Chapter 34: Ransom
"Shhhhhhhhh ”
Jin Ge stopped and whispered a reminder to everyone.
Chen Mu has been paying attention to the distance ahead, knowing that the destination ahead is the destination.
The reason why he chose to come here was to see if he could find supplies in the ecological planting area. The other two roads lead to the storage area and the residential area respectively, and after a long period of erosion, I am afraid that there is nothing of value left.
"Uncle, your martial arts are the highest here, so please go up and reconnoitre. Chen Mu said politely.
Cook didn't say anything, crossed Kingo, and tiptoed forward.
After a moment, he turned and came back: "There are many strange plants ahead, but I didn't find any danger, the glow is a kind of moss, it is estimated that it is a little radiation, but it is not a big problem." ”
The team continued to move forward, and after turning right, the front suddenly opened up to a strange glow-in-the-dark forest.
I don't know how many years these plants have grown, and what kind of mutations they have undergone to break the hull of the ark and form a whole plant kingdom here.
"There are no signs of mutant beast activity, not even ordinary beasts, and these plants on the periphery don't seem to be aggressive. "Cook's expression is very confident and should have a lot of experience in wild hunting.
Chen Mu nodded: "Then let's find out if there is anything to eat, Young Master Harley pay attention to the timer, send a signal in an hour, and then everyone will come back here to gather." ”
Everyone acted separately, but Harley and the fat man still followed Chen Mu, which can be regarded as the basic consciousness of being a hostage.
Chen Mu is also always on guard, although the combat effectiveness of Harley and the fat man is definitely not as good as Cook and Jingo, but they are not necessarily weaker than themselves, maybe they are stronger.
It's just that his previous performance frightened everyone, and the three parties restrained each other, which led to the current situation.
After the meeting time, everyone returned to the entrance one after another, and the harvest was really quite a lot, and a little sample of each fruit encountered was picked back.
Cook frowned and looked at Chen Mu: "These things are very different from the food outside, and I don't know if they are poisonous or not, so it's better to let your pigs eat some first." ”
The others didn't speak, but they all looked at it.
Chen Mu recognized several fruits, a bit like apples, durians, blueberries and the like, but there were big differences in body shape and color.
"Pippi, eat. He patted Pippi on the head.
Pippi was already hungry, if it hadn't been for Chen Mu's control just now and not letting it move, I was afraid that it would have rushed into the forest and eaten a lot.
"Beep-"
It threw itself into the pile of fruits, and it was like a whirlwind, and soon ate them all, and hummed unsatisfactorily.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that Pipsqueak showed no signs of poisoning, Cook and the others went to collect food with confidence, and then opened their bellies to eat wildly.
After eating and drinking, Cook looked at Jin Ge with a cold face: "Young village master, this can never be the headquarters of the leader, otherwise there will not be even the slightest trace of human activity, now how can we get out?"
Jin Ge was also impatient, and said in a rough voice: "Why do you keep holding me funny? Anyway, now that there is a stable source of food, why don't we just break up and go our separate ways, okay?"
"Hehe, go your own way, think beautifully!" Cook sneered: "Maybe you know the way out, but you deliberately want to leave us." ”
Jin Ge rolled his eyes wildly: "Damn, it's you who finds faults, and it's also you who doesn't let the gang go, so why don't you take us to find a way, so are you satisfied?"
Seeing that the two of them were going to tear apart endlessly, Chen Mu frowned and said: "Don't quarrel, it's hard to find a food source, everyone should work together to find a way to get out alive, and quarreling can't solve any problems." ”
Harley also chimed in: "Yes, there are only a few of us here, and helping each other in the same boat is the king's way, if you have any grievances, put them aside for the time being, and it's not too late to talk about them when you go out." ”
Cook's face was gloomy, he stared at Chen Mu and said, "Boy, then I'll tell you the truth, if you really want us to work together, let the hostages go first, which can be regarded as a sign of sincerity, otherwise I will always have a thorn in my heart!"
Jin Ge also coughed dryly at this time, nodded and said: "That's the truth, since everyone has to be in the same boat now, then naturally we have to play everyone's role, and resources must be shared as much as possible, we can't always be-"
"Okay, don't sing and harmonize, it's boring. Chen Mu squinted his eyes and said, "If you want me to release people, you can." But don't talk about any resource sharing, I don't have anything but Pippi. On the contrary, you have some emergency supplies on you.
So my conditions are very simple, I will release them, but you have to redeem them with things. Medicine, equipment, exercises, intelligence, everything, in short, you have to show enough sincerity, otherwise I don't mind if the fish dies!"
Cook suddenly sneered: "Do you think that if I join forces with the young master, you will have this chance to break the net?"
Swish!
As soon as Chen Mu stretched out his hand, he choked Harley and the fat man's necks.
Harley also subconsciously wanted to resist, but in the end he didn't dare to make a move. And the fat man didn't even mean to resist, he always looked like the walking dead from beginning to end.
"Uncle, of course I can't beat you two masters, but I still have the ability to tear up tickets. Chen Mu said without showing weakness: "Besides, you'd better think about it, maybe I'm conspiring with the second master to act?
The corners of Jin Ge's mouth twitched, but he still didn't say anything.
Cook's face was frighteningly dark, and it took him a long time to grit his teeth and say, "Okay, boy, you have a kind!"
Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders and asked with a smile: "Uncle, does this mean that you agree with my plan?"
"Ahem, I have something to say. Jin Ge rubbed his hands with a simple face: "But the master of Cook has no opinion, so of course I have no opinion." ”
"You-" Cook's nose was crooked, but in the end he endured: "Okay, this time Lao Tzu admits it!"
As he spoke, he took out a few things and threw them to Chen Mu: "Boy, at this price, I don't treat you as a fool, but don't take an inch inch, let people go!"
Chen Mu let go of Harley and the fat man, and when he caught the thing, it was three small bottles and a money bag, and there was a booklet without a cover.
He opened the purse and saw that it contained some silvery-white crystals the size of cherries.
This should be a silver carat, when he was in the nomadic village before, Chen Mu once saw Yang Haoyu collect this thing.
As for the bottle and the booklet, he guessed that it was medicine and exercises, but he didn't know what the specific medicines and exercises were, so he had to ask Cook.
"Ahem, uncle, I really don't have to inch in, but these things are not marked on them, can you please introduce them?"
