Chapter 54: The Ransom
"Your ransom then."
"20 red energy bars, we just said yes!"
Lao Zhao changed to a smile and looked at Wang Jie with squinting eyes.
Wang Jie said with a sad face: "Uncle, this is my whole belongings!" ”
In the end, Wang Jie offered 60 red energy bars and 100 blue energy bars as ransom.
Just as Lao Zhao was about to leave the room, Wang Jie was about to step forward and grab Lao Zhao, but was stopped by Rhubarb.
Lao Zhao said: "What else do you have?" ”
"Can you give me a room?"
Lao Zhao looked at the box that he didn't take away.
"Gotcha! I'd better stay here! Then you have to give me something to eat! ”
"The landlord's family has no surplus grain!"
"I'll trade it for an energy bar! A light-colored energy bar on the market can be exchanged for 30 packs of nutritional mixture, so I'll exchange you for 10 packs! Is it okay for you to be merciful when you grow old and be merciful? ”
"Wait!"
Lao Zhao returned to the base, and Chen Qiang said, "There are yours." ”
"Let the master smile."
"How many packets of nutritional mixtures do we have?"
"There are 25 packs in total, and five of them are more than 200 years old! 10 packets were his own, and 10 packets were remnants of that ship. ”
"Let's send them all over first! We're going to go out and see what we're going to see. ”
"It's the master."
Lao Zhao took the food to Wang Jie and left the room.
Wang Jie was also hungry, so he immediately tore open two packets and ate them in two or two, and after eating, Wang Jie fell asleep on the table bored.
Wang Jie also knew that the owner here was not unreasonable, at least he didn't force himself to wear a collar.
Since there is no danger, then sleep in peace.
Chen Qiang didn't pay attention to Wang Jie when he fell asleep so boldly in the projection, and planned to go out for a walk and get in touch with the future human race.
First of all, he had to prepare the means of transportation, planning to use the Scorpion, and the boat that was dug out of the belly of the mutant great white shark, Chen Qiang was going to modify him and put it on the Scorpion.
Chen Qiang didn't care about Wang Jie, and entered the platform below with peace of mind.
Wang Jie was bored every day, except for sleeping, he was sitting, and he accidentally discovered that the production date of five packs of nutritional mixture was more than 200 years ago.
It's older than himself, and it's delicious and undead.
Because Wang Jie eats a relatively large amount of food, and the nutritional mixture is not full of hunger and death, after 13 days the food is exhausted, he calls Lao Zhao according to the pager.
It's not that Wang Jie doesn't want to escape, it's too cold outside, and there is an air conditioner in the room to ensure that he won't freeze to death, and he will be frozen to death if he can't run a few steps outside.
The door opened, and Lao Zhao entered the room.
Lao Zhao also felt that Wang Jie was not bad after a few days of contact, but he still did not let down his vigilance.
"Lao Zhao has nothing to eat, give me something to eat! I will not eat you in vain. ”
"Do you want to eat?"
"Nonsense, you see I'm done with food!"
"We don't have anything to eat for you."
"Then I will eat what you eat, I am not picky."
"It's not a price."
"I'll give you as much as you want."
"Do you have that many energy bars?"
Wang Jie thought to himself: What good things can you eat as a slave, what can you eat in addition to nutritional mixtures.
"You're underestimating me too much, tell me how many energy bars you need to eat."
Lao Zhao spread his hands and raised five fingers.
"Aren't they just five light-colored energy bars! I can afford it. ”
Lao Zhao shook his head.
"What! Lao Zhao, you are too dark, you want a blue energy bar. ”
Lao Zhao still shook his head.
"I don't believe you want a red energy bar for food, Lao Zhao didn't see that you were a vampire."
"You should have seen how many years there are five packets of nutritional mixture! Tell you that we don't have anyone here to eat this stuff at all, and I told you that it is your blessing to be a slave of the master, do you want to eat it, and don't want me to go back. ”
After speaking, Lao Zhao got up and prepared to go back.
"Wait, 5 energy bars will last a few days."
Lao Zhao held up a finger.
"A year is also so-so."
"You dream, what do you think your energy bar is made of.
Tell you to only eat one meal. ”
Wang Jie's whole body jumped up and pointed at Lao Zhao with his finger: "You. You. You vampire. ”
Then he thought for a moment and said, "What do you say if it's not worth five energy bars?" ”
"I won't charge you energy bars."
"That's what you said."
Then Wang Jie slapped the table with his hand and said, "Go, you go and get it, I want to see if the food you eat every day is worth my five energy bars." ”
"Wait!"
After a while, Lao Zhao let the machine come in with an incubator, and Wang Jie was very surprised when he looked at the robot, this is a combat-level robot! In the water world, it's not like a treasure stored in a machine warehouse.
was actually used by Lao Zhao as a servant robot, and instantly became curious about Lao Zhao's master, and at the same time even more curious about dinner.
The robot opened the incubator, and a strong aroma of food emanated.
When all meals are served.
Spicy cabbage, dried tofu, stir-fried loofah with tomatoes.
With a pot full of rice, the last thing I got out was a brioche bread.
Lao Zhao said: "This cream bread is leftover from my grandson, and it will be cheap for you if it is not fresh tomorrow." ”
Wang Jie swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"Why are you still stunned! It's not good when it's cold. ”
Wang Jie devoured it at this time, looking at Wang Jie eating like this, Pharaoh Zhao thought of the first time he ate, and not only smiled.
When Wang Jie added all the plates and rice bowls, he burped contentedly.
"How about it's worth 5 energy bars?"
Wang Jie nodded and asked curiously, "Lao Zhao, are you here?" ”
Lao Zhao didn't speak, revealing his collar.
Wang Jie said tentatively: "You eat this every day." ”
Lao Zhao still touched the collar and didn't make a sound.
In fact, Wang Jie's heart is already confused, you must know that he has only seen these foods on video, or heard about them in the mouths of the older generation.
This plant-based food is now very scarce, and only those top powers can have it, and it belongs to the kind of product that has no price.
After all, in the water world, all kinds of materials are scarce, and after more than 200 years of consumption, most plants are only synonymous.
If the slaves can eat this kind of food every day, how big will his backstage be, even if Lao Zhao is bragging about discounts, it will be incredible.
It may not be a very bad thing to be a slave under such great strength, you must know that he can't take out the energy bar that Wang Jie promised to pay, a ranger has no fixed residence, and valuables are carried with him.
He wanted to find a chance to slip away, but now it seemed impossible at all, what a luxury it was to let a battle robot do the work of a servant.
Especially when you go out, it's icy and snowy.
"Have you figured it out?"
Wang Jie pretended to be confused and said, "Have you thought about anything?" ”
"You really think my master will scarce a few of your energy bars! Seriously, if it weren't for my master, I wouldn't have been embarrassed for you, you think you could stay here so chic, the power system in this room is not for nothing. ”
Lao Zhao also has an idea: as Chen Qiang's housekeeper, although he wears a collar, Chen Qiang has never regarded the two as slaves, and he also recognizes his grandson as his younger brother, and all kinds of care can't be faked.
is saying that Lao Zhao can live until now, but he is very shrewd.
Chen Qiang wants to get in touch with the outside world, no one who is familiar with the external environment can't do it, it just so happens that Wang Jie is a ranger, and a ranger is the profession that knows how to survive in the last days, and a famous ranger is more suitable to be Chen Qiang's leader.
Lao Zhao was no longer ambiguous, because Chen Qiang was about to modify the Scorpion, and directly gave the best ultimatum: "After eating this meal, you are thinking about it yourself!" By the way, this room will be cut off from energy in 1 hour. ”
Wang Jie thought to himself: You can't simply become a slave like this, otherwise you will be looked down upon in the future.
One got up and was about to grab Lao Zhao, but Wang Jie decided that it was better to show his hand and take the initiative to become a slave.
It's a pity that the idea is good, the reality is very shocking, Wang Jie was suspended in mid-air, it turned out that Chen Qiang was not at ease and asked Erhuang to quietly protect Lao Zhao.
Just when Wang Jie was about to capture Lao Zhao, Er Huang grabbed Wang Jie's neck, like catching a chicken, and lifted Wang Jie in the air.
Wang Jie was stuck in his neck at this time and it was difficult to breathe, but he was extremely shocked in his heart, there were only Lao Zhao and a combat robot in this room.
Wang Jie's attack was very sudden, and the fighting machine could not be rescued in time at all, could there be other robots.
Put your hands down your throat to ease your breathing.
When Lao Zhao saw Wang Jie hanging in mid-air, he knew that Chen Qiang still sent someone to protect him.
My heart suddenly warmed.
Since Er Huang did not remove his disguise, Wang Jie was very strangely suspended in mid-air.
"Is it rhubarb or erhuang?"
"I'm Erhuang, Brother Qiang doesn't worry about letting me protect you."
"Put him in a collar and put him down!"
The collar floated in the air and put it on Wang Jie's neck, Wang Jie knew that this was a camouflage robot that made the nearby environment more invisible, because Wang Jie could feel the outline of the robot, but he could not see the robot with the naked eye.
It's okay that the sneak attack was successful, but now that it has failed, Wang Jie is not resisting, and after putting on the collar, Erhuang put Wang Jie down.
Lao Zhao looked at Wang Jie, who was sitting on the chair panting heavily, and said, "Erhuang, you should come out first!" Don't freak out our little ones. ”
Seeing Erhuang's prototype appear, Wang Jie was even more surprised that this kind of robot was a model he had never seen before.
This is an unknown new type of robot, it seems that the owner here is very mysterious, because Wang Jie discovered the symbol of this force, the 'scorpion', and has never heard of the existence of such a force.
When Wang Jie took a breath, Lao Zhao spoke: "It's okay to do this earlier, wait for me to give you that cold-proof suit." ”
By the way, Wang Jie did a full body examination, and the results of the examination were very healthy.
After putting on the collar, Lao Zhao took Wang Jie to Chen Qiang's place, Wang Jie, who was wearing a cold-proof suit, followed behind Lao Zhao, in addition to being shocked or shocked, there were combat robots patrolling everywhere, and there were Titan machines outside the fence who didn't know what they were doing.
There are only a few Titan Robots in the North-South Alliance and the Neutral Alliance, and other forces have long since destroyed them and remanufactured them into other parts.
After entering the base, Wang Jie was numb anyway, and all kinds of robots were walking in the warehouse transporting all kinds of materials, not to mention tens of thousands, and there were many flying machines, all of which were combat-level aircraft in terms of model.
There were also robot warehouses, mecha warehouses, etc., but Wang Jie found that the entire base had not encountered other humans.
The energy consumption to operate such a base is astronomical, no wonder Lao Zhao said that he couldn't look down on the energy bar in his hand.
At this time, Xiaobai walked up and said to Lao Zhao: "Brother Zhao Qiang is busy with something to get out of now, you can bring people to the entertainment hall!" ”
"Okay! How's the Scorpion refitted? ”
"I should be able to test it out today."
Lao Zhao's eyes lit up, and after signaling to Xiaobai, he took Wang Jie into the entertainment area.
"Sit down here for a moment! When the master comes and asks you anything, you answer honestly. ”
