Hot potato

I want blue crystal.

This is the first step for Tom to realize his idea of manufacturing new armor.

However, even if there was a piece in front of him, he couldn't bring it into the shelter.

Tom pondered, went in and found clues about his sister, then left the shelter, took the crystals they had hidden in the lamp post, and made his own armor and weapons before setting off.

Yang Caishan said there was a way to bring the crystal inside, but Tom couldn't figure out how she would bring it in.

After driving for a while, Yang Caishan asked to stop and said she wanted to find a place on the roadside for convenience.

Tom had no choice but to get off the car and take her to the back, with his back to her, to guard her.

After a while, Yang Caishan finally agreed. When Tom turned around and saw her blushing, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Your face is very red, are you running a fever?"

"No." Yang Caishan lowered her head with some embarrassment and walked back to the co pilot with small steps. She was very careful when getting on the car, as if she had some leg problems.

Why did you hurt your leg while using the restroom?

Tom is a bit strange.

The car was speeding on the flat square and soon arrived at one of the entrance gates of the shelter.

Above the gate, there are four cannons and several heavy machine guns. There are always people on duty here. Once a creature invades, they will fully unleash their firepower and eliminate the threat outside the door.

There are still some bloodstains in front of the door. It seems that there have been biological attacks on the door in the past two days, and they have successfully eliminated them.

The heavy door slowly opened, and the electric bike that Tom and others were riding in drove in, followed by routine inspections and inspections.

Their travel task records were already registered, and after counting and collecting their personal belongings, they were arranged in a closed room, waiting for the person in charge of the task to come and receive them.

Fan Jie was taken to another room to register as a new survivor and complete the filing procedures.

The beret who sent out 10 of them was called Instructor 23 by Zhao Xin, and naturally, Instructor 23 came to receive them.

Along with the instructor, there was also a person wearing a white coat, undoubtedly a staff member from the R&D department.

Among the four people, Yuan Feipeng participated in several bounty exploration missions, and naturally completed the task briefing.

In addition to the written report, he also included a digital camera that captured the corpses of black and gray dogs. Of course, he deleted the photos of Kent and others' bodies.

According to their unified statement last night, the task briefing naturally differs slightly from the facts.

Everything was normal in the front, but when Kent ordered a parachute jump, Yuan Feipeng jumped over the part where the mooncake killed Kent. They saw a black dog waiting for them before they landed.

Subsequently, Kent, vultures, mooncakes, turkeys, and others were all bitten and devoured by black dogs, leaving only the three of them to hide in a small castle.

In order to be more convincing, Yuan Feipeng even drove back and took a few photos of the outside and inside of the castle, including the "traces" left by Yang Caishan in the dark corner.

Finally, there was a battle between Greyhound and Black Dog. Tom took advantage of the situation and killed Black Dog with the help of Greyhound, while Greyhound bled excessively and died.

Yuan Feipeng naturally revealed Fan Jie's identity truthfully, including his fact that he was a companion with Greyhound.

According to Yuan Feipeng, a lie is ten true sentences, mixed with one false sentence, which will be more deceptive.

The room where the four of them were staying had a glass wall, and through Yuan Feipeng's suggestion, Tom understood that it was a one-way glass. What they saw on one side was a long mirror, but on the other side, others were observing their every move through the glass.

Tom believed that among these people, there must be Song Ren, and even Yuan Feixing.

All the damn people came back alive, but none of the people who took on the task came back. They must be very unwilling.

But what if you're not willing?

To get rid of Yuan Feipeng, one must find a way to send him out, which means that Song Ren and others dare not take action in the shelter. Now that they have returned, Song Ren can only find another way.

After all, they took on the task and went out. Simple questioning was enough, and situations like isolation interrogation and cross comparison testimony that Zhao Xin was worried about did not occur. This further indicates that Song Ren did not reach the level of covering the sky with one hand in the shelter, and he had to follow the game rules.

During the inquiry, Tom noticed that Yang Caishan was a bit unnatural. With a slightly red face, she occasionally looked at Tom and buried her head on the table.

Perhaps she was really uncomfortable, but now in the shelter, in order to avoid jealousy from Yuan Feixing who might be observing nearby, Tom could only pretend not to see it.

The instructor arrived on the 23rd and inquired for just over half an hour before leaving. It took another half hour to return and announce the completion of their mission.

This surprised Yuan Feipeng and others, but the instructor gave them a brief explanation.

The engine they brought back was indeed damaged, and according to inspection, it had already been broken a long time ago.

As for the encrypted USB drive with engine data, they negotiated terms with the young man named Fan Jie, paid a certain amount of compensation, and obtained the password. And this reward is naturally deducted from the task rewards of this group of people.

But the dark red crystal they brought back was something they had never discovered before. In addition, two mutated soldier ant shells containing iron have high research value, so they complement each other and their tasks are considered completed, and the promised task rewards will also be provided.

At that moment, the two of them looked at Tom with gratitude in their eyes. These were all collected and left by Tom, not placed in the hidden crystal lamp beads. It was unexpected that they could also be used as a task reward.

At present, Zhao Xin owes Zhang Chengjiang a debt, and the channel provided by Yuan Feixing joined the team, and the reward for the task was naturally used to offset the debt.

As for Yuan Feipeng, the issue of offsetting his sentence was not announced by the instructor.

After the announcement of dissolution, it was inevitable that Yuan Feipeng would be taken away by security personnel. Before leaving, he publicly expressed his gratitude to Tom, but his attitude was cold, as if it was just a routine matter.

Tom understood that this was because Yuan Feipeng had to pretend that his identity had not been fully revealed in order to avoid any harm to himself. Tom and others did not know his true identity or the fact that he had been wrongly accused.

As soon as the instructor announced the dissolution, Yang Caishan was about to run to the restroom. It seemed that she couldn't hold back any longer, but before leaving, she asked him to wait for her at the door.

Tom bid farewell to Yuan Feipeng and waited at the entrance of the special task hall for a while. Yang Caishan sneaked in from the corridor and glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention before stuffing something into Tom's hand.

The pebble sized stone made Tom's heart race as he glanced at it. Isn't this the level 2 blue crystal that Yang Caishan had brought before?

"You... how did you bring it in?"

When checking at the door, everyone should search their bodies and use something like an electric mosquito swatter to scan their bodies. If it contains crystals, the instrument will sound an alarm. Tom couldn't figure out how Yang Caishan brought crystals in.

I saw Yang Caishan's face turn red again. She turned her head and didn't dare to face Tom. "Don't worry about that... anyway... this is my reward for you... Then, when I go back, I will ask Mrs. Yun about the source of the pendant. As soon as there is a result, I will find a way to inform you. That's all." She turned her head and walked up the stairs.

The crystal in my hand is a bit damp and sticky. Tom quickly stuffed the blue crystal into his pocket to avoid misunderstandings and to avoid attracting attention. Then he took a deep breath, looked around, and slowly walked towards the stairs, trying to appear casual, but his heart was now filled with joy.

With the blue crystal, he can infiltrate the warehouse of the security department building with Ouyang Haotian's plan and steal his fifth level red crystal.

With a level five red crystal, Tom can create even larger armor, which gives him the power to fight against powerful mutated creatures.

Not to mention the distance, this is the only way to fight against the mutated black dog. It is very dangerous to rely solely on its agile skills to find its lifeline.

Insufficient protection, once hit head-on, it is either fatal or injurious.

Fortunately, there was a gray dog that attracted firepower this time, otherwise even if Tom was wearing Old Street Zero armor, it would be difficult to say that he could handle the black dog unscathed.

Higher defense means thicker armor, which means heavier weight. What is needed naturally is a larger crystal amplification.

Suppressing his excitement, Tom carefully walked downstairs and happened to see Yang Caishan being stuffed into an electric bike by Yuan Feixing. Then, Yuan Dashao walked over with square steps around him.

"You did a great job, didn't you think you even saved my woman?"

Previously, I felt a bit uncomfortable with Yuan Feipeng's seemingly profound but actually weak personality, but now it seems that I learned it from him. It's just a parrot learning how to talk, as if it's real, but the confidence and arrogance in its bones cannot be learned.

"I keep my word, I wonder if you can do it, Yuan Shao?"

Yuan Feixing laughed twice, and a servant beside him opened his wallet. He grabbed ten tickets and threw them on the ground. "Nah, ten yuan contribution tickets, pick them up," he said

Tom didn't even glance at the ten tickets and shook his head, saying, "I remember it was a 1000 contribution ticket, plus a house in the elite district."

"Are you stupid? Who said that? 1000 yuan? Are you worth it?"

Tom glanced at Yang Caishan lying in the car window, looking over here, and then loudly asked, "Is she worth this price to you?"

Yuan Feixing's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment. "This... this..."

Although he was very domineering towards Yang Caishan, this time he knew he was going to die and even forced her to go for him. Now that he finally brought the person back, Tom asked Yang Caishan if she was worth 1000 contribution votes, which made him unable to step down.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind Tom: "Miss Yang was originally a national level celebrity, but now she has brought back rare and good things for our shelter. Her contribution is certainly worth this price."

Tom turned around and saw the slightly chubby middle-aged man, Song Ren.

This price was offered by Song Renkai, and Tom expected that Yuan Feixing wouldn't be able to make such a big deal either. Now that Zheng Zhu has come forward, he wants to see how Song Renkai can evade it.

"It's just that you're not doing well. What we want is the engine, not the seller who sells the engine. Your thousand contribution tickets and house will have to be given to the seller."

With Song Ren's words, it seems that the conditions discussed between Fan Jie and the shelter have indeed been agreed upon. That Yuan Feipeng really has two talents, he can teach an eleven year old boy to negotiate a deal in one night.

"So I don't have a penny left?" Tom had anticipated that the other party wouldn't fulfill this promise. All he wanted was an explanation, let's see how they can justify it.

He remembered Zhao Xin saying that the reward he received for this mission was only 500 contribution votes, but he owed 50000 contribution votes. Having this price range is also because he is a member of the psychic team, and the price is too low, which disrespects the special training department. This 500 will not be actually handed over to him, but will be directly transferred to his creditor Zhang Chengjiang.

1000 contribution votes plus a house in the elite district? This price is obviously just for catching him in at the beginning, how could it be given?

Tom nodded, initially not believing that the other party would exchange the price, but now he reluctantly accepted Song Ren's explanation and turned away.

Yuan Feipeng, seeing him walking without looking back, suddenly felt a little happy and said, "Hey, there are still ten yuan left. If you don't want it, I can take it back."

Tom turned around and smiled, "Then you pick it up."

Yuan Feipeng didn't want to squat down and just picked two pieces. Fang realized his current identity and quickly stood up. He looked around at more than a dozen passersby and staff coming and going, and suddenly felt that the two contribution tickets he was holding in his hand were not something to throw away, nor was it something to continue holding, as if they were hot potato.

Yang Caishan's wild laughter came from inside the car, and Tom laughed as he walked.

10 yuan contribution ticket to buy a grand scene of Yuan Shao's garbage collection, allowing his carefully disguised appearance as a wealthy second-generation young master to take shape, which is very worthwhile.
