Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Under the curtain of the bloody rainstorm, the whole world became increasingly blurry, making it difficult to see the road ahead clearly.

With the [Wanderer Map] in his mind, Chen Ye walked through several streets, followed the shortest path, and quickly arrived at the neighborhood near Lieyang Church.

He glanced at the square from a distance, and through the thick rain and fog, he could see that it was almost crowded with people, as if they were piled up like a mountain.

The refugees who took refuge rushed to the square like crazy. In some places, they couldn't squeeze in and climbed directly to the top.

The homeless people at the bottom were squeezed by the crowd, and it was unknown whether they were crushed to death.

This shelter... looks no different from hell.

Chen Ye originally wanted to cross the square and reach the other side of the block, but now that he saw this crowd of people, he immediately gave up the idea and took a detour.

From the old road on the other side of the square, enter this intricate neighborhood of intersections.

In the buildings on both sides, many players were hiding in abandoned houses to take shelter from the rain.

You can also see traces of some indigenous people being killed.

If it is an Aboriginal house, it will generally have a land title and there are rules.

But if you can find an opportunity to lay a trap to kill the owner when he goes out, then you have conquered the house.

At this time, it would be very convenient if you have "taunting" skills.

Chen Ye thought about it carefully, and it seemed that unlocking the "Poverty Eyes" when he first became a "Wanderer" would be effective at this time.

Of course...he is now using the suona to make a sharp sound, which can also have a similar effect on the aborigines. Moreover, because the sound of the suona is more rogue and the sound is very penetrating, the taunt can be launched from a long distance away without entering the house.

If it is a low-sequence aboriginal, the probability of being affected by the characteristics will be greater. This method can be used to identify which aborigines are easier to deal with.

By then, even ordinary players, if they form a team, can deal with low-sequence aborigines very well, seize real estate from them, and thus gain a place to live.

certainly……

A large part of Mink Street was almost entirely occupied by thugs.

Most of the middle-class aborigines seemed to have been warned of the dangers here very early on. Like the Lin family, they chose to move far away, leaving behind abandoned old buildings.

Most players in distress can hide in these houses.

And...a small number of stronger indigenous people will still stay in this area.

There are some players who seek death and go to conquer these areas, but once they enter, they never come out.

Mink Street is close to industrial land. Although there are also residential buildings nearby, most of them are old buildings with a very retro style and are almost abandoned.

When Chen Ye came here, he glanced around and found that in these old buildings, players could be seen sporadically going in together, presumably they were also the victims.

Hearing Chen Ye's footsteps...

These players also secretly hid near the window and watched Chen Ye walking through the rain curtain from a distance.

However, Chen Ye quickened his pace and activated the ability of [Wanderer's Boots], quickly leaving the house behind him behind.

The players in the window looked at each other, feeling glad that they did not act rashly.

Judging from the walking speed...this passing thief is definitely not a kind person!

Players who can survive in Mink Street all know which tricks can be provoked and which tricks cannot be provoked.

Seeing Chen Ye's walking posture, they did not hesitate to put the other party into the category of "must not be messed with".

…………

Suspended in the dark space of consciousness, the circular open space in front of the [Wanderer Map] is getting closer and closer.

Chen Ye looked up and found that directly above the large industrial land, in mid-air, a huge arc bubble covered the open-air dome.

The bloody rain hit the arc blisters and slid down to the side.

That is the real estate purchased by the "Manufacturing Association". It is used as industrial land and supports thousands of workers. It is the most famous force in this Mink Street.

Even all the thugs combined would not dare to attack the "Manufacturing Association" at will.

When Chen Ye came to the door, Matthew had been waiting for a long time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Matthew looked towards the roadside and saw a tall and conspicuous figure covered in blood-colored rain curtains, covering several meters in one step, arriving here.

"I thought you would be holding an umbrella, but I didn't expect you were wearing a raincoat."

Matthew looked at Chen Ye who was walking freely in the rainstorm, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being number one on the list, he could even ignore the bloody rainstorm.

If it were an ordinary player, they would not dare to leave the house at all.

Although there will be no problem if you get a few drops on your body, with such a heavy rain, who can guarantee whether the rainwater hitting your face will enter the esophagus with breathing through the mouth and nose, thereby triggering infection.

No player has dared to try this yet, so it is temporarily unknown how high the probability of death is, as well as the specific measurement of infection.

"Good luck, this clothes is somewhat useful." Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard the description of "raincoat".

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that the dark palace robe does have the effect of a raincoat. I thought it was just like a decoration, but I didn't expect that it actually played a big role in this heavy rain.

Walking side by side with Matthew, he walked in through the gate.

Under the huge arc bubble, the surface of the behemoth-like ship was covered with trees cut down from the plantation that day.

From a distance, it looks like the entire giant ship is made up of countless pale arms, with a dead skin-like texture on its surface.

Each [craftsman] is surrounding the giant wheel and working continuously.

Looking around, the giant wheel is surrounded by human figures, almost using the power of the entire "Manufacturing Association" to speed up and complete the giant wheel.

"It'll take another day or so."

At this moment, a rough voice came from not far away. Tang Wu moved his burly and broad body and strode over, but his expression looked much more serious than before.

"I have asked the workers to speed up and try to ensure the construction deadline."

"Fortunately... thanks to the help of the Poseidon friends, we were able to create this water curtain to isolate the heavy rain. Otherwise, the project would have been affected."

"Because of this, they haven't eaten for almost a day."

Chen Ye was moved and said: "In this situation, how can we solve the problem of workers' wages?"

Mainly food and water.

After all, overtime work like this should be paid.

But now under the influence of the bloody rainstorm, the operation of the entire City of Destiny has experienced a large-scale crisis. When water sources and food are both problems, how to pay wages?

Tang Wu smiled and said: "Our manufacturing association is quite powerful. We once left a water filter purifier. It is not a problem to collect these polluted rainwater and filter it for drinking."

"Of course...this machine was left behind by my father. I searched through the entire manufacturing association's inventory and couldn't find any relevant manufacturing drawings."

"In addition, the Poseidon clan can use copper coins, bones, or certain ancient items to sacrifice, and use the power of Poseidon to bring down normal water sources."

"But now... there are blood-colored clouds in the sky, and it is impossible to obtain water by borrowing rain."

"When the water purifier is purifying this rainwater, it will obviously feel that the machine is under a heavy load..."

"We usually pay workers enough water as wages, but food is still a problem."

When Tang Wu said this, his tone could not help but reveal some worry.

After all, workers obviously feel less powerful without eating.

Although it is said to be one day... but judging from the overall progress, I am afraid that the entire construction period will be completed, not as soon as expected.

"What about your food source?" Chen Ye asked curiously.

"Originally, I purchased it from the players through the [Weird Black Market]." Tang Wu smiled bitterly, "But after the bloody rainstorm, the price of food rose again. The few chefs who were originally there seemed to be affected by the heavy rain. There is also less business, resulting in a shortage of food sources in the black market, so we can only rely on the food from the previous village to barely survive for a while."

"only……"

"The rations in the camp are almost exhausted now. We can only complete the construction period quickly and rely on your strength to solve this crisis."

Chen Ye glanced at Matthew. From this sentence, it can be judged that Matthew must have revealed the true goal of the ghost ship to Tang Wu. Therefore, he did not hesitate to use all the workers to complete the project despite the heavy rain.

"By the way, our warehouse here is so big, don't we have any inventory of ingredients left over from the past?" Chen Ye suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Yes." Tang Wu nodded and said, "There is still a lot of meat in the ice cave, but it seems to be affected by some pollution. Many workers were eaten by this meat and got into trouble, and there were not many players in the [Weird Black Market] I was willing to buy it, so it just kept sitting there gathering dust.”

Chen Ye's eyes lit up and he said, "Take me to the ice cave. I can handle these ingredients."

Tang Wu glanced at Chen Ye in surprise, then realized something and immediately led the way.

Not far from the factory, a low shed was built, filled with parts and various supplies that were unknown and had no apparent purpose.

Going deeper, there is a large ice cave. It was originally used to stack ingredients. One or two chefs were hired to use the frozen meat to make cheap and delicious workers' meals.

But since the pollution incident, the frozen meat in the ice cave has not been used, and it is all piled here.

When he opened the ice cave and took a look, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.

This full amount of frozen meat is enough to sustain the workers' rations for several days.

"wait for me a while."

Chen Ye stepped forward and took out the frozen meat.

The next second...

His face exploded and he began to process the ingredients.

Tang Wu was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately realized something, turned to look at Matthew, and said with a meaningful smile:

"You guy...it seems you didn't tell me that person's real name."

"Yeah?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows and looked calm, as if nothing happened.
