Text Chapter 105 The Last Days 8
Just when Jin was completely unable to communicate with the person in front of him, the door of the room was once again slammed open by several old men who claimed to be scientists, and the person who was still the leader just now shouted with red eyes, "What do you want?" What do you want? ”
Kim seemed to have enough experience to deal with them, and immediately handed them the list of Qiu Yu's needs. **Soak! Book. It's a very strange situation, in the last days when communication between the original countries must have been lost, a few blonde and blue-eyed old men stared at Qiu Yu's list written in Chinese characters and sweated. And the reason for sweating is not that they can't read Chinese characters, but that they find that they can't meet the above requirements after they understand them.
"Can I change it for something else?" The old man at the head said what Kim had just said. However, instead of offering to help Qiu Yu find his lost companions like Kim, he reported everything he thought was valuable in the settlement to Qiu Yu one by one.
For the old man's behavior of penetrating the family, Jin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, for fear of inducing Qiu Yu's greed, and when the time came, he would bring a bunch of people to slaughter this settlement. But because he just owed Qiu Yu a big favor, and the scientists who entered a state of madness were not something they could stop. So all he can do is keep wiping his sweat.
Qiu Yu didn't have the slightest interest in what the old man had reported, and their so-called treasures were all rotten things in the real world in 2012.
Others see things that are more precious than life, and they are like garbage in front of them - what a classic YY bridge, but Qiu Yu doesn't feel superior and lofty at all, and some are just pressed to the weight of not being able to breathe.
It is as if the old man in front of him is a street child who is willing to take out dry and hard steamed buns as his daily ration in order to get a primary school textbook...... These needs and desires should have belonged to them.
As the old man reported the items more and more slowly, Qiu Yu knew that those things were already to the extent that they would have a significant impact on them after they were lost, but Qiu Yu still just listened expressionlessly, not intentionally torturing them, but he had to understand which things were most important to human beings in this era, and what kind of technology this settlement had reached.
“…… Two barrels of gasoline...... A radio, which is good, and I received a radio broadcast half a month ago...... A set of wind turbines. ”
This was the last thing the old man could come up with.
Qiu Yu saw that the old man's eyes had a ruthlessness that only existed when he killed people, and he hurriedly spoke, "My computer is not worth anything, what do you want with so many good things?" I don't have a lot of stuff with me. ”
Qiu Yu was not afraid that the old man would want to kill him, but that the old man was afraid that the old man would cut his flesh and exchange it at a discount. Anyway, it's something to be given to them, just give them a step, just change something.
The old man yelled excitedly, "Your computer is indeed not worth much, but the contents are simply worth the future of the entire human race." ”
Autumn Feather, "......"
In Qiu Yu's memory, those who claim to be scientists in the real world work every day to run around on the radio, television, the Internet, and various activities in school, so the adaptability they have cultivated has a professionalism far beyond their own duties. And the old man in front of him, who doesn't know how to bite when he hands it cheaply, is more like a scientist who only exists in a bit of tradition.
"I'm not interested in thinking about my future as a human being, I just care about whether my pocketbag is bulging enough." Qiu Yu had no choice but to continue to play the role of an investor, "I found several places where no one could afford to see the things inside, and they preferred to see and touch the benefits like me." So I guess you're the only one who thinks it's good, and maybe I'll give you these things as an investment, and when I can really make something good, I'll collect the rewards of these things that are worth the future of the entire human race. ”
"Of course. What do those idiots know, only science can lead humanity out of the current predicament. The old man danced his hands and feet as excitedly as he danced. Compared to someone like Jin who was worried about Qiu Yu's plans, the mere fact that he could keep important materials made the old man instantly regard Qiu Yu as a shrewd businessman with an excellent eye for science, "Five years, no, after three years you will get enough to drive you crazy in return." ”
Without waiting for Qiu Yu to say anything more, the group of old men ran out with cheers like prisoners who had been shut down for a long time and finally got a chance to let go.
"That doesn't seem good." Jin hesitated, "I can understand a businessman's investment, but your investment is too much, and you may not be able to support yourself if you continue like this." ”
"That's because your settlement has been favored by fate, and I just went along with fate, and I wouldn't be so generous anywhere else."
Under Jin Buji's gaze, Qiu Yu took out two sapper shovels, a medical kit, a set of electrician's tools and other things from his bag one by one and put them on the table beside him. As a result, the huge package was nearly half less than it was at the beginning, and even so, Qiu Yu was still a little too big. It's just that there are some necessary tools for survival in this world, as well as food and water, and I don't plan to eat rat meat and drink stinky water for the time being.
Qiu Yu pointed to a large pile of miscellaneous items on the table, "Since I have already invested, I will give these to you together, but I have one condition." ”
Jin's gaze was already a little dull, and he subconsciously said, "What conditions?" ”
"I need someone to take me to other large settlements, or at least to the nearest settlement if I don't have one."
"You're leaving? When? ”
"Right now."
The value that he can play here is almost the same, even if he spends more time to help develop here, the game will be lost and there will be nothing, so between what he can and go all out, Qiu Yu can only choose the former.
Development is what they have to do in this game, and winning the game is what they must do, and time is much more precious to them than they are.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Knowing that the person in front of him and himself have a difference that he can feel, but cannot organize in words, Jin doesn't say much, and uses his actions to embody the necessary decisiveness in the last days.
Three minutes later, the two of them stood in front of Qiu Yu.
"You two?"
Standing in front of Qiu Yu were actually Jack and Cullen.
Afraid that Qiu Yu would misunderstand that he had chosen two people with little combat experience, Jin hurriedly explained, "The closest settlement to here is a large settlement derived from the shelter in the city, and Jack was originally from there, and he joined on the way we moved here, so he is familiar with both the road and the place, and he should be able to help you a lot." As for Coulomb, he is Jack's partner and eye, and he has excellent vision both day and night. In addition......"
"Plus, we all have this guy." Culomb raised the charge in his hand, "These two guns alone are worth five or six professional hunters with backward weapons." ”
Qiu Yu nodded, looking at the bulging bags on the backs of the two of them, "Your things were packed so quickly?" ”
"I didn't have anything to bring." Jack patted the bag on his back with his backhand, "It's all food and water in exchange for what I just got, and if nothing goes wrong, it's enough to walk back and forth." ”
The corners of Qiu Yu's eyes jumped, looking at the size of their bag, not to mention all, it was half filled with food and water, which was enough to eat for at least seven or eight days. I don't know how much they eat or how fast they walk, but on the whole, it seems that the nearest settlement is not close enough to be easily reached.
Qiu Yu worried, "How far is that place?" ”
Kim replied professionally, "From the map, there are 130 kilometers. ”
130 km, a far way off, but not to an unacceptable level. But Jack's addition suddenly made Qiu Yu's head as big as a fight.
"Don't talk about the distance on the map, we can't fly, and we have to bypass a few nomadic territories and mutated animal dense areas on the way, so it's a lot farther than the distance on the map."
"Well, hopefully it's been a nice ride." Under Jin's strange and surprised gaze, Qiu Yu easily dragged the large bag that unfolded the wheel......
In the eyes of others, the next settlement is Akiha's destination, but for Akiha, it's just a point to get information. With the help of communicators in such a world, it may be easy to find lost companions, but finding an alien landing chamber that doesn't know where to fall is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. But now I can only fish it little by little, so I don't have time to delay at all. After everything was decided, Qiu Yu immediately set off.
After sending the three of them out of the trap-filled entrance, King Kong was about to turn away when he saw an old man in a white coat running over panting.
"How can you go so fast and give you this."
After the old man gave Qiu Yu the things in his hand, he turned around and was about to go back.
"Wait, what is this?"
Qiu Yu took the thing he handed over and looked at it, it was half a coin with a globe pattern.
The old man explained impatiently, "This is proof of business with you, and in the future, whether it is you or anyone else, as long as you come to us with this half-fast coin, and can match it with the half of the money in our hand, we will pay us as promised." ”
The old man didn't seem very sophisticated, but he wasn't a fool, and judging from his serious attitude, it seemed that he really intended to repay Qiu Yu someday in the future.
The torrent of time can wipe out everything that exists and will be. Every game is won for the first time in decades. Although Qiu Yu is rigorous in doing things, he did think about coming to them in the next game to get some rewards, but he didn't actually have much expectations.
But now, looking at the old man's eyes who were anxious to go back to absorb knowledge, but with a look of firmness and seriousness, Qiu Yu pinched the half of the coin in his hand, "Maybe my departure will be quite long, as long as ......"
Qiu Yu wanted to say, grow to the day when you don't live, but some strange emotions make him unable to speak. A few days of their own time may be their whole life......
"As a scientist, keeping your promises is the most important quality. Even if we are all dead, I will let those born from this settlement continue to abide by it. ”
At this time, he is still a stupid old man who does not understand the world, but he is clearly a wise elder. Qiu Yu even had the feeling that he was being deceived by the disguise in front of him for a moment.
"Huh." Qiu Yu smiled happily, "But the time may really grow until you are all dead, and when your descendants move elsewhere, how can I find you." ”
"This ......," the old man looked down for a moment, and then took out the other half of the coin in his hand, "Some powerful organizations and settlements have their own symbols, and in the future, we will use this half of the coin in my hand as a symbol here." As long as you see an organization with such a sign, you can know that it is us. ”
"Then add another layer of insurance."
Qiu Yu took out a dagger with a dark blue hue from his shoe, and under the gaze of the eight eyes that almost bulged out of his sockets, he easily cut a corner from the coin in his hand and handed it to the old man.
"I hope that in the future, anyone who comes from you will know that someone will ask for the other half of the coin opposite your logo. I'll give you this little piece of coin, so don't let too many people know about it...... It's not half a piece that really matches your coin, but two-fifths of what I have. ”
The old man unequivocally picked up the small coin and walked back, "I really don't know whether to say that you are smart or careful." ”
"I want to hear you compliment me on being smart and careful."
Qiu Yu also dragged his big bag, and walked back to back with the old man in another direction.
The two have talked, collaborated, and even had partially similar dreams in the torrent of time. But the opposite line of time and space made the two never intersect from then on. This is the first person in this game to make Qiu Yu realize the faint cruelty, but not the last......
Jack and Culomb tightened their grips on their weapons, and one after the other protected Autumn Feather in the middle, embarking on a journey that was far more difficult than they had ever imagined.
