16. This is a society in which individuals eat people
The average person wants to get a billion dollars in the short term, even if it is just an asset, it is very difficult.
If you change an anxious master, you can jump to your feet and scold your mother.
But Victor was unmoved.
As long as his plan goes well, this promotion task will be a matter of easy completion.
Just as he was about to contact Royce, footsteps sounded behind him.
Without looking back, Old Ford's big voice sounded: "Damn it! A bunch of uncooked bitches! β
Victor, as a beneficiary, wisely did not answer.
Old Ford didn't care, walked around Victor into the corner, and when he came out again, he carried two bottles of beer in his hand and handed Victor a bottle.
The change in attitude should not be too obvious.
Victor didn't dislike it either, took the beer and twisted the beer lid with his right hand, and the beer lid was lifted off - don't look at him as a rich second generation, but he doesn't drink less beer, and this thing is indispensable when masturbating in Chinatown.
Old Ford was not to be outdone, and unscrewed the cap of the beer like Victor, and the two of them touched the bottle and drank the small half bottle with their necks up.
Alcohol and cigarettes are the easiest to bring two men closer.
Old Ford sat next to Victor with his butt, patted the latter's shoulder and sighed: "I didn't expect that I could live in the sun in my lifetime, I owe you a favor." β
Victor smiled and touched the bottle with Old Ford again.
It's good to be a listener, and I don't expect old Ford to help me.
After two or three sips of a bottle of beer, old Ford slammed his mouth as if he was still savoring the taste.
Beer is a luxury in the underworld.
Suddenly.
Old Ford looked at Victor and said with a serious face: "Boy, let me confirm with you again, do you really have the ability to make all 38 people here return to normal?" You know the price to lie to me! β
Old Ford lifted up his jacket and pulled out the small revolver that was inserted in the back of the waist.
Tell the truth.
This did not have the slightest deterrent effect on Victor, and unless the little revolver was inserted into his mouth and shot, it would wear out the skin at most.
But there is still to be an attitude.
"Of course! I can guarantee that. Victor looked serious.
Old Ford squinted for a few seconds, then smiled heartily and patted Victor on the shoulder.
"Good! Very good! My old Ford's vision hasn't gone wrong for so many years, and I believe what you say is true. β
He stood up and shouted outside, "Jack, go and call little Avril back, let's have a good time!" Tomorrow we all get out of this damn sewer! β
Someone outside answered, followed by cheers from others.
It's OK!
In this underground world, only one meal a day is eaten, and the food is stored behind the pipe in old Ford's bedroom.
Now that he said that he had a good time and no longer considered the future food storage, what Victor said before can be sure to be 100% credible!
The thought of finally leaving this dark place made many people cry with joy.
In this situation, the crying is extremely contagious, and after a while, one after another, they choked and cried, and even cried directly.
The crying old Ford was full of displeasure and scolded: "Someone died or what?" Why don't you hurry up and move things together! Don't want to eat? β
The rebuke did not curb the spread of the cry, but someone still responded to the call and walked in.
Victor followed into the corner, curious to see what was inside.
The pipe, like lightning, has two corners, connecting a ten-meter-high cylindrical space, with a small light hanging at the top to illuminate the area.
Although there are not many materials, they are neatly arranged, most of them are unbranded biscuits, various drink bottles filled with water, some folded old clothes, and the remaining few cardboard boxes are filled with lighters, paper cutters, nail clippers and other sundries.
These were all the possessions of this refuge, and the total value was even less than the $800 that Victor had given to Ford Sr. in the first place.
No wonder as soon as he showed up at that time, he asked for money first.
It's really poor!
That's it.
The few mutants who came in were still looking at the biscuits and water and swallowing hard, if it weren't for the presence of old Ford, I'm afraid they couldn't help but eat.
Pursing his lips, Victor picked up a box of biscuits and followed old Ford out - it wasn't that he was lazy, just a few things, and one person carried a box and it was gone.
On the other hand, the water in various drink bottles needs to be carried several times back and forth.
So.
Old Ford said that he had a good meal, but in fact he was just half a box of biscuits and two-thirds of a bottle of water for each personβVictor took more, with a whole box of biscuits and a bottle of Coke that had not yet been opened.
Several children around couldn't help but pay attention to the bottle of Coke frequently - including little Avril Lavigne who was called back.
Victor beckoned little Avril to her heartbroken and stuffed Coke and cookies into her arms.
"Is it really all for me?" Little Avril's golden pupils were full of disbelief: "It's a whole bottle of Coke and a big bag of cookies!" β
"Well, it's all for you." Victor smiled a little reluctantly: "I can absorb light energy instead of eating, and I won't be hungry." β
"Wow~ Then this ability is not very bad, we can't see the sun once a year." After little Avril finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth.
She felt that she had said the wrong thing and that it was wrong to laugh at the abilities of others.
The little guy apologized to Victor very seriously.
Victor felt that his throat was blocked, and he couldn't speak, he could only touch her little head, and his hands were full of oiliness.
In this underground world, bathing is superfluous, and water is the source of life, how can it be so luxurious.
Coke, little Avril finally only took a sip, and the rest was distributed to the other children.
The sensible one is distressing.
A party that is said to be a "loose meal" can be said to be eaten without the slightest sense of ceremony.
It was the hardest meal Victor had ever had in his life - even though he hadn't eaten anything.
I was in a panic.
He never imagined that there would be people living in underground passages, not bathing for a year, eating only one meal a day, and only a biscuit and half a glass of water for a meal.
In silence.
Two hours have passed, and Rice, who initially accepted the trade, is still alive and kicking, without the slightest abnormality.
At last, the crowd couldn't hold it anymore, and frequently asked Old Ford to start immediately.
Don't say anything about waiting for so many years, it's not bad for these few hours.
Only those who have really experienced despair know that when you can get rid of despair, you really don't wait for a second - otherwise how could there be so many people who have left the house?
Old Ford didn't stop this time, and after consulting Victor's consent, he began to call out his name one by one.
As the person in charge of this shelter, he naturally knows the strength and weakness of everyone, and all of them who shouted at the beginning were [F-] ranks.
The process is up to five seconds per person.
After that, Victor will take a symbolic break for a minute and then move on to the next one.
When little Avril was called, the little guy looked very hesitant, and finally shook his head firmly and refused.
Her reasoning was: "Only me and Uncle Ford can have night vision here, and without me, Uncle Ford will be living at the entrance again." β
It's really sensible and heart-wrenching.
For the first time, Victor had the urge to kill - what kind of parents would abandon this little angel and let her live in this dark world?!
Old Ford was also moved to be speechless for a while, and his beard trembled violently.
He hugged little Avril tightly and said in a trembling voice, "There is no refuge!" All are relieved today! We're going to live on the ground with sunshine! So little Avril, you can be an ordinary girl again! β
Little Avril nodded her little head as if she didn't understand, very confused: "Do you want to go back to life on the ground?" That...... Where am I going? My home is here! β
That moment.
Victor was on the verge of saying "I'll raise you".
But he was a step slower.
Old Ford roared as if he had sworn an oath: "No! Hell your home is here! You will live with me in the future! I'll give you a home with sunshine! I Ford Benjamin promises! β
Victor pursed his lips and forced himself not to look at little Avril and continue to trade with the others.
It took two hours before and after, and Victor put the mutant abilities of everyone present into the [inventory], and harvested a total of E-level [bloodline] Γ4 and F-level [bloodline] Γ34.
36 original residents, plus a little Avril F-class, and old Ford's E-class.
Because it has not been sold to the platform, the specific vouchers and plane points cannot be counted.
However, the scene was a little out of control, and a group of people who had recovered to ordinary people were huddled together, laughing, howling, and crying.
He watched silently alone, and it was difficult to squeeze out a smile in the face of those who were extremely grateful to him.
Originally.
Being an ordinary person is already their most extravagant hope?
Is it only the Marvel Universe that is so cruel, or has this society always been so cruel?
He knew the answer.
This society has always been so cruel!
Lu Xun has long said it: "This is a society where individuals eat people." β
