Chapter 446 The Town's Affairs
Han Wanghuo carried the paper bag and returned to the rental house in the green olive area with Zeng Duo.
"I'm almost ready." He nodded to Zeng Duo, who was short, thin, and sickly, "Only the last two things are left."
"I know, thank you for your hard work." Zeng Duo, who had short hair and wheat-colored skin, took the paper bag in Han Wanghuo's hand, "I'll cook."
Han Wanghuo was silent for a moment and said:
"You don't need this, you are not my servant."
Zeng Duo looked down at the brown toe shoes on his feet, and said calmly:
"My demands are indeed more excessive than what you get, and I want to make up for you as much as possible while I am alive."
Her request for the heart of the deal is to "save a small town."
That town is called "Chuchun Town", and it is a gray settlement.
Compared with most places, the products around Chuchun Town are quite rich enough to feed those residents, the only misfortune is that the surrounding water resources are polluted to a certain extent.
Because there was enough food there, the people of Chuchun Town did not dare or were reluctant to leave, and after a long time, they were prone to diseases, and newborns often had deformities.
Zeng Duo is one of the few healthy children in their group of children and has witnessed too many similar tragedies.
When she was almost an adult, she learned about the profession of relic hunter from a passing caravan, and chose to leave with them, wanting to find a better settlement so that everyone who was suffering could have a place to relocate.
Her efforts were thwarted at the beginning, and the caravan suddenly turned against her after moving away from Chuchun Town and sold her to a slave owner.
Fortunately, before she could suffer much, she encountered a riot among the slaves and took the opportunity to escape and enter a large town.
What she saw and heard after that made her more and more determined in her ideals and gradually became a true relic hunter.
During this process, she was infected in the wasteland on the north bank, and her heart and several other places had certain aberrations.
Unlike the people in her hometown, she found that this aberration brought more benefits, making her more stamina and explosive, and quickly becoming an excellent fighter
A few years ago, when she felt that her goal was about to be achieved, she suddenly found that the town seemed to be controlled by a team of soldiers from the "First City".
Zeng Duo, who had already found a new settlement, was busy saving Chuchun Town, but unfortunately, her body began to feel wrong, and the situation quickly deteriorated.
After the diagnosis of the black clinic, Zeng Duo realized that the previous aberration was not without harm, it had been hidden, slowly fermenting until it could never be recovered.
In despair, Zeng Duo had the idea of selling his organs to find a helper.
In fact, she no longer expects to save the entire Chuchun Town, she only thinks about how many townspeople she can save.
Han Wanghuo has been preparing for this all this time, whether it is weapons, ammunition, various materials, or reliable helpers, it is not so easy to obtain.
"Since I have agreed, it means that it is fair." Han Wanghuo thought for a while, and deliberately said with a cold face, "For me, my life is more important than the people of your entire town combined."
Zeng Duo didn't repeat his previous words, and nodded slightly:
"Anyway, if you are idle, you must have someone to cook.
"I need to eat too."
Han Wanghuo didn't stop anymore, watching Zeng Duo hold a paper bag containing ingredients and walk to the kitchen.
Before entering, Zeng Duo turned around and hesitated:
"You should rest more and don't be too tired, which will accelerate the deterioration of the condition.
"Well, I don't want you to be unable to support it before you complete the task."
Then I will try to do it in advance to see if I can stun you and drag you to the clinic...... Han Wanghuo wanted to say something threatening, but in the end he didn't speak, just nodded invisibly.
Zeng Duo processed the ingredients first, and waited until it was almost evening before cooking three dishes in an orderly manner.
Han Wanghuo picked up a piece of seared plum meat, looked at Zeng Duo, who was sitting aside, eating the leftovers from yesterday, frowned and said:
"You don't have to do this, do you?"
Zeng Duo swallowed the rice and said quickly:
"It can't be wasted."
While Han Wanghuo opened his mouth to speak, similar scenes from the previous days suddenly flashed in his mind.
And every time, he couldn't convince Zeng Duo.
Although this woman is not tall, she is more stubborn than imagined.
So, Han Wanghuo chose to concentrate on eating.
…………
Hearing Long Yuehong's words, Jiang Baimian was happy at first, then hesitated for a few seconds, and said as if nothing had happened:
"I didn't see it.
"Maybe he has turned to another street, well, we will go to him after we finish our business here."
She was worried that she and others were still in the "virtual world", which would drag Han Wanghuo into the water.
Since he already knew that the other party had been haunting the neighborhood, it would not be too late to ask again when he got rid of his current situation and returned to his original appearance.
Long Yuehong also figured out this question, and as a bodyguard and driver, he only had to answer one word:
"Okay."
Shang Jianyao looked at the car window on Jiang Baimian's side with a regretful expression, and took the opportunity to order Long Yuehong:
"Drive faster."
Long Yuehong followed the plan and drove the vehicle to a building not far away, as if she wanted to enter the underground parking lot there.
At this time, the area was still without power, the cause of the accident had not yet been clarified, the underground parking lot was dark, and there were emergency lights in only some places.
Taking advantage of the lack of light around, Long Yuehong pretended to be inadvertent and turned off the lights.
In an instant, a dark and closed space was formed inside the car.
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Long Yuehong did not feel any other abnormalities.
This shows that they have not been covered by the "virtual world" for some time.
——This plan also uses the fact that the owner of the "virtual world" has claustrophobia to test whether he is still in an illusion.
Of course, if the guess is inaccurate, Jiang Baimian and others will not be able to "approach" Marcus, and they will not be able to trace back his memory, so they can directly move on to the surrender link.
Long Yuehong turned on the lights again and seized the opportunity to let the vehicle leave through another exit.
Next, they got rid of the hypothetical tracking, changed the vehicle as planned, and removed the camouflage.
…………
In the aristocratic box, the power outage did not affect the enthusiasm of Marcus and others to watch the gladiatorial match.
The gladiator named Joey faced an Icelander slave today and finally killed the opponent at the cost of his injury.
After the slapping and shouting subsided, a nobleman's mobile phone rang.
His friend told him:
"There are 'rats' causing damage, and a large area of the city is without power......"
Before the nobleman could ask for details, he suddenly heard the sound of electricity coming from his mobile phone.
It seems that there is something wrong with the signal here!
Vaguely, he seemed to feel some kind of anger.
On the other side, Marcus, who also knew the news, suddenly turned blue.
…………
Back in the safe house, the four members of the "Old Tune Team" who had regrouped set their sights on Shang Jianyao.
"Is the power of the remnants of the 'Blind Ring' okay?" Jiang Baimian was not in a hurry to ask about the harvest, and first said a word of concern.
——Shang Jianyao transferred the remaining breath in the "Blind Ring" into his "spiritual world".
This is a taboo in the realm of the Awakened One, as it is likely to allow the owner of the corresponding breath to locate your "Mind World" and come directly to you.
Those who are awakened at the "Mind Corridor" level do similar things in the "Mind Corridor".
Because of this, Shang Jianyao was able to hide from the owner of the "virtual world".
Shang Jianyao smiled indifferently and said:
"It's okay, I've locked it up with the remnants of the 'Fate Pearl', maybe they will fight first."
Hey, drive away tigers and wolves...... Jiang Baimian scolded and asked instead:
"What are the gains?"
Shang Jianyao seriously talked about the few sentences left by Marcus's mother, the key points were:
1. Be wary of "mechanical heaven" and don't believe in the "source brain";
second, be careful of the Eighth Research Institute;
Third, keep your distance from Avia because she has very dangerous and amazing things there;
4. There is an old world laboratory in the ruins of Wasteland No. 13, and the passcode is "Messiah".
After listening to Shang Jianyao's retelling, Gnava fell silent, he didn't know where the "source brain" couldn't be trusted.
Jiang Baimian glanced at the intelligent robot and said considerately:
"After going around in circles, I went back to the Eighth Research Institute.
"Also, it seems that Ore does hold some secrets, and I don't know if he hid them in Avia, or in the laboratory of the ruins of Wasteland No. 13......
"Well, some of his research results are probably handled in this way."
And Ole is an expert in artificial intelligence and robotics.
