Chapter 54: The Cold Screen
Gu Lian felt a little thirsty, paused for a moment, and licked her lips. The cold and strange smell of engine oil permeates the nose, which follows the cold air into the lungs, which is not comfortable, but it makes people wake up a little from the slightly drunken warmth.
She noticed that Jiang Ran was staring at her, but she didn't know what he thought of her analysis. Right, wrong? Maybe he's secretly laughing at her hole-ridden rhetoric......
Chaotic thoughts came and went in her mind, and then, she firmly pushed them away. These distractions were of no use to her now, and she shouldn't be dragging herself back at this time.
"There are three most important materials in this world - armaments, medical care, and food. Gu Lian cheered up, straightened her back and said, "The first two have already been artificially transported, and since the other party has already attacked them, there is no reason why they will not attack the grain." ”
"Miss Gu, this is completely different. Jiang Ran suddenly laughed, shook his head to interrupt her, and looked at her calmly, "Although people collectively call them the three major resources, in fact, these three are not equal. If they look the same, it's just because in peacetime, the price doesn't reflect the real value. You should know what will be of real value if you get to the point where you say it is, right?"
“…… Grain. Gu Lian said in a low voice.
Armaments can be left without for a day, medicine can be delayed for a while, but without food, it is equivalent to forcing the besieged people into a mob for life. In the event of a riot of tens of thousands of people, it would be useless for Rao is base to have sophisticated weapons.
The nuclear radiation in Fukushima can make the price of salt on the mainland, which is across the sea, inexplicably soar, not to mention such a closed space with skeletons outside. And such a double-edged sword. How is it possible for the base to be monitored and controlled from time to time?
"I do know that the market price has not been normal lately, but there have been people in previous years who have tried to create market volatility and make huge profits. Panic run if done well. That would be tenfold profitable, and it's normal to have this kind of gambler here. But......" Jiang Ran smiled slightly, and pointed to something, "Do you think that someone who can have such means will risk violating the bottom line of the base to operate grain?"
"Under normal circumstances...... No. Gu Lian shook her head. But those people. Which one is a normal person, Gu Lian has only seen the tip of their ambition until now, and just this is what is revealed in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally. She was already shocked by it, and she could only follow the trend they had created.
It seems that Miss Gu has a different opinion. Jiang Ran bent down and put the teacup down.
Hearing what he meant, Gu Lian smiled slightly: "If I just entrust you to help me buy food, I don't need to say so much." That's why I'm telling you. Part of it is because we need to trade with integrity. ”
Jiang Ran was stunned. This middle-aged man, who looks gentle on the outside but is known for his ruthless style and love for money, laughed at this time. Seeing this, Gu Lian was in a bad mood, and a trace of frustration came out, is it still not good......
Jiang Ran observed his words, shook his head and smiled: "Don't get me wrong, it's just that I like your words very much." ”
…… This person. Do you like to buy food? Gu Lian was embarrassed.
Jiang Ran adjusted his sitting posture, and his suit pants were folded. Place your hands on your right knee and lean gently back in your chair. As he did this set of movements, he seemed to have finished thinking and looked up and said, "Where is he?"
Gu Lian just paused, quickly reacted, and opened her eyes in surprise, knowing that this was a successful transaction. Once the persuasion is successful, the plan is half successful, not to mention that the matter of Aster can also be solved, no matter how you think about it, it is a good thing to count in one fell swoop.
Gu Lianqiang held back her excitement and told him: "It's in the sixth-floor underground felony cell, the first room at the end of the corridor. ”
Jiang Ran showed a hint of joy on his face, Luo Xi, who had always looked a little restless, jumped up, while Xu Fei sat up silently, and with his fat body unimaginably quickly shook towards the terminal of the southwest corner, the ground shaking slightly.
Gu Lian looked at their excited looks, thought about it, and stepped aside.
"Finished talking?"
Yan Yuzhen rubbed one eye and said sleepily. Because I just woke up, I couldn't react a little, and my always indifferent and world-weary expression revealed a little sluggishness.
"That's it. ”
Gu Lian stared at his hair. He had slept with his cheeks propped up, but he slipped to his forehead while he fell asleep, and now he woke up, but the hair on his forehead did not come back, and a handful of dull hairs stood on end, making her hands itch for a while.
"Did they agree?" Yan Yuzhen reacted for a while, before he looked at Jiang Ran and the three of them blankly, his pale face was full of doubt, "Why ......?"
"When someone you know suddenly disappears, normal people get nervous, and when you hear about him, normal people are happy. Gu Lian stared at him, endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, stepped forward and carefully touched the handful of hair.
Yan Yuzhen frowned, and avoided her hand impatiently, but she still held a grudge against him for letting herself run into the crowd, and chased after her without discouragement. After hiding two or three times, he finally gave up his resistance, pursed his lips, and sat there sullenly staring at her. Gu Lian won a big victory, and she couldn't help but get up with the villain, and said with a smile: "Doctor Yan, don't you have such a person?"
Such a person?
Yan Yuzhen tilted his head in confusion. Was there ever a person in his life who would be sad when he disappeared and rejoice when he appeared? Without much thought, he knew that there could never be such a person in his barren and barren life, so he shook his head honestly.
"It's okay, you'll have it later. Gu Lian said with a smile.
Later, later......
Yan Yuzhen stared at her, and for some reason her heart became a little dull.
Such irresponsible words......
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, flashed sharply, grabbed Gu Lian's hand holding his hair, turned her around, protected her by his side, held her shoulder, and said in a cold and cold tone: "What are you doing?"
Gu Lian was a little confused by this change, and when she looked closely, she found that next to the position where she had just stood, there was Luo Xi. Yingting's eyebrows were shrouded in a thick aura, and the eyes of the generous young man were red, staring at her like a murderer's enemy, and his fists were clenched and creaking.
"What's the matter......" Gu Lian said in a daze, suddenly as if she thought of something, her face changed, she hurriedly broke Yan Yuzhen's hand and walked towards the terminal, and said urgently: "What's going on?"
Jiang Ran's face was ugly, if it weren't for Xu Fei holding him tightly, he looked like he would have pounced directly and beat her to death. Rao was like this, he was still panting, and hit her hard, Bai Jing Sven's face was red, and his muscles were bursting up, and he roared: "Are you playing us, ah?!"
Xu Fei said softly in a low voice: "Boss, calm down." ”
"Calm down, go ****** calm down!" Jiang Ran shook his arm, gasped a few times, and scolded angrily, "Fat Xu let go of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has not killed people for many years." ”
Gu Lian bit her lip, clenched her palm tightly, silently bypassed him, and stood still in front of the screen. It was exactly the same as when I saw him the day before, lying on the test table, covered in scars and blood, charred and bloody. However, this is not the most terrifying, Gu Lian's eyes wander unconsciously around the corners of the screen, cold lights, metal walls, and neatly flashing knives...... Slit throat.
Her fingers trembled, and she leaned forward, grabbing a corner of the table, biting her lip desperately. No...... Next to the monitor that cuts into the circuit, there is a small screen covered with blue-green colors, most of which are dark blue, and only the test bench has a faint green dot of light.
"Thermal imaging sensors. Xu Fei said in a low voice.
There was no anger or sadness in his dark eyes, only a dazed dazing that was deeper than usual, as if trapped in a fog.
Under what circumstances does a person lose heat?
Like mercury slowly sliding into my heart, heavy and cold, last night's quarrel revived in my brain.
The young man sneered and whispered in a low voice, "Since you are so uninteresting, how can I not give you a big gift...... Send the asters down too, okay?"
Gu Lian trembled, her fingers were cold, and her brain was blank.
No, she didn't believe it originally, whether it was Zhou Zhao or Ziyuan, there was always a part of her heart that believed him, he wouldn't do it, those people just ......
But when did she really know him?
Because it was too chaotic, Gu Lian wanted to laugh instead. (To be continued.) )
