Chapter 558: Disband? Part One (2/2)
“Be patient, right now we only have this as a base.” Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
“What about the grand plans you were talking about?” Hawking scorned him. “And then? You are letting me live in this kind of sh-thole that’s even worse than just pitching a tent? Let me tell you, you better get me at least a decent house. I haven’t been able to enjoy much in my life before, I just recovered, and you are making me stay in the desert for the rest of my life? Then I rather go back and stay in my wheelchair.”
Then, after looking at the engineers, he continued on with Xu Cheng, “And these guys won’t get used to staying here either. You better get us somewhere better.”
Xu Cheng was also having a headache. Seeing Li Wei walking over to welcome him, he gave him a hug and then began scolding him, “This is the territory you guys talked about? How are we even going to sleep here? Why didn’t you find someone to renovate this place a bit?”
At this time, the experienced mercenary Chris said, “That’s the safest. The moment we renovate this place, we would be visited by refugees and bandits. There would even be other mercenaries that come to kill and loot. That would be the most dangerous situation.
“Even if this is the case, the basic living conditions still need to be improved.” Looking at the surrounding ruins, Xu Cheng subconsciously asked Luo Yi, “Who’s the leader of the nearest camp around us that has a decent city?”
Luo Yi said, “It’s the Falcon mercenary clan, ranked 35 on the world ladder with about 300 members. Their territory has a city that could accommodate about 200 people.”
Xu Cheng glanced at Li Wei and Luo Yi. “They have 300 people and you guys are already scared?”
Li Wei said, “They are in an alliance with the Grizzly Mercenary Corp, and behind Grizzly is the R Nation. In fact, Falcon is just responsible for finding crude oil for Grizzly. If it weren’t for Grizzly, we would have been thinking about doing something.”
“Scouting for crude oil?” Xu Cheng’s eyes lit up. “Then that means, they have a lot of drilling equipment?”
Xu Cheng was quite delighted. They were just in need of drilling equipment and couldn’t import them from outside, but now that problem has been resolved. Looking around at the members around him, he said, “Who dares to go with me?”
The others all looked at each other in silence. Luo Yi and Li Wei obviously came forward without a word to support Xu Cheng.(read on noodletowntranslated dot com to support the actual translators)
Chris and the others thought about it, and some also came forward.(read on noodletowntranslated dot com to support the actual translators)
The other guys thought these guys had gone crazy. “That’s the Grizzly’s minion! What’s the difference between going up against them and committing suicide? We are indeed outlaws that aren’t afraid of death, but we don’t want to die that early.”
