Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 11 Recruitment
"And I heard that the managers over there have exhausted their army, and they may recruit soldiers on a large scale recently!"

"Soldier? Are you crazy? I'm not going to fight with them... Besides, are those rebels so fierce? They wiped out all the troops in Vault 188?"

The two walked away while chatting, and Qi Lin asked the stall owner with great interest: "Boss, what are those two talking about? What happened to shelter 188?"

The boss who sells gun parts and Qi Lin are also old acquaintances. Seeing him asking this way, he pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a big dirty gold tooth, and said with a wry smile: "Isn't it an uprising? The rebels first blew up supplies The warehouse, and then robbed the rich area, and now they are entrenched in the bunker outside the rich area, I heard that more than 2000 people died there, and there is no time to deal with the corpses, the smell is so bad."

"Material warehouse? Then those rebels themselves have nothing to eat?" Qi Lin wondered.

"How come, you don't know, the supplies in the rich area are no less than those in the warehouse, those in the warehouse are distributed to the people below, those upper-class people, who don't have their own small coffers, are rich in it Let's go!"

"Even if it's supplies, can the rebels last that long? What about suppressing the troops?"

In the past, uprisings were not without examples of attacking rich areas, but at most it would not last longer than half a day, and those rebels would be bloodbathed by the regular army, which was completely suppressed in numbers and equipment, and there was no such thing as a situation of defending against danger.

"Shh... this is gossip, others don't know..." The boss narrowed his eyes and showed a meaningful smile.

"How much is this part?" Qi Lin understood the smile, picked up a gun barrel with some minor flaws, but had little effect on shooting accuracy, and asked.

"35 points." The boss replied.

In Qi Lin's view, this gun barrel is only 30 points at most. It seems that the extra 5 points are the so-called "information fee".

After the transaction was completed, the boss coughed and lowered his voice: "There are not many people who know about this, and the news is tightly blocked... It is said that the leader of the uprising is the leader of the troops in Vault 188, and most of the rebels They are all the original regular army!"

"The leader rebelled??"

The army has always been a special existence in the underground world of the refuge. Except for a very few special forces that explore the ground, the job of most of the army is to maintain law and order and suppress rebels.

For a regular army soldier, not only food, clothing and housing are fully covered by the official, that is, the management of the shelter, but also have an additional free quota of 25 resource points every day.

Generally, in a medium-sized shelter, the number of troops is about 500 to [-]. As the leaders of these people, not only are the material benefits better, but also, in terms of power and social status, these leaders will never lose. For the big shots in the rich area.

Such a well-off upper-class figure... actually led the uprising?

Qi Lin felt that his brain was a little bit overwhelmed.

This is like a local rich man leading a group of people to smash, loot and burn around his manor, shouting "beat the local tyrants, divide the land" is nonsense... purely harming oneself and detrimental to others.

"Yeah, by the way, don't tell others that I told you, I don't want to be approached by the army." The boss gave Qi Lin a "you understand" look, and then resumed the half-recumbent On the reclining chair, sucking on the butt of a cigarette, the look of eating and dying.

……

He went to other stalls to pick up some parts, and Qi Lin barely made up an imitation AK that can use various 7.62mm caliber bullets currently circulating in the slums. However, he used a piece of the wooden butt and handguard. Type steel pipe and a buttstock apparently broken off from the M16.

Huge power, low long-distance accuracy, strong leather, no need for frequent maintenance, standard slum area excellent weapon style, this assault rifle brought Qi Lin a full 145 resource points of net profit.

In addition to guns, the black market also sells all kinds of strange things, but most of them are contraband prohibited by the shelter laws... You can come to the black market to do legitimate business, but you are in the "middle" on the bright side. District Material Market", the entrance fee charged is much lower than that of the black market, and no one would be out of their minds and bring a bunch of expired canned sardines to the black market to sell them.

Of course, if some weird products are not ruled out, there will be some weird buyers... Just last week, an original ** that was said to be a certain first-line actress before the end of the world was sold at a black market auction for 4000 resources high price point...

Leaving the underground black market, Qi Lin went to the "Materials Trading Market" in the middle area, intending to buy some canned food to improve his food, but before he got close, he saw a huge notice posted at the gate of the trading market. A soldier in a gray military uniform and a black nylon tactical vest stood in front of the notice holding a gun.

"Announcement on recruiting soldiers from Vault 187?"

After taking a closer look, Qi Lin realized that this was the recruiting statement that those passers-by talked about just now, but he didn't expect it to be posted now.

According to the announcement, in order to suppress the rebellion in the No. 188 shelter next door, 100 soldiers need to be recruited in this shelter.

It is required to be male or female, aged 16 to 45 years old, in good health, and loyal to the shelter. After enlisting in the army, a one-week emergency special training will be arranged.

Moreover, in addition to the original soldier benefits, all those who can pass the recruitment this time will be rewarded with 100 resource points at one time, and there is no need to implement the shelter's No. 153 decree.

This No. 153 decree is to force him to enter the game "Wasteland Survival Rules", and keep active for at least ten hours a day.

……

This recruitment order may not seem to be a problem to ordinary people, but as a veteran Qi Lin who has been on the battlefield for several years, he can see the problem at first sight——

This is not recruiting soldiers, but cannon fodder!
A week of emergency special training is at most just for an ordinary person who has never touched a firearm to learn how to shoot and how to reload. As for various tactical actions and physical training, it is estimated that all of them will be ignored. Meine may not be able to hit people when he shoots at people.

The soldiers recruited in this way are worse than those black uncles who only hold AKs to sweep around in the chaotic areas of Africa before the end of the world. At least the black uncles still have fanatical beliefs and the spirit of not taking their own lives seriously...

Such cannon fodder soldiers, the commander will never count on their combat effectiveness. What they have to do is to be the first to rush up, attract firepower for the elite troops behind, and consume the enemy's ammunition and physical strength.

As for the one-time extra subsidy, anyway, if people die, their assets will be automatically written off. These [-] points are used as resource points for subsidy distribution. It is estimated that at least [-]% to [-]% will be recovered by the mastermind after the rebellion is over. look.
