Chapter 44 Idiot
He Rui saw the protagonist's eyes fixed on the supplies, thinking that this guy might be shocked by the scale and quantity of the supplies.
The amount of supplies is indeed huge, and I wonder if the protagonist's territory can hold them all.
Thinking about getting this guy to agree to be the warehouse manager, He Rui's tone became extremely pleasant, "Brother Ji! I'm leaving all the supplies in this warehouse in your hands!"
As long as it doesn’t deteriorate, you will be full for the rest of your life.
In particular, what he bought were basically military-grade foods with a long shelf life and water sources with a long shelf life.
Most of the food he wants is packaged meals that can be heated and eaten right away, or canned food that can be eaten directly from the lid.
Although drinking water is more expensive than ordinary mineral water or purified water available, it has the advantage of long shelf life, with the longest shelf life being fifty years.
He Rui looked at the protagonist beside him, who was staring at the supplies motionlessly, with relief, and a sentence that fit the current situation popped up in his mind. My son, this is the kingdom I have built for you.
Of course he didn't dare say this.
Ji Changqing had a gloomy face.
My eyes fell on the face of the guy standing next to me. Although I could only see his eyes, I could feel that he was happy. My heart suddenly felt a pang of pain.
After the end of the world, there are countless examples of relatives turning against each other and killing each other for supplies.
Human nature is supposed to be the most untouchable thing.
He died because of this.
He had seen examples of humans exchanging their own children for food and using bones to cook when faced with extreme hunger and extreme environments.
So he couldn't understand why the guy in front of him was so indifferent to supplies.
Don’t you have any idea of the importance of supplies? Aren’t you worried that he will take them away?
Or is it that he is just too stupid to have any idea?
Ji Changqing's dark eyes stared at the clear eyes of the person in front of him. He frowned tightly, pursed his lips and said nothing.
This man's attitude, compared to what he had experienced before, was that just a few boxes of expired food led to his death.
...His death was like a joke.
"What are you looking at? Brother Ji, why are you mute again?" He Rui asked.
Ji Changqing looked quietly at the fool who asked him the question, and a reasonable answer came to his mind.
This person definitely has never experienced hunger or suffering from disasters, so he looks down on supplies and trusts others so easily.
When this guy also experiences the famine and water shortage after the apocalypse, this idiot will understand the importance of supplies and will regret entrusting him with the safekeeping of those supplies.
After figuring it out, Ji Changqing's stern face revealed a faint smile that did not reach his eyes.
He raised his hand and hooked the mask the man was wearing from behind his ear.
The voice spoke with undisguised malice, teasing the other party, "Aren't you afraid that I will seize these supplies?"
After saying this, he waited with interest to see an expression of panic and anxiety on the other person's face.
However, it did not turn out as he expected.
The idiot had a calm expression and was very composed.
"Originally, I was going to share half with you, but if you plan to take it all, you won't be able to finish it even if it expires. How many stomachs do you have?
Besides, your other clothes and equipment won't fit you either. We can buy you some. It's not like we won't buy you some. There are still more than 20 days left. As for food and water, can you share some with me?
How about this? You take all of this, and then I buy some more and put them in your territory. The ones I buy later will belong to me, and these will belong to you now. What do you think?
He Rui said that he would discuss it in detail.
He felt that the protagonist might really have become jealous after seeing so many supplies at once.
But to be honest, this guy really can't finish the food even if he dies of fullness. Unless this person is so bad that he would rather let the food rot than share a bite with him, and would rather watch him starve to death, the supplies in this person's hands will only go in and not out.
...
Ji Changqing looked a little surprised.
Even if it was robbed, it still needs to be put into his domain?
He was somewhat unable to understand the other party's logic.
Isn’t this idiot afraid that he will steal money and kill people, and all the supplies will be seized?
Do you think he was just joking?
Ji Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and disintegrated the mask in his hand out of thin air to demonstrate it to the other party.
"It seems you don't quite understand that I can devour matter and use it to expand the volume of my domain."
"Fuck!" He Rui's expression could no longer be suppressed, and his eyes were full of disgust.
He said in disbelief, "So you swallowed the mask I wore? It's so dirty, it's all wet with the steam I exhaled. I was about to throw it in the trash. Brother Ji, can you be a little cleaner? Do you swallow anything in your domain?"
“…”
Ji Changqing's expression froze.
He pursed his lips and said coldly, "My point is, no matter how much supplies there are, I can devour them all and exchange them for nutrients to expand my territory.
Are you confident in storing your supplies with me? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
"Just swallow it if you want. Can I dig your throat to make you spit it out again..."
He Rui curled his lips, not knowing what the protagonist was trying to do and what nonsense his questions were.
Don’t employ people you doubt, and trust people you employ. The most important thing about people is trust.
Besides, he had already brought in such a grown-up person like the protagonist, and now he couldn't be driven away. What else could he do?
If supplies are gone, we can just buy more.
Rich, very rich.
Ji Changqing frowned and looked at the fool, feeling upset.
I don't want to continue communicating with this idiot anymore.
"If you want to swallow it, just swallow about half of it, okay? It can be considered as my protection fee.
But there's so much material, don't go too far, just take what you can. You'll need to eat and drink later, and you need to think about the future. If you only focus on increasing the size of your realm now, then we won't have to eat in the future.
You should at least leave enough food for us."
He Rui found the topic again and tried to persuade him a few times, fearing that this guy had really gone crazy and only thought about becoming stronger without making any long-term plans, and was just living his life.
The other party looked at him silently for a while before answering with a cold face, "This is the second time, I won't repeat it again.
I don't need food or water.
Within this realm, I will not die of thirst or hunger."
"Ah?" He Rui raised his brows.
Thinking back on the experience of delivering meals to the protagonist over the past two days, I suddenly understood what was going on.
"Oh! No wonder you haven't eaten. I thought you were on a hunger strike out of sadness... Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
He Rui was angry.
He resisted the urge to curse, thinking that this guy was truly immoral.
If you don't want to eat, at least tell him at the first meal so that he won't have to eat so much leftovers and cold rice.
After being angry for a while, he found that the protagonist was still staring at him silently.
He Rui suddenly realized.
It turns out that what this person said before was not nonsense.
It turns out that this guy can really swallow up all the strategic materials without any scruples, and use them to expand his territory, leaving nothing behind.
After all, this guy doesn't need to eat or drink.
You don't need it, so just ignore it?
He Rui was a little anxious and thought that this wouldn't work.
If the protagonist is like a bottomless pit that can never be filled, consuming all the supplies he has until all his supplies are used up, then he has no need to live anymore.
He Rui jumped up and stretched out his hand to catch the protagonist, but he failed and was hit on the back of his hand with a crisp sound.
