Just when Jin was completely unable to communicate with the person in front of him, the door to the room was knocked open again by several old men who claimed to be scientists. The leader was still the one who just shouted with red eyes, "What do you want? What do you want?"
"
Jin seemed to have enough experience in dealing with them, and immediately handed them the list of Qiu Yu's needs. This was a very strange situation. In this apocalyptic world where communication between the original countries must have been lost, several blond old men stared at
Akiyu sweated while writing the list in Chinese characters. The reason for sweating was not that they couldn't understand the Chinese characters, but that after they understood it, they found that they could not meet the above requirements.
"Can you exchange for other things?" The old man in charge said what Jin had just said. However, he did not offer to help Qiu Yu find his lost companions like Jin did. Instead, he gave anything in the settlement that he thought was valuable.
One after another, full reports were given to Qiu Yu.
Jin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the old man's behavior that revealed his family's wealth. He was afraid that it would arouse Qiu Yu's greed and bring a group of people to slaughter the settlement. But because he just owed Qiu Yu a day,
A big favor, plus the fact that the scientist entering a crazy state cannot be stopped by himself. So all he can do is keep wiping his sweat.
Qiu Yu had no interest in what the old man reported. Their so-called treasures were just rubbish in the real world of 2012.
Things that others regard as more precious than life are like rubbish in front of him - this is such a classic YY plot, but Qiu Yu doesn't feel the superiority or superiority at all, but only feels so heavy that he can't breathe.
It was as if the old man in front of him was a street boy who was willing to give up his daily ration of dry steamed buns in exchange for a primary school textbook... These needs should belong to them.
As the old man reported the items slower and slower, Qiu Yu knew that those items would have a significant impact on them after being lost, but Qiu Yu still just listened with an expressionless face, not intending to torture them.
Rather, you must understand what is most important to mankind in this era, and what level of technology this settlement has reached.
"...two barrels of gasoline...a radio, which is good. I even received a broadcast from the radio half a month ago...a set of wind turbines."
This is the last thing the old man can come up with.
Seeing the ruthlessness in the old man's eyes that only appeared when killing people, Qiu Yu quickly said, "My computer isn't worth much. What do you want with so many good things? I don't have many things with me."
Qiu Yu was not afraid that the old man wanted to kill him, but he was afraid that the old man would cut off his flesh and exchange it at a discount. Anyway, it was what he wanted to give them, so he could just give it a step and exchange it for anything.
The old man shouted excitedly, "Your computer is indeed not worth much, but the content inside is worth the entire future of mankind."
Qiu Yu, "..."
In Qiuyu's memory, the daily work of those who are called scientists in the real world is to run around in various activities on radio stations, TV stations, the Internet, and schools. Therefore, the adaptability they have developed is far beyond their professionalism.
The old man in front of me, who doesn't know how to bite even when offered a bargain, is more like a scientist who only exists in traditional literature.
"I'm not interested in thinking about my future as a human being. I only care about whether my pocket is big enough." Qiu Yu had no choice but to continue playing the role of an investor. "I searched several places but no one cared enough about what was in it. They and
I also prefer visible and tangible benefits. So you are probably the only ones who think the things inside are good. Maybe I will give these things to you as an investment, and I will come back when I can really come up with something good.
To be paid for something worth the entire future of humanity.”
"Of course. What do those idiots know? Only science can lead mankind out of the current predicament." The old man moved his hands and feet excitedly like a dance. Compared with people like Jin who are worried about Qiu Yu's plans, he can just keep important supplies.
This made the old man instantly regard Qiu Yu as a shrewd businessman with an excellent vision for science. "In five years, no, three years later, you will get something in return that will drive you crazy."
Before Qiu Yu could say anything else, these old men ran out cheering like prisoners who had been locked up for a long time and finally got a chance to escape.
"This doesn't seem good." Jin said hesitantly, "I can understand a businessman's investment, but your investment is too much. If this continues, you may not be able to support yourself."
"That's because your settlement has been favored by fate, and I just followed the arrangement of fate. I would not be so generous in other places."
Under Jin's puzzled gaze, Qiu Yu took out two engineering shovels, a medical kit, a set of electrical tools and other items from the bag one by one, and placed them on the table aside. The huge package was therefore larger than before.
Nearly half of it was missing. Even so, Qiu Yu still felt that the bag was a bit big. But what was left in it were some necessary tools for survival in this world, as well as food and water. He had no plans to eat rat meat or drink smelly water yet.
Qiu Yu pointed to a pile of miscellaneous items on the table, "Since I have already invested, I will give these to you as well, but I have a condition."
Jin's eyes were already a little dull, and he subconsciously asked, "What are the conditions?"
"I need someone to take me to other large settlements, and if not, at least to the nearest settlement first."
"You want to leave? When?"
"Just now."
The value that he can play here is almost the same. Even if he spends more time to help develop this place, he will have nothing if he loses the game. Therefore, between doing his best and going all out, Qiu Yu can only choose the former.
Development is what they have to do in this game, and winning the game is what they must do. Time is much more precious to them than to them.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Knowing that the person in front of him had a difference that he could feel but could not organize in words, Jin stopped talking and used actions to demonstrate the decisiveness necessary for the end of the world.
Three minutes later, two people stood in front of Qiu Yu.
"You two?"
Standing in front of Qiu Yu were actually Jack and Cullen.
Afraid that Qiu Yu might misunderstand that he had chosen two people with little combat experience, Jin quickly explained, "The nearest settlement here is a large settlement derived from the shelter in the city. Jack was originally from there, and he was in our
He joined on the way to move here, so he is familiar with both the roads and the place, and should be able to provide you with a lot of help. As for Coulomb, he is Jack's partner and eyes, and he has excellent vision no matter day or night. In addition, he is Jack's partner and eyes.
…”
"Besides, we all have this guy." Coulun raised the Charger in his hand, "These two guns alone are worth five or six professional hunters with backward weapons."
Qiu Yu nodded and looked at the bulging bags on their backs, "Have you packed all your things so quickly?"
"There's nothing to bring." Jack patted the bag on his back with his backhand. "It's all filled with food and water exchanged for the things we just got. If nothing goes wrong, it's enough for a round trip."
Qiu Yu's eyes twitched. Looking at the size of their bags, not to mention all of them, even half of them were filled with food and water, which was enough for him to eat for at least seven or eight days. He didn't know how much they ate and how fast they walked.
But in general, it seems that the so-called nearest settlements are not close enough to be easily reached.
Qiu Yu worriedly asked, "How far is that place?"
Jin gave a professional answer, "Looking at the map, it's 130 kilometers."
130 kilometers is a bit far, but not to an unacceptable level. But Jack's supplement immediately made Qiu Yu's head feel as big as a bucket.
"Don't talk about the distance on the map. We can't fly. We have to go around several homeless territories and areas with dense mutant animals along the way, so the distance is much farther than the distance on the map."
"Well, I hope this is a pleasant journey." Under Jin's strange and surprised eyes, Qiu Yu easily dragged the big bag with unfolded wheels...
In the eyes of others, the next settlement is Qiu Yu's destination, but to Qiu Yu, it is just a point for obtaining information. In such a world, with the help of communicators, it may be possible to find the lost companions.
It's easy, but to find an alien landing pod that has fallen somewhere, it's almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. But now I can only fish it out bit by bit, so I have no time to waste. After everything is confirmed
, Qiu Yu set off immediately.
After sending the three of them out of the trap-filled entrance, King Kong was about to turn around and leave when he saw an old man in a white coat running over panting.
"Why are you walking so fast? I'll give you this."
After the old man handed the things in his hand to Qiu Yu, he turned around and went back.
"Wait, what is this?"
Qiu Yu took what he handed over and looked at it. It was half a coin with an earth pattern.
The old man explained impatiently, "This is proof of doing business with you. In the future, whether it is you or anyone else, as long as you come to us with this half-quick coin and match it with the half-quick coin in our hand, we will
We will pay you as promised."
The old man doesn't seem to be very understanding of the world, but he is not a fool, and judging from his serious attitude, he seems to really intend to repay Qiu Yu one day in the future.
The torrent of time can erase everything that exists and will exist. Every game is won after decades. Although Qiu Yu is rigorous in doing things, he really thought about coming to them to get some in the next game.
In return, I actually didn’t have much expectations.
But now, looking at the old man's eyes that were eager to go back and gain knowledge, but also with a firm and serious expression, Qiu Yu held the half coin in his hand with great care, "Maybe my departure will be
Quite a long time, as long as..."
Qiu Yu wants to say that you will live longer than one day, but some strange emotions prevent him from saying it. A few days of his own time may be their whole life...
"As a scientist, keeping your promise is the most important quality. Even if we are all dead, I will let the people born in this settlement continue to abide by it."
At this moment, he was no longer a foolish old man who was ignorant of the world, but he was clearly a wise elder. Qiu Yu even felt for a moment that he had been deceived by his previous disguise.
"Haha." Qiu Yu smiled happily, "But the time may really be long until you are all dead, and then your descendants will have moved elsewhere. How can I possibly find you."
"This..." The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took out the other half of the coin in his hand, "Some powerful organizations and settlements have their own symbols. From now on, we will use the half of the coin in my hand here.
The coin is the symbol. As long as you see an organization with such a symbol, you can know that it is us."
"Then let's add another layer of insurance."
Qiu Yu pulled out a dagger with a faint blue color from his shoe. Under the gaze of eight eyes that almost bulged out of his eye sockets, he easily cut off a corner from the coin in his hand and handed it to the old man's hand.
"I hope that everyone who comes from you in the future will know that someone will bring the other half of the coin opposite your symbol to ask for reward. I will also give this small piece of coin to you, and don't let too many people know about it.
Oh... what really matches your coin is not half a dollar, but the two-fifths of a dollar in my hand."
The old man picked up the small piece of coin without hesitation and walked back, "I don't know whether I should call you smart or careful."
"I want to hear you praise me for being smart and careful."
Qiu Yu also dragged his big bag and walked back to another direction with the old man.
The two people have talked and cooperated in the torrent of time, and even have partially similar dreams. However, the diverging lines of time and space have made the two people never intersect since then. This is the first time in this game that Qiu...
Yu realized that he was a cruel person, but he was not the last one...
Jack and Coulun clenched their weapons, one after the other with Qiu Yu in the middle, and began this journey that was far more difficult than they imagined.
