Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 238 Businessman Taras

In the middle of the night, Li You and Aiji met Taras near the park under Franco's introduction.

Taras is a middle-aged man with a full beard and sharp eyes. He gives off an aggressive impression at first sight.

If you ask Li You what he thinks, it's hard to believe that he is a businessman just based on his appearance.

However, from his speech and behavior, it can be seen that he does possess certain qualities necessary for a businessman.

It's not about being kind to others and being friendly to make money, but having a sharp eye and being able to catch what others need, and using this to propose a deal that the other party can't refuse.

Frankly speaking, Li You doesn't like this kind of person, but he is indeed capable.

In addition, he did not use his abilities on the right path, so it is conceivable that such a person is more harmful.

Fortunately, Li You didn't come to Taras to discuss business at all.

Taras looked at him and said, "So it's you, the Wanshiwuwu who is very famous recently? What do you want from me?"

Li You coughed and said, "There's nothing else. Franco has told you, right? I'm just here to discuss business with you."

Taras said: "Franco did mention it to me...but do you have any business that you can talk to me about?"

Li You smiled: "What do you think of my homemade potion?"

As he spoke, he took out a mineral water bottle from behind and threw it over.

Taras took it, unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed it, and his eyes lit up: "It's true! Do you really want to trade this with me? I thought it was monopolized by Franco."

Li You said: "There is no such thing, it's just that I do more business with him. If you can listen to me, those are just deposits."

Taras looked at him again and said, "No problem! Come on, let's go to the park to talk."

The three of them entered the small landscape building in the park. Taras took out a key and opened the locked door on the east side of the second floor.

He greeted with a kind face: "Sit down!"

Li You was not polite and asked Ai Ji to stay downstairs while he sat down.

Taras dragged a chair in front of him and said, "So, what business do you have to discuss with me?"

Li You looked at him and said, "A friend told me that you seem to have the key to the underground vault of Berggren Bank, right?"

Taras' expression changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted it back and said naturally: "What are you talking about, I don't understand."

Li You smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble. This is related to the business I want to discuss."

"I have a very important thing, a Vishni treasure, priceless. But it is too dangerous for me to store that thing, so I hope to put it in an underground vault for preservation.

"If you have the key, we can discuss this business. As for the reward, I am confident that I can satisfy you."

Taras looked at Li You, but still did not let go: "I am very interested in this deal, but I'm sorry, I really don't..."

"Mr. Taras." Li You interrupted, "You don't have to rush to reject me, we have time."

"Why don't you think about it, where did I learn that you hold the key to the vault?"

Taras was stunned: "Could it be..."

Li You smiled mysteriously: "...Besides the big shot on that side, who else could be there?"

Taras was really stunned now. He paused before saying: "...Do you have any evidence?"

Li You: "Of course."

He was talking so much nonsense to Taras here, not because he was being lazy, but because of Taras's character, he probably wouldn't take the most important things with him.

So just in case, Li You planned to deceive him first to ensure that he had the key to the vault.

Of course, it is not impossible to arrest them directly and torture them, but that is only the last resort.

In order to win his trust, Li You and Ai Ji sneaked into the army outpost before coming here. They first confirmed that Colonel Markov was not in the city, and then sneaked into the colonel's private room.

In the top-floor room belonging to Colonel Markov in the game, the two found many documents, including letters between the colonel and Taras.

So at this moment, Li You said directly: "That adult is planning to get some precious cultural relics from the museum, and then they will be handed over to you to store in the vault...Am I right?"

"The old man told me personally that he asked me to put my things into the vault.

"If you still don't believe it, then the cultural relic you want is called water..."

Taras quickly covered his mouth: "That's enough, that's enough! Stop talking! I believe you!"

Seeing that Li You stopped talking, he took a breath and then continued: "Well, since it is what he wants, of course I have no problem. When will you move the things over? I will take you into the vault. "

Li Youyou: "The sooner the better, there are still people looking for that thing."

Taras nodded: "Okay! Tomorrow evening, you wait for me near the central square! By the way, don't get close to the square. The government troops recently planned to clean up there and sent snipers. If you are accidentally killed, they will not Tube."

Li You was very cooperative and replied: "No problem. Then I'll leave first."

Taras waved his hand: "Go ahead, remember, don't..."

"...Don't leak the information about that adult to anyone, right?" Li You answered, "Don't worry, I know it very well."

Taras nodded again, looked at him, and suddenly sneered: "Speaking of which, it turns out that you are also from over there. It's really interesting. Is it to find out the movements of the ignorant people in the city? As expected of you."

“I really wonder what those idiots’ expressions would be like when they know your true identity!”

Li Youpi replied with a smile: "If you are interested, you can also come and visit next time I go back to report?"

"Oh, by the way, no one in the city knows my identity except you. After all, that adult is not here either.

"So, once my identity is revealed...you understand, right?"

Taras said quickly: "That's natural! Don't worry."

Li You then said, "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow night."

"Walk slowly without sending."

Li You went out, took Aiji with him, and prepared to return.

The two seemed to be silent, but Aiji had already established communication with Li You using a spiritual link.

Aggie said: "...This hyena is really disgusting, with the face of a sinister villain."

Li You replied: "It's okay. He has already taken the bait. He will be useless after tomorrow night."

Then he sneered again: "...Ha, the expressions on the refugees' faces when they find out my identity?"

"I'll prepare a mirror for you tomorrow. Look at your own face!"

The two separated immediately after crossing the park. Aiji returned on his own, while Li You had to run a commission.

The weather in Berggren has gradually turned colder recently, but the confrontation between government forces and rebels in the city has become increasingly fierce. The intensity and frequency of the fighting have increased. It seems that the government forces want to achieve results before winter comes.

Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible.

But the biggest problem is the people. The fighting between the military and the military has become fierce, which has also greatly affected them.

Even at night, many neighborhoods were covered by the sound of gunfire, and the flames of explosions flashed frequently, making it impossible for scavengers to pass. The roads in the city were greatly affected, and some areas were even completely isolated.

Fortunately, this did not interfere with Li You. He lurked in the dark and easily passed through the fighting area and arrived at the place where he appeared when he first arrived in this world.

Silent House.

Of course he is not here to steal anything, he is here to complete the commission.

Li You came to the door of the two old men and knocked gently.

There were low and slow footsteps behind the door, and the old man with white hair opened the door.

"It's really you... Come in quickly."

Li You nodded in greeting: "It's me, old man. So where is the... you mentioned?"

The old man pointed to his head: "They are resting on the second floor. My wife is taking care of them. Come on, I will take you up."

Li You followed the old man to the bedroom on the second floor, where the old lady was sitting by the bed, looking after the two children on the bed.

"It's them," said the old man.

Li You stepped forward, smiled at the old lady, then sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the two children.

The two children are one large and one young. The older boy is eleven or twelve years old. He is the largest war orphan Li You has seen so far. The younger one was only six or seven years old, and looked like she might be about the same age as Emilia. She was a girl.

Li You touched their foreheads. Both children had a fever, the younger one was more serious.

The old lady on the side said worriedly: "We picked up these two children two days ago. The old man saw them wandering outside, so he picked them up."

"The two of them seemed to be brother and sister. They originally lived with their mother. But then their mother fell ill and died, and their home was occupied by a group of thugs. They managed to escape with great difficulty.

"The old man and I thought they were pitiful and originally planned to take them in, but we don't have enough food here. Now they are sick again and we don't have medicine. So we can only ask you to come. Help them, young man."

Li You looked at the two children and asked, "What are their names?"

The old lady said: "The boy's name is Andreas and the girl's name is Nika."

Li You was thoughtful.

In fact, just looking at the experiences of the two children, they are more like the neighbor characters who come to ask for help in the classic model.

Those were also two children who came to ask for medicine because their mother was ill. If they don't help, the mood of the whole family will be affected. If they help, they will ask for help later. Finally, their mother will come to thank them personally and give them some coffee.

But those are a pair of boys, named "Nenad Brothers" in the game, and Andreas and Nika are the two children taken care of by Adam's orphanage in the Embers DLC.

Andreas is the oldest of four children at Adam's orphanage and even goes out at night to help Adam find supplies. Anna, the heroine of Smoldering Embers, learned about the orphanage only after she met Andreas, a scavenger in a supermarket.

He's also the only kid in the game who goes out at night.

But talking about this, Li You also remembered a rumor from the past.

When the game first appeared a few years ago, he once saw a fake guide on the Internet, which was about the Nenad brothers who came to ask for medicine.

The guide said that as long as the player doesn't give them medicine, they will come back in two days and say that their mother is dead and they have nowhere to go.

At this time, if there are only two people in the shelter, these two children can join, and they can act like adults, go out at night to collect supplies, and even fight.

The guide is also very serious, saying that the older boy is very powerful and can get through the gap in the iron gate without the need for a saw blade. He also said that he can use piano wire as a weapon, silently assassinate, and backstab in seconds...

Anyway, at first I was stunned by the young Li You, and almost believed it, and even wanted to try it. But in the end, Li You didn't make up his mind not to give them medicine, and he didn't succeed.

It would be later when he realized that it was just a fake guide. I can only say that I haven’t really tried it yet.

Who are you thinking of writing this kind of fake guide?

Li You came back to his senses, shook his head in amusement, and shook the past memories out of his mind. He took out the potion he had prepared and fed it to the two children.

Of course, this is just a gourd potion that resists negative effects and cannot cure diseases, but Li You mainly wanted to stabilize their condition.

The news he heard may not have been made clear, and he thought there was only one child, but he didn't expect there were two. Their condition is not good now and they need to be sent to the hospital, but it is not particularly convenient for Li You to rely on himself.

How about calling Aggie over again?

While Li You was thinking about it, Andreas, the eldest child, suddenly grabbed Li You's wrist and said, "...Uncle, please take Nika to the hospital. I'll be fine."

Li You looked at him: "You're already awake."

Andreas nodded: "It doesn't matter to me, I'm much better, so..."

Li You didn't let him continue: "It's okay, I'll take you both with me. But I think you are quite energetic, so come and help me."

Andreas and the two old men were stunned.

After a while, both Andreas and Nika were wrapped in thick coats. Li You tied the petite Nika to his chest with a rope, carried Andreas behind his back, and then the two of them The old man watched with great surprise and rushed towards the hospital.

Andreas was also confused: "Am I doing you a favor?"

Li You replied: "Please help me pay attention to my sister Nika. If you feel her temperature rises, tell me immediately. I have to observe the street situation and cannot pay attention all the time."

Only then did Andreas realize: "Okay, leave it to me!"

Li You took his two children all the way to the hospital.

The hospital guards, doctors and nurses all knew him now, and they all greeted him: "Li You!"

"Mr. Li, you are here."

"Are these two...?"

With the help of the nurse, Li You put the two children down and said, "They are sick. Please check on them."

The nurse was surprised: "Okay, leave it to us."

With that said, she and her companions took the two children to the hospital.

Li You didn't go over to join in the fun. Ai Ji had basic medical knowledge, but he didn't, so he couldn't help much.

He stood at the door of the hospital, listening to the intensive gunfire not far away, and looking at the dilapidated Berggren under the night.

During this time, he had become accustomed to sleeping with the roar of artillery fire.

For an ordinary person who was originally born in a peaceful country, this is really a novel experience.

The doorman on the side came over and handed him a cigarette.

"Would you like one, Mr. Li?"

Li You took one look and smiled: "Okay, you can give real cigarettes to others? When did you become so rich?"

The doorman laughed at himself: "How wealthy! This is the only cigarette I have left. I usually smoke low-quality cigarettes."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't take it out."

Li You smiled after hearing this and said, "Thank you very much. But no, I don't smoke. You can keep it for yourself and enjoy it."

The guard didn't say much, he put away the cigarette, and then he took out a cigarette of the lowest quality from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a light smoke after a long time.

"The day before yesterday, the warehouse behind the hospital was bombed again." He whispered.

Li You was stunned.

"Specialized in blowing up warehouses, but not the main building of the hospital. Maybe those bastards wanted to destroy all our medicines so they could see us cry in pain, right?"

"But it's a pity that there is no medicine in the warehouse for a long time. Those guys are just wasting ammunition, ha!"

Li You was silent.

The doorman took another puff of cigarette, and this time he choked and coughed several times, and then said: "Sir, I know that just saying a few words is of no use, but I still hope you know that you have provided us with a very important thing." Big help.”

"Without you, the hospital would have suffered heavy losses during the last bombing. You, and the two at the radio station, everyone saw what you did, and you made more people People survive. Thank you."

Li You shook his head and said, "There is a limit to what I can do. I just helped others a little, and I got paid."

The guard smiled: "Like helping someone deliver mail across half of the city, and then only asking for a can that is about to expire?"

Li You wanted to say something else, but two people suddenly appeared on the street not far away, both of them seemed to be injured.

When the doorman saw it, he immediately smoked the rest of the cigarette in one gulp and ran over quickly.

"What happened? I'm here to help!"

Looking at the busy doormen, doctors and nurses, Li You sighed silently.

war of the Damned.

As dawn approached, the nurse finally came out with the two children.

"Mr. Li, we have already given them medicine. All they need to do is go back and take a good rest. They will be fine soon."

"The fighting has become more intense recently and there are no empty beds in the hospital, I'm sorry."

Li You smiled gently: "It's okay, I will take them back."

The nurse bowed her head in greeting to Li You, then returned to the hospital and continued her work.

And Andreas pulled his sister Nika, who was already awake, and looked at Li You, and said somewhat cautiously: "Thank you, uncle."

Li You touched their heads and said, "The old man told you before, right? After this time, you will follow me."

Andreas looked at Nika behind him and replied firmly: "Yes! I will help you, uncle!"

Li You laughed and said, "No, I don't need your help. Children should just have a good rest and have fun."

Andreas wanted to say something, but Li You had already said: "Let's go, follow me back to my shelter first. If the conditions are right in the future, I may give you another home."

Before the two children understood what Li You meant, they were hugged and carried away by him.

At dawn, Li You had already taken them back to the villa shelter.

Everyone, including Aggie, was surprised to see him bringing back two children.

Marco came up and asked: "Li You, are they...?"

Li You briefly introduced the two of them and said that they would live here for a while.

Although everyone was surprised, no one objected, including the egoist Roman.

Livia even gently hugged Andreas, who was pretending to be strong, and Nika, who was hiding behind her brother in fear, and comforted them: "Good children, you must be very tired. Come with me, I I’ll take you to get something to eat.”

"Don't be afraid. Look, auntie also has a baby in her belly. He will be your brother in the future!"

Under her gentle treatment, Nika finally dared to poke her head out from behind her brother, and Andreas finally took off his guard and followed her.

Li You was also very satisfied seeing Livia getting closer to the two children so quickly.

At this time, Marco and Roman came to him and said, "Li You, there is something you may be interested in."

Roman took out a piece of paper with a few lines of small words written on it. Li You took a look and found that it was the important news they had heard during this period.

According to the two people, Livia would listen to the radio broadcasts in her spare time to better obtain intelligence. These are her records.

Li You was a little relieved, but after looking at the contents of the record, his face became a little solemn.

Because in addition to the three pieces of news about Li You's collaboration with Esma, there are two other important pieces of news.

"-I regret to inform you that one of us gave the government forces the name of a rebel supporter. We still don't know his identity, if you have any information please let us know, it will save many people."

"——The military is threatening us and trying to silence us. Because of this, we should tell you the truth at all costs."

These two pieces of news are content that will only appear in the middle of the final broadcast plot. Of course, the world is not so strictly divided, but this is enough to show that Malik and Asma's broadcast stations are facing an approaching crisis. threaten.

"It seems that it's almost time to talk to these two people again."

Li You made up his mind, but he was not in a hurry to leave. After all, there was still Taras' matter to deal with. He and Aggie planned for a while, formulated a simple but not crude action plan, and waited for Taras to take the bait.

In the evening, Li You and Ai Ji waited for Taras in the ruins near the square.

"You are here!" He came up to chat, "How are you? Have you brought your things?"

Li You patted the large luggage wrapped in gray cloth and said, "It's right here. Are you ready?"

Taras said: "It's been done a long time ago. Let's go, I know a path that can lead to the vault."

Li You and Ai Ji picked up their luggage and followed Taras all the way. Finally, they entered through the back door of the bank and went down to the vault.

The entry procedure of the underground vault is very complicated. Two different keys are required to open three heavy doors. The order of using the keys is also particular.

But Li You only read it once and wrote down the entire sequence.

Finally, Taras opened the heavy sliding door of the vault and said, "Okay! Put the things in."

Li You put down the large luggage, looked at Aiji and said, "Speaking of which, you don't want to know what it is. Do you need to put it in the underground vault?"

Taras was stunned: "Is this something I can see?"

Li You smiled: "Of course. Rather, this is prepared for you."

Taras: "...? What do you mean?"

Li You grabbed the gray cloth and lifted it up, revealing the "cultural relics" underneath.

Taras took a closer look and saw that it was an ordinary full-length mirror with broken cracks in the lower corners. He was stunned at that moment.

"This is…"

"Boom."

Before he could finish his words, Ai Ji appeared behind him at some point and knocked him down with one palm.

Looking at the disbelieving look in Taras's eyes as he fell, Li You smiled slightly: "This is specially prepared for you to see his expression clearly. Look forward to it, Mr. Taras."

Under Li You's gentle but actually cold gaze, Taras's consciousness completely fell into darkness.
