It's been a week since the last negotiation......

"This is the third time," Summer's displeasure was already written on his face, "if he is not going to let it go, then we are going to find another partner, as far as I know, the junction to the surface is not only at Gray River Station, it just happens to be close, Deputy Station Chief Bolívar, you know?" ”

"Of course, of course," the deputy stationmaster wiped the sweat from his chin, his eyes flashed with a trace of sorrow, but his face was full of red light, as bright as a lotus flower, "Mr. Summer, don't worry, I have convinced the stationmaster of the good wild man, he nodded." ”

"Thirty orphans per month?"

The deputy stationmaster nodded firmly, "There will be no mistake." ”

"Nothing can be wrong?" Summer snorted lightly, as if extremely disdainful of his oath, "You said the same thing last time, but as a result, I haven't gone over to find a scold." ”

"Didn't you agree at the time, Mr. Xia, it was my fault last time," the deputy stationmaster looked aggrieved, as if he was about to cry, "I didn't expect him to bite the number of people to death." ”

Summer pouted, "If you find out that the other party is an ugly woman, when the pants have been taken off halfway, the best thing to do is to quickly close your eyes and take them off, and get everything done, so that the honor of our respected wild man stationmaster will not be lost too much, I can't figure it out, what is the difference between fifteen people and thirty people?" “

"If he can think of this, how can he be the stationmaster of Noo, but Mr. Xia is relieved, he really nodded and agreed this time, and several of his most powerful subordinates even forced him to write a promise in public, and it took me a lot of effort to make this promise."

Summer comprehended, "If things really go well, Stationmaster Boliva, I will naturally reward you well, oh, and the merchant of the Han Court." “

Boliva was overjoyed, and he quickly said with a hypothetical expression, "By the way, thank you to Stationmaster Noo, if he doesn't nod, we won't say much to the point." “

"Of course I'll thank him by the way, alas, this stationmaster is as stubborn and a headache as Vilna of Grey River, and I really don't want to deal with him anymore."

Bolivar echoed with deep sympathy, "Honest people are naturally the same, oil and water do not enter, tea and salt do not touch, how can we lay people, to be honest, dealing with the stationmaster Verna is much more difficult than the wild man, she always has a little girl who can't grind away the caution, as if every conversation I come with the purpose of breaking her buds, sometimes I look at her more, she seems to eat me, I can't understand." “

Summer nodded, Werna was a stinky, hard girl, and he felt the same way.

In fact, this time it was indeed much faster, although the stationmaster of the wild man always had an expression like a dead mother throughout the whole process, but this did not affect the smooth signing of the contract.

When Summer asked the stationmaster to sign the last word, the stubborn stationmaster left the office like a mourner, and disappeared in front of Summer and the deputy stationmaster with a constipated face.

Dealing with honest people, probably the only thing you don't need to worry about is whether he will fulfill the content of the contract, Xia smiled, put away the contract, and followed the deputy stationmaster of Bolivar to meet the merchants of Hanting.

.......

The merchants of Hanting waited for a long time in an unnamed bar at Feishui Station, and they were also startled when they walked into the most secret box in this bar in the summer.

"The merchant has a black-hearted hoe," said Boliva, pointing to one of the skeletal men, "who specializes in the cultivation trade, and the other is Abu, who deals in smuggled medicines all year round, and if you are short of money, you can turn to him, he is familiar with the bank." ”

Summer shook hands with Blackheart, only to feel that his hands were hard and dry, as if they had perennial calluses, and the other Abu, the man with a hooked nose, had much fatter and smoother fingers.

"I'm Summer, a businessman from the Dawning Base," he said politely, "and it's an honor to meet both." ”

The skeleton man laughed twice, "You're welcome, Mr. Summer, we will definitely have Mr. Summer's attention in the future, and we don't have to be so angry......."

"Everyone is a friend, Mr. Summer doesn't have to be so polite," Poliva straightened his back, "I heard that you are going to the hall of the Liberty Middle School, it just so happens that I am very familiar with several principals there, do you need me to introduce you?" ”

"If you don't nag it, then you will be bothered," Xia picked up the red fruit wine on the table and took a sip, I have to admit that Han Ting does hide a lot of things, and Xia has no doubt that they have their own underground base and above-ground base. If they knew they had a high-precision radiation filter, Summer would never be stupid enough to think they weren't interested in it.

However, they may already be guessing something.

The synths once caught three or four sneaky spies who wanted to pass through the square station, and after three minutes of interstellar efficient torture by the synths, the tightest of them also made all moves. These people all claimed to be from the Feishui Station and the Aquarium, and their purpose was simple, to know everything about the base and then report it to the client.

He didn't doubt that those people would lie under the greeting of the interstellar torture method, but he suspected that these fools didn't even know who the people who hired him were.

However, there are only a few objects that can be speculated over and over, the merchants of Feishui Station, Red Square, the military station, or the Han Court, among which the Han Court is quite suspicious.

Even if he was very wary of the merchants of the Han Court Alliance, Xia had to understand that sometimes with their power, it would be much more convenient for him.

"In any case, without your help, I am afraid that I will be helpless, and it will be a regrettable end. Once again, I'm deeply grateful for your help in persuading the stationmaster of Noo," Summer said in a boring official tone, "I'll take this to heart, both of you." “

Poliva chuckled, "Stationmaster Wild is a decent man with a lot of honor, and he can't understand that it's not a good thing to be too brainy, but there is a little good, but if he signs a contract, the Fat Water Station will never tear it up." ”

Is it really that strong to nod a person with a hand? Summer didn't know what Noo thought, and he wouldn't even say a few words to himself. Summer only hoped that the man had better not be so stubbornly obstructive to him all the time, otherwise...... He doesn't want to be stained with the blood of decent people, but the means of killing people without seeing blood, there are a lot of people who will make it out.

Summer thinks that he is soft-hearted and has the heart of a bodhisattva, but someone is willing to do something good for him, as long as he can't see it, he will naturally not refuse.

After that, they chatted a little more, about the amount of food in the future, and the price of transportation.

Seeing that another hour had passed, the bored summer stood up, "Station Master Poliva," Summer doesn't want to delay too long, "I want to go to the hall of the Liberty Middle School now." ”

"Since Mr. Xia has asked for it, then we will set off later."

They said goodbye to the merchants of the Han Court and walked silently past the crowd. All eyes were on Poliva, and occasionally someone whispered about the young people around him.

One old man thought he was the one who brought the food, as the old man himself was a transport soldier, but the others had their own rumors. Some people say that he is just a businessman, some people think that this young man is closely related to other forces, and more people think that he is just an ordinary person who has something to do with Poliva, with a good appearance and a gentle smile, and that's it.

This is a good sign, people are always more wary of wolves than sheep, and they look at him as if they were looking at a kitten, smiling and handsome.

"Stationmaster Poliva, they look up to you." Summer complimented, "I've rarely seen Noo stationmaster so high-profile." ”

"It's been a blessing for Mr. Summer," he said, without the slightest humility on his face.

"It's hypocritical to be too modest," Summer smiled lightly, "Stationmaster Wild is too rigid, and he is too pushy a lot of the time, and in the position of stationmaster, people think that Feishui Station needs a wise person like Poliva to be at the helm, does Poliva think that what I said is wrong?" ”

"Praise," Poliva's mouth curled higher, "Mr. Summer, don't kill me, I can't stand it, I can't stand it........ However, the position of webmaster ......."......

They soon laughed and boarded the rail rickshaw that led to the hall of Liberty High School, a tram with an unusually luxurious interior hidden by a half-hidden curtain, which looked pretty good.

In the summer, I traveled to the tunnel outside of Hisui Station for the first time, so I was very careful about it. However, he is not afraid to get lost, and the synth will keep a record of every terrain in the area, and if necessary, he can call up a topographic map of the vicinity at any time.

In addition to the deputy head of the Feishui Station, there were two trade merchants under his management (not the two merchants from the Han Court), and ten soldiers. Either way, Poliva and Noo weren't going to let the young merchant who was tied to the future of the station go alone, and if he died, God knows if the base called Aurora would continue to trade with each other.

Poliva sat on the left side of the tin and aluminum wrapped tram, directly opposite a transport merchant from the Feishui station, a food merchant on the right, two old coachmen pedaling the car outside, and a light tram behind it crowded with ten soldiers.

In the middle of them was a fixed small table with a small silver-white saucer containing a square ceramic wine bottle and several small glasses, which were undoubtedly luxuries in this tunnel.

Outside the window, dirty water pipes and peeled wires intertwine in the tunnel, stretching parallel to the railroad tracks, like gray snakes in the dark, and there are occasional sporadic walkers along the stone side of the tracks, either small merchants carrying their burdens to the Feishui station, some are adventurous travelers, and more are workers who walk between the stations on foot, such as the agricultural market station and the feed mill station near the Feishui station, where there are many underground plantations and breeding farms, most of which need workers from the surrounding area.

Since the destruction of the trade route from Feishui Station to Aquarium Station, many residents who have nowhere to earn a living have been looking for work there.

The smell of the agricultural market station made people almost vomit, and Summer frowned, but there was no indication of it.

"Mr. Summer, drink a glass of wine, alcohol can numb our sense of smell, it will be a little better."

"Polite," said Summer, who had kindly taken the fruit wine from Poliva, and took a sip, indeed, the rich smell of alcohol made his churning stomach a little better. Poliva poured him another glass.

The rolling wheels suddenly made a creaking sound, and Summer only felt the body shake suddenly, and the wine spilled half of his body, and he had to hold on to the wine glass, and soon there was the creaking of the wheels running over the mud, and a violent shaking. When he was at peace, Poliva filled him with fruit wine, and was very courteous.

"The Agricultural Market Station is a pig farm in the vicinity, and people here often deal with pigs, pig, pig urine, and mushrooms, that's all there is here, and we're walking on the infamous pig boulevard in this neighborhood. ”

Poliva suddenly interjected, "Mr. Summer, I don't know if you have heard the story here, I heard that people here will vent on pigs, and there are even people who are born with freaks of pigs and people. ”

"That's terrible," said Summer, licking his moist and dry tongue, which made him thirsty even more, and he feigned horror, "that anyone can be so hungry and thirsty that a beast can become pregnant." In fact, he didn't believe that reproductive isolation was so easy to cross? However, it occurred to him that this was a deformed world, and that the creatures that had been radiated might be able to cross this reproductive boundary. For a while, he didn't dare to say anything casually.

"It's no wonder they're here, it's arguably the most disgusting place in the entire subway, and some women who don't work here will inevitably get the smell of pig manure when they come out, not to mention the locals who work here all year round."

Another transport merchant readily agreed, "Even the maids don't want to earn ammunition here, and many people's houses are built almost on pig dung, so you can imagine how tired the people from outside are here, but we don't have to walk through here, and lo and behold, there is a fork in the road ahead." ”

Summer did find a passage that was not wide, perhaps freshly dug out, surrounded by freshly fallen dirt, and countless steel bars and logs built on each other with rusty copper-red iron fasteners, and on both sides of the tunnel were damp planks and cracked aluminium sheets.

Luckily, there are rails too, so they don't need to get off.

"Mr. Summer, I heard that you are from a base on the outskirts of the ground to hide from nuclear bombs?"

Summer nodded.

"It must have been a shocking place to think about," Poliva admired, "and we all thought there were no living people on the ground. ”

The transport merchant has his own perception of this, "Those stupid stalkers have already given us the most profound answer, please forgive me for being so straightforward, I saw a fool go to the surface, and in only one year, he was not like a human being, and after two years, he died, miserable, like a skinned skinny monkey." ”

"Did he find anything?"

"Of course," the transport merchant shook his head, "he found death, and he fell incorrigibly in love with it and embraced it, that's how stalkers like to embrace it." So my dear brother Stalker left me two helpless sons, oh, he's my own brother, a big self-righteous fool. ”

"It's a pity."

Polya suddenly leaned over, "Mr. Summer, I'...... Well, I don't know if I can ask one more question. ”

Summer nodded.

"You dawn, I'm really curious, can you really be on the ground for a long time, I heard the stalker say that the ground is full of highly toxic radioactive materials, you ......." he hesitated, "how do you move on the ground?" ”

"We have a lot of anti-radiation suits in our air defense base, and that base was formerly a shelter laboratory, which has a lot of supporting facilities, where we can grow the food we need, and there is plenty of water and electricity, and it is in the suburbs, and it has not been directly hit by nuclear bombs," Xia said seriously, "so we survived, until recently, our laboratory was a little malfunctional, and people came out of the ground, and at that time the radiation value on the ground had been greatly reduced, and you know, it was a suburb." , the nuclear bomb did not hit that land directly. ”

Lies, most of them are lies, Poliva kept shouting in his heart, the stalkers also have radiation suits, and some of them even have the most advanced anti-radiation equipment and drugs in the military station, but they have never been able to resist highly toxic substances, no matter which suburb in the vicinity. The radiation in those fruits was close to zero compared to what they had retrieved from the ground.

"Luckily, I thought the radiation was the same everywhere," Poliva said sincerely, "and it looks like we, the old guys who are hiding underground, will hopefully return to the surface, and maybe when our generation is old, the people of the underground station will be able to live on the ground, and I haven't really been to the surface since I was sensible." ”

"There will be a chance," Summer suggested sincerely, "and the base has been tested for decades, and the radiation levels are much lower than before, and a friend of mine decided that in another ten years or so, the damage to the human body from radiation in the suburbs will be negligible, and by that time, we will be able to live on the ground without masks." ”

"I hope so."

"You're going to love that time," Summer Firm ...... "Everyone is welcome at our base, and besides, the sun star is indeed beautiful, the most beautiful thing in the world." ”

Bolivar agreed, and he sang a hymn to the sunstar, which was a thief, but he smiled happily in the summer.
