Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

"Think about it, if you had nothing, would you cook? Would you build a house? Would you grow vegetables or raise animals?"

Shen Cangsheng shook his head decisively.

If the labor in between ultimately yields no value, most people will choose to be self-sufficient.

Fudge nodded and snapped his fingers.

"now it's right."

"It's a very simple principle. Suppose you can cook, but I can't. I'll give you money, and you'll cook for me."

"Then you can take the money and find someone to do what you don't know how to do, or give you what you need."

"This is the inevitable social order; there will always be people who are good at something and people who are not."

"But what if you see money as just worthless paper? Would you still do it if I gave you the money? Of course not."

"At that point, everyone started to spontaneously use the supplies they had to exchange for goods."

"So it evolved into exchanging goods for it."

"But it is mainly popular among ordinary survivors."

“Longwu specifically reminded special personnel and combat personnel who were preparing for battle.”

"You can use your surplus supplies to buy things or services."

"But sufficient combat supplies must be retained, otherwise they will be dealt with according to the law."

"In the past, revenge spending was just because people didn't have money. But if people are spending revenge now, what if they don't have the equipment to fight a war? That would be ridiculous!"

After Fudge finished speaking, he took a glass and a kettle from the side and poured himself a cup of tea.

He also poured a few glasses for the others.

"Wow, Fudge, you've got a real knack for talking now. You've got what it takes to be a leader."

Chen Yu couldn't help but tease him from the side.

Although his tone sounded like a joke, it was clear that Fudge was different from before.

With Fudge's explanation, everyone gradually understood and accepted the idea of ​​trading with goods.

Just as everyone was about to order, Zhao Chuang suddenly closed the menu and looked at Fuji with a shocked expression.

"Brother Chicken, they added something. We have to report him to Commander Long!"

Fuji looked up at Zhao Chuang with an annoyance.

"That's a metaphor, describing how delicious it is! It doesn't mean they actually added anything!"

Zhao Chuang muttered something under his breath, then started flipping through the menu.

"Everyone, this is a complimentary drink from our shop owner."

A cute girl with big eyes, wearing an apron, is carrying a tray with six wine glasses on it, each containing a drink.

Lin Han was stunned the moment he saw the big-eyed, cute girl.

"Wait, you..." Lin Han frowned, put one hand to his forehead, and pressed his thumb to his temple.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Lin Han asked:

"You're the one from Class 3... what was your name again, Xu Ya?"

Xu Ya nodded blankly.

"Yes."

After placing the drinks in front of everyone, Xu Ya carried the tray and turned back to the kitchen.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain covering the kitchen was suddenly lifted.

The group immediately recognized the man.

It's the same old man who used to offer instant payment for equipment recycling in the third district, but the price would be lower.

"Haha, you guys didn't expect this, did you? I also run a restaurant business."

"I heard from Fudge that you were having a get-together here, so they specially brought you drinks. These aren't cheap."

"And it also has a nice-sounding name."

The old man looked at the group expectantly.

Upon seeing this expression, Zhang Ning immediately understood that he was waiting for them to ask what his name was.

Zhang Ning helplessly shrugged, then deliberately feigned surprise, saying:

Wow~ What's your name?

The old man smiled mysteriously and said:

"A long farewell."

Chapter 265 Inscription

After thanking them, the group waited for their meal to be served, and then began to enjoy it immensely.

Since their arrival, eating a regular meal has become a luxury for most people.

Most of the time, they eat ready-made foods from the local area.

the other side.

Long Wu left the conference room and arrived at a magnificent historical museum.

Compared to other buildings, this history museum has only suffered minor damage in some corners and edges due to the ravages of war over the past five years.

"Good morning, Commander Long."

"Commander Long."

As soon as Long Wu stepped into the history museum, the staff member next to him quickly stood up to greet him.

Long Wu smiled and nodded at the two of them, then walked straight toward the center.

"Commander Long's complexion is getting worse and worse."

One of the staff members looked on with some concern.

"Yes, anyone would be overwhelmed by such a burden."

"Moreover, Commander Long is here today, probably to inscribe a monument again."

"Engrave a monument?" The staff member turned around in confusion.

"You haven't been here long, so you wouldn't know."

"I heard from people before that, I don't know when it started, Commander Long began to carve special monuments for special personnel and combat readiness personnel."

"Wait, is this the kind of monument I'm thinking of?" The new employee's eyes widened.

"Yes."

"I don't know the specific reason, but every now and then, Commander Long would come over."

"The largest exhibition hall inside the museum, which is now closed, is now densely packed with stone tablets."

The exhibition hall is located deep inside the history museum.

From the outside, Long Wu sat in the center of the exhibition hall, holding a stone tablet in his left hand and a carving knife in his right.

Click click—

The carving knife scraped across the stone tablet, producing a teeth-grinding sound.

"call----"

Long Wu blew on the stone tablet to remove the residue, then carefully wiped it with his hand.

The name of a special person is clearly engraved on the stone tablet, along with their birth date.

Such stone tablets are now densely packed on the walls of the exhibition hall.

Even those who didn't join, such as Liu Yan, Fuji, and Zhao Chuang, had their names engraved on the stone tablet.

Liu Yan did not lose contact with Long Wu during the years he was away.

Liu Yan would occasionally provide Long Wu with information via military radio.

This also includes his conversations with Jacob Hafk.

After learning all this, Long Wu did not make it public.

But to say that I'm not desperate would be a lie.

He couldn't figure out how to win.

Not to mention him, even Liu Yan couldn't figure out how to win.

These stone tablets were specially prepared by Longwu for all those who would participate in the final battle.

Once the war is over, no one will be able to carve for them anymore.

And no one will remember anything that happened.

This was the only thing that could bring Longwu a sliver of peace of mind under despair and immense pressure.

Even if no one sees these stone tablets, and no one knows about them.

But they existed.

The heroic souls who sacrificed themselves for the Xia Kingdom will not end up homeless.

After carving another stone tablet, Long Wu put down his tools, took out an African heart from his pocket, and sighed.

The Heart of Africa, Xia has more than 150 stars.

But Long Wu didn't know what wish he should make.

I've tried everything that could increase my chances of winning, but without exception, none of them worked.

If it's about increasing personal strength, then yes, it can.

And with the blessing of these African hearts, it's possible that a superman could be created.

But no matter how strong an individual's strength is.

Faced with Hafk's ability to wipe out a country with a wave of his hand, and the ineffectiveness of its native technology.

What chance do they have of winning?

A victory with only one survivor?

"So, is this why the voices of our predecessors sounded so desperate when they recorded?"

Long Wu shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

Long Wu tried making wishes for the world that followed, and except for some rather exaggerated ones, all of them came true.

The same wish, if it cannot be fulfilled in the current world, will have a much higher success rate if it is granted to the next world.

"If all the hearts of Africa from now on make a wish for the next world..."

This wasn't the first time Longwu had had this idea.

If Liu Yan hadn't said during their conversation that they could only win in this world, Longwu would have passed on their hopes to the next world without hesitation.

After all, this time, even before the final battle, they had already witnessed Hafk's power.

After hesitating for a moment, Long Wu put the Heart of Africa away again.

Although there were many things Liu Yan didn't tell Long Wu.

But a voice in Long Wu's heart told him to trust Liu Yan.

"Longwu, can you hear me?!"

Just as Long Wu was about to pick up his tools to continue carving the stele, Liu Yan's urgent voice rang out around him.

"I can hear you, what's wrong?" Long Wu paused slightly as he picked up his tools, and his brows furrowed.

In the past, when Liu Yan contacted Long Wu, his tone was always very indifferent.

This time, however, Liu Yan's tone was even somewhat flustered.
