2044 Life is like a play
Between the West 1st District and the West 2nd District is a huge and desolate plain. It is filled with yellow sand, inaccessible, and mutant beasts gather. It is a hunting ground for adventurers and occasionally becomes their cemetery. It is also a place for certain places.
Most of these places are inconvenient to surface and need to be kept away from ordinary people's sight, such as some little-known underground black markets, or some private armed bases conducting some kind of unauthorized research.
Li He is currently in such a secret research base. The overall environment looks like an underground shopping mall. Maybe it was originally one, but it was abandoned after the disaster and turned into a land without one. It was transformed by latecomers and the entrance was changed.
It is very hidden under the plains between West 1 and West 2. The scenery of this gravel plain is mostly similar. Unless an acquaintance leads the way, it is difficult to find the entrance in the endless yellow sand.
Jin was a little scared and asked nervously: "Are we going to fight all the way out?"
Li He was still satisfied when he heard that Jin still said "we" even though he was scared to death. Since he said that, he was either reliable or smart. As a temporary partner, these two qualities no matter what
All species are good.
Of course it would be better if you have both.
In the corridor, Edward was leading the way with his whole body swaying, his face was clouded, and he looked miserable as if he might die at any time. After passing a corner, a straight corridor appeared in front of him, and he pointed to both sides of the corridor.
Rows of doors say: "These are the rooms we usually live in."
Seeing that Li He only nodded and said nothing, Edward could only continue with a grimace: "Go straight along this road to the laboratory, but outside the laboratory is an empty parking lot. There is no one here now, so everyone should be there."
I followed the doctor's orders and gathered there to wait for you to fall into a trap..."
Li He felt very strange at this moment. He didn't know whether it was due to numbness due to habit or other reasons. The pain he had been enduring in his heart became lighter and weaker. After hearing Edward's words, Li He said, "I listen to what you said."
I’m not very satisfied with it.”
Edward opened his mouth and stammered: "Ah? I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I didn't throw myself into a trap, but... uh... uh... bravely venture into the world?"
Li He smiled and said: "Why is it 'you'? It should be 'us'."
"Ah?" Edward was stunned, thinking about the meaning of Li He's words for a while, his legs became weak again, and he wailed: "Please, please spare me! I really can't go any further, the doctor will definitely
Kill me!"
Jin's face was also full of worry. He said to Li He: "Actually, can we have a good talk with that doctor? I don't think he wants to get rid of us as much as he thought. Maybe I can reveal my identity and they should
It’s only right that you have some scruples.”
"Someone has pressed a bomb in your heart that can be controlled to explode at any time, but you want to talk to him?" Li He looked into his eyes and said, "What to talk about? Talk about how to make him willingly give birth again.
You perform an operation to remove that thing from your heart, and you also have to make sure that he doesn't cut your little heart easily or with shaking hands during the removal process?"
"Uh..." Jin opened his mouth a little speechlessly, and said carefully: "I just want to say, maybe... he has some demands that we can fulfill, so maybe both parties don't need to
Are you going to fight to the death or me to live?"
"Forget it, the guy who will put a bomb on our heart, do you think he has any intention of having a good talk with you? I don't want to put my head in the hands of the enemy anymore, I hope the other party will be merciful
Spare my life so that I can thank him for not killing..." Li He said this, his voice paused
After a pause, he actually had another guess in his mind, that is, it was not that the other party did not want to kill, but that the old man was careless in Jingzhou at the beginning and lost his body in an instant without paying attention. As a result, he wanted to kill but could not, so he could only stay in the laboratory.
I am trying to reconnect my nerves, but I am afraid that I will not be able to do it before it is completed.
In other words, at this point, it is very likely that the old monster that can change its body is most vulnerable. If not killed at this time, when will it be killed?
But this is just a guess, just Li He's own unfounded guess. Maybe it's the old monster who is unwilling to kill his so-called "most outstanding work"? Undetermined conclusion Li He doesn't like to talk casually.
, did not mention this.
Seeing that Li He had already talked to this extent, Jin knew that Li He had made up his mind, so he nodded and stopped talking. On the contrary, when Edward saw that the two of them had discussed for a long time and still decided to "bravely go to the end of the world", his legs went weak and he lay down on the ground and begged.
Said: "Two warriors, I really admire your great ambition to fight against evil forces, but I am just an ordinary person and I am not that great. Can you spare my life? I will definitely be sincerely grateful to you.
The grace of not killing!"
Li He looked at him and said, "Were you the one who blew me up with a rocket launcher?"
"Huh?" Edward looked up blankly.
"Don't pretend, when I snatched the off-road vehicle and ran away, did you chase me with someone behind me and blow me up with a rocket launcher?"
"No! It's definitely not me!" Edward's forehead was beaded with sweat. "There are a lot of guards in the base. I'm just a guard team leader. How can I do such a difficult job as chasing people? It must be another guard team!"
"Oh?" Li He pursed his lips toward the fn2000 held in Jin's hand.
This is the most obvious directional marker. It was a great pleasure when he shot Li Heche in the butt with this assault rifle, but now that he is being held accountable, it is not so great. Edward said with a sad face: "Can we not discuss this for now?
question?"
Li He just looked at him without saying anything.
Jin stood aside with his arms crossed and looked a little anxious. He felt that since he had decided to fight, he should go faster and pursue a thunderous strike to avoid long nights and dreams. But now it is unwise for a few people to waste time here.
Why do you have to drag Edward along?
Li He had more considerations in his mind. He had suffered too much in this world, and his mentality changed again and again and he no longer trusted anyone, no matter how harmless or threatening the person seemed!
Edward said that the front is a laboratory, so does that mean it must be a laboratory?
He looks like a loser, so does that mean he must be telling the truth?
What if this is just a scene arranged by others, asking you to enter the urn, or simply deliberately leading the wrong way to buy time for Dr. Monster?
Why trust him?
A person who has saved his life twice can still bite him in the end.
Why should you trust a stranger who just blew himself up with a rocket launcher not long ago?!
Even if what he said was true, even if Edward really died, he would die in the laboratory, under his own eyes.
Until then, you can trust him if he is not lying, and say thank you to him for your efforts...
...
After experiencing so many things and surviving until now, no matter how slow Li He is, he should have made some changes in his mentality, becoming more mature and rational, more cold and selfish, and becoming more like a qualified reincarnation person.
Lin Kai once said that Li He's mind was quite smart and easy to use, but his understanding of human nature was not deep enough.
Now, it's slowly starting to get deeper.
...
Edward was dejected and walked forward resignedly. Now he could only silently pray that the fight between the gods would not affect his little sapling.
The three of them walked quietly in the quiet corridor.
Li He curiously wanted to open a door to see what was going on inside. He turned the handle and found that it was locked.
When Edward saw it, he said: "This is the place where we usually live. Except for the captain level, it is a very ordinary dormitory. It is usually four people to a room with two bunk beds. It will be locked after people leave. There is nothing valuable.
But it's private..." Before he could finish his words, Li He had already smashed open a door with an iron bed frame and walked in. He could only shrug helplessly and said to himself: "I miss them.
You probably won’t mind being given a small tour of your bedroom.”
As Edward said, this is indeed a very simple dormitory. There is an unpleasant smell of rotten vegetable leaves and pickled fish in the cramped room. There are two bunk beds separated on the left and right, and there is an open space in the middle to lean on.
There was a crudely made wooden table placed against the wall, and there was a small glass window on the wall. Other than that, there was nothing else, not even a storage cabinet.
Seeing that Li He couldn't understand, Edward took the initiative to explain: "Some of the doctor's inventions are very popular with the big shots in the gathering place, so there are a lot of financial sponsorships. The doctor is not short of money, so he is naturally generous. People who come here to work as guards
Basically, they come here for the high salary. The two teams rotate every seven days. The rooms here are just for the guards.
It is equivalent to a temporary residence for sleeping during breaks. After working for seven days, you can use the money you get to enjoy comfortably in the gathering place for seven days. Some people will happily pay an accommodation fee and directly leave their home.
Installed in the gathering place, in fact, most people like to do this, after all, the standard of one bullet a day is really not worth mentioning for us."
Li He didn't understand the price level of the world very well, so he didn't feel anything after hearing it. Jin snorted with disdain: "What a big tone, you don't take a bullet a day seriously? I'm really curious about you guys."
How high is the salary?”
Edward's ears twitched, and he quickly smiled condescendingly at Jin Pian and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. The salary is like this. The basic salary of ordinary guards is 1 energy crystal every seven days. We captains will get a little more.
And if any team can provide goods for testing, the doctor will give that team an additional reward based on the quality of the goods, usually about five to ten energy crystals."
"Use energy crystals directly as salary?" Jin's expression suddenly turned into panic, and he calculated carefully: "One per person. I think there are more than a hundred people in this base. Even if the reward is not included, at least one will be required every seven days.
Spend hundreds of energy crystals! This is impossible!" He shouted: "No matter how rich the gathering place is, it can't afford such a huge expenditure!"
Edward still lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'm just a team leader, I don't know much. Of course I can't afford the single gathering place you mentioned, but the number of gathering places funded by the doctor... is countless."
"How is it possible..." Jin was a little sluggish: "How could this be..."
It seems that the wealth of the owner of this base has been a bit of a big blow to Young Master Jin from West Second District, who has always claimed that his family is poor and only has money.
During the question-and-answer conversation between the two, Li He listened quietly throughout, trying to learn more about and collect information about the world. However, when he heard the energy crystal, his breathing became a little heavy.
He secretly converted in his mind: '1 point is worth 100,000 cash, and one energy crystal can be exchanged for 10 points. Working as a guard here, your weekly salary is over one million?!'
‘The stench of wine and meat in the Zhumen is really too much!’ Li He thought through gritted teeth.
Several people set out again.
The difference is that two of the three were immersed in thinking and lost their minds.
Jin was devastated.
Li He gritted his teeth.
Edward, who was leading the way, glanced at the two of them without leaving a trace, a trace of joy flashed across his face, and he said inaudibly to a tiny hole on his body: "Action!"
"Da da da" "bang bang" "beep beep beep beep"
In an instant, the overwhelming barrage drowned the three figures. The doors on both sides of the corridor in the second half of the corridor were all opened and gun heads stuck out. They fired randomly without seeking accuracy, just to vent their firepower.
Edward, who had fallen to the ground in advance and rolled to the side, was horrified to see several rockets with tail flames appearing at the end of the aisle in front of him, roaring towards this direction.
Chapter completed!
