Two turquoise twisted rays scanned back and forth all over the body, like water waves rippling on the body.
After a long time, the rays were recovered and the scan was completed. There was a crisp sound of "beep", the iron door opened automatically, and the deep and cold voice of the intelligent system immediately sounded in the room: "No. 4033, certification passed."
This person named No. 4033 looked like he had rolled in the mud, and his true appearance was completely lost. But judging from his thin and frail body, he was basically a boy in his teens.
However, Wade didn't care at all whether it was a child or an adult. What he cared about was the tattered baggage that the child held tightly to his chest.
The baggage is made of very rough original leather, and now its appearance is covered with dirt. Baggage exchange centers like this handle thousands of them every day, and each one is related to the livelihood of these "children" on this day.
, it is also related to Vader’s daily exchange income.
Soon, the child stepped forward and put the bundle on the workbench, shaking it open. A bunch of small black stones fell out, which looked like stones, but actually had a faint dark golden color.
The appraiser did not hesitate and immediately put on his low-light glasses. Waves of light waves appeared on the lenses and scanned the stones. The crystal light plate screen on the wall presented the results in front of his eyes in just a few seconds:
Material: dark gold sand;
Quantity: 23g;
Purity: 36%;
Redemption value: 78 points;
…
Wade nodded, and the subtitles on the screen changed again:
Nutritional mixture: 50 points;
Healing Mixture: 125 points;
Blood Mixture: 300 points;
Steel mixture: 500 points;
…
Looking at the rows of prices, the child's face also changed, and he hissed: "The nutrient solution was only 24 points a bottle yesterday, why is it 50 points today?"
If according to yesterday's price, his income of 78 points can be exchanged for 3 nutritional mixtures, then he will not go hungry tonight, tomorrow morning, and tomorrow afternoon. When he works for another day and finds gold sand tomorrow, he will be alive again.
There is no hope of going down.
But if according to today's market conditions, it would be impossible for him to survive until this time tomorrow with the only nutritional mixture he could get.
Faced with the child's almost roaring expression, Wade was a little annoyed, but he still explained calmly: "Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. The market changes every day. This is a rule, and you should understand it."
The child stood there for a long time, then with a roar he took back all the dark gold stones on the workbench, and walked back towards the door angrily: "I won't change them anymore."
This behavior made Vader extremely angry, but he still did not have an attack. The exchange center also had rules of the exchange center: forced labor was prohibited from trading, and the use of force was prohibited in the center.
Wade slowly sat back on the sofa, lit a cigarette with a gloomy expression, and reached out to press a button on the sofa. He believed that his subordinates outside could understand what he meant through the signal.
Outside the iron gate is a completely different world: the square is bustling with people, and at first glance there are dense crowds of people, most of whom are workers returning from all directions in the mining area. Everyone is holding the leather baggage on their chest tightly.
It's just that these people can't be called human at all from the appearance. Most of them are in rags and covered with dirt, and some of them don't even have any clothes. They just stand naked in the queue, stretching their necks and looking forward anxiously.
, everyone is looking forward to their turn to go in as soon as possible.
It is already evening now, and the sky is getting dark. If you exchange the nutrient solution earlier, you can get through the night earlier.
When the child came out, Ding Meng was also waiting in the crowd, but he was not in a hurry because he had already seen the heavily armed mercenary Sadler quietly putting his hand on his belt on the steps above the iron gate...
Facing this hidden move, Ding Meng seemed very calm. He knew that it was easy to enter the center's gate, but difficult to get out. If you don't act according to their will, these mercenaries will never give you good luck.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a long black whip flew out from Sadler's waist like a poisonous snake, and rushed towards the child's back with a sharp whistling sound.
The child seemed to feel something strange behind him, but just as he turned around, the whip struck his hand as if it had eyes.
Ding Meng could see clearly that this whip was not only fast but also extremely accurate. The child could not even feel the pain. The blood was already splashing and the white bones of the finger joints were exposed.
Sadler's wrist flicked again, and before the bundle even fell to the ground, the leather whip swept it to pieces. The dark gold stones inside poured out and scattered on the ground. Looking under the dark night, the stones looked like
It's like real gold, exuding little bits of golden light.
Although this process was completed in the blink of an eye only three times, it was like a fuse that ignited the temporarily surprised crowd.
The surrounding workers immediately rushed toward the stars on the ground like a tide. They had no other reason to do anything but grab more of other people's trophies and increase their own hope of survival as much as possible. No one cared whether the victim was a child or not.
, and no one cares whether the child is dead or alive.
This place is like this. As long as you can survive, anything can happen and anything can be done.
Ding Meng sighed softly. He neither rushed into the crowd to participate in the robbery, nor paid attention to the condition of the injured child. The crowd around him was like crazy beasts, scratching and scratching on the ground desperately.
, for fear of missing any small piece of Dark Gold Stone.
So he took advantage of the chaos in the crowd and walked quickly to the front of the team. Sadler on the steps had already calmly put away his whip and was staring at him coldly, saying sternly: "Next.
"
Ding Meng hugged his baggage tightly and stood quickly in front of the iron door. Two probes immediately emerged from above the iron door. The green rays quickly descended and were twisted like electric currents throughout his body.
"Ripples.
This feeling made Ding Meng very uncomfortable, especially when the ray passed over his exposed skin. He felt that goosebumps were rising all over his body. Although his skin was ice cold, the heat in his body suddenly rose, and his chest felt like
There was a ball of extremely hot flames that almost came out of his body, making his eyes dazzled, and he staggered and almost lost his balance.
Recently, the frequency of this abnormal feeling has become more and more frequent. He has been wondering if he is suffering from some kind of disease? After all, in order to survive in this place, illness is not only commonplace, but also basically waiting to die after getting sick, because most workers are waiting for death every day.
The harvest can only be barely exchanged for nutrient solution, and the high price of the healing mixture is daunting...
In his thoughts, the ray suddenly recovered, and the crisp sound of "beep" woke Ding Meng up. The iron door had been opened, and the voice of the intelligent system also sounded: "No. 8028, certification passed."
Ding Meng stopped thinking and strode in. This was his 42nd day in this place.
