Chapter 4 Bank Bullion
For Jiang Chen, when his feet were on the dusty and precious wooden floor, it was only a momentary thing.
Checking the energy bar on the lower wrist, Jiang Chen was stunned. The energy consumed by this time-travel was only 40%.
Will the capacity of the energy bar increase with the number of charges?
Jiang Chen shook his head, this is undoubtedly good news, but his knowledge is definitely not enough to explain this phenomenon. Just as it is.
Sitting quietly on the high-end sofa, Jiang Chen enjoyed the unparalleled luxury in this world, lit a cigarette, and waited for the passage of time.
Through the moldy wooden window, Jiang Chen faintly saw the shadow of Sun Jiao walking from the street. After taking out the binoculars on the side to confirm, Jiang Chen got up and went downstairs to open the door of the villa and let Sun Jiao in.
"The gold you want," Jiang Chen took the bag thrown by Sun Jiao. Jiang Chen's hands sank slightly, but his heart was filled with joy. It was not a light weight, only a few kilograms. However, the few kilograms of gold were thrown over by the woman as easily as a ball of paper. This force is really scary.
Jiang Chen glanced at her arm, the slender lines could hardly find the curves of the muscles.
"I'm really exhausted. There are zombies everywhere in the bank lobby. I almost emptied the ammunition of my two batteries before cleaning up those disgusting things. The vault of the bank was sealed with very thick steel plates. Can't open it. I found these gold bars in a room called the VIP room."
Sun Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead, then threw the backpack on her back to the side. Despite the small amount of gold, it still weighed a few kilograms. Including the weapons and supplies she was carrying, Sun Jiao was almost carrying a weight of 20 kilograms for the long journey. There is still some distance from the bank.
"then."
"Huh? This is..." Sun Jiao took the Coke thrown by Jiang Chen and stared blankly.
"I think you like to drink." Jiang Chen started to feel a little embarrassed when the beauty looked at him like this, so he said with a smile.
Her lips were slightly pursed, but Sun Jiao didn't say anything. She was only silent for a moment, then returned to her usual heroic attitude, opened the can, and took a swig of the Coke in her hand.
"Gulugulu... Ha! It's cool! This ghost weather helps you go out to transport gold. It's really hot. Hey, it's still ice?" Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
"The refrigerator in the kitchen can still be used, and the solar power generation equipment in this villa is surprisingly good." Jiang Chen did not lie. Although most of the electrical appliances were damaged by the EMP, the solar power generation equipment on the roof of this villa is still in good condition. The device unexpectedly survived, and the refrigerator was fine.
Maybe someone once lived here and repaired some of the electrical appliances used. But judging from the thickness of the dust on the ground, that was a long, long time ago.
"...Forget it, if I ask where you got it, you probably won't tell me." Sun Jiao waved her hand as if giving up, and threw the empty can on the ground, "So, what's next? To blow up the vault and move the gold here, I'm afraid it still needs professional help. At least...we need powerful explosives, or skilled hackers to decipher the electronic lock."
"Where can I find these two things?" The matter of explosives is not easy to deal with. It is very convenient to buy food in a harmonious society, but it is basically impossible to obtain such prohibited items. After all, Jiang Chen's identity is only a small citizen. That's it. After thinking for a while,
Jiang Chen asked.
"There are many survivor bases, such as Liuding Town," Sun Jiao said with a nostalgic expression, her eyes drifting out of the window, "That's an interesting place in this wasteland..."
"Is it far from here?"
"It's not too far, but it's a bit expensive." Sun Jiao narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Except for locals who own 'real estate' and 'labourers' who have lost their freedom, tourists need to pay 1 energy unit of sub-crystal to enter. , or some other equivalent."
"One o'clock Yajing?" Jiang Chen frowned suspiciously.
"It's this thing." Sun Jiao took out a green and black spar from her pocket, "The content of this sub-crystal is about 37 points left, which can be tested with Epaid. This thing is very difficult to handle, only Those powerful mutant creatures will condense this kind of biological crystal in the back of the brain. If possible, I really don't want to run into those guys..."
The monster that scares this guy? Jiang Chen felt terrible when he thought about it.
After taking this black spar, a sense of energy tugging with promise came from the right hand. Jiang Chen was shocked, this thing can actually charge the bracelet? !
However, Jiang Chen didn't show anything on his face, he just casually played with Ya Jing in his hand and returned it to Sun Jiao.
"What can I exchange for 1 sub-crystal?"
"One-tenth of a box of canned meat or half a box of low-quality canned food, 10 nutritional mixtures, 1 C-type battery, or 3 energy weapon clips. There are too many things that can be exchanged, and many of these energy substances survive. The bases are all things that can be used as currency. You can even find a woman in Liuding Town to sleep in." Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen with a playful look, teasing this little man made her feel something she couldn't say. pleasure.
"Cough, 37 sub-crystals, how about I exchange 4 cans with you?"
"Deal." Sun Jiao threw Yajing back into Jiang Chen's hands without hesitation, but as if thinking of something, she sighed and added hesitantly, "If you want me to tell you, although I know you The guy eats a lot, but this is definitely a loss. If you trade with others like this in the future, you will definitely be slaughtered as a victim..."
"Oh?" Jiang Chen shrugged nonchalantly, he didn't really care about the fraction of the three sub-crystal points.
"Although 10 o'clock crystal is worth a can, it depends on what kind of can... Most of the cans in Liuding Town are the meat of mutant fish, and many are mixed with sand. However, this is already the best situation. ...you must know that some cans contain even human flesh..."
The helplessness and numbness in those words made Jiang Chen feel suffocated. Swallowing his mouth, he was speechless for a while.
"Curry chicken nuggets, braised beef... these are the delicious flavors that I have tasted for the first time in my life," Sun Jiao said, while she gave Jiang Chen a meaningful look, then looked away, "Wasteland The merchants on the market usually use mutant cattle to consign their goods, and I have had the privilege of eating beef from a mutant cow. The dry taste has made me very satisfied.”
"I believe in you." Jiang Chen's voice was very soft.
He suddenly felt a little terrified. For Sun Jiao, he was even more of a scumbag. If she peeps at her "wealth", I'm afraid she will be able to solve herself in an instant.
believe it? Jiang Chen only dared to feel a tinge of horror now. He even had the idea of grabbing the gold and sending it back to the modern age, leaving everything here behind, regardless of whether his life is the end of the world or a wasteland. These kilograms of gold are enough for him to live a millionaire life.
He understood at this moment, he still imagined this world too simple.
However, perhaps because of greed, perhaps because of inexplicable conceit. After a battle between heaven and man, Jiang Chen finally calmed down and suppressed the idea of running away in his heart.
There was no expression on his face, Jiang Chen tried his best to make himself not look so scared.
"I believe?" Miss Sun Jiao sneered, but she couldn't hide the indescribable emotion under her eyebrows. However, this distant word has long since disappeared in the wasteland of starvation and death. At this moment, although Jiang Chen said this fascinating word, Sun Jiao's facial muscles just instinctively expressed disdain.
Sighing, Sun Jiao walked to the kitchen.
"Your naivete is really disturbing...but I don't hate it."
"..." Hearing Sun Jiao say this, Jiang Chen gradually let out a sigh of relief and let go of the tight strings in his heart.
Maybe he made the right bet, Sun Jiao didn't want to plot against him.
Otherwise, she has many opportunities to solve me, and there is no need to delay it until now... The big stone that was pressing on Jiang Chen's heart has finally been removed.
"...Since you are my employer, in addition to protecting your life, I think... I am also obliged to ensure that you are not deceived by people with ulterior motives. Um... how should I say, if someone spy on you It is also a kind of trouble for me. If you trade with others in the future, it is best to take me with you."
Sun Jiao who walked to the door suddenly stuck her head back and said.
"..."
Could this be... arrogant?
"...Don't look at me with that kind of eyes! Shit, I got goosebumps, ahem," Sun Jiao avoided Jiang Chen's gaze a little in a panic, and ran into the kitchen, but it didn't take long for the A startled scream came, "Ah! How, how is that possible? Refrigerator!"
Excuses, beliefs, and even most of Jiang Chen's words were false, all just to avoid unnecessary trouble and danger.
However, the emotion at that moment was real.
At that moment, Jiang Chen unexpectedly discovered that this savage woman is not so annoying... on the contrary, she is kind of cute?
"Don't eat canned food, we'll have fresh vegetables tonight! To celebrate... to celebrate my first employee!" As if to vent his happy mood, Jiang Chen laughed and rushed into the kitchen.
Standing stunned in front of the refrigerator, Sun Jiao even forgot to refute the name of an employee, and just stared blankly at the tomatoes...and eggs in the refrigerator.
These fresh ingredients were stuffed by Jiang Chen before she came back.
"You..." Sun Jiao turned her head stiffly, and opened her mouth in a stunned tone of trembling.
"Don't ask, I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind. We'll discuss this at dinner, and now... um... can you cut tomatoes?"
Leaving the sluggish Sun Jiao on the spot, Jiang Chen walked to the refrigerator with a smug smile on his face, and took out a few tomatoes and eggs from it.
"Tonight, we have tomato scrambled eggs!"
