Chapter 1330 The value of people in District 023
The next step was much smoother. It was difficult to talk while standing in the sand on a hot day, so Xu Huo and the others followed Mr. Chi and others back to the small town and went to their underground residence.
It is said to be a residence, but it is actually some dug holes. Xu Huo has also discovered these before. There are not many people there. Counting Xiao Lai and the two players who came back later, there are only sixteen people in total.
“We have nothing to entertain you here.” Mr. Chi invited Xu Huo and the others to sit down on the small stools, and the masked man poured half a glass of water for each of them.
“The water was given by us.” Qiu Ming muttered.
“I don’t know if the three of you think one hundred thousand white notes is a lot.” Mr. Chi suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
One hundred thousand white notes is not a lot of money for players.
“What about half a million?” Mr. Chi continued to ask.
With half a million yuan, Qiu Ming and Cao Qinglin''s movements stagnated slightly. With a little more money, they could buy a good prop.
Mr. Chi’s eyes always fell on Xu Huo, and then asked: “So what if it’s one million?”
?Xu Huo flicked the water glass in front of him, "Is this the price of a player''s head in Area 023, or the price of a clue?"
Mr. Chi smiled and said, "There are fourteen ordinary people in this underground passage. The whereabouts of one person are worth one hundred thousand white coins. If you take the corpse with you, you can get half a million, and if you are a living person, the price is even more. high."
?The breathing rhythm of the people present changed somewhat. Qiu Ming and Cao Qinglin were shocked by the value of the people in District 023, while Mr. Chi was touched by other emotions.
“It’s rare that this news has not leaked out in the dimension.” Xu Huo said after a moment.
"It''s such a cheap thing. Whoever has been here wants outsiders to get a piece of the pie, not to mention that the population of District 023 is already very sparse." Mr. Chi said calmly: "I have seen players who have been here once have no money in their pockets?" I come back here again when I have money, searching for living people everywhere.”
"Then you still dare to say it?" Qiu Ming said, "Aren''t you afraid that we might have our wrong thoughts?"
Mr. Chi’s expression remained unchanged, “Although it’s strong to be mentally evolved to the super level, there are so many of us, so we can’t kill you and force you to leave.”
He did not include Qiu Ming and Cao Qinglin. One-on-one, they can only consume up to two quotas.
??Qiu Ming made a "tsk" sound, but Cao Qinglin didn''t respond.
He said it very calmly, and everyone else was calm, but it is conceivable that if the reward was real, the real situation would be more than tragic.
"There have been players who found ordinary evolvers who did not make things difficult for them, but often after they left, someone came to find them soon. My compatriots died and were caught, so in my opinion, any strangers You can’t trust them, and the bet is just based on actual considerations.”
“When you leave, we will find another place to live.”
? Xu Huo did not waste time on this issue, but went straight to the core, "Are the genes of people in District 023 very special?"
?Other than that, there is no other reason why even information about the whereabouts of an ordinary evolved person can be sold for a high price of 100,000 yuan. If the human race is exterminated alone, it will not be a crime that requires survival.
“The so-called genes are just an excuse for those people to kill people in Area 023.” Mr. Chi sneered, “If our genes were really that good, Area 023 should not be what it is now!”
"Maybe it''s not the direction of player evolution." Cao Qinglin said at this time, "I have been to a district before. The local government there can find excuses to conduct human experiments in order to obtain genes for certain characteristics. The reasons are so ridiculous that you can''t even imagine. One of the most ridiculous and terrifying ones is the mole gene, just because there is a famous female star in that area with beauty marks on her face... In the end, all those who became experimental subjects were killed, and the reason for the public disclosure was the plague. "
"The people in District 023 are not good-looking." Qiu Ming looked at the people present and asked, "Either you are covering your face, or are you born with scars on your face?"
All the adults here are like this. There are only three children with clean faces. How could they be born? He asked this deliberately.
People in District 023 reacted more strongly to this topic, with two women immediately lowering their heads to wipe away tears.
At this time, Mr. Chi took off his turban, revealing his covered forehead. Because it had been covered for a long time, the color of this piece of skin was much lighter than other parts of the face, which also made the string of black numbers imprinted on it more clear. .
919835.
The man with the mask and the other two players took off their masks and face shields. Their numbers were on their cheeks, which were very conspicuous.
"Twenty years ago, this number was on my face." Mr. Chi touched his forehead and said, "Almost everyone in District 023 was branded with such a number. Some chose to remove it, and some like me kept it. The string of numbers reminds me how many of my fellow citizens have suffered from this humiliation.”
Mr. Chi is not too old, and his number is six digits. You can imagine how many people in Area 023 became experimental subjects at that time.
"You are so inhumane!" Qiu Ming''s attitude changed obviously, and he asked: "Didn''t you seek revenge against those grandsons?"
"It is difficult for us to enter the safe zone established by the outer district government. Even if we enter, we are no match for advanced players. We can only hide in the abandoned city." Mr. Chi put on his headscarf again. "Our zoning government in District 023 was established by players from the outer district. Come on, they have already replaced us as the masters of this zone.”
This means that they don’t even have channels to communicate with the game government, let alone obtain props, medicines and advanced instruments through the district government. Without the backing of the government, players in District 023 can only rely on themselves to fight in the game. What centralized copy of the strategy? , disclosing dungeon information, quick customs clearance and upgrades, etc. have nothing to do with them. The stronger the district government is, the weaker they will be.
"Why don''t you leave this zone?" Qiu Ming asked this question again, "You can go to other zones to improve your level and then come back."
“This is the bottom line.” Mr. Chi said: “No matter what the circumstances, we cannot hand over our entire homeland to outsiders.”
This is actually not difficult to understand. It is easy for players to leave, but once people walk a lot and for a long time, they will easily soften their minds. If you take one step back, you will not be afraid of taking the second step. Of course you can go outside to upgrade, but what? When is the time to gain strength? When you have the strength, can you act with more strength?
?Furthermore, once the players in the game disperse, it is difficult to meet again. Once people''s hearts disperse, perhaps over time, some people will slowly forget about this land that has been occupied by others.
It is difficult to stay, but only by staying can we take root and sprout.
"I admire your belief very much," Xu Huo was silent for a moment before speaking, "You abide by the contract, and I won''t be troublesome."
