"'He sinks, he falls.'" You have laughed again and again, and you see, he has fallen above you. He is happy and sorrowful, but his bright light is close to your darkness. ”

Under the pale light, an elegant middle-aged man wearing headphones stood in front of the device and recited affectionately into the microphone. He speaks clearly and in a calm tone, but he has a passion of his own. The Nietzsche anthology in his hand seems to have been turned over many times, the pages rolled up, and the yellowed paper reveals a fragile old age peculiar to civilization.

There was a pungent smell of motor oil in the house, which had not been ventilated for many years. In addition to the recording equipment, there were scattered metal parts on the floor, covered in ash, and a behemoth in the corner, covered by a canvas, if you opened it, you would see that it was an electric car that had been abandoned halfway through.

This is an inconspicuous one of the many "ghosts" in the base, the three caves of cunning rabbits, and they are always ready to escape as the restless elements of the base.

"Would you like a slice?"

A quiet voice sounded quietly.

On one side of the scarlet two-seater, sits a fat body. He was wearing a huge green T that could put on two normal people, watermelon lines, the head drilled out of the round neck was white and fat, his eyes were black and dazed, and when he spoke, his white tofu-like skin trembled, bringing out delicate ripples.

He was ordered not to eat anything that crunched, so he opted for a plate of thinly sliced cheese. The cheese produced and sold in the base naturally can't be counted on how delicious it is, but fortunately, the traffic in the last days is extremely inconvenient, and the white fat man has no chance to compare, so he won't complain.

Gu Lian, who was bored, looked to the left side. She didn't have a place to sit. I had to sit on the armrest of the sofa, and this arrangement happened to put two foodies in a pile.

In front of me was a plate stretched out, on which lay slices of thinly sliced cheese with a faint sesame aroma. Gu Lian couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and her round black eyes revealed a hint of greed.

"Is that okay?" Gu Lian also asked quietly.

The white fat man nodded.

She couldn't help but smile happily, nodded at the white fat man in return, stretched out her paw to grab a piece, and slowly gnawed it on, while her eyes swept to the others.

In addition to the middle-aged man who recites Nietzsche, there are two other men in the room. They sat on a double couch. One is heroic, angular, the other is thin and pale. Tired and indifferent, yet at this time they tacitly did the same action - they fell asleep with their heads on their backs.

- It's no wonder that listening to a big man's poetry recitation for half an hour, don't talk about them. She's also fighting now.

Gu Lian retracted her attention. Concentrate on solving the food with Xu Fei, you and I eat silently. After eating, Gu Lian touched her stomach regretfully: "Is there anything else?" ”

On the white jade-like skin, with a blink of dark eyes, Xu Fei turned around with great effort, picked up a plate of dried mangoes from the shelf next to him, and slowly turned back, spreading the plate on the trembling white fat palm. Silently handed it to Gu Lian.

Gu Lian was very happy, one big and one small, and she buried her head in eating it violently.

Until a shadow hung in front of the two of them. Gu Lian realized that unconsciously, the middle-aged man's lullaby had stopped.

"You guys had a good meal."

Jiang Ran smiled, his eyes stern.

Xu Fei and Gu Lian looked at each other and lowered their heads like students who were caught talking in class and were caught by the head teacher.

"Be modest, look at what you've gotten fat." Jiang Ran said to Xu Fei, "I don't want to think about how much a plate of cheese costs!" ”

The second half of the sentence is the point, Gu Lian thought. Listen to that heart-wrenching tone!

"It's a pleasure to see Miss Haidian District Neighborhood Committee again, and of course, Dr. Yan who is asleep over there. How did I just read? Jiang Ran dragged a chair and sat over, the sleeves of his suit were lightly rolled up, and he was gentle but not shrewd.

Will she say she didn't listen...... She didn't like to read those philosophical books in the first place, especially the German philosophers who were habitually hard and dark, and she gnawed hard before, all in order to maintain a common topic with that person, no matter how good Jiang Ran was, it was not him, how could she listen carefully.

Gu Lian coughed lightly and decided to crook the building: "It turns out that Mr. Jiang likes Nietzsche." ”

"How is it possible, Nietzsche can't be a moneymaker." Jiang Ran said softly.

"......" Where did the cheesy uncle come from! Gu Lian was dumbfounded, "Then you just ......"

"It's just an image." Jiang Ran took a sip of hot water, moistening his slightly hoarse voice, "A successful person in the underground world needs to have a little convincing quality. ”

Seeing Gu Lian's half-understood appearance, Jiang Ran smiled and made an analogy: "For example, if a mafia godfather raises a cat, an official marries the daughter of an intellectual, and a company does enough charity, then people will trust him more, and even subconsciously block out bad information." The people on the road knew that I liked to read, and although they would laugh at me for being stupid, they would also be more assured of my integrity, and more business would come. ”

Ahhh

"Okay, did you come to us for something? Miss Haidian District Neighborhood Committee Representative - Or are you more willing to be called a war sister? Jiang Ran said with a smile.

"No, just call me Gu Lian." Gu Lian was shocked by the title, "I'm here to talk to you about a business." ”

Jiang Ran's eyes flashed, he laughed lightly, and rubbed the edge of the cup: "I don't know if Miss Gu has anything to exchange?" ”

In this calm, gentle tone, Gu Lian heard the tension. Of course, she knew what they needed, and this was exactly what she wanted, so she couldn't help but sit up straight and said, "The news you want." ”

Jiang Ran's hand trembled slightly, the sofa where Xu Fei was sitting creaked, and Luo Xi, who didn't know when he woke up, increased his breathing.

After being silent for a moment, Jiang Ran looked at her and said calmly, "Presumably Miss Gu's request will not be small." ”

"It's not small for me, but it's probably a piece of cake for you." Gu Lian said with a smile.

Jiang Ran urged silently. She didn't intend to upset people's appetites, and said bluntly: "I need to know the arrangements for Miss Sujia's third birthday party, and in addition, I also need you to buy something for me." ”

Jiang Ran's eyes flashed with surprise: "Second Miss's? Why? ”

"Could it be that every time Mr. Jiang sells information, he asks his employer like this?" Gu Lian asked with a smile.

Jiang Ran paused, smiled and shook his head: "It's me who overstepped, Miss Gu forgive me." He rubbed his brows, leaned back in his chair and muttered for a while, then asked, "What do you need to buy?" ”

"m." Gu Lian pursed her lips, removed the last bit of hesitation, and handed over an envelope, "It's inconvenient for me to come forward now, so I can only ask you to buy it, the sooner the better." ”

"Miss Gu, if it's for herself, don't worry. The food in the base is distributed according to work, and even if you are penniless, you will not go without food. Jiang Ran said, reached out and picked up the envelope and glanced at it, and then put it back on the table quietly.

"Why is Mr. Jiang so dishonest?" Gu Lian sighed, waved her hand, and made an open and honest gesture, "Doctor Yan told me that you are the most outstanding intelligence merchant in this base. ”

This is true -- although Yan Yuzhen actually uses the term "intelligence peddler."

Jiang Ran smiled: "It's a false praise, just eat it with a mouthful of food." ”

"Even I, an outsider, can feel that it won't be peaceful lately. Whether it's an orphanage, a mission center, an infirmary, or a trading market, the atmosphere is impetuous. "Dealing with a shrewd and powerful person like Jiang Ran is too difficult for Gu Lian, who has never entered society. She tried her best not to look green, at least not to show her weakness. She chose to cut out all the tricks, patiently and honestly narrating her observations and analyses slowly.

"Does the base allow people to go out without permission?" Gu Lian asked.

"The one who has received the task can." Jiang Ran shook his head, "Ordinary people need to apply for a permit, but it's difficult. ”

"That is, it is a physically closed society." Gu Lian was not surprised, "The total amount of resources is fixed, once someone chokes the supply-side resources and forms a monopoly market, and there are bad rumors, what will happen?" ”

Jiang Ran stared at her, smiling rather than smiling, and said lightly: "Run." ”

"I don't have specific data on hand, so I can only say what I've observed in general terms. An atmosphere of monopoly and panic in armaments has formed, and I estimate that prices will skyrocket in the next two days, and speculators will follow; In terms of medical supplies, no matter how rare they are, the price is too outrageous, and there are too many people in line. Gu Lian paused for a moment and raised her eyes, which was not very confident, but as her guess turned into words, she gradually had a real feeling.

Xu Fei and Jiang Ran glanced at each other, and then looked at Gu Lian with a little more solemn eyes. There was some information in her words that even they didn't know, they didn't know where she got the news of the arms monopoly, but they knew that she had gone to the orphanage with a large number of armaments, maybe she really knew something; And her analysis is aligned with the information and data they have gathered.

Is this girl, as previously analyzed, just a lucky person with sharp intuition? (To be continued.) )

Ah, this kind of pure theoretical dry goods is really sour and cool~ I'm a little worried about the weight of my heroine.
