Chapter 686: Xu Ying

"I'm very satisfied with your answer. This is a reward for you... Falcon, No.4, you two go to the other rooms in the tunnel to search for any corpses or other clues. "Qi Lin took out two chocolate energy bars and a bottle of purified water from his backpack and handed them to the little boy, and then said to the two standing aside.
The little boy took the food and water and immediately gobbled it up, apparently he had been hungry for a while.
The allowances for subsistence allowances in slums can only meet the most basic survival needs of an adult. There is absolutely no way to get enough food with quotas alone. As a minor, you can only get half of the quota. If you don’t go to work or If you find another way out, it is difficult for the residents of the slums to save a little material.
And now it's just the end of the month. The quota for the next month was about to be issued during this period. However, due to this change, the residents not only failed to obtain the materials, but also took themselves in.
Qi Lin glanced at the things in the room. The food containers were all empty, except that there were two plastic bags containing synthetic food on the side of the trash can, and the inside of the bag was scraped extremely clean.
"Aren't you afraid that what I gave you is poisonous?" Qi Lin asked him after a glance.
"Don't be afraid..." The little boy's cheeks vigorously agitated, quickly chewed up the food in his mouth and swallowed it, before continuing, "I have told you everything I know, and I have no value to you. , I don’t have any resistance in front of you. If you want to kill me, there is no need to use poison."
"..." Qi Lin suddenly felt that what he said really made sense.
He was just holding a joking mentality at first, but in the end he touched his nose on the other side.
This guy is too calm, and not only is calm, but also has an indifferent attitude towards death.
Ignoring death is not not afraid of death. On the contrary, this child cherishes his own life very much, but in the slums of the refuge, death is very commonplace-starvation, sickness, robbery, murder, everywhere... …Many times, the value of a human life is equal to the amount of edible parts on his body multiplied by the average price of human flesh on the black market.
In fact, many people in the slums have eaten human meat. After being roasted, air-dried, and marinated, the taste of this kind of meat is not much different from that of animal meat.
Human meat is very cheap, the price is only one-third of pork, and those with poor quality or offal parts, or even lower.
However, when trading or eating, although both parties know it well, no one will tell the truth about it-except for some guys with special habit, no one likes to eat their own kind, but If you think of it as the meat of other livestock, it's not so difficult to swallow.
Life in the slums is far more difficult than those rich people with worry-free food and clothing imagined. There is a shortage of supplies, epidemics are rampant, and the subsistence allowances can only barely survive. The poor can’t have enough to eat and don’t have the energy to work. Work, you can’t get additional resource points, and your life falls into an endless loop.
Had it not been for Qi Lin's ability to assemble guns, every day of his life would have been spent in hunger and cold.
Of course, all of this has improved a lot after the "Wasteland Survival Code" was enforced. However, this improvement is not because the poor people have earned resource points in the game, but because there are too many people who have been eliminated. The shortage of supplies has been alleviated. In the past three years, the allowance for subsistence allowances in slums has increased by 20% for the first time.
"What's your name?" Qi Lin took out another energy bar and handed it over.
"Xu Ying," the little boy said.
"Win? Win?"
"Yeah." The little boy nodded, "My original name was Xu Shu, a book from a book, but it was changed later."
"Why change? Is it because'winning' sounds better than'losing'?"
"Almost, my dad likes to play dice with others. Once he lost a week's food. The whole family was hungry for more than half a month. He beat me badly and said that it was my bad name. Yes, and then changed my name."
...
...
Not long after, Falcon and No. 4 returned to this room. Qi Lin said:
This tunnel has a total of 18 rooms, all of which have been searched. No other survivors were found. There were a lot of blood on the ground, but the dead body was Everyone was moved, we only found this."
Falcon took out a transparent plastic bag with four 9mm pistol shells in the bag.
"The pistols issued by the security forces of Refuge No. 444 are a semi-automatic model with a 9mm caliber. The bullet casing also has the mark of the military factory of Refuge No. 444, which is basically the work of the rebels of the Adas Consortium.
"In that case, in addition to parasites, there are some human soldiers in the rebels? At least in my impression, no parasites can use guns." said the third.
"This is not certain. According to the traces on the scene and the child's dictation, the massacre should have occurred 36 hours ago. During these thirty-six hours, no one knows what happened again." Falcon put away the plastic bag. Said.
"Wait a minute~EbookFREE.me~ It is not Qi Lin, nor No. 3 and No. 4 who are speaking, but the little boy Xu Ying.
"If you want to discuss something important, I think I can avoid it first. I don't want to be silenced by you because I know too much." The little boy looked at Qi Lin and said.
"...This kid is quite funny." A rare smile appeared on Falcon's face.
"Okay," Qi Lin nodded, took out half of the water and food in his backpack, and put it on the ground, "This is food and water for three days. During these three days, you will stay here obediently. , Don’t leave, if someone comes, hide—"
"If I was accidentally caught, and they asked about you? Can I say it?"
"Yes, if that happens, then the things you know are no longer secrets. If you can save your life, tell whoever you want to tell. But there is one thing I have to do. I’m telling you, not everyone is so trustworthy like us. It’s normal to give you a shot after emptied of what you know."
"Okay." Xu Ying nodded, put away the food on the floor, and retreated to the corner of the room.
But Qi Lin and the others quickly left Xu Ying's residence.
"One thing must be understood. What is the relationship between the rebellious Adas high-level... and the mastermind?" Qi Lin said as he walked, "No. 3, you should remember the structure of Vault 444. I need you. Find a safe route to the'Melin' food processing plant."
