Chapter 150 Visit
It took more than three hours for Jiang Zhengqing and Jia Ding to finally negotiate the price. Jiang Zhengqing exchanged 200,000 brain cores and 50,000 crystal cores for Wang Jin's eight second-level crystal cores.
After the bargaining, Jiang Zhengqing's face was full of sweat. He was not a master of negotiation, so how could he be a match for Jia Ding, a shrewd businessman? He was confused by Jia Ding's nonsense. The eight crystal cores were said to be unparalleled treasures, forcing Jiang Zhengqing to pay out his original money to buy them.
200,000 brain cores and 50,000 crystal cores were almost all the assets of the underground base. Now they were all squeezed out by Jia Ding. Jiang Zhengqing, who was distressed, twitched his face.
However, he did not regret it. Compared with these readily available brain cores and crystal cores, you can't get a second-level crystal core even if you look for it with a lantern. So although Jiang Zhengqing felt distressed, he didn't feel that he lost money in this transaction.
However, looking at Jia Ding's fat face that smiled like Maitreya Buddha, Jiang Zhengqing secretly made up his mind that he must be equipped with several business elites and negotiation experts after returning, otherwise he would lose money again if he encountered such a thing in the future. He really had no talent for such business negotiations.
Look at how smart Wang Jin is. He just left the professional work to professionals and drank tea comfortably on the side. He didn't need to worry about it and was slaughtered in the end.
"Brother Wang, wait a moment, I will go and get the crystal core brain core." Jiang Zhengqing was a man of swift action. Since the agreement had been reached, he didn't want to delay it, so he prepared to get resources to exchange.
"Okay, there is no need to rush this. Brother Jiang, can I visit your base? This is the first time I have seen such a large base built underground to avoid danger. I am very curious." Wang Jin shook hands with Jiang Zhengqing and made his request to visit their underground base.
Jiang Zhengqing hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded and agreed: "This kind of small matter is easy to handle, Shishi, you take Mr. Wang to visit our base."
"Why me again?" Jiang Shishi stamped her feet hard, turned to Wang Jin and said with a stern face: "Come with me! My time is very tight, and I don't have time to waste with you."
Wang Jin told Jia Ding, Li Yue and others a few words, arranged two insect generals to protect here, and followed Jiang Shishi alone to the underground.
After leaving the reception room, walking 200 meters to the left, under the leadership of Jiang Shishi, Wang Jin came to a cave entrance that gradually went down. The cave entrance was about 30 meters in diameter, and there were stairs dug in the downward slope for people to walk in and out.
There were hundreds of soldiers stationed at the cave entrance, and there were machine guns set up next to it, but not many, and there were few hot weapons in this underground base.
"Miss!" The soldiers saluted respectfully when they saw Jiang Shishi.
Jiang Shishi nodded, turned her head and said to Wang Jin behind her: "Come on, I won't look for you if you get lost."
She walked into the cave entrance, and Wang Jin followed her, slowly going down the steps on the slope. After entering the cave, Wang Jin's vision was not affected.
Because at the top of the cave, there is an incandescent lamp hanging high at a certain distance, and the bright light makes the underground passage as bright as daylight. In the cave, there is a hole several meters in size at the top of the cave every 100 meters. The sun shines into the passage through the hole, bringing the warmth of the sun to this underground base.
The passage became larger as it went down, and later it was 100 meters wide, and it was divided into multiple branches, each of which was 100 meters wide.
The survivors lived in these passages. Because the passages were large enough, they built many wooden houses to live in. They usually dug plant roots and small insects in the cave to eat, and the supply of mushrooms planted in the underground base ensured that they would not starve to death.
In the underground passage, every skylight position is the best place to live, because it can enjoy the sunshine here. The houses built in these positions are of good quality. They should be the places where soldiers, officers and mutants of the underground base live.
This is only the first floor of the underground base. Under the leadership of Jiang Shishi, Wang Jin passed through a downward slope hole and came to the second floor of the underground base, a wide underground space.
This underground space is about several square kilometers in size, and it is full of densely packed gray mushrooms. These mushrooms are generally as big as fingers, and the mushroom umbrella leaves are very small. Wang Jin has never seen this kind of mushroom. It may be a new variety mutated after the end of the world.
Two thousand survivors work here, constantly spreading the water introduced into the underground evenly on the ground, keeping the ground moist, so that the mushrooms grow faster and better.
"Okay, you have visited what you should visit, let's go back." Jiang Shishi took Wang Jin around this mushroom planting area and was about to take Wang Jin back.
"Don't you have a third floor? Take me to visit it."
Wang Jin suddenly spoke up and did not follow Jiang Shishi back.
"What are you talking about? Our underground base only has two floors, how can there be a third floor?" Jiang Shishi was stunned at first, and then denied it flatly.
"Isn't it just an ant queen? What's there to hide?" Wang Jin laughed secretly. You want to fool me with this little trick? Do you think the host is so big for nothing?
"How do you know?" Jiang Shishi cried out in surprise. She couldn't figure out how Wang Jin knew it. Not many people in the underground base knew this secret, and Wang Jin had just arrived today. How could he know the core secret of their base?
"Because I can tell the truth! Take me to see it." Wang Jin moved his fingers, causing Jiang Shishi to roll her eyes.
Jiang Shishi thought that since Wang Jin already knew the existence of the queen ant, it would be useless to hide it. Moreover, the queen ant had the ability to protect itself and was not afraid of Wang Jin hurting it, so she said, "Follow me, be honest for a while, otherwise you will be responsible for any consequences."
Then she took Wang Jin to turn left and walked to a hidden passage on the second underground floor. After passing through the passage as complex as a maze, Jiang Shishi pressed a mechanism somewhere, and a stone wall of the same color as the surrounding was pulled open, revealing a downward hole.
After walking a few dozen meters from the hole, Wang Jin came to a space slightly smaller than the second underground floor.
Millions of palm-sized termites were active in this space, digging soil to expand the space.
Termites use their jaws to dig the soil. When they encounter hard stones, they will secrete an acid to corrode the stones, making them soft and cracked, helping them to dig. This is the ability of termites before the end of the world, but it has been strengthened after the mutation of the end of the world.
There is also a huge nest on the earth wall behind this space. The ground of the nest is covered with hay, and three hundred soldier ants with a size of five or six meters and wearing thick armor are stationed nearby.
Each of these soldier ants has the strength of a first-level mutant beast. Although it seems that they are at the bottom of the first-level mutant beasts, with a number of three hundred gathered together, I am afraid that even the second-level mutant beasts dare not advance. It is said that there are millions of termites. Many ants bite elephants to death. This is definitely not a joke.
Although termites are only the size of a palm, they have a high bite force and can secrete acid that corrodes stones. Even powerful mutant beasts cannot face the attack of millions of termites.
In the center of the nest, Wang Jin finally saw with his own eyes the queen ant that was more than 30 meters long, white and fat, especially the extremely fat rear part of the body.
