When Bona walked into the noisy bar, Chen Xing had already ordered a meal for her, including steak, toast, cream soup, fruit salad and red wine.

"Please sit down." Chen Xing invited. But there was still a trace of uneasiness in Bona's eyes.

"I just want to treat you to a meal, nothing else." Chen Xing said with a slight smile.

Bona hesitated for a few seconds, then gently pulled out the chair and sat down. She held her hands, looking a little nervous.

"Eat." Chen Xing said, then raised his wrist and entered a series of instructions on the black watch.

"Didi..."

With a soft sound, one hundred gold coins were transferred into Bona's account. The latter stared at the former with wide eyes, obviously not understanding what he meant.

"This money is considered as compensation for you." Chen Xing said.

"Compensation?" Poona asked doubtfully.

"If you didn't complete the task, you should be paid a certain amount of liquidated damages, right?" Chen Xing asked.

Bo Na was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but only ten percent."

The commission fee is five hundred gold coins, and ten percent is fifty gold coins.

"The rest will be considered as a reward for you." Chen Xing said pointedly.

How could Bo Na not understand? Two red clouds rose up, her cheeks were as hot as fire, and she finally nodded and said in a weak mosquito voice, "Thank you."

After eating, Chen Xing let Bo Na go back. Before leaving, he asked her to tell the caravan captain Charlie that he hoped they could stay in the town for one more day and wait for him to go back together.

Charlie quickly sent a message saying that it was no problem. Although a businessman's time is precious, and every minute and every second is a gold coin, successful businessmen are often better at investing. The friendship of a future guard-level powerhouse is obviously more valuable than the friendship of a future guard-level powerhouse.

One day's time was more valuable, so he stayed.

The next day, Chen Xing's recruitment information was on the list. Since the recruitment this time was for "reserve defense members" who did not have the official establishment, the quality of the applicants was obviously much lower. None of those with a single attribute of more than ten

several.

However, compared with refugees, citizens with black watches are still much more reliable. In terms of moral bottom line, there is a fundamental difference between the two. People with black watches are still afraid that their credibility level will be reduced.

The higher the social credit, the greater the privileges, the greater the proportion of government subsidies, and the higher the employment price. On the contrary, the lower the social credit, the less welcome one is, and the harder it is to make money.

Under such a social mechanism, the path of the former will become wider and wider, entering a virtuous circle, while the path of the latter will become narrower and narrower, entering a vicious circle.

Chen Xing spent most of the day selecting five applicants, four men and one woman. Then he bought each of them two sets of tarpaulin military uniforms, a military dagger, a Black Star pistol and a marching backpack.

When it was just dawn, he took people to the grain exchange in Longshi Town, got on the truck, and returned to Orchid Town.

On the third day after leaving Longshi Town, the convoy suddenly encountered a heavy rain.

The raindrops the size of soybeans were mixed with small hailstones, which made the windshield on the front of the car crackle. Fortunately, Charlie didn't save money and used tempered glass. If it were ordinary, it would have been smashed through.

.

The wasteland was muddy, with water and red mud everywhere, and the world was a vast expanse. The wheels slipped in the mud, and the convoy could no longer move forward, so it had to leave the main road and camp in a circle.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

It was raining so hard that there was nothing to cover it. Everyone was wet, stepping on the mud and water, and gathered around the kerosene stove to keep warm.

The rain in the Western Wilderness is very terrible. It either doesn't rain at all and doesn't see a drop of rain for half a year, or it rains overwhelmingly and pours for more than ten days in a row, as if all the rain for the whole year is going to fall in one place.

The soaked clothes stuck to his body, which was very uncomfortable, and the wind was freezing, making it worse. Charlie asked the accountant to come over and ask Chen Xing to take shelter in the big tent, which was considered a special treatment as a distinguished guest. But Chen Xing refused after hesitating.

He is leading his team members now and has to set an example so that he can convince the public in the future. This is what he learned from Tie Nuo when he was in the Lightning Regiment in his previous life.

Take the lead and share the joys and sorrows.

This is the basic quality of a team leader. Anyone who cannot do it will be eliminated soon. Unless they are the children of rich families, aristocratic young masters, and royal ladies who are born with silver spoons in their mouths. They wander around and spend many times more than they earn.

Qian's "Spring Tour".

Chen Xing had met Chen Xing several times in his last life. Here there was a lot of gunfire and parting and death, and there was actually holding a small flower umbrella and flirting while drinking coffee. Although there was also a lot of gunfire, the meanings of each other were completely different. It was really special to see in the eyes.

Unspeakable heartache.

If we just talk about the charisma of a leader, even in his three lifetimes, he has never seen anyone better than Tie Nuo. He is really the kind of person who can raise his arms and get thousands of responses. It is a pity that Tie Nuo comes from a humble background and, like him, is poor.

It has to jingle, and every gold coin has to be exchanged for life.

But the rules of society are like this. Someone in front must have shed blood, and only those behind can enjoy the results. Therefore, Chen Xing felt unbalanced in his heart, and he felt relieved only for a short while.

He doesn't have a rich father, nor does he have an amazing talent, nor does he have a prominent family, so he has to go step by step.

"Boss, how long will it keep raining?" asked a reserve team member.

"As fast as three days, as slowly as half a month." Chen Xing said.

"Ah..." The team member's expression became extremely painful. The first day was a bit overwhelming, and there are so many days to come. I really don't know how to survive.

"Xiao Qiu, we are not here to enjoy ourselves." Another team member taught him a lesson. These two people came together and are said to be cousins.

"That's right." The female team member agreed. She was young and had freckles on her face.

"Keep warm and change your socks when the rain subsides, otherwise athlete's foot will kill you," Chen Xing said.

"Yes." The team members responded in unison.

At one o'clock in the morning, the rain finally subsided. Everyone hurriedly cleaned up the water, and then some people rested and some kept vigil.

Chen Xing was the captain, so he naturally gave priority to rest. After fixing the tarpaulin tent on the side of the truck and spreading a blanket, he folded his arms and closed his eyes to sleep. Although he was wet, cold and uncomfortable, he still forced himself to hurry up as soon as possible.

Fall asleep. Only if you have enough rest can you deal with dangers that may occur at any time.

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Xing was suddenly awakened by a commotion.

"Truck, there's something on the truck!" "Oh my god, what is that..." "Be careful, don't go over there!" "Gun, go get the gun!"

Outside the tent, there was a lot of noise, including the sound of people, the sound of rain, and the sound of footsteps.

"Quack quack quack!"

Suddenly, there were several more animal calls. It was so loud that it instantly drowned out all the sounds and made people's eardrums hurt.

Chen Xing was startled, woke up completely, and rushed out of the tent while crawling on the ground.

Turning around, I saw a huge creature lying on the truck opposite, its gills flaring. It turned out to be a giant toad.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the truck's cab door was kicked open, and a driver rolled out in a panic, running and calling for help.

"Wow wow wow, help!"

But I saw the giant toad tilted its head, blinked its wheel-like eyes, opened its mouth wide, and with a "whoosh" sound, a scarlet tongue shot out like lightning.

The driver's cry suddenly stopped, his body rose into the air, and was sucked into the toad's mouth.

"Quack..."

"Gudong..."

The toad barked twice, raised its head, and actually swallowed the driver into its stomach. Everyone who saw this scene was frightened and fell down on the ground for fear of being discovered by it.
