It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

Actually, Mr. Cheng originally planned to go to the Giant Panda Breeding Base to continue his unfinished work at the beginning of the year. But Zhou Zhezhi reminded Mr. Cheng that during the Golden Week, he would see nothing but people at the Giant Panda Breeding Base. So Mr. Cheng changed his mind and decided to go north to Mudanjiang.

Then, the news of "we are going out to pet Siberian tigers" was known by Steve Rogers who was bored to death. And Rogers knew it, which meant Natasha and Barton also knew it. Then, Tony and his female president Piper also knew it. Even two days before the holiday, even the black-boiled egg Nick Fury knew it!

Thus, a small family activity turned into a large group trip for "relatives and friends". Seeing this, Boss Cheng simply called almost everyone who had a good relationship with him. For example, the Eastern Master, the three people from the Yorozuya, Hanzo from the Hidden Rain Village, and Louisoix, who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, were all called by Boss Cheng.

As for Dumbledore, Ollivander, several shopkeeper friends in Knockturn Alley, and Lucius, the head of the Malfoy family, they either didn't have time, had to take care of business, or asked Mr. Cheng "Do they sell tiger whips?" Anyway, they either couldn't go or were driven away by Mr. Cheng.

The Boston Volunteers were busy accompanying the old couple on a tour of the wasteland and said they didn't have time. The old couple also shifted the focus of their lives to "finding children" and "making children", and they also said they didn't have time.

Among the group of people in Boss Cheng's restaurant, only Brother Biao did not plan to go to Mudanjiang with Boss Cheng to pet tigers. He planned to take advantage of the three days off to go back to his "hometown" Tieling Kaiyuan for a stroll.

"I looked it up online. Now the open source ones are getting really cool. I'm going to go back and take a walk around and see if I can bump into some people I know."

Boss Cheng did not force Brother Biao to go with them. After all, everyone has their own regrets, reluctance and weakness in their hearts. Brother Biao's desire to "return" to the origin of this world is also a way to face his own heart.

Boss Cheng picked up his phone and scanned 5000 yuan for Brother Biao, asking him to find a better hotel to stay in when he returned to Kaiyuan. He also told Brother Biao: "There is no need to be so stingy with that yuan. Living comfortably and safely is more important than money."

"Okay, I'll listen to the boss this time."

Brother Biao drove away in the "civilian" armored vehicle that the store had replaced countless times. A large bus of people from Boss Cheng's side also went to a small civilian airport called "Sanyuanpu" and took an A318 "Sky Flying Egg" charter flight to Mudanjiang Hailang Airport.

After returning to his "hometown", Brother Biao parked his car and was filled with strangeness and surprise. The road was still the same as he remembered, but the scenery along the street had changed a lot.

The carousel of lost love has disappeared, and the newly built intersection is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. The Kaiyuan Stadium, the witness of a fierce battle, has also been renovated. The "Return to Ireland" bar has also changed its appearance and started a hairdressing and barbering business.

The Victoria International Entertainment Plaza has now become the Kaiyuan Youth Cultural Center. The only thing left that shows its former glory is the two statues of goddesses in armor outside the door. However, the "cultural relic" vase that almost knocked down his brother-in-law still stands on one side of the lobby.

Fortunately, the Tianqi Cold Drink Factory where Yufen worked back then is still alive. Or rather, it is not only alive, but also getting better and better. Brother Biao walked into the sales department of the Tianqi Cold Drink Factory and bought a crispy ice cream that he loved the most back then.

Brother Biao ate as he walked. He felt that although 18 years had passed, Kaiyuan was still Kaiyuan. Although there was no trace of Brother Biao's struggles, a city would not become dim because of the lack of a small person's unrealistic struggles.

but!

When Brother Biao noticed a character named "Zhao Hongbiao" in a TV series called "Marshal Ma" on a community's public television, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why does this person look so much like me? Oh my god, this is too coincidental!"

Brother Biao is still in shock, so let's turn our attention to Boss Cheng and the others.

Actually, there is nothing much to say about rubbing the Northeastern tiger, just holding the little brain axe and rubbing it vigorously. The only thing worth mentioning is that the 240-pound boss Cheng chased a group of 500-pound Northeastern tigers.

Wild beasts are much more sensitive to smells than primates, especially cats, so when they encounter Boss Cheng, even if he smells like chopped green onions, these wild beasts can still smell the scent of corpses and blood from him.

So, when Boss Cheng rushed towards a large group of Siberian tigers while laughing like a pervert, these beasts immediately turned into frightened kittens in the flower bed downstairs of your house, turned around and started running for their lives.

The orange cat, who had been trying hard to gain weight in order to survive the winter, was almost fat as a ball, but was caught by Boss Cheng because of his sluggish body. Then, the orange fat ball completely fell under Boss Cheng's endless rubbing and tickling. He became a little cat and a little cutie, just like Sweet Cheese, "crazy on the outside, weak on the inside".

"That's right, I'm a little kitty, a little cutie!"

Basically, everyone except Boss Makoto and Kagura was only interested in the cute little tiger. Even Nick, who was as black as a boiled egg, had no resistance to the chubby and furry little tiger. He was even almost blinded by the fierce little tiger.

Rogers, Natasha and Barton all took out their Z50 Ultra phones, the same model as Boss Cheng. Tony took out the Z50s Pro that Boss Cheng gave him, and the four of them took their phones and started taking photos with the little tiger.

As for why these people chose to dismantle an undetermined product in 2023, the explanation they gave was very direct and clear: by using a mobile phone that can be dismantled in the future, there is no need to worry about being monitored by the FBI and CIA of today (referring to 2012).

Nick Fury thought their point of view made sense, so he secretly got himself a "future phone", and no one knew about it except Boss Cheng and Rogers. Even his right-hand men didn't know that their boss had a "senior phone" produced in 2024 with a full 4G network band.

The reason why Nick Fury did this was because he found that SHIELD had become more and more weird since the New York War. Although Nick had no evidence, he felt that everything in the bureau was out of his control.

So for Nick Fury, it is very important to have a mobile phone that cannot be implanted with programs, can only send text messages and make calls, but has an extremely strong signal and can last for more than half a month on a single charge.

In the Boston wasteland of 2282, there is no question of whether the wasteland residents are monitored by the federal government. There are no telephones, no federal government that never does anything, and no federal officials who suffer from Alzheimer's disease but still maintain their inhuman nature.

However, there has never been a shortage of monsters in the wasteland that are not human or even cannot be considered human.

It was like the "old popsicle" couple Nate and Nora wandering aimlessly along the way, asking everyone they met, trying to find out the whereabouts of the bald man who had robbed their child. Some of the people they asked seemed to be possessed by some old men and women in big cities, giving them inappropriate directions. As a result, the couple was pointed to the coastal area east of the town of Neighbor.

(Because the couple woke up early, the Holy Father was not ready to guide Nate or Nora to accept the college.)

Here, several children were pointing at the sea in the distance and shouting. Some of the strong ones picked up stones and threw them towards the sea. It seemed as if they could throw the stones into the sea in the distance and hit and scare away the "sea monster" hiding under the sea.

"Sea monster"?

The couple looked out to the sea in the distance with curiosity, but apart from the surging waves and the plastic garbage that had been floating for who knows how many hundreds of years, there was no sign of the "sea monster".

"No, it is there!" A little child pointed at the sea and told the couple, "It's hiding behind the sunken ship! It always floats to the surface quietly, showing one eye and secretly observing us. Don't you think it is dangerous? Although the monster has not hurt anyone yet, we all know that it is just waiting for an opportunity to strike!"

"Besides the eyes, have you seen any other body parts of the monster?"

The children all shook their heads and admitted that they had only seen the monster's one eye.

However, when Knight looked out to sea and found the "monster's eye" as the children called it, he discovered that it was not a monster's eye at all, but a periscope that rose out of the sea and was constantly observing the situation on the coast!

periscope?

submarine!

The problem is that it has been more than 200 years since the outbreak of the nuclear war. Where did this submarine hidden in Boston Bay come from? To which force does it belong?

"I bet!" said another child, "The monster must be waiting for us kids to get into the water so that it can prey on us!"

0204 Is vibranium difficult to deal with?

There is no shortage of strange or bizarre things in the wasteland after a nuclear war. In this land that breeds ghosts and supernatural events, is it strange that there is a submarine of unknown power and identity hidden in a bay?

Not weird, but scary!

After all, the old popsicle couple doesn't want Boston to suffer a second nuclear disaster.

However, just when the old couple was anxious and at a loss, their anxiety was dispelled by a farmer in his 30s. The farmer told the old couple that they didn't need to worry about the one-eyed monster on the sea. Because...

"Because when I was a kid, the monster was there, and it would pop out its eyes every three to five days. No one thought it was dangerous except for the scared kids. Well, I was scared for a long time because of the monster when I was a kid. But we didn't go into the water, so when we grew up, we forgot about it."

Yes! Although Boston has a dense network of rivers and is a natural harbor, the residents living in the Boston Wasteland never go to the sea, and they rarely even go to the river.

Because there are radioactive sediments on the bottom of the water. And the places where all rivers meet the sea are the hardest hit by radioactive sediments. Although the radiation value of the seawater at the estuary is far less than the radiation intensity of the Glowing Sea that can damage a Geiger counter, it is enough for an adult to swim in it.

In addition, there is a very realistic problem, that is, in the entire Boston wasteland, you can't even find a few boats that can float steadily on the water and are not leaking. Whether it is a large ship or a small sampan, they have been eroded by the years, or have holes rotted out, or rusted through the deck.

The couple calmly waved at the periscope one kilometer away, then calmly turned around and left. The couple decided to put the matter of finding the child aside for the time being. But the matter of the periscope must be notified to the volunteers immediately, or to the owner of the hotel, Cheng.

Especially Knight, since he found the periscope, he felt that the submarine under the bay was most likely not from the Federal Navy, but a strategic nuclear submarine from a hostile country more than 200 years ago.

So any problems with this submarine should be left to Boss Cheng and the UNSC behind him. After all, in a sense, they are all "our own people". Even if these "our own people" are a world apart!

Unfortunately, the pit outside the door of Boss Cheng is too big, making it extremely inconvenient to go in and out. In addition, there were several heavy rains a few days ago, and the pit outside the hotel door is almost turning into a big water bubble (pond).

But the question is, are there any water bubbles that are more than 30 meters deep?

In addition, after going through so many hardships, the couple rode their electric bicycles back to the vicinity of Cheng Laoban Restaurant, only to find that it was closed. So, the news was temporarily kept by the volunteers stationed in Concord Town, and the couple rode their electric bicycles to continue their journey to find their son.

It’s called a “journey,” but don’t we still ride our bikes back to Concord every evening, and then ride out on fully-charged bikes early the next morning with water and food in hand?

The range is more than 200 kilometers! Otherwise, why do people say "technology changes life"? At least these two wheels plus an electric motor can greatly increase the travel radius even in the wasteland.

But no matter how large the travel radius of an electric bicycle is, it is not larger than that of Boss Cheng and his team taking a plane.

After visiting Hulin Park, a large group of people from Boss Cheng's group also went to Suifenhe. Unfortunately, none of Boss Cheng's group had a passport. Although some agents had passports, the 12-year time difference would make their passports become a piece of waste paper.

So everyone could only stay on this side of the Suifenhe Port and shop as much as they could. After spending no less than a million, they took a chartered plane back to Hualin with satisfaction.

Thinking about the various "tourist souvenirs" that had to be transported back to Hualin by container, Denisa asked her boss with a little distress: "At this rate, will your savings be used up soon?"

"Let me do the math." After some mental arithmetic, Boss Cheng told Denise, "If I can spend one million every day, the money in my account will probably only be enough for us to squander for another 40 years." After saying that, Boss Cheng nodded and said, "You know what, it's really fast."

Denise shut up decisively, because she had understood that this "40 years" was basically equivalent to a lifetime of no play. Of course, Denise preferred to believe that once Boss Cheng encountered some ownerless vaults, he would definitely "show his skills" again.

"Oh!" Denise sighed and said regretfully: "If I had known that money is so durable, I would have bought that 3-meter-high wooden nesting doll."

"I bought it! I bargained it down from 9 to 6!"

"Eh? You bought it?"

"Seeing you hanging around that thing, I bargained for it."

Patton and Natasha were sitting in the back row behind Boss Cheng and Denise. After hearing their conversation, the two people who could understand Japanese had hostility and resentment towards the big capitalists written all over their faces.

What does “money is so resistant to spending” mean?

What does “bargaining down to 5” mean?

5 yuan! 8 dollars! Just bought an ugly wooden nesting doll!

At this time, Barton and Natasha, who were jealous beyond recognition, came over and poked Boss Cheng on the back.

Boss Cheng turned around and asked the two of them, "Gaha."

The two of them did not shy away from asking, "If there is another good thing like the one in Wasteland Manhattan last time, can you take us with you?"

"I wanted to bring you last time, but I couldn't contact you two!" Boss Cheng pointed at Rogers who was dozing off, "If you don't believe me, go ask the captain and ask him if I looked for you guys at the beginning!"

Damn this shitty mission!

Barton and Natasha cursed silently in their hearts. If it weren't for that extremely unimportant task, they would have become billionaires now!

Then, Barton and Natasha poked Boss Cheng twice again and asked him to promise: "It didn't matter last time, but you have to promise to take us with you next time!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you guys, I'll take you guys!"

But in the next second, Boss Cheng's eyes suddenly turned, and then he turned around and asked the two: "As agents, do you know something that others don't know? For example, where are the vaults in Europe, South America, Oceania?"

After hearing what Boss Cheng said, Barton and Natasha's eyes suddenly became bright, just like Boss Cheng's, flashing with a beautiful vision for the future.

Piper, who was sitting with Tony, patted the half-asleep Tony, then pointed at the three people whispering in the front row, asking Tony to guess what they were discussing in such an excited manner.

"What else can we discuss?" Tony stretched and replied, "It's probably a conspiracy to rob the gold reserves of some place or country."

Rogers on the other side said: "Even if I go with you next time, I won't take gold. It's really hard to get rid of it. If you're not careful, the Gold Association and the FBI will target you."

"Please, how can I sell this kind of thing myself? Can't I ask the bank to help me?"

"I thought……"

"Captain, was there a Gold Reserve Act in your time?"

Rogers nodded and replied: "At that time, I did not allow ordinary people to hold gold."

"Then you dare to sell it alone?"

"But wasn't the Gold Reserve Act repealed long ago?"

Tony rolled his eyes and asked Rogers, "Do you know that selling like this can easily be targeted by the tax bureau?"

Rogers shook his head and said frankly: "With my income back then, the tax bureau officials didn't even look down on me."

Tony looked at the captain in surprise, then nodded in understanding. He knew that even after Rogers became a national hero, he was still a poor boy. After all, for a working-class family in Brooklyn after the Great Depression, being able to survive and not starve to death was the greatest luck.

So Tony asked him again: "Since you want to secretly dispose of the gold in your hands, why don't you go find Natasha and Barton?"

"What do you want to do with them?"

"One of them knows the Russian mafia, and the other knows the Japanese Yakuza. They can both help you turn gold into dollars." After that, Tony asked the captain, "Don't tell me you don't know?"

The captain nodded again.

"Then why don't you come to me?"

"Can I come to you too?" asked the captain.

Tony rolled his eyes, expressing his speechlessness. He never thought that his identity as a billionaire had been ignored by the captain.

The captain maintained an awkward but polite smile and shrugged to resolve the embarrassment, because he really never cared about Tony's billionaire status.

What does "the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water" mean?

What does “I never consider whether a friend has money or not when making friends” mean?

Our Captain Rogers is such a pure person who is free from vulgarity!

When the plane landed and the bus took everyone back to Boss Cheng's restaurant, everyone basically went back to their homes. Natasha and Barton left most decisively, after all, they were both responsible for finding the target.

Tony told Boss Cheng that the weather in New York would get colder and colder after October, so he would basically stay in the Blake Coast Villa in San Diego, California from the next six months until March next year.

"As for your Thor's hammer, please give me some more time. I need to spend some time to get a piece of vibranium. That thing should be able to achieve nano-scale high-strength armor lining and bend like clothing. It's just that the material itself... is more difficult to get."

However, what Tony didn't expect was that Boss Cheng actually asked him directly: "Vibranium, how much do you need?"

Tony thought Boss Cheng was joking, so he replied, "The more the better."

Then, Boss Cheng exchanged 1 ton of Vibranium for Tony. 2Pt is exchanged for 1 kilogram. Boss Cheng's battleship was put on the market after it was delivered.

Of course, there is also an alloy armor called "Spartan A" on the shelves, 5Pt is exchanged for one kilogram. If you exchange more than 10 tons at a time, you can enjoy a huge discount!
