"This number doesn't seem like much, but considering that the Corpse Hunters Guild was established in the middle of the Anti-Japanese War in Yuanjiang, the total population of Yuanjiang at that time was no more than 300,000, and the number of corpse hunters accounted for nearly 1%. The ratio with the regular army is 5.4 to 1."

"Of course, this comparison is meaningless, because the number of retained files over 3,000 does not mean that there are over 3,000 corpse hunters at the same time." Having said this, Pei Qingxian's eyes dimmed a little, "corpse hunters are a high-risk profession. , the casualty rate was even higher than that of the regular army, because the regular army has equipment, logistics, and a perfect command system, and most of the time, the corpse hunters fight alone in small teams, and once they go deep into the dangerous area, it is easy to encounter accidents."

"Before the successful development of the T virus serum, corpse hunters generally had only one reason for retirement: death. Later, the T virus serum began to be sold, the mortality rate of corpse hunters decreased, and the disability rate began to increase, and a small number of corpse hunters People have to take a back seat because of physical disabilities.”

   "After being away from the front lines, the corpse hunters who are forced to retire must find a way to make a living... Although the corpse hunters are paid more handsomely after completing their tasks, the corpse hunters often don't save much money."

   "Why can't I save money?" Liu Zhongqian asked. During the Anti-Japanese War in Yuanjiang, he was always hidden by Liu Yuanzhou and rarely went out, and various events in Yuanjiang period were never recorded in Zero One's database, so Liu Zhongqian didn't know about it.

Pei Qingxian was stunned for a while, he only thought that Liu Zhongqian was an observer of the report, he didn't expect him to ask Yang Xiaoqian aloud, and after asking Yang Xiaoqian for instructions with his eyes, Pei Qingxian turned to look at Liu Zhongqian, and replied seriously, "I am the corpse hunter guild. The chairman of the board of directors is not a simple manager, but also a corpse hunter who often runs on the front line, so he understands this phenomenon. The corpse hunters during the Anti-Japanese War were like, uh, like those caught in the Western fantasy novels Like the adventurers in the strange circle, they earn a lot, but they can’t survive.”

"Why is this? Because Zombie Hunt is not a video game. If it is an RPG game, the game designer will arrange for NPCs to send you equipment in order to make you want to continue playing. There will be monsters to give you explosive equipment. You can do hunting. This is not the case with the corpse. Yuanshui gave a lot of support in the early days of the guild, but the situation of Jiangxindao and Xinyuanjiang was just as difficult at that time. The equipment was limited, and it was impossible to give the equipment of the regular army to the corpse hunter. It is also a waste of armament resources to hand over high-end equipment to most corpse hunters, so corpse hunters must find a way by themselves.”

"Conventional weapons and equipment are not bad, and the price is not high. With the help of the Far Rescue Association and the front finger of the corpse, the guild has the ability to arm the first batch of corpse hunters in the early days of its establishment. My job is to hunt zombies and mutants, and I'm destined to leave the safe zone and run around, so in addition to weapons, I also include ammunition consumption, fuel consumption, food, clothing, housing, and other things, which are not small expenses. Besides, doing corpse hunting is a business. They are all dancing on the tip of a knife, and their heads are tied to their belts every day. The mental pressure is very high, so most corpse hunters need a channel to vent. They usually go to the settlements to drink, gamble, and recruit prostitutes, and the expenses are quite high. Big."

"And fighting monsters won't explode equipment, you can only collect brain cores. Sometimes the damage to personnel and ammunition is counted after a battle, but the gains outweigh the gains. Most of the time, it's not the zombies and mutants that really benefit the corpse hunters. Brain nuclei, but the materials found in dangerous areas, these things generally have to be handed in, they will be converted into corresponding silver coins and handed over to the corpse hunters, currency is always more difficult to preserve for a long time than materials."

"So, corpse hunters really can't save money. Even if they are lucky enough to make a fortune, corpse hunters often don't choose to wash their hands and retire, but choose to buy better equipment, recruit stronger teammates, and stock up. Stronger wine, then get drunk, sober up and continue to hunt corpses. Maybe this seems silly to people in peaceful cities, but almost every corpse hunter has a **** feud with zombies and mutants. If you choose this profession, even if you are forced to become a corpse hunter, as long as you have done a few missions, you will still hate zombies and mutants."

"They are all people who kill red eyes. Although this career is not long, for most people, 'corpse hunting' has changed from a career to a part of life and even the meaning of life, so as long as you don't die or become disabled , generally will not stop.”

"So it is." Liu Zhongqian nodded. Pei Qingxian did not shy away from the tricks the corpse hunters did in the settlement, but Liu Zhongqian was not displeased. He quite liked the feeling of being treated as an adult. .

"Well, because they can't save money, the corpse hunters who retire due to disability won't and can't sit still and find a way to find a job and re-employment. After all, it was a time of war, and there was no way to support the disabled. Besides, I I don't think any corpse hunter would allow himself to become a parasite."

"However, some physically disabled corpse hunters themselves did not have the skills needed to make a living at the time. For example, some corpse hunters used to be telemarketers and online merchants. The skills they learned in normal society could not make them work in During the anti-corpse war, they found jobs that were enough to satisfy their hunger, and they were disabled and unable to undertake manual labor, so they sought help from the department responsible for arranging reemployment in Yuanjiao Society.”

"Finally, under the guidance of the Far Rescue Association, some retired corpse hunters set up a training industry to teach the experience of fighting zombies. The non-governmental organization that hunts zombies and mutants has become a large-scale intermediary similar to the Adventurer's Guild Mission Hall. After paying the bounty and the intermediary fee, anyone can issue a bounty task in Fort No. 1 and Fort No. 2, while hunting The corpse is slowly becoming more like an adventurer in an adventure novel."

   "By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the corpse hunters distributed in Xinyuanjiang, Jiangxin Island and various settlements would not only explore dangerous areas to search for supplies, but also undertake tasks such as patrolling, sentry, and guarding, which greatly eased the pressure on the regular army."

Pei Qingxian paused and explained carefully: "For example, a small corpse tide is found at the sentry of a settlement in a certain settlement. At this time, if you want to mobilize troops from Xinyuanjiang or Jiangxin Island, it will cost a lot, but The corpse commander can’t sit idly by, then you can issue a bounty task, and hand over the problem to the nearby corpse hunter team to solve. Similarly, the public can also contribute or raise funds to release the task.”
