Just when Jin was completely unable to communicate with the person in front of him, the door of the room was knocked open again by several old men who claimed to be scientists. The leader was still the one with red eyes and shouted, "What do you want? What do you want?" "
Jin seemed to have enough experience in dealing with them, and immediately handed over Akiyu's list of needs to them. **Bubble! Book. *This is a very strange situation. In this post-apocalyptic world where communication between the original countries must have been lost, several old blond men were sweating while staring at the list written by Qiu Yu in Chinese characters. The reason for sweating is not that they cannot understand Chinese characters, but that after they understand them, they find that they cannot meet the above requirements.
"Can you exchange for something else?" The old man at the head said what Jin had just said. However, he did not offer to help Qiu Yu find his lost companions like Jin. Instead, he reported everything he thought was valuable in the settlement to Qiu Yu one by one.
Jin broke into a cold sweat when he heard the old man's behavior that completely revealed his family background. He was afraid that Qiu Yu would be greedy and bring a bunch of people to massacre this settlement. But because he owed Qiu Yu a huge favor just now, and the scientist who entered a crazy state cannot be stopped by himself. So all he could do was wipe the sweat away.
Qiu Yu had no interest in what the old man reported. Their so-called treasures were all trash 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 and 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.
When Qiu Yu saw the cruel look in the old man's eyes that could only be seen when killing people, he quickly said, "My computer isn't worth much. What do you want with so many good things? I don't bring many things."
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 in exchange for a discounted price. Anyway, this is what I want to give them, so just give them a step and change them to something casually.
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 him, who didn't even know how to take advantage of the bargain offered to him, was more like a traditional scientist.
"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. The reward for collecting 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 to people like Jin who were worried about Qiu Yu's intentions, the fact that he could retain important supplies made the old man instantly regard Qiu Yu as a shrewd businessman with an excellent vision for science. "Five years, No, in three years you'll be rewarded with something that will drive you crazy."
Before Qiu Yu could say anything else, the 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 fate. I would not be so generous in other places."
Under Jin's puzzled gaze, Qiu Yu took two engineering shovels, a medical kit, a set of electrical tools and other items out of the bag one by one and placed them on the table beside him. The huge package was therefore nearly half smaller than the original size. Even so, Qiu Yu still thought the package was a bit big. The only things left inside are some necessary tools for survival in this world, as well as food and water. I have no plans to eat rat meat and 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, if not then 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, Qiuyu 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 his 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 here, so he is familiar with both the road 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 was 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 contained food and water, which was enough for him to eat for at least seven or eight days. I don't know how much they eat and how fast they walk, but in general it seems that the so-called nearest settlement is not close enough to be easily reached.
Qiu Yu worriedly asked, "How far is that place?"
Jin gave a professional answer, "From the map, it's 130 kilometers."
130 kilometers is a bit far, but not unacceptable. But Jack's addition immediately made Qiu Yu feel dizzy.
"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 an information acquisition point. In such a world, with the help of communicators, it may be easy to find lost companions, but to find an alien landing pod that has been dropped somewhere is almost like finding 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 was 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 the thing 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 can 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. Each game was won decades apart. Although Qiu Yu was rigorous in doing things, he did think about coming to them in the next game to get some rewards, but he didn't actually 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 wanted to say that you will live longer than one day, but some strange emotions prevented him from saying it. A few days of your 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 time, he was clearly a wise elder, not just a silly old man who didn't understand the world. Qiu Yu even felt for a moment that he was deceived by the disguise in front of him.
"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. Whenever you see an organization with that symbol, you know it’s 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 you this small piece of coin, and don't let too many people know about it. Now... 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 you should be smart or careful."
"I want to hear you compliment me on how smart and careful I am."
Qiu Yu also dragged his big bag and walked back to another direction with the old man.
The two have talked and collaborated in the torrent of time, and even have partially similar dreams. But the lines of time and space that go in opposite directions prevent the two from intersecting from now on. This is the first person in this game who makes Qiu Yu realize a touch of cruelty, but he is 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.
