Super Gene Armor

Chapter 6 Arming Peasants
This era needs mercenaries, and the missions of mercenaries have also developed from a single combat mission to a diversified one, facing all walks of life.

The owners of high-end restaurants need mercenaries to go deep into the wild mountains and mountains that ordinary people dare not go deep into, looking for those precious ingredients, and the rich need to hire bodyguards.

Of course, for most low-level mercenaries, what they are engaged in is a promising profession in this era, farmers.

With the strong demand for various food materials in the city, farmers are no longer some humble synonymous names. Farmers who farm in the city need to study in professional colleges for several years to fully grasp the growth habits of crops and develop every piece of food to the greatest extent. The cropping potential of the farmland is up to the task.

In addition to wages, the most enviable thing for farmers is the rationing of agricultural products. Although the white-collar workers in those companies are serious, they have no oil in their stomachs like everyone else. Can't see any vegetables.

And the better the farmers take care of the farmland, the more agricultural products they can distribute. Although it will not be too big for fish and meat, at least rice farmers will eat white rice once a week, and those engaged in breeding will cook a bowl of broth for children to supplement. Replenishing the body is still a very common thing.

As for the farmers that Ye Chuan was looking for in the Mercenary Alliance, they were not ordinary farmers, but a group of militants living in the wild.

The mercenary system is a major feature of this era. After all, the city government does not have the money to support so many troops, and civilian armed tasks still require the strength of the people themselves.

A large number of mercenaries is not without benefits for the city. Once a war breaks out, a large number of civilian armed forces can be temporarily hired to go to the battlefield to make up for the disadvantage of insufficient military resources.

It is not difficult to become a mercenary. As long as you have some genetic power and a set of capsule armor, you can register with the alliance regardless of whether you have received professional training.

As the number of mercenaries increases, they receive fewer and fewer tasks. Those mercenaries who are relatively low-level and can't survive will starve to death if they have no income. Come on, just go outside the city. Farm it!
After leaving the city, there is plenty of land outside that can be cultivated. As long as you are not afraid of fatigue or death, you can make a living as an armed farmer.

As a result, a large number of low-level mercenaries set up armed farms outside the city. Everyone wore armor to cultivate the land. After finishing the farm work, they would patrol nearby. Once the mutant beasts attacked the farm, they would take up weapons and fight.

Although life in the wild is difficult, it is better than starving to death in the city.

Assuming luck is good, the farm successfully harvests several seasons of grain and sells it in the city, and the whole family can buy a small house and live a two-year life full of food and clothing.

It’s also thanks to these armed peasants who are desperately opening up farms outside the city. Although everyone has lived a very difficult life these years, at least they have survived. It is rarely heard of nowadays.

What Ye Chuan is looking for is these armed farmers. Among them, the courageous ones are no longer satisfied with the little income from farming, and have changed their jobs to armed hunters. The price of buying things from them is cheaper than buying directly from the mall some.

All the expensive high-level items were traded in the trading hall. Ye Chuan had no money to enter the hall, so he could only try his luck outside the door with the hands of the scattered armed peasants.

Today, there are quite a lot of armed peasants coming into the city from the outside to trade. Ye Chuan casually looked around and found that there are quite a few good things. Needless to say, food, the more attractive ones are some wild game.

A plump hare weighing five catties was quickly bought by the owner of a high-end restaurant for 3000 yuan. After cooking, the value of the rabbit more than doubled.

After lighting a cigarette, Ye Chuan was about to take another look around. At this moment, the man selling rabbits suddenly said to Ye Chuan, "Little brother, borrow a cigarette."

Ye Chuan smiled, took out a phoenix card and handed it to the man, and handed the match to him, saying, "As long as you don't think it's too harsh."

Ye Chuan's cigarette is indeed not a good one. It is a thin one without even a filter. No matter how you look at it, the shredded tobacco inside looks like withered yellow leaves in autumn. It has a pungent and spicy smell after being lit.

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "In the past, every time I caught some valuable prey, I would buy myself a few boxes of good cigarettes as a reward, but now I am reluctant, my wife and children are a big family. To feed yourself, the Phoenix brand is pretty good, only four yuan a box, and the slightly better ones cost more than ten yuan, and you can buy a lot of black potatoes."

Ye Chuan half-jokingly said: "It's not like my wife and children are born today, besides, you can sell a rabbit for 3000 yuan, not to mention three yuan a catty of black potatoes, 14 yuan a catty of white flour, 15 yuan A catty of rice is enough to feed your family for half a year."

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes shook his head, "Wife and children are really only recently, because I picked them up. Originally, I was full and the whole family was not hungry. What I did was this life-threatening business. , nothing to worry about."

"It's a pity that I met a woman in the woods later. She was so hungry in the city that she dragged her two children to the wild to find food. Her life was still pretty good, but she was not torn apart by the mutant beast."

"At first, I thought she was very pitiful. I threw two black potatoes to her. The woman didn't eat them and gave them to her own children. Those two children were also miserable. They were sallow and emaciated. After eating the potatoes, they pulled my clothes with tears in their eyes. , and didn’t speak, and then the woman knelt down at me.”

"I don't want to see this. How can anyone marry a wife these days? Outside of this area, there are many women for one yuan a trip. These women are not pretty either. They also carry two oil bottles. At first glance, they look like trouble."

"I gritted my teeth and left, but the three of them followed me all the way back to the village. There was no acquaintance to lead outsiders to the village, so the girls squatted outside the fence with their children in their arms and waited. The people in the village let them go. , They didn't leave, they just cried."

"At night, I tossed and turned in my hut and couldn't fall asleep, thinking about how the woman outside still brought two children, how can I live in this wilderness?"

"I really couldn't bear it in my heart, so I opened the door and took the three girls into the village. I was so hard-hearted for so long, I didn't expect that in the end, I, Xin Lao Wu, was still confused and became a family by accident. .”

Ye Chuan sighed softly. Life is difficult now, and the three of them are lucky to meet a kind-hearted man like Xin Laowu. Even if they are robbed and killed in the wilderness, it is very common. Almost half of the people who went outside the city without enough to eat would never return.

"Fifth brother, it's getting late, why don't you hurry back after selling the money? The women and children in the provincial family are worried about it." A cigarette made Ye Chuan and Xin Laowu get acquainted, and Ye Chuan must call him fifth brother. Actually, according to his age, Ye Chuan should call him Fifth Uncle.

Xin Laowu smiled mysteriously, took out a storage capsule from his arms and said: "There is a good thing in here, after I sell it, I can collect enough money to buy a new set of genetic armor before leaving, the old one is no longer usable , being torn apart by the mutated beast is really terrible."
