Doom Smuggler

"High... usury?"

The woman repeated in a daze.

"That's right! You haven't been here for long, have you? If you've lived in the shanty town for a while, you'll know where the usury is! Go back and borrow it! Just ask anyone and you'll find out! In short, if you don't take If you produce enough items, even if you pass the test, you don’t even want to become a full-fledged member of the base! Understand!”

The person in charge waved away impatiently.

The woman bit her lip, but seeing that the person in charge was very determined, she had no choice but to withdraw from the test crowd.

The other people around showed expressions of gloating.

There are only a few people in this world who are willing to see others live a better life.

Chen Yang squinted his eyes, but still did not show up, but walked behind the woman.

Chapter 553.553 The Corrupting Base

Compared with the bullying behavior seen in the outer city before, what is happening at this test point at this time has completely touched Chen Yang's bottom line.

The absorption of survivors at the test point is the main source of official members of the Dawn Base at present!

Taking action on this is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the base!

To be honest, Chen Yang really did not expect that from the establishment of the Shuguang Base to the present, the time cannot be said to be so long. As a result, some official members at the bottom have been corrupted to such a degree!

Just looking at the regular members in charge of the test, they all put on a posture of getting used to what happened in front of them, and they knew that the similar state had definitely lasted for quite a long time!

And certainly not just the independent actions of grassroots testers.

Without the acquiescence of some middle-level management of the base, this kind of thing would definitely not have become as aboveboard as it is now.

Of course, Chen Yang still trusts Li Lu and others [-]%.

Chen Yang also believed that Li Lu and the others were bound to be ignorant of the things he saw in front of him.

With the increasing number of people in the base, the entire Shuguang base is transforming into a very large force, and the things that need to be dealt with by Li Lu and others are becoming more and more complicated.

In this context, it is indeed extremely difficult to grasp all the conditions of the base in detail.

But today, playing a stealth tour on such a whim, let him see the dark side of the base hidden under the prosperity, and it also reminded him.

Brainwashing education is not a panacea!

In addition to brainwashing education, he may have to set up a special discipline inspection department!

These thoughts floated in his mind, but he kept on stepping, silently following the woman all the while.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time, so he wanted to see what the origin of the guy who dared to loan usury in the shanty town outside the base!

Since the person in charge of the test site would directly tell the woman to borrow usury, Chen Yang would be the first to say that this usury has nothing to do with the people in the base!

Maintain an invisible state, follow behind the woman, find out what the situation is, and then deal with all the people involved in this matter, without missing a single one!

The woman didn't know that she was being noticed by Chen Yang, and she was quite at a loss at this moment.

Because the Dawn Base seems to be... somewhat different from the rumored image?

Although in this wasteland, all kinds of dirty things are inevitable in any settlement, it seems that the Shuguang Base is not fundamentally different from other settlements, which is very normal, but the woman still feels very disappointed.

Her name is Shen Bing, and she trekked from a small settlement in the south.

The development momentum of the Shuguang base is getting faster and faster, which has led to the continuous expansion of the base's influence and radiation range.

Not long ago, Shen Bing heard news about the Shuguang base in the small settlement where he lived.

The person who provided the information was a survivor who had participated in the official member test of the Dawn Base.

It's just that the survivor didn't have any outstanding abilities, so he failed the test. If he wanted to stay in the shanty town, he couldn't see any hope, so he left the Shuguang base and kept looking for other settlements that could accommodate him.

Shen Bing heard the survivor bragging wantonly in the only bar in the settlement.

According to the survivor, the Shuguang Base was like the last Garden of Eden on this wasteland.

There is endless food to eat and water to drink.

Once you can successfully join the Shuguang base and become a full-fledged member of the base, you will no longer have to run around for food.

Even within the base, everyone is eligible to use clean water to wash their bodies!

I have to admit that just this made Shen Bing's heart flutter.

In order to get more and more accurate news, Shen Bing was cruel and gave half of the sweet potato he saved to the survivor, just to know more news about the Shuguang base.

Then without much hesitation, Shen Bing decided to come to Shuguang base to try his luck!

Because according to what the survivor said, the Shuguang Base's qualification screening for full-time members does not only consider the physical strength of the personnel, but also considers the professional skills that the applicants are good at!

For many occupational skills that are useless to other settlements, the Shuguang Base will treat them like treasures!

For example, some programmers who had a very high income before the catastrophe broke out, lost the capital they depended on after the catastrophe broke out.

The technology they are good at is worthless in this wasteland.

But these programmers received incomprehensible courtesy at the Shuguang Base!

Since even useless programmers can get preferential treatment, with her deep understanding of communication technology, she will definitely be able to win a place in the Shuguang base!

With this understanding, Shen Bing set off immediately, and after several days of trekking, he finally arrived at Shuguang Base!

The beginning was quite smooth, and she easily found the test point outside the Shuguang Base.

After queuing for several hours, at the test point, she proved her attainments in the field of communication technology and met the standard for becoming an official member of the Suguang Base.

But before she could get excited about it, reality slapped her hard!

It has clearly reached the standard of passing the test, but if you want to really enter the Shuguang Base, you have to prepare enough bribes in advance?

The survivor didn't mention this before...

If bribes are required to enter Dawn Base, what is the difference from other large settlements?

Even if the Suguang base said that it will pay salaries on a weekly basis, the food that can be used to pay the salaries is at most enough to satisfy the hunger, right?

How can this save enough food for bribes?

Shen Bing was at a loss.

But it's all here, and she is really unwilling to let her go back at this time.

So when he walked to the shanty town not far away, Shen Bing began to inquire about the loan sharks in the shanty town.

She planned to take a look first at what kind of interest requirements would be given by the loan sharks here.

If it is not too exaggerated, it is barely acceptable.

After all, it was a day when he would no longer have to go hungry, and a great opportunity was in front of him. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Shen Bing really didn't want to give up so easily.

Sure enough, as the person in charge of the test said, loan sharks in shanty towns are easy to find.

In fact, just as Shen Bing started to inquire, the loan sharks had already taken the initiative to find them.

Chen Yang, who had been following behind Shen Bing, frowned completely.

Because this loan shark is also an official member of the base, and he is also one of the group of old people who joined the base very early!

Chapter 554.554 The Corrupting Base

When the number of members in the Shuguang base was not so large, Chen Yang once used the member files of the administrative department to record all the people in the base.

The purpose is that when it is necessary to buy people's hearts in the future, through this simplest method, these people in the base can have the emotion of dying for their confidantes.

Therefore, those who joined the base earlier were basically all in Chen Yang's mind.

In the following period of time, the number of personnel in the base continued to increase and the scale continued to expand, and the number of times Chen Yang traveled to and from the base was relatively reduced, so he hadn't taken the time to memorize the information of the newcomers one by one.

But even so, Chen Yang recognized the loan shark in front of him on his own initiative.

If I remember correctly, this person should also belong to the administration department in the base.

After all, only the people in the administration department have the most opportunities to contact the survivors outside the base.

Therefore, it is quite normal for people from the administration department to intervene in the matter involving the group of survivors outside the base.

However, Chen Yang still felt that these people were a little bold.

He originally thought that the loan sharks in the shantytowns were at most connected with the people in the base.

People in the base will most likely find an agent in the shanty town to do these things.

But now it seems that the reckless behavior of some people in the base has reached the level of insanity.

Or... They didn't think it was a big deal at all?

"Beauty, I heard that you want a loan? Hey, I'm a professional in this area. We can discuss it carefully to see how much you need to borrow. And don't worry, although it's a usury loan, I'm very disciplined and will never I don’t expect you to lie on your body and suck blood if you don’t pay back the loan, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

While the loan shark was talking, he motioned for Shen Bing to go into the shed next to him to discuss in detail.

Shen Bing hesitated, put his hand into his trouser pocket, and followed the loan shark into the shed.

In his trouser pocket was a fairly sharp dagger.

The ability to protect oneself is of course limited, but at least it can be regarded as better than nothing.

"Don't be nervous, I'm in serious business. Although it's a loan shark, it's for the sake of people's needs. And I, a loan shark, don't lend money easily. At least if these survivors in the shanty town want loans, they must never Want to take anything from me."

After entering the hut, the loan shark completely relaxed, and then said: "After all, lending also requires risk control. Only someone like you who has passed the skill test and is only short of a bribe can become a base official." Members, I will only lend money.

Because a full member of the base means that there is enough ability to repay the loan.It is very important that the loans I lend out are not lost in vain.As for the interest on the loan, I don't ask for it indiscriminately. According to the practice since ancient times, out of nine out of thirteen returns.

It means that if you borrow food from me equivalent to one month's income, I will give you 90.00% of the share, and these shares are almost enough for you to bribe.After one month, you have to pay me back 130%, understand? "

The old god of the loan shark said.

Shen Bing was stunned, and after silently calculating for a while, he frowned and said, "Since it's food equivalent to a month's income, after a month, even if I don't eat anything, I can only give you back 30.00% at most, and the rest What about [-]%?"

"Hey, the remaining [-] can be repaid at regular interest, and I'll pay it back next month. Don't worry, I'm a conscientious lender and I won't force you to a dead end. Basically, according to my interest rate, as long as you eat some It’s hard, two months, three months at the latest, the loan will definitely be paid off!”

The loan shark said with a smile.

Seeing that Shen Bing was still hesitating, the loan shark couldn't help but continued impatiently: "I don't think there is anything to consider about this matter, think about it, as long as you can join the Shuguang base, then all the follow-up life will be Guaranteed. What's the point of suffering for two or three months?

The person in charge of the test has not a small appetite. If you don't borrow money from me and plan to use other methods to collect enough bribes in the shanty town, it is absolutely whimsical.The only place where there is enough food nearby is the Shuguang Base.

Of course, you can also choose to give up the opportunity to join the Shuguang base.But I have to remind you that there are tens of thousands of survivors living in this shanty town outside the base. Their greatest wish is to be able to enter the Shuguang Base, so that they will no longer have to worry about getting enough to eat!

You have such an opportunity now, if you really give up at will, it won't take long before you will regret it.Of course, the choice is yours, and I will not interfere.But..."

The loan shark suddenly paused, rubbed his chin, stared at Shen Bing for a while, and then suddenly smiled and said: "However, if you think the interest rate is too high, we may be able to use other methods to reduce it. Take a look at the interest, such as... the part that uses your body to pay the interest.

Of course, this also depends on your personal wishes.There are a lot of women in the shantytowns. Basically, I take out half a steamed bun, and I can pick a woman I still like. So in this kind of thing, I always like you, I will not resort to coercion. , that would be too boring. "

Shen Bing couldn't help but took a deep breath, took a step back, and gritted his teeth: "I choose a loan! If Shuguang Base really distributes food on a weekly basis as you said, I will definitely pay it back in two months at the latest On loan!"

"Tsk, a wise choice, although I feel a little regretful. But it doesn't matter, after you enter the base, you will definitely become more beautiful. After all, there is even clean water in the base to wash your body. If you change If you want to pay part of the interest through your body, you can also come to me."

The loan shark shrugged, and while speaking, he walked out of the shed, and at the same time continued: "Come with me, I will take you to get food stamps, this is something that Shuguang base is distributing recently, with food stamps You can get the corresponding food at the base at any time.

I heard that it seems to be preparing for the subsequent issuance of currency, but it is not clear whether this is the case.After all, currency or something is something that big shots consider.It has nothing to do with us small characters who are begging for food, right? "

"Food stamps?!"

Shen Bing immediately became vigilant.

"Don't worry, I will accompany you to pay the bribe. The loan between us will only be effective if the food stamps are proved valid, how about it?"

The loan shark knew exactly what Shen Bing was wary of, so he spoke immediately.

"it is good……"

Shen Bing nodded in agreement.

Chapter 555.555 I'm going to kill someone

Food stamps are indeed a foreshadowing before the issuance of currency. Li Lu mentioned this to Chen Yang.

Let the people at Shuguang Base get used to the use of food stamps first, just like the food stamps in the world where Chen Yang lives.
