Chapter 296 Termites Are Dispatched (Subscription Required)
At noon, the blazing sun was high in the sky, emitting light and heat to the earth below, making plants flourish and humans sweat.
On the ground where the underground base cave was located, many survivors dug grass roots, picked wild vegetables, caught insects, and obtained the rich animal and plant resources in the mountains.
Some of the stronger and more agile hunters among the survivors stayed away from the caves, risking their lives to pick some delicious and tender wild vegetables unique to the mountains, or set traps, holding hunting knives and bows, hunting in the dense and gloomy woods, looking for opportunities to hunt some small herbivores or carnivores.
However, although these hunters were stronger among the survivors and more familiar with the complex environment of the mountains, they did not dare to leave the cave too far, and only dared to hunt within a few kilometers.
The probability of encountering carnivorous mutants in farther places increased greatly, and they would die if they were not careful. Unless they had to, the hunters would not go too far to hunt.
Only powerful mutants would really go far away from the caves and hunt in more distant areas. This would be risky, but would also yield more rewards. After all, animals were scarce in places with more human smells.
The hunters did not enjoy the delicious wild vegetables they dug hard, or the rabbits and pheasants they occasionally caught, but neatly picked them up and put them in their backpacks. They looked up at the sky near the cave, waiting for the arrival of the 100-meter-tall host and took the food they got in the wild to the underground base to sell.
In the underground base, each person has only one chance to go to the mountain base every day, so the survivors of the underground base cherish it very much and need to pay attention to the arrival of the host at all times to avoid missing their flights.
Because if you miss the flight, you will not only be punished by the underground base, but even the wild vegetables and animals you have worked hard to obtain cannot be taken to the mountain base to exchange for more practical food and rice, so you can only eat them yourself, which is a huge waste for the half-hungry survivors.
You have to know that meat is precious in the end times. If the rabbits and pheasants they hunted with great difficulty are sent to the hotels and restaurants in the Lishan Base, they can at least exchange for several times the weight of rice. Even the more delicious wild vegetables can be exchanged for a lot of rice or sweet potatoes.
Although meat is good, it is too luxurious for the survivors. They can't enjoy it casually.
The underground base has no consumption capacity, so the survivors of the underground base regard the Lishan Base as a precious food export place and provide food for the hotels and restaurants in the Lishan Base.
The hotels and restaurants get money from the consumers of the Lishan Base, and finally use it to pay the survivors of the underground base, forming a consumption cycle of the underground base to the Lishan Base and the survivors to the hotels.
At noon, when the survivors of the underground base avoided the scorching sun and returned to the base to rest, a large group of hosts and flying dragons came over the underground base, which surprised the survivors. Usually there is no host flight at this time, why is there an exception today.
Many survivors, carrying backpacks and sacks filled with food, walked towards the place where the hosts landed.
Although they didn't know why there were hosts at this time, since there was a flight, they would not miss this opportunity. They wanted to exchange the food in their hands for rice as soon as possible and come back for a good meal.
However, without exception, these survivors were stopped by the soldiers of the underground base.
Then these hosts that landed began to carry out arms continuously. Suddenly, the survivors understood that this group of hosts was not here to transport survivors, but to trade arms! No wonder they appeared at this time.
After understanding the reason, without the soldiers driving them away, these survivors also left consciously and hid in the underground caves to avoid the hot weather.
"Haha, Brother Wang, how are you!" A burst of laughter came, and Jiang Zhengqing, with a rosy face, came out and greeted Wang Jin.
"It seems that Brother Jiang is in a good mood recently!" Wang Jin smiled and shook hands with Jiang Zhengqing, looking at Jiang Zhengqing's face, which was depressed a while ago, but now has a rosy face, and joked.
Wang Jin naturally knew clearly that Jiang Zhengqing's mood had improved recently, because it was all related to Wang Jin.
Whether it is the reopening of commercial trade between the two bases or the leasing of termites, Jiang Zhengqing has gained a lot of benefits. It is abnormal that he is in a bad mood.
"Brother Wang, you are joking. I am in a good mood thanks to your support. Otherwise, I would not be in this mood now." Jiang Zhengqing flattered him inconspicuously.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's inspect the weapons first. According to the 20% advance payment agreed at the beginning, there are a total of 700 rifles and 15 machine guns here."
Wang Jin pointed to the weapons that had been moved out of the host and signaled to Jiang Zhengqing.
Jiang Zhengqing was not polite and arranged several soldiers who were familiar with the munitions to check. After a while, they reported to Jiang Zhengqing: "Chief, all the munitions are intact and there are no defective products."
"Brother Wang is straightforward! I won't delay your use of termites. Please wait for a moment." After receiving the reply, Jiang Zhengqing nodded with satisfaction and ordered Jiang Shishi: "Shishi, transfer the termites and accompany Brother Wang to the Lingnan Plain to clean up the herbivorous insects."
Hearing Jiang Zhengqing's words, Jiang Shishi closed her eyes and her lips kept opening and closing, but no sound came out.
Wang Jin, who was standing aside, had a thought in his mind. He could feel a mental power fluctuation from Jiang Shishi. According to a certain frequency, it was faintly connected to a stronger mental power underground. This mental power should be the Queen Termite, or Xiaobai in Jiang Shishi's mouth.
"Jiang Shishi is already a level 3 mutant." Feeling the mental power emitted by Jiang Shishi, Wang Jin asked Jiang Zhengqing.
When the strength of ordinary people increases, their mental power will also increase. The mental power emitted by Jiang Shishi now is the level of an ordinary level 3 mutant.
"Brother Wang has good eyesight." Jiang Zhengqing looked over in surprise. Wang Jin could not only feel the mental power, but also distinguish the mental power and know the strength of others. At this moment, Wang Jin's strength deepened in Jiang Zhengqing's heart.
"Just a guess."
Wang Jin smiled. At this time, Jiang Shishi also mobilized two million termites through the Queen Termite.
A large white torrent rushed out of the cave in the underground base, which was composed of countless finger-sized termites.
Although tiny termites can be crushed to death by a single step, two million termites together can eat up even a regular army. This is the power of the group, which is similar to the insect swarm, except that the insect swarm is stronger.
The surging termites spread out nearly a hundred meters, and Wang Jin used several hosts to load the two million termites.
Afterwards, Wang Jin did not delay, because he was anxious to plant in Lingnan Plain, he quickly said goodbye to Jiang Zhengqing and headed to Lingnan Base with a full load of termites.
