Chapter 279 Another discovery
"Captain Qiao wants to recruit Yan Zijin to join the gang?"
Xiang Heng noticed the emotion on Qiao Yu's face and understood something in his heart.
Qiao Yu said nothing, but looked up at Xiang Heng, and that look said everything.
Xiang Heng raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly, "If Captain Qiao can trust me, why not leave this matter to me as well."
Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Captain Xiang is sure?"
Xiang Heng also raised his eyebrows, "I dare not say [-]%, but I am still [-]% certain."
Qiao Yu's eyebrows relaxed, "Then I'll trouble Captain Xiang. If you need anything, just tell me."
Xiang Heng nodded, stood up with his legs propped up, and said softly: "Then Captain Qiao, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Okay." Qiao Yu also pulled Jiang Zhan to stand up.
Xiang Heng saw that Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan were ready to see him off, so he waved his hand and walked quickly to the door, "You two stay here, there is no need to see him off."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
Qiao Yu looked at the door that had been re-closed, and then slowly pulled Jiang Zhan to sit down, "We have finally found the right person for Xiang Heng."
Jiang Zhan nodded and added in a low voice: "Yan Zijin is not as loyal as Xiang Heng, so we have to give him enough benefits."
"I understand." Qiao Yu gently leaned her head on Jiang Zhan's shoulder, her voice a little lazy, "But it's a good thing."
"Because relationships maintained by interests are easier to exploit than relationships maintained by favors."
After all, there is nothing to worry about.
As long as the price is in place, the loss is your own responsibility.
Not long after Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan sat down, they heard another knock on the door.
Qiao Yu raised her head, with a complicated look on her face.
Why are you still working shifts?
"It's Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen." Jiang Zhan noticed Qiao Yu's speechlessness, a smile flashed in his eyes, he touched Qiao Yu's hair, explained, and got up to open the door.
"Tsk. What's wrong?"
As soon as Cheng Sinian walked in, he saw Qiao Yu lazily leaning on the sofa, supporting her chin with one hand, staring at the two of them.
"Why does it look like you don't welcome us?"
"No." Qiao Yu sat up slightly, "Where did you go just now? Did you find anything?"
Cheng Sinian sat down on the chair where Xiang Heng was sitting just now, then reached out to pull Luo Zhenzhen over and sat on his lap, "We just went to the market and got some news."
"You also went to the market?" Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow, "Which market did you go to?"
"We are going to Dongshi." Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What? You guys went too?"
Jiang Zhan walked back to the sofa and sat down, holding Qiao Yu in his arms again, "We went to Bei City."
"Then what did you find?" Cheng Sinian continued to ask.
"Let's talk about you first." Qiao Yu leaned in Jiang Zhan's arms as if he were boneless and said lazily.
"Okay." Cheng Sinian nodded, "We went to Dongshi and discovered something very strange."
"To be precise, it is something very unreasonable in the last days."
Qiao Yu didn't answer, but looked at Cheng Sinian without blinking, waiting for him to continue.
"We all know that after the end of the world, the most scarce supplies are water and food."
"And if we had to choose the 'best' one among the two, it would have to be water resources, right?"
"But did you know that in Dongshi, the price of drinking water is actually cheaper than food?"
"Is this reasonable?"
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan looked at each other after hearing this, with a trace of solemnity flashing on their faces.
This is indeed unreasonable.
Almost everyone knows how precious water resources are in the apocalypse.
How could the price be cheaper than food?
And in her previous life... Qiao Yu had never heard of any water sources being discovered in City A!
Qiao Yu looked slightly stern, "Have you seen the food and water they sell? Are they all normal food and water?"
"We've all seen the food. It's nothing more than instant noodles, bread, canned food and other instant foods, as well as moldy flour, rice and other food crops. Nothing special."
"As for water..." After Cheng Sinian said this, he took out a bottle of water from the space and handed it to Qiao Yu. "It didn't look like much, so we bought a bottle and brought it back."
"Compared to the moldy food, the price of this water is still expensive, but compared to fast food, it is relatively cheaper."
"And we specifically asked that all the water sold in the East Market is officially supplied."
Qiao Yu took the bottle of water, opened the cap, put it under her nose and smelled it, but didn't smell any peculiar smell.So I dipped a little more with my little finger, ready to taste it.
Just as Qiao Yu was about to put her hand into her mouth, she was stopped by Jiang Zhan on the side.
There was a trace of disapproval in Jiang Zhan's eyes, and he took the water bottle away from Qiao Yu's hand, then handed it back to Cheng Sinian again, and said expressionlessly: "Try it."
"..."
???
People say no?
Cheng Sinian's face was full of grievance and disbelief, "Brother Zhan! You are a typical example of someone of the opposite sex and inhumane!"
Jiang Zhan raised his eyebrows without changing his expression, looking like "You just know that". He still held the water in his hand, as if he was determined to wait for Cheng Sinian to take it before he would give up.
Cheng Sinian dared not speak out, but took the water like an angry little daughter-in-law, and wailed at Luo Zhenzhen with a sad face: "Daughter-in-law, they all bully me..."
Luo Zhenzhen touched Cheng Sinian's head with compassion, her expression was a little embarrassed, but her eyes were very firm, "It's okay, just taste a little. If there is any problem, Sister Qiao will definitely save you!"
"..."
It’s over, and my wife is unreliable.
This little heartless!
Cheng Sinian gave up struggling and silently took the bottle of water. Following Qiao Yu's example just now, he dipped his little finger in the water, then put it to his mouth and licked it.
"How is it?" Qiao Yu asked Cheng Sinian with concern while letting Jiang Zhan wipe her hands with disinfectant wipes.
Cheng Sinian frowned and smacked his lips, a trace of heaviness suddenly flashed across his face, "There is a faint salty smell in this water."
Salty?
The four of them looked at each other, and they all thought of the same thing.
"When we were in Dama Village..." Luo Zhenzhen pursed her lips, "Is the water... also slightly salty?"
The giant mutated plant that smells like barbecue and has meat-like fruits produces moisture by absorbing human flesh and blood.
"Could it be...that they raised that kind of mutated plant?"
Then how many people would they kill if they produced so much water?
And they still remember that the smell of that plant is hallucinogenic!
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan remained silent.
If City A really breeds that mutant plant, then all this would make sense...
Xiang Heng noticed the emotion on Qiao Yu's face and understood something in his heart.
Qiao Yu said nothing, but looked up at Xiang Heng, and that look said everything.
Xiang Heng raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly, "If Captain Qiao can trust me, why not leave this matter to me as well."
