Chapter 541: Reckoning Will Come
Chapter 541: Liquidation will come eventually
”Oh no…it seems that these chips are really going to be worthless.”
A small single-family house by Linghu Lake.
Fang Chang, who was sitting at the dining table, was reading a newspaper, and his peripheral vision happened to catch a glimpse of the straight upward line on the trading screen.
Surprised, he couldn’t help but curl up a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
Just when almost all industries in the entire Boulder City were extremely short of money, the price of S coins ironically hit a new high, reaching one S coin to 9881 chips.
With the current trading volume, it is almost no suspense to break through the 10,000 mark. People are constantly buying, and they are buying over and over again.
Sitting opposite the dining table, Dolly stared blankly at the screen spread out on the table, her mouth wide open enough to fit a duck egg.
Fang Chang had told her before what the up and down line meant, and what the numbers next to it meant.
However, she still couldn’t believe that these invisible and intangible numbers could actually be exchanged for real chips!
Bighorn Deer God!
She used to work in a newspaper office, and even with bonuses, she only made more than a thousand chips a month!
If a resident of Boulder City bought 100 S coins at the beginning, wouldn’t she never have to work for the rest of her life?
The duck egg-like mouth shape soon expanded into a goose egg.
”It seems that there is no suspense about breaking through the 10,000 mark.”
Without noticing Dolly’s expression change, Fang Chang clicked the screen twice, called up the transaction details and positions of each account from the background, and soon found that many transactions were from the same big account.
Although he didn’t know who was behind the account, looking at the cumulative transaction amount of hundreds of millions of chips… he could only say that this brother was having too much fun.
Of course, this is not without reward. The total number of S coins in this brother’s account is close to 200 million chips!
Winning, brother!
But don’t worry.
Fang Chang smiled and clicked the sell button, taking advantage of the gratifying rise to recover some funds, and by the way, suppressing the upward momentum, so that these brothers who wanted to break through 10,000 immediately can calm down. At this time, it is necessary to smash in a V-shape, and hesitate before entering and then stand firm. It is necessary to give some confidence to the brothers who are still inside, and also give other friends who are itching to wait and see a chance to get on the train.
Of course, he is not just staring at a fat sheep and pulling it hard, but has a systematic and complete wool harvesting plan.
When the selling pressure is small, use the funds in the account to slowly pull it up. When the selling pressure is large, smash it down and wait for the brothers who sell the S coins to throw out before pulling it up. Anyway, as long as they keep watching, it is only a matter of time before they buy it back.
Some smart kids will probably try to study the rules of the lines, compare the relationship between trading volume and price, and use mathematical methods to figure out the market sentiment. But he thinks that with the intellectual level of the inner city nobles, it is unlikely that they can come up with any similarity and difference moving averages in such a short time. At most, they can make up a few jingles to entertain themselves.
Thinking of this, Fang Chang’s mouth curled higher and higher.
”Too weak.”
These people probably haven’t even seen what a sickle looks like, and they don’t realize that they have become leeks.
Seeing the scheming expression on Fang Chang’s face, Dolly finally came to her senses and said with two small eyebrows frowned.
”…You are lying, right?”
Fang Chang smiled and said jokingly.
”My lovely reporter finally found out?”
”But…”
”You want to ask why they didn’t find out, right?”
Seeing the confusion in Dolly’s eyes at a glance, Fang Chang smiled slightly and continued in a relaxed tone when he saw her nod.
”It’s not difficult to find out the problem. Just do a very simple math problem and use multiplication to calculate how much all the S coins are worth, and you will find that something is wrong.”
The price of an S coin is close to 10,000, so just calculate it as 10,000. Anyway, he, the dealer, has the final say on how much it is worth.
Not counting those “automatically reproduced” S coins, the total value of the one million S coins initially issued alone has reached 10 billion chips!
Fang Chang didn’t know whether the Boulder City Bank had so many chips, but this number was almost three times higher than the debt scale of the alliance.
He admitted that he was bad enough. After all, it is immoral to cheat fools.
But these deceived guys were really stupid. They didn’t even bother to look at what they bought before buying.
”…But why didn’t they find out? Why? I don’t understand.” Dolly muttered in confusion.
”It’s much more difficult to analyze why a specific person fell into the pit than to push a group of people into the pit. After all, people just fall into the pit in the same way, but their motives and reasons are all kinds of strange. I’m just a pit digger, and I really can’t answer you.” Fang Chang smiled, and suddenly he had an idea and said, “Write a column later and publish the story of S coin in the newspaper, so that fewer people will fall into the pit.”
It’s impossible to disappear completely.
At this time, the law is needed to enforce fairness.
The draft of the “Financial Law” is almost completed, and most of it is copied from reality, and the rest has been improved according to the situation in the wasteland.
The forum has been discussing this matter these days, and Professor Yang also scolded him for being a human being and filling the pit after making a fortune.
Fang Chang is actually quite innocent. You say you are a guy without a helmet, why are you so anxious?
Moreover, this set of laws only protects industries and residents within the alliance, and does not prohibit these bastards from going out to harm others.
Of course.
It is best to study other people’s rules before harming others. For example, if he wants to use this method in Ideal City, he will definitely be thrown out.
The Bugera Free State in the north is a typical capital-dominated force, and it is also an extremely special case of “laying eggs in a borrowed nest”.
It is still quite difficult to cheat those people. It is a blessing not to be cheated when doing business with them. At present, half of the scammers who have infiltrated the alliance are exported from there.
These problems that go deep into the social level are difficult to deal with by drones patrolling in the sky. It is extremely irresponsible to expect AI to solve all problems. It must rely on players who go deep into the lives of NPCs to discover them.
I have to praise A Guang. The Beta0.5 version came out at the right time!
”Oh?” Her long eyelashes narrowed into a crescent moon, Dolly, with her hands on her cheeks, showed a lazy and mischievous smile, and her feet dangling under the table stepped on his knees and scratched them, “Mr. Big Liar, are you going to reveal his tricks?”
This guy is on holiday today and is particularly naughty.
In order to prevent her from being so proud, Fang Chang decided to be naughty as well, so he put down the newspaper in his hand and cleared his throat in a pretentious manner.
”Then it depends on whether Miss Investigator works hard.”
”You don’t want everyone to be fooled by a bad guy like me, do you?”
Looking at that mischievous smile, Dolly’s cheeks flushed slightly and she snorted softly.
”I should have handed you over to the guards directly… Just tell them the truth.”
After saying that, she pushed the chair away with both hands and jumped down. She walked to the fireplace with her slippers clacking and added some firewood. It
was getting colder outside.
The wind and snow outside the window were blowing, making the glass snap.
However, the alliance, which had experienced heavy snow, had already prepared and made emergency plans in advance. Including giving holidays to some staff who need to go out for work, including giving cold weather subsidies to staff who are still on duty, etc.
Medical posts cannot be stopped, educational posts can be moved underground to avoid the wind and snow, steel mills and some foundries that produce a lot of heat do not need to stop, and some factories that do not install heaters and do not meet the heat production standards are required to stop work.
The newspaper had installed heaters, but they had to receive subsidies for going to work, and they just didn’t have that much work, so the editor-in-chief gave them paid leave.
It was said that the Alliance had stored a large amount of winter supplies, and even in the most severe situation, it could stabilize the current prices.
Previously, the manager had come to their newspaper’s studio to give a speech, and personally told everyone on the radio not to worry.
Everyone believed it and was full of confidence. Because that adult always did what he said, and always talked about difficulties and solutions, and never said things they couldn’t understand. If they didn’t believe him, would they believe the clown named House next door?
The Alliance was not far from Boulder City, and it was not difficult to listen to his program.
Dolly was of course full of confidence in him.
After all, even the “bad guy” in her family admitted that the manager was a rare good man, not to mention that he was so open-minded about progressive voices.
She had no doubt that the Alliance would have a brighter future, and after the snow fell, there would be a vibrant world again. It
was just a heavy snow.
Every resident of the alliance will not take it seriously!
…
After adding some firewood to the fireplace and drawing the curtains, the small house by Linghu Lake became warmer and warmer, so hot that people sweated.
But outside the house was another world. The biting wind and snow were like knives, falling from the endless cloud cover, and shattering the entire silver-clad world one by one.
In the wasteland, especially in the River Valley Province, even the rare warm winter is not warm, but the snow will be delayed for one or two months.
But it will come.
It will come eventually.
The giant wall, 20 to 30 kilometers away from Linghu, stood like an icy iron curtain in the wind and snow, ruthlessly dividing the prosperity and desolation of this wasteland. On
one side of the giant wall are layers of high and low houses, and on the other side are shacks crushed by the snow. As most of the survivors of Boulder City are proud of, even a little garbage leaking from this giant wall can nourish countless poor people begging for food at their feet.
Most of the workers in the cannery still had a leaky house, while the real poor people living in the slums at the foot of the giant wall could only make do in shacks.
Human vitality is very tenacious.
Where weeds cannot survive, people can survive, and even where slime molds cannot go, there are traces of people.
The unbreakable wall stood tall and blocked the wind and snow for the people inside, blocked the slime molds, and blocked the chaos, death and poverty in the wasteland. However, I am afraid that its builders had never imagined that this wave that swept everything did not come from outside the giant wall, but from its center.
The angry survivors gathered on the main road. Most of them were workers from the industrial area, and some citizens and mercenaries who sympathized with Sberg were mixed in.
This time it seemed to be more fierce than before. The militia knew that the target of these poor people was not the city hall or the bank, and the burning flames were aimed directly at the giant stone building in the center. Therefore, they quickly completed the assembly, and even used equipment that had not been used in the wave, and stood in front of the survivors in full battle array.
”Hand over Sberg!”
”We will never give up any of our co-workers!”
The snow piles on the eaves were emitting wisps of white steam, and broken snow was shaken off from time to time.
The boiling shouts were overwhelming, and even the heavy snow flying all over the sky retreated.
Wei Lun, the centurion of the 1,000-man team, put on a heavy power armor and looked at the surging crowd in front of him, but he was sweating coldly.
These guys were like they had eaten gunpowder!
He had never seen so many angry people gathered together.
There might be a few mercenaries mixed in, ready to ignite the gunpowder barrel at any time. If possible, he really didn’t want to fight these people.
Compared to them, he would rather face the waves!
”Residents of the outer city, calm down!”
He turned on the speaker of the power armor and shouted at the top of his voice, “I have asked the inner city, your friend… Sberg is still alive!”
Before he even finished his words, he was interrupted by a roar.
”Nonsense!”
”You said he was alive in the morning, then changed your words to say he was dead at noon, and now he is alive again. Did he die again at night?”
”We don’t want to listen to your nonsense! We don’t want to be calm! We want to see the person! We want him to tell us in person whether he is dead or alive!”
”Go to hell! Pig in armor! Bah!” There
were other voices mixed in with the shouting.
Some people shouted that the bread was too expensive, some shouted that the nobles were robbed, and some just wanted to take advantage of the collapse of order in the city to make some money.
It was difficult to tell who was who.
Yes.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that even in the decaying Stone City, there was a precious treasure like order.
This was completely different from good and evil and fairness.
But now, it has been quietly shaken by people’s doubts and condemnations…
Not only the chips are gradually becoming ineffective, but also the black cards in the hands of the nobles.
Just as Fang Ming said, it was just a room card…
The looters who had been keeping their tails between their legs began to stir, and the mercenaries who wanted to take advantage of the situation were fanning the flames. Most people knew that there were dirty people in the team, but most people didn’t care anymore.
No matter where this power came from, they just wanted to turn this settlement upside down and take their friends back from the robbers!
Wei Lun was sweating profusely, and the front line kept retreating. At the same time, he had to be vigilant against those guys who left the main force and infiltrated behind them.
I heard that his immediate superior, the militia leader Zhao Yongxu, had already angrily rebuked his neighbors in the meeting hall, accusing them of not doing things cleanly.
The settlement has fallen into a vortex of contradictions.
The alarm that would only sound when there was a tide sounded on the giant wall, but the piercing alarm could no longer shake the united crowd.
If there is any difference between this and the “Ending A” deduced by the computer, it is probably the hesitation in people’s hearts.
Most people in the workers’ union did not want to make a big fuss, after all, they did not know whether the captured workers were dead or alive.
Citizens joined the team, perhaps for justice in their hearts, but more for simple reasons such as bread was too expensive.
The soldiers were a little shaken, because their wallets were shrinking every day, and in front of them were not only a group of poor people, but also their families – those seemingly decent citizens.
Wei Lun, who really had a black card, was also hesitant.
No one knows the soldiers behind him better than him. They can bully poor people and deal with the waves, but now they have too many people to deal with…
He can feel their hesitation and vacillation.
Those who were not caught in the vortex tried to escape from the city, while the wastelanders who tried to get some benefits from the vortex hated that the city gate was not opened. In order to prevent the public security from deteriorating further, the militia of Boulder City has urgently closed all the entrances and exits of the outer city.
Originally, those who wanted to come in were just persuaded to leave, and it was not impossible to go in, but now they can’t get in or out at all.
A large group of people gathered outside the gate of Boulder City.
Among them, some escaped before the gate closed, standing in the cold wind with their arms folded, shivering, looking around blankly, not knowing where to go next.
Most people didn’t bring much luggage, and only had some chips in their pockets that people outside didn’t want, and there was no definite news when the door behind them would open again.
In front of them was the wasteland!
The wasteland that eats people!
They didn’t even know which side of hell was inside or outside the door…
In addition to those who regretted escaping, there were also those who regretted not insisting on sneaking in.
Most of the wastelanders could more or less guess that this bustling casino seemed to be reshuffling again.
And every time the cards were reshuffled, the guys with big fists could get some advantage.
”Damn it!” Looking at the completely blocked door, the Killing Dagger and the Kidney Fighter had expressions of deep regret on their faces.
According to the NPCs, this kind of “limited time event” would only happen once every 20 to 30 years, and they were just a little bit away from getting in!
Compared to the little life that was lost every three days, the event that happened once every 20 to 30 years was obviously more rare!
What a loss!
Just as the two were regretting, a man in a cotton coat suddenly approached and said in a low voice.
”Hey? Are you from the Alliance?”
Killing Dagger looked up at the man and nodded.
”Yes, what’s the matter?”
Seeing that he had found the right person, the man’s eyes suddenly lit up, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said.
”I’m from the militia.”
The Kidney Fighter next to him smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
”What a coincidence, I’m from the Burning Corps.”
”Burning Corps?” The man was stunned for a moment, didn’t understand, but didn’t take it seriously, and continued, “No matter what you are… I have a batch of good stuff here, are you interested?”
Killing Dagger came over and asked curiously.
”What good stuff?”
”People, or to be more precise… beautiful noble ladies,” the man raised his eyebrows and said with a beaming face, “Are you interested?”
”Fuck! Human trafficking?” Killing Dagger immediately dodged back, looked at him warily and said, “We don’t want slaves! Don’t you dare to cheat me!”
Kidney Fighter also echoed, loudly stating his position to the dog planner in the sky.
”That’s right! We are not that kind of people!”
The NPCs in this game are getting more and more cunning.
They always find ways to set traps for them.
Before, there was an unlucky kid who was almost cheated, but fortunately everyone persuaded him in time.
As good brothers of Brother Fang, they have read the “Player’s Handbook” seriously. The shelter does not restrict the scope of interaction between players and NPCs, and does not deal with emotional entanglements, but it is strictly forbidden for players to keep slaves, and they must be released if they are bought or accidentally obtained.
The things written in the “Player’s Handbook” are equivalent to the rules of the shelter. There is not much content, and it mainly restricts the residents of Shelter No. 404.
Unlike a series of laws of the Alliance, the regulations written in the “Player’s Handbook” are not only within the Alliance, but also must be followed as long as they are still residents of the shelter, even outside the Alliance.
If you think the identity of a shelter resident is too troublesome, just return the helmet.
”Damn it, keep your voice down… What human trafficking, I don’t mean that,” the man was startled by their sudden loud shouting, and hurriedly explained, “I just said that I would let you meet, but I didn’t say I would sell the person to you… He is a noble! You still want to buy him? Are you crazy or am I crazy?!”
Of course, if these two bosses from the Alliance can really afford the high price, it is not impossible… He will ask his superiors, maybe he can still make some concessions.
Anyway, with such a big mess, it is normal for one or two people to be missing. Every time the gate is closed, it is not only the lives of the poor that are discounted, but also the lives of the nobles.
The man couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
As expected of a local tyrant from the alliance, he plays too much.
He even wants to take people back…
The Killing Dagger was still alert and stared at the man for a few times.
”What do you mean? Meet her?”
”For example, let you meet her when she is asleep,” the man frowned, “We know a beauty salon nurse, some deep maintenance small operations require the customer to be asleep, and she has a way to make her customers sleep longer… You have enough time to do whatever you want, and it is guaranteed that no one will know about it later.”
The two players heard the words, and their faces changed instantly.
”Fuck?”
”Is she crazy?”
The man said indifferently.
”Crazy? Maybe. Anyway, the chips given by those ladies are getting less and less valuable. As long as you are willing to give some real money, why wouldn’t she do it?”
The Kidney Fighter swallowed his saliva.
Of course, he couldn’t do such an evil thing, but in order to criticize it harshly on the official website, he still wanted to find out the price.
”How much?”
Seeing that he had taken the bait, the man smiled and raised a finger.
”One million silver coins.”
The two people’s faces changed immediately.
”Fuck!”
”One million?! Are you crazy?”
One million silver coins can be exchanged for 10 million RMB on the official website.
This NPC is probably not awake yet!
Killing Dagger silently took a photo of this guy, and planned to criticize these guys who sold their souls on the forum later.
Seeing the two turned around and left, the man suddenly became anxious and hurriedly chased after them and shouted.
”Don’t go! 800,000! No, 500,000 is also fine!”
Not far from the three people, the brother and sister were eavesdropping quietly.
Lao Bai and Kuangfeng went to the nearby Far Wind Hotel to open a room, and went offline to collect intelligence on the official website. The two of them were responsible for inquiring on the street in front of the city gate, and happened to hear the previous conversation.
Seeing the old man’s smiling expression, Jiujiu rolled his eyes and kicked his calf.
”Brother, you are not tempted, are you? I’ll tell Sister Teng Teng.”
Ye Shi’s face changed immediately after hearing this, and he hurriedly said.
”Damn, why are you telling her? No, I am not tempted at all… Didn’t you see that I was about to criticize you!”
Seeing that his brother was busy explaining, Jiujiu rolled his eyes and suddenly said with a sly smile.
”But then again, Sister Teng Teng’s image in the game is obviously a little girl, but in reality she is actually a queen.”
Ye Shi’s expression paused.
”How did you know?”
Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
”Brother, you don’t think you are the only one who has a small group, do you?”
”Awesome!”
Ye Shi looked at the little guy in surprise, gave him a thumbs up, then smiled shyly, looked at his sister and said flatteringly.
”That… sister, I’ll leave the matter of the Penguin account to you, help your brother.”
Jiujiu waved his hand lazily.
”Go and ask for it yourself.”
Ye Shi said with a smile.
”Damn, you’re so ruthless!”
”It’s okay for me to help you, unless…” Looking at the impatient old man, Jiujiu rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile, “Let me into your herd of cattle and horses!”
Hearing this request, Ye Shi suddenly deflated like a deflated ball, and said with a shy smile.
”Well, forget it… I’ll go ask for it myself another day.”
”Ah? Forget it?” Jiujiu smacked her lips and glanced at him, “Your feelings for Miss Teng Teng are just like this.”
”You don’t understand,” Ye Shi shook his head, “That’s a group of adults, don’t join in the fun as a kid… It’s not good for you.”
Not to mention his and Kuangfeng’s full nicknames, suddenly there was an insider, and it would be difficult for everyone to drive in the future.
”Tsk!” Jiujiu rolled her eyes and didn’t care about his little thoughts.
Putting his attention back on the game, Ye Shi stared at the man in a hurry, touched his chin and said.
”But that person…seems to have a way to get into the city.”
Now the gate is completely closed, and even if you pay the city tax, you can’t get in, and the people inside can’t get out.
Some of their “customers” and the equipment they bought are still locked up in the city. It would be a pity if they were smashed or burned in the chaos. We have to find a way to get people and things out of there! After all
, that was what Brother Fang had finally cut with S coins.
He was not interested in the noble lady, but he was still very tempted by the really valuable treasures inside.
Jiujiu looked at his brother suspiciously.
”You are still tempted, brother, I misjudged you.”
Ye Shi said with a smile.
”What is this all about! Are you listening to me?”
Gan!
Jiujiu was about to speak when a strange voice suddenly came from behind them.
”What are you discussing? Take me with you.”
With a warning sign in his heart, Ye Shi turned his head abruptly, and saw a man in a formal suit standing behind him, looking at him and Jiujiu with a smile.
There was no extra aura on him,
but his presence was so strong that it was impossible to ignore him. Half a step behind him, there was a woman whose face was covered by a black mirror. The shiny breastplate was engraved with the logo of Giant Stone Military Industry and the number “X-16”.
”Who are you?” Protecting his sister behind him, Ye Shi stared at the man vigilantly, his hand already grasping the pistol in his pocket.
Not paying attention to his actions, Ibers said politely.
”Let me introduce myself. My name is Ibers, the president of Giant Stone Military Industry… Although this may be the first time you meet me, I have actually been paying attention to you for a long time.”
Giant Stone Military Industry!
Hearing this name, Ye Shi felt a little guilty, but still said it with a stiff upper lip.
”Why are you…paying attention to us?”
”Nothing, it’s just that it’s rare for someone to appreciate our achievements so much, and I pay some attention to it out of personal interest,” Ibers showed a happy smile on his face, and continued, “But it’s too inefficient for you to move things bit by bit like ants, and it will mess up the puzzle I worked so hard to
finish.” “Why don’t you just buy me too.”
Jiujiu: “……?”
Ye Shi: “???”
What? !
…
Just when Ye Shi and Jiujiu were confused, Jixiu, who was strolling on the street at the city gate, was surrounded by a group of bodyguards and was describing the blueprint for the future with his friends.
”See, what is the real tribute from all nations!”
”The survivors’ settlements in the central part of the entire Central Continent, no matter east, south, west or north, have to do business with us! People’s stalls are lined up like a river, and they look at us expectantly! They know that without us, they just can’t do it!”
When he was excited, he opened his arms and embraced the wind and snow, with a sunny smile on his face.
”What kind of alliance is this? Too weak!”
He comes here every day these days, and brings his good friends with him.
After all, it won’t be long before he becomes the master of this place.
A young man asked curiously.
”What do you think they are selling? Why haven’t they sold out after so long?”
”I saw a few familiar faces, they seem to be from the militia?”
”I don’t know, it doesn’t matter,” Jixiu waved his hand, asking them to look at him again, and continued, “No matter what those servants are selling, as long as they are doing business, it must be related to us. Only with transactions, there will be profits, and our settlement will benefit from it. This is the most simple and easy-to-understand economic knowledge.”
Economics!
Everyone’s eyes lit up, and a few boys secretly gave a thumbs up.
After all, Jixiu has seen the world. These five years of study abroad have not been wasted. He has learned some knowledge in the Ideal City!
Looking at the lively but slightly messy market, Jixiu’s eyes were filled with a hint of sadness, and there was also a hint of invisible superiority.
These unrespectable businessmen are too vulgar. If no one manages them, they will grow randomly like weeds.
He will use the most advanced methods to let them do it their own way!
”Unfortunately, although this place is very close to us, it is not in our settlement after all, and these short-sighted guys have no long-term plan… When the time comes, I plan to spend a sum of chips to buy the Far Wind Hotel!”
Kumit asked excitedly.
”Then what?”
Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, Jixiu clenched his fists proudly.
”Then we will tax those stalls, demolish the slums, and let all those people live in our hotel. People will thank us for letting them live in a more luxurious hotel instead of the shabby low houses of the Alliance, and we will have more money to do bigger things, such as widening the wall to the side of the viaduct! When the time comes, people can just get off the bridge and go directly to our settlement! The most prosperous center!”
”I heard that it is not very difficult technically. We were able to build such a huge wall before, and we can build a bigger one in the future!”
Jixiu narrowed his eyes and looked at his future kingdom.
The long queue of stalls and people was simply endless, and could be lined from the gate of the Boulder City to the viaduct behind the Far Wind Hotel!
Although the bustle here is not worth mentioning compared to the city, it is winter now!
If he remembers correctly, there would not be so many people doing business in winter in previous years. Obviously, the Stone City has developed a lot in the five years he was away.
It seems that his plan is still a bit conservative.
He originally planned to use three to five years to realize it bit by bit, but now it seems that the plan can be slightly advanced.
Of course, this is also thanks to the good man named Fang Chang.
If it weren’t for that brother, he would not have so much money to dispose of at will.
Whenever he thought of the meeting on the plane, Ji Xiu couldn’t help but feel complacent. It was simply the smartest negotiation in his life, and it might become a good topic for people to talk about after dinner in the future.
”Brother! You are so awesome!”
Kumit, who was standing aside, excitedly took the lead in applauding, with a smile on his face.
He found that since his good buddy Ji Xiu came back from Ideal City, not only has he become smarter, but his words have become more and more pleasant.
He loves to listen!
To be honest, this is much more interesting than women!
And Jixiu really didn’t lie. The S coins in his account were worth tens of millions of chips. His father had never given him so much pocket money!
Those mysterious experiences might be a bit of bragging, but money doesn’t lie!
At this time, a gust of cold wind blew.
Kumit suddenly sneezed, rubbing his nose and muttering.
”Why is it so cold today…”
The little fat man who was standing next to him saw it and quickly took off his coat and handed it to him,
”You can wear mine.”
”Thank you, Piru, you are such a good person.”
Although it was not very cold, Kumit still took the coat and put it on his shoulders, and patted the fat shoulders of the little fat man with a smile.
The little fat man smiled and said.
”Of course, we are brothers.”
He is Weijia’s son.
Although his father is also a big boss, compared with the fathers of these people, he is just a small role.
His father always told him that in Boulder City, connections are the most scarce resource, so he never hesitates to invest in these brothers.
He took the initiative to take out the first million-level funds of S coins, and later he gradually added chips to about 10 million.
This money is of course a bloody profit now.
However, he is timid, and has gradually sold some of it under his father’s advice. After deducting the initial investment, he still made a small profit.
At this time, a shrill bell suddenly rang in the city.
Everyone stopped talking and looked in the direction of the giant wall.
”The city has sounded the alarm…” Walking to Kumit’s side, an awakened bodyguard said respectfully, “We have to go back quickly.”
Kumit scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look.
”But it’s winter.”
The faces of the young men were full of worry. After looking at each other, they whispered to each other.
”Anyway, let’s go back first…”
”I always feel that something bad is going to happen.”
”Safety first!”
Looking at the brothers gathered together to talk, the fat boy Piru hesitated, and finally mustered up the courage and said to his good brother Kumit.
”You guys go back quickly, I won’t go with you.”
Kumit looked at him in surprise.
”Are you crazy? Staying outside when the alarm is sounded? This is a wasteland!”
Piru smiled and said,
”My father asked me to wait for him at the Far Wind Hotel. He said he has something to discuss with me. I have to go there quickly, otherwise he will beat my ass.”
Kumit was stunned for a moment, nodded and said.
”Okay… take care of yourself.”
Running out when the alarm sounded?
What a weird guy!
But Mr. Weijia is also a capable person. If he wants to come in, he can just talk about it, so he doesn’t bother to worry about his little friend.
”You too! You must take care of yourself,” Piru waved his hand and said, looking at Kumit who was about to take off his coat and return it to him, “You keep it as a souvenir.” Kumit was stunned for a moment
, and just when he was about to ask what he meant, the bodyguard next to him coughed lightly, interrupting his thoughts.
”Master, we should go… This is a big deal. Your father will be worried if he can’t see you.”
”Okay.”
Kumit nodded, watched Piru’s back as he left, and finally said nothing. He waved his hand and led everyone to the direction of the giant wall gate.
Although the gate was blocked, for those who had black cards, the so-called rules were just rules.
At first, Kumit was not too worried, but the moment he entered the stone city, he immediately realized that something was wrong. There
were too many people!
And they were all crowded on the street at the door!
He had never seen so many people clamoring to get out!
The bodyguard gently pulled his sleeve.
”The main road can’t go, let’s take the small road.”
Those poor guys have blocked the road.
”Yeah!” Kumit nodded vigorously, his expression gradually tensed up.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, everyone stopped procrastinating, and no one joked anymore. They trotted all the way to the inner city.
The street was in chaos.
The guards who patrolled on weekdays seemed to have disappeared, and the militiamen were nowhere to be found. Occasionally, there were clanging and smashing sounds and angry curses from men and women on the main road next door. What was
even more frightening was that the noises were even louder on the streets in the distance.
People seemed to be shouting something together…
The voices were like a war!
Feeling panic in his heart, Jixiu said goodbye to his friends and hurried back to the big house on the edge of the inner city.
He walked through the courtyard gate and rushed into the house in a hurry. He shouted “Dad”, but no one answered. Then he saw that his eldest brother, who had moved out, had returned home!
The whole family was in the hall on the first floor, dressed neatly, and several servants were carrying suitcases. The butler who was in charge looked stern… It was like they were going on a long journey.
”Brother?” Jixiu stared blankly at the middle-aged man with neatly combed hair.
Wofeer frowned slightly at his younger brother, with a hint of reprimand in his voice.
”It’s already so late and you’re still running out! Where did you go? Why did you come back just now!”
Jixiu was too lazy to answer his nonsense, walked up to him and asked directly.
”Where’s father? Where did he go?”
In his mind, his father Melvin was the backbone of the family. His old father always had a way… no matter how big a mess he made.
”He went to the Alliance,” Wu Feier looked at his panicked mother and said seriously, “Something big happened outside, you should have heard it. Anyway, please come with me to the inner city to take refuge… This is what my father meant.”
”We may have to stay there for a while until things are completely settled.”
Gness nodded quickly.
”Okay! Don’t waste any more time, let’s go.”
Those beggars and poor people are all crazy. They are usually fine, and I don’t know which idiot angered them.
When she thought of those guys with snot and stubble, she got goose bumps all over her body and felt physically uncomfortable.
Her best friend Bonnie seemed to have mentioned that something big was going to happen in Boulder City recently, and she had better prepare some daily necessities in the small room in the inner city.
Her husband had already prepared for this matter in advance, and there were enough consumer goods and food for the family for several months.
For example, milk, bread, canned food, toiletries, clean bedding, etc.
In fact, there is no need to panic.
I heard that similar things happened before. Although they didn’t experience it, their father and mother had experienced it.
And according to past experience, everyone finally got through it safely.
If you really don’t want to wait, you can also find a hibernation capsule to sleep for a year or two, but the cryogenic hibernation will make your skin dry, and you have to take good care of it after waking up.
Alyssa’s face was full of worry.
Unlike her mother, she didn’t hate those people outside, but she was a little worried, worried about her father and those people…
I don’t know if my father is okay.
Just now, standing in front of the window on the top floor, she saw a lot of people gathered on the street, walking towards her house aggressively.
It was not like this a month and a half ago.
At that time, people did not even dare to look up at them, not to mention anger written on their faces…
However, the thing she was most worried about finally happened.
Just like what she said to her father at the celebration, he could not even see their eyes, so how could he know whether those eyes were written with respect or hatred?
If only her father had listened to her words seriously at that time, instead of treating those words as a child’s naivety.
But now, it might be too late to say these things.
This settlement has finally reached the last step.
This time it is really too late…
”We have to leave here…” Looking at his worried sister, Jixiu squatted down and stared at the gem-like eyes, stuffed the rag doll into her hands, and said softly, “Don’t worry, our friends in the militia will take care of it… We will be back soon.” ”
Well…”
Alyssa nodded silently and held the rag doll tightly in her hand.
The family left the house from the backyard door and hurried towards the inner city under the cover of the old housekeeper and six servants.
In fact, they should have left long ago.
Warfield couldn’t help but curse his damn brother in his heart.
This kid has been a little mentally unstable since he came back from Utopia. He should have persuaded his father to take him to see a doctor.
Recently, this kid seems to have made an S coin, which almost gave him a heart attack.
But compared with the piles of gunpowder barrels in Boulder City, that is actually the most insignificant one…
Looking at the increasingly serious situation on the street, Warfield frowned, and suddenly a gunshot rang out, scaring him to lower his head immediately.
The screams were like a sudden rainstorm, shattered on the nearby streets, followed by overwhelming roars and shouts, which even drowned out the sudden gunshots for a while.
Jixiu was startled by the gunshot, and when he came to his senses, he realized that the gunshot was actually quite far away from here.
He cursed in shock.
”Damn, who is shooting in the city? Are you trying to kill yourself?”
”Shut up!”
Warfield cursed, turned around to look at his panicked sister and mother, and shouted at the frightened butler and servants.
”Run!!!”
