around, this means that the difficulty of hunting them will be lowered by another level."

Lu Ning listened, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"I asked Xuan Zitong to set up a minefield in the industrial park, but the plasma beast probably won't be injured... If the evil claws are at this level, even if the threat level is lowered, it will be useless."

"Huh? Do you know what's going on over there?"

"Let Xuan Zitong release the detectors. After the explosion, some detectors still lost their signal, but they didn't die." Lu Ning shook her head regretfully, "It seems that even if it is unexpected, there is still no way to kill them." it."

"What if... Evil Claw isn't such a strong single type?"

"You want to say it is a team command type? Although it has been considered, the possibility is not high."

Lu Wenshuo smiled: "Why? Evil Claws led the attack, but you don't think they are team-type monsters?"

"Strength, the difficulty of team-type monsters lies in the bodyguards, so the difficulty will be superimposed without an upper limit. According to your theory, this does not meet the difficulty of the first-order test field at all, right?"

Lu Ning looked at Lu Wenshuo and couldn't help but also laughed.

"It's almost done with the test? Tell me what plan you have, or has the plan been completed? I will cooperate with you if it is necessary to cooperate. Don't always ask questions!"

"Hahahaha, okay, let's stop here. You are really not suitable for the Silver Star Club, Lu Ning, after you get promoted, go to the second-level distribution center and find someone named Li Mingdeng."

"It's been a while and you haven't given up on pulling me into the gang yet?"

"Professional habits, hahaha, okay, okay." Lu Wenshuo suddenly lowered his voice, moved closer to Lu Ning, and said in a low voice, "Look for Li Mingdeng, just say that I recommend you to take the membership qualification exam of [Rosaceous Cross] ...without the constraints you worry about, and can help you quickly catch up with the person you want to catch up with."

Lu Ning was slightly taken aback.

=======================
In the early morning, two trucks full of supplies drove back to the gate of the refuge, and the guards guarding the gate showed a little excited expression. No matter which side it was, if someone came back, it was a profit.

Then, Vault 33's doorman watched in dismay as the two cars pulled into the opposite garage.

"Hey! Why are you so disappointed?"

Mo Lian was sitting on a motorcycle, and there were two sacks of potatoes tied to the back of her car, but they were insignificant compared to the two trucks piled up like mountains.

"The people in number 34 are so cool...you can get back so many things in one trip." The guard looked at him enviously and rubbed his stomach.He has only eaten two meals for several days, and they are all pancakes made from coarse grains, which are barely enough to fill his stomach at most.It's not that there is not enough food in the shelter, but that this winter is still very long.

Mo Lianren pushed the car into the garage here, and someone immediately came over to count the things she brought back. As a collector, she left a dozen potatoes for her, and the rest were packed away.

When she was throwing potatoes back to the dormitory, she was almost hit by a person rushing out at the corner.

It was Qiu Ren, he didn't hug Lu Wenshuo's thigh, and he did well here relying on the force he had trained several times in the distribution center, and he was allowed to join the patrol team because he knew how to punch and kick.

But now he was really flustered.

The patrol team is not only a security mission, they have to watch out for all the big and small troubles in the entire shelter. If the people here are dissatisfied, they are the first to face the firepower.

"what happened?"

"A group of lunatics! A group of lunatics!" Qiu Ren hastily straightened his clothes to make himself look less embarrassed. "Today, we started to make trouble again when we distributed food!"

"Again? It seems very common."

"A few pancakes and a bowl of porridge, what's there to argue about! They actually started a fight! He even said that he should eat more if he contributed a lot to the construction of the base. Pooh! Even if you paste two pieces of mud on the wall, you are ashamed to say that you did it yourself. Contribute! There are still people complaining that children don’t do anything, why give a share... I have to call someone, I can’t stand it.”

"How many people?"

"Forty or fifty, it's not counting the ones who haven't come back! Sooner or later, it will be more chaotic!"

Qiu Ren threw down a sentence and ran up the stairs at a faster speed.

Mo Lian shook his head and walked towards the cafeteria, but before he reached the door, he heard a noise.

"Release! Our mother and son have two and four cakes!"

"Keep your eyes open and see that it's four dollars? Don't think I didn't see how many dollars you hid!"

"I've been working for a day, so this is all I'm going to eat? I don't even see any oil, so I'm feeding the pigs, right?"

"What about the things we collected when we went out? Since we share evenly, we must see a little bit, right? Did you steal it?"

As soon as Mo Lian appeared from the door, she was immediately seen, as well as the potatoes in a net bag in her hand.

"Where did this girl come from? How can one person have so much to eat?"

"I didn't see her when I was working everywhere today. What kind of work can these thin arms and legs do?"

"She looks pretty good, I'm afraid she's the new concubine of that old pervert surnamed Zhang!"

"Sin! We work hard to eat pancakes and porridge, and such a little girl does nothing but eat spicy food!"

A group of red-eyed people rushed up aggressively, and an obvious goal made this group of people who had been shouting at each other before immediately unite together.

When the hand of the first fat woman was about to grab Mo Lianren, she took a step back and swung the net bag in her hand, and a dozen potatoes flew into the cafeteria immediately.The crowd paused for a moment, and the people behind immediately turned around and rushed towards the potatoes, while the people in front began to forcefully squeeze the people behind, making the scene even more chaotic.

Mo Lian turned his head and threw the last potato in his hand, and walked towards the accommodation area. When he passed the corner, he saw another patrol with a wry smile.

"Sorry..."

The young man was at a loss. Compared with the people who dawdled in the refuge, although Mo Lianren was a little dusty after going out, he was still cleaner. Such women were almost all in the material collection team, even if they knew about the refuge, it was rare to see them.

"Some unfamiliar faces, is someone here?"

"Recently... there are indeed rumors that some shelters have been breached. A large convoy came in the early hours of yesterday, and about three quarters of it came to our side."

"Is there enough room?"

The young man scratched his cheek, looking even more ashamed.

"Where's the food?"

"The most they have is clothes and bedding..."

Mo Lian let out a long sigh.

"How about those people?"

"Old people and children... most of them..."

It's completely normal to drag your family to join here.Mo Lianren could only shake his head, patted the young man on the shoulder, and walked to his room.The young man hesitated to speak, opened his mouth and finally couldn't say anything.

When Mo Lian returned to the door of his room, he found that the door was wide open. The narrow room that could accommodate eight people was covered with wooden boards and covered with bedding. Sixteen people were packed to the brim, and his own things were stuffed in. In the far corner of the room, piled up with the trash can.

"It sucks." Mo Lian tilted his head, showing no expression on his face.
