Chapter 19: The Antidote
Tuzhov's seizures were inexplicable, and no one knew what was going on.
After being silent for a while, Tuzov became more and more irritable, "Since you don't speak, get out of here!" ”
Some people around saw that something was going on here, and they actually wanted to come around to see the excitement, but they were driven away by the guards soldiers.
The eyes of the scavengers once again focused on Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei pursed his lips helplessly, and then spread his hands: You can't just let me speak alone, right?
If it weren't for the last resort, he really didn't like to be in the limelight, wouldn't it be good to entertain himself at home?
The short man was in a hurry, "Xiaoqu, we have taken care of your business, why don't you help talk?" ”
Seeing this, Tuzhov directly pulled out the laser gun, and without saying a word, pulled the trigger.
On the short man's forehead, a hole the size of a wine glass instantly appeared.
With an expression of disbelief on his face, he slowly fell to the ground.
He really couldn't figure out why he was still shot after he had been injected with poison and had been controlled.
If you really want me to die, won't it be over if you don't give me the antidote?
Tuzhov snorted coldly, "Who gave you the guts not to take me in your eyes?" ”
He didn't intend to relieve Qu Jianlei, but mainly wanted to make an example of the chickens.
If I didn't promise you to give you an antidote, I must have this obligation.
Seeing this, the dirty woman spoke up decisively, "Master Tu, we will increase our efforts to inquire, please give us a chance." ”
Tuzuofu glanced at her and snorted coldly, "It's not a fool, it's a woman...... Is the man in the scavenger dead? ”
"My lord," another man said, "we've been trying to find it, but the mine is really too big. ”
Tuzov's one-eyed eyes narrowed, and he spoke gloomily, "You want to say...... You can't do it? ”
"No," the man hurriedly shook his head, "This will take time, please know it." ”
A playful smile appeared on Tuzov's face, "How long is enough?" ”
"This ...... The villain did not dare to say," replied the man respectfully, "and things may not necessarily be in our mines. ”
Tuzuofu waved his hand and said lightly, "There must be a reason for choosing you......
"I'll give you the antidote this time, I'll also put the words here, if there is no news next time, someone will die!"
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and they finally determined that the other party killed people just to establish their authority.
Thinking about this, everyone has a faint helplessness and desolation in their hearts: in the wasteland, human life is really not valuable.
Tuzhov waved his hand, and one of the guards came out, took a box from his waist and opened it.
There are rows of small paper bags in the box, neatly arranged.
"Take one pack per person, and in five days, I hope you guys have good news."
He had just killed people, and the scavengers were as honest as sheep, and they didn't dare to think of anything else.
The dirty woman looked left and right, and found that no one moved, so she took the initiative to step forward and take away a packet of antidote, "Thank you, Lord Tu." ”
Seeing this, the others also stepped forward to take the medicine in the same way, and then thanked them.
Qu Jianlei was the last to get the antidote.
At this time, the dirty woman had already opened the paper bag and poured the brown medicine powder directly into her mouth.
The paper bag was not thrown away, but was carefully folded by her and solemnly placed in her arms.
When others saw it, they immediately understood it, and swallowed the antidote one by one.
Qu Jianlei was a little stunned, he could understand what these people were doing, but ...... Five days have not yet arrived.
If I take it in advance this time, if the time to get the antidote next time is postponed a little, will something happen?
Tuzhov shot and killed a man, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot, and then noticed his abnormality.
He actually smiled and asked, "Why, can't you understand the logic of their actions?" ”
"I can understand," Qu Jianlei replied honestly, "but I'm still a little confused." ”
If you really say you can't understand it, you're playing dumb! Tuzov nodded slightly, even animals know how to protect food.
So he commented, "The evil of human nature is not something you can imagine...... If you take it now, you can live for at least five days. ”
Qu Jianlei nodded blankly, but he was pondering in his mind: So, five days is just a general reference?
Among the survivors, there must also be individual differences, so ...... Sooner or later the time is not so precise?
Tuzuofu saw that this guy was in a daze again, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he casually handed over a small cloth bag, "This is the next five days." ”
Qu Jianlei came back to his senses, opened the cloth bag and took a look, it was indeed ten nutrients.
Then he smiled bitterly, "It's a shame." ”
It's just a chess move! Tuzhov glanced at him, "Your antidote, don't worry about being robbed?" ”
Qu Jianlei reacted at this time, opened the paper bag and swallowed the antidote, and put the paper bag away casually.
Tuzov reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm actually fully armed, but I have some ability." ”
After saying this, he turned around and left, and the other members of the Guards followed suit, without any superfluous words.
Qu Jianlei's gaze wandered, while experiencing the impact of the antidote on his body, he was on guard against possible attacks.
This antidote really wasn't blown, and after taking it for less than five minutes, his whole body was filled with a faint warmth.
The pain of various tears that appeared faintly in the body was also reduced a lot in an instant.
And the effect of the drug is long-lasting enough, and after half an hour, it is still working.
The pain in his body was gone, and Qu Jianlei felt so comfortable that he felt that he could fly in the wind.
"No wonder Tuzov kills people......" he muttered thoughtfully.
If what he expected was correct, this so-called "antidote" is a rare medicine that is very good for the body.
Killing a person can at least save the next potion, killing people is just a means, and the goal is not so simple.
He was stunned here, and the others were similar, and everyone was immersed in the joy of repairing their bodies.
But after all, someone was more alert, and a burly man in full armor walked over.
The muscles on his face were still shaking involuntarily, but they were forcibly suppressed.
"Xiaoqu, this time it's over, what should I do next time?"
Qu Jianlei came back to his senses from his sluggishness, and he touched his forehead in distress, "I don't have a rut, let's take one step at a time." ”
The burly man's brows furrowed slightly, "They value you a lot, why don't you pick your head and discuss a rule?" ”
When someone next to him heard about it, he hurriedly echoed, "Yes, you can't die at such a moment's notice." ”
Let me pick the head? Qu Jianlei's eyebrows raised, and he slowly shook his head, "I don't have that ability." ”
"Others are even less capable!" The burly man spoke in a deep voice, "I, Collins, fully support you, come to me if you are not convinced!" ”
Collins is the top strength among the scavengers, he is ruthless and ruthless, and he has never bullied Qu Jianlei in the past.
It's not that he is upright, it's really that Qu Jianlei is so weak that he is not worth bullying.
Qu Jianlei pursed his lips speechlessly, you are afraid of death, am I not afraid?
However, he didn't want to explain, so he turned around and went to other shops.
Collins watched him leave, his brow furrowed slightly, and then looked at his peers not far away, "Don't you support it?" ”
Someone muttered softly, "It seems that when you go back, you have to have a good talk with Silly Qu...... Is this guy the illegitimate son of someone's family? ”
They really couldn't figure out how this fool could get such preferential treatment.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Collins' eyes, "Let's get into trouble...... Actually, it was to save him. ”
Qu Jianlei didn't know that there was such a thing behind him, it was the first time he came to the settlement, of course he had to open his eyes.
Here, he finally saw the legendary currency, the Hong Si coin.
This currency was issued by the Hongsi settlement itself, but to his surprise, it was actually stamped with silver.
In the Wasteland, silver is just an uncommon metal that isn't too valuable.
Silver has good electrical conductivity, but it is not used well in a good place, and there is no industry here.
In Qu Jianlei's hand, there was a small brand made of silver, which he got from the third master, and he didn't know the use.
So he reached out and asked the shopkeeper, "How many silver dollars is this worth?" ”
The shopkeeper was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, glanced at the sign, and replied quietly, "I can only change five silver horns." ”
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei put away the sign and left, not noticing the greed in the store's eyes.
Seeing him leave, the shopkeeper's brows furrowed slightly, "Secret Silver Medal...... How could this guy have such a thing? ”
At this moment, another person walked in outside the door, a strong man, "Second brother, who are you trying to calculate?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at him and lowered his voice, "Old Five, there was a secret silver medal on that product just now." ”
"Silver?" Old May Day came down and became interested, "Can you see the way?" ”
"I can't tell," the shopkeeper shook his head, "I offered five silver horns, and that guy didn't sell it." ”
"It's worth at least five silver dollars, and you're really black enough," the fifth laughed deliciously, "him?" ”
The shopkeeper bowed slightly, "Fresh face, it should be an uncommon wild man, and the equipment is not bad." ”
"What if the equipment isn't bad?" Lao Wu replied disapprerovingly, "Seven or eight people surround him, and he still dares to do it?" ”
"It's better to be careful," the shopkeeper said, "You go and check the number of that guy's roads first, don't be a trap." ”
In the wilderness of the wasteland, it is not uncommon to calculate and be calculated, and it is difficult to say whether the other party is fishing or not.
Not long after, the fifth brother came back, "Second brother, it's a group of foreign scavengers, and let the one-eyed wolf kill one." ”
"Scavengers...... That's what you got by chance? The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, "How many of his companions are there?" ”
In the vicinity of the garbage dump, the waste pickers are indeed not easy to mess with, but the elites of the Hongsi settlement are really not afraid of each other.
It's nothing more than black eating black, there is a mental calculation and no intention, who is afraid of whom?
Lao Wu's face darkened when he heard this, "It seems that there are more than forty and three cars." ”
"More than forty?" The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, "When did the scavengers become so united?" ”
Lao Wu spread his hands helplessly, "I heard that it has something to do with the one-eyed wolf...... The specifics are not very clear. ”
"That's a bit ......," the shopkeeper frowned in annoyance.
