Chapter XXXVIII
For vampires, as long as there is light and water, they can live. It is precisely because of this that after the virus swept the world and the old world system collapsed and collapsed, human beings did not live as miserable as in some post-apocalyptic movies and novels. At the very least, they don't have to worry about food. This is also a blessing in misfortune!
But don't think that this is how vampires live more leisurely than humans in the old days. Indeed, in the eyes of the old people, light and water did not cost money. There is no need to run around for a living, vampires are probably as chic and enviable as the gods in their minds.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. The vampires of the old days really didn't have to work for a living. In those good days, there were some maverick vampires who simply wandered around the world like beggars. There are many wandering vampires who have traveled the world on foot.
However, since the vampire's existence was exposed, the race war began. Humans will do everything they can to destroy this monster that sucks their own blood. In the final period of the war, even forbidden weapons were used. Among them, nuclear weapons are included. This also caused the earth's sphere to be devastated, and even the water source was polluted. Thus, even on the surface, unpolluted potable water is only as valuable as food from the past.
Three floors of the dungeon, eleven districts, shelters. Although Wang Li is gone, the people who remain will continue to live. In this world, if you want to live, you can't live without water.
Today is a day to purchase water once a week. Lao Wang, the water delivery uncle, pushed his self-made trolley and led the water delivery team to the shelter.
Zhang Jie hurriedly glanced and found that there were only five buckets of water sent this time, so she couldn't help frowning slightly and asked, "Isn't it ten buckets every time?" Why is it only half this time? ”
"No way!" Lao Wang smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "The earl doesn't know what is crazy, and he has sealed the passages on the second and third floors. Those profiteers can't come down and do business, and we don't have a place to steal water. ”
Zhang Jie nodded and sighed slightly. She also knew that there were millions of residents in this dungeon, and a few dark rivers in the dungeon alone could not feed so many people.
As the saying goes, there is a need to buy and sell, and after someone in the earthly world discovered this phenomenon, they established a caravan. They regularly deliver clean water to the dungeons for huge profits.
"These are sixty crystal nuclei, so you don't need to look for more." Zhang Jie is not a person who does not know how to be flexible. A bucket of water costs ten crystal nuclei, and five barrels add up to fifty crystal nuclei. But Zhang Jie deliberately gave more ten crystal nuclei, in order to let these people who are in the water resources business take more care of them next time. After all, water is now in short supply, and we must try our best to fight for it.
"I'm sorry." However, Lao Wang smiled wryly and did not take the money bag in Zhang Jie's hand. "I forgot to tell you that the price of water has gone up. Now it's 30 pieces in a barrel! ”
"So much?" Zhang Jie was taken aback.
"That's how it goes." Lao Wang's eyes were full of helplessness. "Those profiteers don't send water down, and our stock is sold a little less. Water is the source of life, and even if the price skyrockets, it will be in short supply. ”
"Okay." Zhang Jie thought for a moment and paid one hundred and fifty coins of water. In the end, she stuffed Lao Wang and the others with ten crystal nuclei each.
"Okay, then Director Zhang, you will be busy first. The brothers still had work on hand, so they left first. After getting the benefit, Lao Wang and a group of water delivery workers under him suddenly smiled and said goodbye happily.
Looking at the five large buckets filled with water in the yard, Zhang Jie's eyebrows couldn't help but climb a trace of sadness. Involuntarily, she remembered the little guy who had just walked out of here.
Now, the entire third floor knows that Count Han Ji, the uncrowned king of the dungeon, will do whatever it takes to find Wang Li. Even the passages on the second and third floors were forcibly blocked.
"Obasan!" Suddenly, a little silver-haired little Lori who seemed to be an elf jumped up and down. She seemed to be angry, and Sakura's little mouth pursed cutely.
"Bai Min, you little ghost!" Zhang Jie's face was gloomy, and he glared at the little girl angrily. "That's what you call your master?"
"What master!" Bai Min snorted, and Hao did not hide his dissatisfaction in a pair of big eyes. "If I were you, I'd beat all those bastards who dared to bully Big Brother away!"
"You're still young." Zhang Jie's expression was complicated, and she gently touched Bai Min's little head. "There are some things I don't understand!"
"Humph! Coward! Bai Min didn't appreciate it at all, shook his head and broke away from Zhang Jie's hand, and ran away in a huff.
Zhang Jie was not annoyed, smiled slightly, and beckoned the staff in the office to start arranging the five buckets of newly arrived water. In the coming period, water may become increasingly scarce and must be carefully calculated.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Wang Li didn't know that the entire third layer was in turmoil because of his relationship. At this time, he was yawning long and stretching.
After ten days, I finally had a good night's sleep. He only felt refreshed, and his whole body was full of inexhaustible energy. Taking advantage of this momentum, Wang Li immediately shouted: "Administrator, simple level trial!" ”
"Okay."
Suddenly, five familiar silver-white robots appeared in the metal hall. Their faces, which had no facial features and were like masks, stared at Wang Li with their brushes, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
"Come, let's do it quickly!"
Wang Li took a deep breath, raised his giant sword, and defiantly compared his index finger to the five robots.
I don't know if Atlantis really made these robots to have feelings, or if they simply took Wang Li's provocation as an invitation to fight. All in all, these five robots moved at the same time at the moment when Wang Libi was referring to his fingers!
Five robots, like five teammates who cooperate tacitly. They didn't even need to talk, so they immediately unfolded a suitable formation.
They either outflank left and right, or charge head-on, or intercept from behind...... In the blink of an eye, Wang Li was besieged by five people in the middle.
Wang Li slowly picked up his sword and glanced back and forth at the five robots, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
These five robots seemed to be simply besieging Wang Li. But in the game, he knows that things are far from so simple.
In Wang Li's view, the position of each of these five robots is like a corner of a five-pointed star. He had an indescribable feeling that no matter which robot he was trying to, he would have to face three robots at the same time.
At that time, Wang Li once reached a stalemate with the three robots. The remaining two robots will attack him from behind. At that time, Wang Li was really in danger!
