The attitude of the businessman who had always completed the transaction coldly revealed some problems, but that was none of Lu Li's business——
Whatever the businessman is plotting behind his back, it has nothing to do with anyone still alive.
If they belong to the weird camp and plan to invade Hell, that's the best thing: spreading out to deal with the sinful devils and demons in Hell, the countdown to destruction may be delayed on the ground.
In the next few minutes, Lu Li told the merchant the information he knew about hell, such as the expanded terrain of the human world, the magma sea, the black disaster volcano, and the Great Rift Valley.
"5500 Investigation Point."
A small piece of information about hell is exchanged for a rich transaction, although it is not even a fraction of a cubic meter of deep sea stone.
And after the collapse of human society, the value of the investigation points will be reduced to the lowest...or not necessarily.
Lu Li suddenly thought about it and asked, "Do you sell food?"
"Only cans."
"Enough." It seems that the value of the investigation points has not become useless because the end is approaching.
A 0.7-pound can of canned pork and peas costs 5 survey points, and a box of 20 cans costs 100 survey points, which is equivalent to 1,000 shillings.
More than ten hours ago, Lu Li bought two boxes at the price of 20 shillings per can, which was more than doubled.
But you can also exchange survey points for valuable food, so what's there to complain about?
"Will it increase in price over time?" Lu Li asked before confirming the purchase quantity.
"Goods that are in short supply will become more expensive."
Lu Li looked at Remi and Jimmy. Remi waved her hand and replied, "Don't worry about us."
"Jimmy's body needs food."
"Ordinary food can only keep my brother the same but not restore him, and his appetite is too much." Remi said helplessly, and Jimmy beside her also made a grimace. "When necessary, we will go to the city to hunt for some low-level weirdos.
.”
Lu Li didn't say anything. He looked away and said to the businessman: "10 boxes of canned pork, 10 boxes of canned beef, and 5 boxes of canned fruit."
These, plus the few boxes of cans stored at the refuge, are enough for him to eat for three months. At the same time, the simple combination of the three cans can maintain his physical condition to the greatest extent and avoid lack of nutrition.
The price of canned fruit is the same as that of canned pork, while the price of canned beef is... 15 survey points. 25 boxes of canned food will be delivered in two days, for which Lu Li paid 4500 survey points.
He has 12,400 investigation points left to spend.
Next is the second piece of information Lu Li wants to know: the disaster that happened in Belfast last night only happened in Belfast... or it happened in many cities.
"50 investigation points."
It's still a cheap price, after all, Lu Li will know about it after a while.
"Can."
"Belfast on the Ellen Peninsula, Ellendine City on the Main Continent, Lelvison's Ice-Free City, and Beast Roar Town in the Wilderness."
It's slightly better than expected, but this is just the first wave of invasion.
Lu Li noticed that the city that was attacked was missing an area: "The Lennon Islands were not attacked?"
"No."
This news was exciting, but Lu Li thought of what the crazy man yelled on the steam train not long ago.
[They are driving us! Driving us together, just like we do with those cattle and sheep! They are imprisoned together and then killed!]
The connection is chilling, and Tesla’s response at the time was that “the Lennon Islands are people’s last hope.”
It is unknown whether Tesla had a metaphor when he said these words, but it can indeed be understood in another way at this moment: the Lennon Islands are people's last hope, spiritually.
Whether it can protect humans is not important. What is important is that people believe it can and therefore have hope.
And the situation in the Lennon Islands may not be worse than in other places. At least when everything is shrouded in clouds, no one will be spared. The refugees in the Lennon Islands may be able to die a less painful death.
"What's the situation with the Lennon Islands and the ships sailing there?" Lu Li asked. Calculating the time, the cruise ship Mary Poppins and Qiao Qiao were on should still be sailing on the sea.
The merchant did not ask for payment, and this was a bonus: "Anyone who goes to the Lennon Islands will arrive there safely, except for a few unfortunate people."
Lu Li's black eyes fell on his face, which was covered by a woven scarf.
Remy on the side blinked, and even she heard something.
The sheep scattered on the grassland are driven back to the sheepfold from which they cannot escape by a group of hungry beasts. Before all the sheep reach the sheepfold, the beasts will endure their hunger and not harm them. Only a few beasts who cannot control their desires will drag them.
Pick out some unlucky ones from the flock and eat them.
"Who are you?" Lu Li said.
The businessman's answer was a cold refusal: "Your investigation points are not enough to obtain information."
"Last question."
Lu Li wanted to ask something about the door.
Although the merchants are obviously not human beings, and the existence behind them is mysterious and treacherous. The "door" cannot infect them with curses. However, Lu Li does not intend to take risks. He simply summarizes that he is targeted by a strange and terrifying curse, which will appear from time to time to seduce them.
Observe it yourself.
"According to known intelligence, the first stage is hearing me, the second stage is seeing me, the third stage is encountering me, and now I am in the second stage."
After finishing speaking, Lu Li waited for the merchant's response.
After a few seconds, the merchant spoke: "If there is no other transaction content, it's time for me to leave. Your items will be delivered in two days."
The merchant's taboo-like response made Lu Li frown, "You don't know either? Are you still afraid of something?"
"What do you know and what do you fear?" the businessman asked.
Lu Li noticed something was wrong, thought of what Richard had said, and turned to look at Remi: "What just happened."
"You were looking at the businessman in a daze, and then he said he was leaving." After Remi finished speaking, she also felt strange.
Lu Li didn't seem to be in a daze.
An indescribable coldness suddenly enveloped Lu Li, which was far more oppressive than the approaching doomsday.
What Richard said is true, irrelevant people will tamper with and erase relevant memories. Except for him, no one else even has the ability to know the details of it.
The same goes for Jimmy's brother and sister, the businessman, and the investigator headquarters who never responded.
"Gate" is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Lu Li.
But what is its purpose?
What do the three stages of hearing you, seeing you, and touching you represent?
Are these three stages even real? That diary was also part of the conspiracy, there was never a previous victim, Lu Li was the only one?
What Lu Li couldn't understand was that Anna knew everything about the door, and Richard knew part of the information.
