Data Wasteland

After chatting with the three of them, Chen Xing returned to the room, turned on the LCD screen on the table, connected the black watch, and called up the book menu. He wanted to relax while reading a novel.

But after opening it, I couldn't concentrate at all. Looking at the dense text on it, it was like a little tadpole swimming around. His thoughts were a little confused, and he couldn't figure out a clear line.

"The Luo family is the weakest of the Seventh Family in Grayhorn City. They don't even have a decent guard..."

Ye Yang Bailiu's words flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought that he still had too little knowledge of the powerful families in various places to analyze them.

You know, the family of magnates is the smallest unit that constitutes the upper class in this world. They usually have a history of two to three hundred years or more. Deep and leafy, entrenched in one side. Although there are occasional changes, the process is very slow. Their every move often affects the rise and fall and the future of a region.

He was a low-level mercenary in his previous life, so naturally he didn't pay attention to these, but now it is different, and he can no longer know nothing. So he closed the novel, called up the map of the United Kingdom of Ambergris River, and began to study.

From the map, a large river divides into several tributaries from northwest to southeast. This river is the "Longxian River", which originated in the Longya Mountain Range and goes to sea on the west side of the red soil continent.

To the north of the middle reaches of the Longxian River, to the west of the Chiyan Mountains, is the Red Dragon Principality where he is now.

The national power of the Red Dragon Principality is considered the middle and upper reaches of the United Kingdom. Although there is not much fertile land, it has a large territory and occupies most of the northern wilderness.

There are four cities in the Principality, namely the royal capital "Monitor City", the commercial city "Crow City", the mining city "Big Mountain Ridge", and the wilderness city "Grey Horn City". Lanhua Town is a fringe town under the jurisdiction of Grayhorn City.

The Luo family is one of the seven great families in Gray Point City. In terms of numbers, the family in Gray Point City is much larger than the four families in Crow City and the three families in Dashanling. In other words, the competition between families will be much fierce, and resources will be relatively small.

So, what is the position of the Luo family in the aristocratic family of Grayhorn City?

It can be seen from Ye Yangqingyan's attitude towards Luo Shaoqing that their status is not high. And after Ye Yang Bailiu's reminder, he remembered that he hadn't seen the accompanying elder of the Luo family that day. And Luo Shaoqing's personal strength does not seem to be very good. As long as you ignore the background of the other party, it is really not to be afraid. This is a world of the strong, and the fist is everything, which is why Luo Shaoqing cannot become strong in the face of him.

Maybe his physical stats are not as good as the opponent, but he has a trio that can instantly suppress the opponent. For example, the last time he dealt with Ye Yang Qingyan, he seized the opportunity. In battles, especially battles with firearms, the outcome is often only a momentary matter.

Thinking of this, he also remembered that when Ye Yangqingyan first arrived, he seemed to be closer to Roy who used the "Ice Shield Technique". Roy is the eldest young master of the Moore family in Crow City, a bit taller than Luo Shaoqing in both looks and temperament.

It turns out that this little green tea has already found a next home, no wonder it is eager to draw a clear line from the past. Since this is the case, he can also do a trick to bring Luo Shaoqing's hatred to Roy. After all, people are the master, and he is incidental.

In addition, Zhang Meng's eagerness to achieve results also has a good side, that is, he is willing to communicate and he is not that strong.

After some thoughts, he decided to respond positively and could not wait for things to come to his door. First clarify Zhang Meng's thoughts, and then communicate with Mo Anshan, and try to minimize the loss.

The next day, he sent someone to invite Zhang Meng to the water station as a guest. As he expected, Zhang Meng did not postpone, but came happily. Chen Xing also specifically consulted Ye Yang Bailiu, and asked the chef to cook some dishes in line with the eating habits of the family's children, drinking and chatting in the restaurant of the water station.

"Team Chen manages this well," Zhang Meng said with a smile.

"It's okay." Chen Xing nodded, and then sighed, "But to be honest, this place has just been built, many facilities are not complete, and the villagers have just moved here, so the sense of belonging is not very strong." He said. The subtext of the words is: "My heart is unstable here, your driving conditions are too bad, and there will be problems at any time."

"Um..." Zhang Meng nodded thoughtfully, then held up the wine glass and said to him, "I understand the difficulty of Team Chen, but..." He paused before saying, "I'll give you something. At the end, the clan only gave me two hundred people and twelve mechas this time. I need five hundred workers. The money can be calculated at the market price, but it can only be settled after the exploration is completed."

"Five hundred people, will it be too many?" Chen Xing asked.

What is the concept of five hundred people?

There are only more than 3,000 people in his entire water station, of whom less than 400 are young and middle-aged, and the rest are the elderly, women and children. As for the two gathering places in Orchid Town, after learning the news of the family's move in, they had already run most of the time, and the rest were immobile.

"Not all young adults..." Zhang Meng hinted.

How can Chen Xing not understand, it means that the cannon fodder responsible for exploring can be used by women, children, or the elderly. Although he was disgusted in his heart, he did not show it and said without any emotion, "The wages can be settled later, but if an accident occurs, there are casualties, and the pension cannot be paid in time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction and even riots."

"It's okay, I still have two hundred soldiers." Zhang Meng said disapprovingly, "If Team Chen finds it inconvenient, Zhang can do it for him at any time."

His meaning is very clear, if Chen Xing hinders face, he can use force to force the refugees to obey.

"Is this going to..." Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's too inhumane."

"Really?" Zhang Meng slowly put down his glass, looked at Chen Xing, and said seriously, "Team Chen, I must remind you that refugees have no human rights."

"Strictly speaking, they are just aboriginals in the marginal zone, not those'distrustful'." Chen Xing said.

"Is there a difference?" Zhang Meng's tone became meaningful. "I think a group of rats in the wasteland shouldn't be an obstacle between us." As he said, he picked up the wine glass again and drank it. If this matter is done, you are my Zhang Meng’s brother. If I become the head of the Patriarch in the future, your benefits will be indispensable."

Chen Xing didn't speak, but just bowed his head in thought, Zhang Meng then said, "I dare not say anything else, it is not difficult to arrange a major of the defenders of Grayhorn City."

"Haha..." At this moment, Chen Xing raised his head and smiled.

Zhang Meng thought he agreed and smiled, but the next second, the smile froze on his face.

"Shao Zhang, do you think..." Chen Xing raised the glass and asked, "How is my strength?"

"This..." Zhang Meng seemed a little hesitant. He finally remembered that Chen Xing blasted Yang Zhiyong with a punch, and took the Yang family's unique fire dragon wave with his bare hands, with unpredictable strength. Not to mention the elite level, even the guard level is possible.

With such strength, but succumbing to a marginal town to be the captain, this was originally a mystery. The two girls of the Baishi family are still trying to win each other, how could they be tempted by this little benefit.

But he hadn't clarified his thoughts yet, and the other party threw a second blockbuster.

"Also, what do you think..." Chen Xing said with a smile, "How is the strength of my subordinates?"

"Ah..." Zhang Meng couldn't help being startled, his pupils gradually enlarged. He remembered again that that day, one of Chen Xing's subordinates, a man wearing a steel armor, also blasted Yang Zhiyong with a punch.

Young Master Yang is also the most outstanding junior of the Yang family anyway. His strength is far beyond the elite level, and he is close to the guard level, and he has suffered many losses. The ensign in front of him became more and more mysterious.

"Brother Chen..." Zhang Meng subconsciously changed his name, and asked with a bit of humility, "Zhang Meng is a little bit confused. With the strength of a brother, why is he staying here?"

Chen Xing showed a mysterious smile and did not rush to answer. After a while, Zhang Meng became a little anxious, and said pretentiously, "I am not a local..." He deliberately stretched his voice, "To be precise, I am not from this continent."

"Then you are..." Zhang Meng doubted.

"I am a native of the Eastern Continent. Let me come to my clan to experience and learn from your local customs in the Red Earth Continent." When Chen Xing checked the information just now, he discovered that although the Red Earth Continent does not have a family with the Chen surname, there are in the Eastern Continent!

Anyway, the mountains are long and long, separated by the vast ocean, no one knows about it.

"My God..." Zhang Meng suddenly realized, then clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that it is Young Master Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"No, no..." Chen Xing quickly declined, "I told you when your brother was too, this matter..." He lowered his head and slowly leaned in.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Meng hurriedly leaned over, looking attentively.

Chen Xing glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk around, let me keep a low profile in the clan, after all..." When he said this, he stopped, with a tacit meaning.

"I understand, I understand..." Zhang Meng nodded repeatedly, as if a chicken pecking at rice.
