Chapter 42 It's your turn to show off
Jiang Mi patted his shoulder and said earnestly like an elder brother: "So sometimes not being able to see clearly is not necessarily a bad thing. This is just the beginning, and the uglier things are still to come."
Jiang Xun's face turned visibly darker. He stared at her for a moment and then stretched out a hand.
Jiang Mi jumped back in shock and asked warily, "What are you doing?!"
"Sunglasses." Jiang Xun gritted his teeth.
"Actually, not really..." Jiang Mi coughed lightly and rolled his eyes to find a reason to reject his request.
After all, this was a rare opportunity to laugh at someone, so she had to seize it.
"I'll count to three, one..." Jiang Xun narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Here!" Jiang Mi took out the sunglasses and handed them to him without hesitation, with a flattering smile on his face.
Damn blood suppression!
"Tsk, you just scare me." Jiang Mi rolled his eyes secretly.
Then she watched Jiang Xun, who had been walking away with his long legs, turn around and walk back, standing directly outside the small shop, condensing a blue-purple electric ball the size of a basketball in his hand and throwing it into the shop.
With a loud bang, the whole shop collapsed.
As for the deformed one, he must have turned into a pile of ashes.
After doing all this, Jiang Xun walked forward again. Jiang Mi glanced at the small shop that was completely buried in the dust. He felt his scalp tingling and hurriedly followed Jiang Xun.
After walking for a while and turning a corner, I ran into a group of people head-on.
The leader was a burly man, whose age could not be determined. He was wrapped up tightly and held a rifle in his hand. Beside him were two men and one woman, all dressed in a dungaree-like manner and their faces could not be seen.
When they suddenly met, both parties stopped and stared at each other vigilantly.
"Were you the ones who caused the noise just now?" asked the burly man in the lead. His accent had the characteristics of P City and he seemed to be a local.
Jiang Mi glanced at the few people and replied calmly: "Is there any problem in dealing with an ugly thing?"
"Aren't you from P City?" The sturdy man's voice was a little cold. Looking at Jiang Mi's obviously sophisticated equipment, he asked suspiciously, "Are you from the country?"
"No." Jiang Mi shook his head and asked, "We are here to find someone. Have you heard of a man named Xing Shaoan?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a slightly thinner man next to the burly man said gloomily: "Brother Lei, why are you talking nonsense with them? There are only two of them. Are we afraid of them?" As he said that, he slowly raised the gun in his hand.
Jiang Mi raised his eyebrows, and said with some interest, "I advise you to give up those inappropriate thoughts."
The sturdy man called Brother Lei raised his hand to press down the gun he raised, and then said in a deep voice: "I haven't heard of it."
The people around him looked at him with some confusion, but he didn't respond in return.
Jiang Mi shrugged regretfully, "Okay."
Although it wasn't a good start, it was within expectations.
"You just want to find this person?" Brother Lei asked.
Jiang Mi felt that he seemed to want to say something, so he simply said: "Yes, how about it, can you help us find it?"
The sturdy man smiled and said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch, but you are right. I can help you find this person, but the prerequisite is whether you can give me what I need."
At this moment, Jiang Mi had a good impression of him, so he simply asked, "What do you want?"
"Water, I want clean water!" the strong man said without hesitation.
Jiang Mi's expression slightly changed. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He just straightened his expression and said, "How much do you want?"
"Fifty kilograms of water!" the strong man said decisively.
Fifty kilograms, this number is really nothing to Jiang Mi. Compared with the drinking water stored in her space, it is just a drop in the bucket, not to mention there is such a large space lake. But she cannot appear to be very relaxed.
She is very clear about the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.
Jiang Mi's thoughts raced, his brows furrowed, his tone a little cold, "You're asking for too much."
The sturdy man was silent for a moment and shifted his gaze from Jiang Mi to Jiang Xun.
He noticed something was wrong with them from the moment they appeared.
They are so clean, as if they are not living in the end times.
Not to mention that the woman was wearing a set of tight gear, the man was only wearing normal clothes, but his face was rosy and his hair was neat and tidy, and it was obvious that he often washed and dressed.
Nowadays, when water resources are severely scarce, every drop of water is life-saving. Polluted water cannot be used for washing. Even flushing the toilet is frowned upon for fear of radiation contamination. No one is willing to use the precious source of life for washing. This is an extreme waste.
So the reason why these two people are so clean, doesn’t it mean that they have a lot of clean water resources?
If they could get information about water resources from them, then this team of survivors could rest easy for a long time.
Fifty kilograms of water resources is just a test.
But I didn't expect this woman to be so perceptive.
"If you know where that person lived before the apocalypse, you can narrow the scope. Naturally, you don't need 50 kilograms, but you only provide a name." The sturdy man said in a deep voice, "Before the apocalypse, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone with just a name. After the apocalypse, information is blocked, and it is even more difficult to find someone. I am very familiar with Jinhua District and I also know other survivor teams. I can help you find out. Fifty kilograms is already fair."
"After all, others are not obliged to help you find it."
Jiang Mi's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, with a flash of contemplation in his eyes, and then he said calmly: "We need to discuss this."
The sturdy man glanced at the sky and did not stop him. He just said calmly: "You'd better hurry up. The night in P City is extremely dangerous."
Jiang Mi ignored them, glanced at Jiang Xun, turned around and walked away. After making sure that those people couldn't hear them, he whispered, "Brother, what do you think?"
Jiang Xun said in a deep voice: "I can give you water, but I can't give it so easily."
What Jiang Mi could think of, he could naturally think of as well.
Jiang Mi bit her lip and thought quickly. A vague idea gradually took shape. "Just giving water will only make those people want to kill us. They won't even help us search seriously. So what if we add the water from the space lake?"
When Jiang Xun heard this, he frowned slightly, with a look of obvious disapproval. After all, the space lake water was too important.
But then, he seemed to understand Jiang Mi's idea, "Are you trying to control them with the space lake water?"
"If they want benefits, then I will give them benefits, but we must be in the dominant position. Now we are the only ones who control the method that can allow people to perfectly advance and become immune to distortion. They can't possibly refuse." Jiang Mi curled his lips slightly, his eyes gradually brightening.
"We'll use the space lake water to make them rely on us, but we have to subdue them. So, it's up to you next, brother. It's your turn to show off."
