Chapter 394 Sudden Blizzard
Speaking of investment, Cheng Yiyi looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
She suffered a lot when she went out this time. The Sixth Army was also severely weakened, and they themselves were not that wealthy... This was adding insult to injury.
She thought that the coming days would be difficult and she would have to tighten her belt. Unexpectedly, Wang Tao took advantage of their absence to directly attract so much investment to the Sixth Army!
Although in name, everyone's investment in the Sixth Legion was for exploring the caves, and was not given to the Sixth Legion in vain.
But the money must be used to be effective. The method used was naturally to increase the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Army.
So it can be said that these investments will allow the Sixth Army to increase its combat power.
Of course, when exploring the caves, the Sixth Legion will share the profits with those investors. Cheng Yiyi is definitely willing, after all, this is a win-win situation.
Before she left the city, she never expected to attract so much investment. After being trapped, she even felt that even if they could finally escape and ascend to heaven, they would most likely lag behind in exploring the caves. People - they have been missing for so long, no one is willing to invest in them, and their own funds are not rich...
"Thank you so much! When we explore the cave together, you Enjoy priority distribution! ”
Cheng Yiyi solemnly thanked him.
“You’re welcome.”
Wang Tao waved his hand, but he did not refuse the priority allocation rights.
"That..."
Cheng Yiyi didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Tao asked strangely.
"Do you still have those rejuvenating potions? I also want to buy some..."
Cheng Yiyi said a little embarrassed.
Judging from Wang Tao's actions, the quantity of his potion should be relatively small. And they were all sold to those who invested in the Sixth Army. She didn’t know if Wang Tao still had...
"Hey, what did I say? Just give some to you, no money required."
Wang Tao waved his hand.
The cost of the rejuvenating potion is extremely low, and it is not difficult to make, so there is no problem in giving some to Cheng Yiyi.
"Huh? Give it to me for free? Isn't that bad...Although we have a good relationship, brothers still have to settle accounts..."
Cheng Yi waved his hand quickly.
If Wang Tao just gave her some medicine personally, she would accept it. But she was planning to buy the potion in the name of the Sixth Legion. If she didn't need money to give it to her, then the favor would be too big...
"No matter how polite you are, they are all worthless things... But if you feel bad, I have some other potions here, can you buy some?"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Huh? Other potions?"
Cheng Yiyi was a little confused. Could it be that in addition to the magical potion of rejuvenation, Wang Tao has other similar things?
"That's it..."
Wang Tao took out a strength potion, a defense potion, a running potion, etc. from his pocket, and explained their functions to Cheng Yiyi in detail.
He has a lot of potions in his hand, and he can't even use them all.
However, except for the rejuvenation potion, which can be made in almost unlimited quantities, other potions are limited by core materials. They cannot be made without materials.
So Wang Tao has no intention of selling these potions on a large scale, otherwise no matter how much they are, there won’t be enough to sell. But small-scale sales are still possible, such as selling to acquaintances like Cheng Yiyi.
Although the Sixth Legion is relatively poor, it has attracted a lot of sponsorship in the past two days, so it is no longer poor.
After listening to Wang Tao's introduction, Cheng Yiyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
She thought that the rejuvenating potion was magical enough, but she didn’t expect that there was such a potion that specifically enhanced combat power and had no side effects!
“I want it!”
Cheng Yiyi spoke immediately.
She must get these potions. With these potions, she and her team's combat effectiveness can be increased by at least 30%!
"You can take it back first to try the effect..."
Wang Tao took out some potions and gave them to Cheng Yiyi. If he was satisfied, it would not be too late to give him money.
“Okay!”
Cheng Yiyi didn’t refuse. She also wanted to know whether these potions were as magical as Wang Tao said. It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Wang Tao, but that she was also very fond of them. I want to see it with my own eyes.
"I originally wanted to see if you were injured, but in the end I took so many good things from you..."
Cheng Yiyi scratched her head in embarrassment, and then said excitedly .
“But I can guarantee that when we go to the catacombs, our strength will definitely not be at the bottom, but at least at an intermediate level! But the only pity is that I only have two Night Stars in my hand. The devil's heart...and this is what you get here, otherwise you wouldn't have one at all..."
Speaking of the night devil's heart, Cheng Yiyi's face looked a little envious and embarrassed.
Although she has never been to the catacombs, there is definite news that the catacombs are a very suitable setting for the Night Demon. And since the number of people allowed to enter is limited, but there is no limit to the external power of the Night Demon Heart, those with more Night Demon Hearts will be more suitable for the cave...
"Huh? Are you going out this time for the Night Demon's heart?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised. But it is reasonable. The Night Demon Heart is very expensive nowadays, and it is indeed very useful, so it is worth taking some risks for the Night Demon Heart.
"Yeah... I got reliable news that a night demon lair was discovered in the wild, and there seemed to be a fourth-level night demon lord inside. So I sent people there, and the process of hunting down the night demon went smoothly. , but after destroying the Night Demon's lair, he suddenly encountered a corpse Chao, that team was trapped...I immediately led the troops to rescue, but due to incomplete information, I was also trapped. If you hadn't come...for this night devil heart, we almost died Get a ride in..."
Cheng Yiyi explained with a wry smile.
"Then you are actually pretty lucky, you can get two Night Demon hearts at once."
Wang Tao comforted.
Under normal circumstances, the probability of encountering two Night Demon Lords in a lair is very low. Cheng Yiyi was indeed lucky to be able to get two Night Demon hearts.
But Cheng Yiyi shook her head.
"There is only one Night Demon Lord in that Night Demon lair, and the other heart was bought before I went out..."
"Bought it? How much did it cost?"
Wang Tao asked subconsciously.
"850,000, it's too expensive..."
Speaking of this number, Cheng Yiyi looked pained.
The Sixth Legion was already poor, and they became even poorer after spending so much money all at once. Fortunately, Wang Tao attracted a wave of sponsorship...
When Wang Tao heard this number, He raised his eyebrows.
Why does this number feel so familiar...
"Where did you buy it?"
Wang Tao asked again.
"I bought it at the research institute from a researcher named Qu..."
"..."
Wang Tao said that this number sounded familiar. It turned out that Cheng Yiyi bought it from Qu Shilin. In other words, what she bought was Wang Tao's Night Demon Heart...
Opening his mouth, Wang Tao decided not to tell Cheng Yiyi about this. However, Wang Tao said a few more words about Night Demon's heart.
“I still have some Night Demon Hearts in my hand, I should be able to use them later.”
Wang Tao was naturally talking about the fifth-level Night Demon Hearts. He could no longer see the strength of the fourth-level Night Demon Hearts. On.
“Hmm!”
Cheng Yiyi naturally knew that Wang Tao had the Heart of the Night Demon in his hand. After all, Wang Tao had shown it at the exchange meeting before. But she didn’t know that Wang Tao was talking about the heart of the fifth-level Night Demon...
“By the way, do you have another iron beetle?”
Wang Tao was communicating last time At the meeting, in addition to the Daredevil heart, there was also an iron beetle on display.
"Yes." Wang Tao nodded, and then asked, "Do you want it?"
Gu Yun expressed that he wanted to buy this iron beetle, and Wang Tao was also interested. But his relationship with Cheng Yiyi is better after all. If Cheng Yiyi wants it, he can sell it to Cheng Yiyi at a discount.
But Cheng Yiyi just shook her head in envy.
“I want it, but I can’t afford it... Although the Sixth Legion has now obtained a lot of sponsorship, the money has to be spent wisely. The cave is not suitable for the performance of the iron beetles. With this money, it is better to Buy the heart of the Night Demon..."
Since Cheng Yiyi has said so, Wang Tao will not say more. Just sell this iron beetle to the city hall. If they have money, they can sell it for a high price.
Cheng Yiyi chatted with Wang Tao for a while, then stood up and left.
"I have to go back... I was supposed to go out to find you at dawn, and I also borrowed some soldiers from other legions... But now that you have all returned safely, I have to return the soldiers quickly. Give it to them, otherwise the money will be deducted... And speaking of which, I have done nothing and lost several meals!”
Although she said she was at a loss, Cheng Yiyi didn't look happy at all.
"Haha, okay, I'll give you a treat... As for the 'mastermind behind the scenes', if you can't find it or don't find it, forget it, but if there is one, please be sure to let me know."
Anyway, Wang Tao is also serving in the Sixth Army, so we should pay more attention to this matter.
“No problem!”
Cheng Yiyi nodded heavily.
"Is it snowing?"
After the two came out, Wang Tao saw something like feathers floating on his head.
"It's really snow..."
Although the weather was getting colder and colder before, it was always sunny. Moreover, it hadn't snowed yet when Wang Tao came back in the middle of the night. The sudden snowfall in the second half of the night was a bit surprising.
If it were before the end of the world, Wang Tao would still prefer snow.
But now... it should be fine inside the base, after all, it is managed by the city hall, but other survivors outside the base, people like Shang Qin, may have a hard time...
Watching Cheng Yiyi drive After leaving, Wang Tao studied the snow carefully. After confirming that this was normal snow and would not bring negative effects to people, Wang Tao felt relieved. "Sleep!"
......
The next day.
Wang Tao was woken up by a crackling sound.
Today is New Year's Eve. Yesterday, the city hall notified that firecrackers will be set off in some fixed places, so that people should not panic.
Looking at Ding Yuqin curled up in his arms, Wang Tao kissed her on the forehead.
Yesterday, I promised to have a good sleep, but somehow I ended up in Ding Yuqin's room, making Ding Yuqin tired all night long. It was really embarrassing.
“Wang Tao~”
Ding Yuqin was not awakened by the firecrackers, but after Wang Tao kissed her, she hugged Wang Tao's neck in a daze.
"It's still early, sister-in-law, please sleep more."
"No~ I have to get up too..."
The two of them were in the warm bed again. After a while, Ding Yuqin let go of Wang Tao.
“Wow! It’s snowing!”
Ding Yuqin opened the curtain, looked at the silver-covered outside, and suddenly exclaimed.
“Such heavy snow!”
Wang Tao was also surprised.
It snowed only in the latter part of the night today, and it is now around eight o'clock in the morning. The snow only lasted for about four hours, and such a thick layer fell in four hours... This snow is a bit heavy!
Other people got up one after another. They all went to bed when they came back and did not go out. They didn't know that it snowed last night. Everyone was surprised to see the heavy snow outside.
The lightning rushed out all of a sudden and had fun in the snow. It also wanted to call Xiao Hei out, but Xiao Hei is a snake, so it would be good if he didn't hibernate. There was no way he would go into the snow.
Seeing the aggrieved Lightning, the kind-hearted Jiang Shixue ran out to play with it.
“I’m going to burn some firewood.”
He Jijun said.
There is no heating in the city, but there is a fireplace for burning wood. There is also a lot of firewood stored in the villa yard, which can be burned for a while.
Although they are all superpowers, have strong physical fitness, and are relatively frost-resistant, this does not mean that they are not afraid of the cold.
After the fireplace was lit, several black snakes immediately ran over, gathered around the fireplace, and rolled up their bellies comfortably...
Yang Changhong was warming up the fire while looking at it excitedly Everyone said:
"After breakfast later, let's go make a snowman?"
She only made a snowman when she was a child. Since working, she has no such leisurely mood. She really wanted to find the feeling of childhood again.
"Haha, then I will build a super big one!"
Xiang Hongbin laughed.
Others are also very interested. After all, it is a rare rest time.
“But today is New Year’s Eve, we have to prepare more food...”
Ding Yuqin also wants to make a snowman, but it’s the New Year, so she has to prepare more food to feel the New Year atmosphere. .
"It's okay to wash the dishes, but don't call me to cook or anything!"
Xiang Hongbin waved his hand repeatedly.
Then several people began to divide the work.
Wang Tao brought the information watch, and as expected, a lot of information appeared on it.
Those who wanted to buy the rejuvenating potion in Zhou Long expressed their gratitude to Wang Tao after seeing that Wang Tao agreed to sell it to them, and said that they would soon send someone over to discuss the specific price with the Spark Club. and quantity. Wang Tao is selling it in the name of Xinghuo Club, so they naturally want to negotiate with Xinghuo.
After Wang Tao replied to them all, he read Gu Yun's message again.
Gu Yun said that he had been a little busy recently, so he came over in person to talk to Wang Tao about buying iron beetles. Please Wang Tao be sure to keep the iron beetle, and they will definitely give Wang Tao a satisfactory price.
Wang Tao replied with a "good" response.
As soon as he returned, Gu Yun's voice call came over.
“Mr. Wang, have a great New Year!”
"Happy New Year to Secretary-General Gu!"
After the two exchanged greetings, Gu Yun talked about the iron beetle again, and he complained bitterly.
The first iron beetle that Wang Tao opened before was given to the city hall, and then was taken away by the Hope Research Institute. The institute said at the time that it would return it after the research was completed. The research institute dismantled the Iron Beetle and cannot put it back together!
Although the institute has also given some benefits to the city hall, iron beetles are too rare and cannot be bought now if you have money. There is nothing the city hall can do but wait.
Now I heard that there is another iron beetle here in Wang Tao. When Gu Yun lamented that Wang Tao was lucky, he thought that even if he spent more money, he would still get this iron beetle!
After all, the previous iron beetles were given to them by Wang Tao, which shows that Wang Tao does not value the iron beetles that much. As long as they show more sincerity, they should be able to handle it.
As I said before, there are various competitions within Changhe Base. Although the city hall is the manager, it may be replaced if it does not do well, not to mention that they have a committee on their head... Therefore, they also have to improve their strength, and this iron beetle represents a fourth-level combat power!
Furthermore, this fourth-level combat power is not available to just one person, but can be used by everyone! This kind of thing is very suitable for the city hall, so the city hall must spend more money to get the iron beetle.
"Mr. Wang, you must keep the iron beetle! Don't sell it to anyone else, including people in our city hall - cough, political achievements, you know... I'm too busy now I have a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year, so I don’t have time for the time being..."
Gu Yun was sincere and made it clear that if he could get Iron Beetles for the city hall, that would be a proper political achievement. He must seize this opportunity and not give it to anyone else.
Wang Tao didn't care about this, and regarded it as selling him a favor.
"By the way, there are also New Year activities. Mr. Wang must remember to attend! There is a party tonight, and we will send a special car to pick you up..."
"Don't worry, I will be there on time.”
A series of activities prepared by the city hall begin today. This has been told to Wang Tao in advance. Since Wang Tao is back and has nothing to do, he can naturally participate.
As for the party, of course Wang Tao was not allowed to perform. He was a guest sitting in the audience watching.
Wang Tao is also looking forward to what kind of performances the City Hall will put on.
After the call with Gu Yun ended, Ding Yuqin's breakfast was already ready. After a simple breakfast, Wang Tao went to build a snowman with Yang Changhong and others.
However, as the snow became heavier and heavier, everyone had no choice but to stop removing the snow. Otherwise, at this speed, the road will soon be blocked.
At the same time, the loudspeaker in the base sounded, telling people with certain abilities to remove the snow.
Although there is a lack of various snow removal machines, people with powers are generally more resistant to freezing, and there are a lot of people with powers in the city, so it is also very suitable to use human power to remove snow.
"Yesterday I was thinking about going shopping today to feel the New Year atmosphere in the base, but..."
Lan Yulian sighed helplessly.
In order to make the second New Year after the apocalypse feel like a New Year, the city hall has made a lot of preparations in advance. The streets are very lively and the atmosphere is very good, which is even more exciting than the New Year before the apocalypse.
But it suddenly snowed so heavily that there was no way to treat people on the street - not to mention people, even the red lanterns that had been hung on the trees and on the houses turned white, and even the dots Not even the red color is exposed...
"Too much snow is not a good thing..."
Wang Tao was a little helpless.
If this situation continues, it is estimated that we will not be able to go anywhere for a long time.
Snow can be removed manually in the city. But no one is taking care of it outside the base. Who knows how thick the snow will fall. When the snow accumulates, the car will be unable to move...
While Wang Tao was thinking about the situation outside, Qu Shilin suddenly called. Came over.
"Wang Tao, have you seen the snow? It's such a heavy snow!"
"...You shouldn't have just gotten up, right?"
Wang Tao looked at the time, it was almost noon.
"Ahem..."
Qu Shilin was a little embarrassed, and then quickly changed the topic.
“Let me tell you business. The snow is too heavy and I don’t know when it will stop. Subsequent travel may be troublesome... Aren’t you going to go out now? Then put your crystal energy car in Drive to the institute, we are going to modify your car for this bad weather..."
"It's so considerate! I just thought about what to do when I travel in the future, and you have a follow-up plan now. How considerate!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Hey, don't be narcissistic! Not only you, a large number of cars in the city have to be modified, you are just incidentally."
Qu Shilin joked.
When Wang Tao heard this, he frowned.
"A large number of cars in the city need to be modified?"
This is not a small project and will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. If there were just one or two heavy snowfalls, there would be no need to go through such trouble...
“Yes, a large number of cars in the city will have to be modified. Because the meteorological experts from our institute predicted that this heavy snowfall will not only be heavy, but also heavy. And it will last for a long time. It will turn into ice and snow for a month or even two months, which will cause a lot of trouble for our travel..."
"Of course, this is just a prediction, what is the specifics? It will take another two days to determine the situation, but you can start preparing in advance to be prepared! Your car is the first batch, and if it is suitable, it will be installed in large quantities..." >
“In addition to vehicle modifications, there will be a lot of troubles in the future, such as thickened cotton clothes, how to keep warm, food sources...it’s a big headache just thinking about it, but these are not my responsibility-oh, by the way, I remembered, you said you wanted to give me a food compressor last time? Can you bring it to me by the way?”
After listening to Qu Shilin's words, Wang Tao looked serious.
The ice and snow that lasts for one or two months sounds like a cold feeling all over the body.
The survivors outside the base... it’s going to be difficult this time!
Even if a person with super powers is more resistant to freezing, it does not mean that he can stay in low temperatures all the time. He will freeze to death if he stays for a long time, let alone ordinary people...
But this is not something Wang Tao can change. Even if those survivors arrived at Changhe Base, they would not be able to enter the base due to too many impurities in their bodies. The base certainly cannot risk the safety of hundreds of thousands of people to do good deeds... I can only say that I hope they can find some place to spend the winter.
"Okay, I will drive over now, and I will also bring the food compressor..."
After Wang Tao ended the call, he said to Ding Yuqin and others:
"I'm going to the research institute One trip."
"Okay, drive slower on the road, be careful of slippery roads..."
