Chapter 117: The double act of the captives
【Mission name: Raid on Diesel Company.】
[Task Introduction: You and Diesel Company have had a long-standing feud, and the conflict between the two sides cannot be resolved. In the battle yesterday, you successfully wiped out the main force of Diesel Company and severely damaged the armed forces of Diesel Company. Now, the other side is still in panic and unable to organize an effective defense. In your opinion, this may be a good opportunity for a surprise attack. Moreover, you have an insider, and if you use them properly, you will get amazing results.]
[Mission requirements: Break into the rammed earth walls of the Diesel Company and cause certain casualties to the armed forces of the force.]
[Mission reward: 10000 dinars. ]
A dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Raid... Diesel Company?" Shen Mu glanced at the above content and the mission requirements, his face slightly strange: "In order to break into the rammed earth wall of Diesel Company, we need to cause certain casualties to their armed forces?"
Not only does it require a raid inside the city walls, but it also means that some of the Diesel Company’s armed forces need to be killed?
This was something Shen Mu had not expected.
"If we make good use of these insiders, will we get miraculous results?" Shen Mu finally set his sights on the end of the mission brief.
I just haven't figured out how to properly utilize these insiders to achieve miraculous results?
If these insiders open the city gates for themselves.
Then they will definitely be discovered by the diesel company employees guarding the city, and they will immediately order the pig-headed people from the spiritual world who are following them to come and kill all the spies, thus stopping the loss in time.
This means that these insiders are just disposable props.
Besides, it is still unclear whether these traitors are qualified to open the city gates and let their troops rush in under the guard of so many pig-headed people!
After all, Shen Mu knew clearly that these guys who had chosen to surrender had been annihilated on the battlefield, and none of their followers from the spiritual world were left. Now only they, the humans from the Blue Star, were left alone, and they were forced to flee alone after being beaten.
Without followers from the spiritual world, how could these humans from Blue Star open the city gates on their own?
"This is totally like a joke." Shen Mu frowned subconsciously.
Normally, this Mount and Blade system is quite sensible.
Why does Shen Mu now feel that because he won this defensive battle, the temporary tasks issued are not very practical?
"Sir?" At this moment, Fatis opened his mouth slowly and reminded gently.
"Hmm?" Shen Mu came back to his senses from his thoughts.
"They have all finished eating and hope to talk to you." Fatis pointed towards the Blue Star humans imprisoned in cages.
"Conversation? Conversation about what?" Shen Mu frowned. He was still thinking about the temporary task.
However, looking at the leftovers of the Blue Star humans in front of them, who had eaten a mixture of oatmeal porridge and vegetable soup, they finally replenished their food and water and became somewhat energetic.
Shen Mu still took half a step forward and said calmly: "I have to say that your choice is very wise."
Shen Mu meant that they chose to surrender.
Shen Mu was very happy as he received a reward of 16000 dinars.
As he said this, he instructed Fatis next to him: "Prepare a more proper meal for these friends of ours. If possible, I hope there will be some meat in it."
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away." Fatis nodded, took two steps to the side, and whispered a few simple words to the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs.
But during this process, the humans on Blue Star looked at Shen Mu with more gratitude in their eyes.
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, your honorable human lord."
Zhang Caidong also swallowed his saliva at this time, smiled bitterly, and used his tongue to push the loose teeth caused by the slap. At this time, his tone of voice was much more cautious: "But I don't know, how can we cooperate with you?"
"Yes, sir, we are all willing to cooperate, but I hope you can explain the specific details of the cooperation to us."
The other humans on Blue Star also nodded and looked at Shen Mu with puzzled eyes.
Since they have chosen to surrender, they have accepted their fate.
There is no way to refuse to accept your fate.
Just as Shen Mu said just now, Zhang Caidong among them was the culprit who personally killed Fu Jian, the deputy director of the transportation department of the diesel company.
Among them were several temporary workers' team leaders who, when Zhang Caidong killed Fu Jian, also wanted to submit their surrender and survive, so they also killed the remaining regular employees of the diesel company around them.
The problem was solved directly for the remaining regular employees of the diesel company.
He has the same blood debt as Zhang Caidong towards the diesel company.
Although five of them did not kill the regular employees of the Diesel Company at that time because they had received a lot of favors from the Diesel Company on a daily basis.
But precisely because of their good relationship with the Diesel Company, they knew the intensity of the Diesel Company's retaliation.
Even if they didn't actually kill the regular employees of Diesel.
But they still chose to surrender in hesitation.
That would also be tantamount to betrayal.
That will also lead to the craziest retaliation from the diesel company!
So, after Shen Mu analyzed the situation to them, these informal employees, whether they were contract workers or temporary workers, all collectively referred to as temporary workers and looked down upon in the diesel company, also made plans.
That is, during this period of time, you will be forced to follow Shen Mu's pirate ship and go all the way!
"How should we cooperate? Of course I need you to go to the orc camp of Diesel Company and become my insider." Shen Mu replied with a smile.
"Of course, we know that you are an insider, and we need to provide you with some intelligence regularly."
At this time, a Blue Star human slowly spoke, his tone tired, "All of these are fine, but you should also know, respected lord, we have nothing left after yesterday's bloody battle. Even if we go back, we need to start all over again. In a short period of time, there is no way we can bring you much benefit."
As these words were spoken, the prisoners in the other cages also pursed their lips and their faces turned pale.
Because what he said was true.
Even their followers in the spiritual world have been killed. How can they be valued even if they return?
"Wait...wait!" When Zhang Caidong heard this, his face suddenly changed.
Knowing the dark side of human nature, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the expressionless Shen Mu and the human warriors around him who were still staring at him with cold eyes. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his tone was a little sharp because of his haste:
"We are still valuable! Although all our followers in the spirit world have been killed, we can still go to the astral world to summon followers. After all, we have all completed a high level of soul resonance. As long as we are given some mark fragments, we can restore our previous strength at any time!"
As he spoke, Zhang Caidong quickly said:
"Besides, Diesel Company has experienced such a disastrous defeat. According to the general response of the forces, they will definitely select a lot of talents and add them to the regular employees of Diesel Company. As a regular employee who was replaced before, I know some people in the Human Resources Department. I can add them all and make them regular employees. Then I can obtain the materials issued by Diesel Company, quickly restore my strength, and grow quickly!"
Zhang Caidong spoke these words quickly and urgently.
It was as if if they said it too late, they would be afraid that Shen Mu would despise their low value and directly drag them out and kill them.
Although Shen Mu seems easy to talk to.
But Zhang Caidong really didn't dare to gamble.
That's why he is so anxious to demonstrate his own value and the value of these captives.
"That's not bad, indeed." Shen Mu frowned slightly and nodded gently.
This is correct.
As long as these secret agents who were secretly planted by him grow up and become important figures in various positions in the diesel company, they will be able to gain control of some power soon.
This part of the rights can be used by Shen Mu when he really launches an attack on the diesel company.
A deadly sword piercing the chest!
"Yes, we will find every opportunity to convince the diesel company people to trust us."
Zhang Caidong swallowed again. His voice became hoarse and cracked due to his rapid speech, which showed that he was really anxious for his own safety.
But when he finished speaking, there was no other sound in the entire prison.
Shen Mu was in deep thought.
In other words, from what Zhang Caidong said just now, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Find various opportunities to make the people from the diesel company believe in you?" Shen Mu always felt that he seemed to have noticed something special from this sentence.
So Shen Mu repeated this sentence again.
“Yes, find every opportunity!”
Zhang Caidong quickly explained again: "After all, it is difficult to make Diesel Company believe that we are loyal, so we must do something ourselves to make the people of Diesel Company believe that we did not surrender in this battle, but fought bravely to the end, and fled back when we had no choice, and then we are still loyal to Diesel Company!"
"..." Shen Mu was thoughtful at this time: "Come up with something to make the diesel company believe that you are loyal?!"
He found that there seemed to be something in his heart that was about to break out.
"We will figure out how to deal with these things ourselves." Zhang Caidong smiled awkwardly. "After all, we are the only ones left alive. As long as we speak with one voice, we may be able to survive. After all, I survived last time by using this little trick."
Seeing Shen Mu's thoughtful look, Zhang Caidong sighed and said, "As long as you don't tell anyone that we killed the regular employees of the Diesel Company, we will find a way to cover up the lie."
This is the weak spot of all 16 people including Zhang Caidong, and also the biggest secret now.
no way.
If this news leaks out, it will be a devastating blow to them!
At that time, no matter what they say or what contributions they have made in the past, the diesel company will definitely use the most cruel punishment to deal with them.
At the same time, it is also showing all the Blue Star humans who accept the protection of Diesel Company the consequences of daring to betray!
"If, I mean if." Shen Mu spoke at this time.
"What...what if?" Zhang Caidong and the captives looked at him curiously. They didn't understand what Shen Mu meant by this.
"If you get the news that I'm going to raid the diesel company in advance, and then rush back to report the news, and happen to discover my surprise attack, will it be helpful to you?"
Shen Mu finally spoke.
While saying this, Shen Mu's eyes also showed a resolute look.
"This..." Zhang Caidong was slightly stunned at this moment.
Including the other 15 Blue Star human captives imprisoned in cages, they were all slightly stunned at this time.
But soon everyone understood that this new human overlord wanted to play a double act with them since they had chosen to surrender and had fatal evidence in their hands!
"Of course! That's absolutely no problem!" A surprised smile immediately appeared on Zhang Caidong's face.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "If you can cooperate with us, then we can quickly gain the trust of those pig-headed people in the diesel company in the process. You may not know that those guys who resonate with the pig-headed people have slow brains. As long as the scam is set up smartly, we will definitely have no problem!"
"Yes, no problem." The other human captives from Blue Star also nodded repeatedly at this time.
They are all willing to cooperate.
"Very good, that's it." Shen Mu nodded with a smile on his face.
This is his plan!
At the same time, it was also the first time that he gave up the temporary mission of this system and made a choice.
The mission rewards are indeed tempting.
A total of 10000 dinars.
For Shen Mu, who has just obtained 16000 dinars, it is still a considerable sum of money, and it is a number that can solve his worries.
But there is no way.
You should make choices when it is time to make them.
If he could use his temporary mission to exchange for future gains, or if he could wipe out the diesel company in one fell swoop, then Shen Mu would certainly be willing to do so.
Abandon the system's temporary tasks.
Instead, he paved the way for the Blue Star human captives who already had fatal evidence in his hands!
'crunch—'
At this moment, the second iron door of the prison behind him was opened again.
The rusty iron door made a harsh creaking sound because the door hinges had not been lubricated for a long time. Five or six Lake Rat Gang vandals who came in with food boxes pushed it open with force.
"Sir, the food has been brought." The Lake Rat Gang saboteur spoke and placed the food boxes in the corner of the interrogation room.
Looking at these food boxes, each of which has five layers, you can tell that they are filled with food.
Instead of the leftovers of oatmeal and vegetable soup mixed together randomly as before.
"Sir?" Fatis looked at Shen Mu.
"Let's send all this food to our friends." Shen Mu nodded and said calmly.
"Understood." Fatis nodded to the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs behind him and said, "Divide them."
"Come on, let's continue eating!"
These Lake Rat Gang saboteurs had ferocious looks on their faces as they looked at those who had heard that there was food again. They stood up and stood at the gate of the cage, staring at themselves eagerly, and they snorted coldly as they opened the food boxes.
It was filled with toasted black bread, roasted onions, and a mixture of cabbage, pumpkin, and carrots cooked in water. Each person also had a piece of roasted, greasy dried meat, and a piece of sausage cooked in the vegetable soup.
It does look quite rich.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord!" Zhang Caidong and the human captives from Blue Star, even though they had just eaten a bowl of vegetable porridge, suddenly felt hungry and wanted to eat as soon as possible.
They were all starving indeed.
Although those black breads are very hard and difficult to bite even after being toasted.
But after taking a bite, they found that although these were dark breads made from a small amount of flour, various bean powders, and some ground wheat bran, they were indeed the kind of food that could fill them up.
There was no sand or stones in it, nor any bark or straw.
In the diesel company, these are good things allocated to regular employees.
That’s right, this is what the regular employees of the diesel company eat.
What's more, they also have vegetable soup made from boiled vegetables, a piece of dried meat about two fingers wide, and a thumb-sized sausage, all of which are greasy and salty, and taste absolutely wonderful!
For these temporary workers who only get to eat meat once in a long time, this is simply delicious!
The Pig-Headed People of the Orc Tribe live in a barren desert.
Although they occupied an oasis and had their own agriculture, they were able to grow some easy-to-grow wheat and various drought-resistant beans, which could be used to provide food for the pig-headed tribe.
But life was also tight.
It’s okay to eat until you are full.
But if you want to eat meat, that’s another matter.
At least after the Pig-Headed People Tribe was summoned by Xue Zhigang and landed on Blue Star, they established their own power on Blue Star and were able to begin to use the rules of the spiritual world to grow some mass-produced beans as their staple food.
Most of these pig-headed people still eat black bread mixed with a lot of impurities.
Otherwise, for this tribe, would the best punishment be to kill those who made mistakes and then turn them into blood food that only the elite leaders of the pig-headed people can enjoy?
Even the elite leader of the pig-headed people has a tight life, let alone other ordinary pig-headed people.
Or they could be ordinary humans from Blue Star, and those ordinary people who came here to become its vassals.
Life is miserable!
"These are actually foods that have the rules of the spirit world!" At this time, the Blue Star human captives who were eating big mouthfuls of black bread, soft stew, and stuffing their mouths with dried meat and sausages couldn't help but exclaimed: "These are not the junk food produced in the Blue Star world!"
"That's right! These are foods with the power of rules! After I ate them, even my soul and spirit were nourished!" Other humans on Blue Star also spoke in surprise.
Even Zhang Caidong, who was eating the boiled vegetables in big mouthfuls, couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
He tore off a piece of dried meat with great effort and ate the strips of meat mixed with fat in big mouthfuls.
The shock in his eyes became even more intense: "This... is actually true!"
They are all foods that truly have the power of rules.
Place it in the Orc tribe.
They are the ones who will be allocated some of these extremely precious foods as rewards only during important festivals!
Now, the new human overlord actually gave them a casual meal.
Still enough to fill you up, it’s a pretty good meal!
"I've said before, my friends, as long as you choose to submit to me and secretly become my accomplice in this battle with Diesel, then you will be rewarded."
Shen Mu knew it was time for him to continue playing, so he took half a step forward.
Holding the Holy Tree Knight Sword on his waist with one hand, he walked back and forth in the aisles of the cages, saying calmly: "These foods are one of the rewards I give you. If you want, I will give you similar food every three days, the amount of three meals."
"Three meals!" Zhang Caidong and these human captives from Blue Star all swallowed their saliva subconsciously.
This reward is already not low.
Normally, what they ate at the Diesel Company was just some ordinary black bread or bean flour paste.
Even though it's hard to swallow, it's an important supplement for them to maintain their soul-level resonance and prevent their bodies from degenerating.
If you want to satisfy your craving, you can only eat the native foods of Blue Star, which have no nutritional value and can only satisfy your craving.
In this way, they were able to barely survive.
Not having a good life.
But not bad either.
But now that I have eaten it, it can be considered a rich food with the power of rules.
Thinking back to my past, the thing I ate the most was bean powder porridge, the kind of junk food that made my throat sour, but I had no choice but to continue eating it.
These humans from Blue Star, including Zhang Caidong, were all silent, as if they had something on their mind.
I am more convinced about Shen Mu.
"Well, my friends, after we finish this meal, it will be time for you to perform."
Shen Mu was quite satisfied with this, and continued in a calm tone: "When the time comes, I will cooperate with you to complete a special performance. Then I will let you regain the trust of Diesel Company. It can be regarded as a small gift from me to you. You should have no problem with it, right?"
"No problem!" Zhang Caidong and those humans from Blue Star spoke up one after another, and their tones were much more affirmative in their answers.
"That's good." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
Then turned and left.
But before turning to leave, he reminded Fatis: "Cooperate with our friends. After they finish eating, remember to wash your hands and mouths, and then go around the battlefield at the west gate twice more, so as not to let any smell expose their true intentions."
"I understand." Fatis nodded seriously. He already understood Shen Mu's plan.
