Chapter 4: Bank Gold Bars

Do you believe it? Jiang Chen is now only filled with a faint, chilling fear. He even entertained the thought of grabbing the gold and teleporting back to the modern era, leaving everything here behind, regardless of whether it is the end of the world or a wasteland. This few kilograms of gold would be enough for him to live like a millionaire

A monster that can instill fear in this guy? Jiang Chen finds it terrifying just to think about it

Upon receiving this dark crystal, a faint yet palpable sensation of energy tugged at his right hand. Jiang Chen was greatly shocked; this object could actually charge the wristband

What can approximately be exchanged for 1 point of Yajing?

Although 10 points of Yajing is indeed worth a can, it also depends on what kind of can it is... Most of the cans in Liuding Town contain the flesh of mutated fish, and many even have sand mixed in. However, this is already the best situation... It is important to know that some cans may even contain human flesh...

"Curry chicken pieces, braised beef... these delicacies, I am tasting for the first time in my life," Sun Jiao said, her voice lingering as she cast a meaningful glance at Jiang Chen before shifting her gaze. "In the wasteland, itinerant merchants typically use mutated cattle to transport goods. I was fortunate enough to have a meal of mutated beef once. The dry texture was already very satisfying for me"

Through the moldy wooden window, Jiang Chen faintly saw the shadow of Sun Jiao walking down the street. After confirming with the binoculars placed aside, Jiang Chen got up, went downstairs, opened the door of the villa, and let Sun Jiao in

1 o'clock in the morning?" Jiang Chen furrowed his brows in confusion

He suddenly felt a sense of fear; for Sun Jiao, he was nothing more than a mere opponent. If she were to covet his "wealth," she could likely eliminate him in an instant

The capacity of the energy bar will increase with the number of charging cycles

I see that you quite enjoy drinking. " Being gazed at like this by a beautiful woman, Jiang Chen began to feel a bit embarrassed, so he smiled and said.

Where can I find these two items? The matter of explosives is rather difficult; it is quite convenient to purchase food in a harmonious society, but obtaining such prohibited items is essentially impossible. After all, Jiang Chen's identity is merely that of an ordinary citizen. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen asked.

There was no expression on his face, and Jiang Chen made an effort to appear less frightened.

Perhaps he has bet correctly; Sun Jiao does not intend to plot against him

Many survivor bases exist, such as Liuding Town. Sun Jiao displayed a rather nostalgic expression, her gaze drifting towards the window. "That is considered one of the more interesting places in this wasteland..."

You..." Sun Jiao stiffly turned her head and spoke in a trembling, dazed tone

Jiang Chen glanced at her arm, the slender lines barely revealing any curves of muscle

"This is the thing." Sun Jiao casually pulled out a piece of dark green crystal from her pocket, "This piece has about 37 points of sub-crystal content left, and it can be detected using Epaid. This thing is quite troublesome; only those powerful mutated creatures can condense such biological crystals at the back of their heads. If possible, I really hope to avoid encountering those guys..." This thing is quite troublesome; only those powerful mutated creatures can condense such biological crystals at the back of their heads. If possible, I really hope to avoid encountering those guys...

Hmm? This is..." Sun Jiao took the cola thrown by Jiang Chen and stared blankly at it

Perhaps someone once lived here, having repaired some of the usable appliances. However, judging by the thickness of the dust on the floor, those events occurred a very long time ago

However, Jiang Chen did not show any expression on his face; he merely played with Yajing in his hand absentmindedly before returning it to Sun Jiao

At this moment, he has come to understand that he has still imagined this world too simplistically

This evening, we will have scrambled eggs with tomatoes

After checking the energy bar on his wrist, Jiang Chen was taken aback; the energy consumed during this traversal was only 40%.

However, perhaps it was due to greed, or perhaps it was due to an inexplicable arrogance. After a fierce internal struggle, Jiang Chen ultimately calmed down and suppressed the thought of escape deep within his heart

Your naivety has indeed reached a troubling degree... However, I do not dislike it

Hearing Sun Jiao say this, Jiang Chen gradually breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of the tension that had been strung tightly in his heart

Sun Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and casually tossed her backpack to the side. Although there wasn't much gold, it still weighed a few kilograms. When combined with the weapons, equipment, and supplies she was carrying, Sun Jiao was almost trekking with a load of 20 kilograms. There was still some distance to the bank.

Sun Jiao, standing in front of the refrigerator in a daze, even forgot to refute any titles like 'employee', simply staring blankly at the tomatoes in the refrigerator... and the eggs

The gold you wanted." As Jiang Chen received the bag tossed by Sun Jiao, his hands felt a slight weight, yet his heart was filled with joy; this was no light load, likely weighing several kilograms. However, this several-kilogram bag of gold was tossed over by this woman as if it were a crumpled piece of paper, which was indeed somewhat frightening.

These fresh ingredients were all packed in by Jiang Chen before her return

The helplessness and numbness conveyed in those words left Jiang Chen feeling a sense of suffocation. After swallowing, he was at a loss for words for a long while

As Sun Jiao reached the door, she suddenly turned her head back and said

Gulu gulu... Ha! Refreshing! This damn weather is making me sweat while you go outside to transport gold, it's really killing me. Huh, is it still cold?" Sun Jiao cast a suspicious glance at Jiang Chen.

Oh? Jiang Chen shrugged nonchalantly; he wasn't particularly concerned about the fractional part of those 3 subcrystals.

Sitting quietly on the luxurious sofa, Jiang Chen enjoyed the kind of luxury that is hard to come by in this world, lighting a cigarette and waiting for the passage of time

The refrigerator in the kitchen is still functional, and surprisingly, the solar power generation equipment of this villa is intact. Jiang Chen was not lying about this; although most appliances were damaged by the EMP, the solar power system on the roof of this villa has unexpectedly survived, and the refrigerator is also in good condition

Sighing, Sun Jiao walked towards the kitchen

Don't ask for now, I know you must have many questions in your mind. We will discuss this issue at dinner, but for now... um... can you cut tomatoes

I am truly exhausted; the bank hall is filled with zombies. I have nearly depleted two batteries worth of ammunition just to clear out those disgusting creatures. The bank vault is sealed with thick steel plates, and I cannot open it. These gold bars were found in a room called the VIP room

Since you are my employer, in addition to ensuring your safety, I believe I also have the obligation to guarantee that you are not deceived by those with ulterior motives. Well, how should I put it, if someone covets your possessions, it would also be a trouble for me. In the future, if you engage in transactions with others, it would be best to bring me along

Is it far from here

... ...

One-tenth of a box of meat cans or half a box of inferior cans, 10 nutritional supplements, 1 C-type battery, or 3 energy weapon magazines. There are too many things that can be exchanged; this type of energy substance can serve as currency in many survivor bases. You could even find a woman in Liuding Town to spend the night with. Sun Jiao cast a teasing glance at Jiang Chen, and teasing this little man gave her an indescribable sense of pleasure. You could even find a woman in Liuding Town to spend the night with.

"Deal." Sun Jiao unhesitatingly threw the Yajing back into Jiang Chen's hands, but as if she thought of something, she sighed and hesitated to add, "If you ask me, although I know you consume quite a bit, this exchange is definitely a loss. If you trade like this with others in the future, you will surely be seen as an easy target to exploit..."

"Forget it, I guess you wouldn't tell me where you got it from anyway," Sun Jiao said, giving a dismissive wave of her hand as she casually tossed the empty can to the ground. "So, what’s next? If we want to blow open the vault and transport the gold here, we will probably need the help of professionals. At the very least... we need powerful explosives or highly skilled hackers to crack the electronic lock"

Continue

Ahem, 37 points of crystal, how about I exchange 4 cans with you

Is this perhaps... a tsundere?

It is not too far, but somewhat expensive. Sun Jiao narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Apart from the local residents who own 'real estate' and the 'laborers' who have lost their freedom, tourists need to pay 1 unit of energy in the form of Yajing to enter, or an equivalent value in other forms."

Excuses, beliefs, and even most of Jiang Chen's wording are false, merely intended to avoid unnecessary trouble and danger

Jiang Chen shook his head; this was undoubtedly good news, but with his knowledge, he certainly could not explain this phenomenon. Let it be as it is.

However, the emotion of that moment was indeed real

Otherwise, she had many opportunities to eliminate me, and there was no need to drag it out until now The heavy burden that had weighed on Jiang Chen's heart was finally lifted

"... Don't look at me with that kind of gaze! Damn, I have goosebumps, cough cough." Sun Jiao hurriedly avoided Jiang Chen's gaze and darted into the kitchen. However, not long after, a shocked scream was heard, "Ah! How, how is this possible? The refrigerator!"

Do not eat canned food anymore, tonight we will have fresh vegetables! To celebrate... celebrate my first employee! As if to vent the joy in his heart, Jiang Chen let out a hearty laugh and rushed into the kitchen

For Jiang Chen, stepping onto the dust-laden precious wooden floor was merely a fleeting moment

Leaving the stunned Sun Jiao behind, Jiang Chen wore a smug smile as he walked towards the refrigerator and took out several tomatoes and eggs

She slightly pursed her lips, yet Sun Jiao did not say anything. After a brief moment of silence, she returned to her usual bold demeanor, tore open the can, and took a big gulp of the cola in her hand

I trust you. " Jiang Chen's voice was very soft

In that fleeting moment, Jiang Chen unexpectedly discovered that this savage woman was not so detestable after all... rather, she was somewhat endearing

Do you believe? Miss Sun Jiao scoffed slightly, yet the trace of indescribable emotion hidden beneath her brows could not be concealed. However, this distant word had long since vanished in the desolate land filled with hunger and death. At this moment, although Jiang Chen uttered this enchanting word, the muscles in Sun Jiao's face merely instinctively expressed disdain
