The Scavengers

Chapter 129: 134|Countdown to 10 minutes

Xiao Mo first smiled at Councilor Ji on the stage, and Councilor Ji opened his mouth.

Xiao Mo raised his finger, "Can you shut up? The President and Mr. Yang also asked me to save people, but none of them are as disgusting as you. If I have a bad temper, I will charge you with this kind of moral kidnapping." This behavior will only make me have a rebellious mentality. Maybe I won’t save someone who could have been saved. Of course, in order to show that my ability is not just a boast, I can only save one of them and give up all the others."

Guests: Oops! Not a soft persimmon.

Ji Ke's old face changed color and his eyes shone brightly.

Luosang shouted in his heart, "Hello, if you are so secretive about this kind of thing, it will make people think you are in the wrong, why don't you just say it openly and openly." It’s not like he wants to be a Buddhist among thousands of families, so why should he care about his reputation

Celebrities care about their fame. They can only hold it in when things happen. Many times when they slap someone, they have to smile and say you did a good job, which makes people feel cheap. That is because they want to rely on fame to make a living. They must not Can't bear to say anything. But does Xiao Mo need it? I'm afraid he still doesn't want to be known as a good person, right

This is the difference between a celebrity and a famous doctor. As long as a famous doctor has real qualifications and does not do anything illegal or disciplined, no matter how expensive the fee is, no matter how low-level his character, no matter how weird his personality, many people will still support him, because You never know when you will need his help. But can stars do this

As long as Xiao Mo figures this out, he will be invincible.

Without waiting for Ji Ke to reply, Xiao Mo turned to look at the family members of the injured kneeling in front of him, "When Councilor Ji asked you to do this, did he tell you the possible consequences? If it were you, you would be forced like this. Come to the door and act like if you don't save, you are wrong, you are incompetent, you are sorry for the country and the people, and you are nothing, would you willingly save the relatives of such a person?"

The family members of the injured kneeling on the ground were all stunned, and some had panic expressions on their faces.

"If, as I said just now, I get angry and decide to save only one, then how do you choose?" Xiao Mo asked again.

Lei Bing touched his chin and felt that Captain Xiao tonight seemed a little different from before, a little sharper? But he really thinks this is a good change. It seems that having a stronger lover is very beneficial.

Yang Lao saw that Xiao Mo seemed to be able to solve the problem by himself, so he sat still for the time being.

"You can obviously save me, why..." A family member said weakly.

"Why? If your family has a car and no one else has one, and they come to ask you to borrow a car, will you borrow it? Even if you don't know the other person at all? Maybe you will borrow it because others beg you. Once or twice, if others see that this is effective, what if people come to your door to beg you like this every day? Will you borrow it or not? If you think it doesn’t matter to borrow a car, what about someone coming to borrow food from you? Just because your family There is plenty of food, and if you don’t give it, you are a bad person, a bastard and a devil, are you really willing to give it?”

The families of the injured all understand these principles. It's just that they have already preconceived ideas. At this time, no matter what Xiao Mo says, even if it is reasonable, they cannot listen to it, and they even think that these are just Xiao Mo's excuses.

Today's drama was indeed arranged by someone. The person who arranged it told them that there was a healer at the banquet hall who could save their family, but he was very greedy for money. He would charge ten thousand dollars to save each person. The government was determined to save their family. But they couldn't produce that much conversion energy, so they suggested that they go to the venue and publicly beg that person, and then ask a few congressmen to talk to the mercenary captain, and maybe they could get that person to take action.

Seeing their expressions, Xiao Mo didn't expect to be able to explain them. He just said some necessary words to avoid the same situation in the future.

"It's just greed for money. If I give you everything, you won't be cured?" A clear sarcastic voice came from somewhere in the venue. However, the sound was very erratic, making it impossible to determine its location.

Many people who had arranged in advance also echoed loudly.

Just when everyone had different expressions, looking at how Xiao Mo was going to solve the problem, Xue Lihong suddenly moved. No one could see clearly when he disappeared from the seat. When he appeared again, he had already grabbed it in his hand. one person.

Xue Lihong pinched the man's neck and threw him to the podium. "Why hide and say it? It's better to stand upright."

The man covered his neck and got up with a face full of horror. He wanted to speak, but his face suddenly twisted and he was speechless. The most terrifying thing was that his energy nest was being destroyed. He didn't know what kind of energy it was. , maybe poison

The man didn't utter a word and started rolling on the floor on the podium. The silent misery was like a mime, but it was also more shocking.

Councilor Ji Ke looked shocked, as if he didn't understand why Xue Lihong suddenly threw someone up. Seeing that the person was in bad condition, he immediately waved someone to come up for treatment.

Others could clearly see the man's face, and many recognized him as a somewhat famous voice power user. Just because everyone is not blind, Councilor Ji no longer does the stupid thing of asking Xue Lihong why he hurts people at will - there are many people here who know that the person with the voice power is his subordinate. Well, the most important thing is that now is not the peaceful period in the past when you have to be reasonable in everything and you can't actively hurt others. Even if the other person kills your whole family, you have to wait for the police to arrest him.

During this period, everyone who dared to speak in a low voice shut up. Everyone was afraid of being picked out from the crowd by the cool guy.

This was a small episode, from the time the man opened his mouth to the time he was thrown onto the stage, it took less than a minute. But is this something that can be done easily? At this moment, countless people began to re-evaluate Xue Lihong's abilities, and the leader of the Tianlong Team, who had already decided on a challenger, changed the established candidate without hesitation.

Looking at Xuelihong again, many people were dumbfounded. This person actually ate it again? Where does such a good appetite come from!

Xiao Mo knew that someone would say something about Wanmong to attack him. Hearing this, he just smiled lightly and said, "It seems that many people have heard that I once received Minister Bao Yiyong's Wanmong treatment." Fee, do you think this number is incredible? In fact, it is not incredible. Of course, I charged him 10,000 yuan because his condition requires me to consume so much conversion energy. As for the appropriate amount to charge for other injured patients, I need to see the patient. We will know the details once we know them.”

Almighty! Many people gasped, and the families of the injured were stunned.

"Wait! You've been talking for a long time, so you won't save us people?" a family member of the injured asked anxiously.

Xiao Mo ignored the many family members of the injured who were still kneeling in front of him and only looked at Ji Ke: "Look at them clearly. These people are your original sins. Their families are disgusting to me because of your greed and calculation. If it weren't for you and they came to me through normal means, I would naturally treat them the same way a normal healer treats ordinary people seeking help."

"This has nothing to do with us! We have also heard people say that you are not easy to talk to, saying that only in this way can we ask you to save people, so we will do this. You can't implicate us just because of this! Councilor Ji, please speak up Yeah! Do you think this is true?" Some of the injured's family members were anxious and didn't care about their position. They thought simply, I don't care how you make trouble above, in short, save my family first!

Ji Ke has lived for more than seventy years, so he is naturally not easy to deal with. He was surprised and slightly apologetic on the spot: "Mr. Xiao, have you misunderstood me? I just want to see what your abilities are and save some more heroes. That’s it. If you don’t want to save people, how can you ask me to plot against you?”

"This is not a calculation, what else is a calculation? If you succeed today and Mr. Xiao is forced to rescue people, he may have to work for nothing. Then will everyone be able to do this in the future? Then we These superpowers don't have to do anything else, just wait to be asked for help all day long!" The deputy captain of the Lion Head Mercenary Team spoke, a powerful guy who is famous for his willingness to mess around.

Liu Fanghua of Flying Eagle was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he started making noises.

There was some slight confusion in the venue.

President Zhou Fang said something to his staff and seemed interested in standing up and ending this farce.

Mr. Yang snorted coldly and looked at the stage, very angry. His son kept comforting him.

Bao Yiyong was very low-key tonight. He took Ah Ning to sit at another table in the front row and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

People such as various mercenary teams and various forces in the capital felt a little disappointed when they saw Ji Ke's thunder and rain. In fact, they all wanted to see Xiao Mo's healing ability.

The strategy that Ji Ke, Bao Yiyong and others came up with was very vicious, but it was based on the fact that Xiao Mo needed to establish a foothold in the capital, wanted to climb up the political field, and wanted more benefits.

Because Bao Yiyong was knocked out of Wanmong, he mistakenly thought that Xiao Mo was greedy for money. When he saw him, he got involved with Mr. Yang and others, and thought that he was good at management. If Xiao Mo is really such a person, then their plan It's very effective.

It's a pity that both of them misjudged Xiao Mo. Since Xiao Mo had green light spots and red snow around him, he had nothing to be afraid of.

When Ji Ke saw that the situation was not good for him, he immediately winked at someone in the audience.

Someone in the audience understood, and immediately started crying among the families of the injured and muttering something.

The family members of the injured quickly became excited. An old lady wailed and cried loudly: "The world has gone bad, and people's hearts have changed! What kind of moral kidnapping! Do you still have a conscience? So many People are waiting for you to save them! Are you just watching? You have a bad conscience! So bad! People like you will definitely be punished! God, why don't you open your eyes, my poor son! "

A young man kneeling on the ground clenched his fists and stood up with red eyes. This young man is about fourteen or fifteen years old, which is the age when he is most impulsive, most easily bewitched, and most easily influenced by others.

"Ah! Why are capable people so snobbish! They are all so bad!" The boy shouted angrily.

"No matter how much you say those things, it's just an excuse for your greed for money! It takes a million dollars to save one person. Do you think everyone is a fool! My father used to go out on missions, and he only consumed three to five dollars at most every day. That’s it! In the final analysis, you just say this because you don’t want to bother because we can’t give you that much conversion energy. You, you are just looking for excuses! As a healer, you only have money in your eyes, and you are not worthy of being a healer at all. A healer! If you don't save someone, you are a murderer!" The young man stood up and cried loudly.

Someone who had been arranged in advance also stood up, and his words were even more poisonous. He turned around and shouted to everyone present: "Everyone heard what this person just said. He said that just because he was angry, he couldn't save him even if he could! We are forced to make a choice about who to save. Is there such a healer? He is simply not worthy of such an ability!"

"Yes! He doesn't deserve it! It's better not to have such a healer!" Someone from the patient's family members shouted in anger.

"Since he can't save people, it's better to capture him and hand him over to the Academy of Sciences to find out the secrets in him that can save people. Maybe we can create more healers in the future!"

The discussion in the venue suddenly disappeared. So this is the real purpose of tonight's play? They ruined Xiao Mo's reputation and labeled him as being better off without treatment. Then, in order not to waste his abilities, it was better to send him to the Academy of Sciences as experimental material.

This strategy is very frustrating, but it has to be said that it works.

If Xiao Mo had to accept ten thousand dollars to save one person, how many people here could afford it? And how many times can you give it to someone you can afford

A million dollars, this is a huge sum of money that any ordinary family would not even dare to think about. Even if there is a person with super powers in their family, their monthly income from serving the country plus a certain amount of extra money will only be between 10 and 50 yuan. And these converted powers must be used for household purposes, and part of them must be provided for. They improve their abilities and replenish energy on their own, and the conversion energy has only appeared for more than two months. At full cost, many ordinary superpowers will not have more than fifty conversion energy in their hands.

If a powerful healer cannot serve most people, and even threatens the top group of people, then the meaning of this person's existence will be reduced to the minimum.

Originally, the idea of allowing a person with superpowers to enter the Academy of Sciences as research material would definitely offend the nerves of all people with superpowers. But if this healing power user is not of great use to other people with powers, and the Academy of Science studies it, it can bring them some benefit, then...

The president turned around and Luosang also raised his head. Many people were looking at Xiao Mo to see how he would break the situation.

Some people thought that Xiao Mo could promise to only charge a little conversion energy for saving people in the future, but if he spoke like this, then the threshold he originally set would become meaningless. To put it bluntly, in the future, as a person, as long as you have some transformation ability, you can force him to save people.

The situation seemed to suddenly become very unfavorable to Xiao Mo.

Anger flashed in Xiao Mo's eyes, but he endured it. His expression became more indifferent and more like someone. He seemed to be too lazy to defend himself, and only said two words very calmly: " Want to capture me as a test material? You can try. I will put my words here tonight. From now on, as long as it is people and things related to the member of the Ji Ke Council, including his subordinates, relatives, friends, others, etc., no matter how much they praise them If the energy comes, I won’t be able to cure any of them.”

"Ouch!" The noise got louder.

Some people were applauding, and some were shouting strangely.

Ji Ke was so angry that he clenched the edge of the podium. Xiao Mo's words were too cruel. A great healer said such words. If he becomes the climate, not to mention the people under his current command, if he wants to recruit other people with super powers in the future, can those people with super powers not give more consideration?

It was only then that Bao Yiyong turned to look at Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo's words surprised him. Did he completely break up with a senator? Where did he get the courage? Even though the country is in chaos now, his personal strength is still incomparable to that of the country. Has he decided to join Zhou Fang? However, Xiao Mo's actions made his subsequent plans easier to carry out.

"What do you mean?! You are heartless and you still want to pour dirty water on my head?" Ji Ke had to express his position. Half in anger and half in a pretense, he slapped the podium hard and cursed: " Do you think you are the only healer in the world? That hero’s family member just now was right. People like you only have interests in your eyes, and there is nothing at all... "

Xue Lihong put down her chopsticks. His move was very common, but the hearts of everyone in the audience jumped.

"That's enough!" A low-pitched roar came from the front row.

But this low-pitched roar made everyone in the banquet hall quiet down. Even Ji Ke on the stage subconsciously shut up and looked at the roarer.

The upright and enthusiastic old man seemed to have had enough. He slammed the table, stood up angrily, and said loudly: "That's enough! Ji Ke, at your age, you should accumulate good deeds!"

Next to him, Yang Feifan and others stood up together, "Dad, don't be angry."

"Yes, Mr. Yang, don't be angry. It's not worth being angry with certain people!"

Ji Ke wanted to refute, but Mr. Yang didn't give him this chance.

The old man covered his chest with one hand, pointed to the accounting department on the stage, then pointed to everyone in the audience, and finally pointed to Bao Yiyong, "The world has become like this. Some of you still don't think about how to save the situation quickly and how to solve more problems." They are still fighting for some power all day long! But you are fighting for yourselves, so why involve an innocent and upright person! Saying that Captain Xiao has no conscience? Saying that he is heartless and only cares about profit? Bah! !”

Mrs. Yang was so excited that the spittle she spat out touched Bao Yiyong's face.

Bao Yiyong picked up a tissue and wiped it silently without saying anything.

The old man took a breath and said to the crowd: "In your eyes, Captain Xiao is probably the kind of super sports car that can reach a thousand kilometers per hour, but as we all know, the faster a car runs, the more power it needs. 1.0 row Both cars have the same engine capacity and 6.0 displacement, but can they consume the same amount of gasoline, run at the same speed, and carry the same weight? As for cars that burn gasoline and diesel, their speed and energy consumption are even more disproportionate to those of cars that use rocket fuel.

Are you wondering why Captain Xiao consumes so much energy in treating one person? Tell you! Compared with Captain Xiao's abilities, the abilities of other healers are equivalent to the difference between an ordinary 1.0-displacement car and a rocket car! "

"Eh-?" There was a surprised voice.

No one thought Mr. Yang was lying. People who didn't know Mr. Yang also knew who this person was after being introduced by others.

Yes, Bao Yiyong took the lead in creating a lot of things, but Mr. Yang did more, but he rarely named the results. Most of the results were launched in the name of the Academy of Sciences. It is even now said that Bao Yiyong took the lead in researching and manufacturing the energy converter and The basic construction of the space inspection instrument was proposed by Mr. Yang, and the moderates of the Academy of Sciences also played half of the role in the final stable product.

It's just that some crucial problems were solved by Bao Yiyong, and this man was good at maneuvering and used his power to seize the leader's name from the beginning. Although Mr. Yang and the moderates were angry, they had to admit it for the sake of the overall situation. In addition, Mr. Yang is not a person who likes to be famous. As a result, everyone thinks that Bao Yiyong in the Academy of Sciences has the most real talent and knowledge.

But those who should know about Mr. Yang's achievements still know that he has no respect for anyone, including Bao Yiyong, but he respects himself as a teacher. Even if Mr. Yang slaps him in front of others, he can endure it, but Mr. Yang will not do such a thing.

Therefore, even if Ji Ke was in a high position, he would not dare to shut up Mr. Yang in front of so many people. Even if he was scolded, he could only smile bitterly.

Mr. Yang is a scientific researcher who only uses facts to persuade people.

"Generally speaking, how much energy a person with superpowers consumes is limited by their level of superpower and the amount of energy contained in their body. For example, for a level four superpower user, it is generally believed that the energy value in his body is about 400, but The maximum amount of energy that a superpower user without special training can actually use at one time is only about 100 energy. However, this is just a common understanding. The energy consumption of some special superpower users is not within this range, such as Captain Xiao when he rescued people. Consumption of energy is one special case.

This afternoon, Captain Xiao treated several patients with dense fog invasion syndrome in front of me and many scientific researchers from the Academy of Sciences, and we recorded his energy consumption right next to him. The actual recording results showed that, He spent at least 2,300 energy to save one person. "

"Hey-?!" There were exclamations again.

"What does this prove?" Yang Lao slapped the table, "It proves that depending on the injury situation, the energy Captain Xiao needs to consume should start from at least two thousand energy, and it is not impossible to consume ten thousand energy or even more! We even have speculations , once the level of the superpower increases in the future, and Captain Xiao needs to consume more energy when treating a superpower with a higher level than himself. So Ten Thousand Powers is really not his big talk, and I think this is why he The biggest reason why you can do things that other healers can’t!”

It turns out that this is the case, and many people showed surprised expressions. It turns out that this is the secret of Xiao Mo's ability being stronger than other healers.

"Besides, when did Captain Xiao say that he must accept ten thousand dollars when he saves people? Haven't you heard him say that he should judge based on the actual condition of the injured? That he has no conscience? He just saved seven people today when he arrived today Individuals! Seven people who are considered dead! But how much did they charge? If we hadn't measured it with instruments, we wouldn't have known how much they had lost!" Mr. Yang almost told Xiao Mo about the special treatment he gave them. It was hard to hold it in.

Yang Feifan coughed and stabbed him one last time: "For those who don't believe it, we can make the test results public."

Bao Yiyong raised his head and said, "I want one."

Yang Feifan looked at him with a very reluctant and reluctant expression. After being patted on the back of his head by his father, he reluctantly nodded: "Okay, you can come and get it tonight."

Bao Yiyong is not worried that these people will cheat, because their moral character does not allow them to do such a thing, so he does not doubt that Yang Lao said that Xiao Mo's one-time treatment will consume so much energy.

On the contrary, because of Yang Lao's explanation, he was not so angry at the omnipotent person. After all, he was not a superpower, but an ordinary person whose physique was maintained by healers. Xiao Mo consumes more than 2,000 energy to treat a person with superpowers, so why does it cost double or even more to treat an ordinary person? If you think about it this way, there is not much that can be done.

But this does not mean that Bao Yiyong is no longer interested in Xiao Mo. On the contrary, he is more interested: Xiao Mo can consume so much energy in one-time treatment, so how much energy does he actually have? If divided according to the current energy level, what level can his abilities be classified into? Most importantly, why is he able to possess and use so much energy

Bao Yiyong is not the only one who can think of this, but they are more concerned about whether they can possess so much energy and use so much energy. Think about it, their current superpowers are quite powerful. For example, a fireball can almost be used on the spot. Burning a person to death, but if they can wave hundreds or even tens of thousands of fireballs of the same power at the same time, then do they still need to look at the eyes of the government and the military

Selfish superpowers think this way, and the government and military don't want their superpowers to achieve such power.

The hearts of many people at the scene became hot again. Now, Xiao Mo's significance is not only a great healer, but also the secret of his ability to control so much energy.

The reason why Mr. Yang endured until now and didn't speak until he couldn't bear it anymore was because he was worried about this. He looked at Bao Yiyong, then at Ji Ke, the president and others, and sighed heavily.

Thinking about it, Mr. Yang still felt heartbroken. He pointed at the family members of the injured who were still kneeling and scolded them angrily: "You guys, you guys, you are supposed to be in a sympathetic position, but look what you have done? Under instructions from others, in front of so many people, you publicly force people to save people, and you still say that you are not morally kidnapping. How is your behavior different from those who force people to hand over their ancestral formulas in the name of all mankind? Don't tell me Captain Xiao has rescued seven people today and is exhausted. Even if he still has some energy left, if you do this, your warm hearts will be chilled by your anger! You even said that you want to use people as experimental materials? Why don't you go there yourself? Making experimental materials? Huh?"

The families of the injured bowed their heads.

Mr. Yang was irritated, "Why are you still kneeling down? Whoever arranged for you to come is the one you go to!"

The families of the injured were all stupid, including those who were arranged to come in. They didn’t know what to do. They might not understand the professional knowledge Yang Feifan said, but at least they understood the reason why Xiao Mo was stronger than other healers. The reason is that he can output much more energy at one time than others.

"It really takes so much energy..." Everyone has a sense of shame. The families of the injured knelt down and begged Xiao Mo in front of so many people tonight. They originally thought that they were quite reasonable and felt that they were doing it for their families. Sacrifice, but when the positions were reversed, they became the unreasonable party. Being watched by so many people, a sense of shame immediately overwhelmed them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation... I'm sorry, please don't be angry, I..." The face of the boy who scolded Xiao Mo before turned red. Children of this age are easy to be impulsive, but they are also brave enough to admit their mistakes. They don't have the worries of adults and feel If you think you are wrong, then you are wrong.

"Hit me, I'm willing to help you, I'm willing to do anything, as long as you can..." Tears flowed down the boy's face. He stood up and stopped kneeling, but he didn't want to leave either. He wanted to save his father. Even if Xiao Mo beats him and scolds him, it will be fine.

Seeing the young man like this, Xiao Mo couldn't bear it anymore. In addition, the anger he had held in his chest had almost been vented, and he had said everything he needed to say. He sighed and said, "I am not omnipotent. Whether I can save you or not, I You need to see the patient to know.”

Xue Lihong: ... I knew it would be like this. Although I already know my wife as a person, I still feel unhappy.

The families of the injured doubt their ears. What does this sentence mean

There were those who were so excited that they kowtowed to Xiao Mo twice, got up and shouted: "Bring this person over quickly!"

When this person shouted, everyone, including the young man, ran to the other side yelling, and each one ran faster than the other, everyone wanted to be the first.

Xiao Mo sympathizes with the families of the injured, but that doesn't mean he will let Ji Ke go.

"Member Ji, these comatose superpowers are all heroes who serve the country and the people. Xiao respects them and is willing to treat them. I believe that since you sent them here, you must have prepared the treatment fee. Wait for me Please give me as much as you need. Don't worry, I won't ask you for a penny more. If you don't believe me, you can ask people from the Academy of Sciences to use instruments to test it on the spot." His Majesty the System just said, you can test it at will, and you can use whatever value you want. .

Ji Ke's ruddy old face trembled slightly. Your mother! In order to deal with Xiao Mo, he prepared a dozen of the most serious patients, all of whom could only breathe. If Xiao Mo saves one person, it consumes at least 2,000 energy. For these twelve people, that is 24,000 energy! This is just the lowest estimate.

Ji Ke listened to what Yang Lao and others said. Although he wanted to test it on the spot, he didn't dare. He was afraid that the data of more than 5,000 or even 10,000 per person would be measured. Will he give it to him or not

"There is no need for testing. According to what Mr. Yang said before, one person needs about two thousand energy, right? Then go with this number. But I heard that Mr. Xiao has treated seven people today. Do you need a break? You My ability has been proven by Mr. Yang. It doesn't matter if you don't take action tonight, or you can just save one or two. The others might as well wait until you have a good rest. What do you think?" Ji Ke's heart was bleeding.

Everyone present with an IQ above 90 understands that after tonight, those who have not had a chance to receive treatment may never get this chance again. It is not easy to let a few people who only have one breath swallow this breath.

But would Xiao Mo let Ji Ke off so easily? If you dare to plot against him, you have to bear the price of plotting against him! Didn't you ask him to save people? He just did.

It's just that Ji Ke has to pay the treatment fees for saving people. After he rescues those people, whether those people will still belong to Ji Ke is another matter. He won't swallow what he said tonight.

"The wind is picking up." His Majesty the System suddenly said.
