At the same time, in the wasteland world.
Qin Yourong and eight others gathered again in the basement of Mr. Fei's villa.
Everyone was holding a bottle of mineral water that Chen Yan had left behind, and they were observing the clean and transparent water in the bottle with great curiosity.
They had never seen such clean water as long as they could remember!
Even though they live in this relatively stable villa area, their living conditions are much better than those of many survivors. Everyone's home has a special water purification device, but the contaminated water will still be slightly yellow even after purification, and emit an unpleasant rust smell.
Except for Mr. Fei, everyone else had only heard of the zero-pollution water they were holding in their hands.
I've almost never even seen it, let alone drank it...
Of course, Qin Yourong had already removed the plastic packaging on the mineral water bottles in advance.
Others don’t care where the water comes from. They only care whether they can really drink it regularly in the future.
Qin Yourong couldn't help but smile when Maomao asked this question in a rather naive manner.
He reached out and rubbed Maomao's hair lovingly, and said, "Pollution-free water is so precious. All of us are awakeners, although most of us are only level one awakeners, but we still have some tolerance for polluted water.
At least after being purified, the contaminated water won't have any effect on us. It just tastes and smells a bit bad, but it's not unbearable. So, this zero-pollution water... I actually want to trade it."
Bai Han opened the bottle cap, sniffed the scent of mineral water along the bottle mouth, and an expression of great enjoyment appeared on his face.
Then he said in embarrassment, "Rongrong, zero-pollution water is hard to trade, at least not in our area. In the Blackthorn Camp, which is closest to us, I'm afraid no one can afford zero-pollution water except the chairman and a few directors of the Blackthorn Company. But trading with the Blackthorn Company is too dangerous, and it's easy to be robbed."
What Bai Han said was obviously true.
So everyone in the room turned their heads and looked at Mr. Fei again, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Mr. Fei’s full name is Fei Changyuan. Before the outbreak of the Cataclysm, this name was the top figure in the field of artificial intelligence in the world and was considered the future of artificial intelligence.
However, after the catastrophe broke out, the whole world had no future, and no one paid attention to this name anymore. Like all the survivors who barely survived, the name became the most dispensable code name.
When a person can't even fill his stomach, if you talk to him about artificial intelligence, he will think you are mentally retarded.
"If you really want to trade, you can. Just mix the purified contaminated water with this zero-pollution water according to the correct ratio. However, while you'll get a lot of water, the value of that water will be greatly reduced. It's fine for emergency transactions, but it's not suitable for all uses."
As Fei Changyuan spoke, he unscrewed the bottle cap and then took a sip of water down his throat.
The next second, an expression of nostalgia and reminiscence appeared on Fei Changyuan's face.
He sighed, "It's been fifty years. The last time I drank water like this was before the catastrophe. I never thought I'd be able to savor it again in this lifetime. Rongrong, you just said that Xiao Chen went to prepare a new batch of supplies. Before he left, he left you a lot of this zero-pollution water? A lot...how much is that?"
Qin Yourong shrugged and said, "More than 350 bottles."
"Ah? So many?!" Bai Han was a little dumbfounded.
The others also looked at each other in bewilderment. They were completely unprepared for the number Qin Yourong said.
Just now, when Qin Yourong said that Chen Yan had left behind a lot of zero-pollution water, they thought it would be an exaggeration to have dozens of bottles.
After all, it's zero-pollution water! Its value is staggering! Even a few bottles, let alone dozens, would be a huge bonus.
Unexpectedly, the number of bottles sold was not just a few dozen, but directly in the hundreds, reaching a total of 350 bottles?!
"Yes, excluding the nine bottles we have now, there are more than 350 bottles. So don't feel bad about the water in your hands. Drink it all and taste the taste of zero-pollution water. This is Chen Yan's gift. I brought it here not just for you to see."
Qin Yourong said with a smile.
When Maomao, the youngest, heard this, he cheered immediately, tilted his neck back, opened his mouth and took a big gulp.
After drinking almost one-third of the water in the bottle, he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
He looked at Qin Yourong with shining eyes and said excitedly, "Sister Rongrong, this is so delicious! So the water before the catastrophe was so delicious? Sister Rongrong! You must tie Brother Chen Yan down! If we can drink water like this often in the future, how happy will our lives be?!"
If you, Rongrong, can't hold Brother Chen Yan back by yourself, why don't we let Sister Hanhan join you? Hanhan and you have completely different styles. If you two work together, you'll definitely confuse Brother Chen Yan!"
"You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Han slapped Maomao on the back of his head.
The others couldn't help laughing. Although they thought it was nonsense, they instinctively fell into deep thought for a moment about Maomao's sudden suggestion.
Fei Changyuan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back to himself.
He said, "That Chen Yan, whose identity is unknown and whose origins are mysterious. He was able to produce over 300 bottles of zero-pollution water at once, and he didn't seem to care much about it, essentially giving it to Rongrong for free. This kind of resource acquisition ability is something that even large forces cannot possess.
I'm afraid only the five top powers can afford such luxury. But even for the five top powers, to have such authority, one must be a high-ranking figure, right? But... according to Rongrong, Chen Yan was not even an Awakener before, which is very strange..."
Having said that, Fei Changyuan glanced at Qin Yourong and continued, "I can sense that both Rongrong and Chen Yan are trying hard to cover up something, but that's not important. Let me emphasize here that since Chen Yan has a secret that he doesn't want us to know, then no one is allowed to explore it!
As long as he can bring us materials that we lack or even couldn't get before, he is one of us! Not only can each of us not explore his secrets, but we must also help him cover them up! The bigger his secrets, the more benefits we can gain! Therefore, no one is allowed to arouse his resentment! "
