End of the World Cycle

These people were well-off, and just as they got home and hadn't finished their meal, someone came to their door. There were two people, an old woman in her fifties and a woman in her thirties.

They were dressed neatly and cleanly, and both of them were carrying a large bag. When Xie Qin opened the door, he quickly put down the backpack and took out the things inside, a jade ornament of a koi fish, and some jade necklaces. The cloth pocket contained gold jewelry and two diamond rings. The rings were not small, so it seemed that they should be enough.

"We know the weight of these. Together they are half a pound of gold, 2.5 carats of diamonds, and nine pounds and seven ounces of jade. I need three ounces to exchange for three people. Do you think you can..."

Xie Qin glanced at these things and nodded, seeing that they were genuine and of good quality.

"Thank you, thank you. Could you please go pick them up now?"

"It's too late. I need to go to bed. Give me the names of the three people. I'll pick them up early tomorrow morning."

"This... OK. Three people, one is called He Tianle, one is called He Tianqi, my husband and brother-in-law. The other is Aunt Qin's son, Yang Borui." The woman said nervously. How arrogant this man was in the morning, how humble he is now. The other old man next to him didn't say a word. He only looked at these things reluctantly when he left.

After closing the door, the things were put into the space and absorbed by the system. The progress bar on the task bar moved forward a little. The next morning, Zhang Mingfang knew that Xie Qin was going out, so she steamed buns and warmed up the milk early.

Xie Qin finished washing up and came out of the bedroom just in time to have a hot breakfast.

"Your master came this morning. He heard about what happened yesterday and asked if you wanted help. I said no, and sent him back."

"Yes. By the way, don't open the door when I'm not home these few days. No matter who knocks on the door, just pretend you can't hear it. I'll go give something to Doctor Lan and Master and give them some instructions."

"Is something going to happen?"

"Yeah. Anyway, just don't go out."

After returning from Xu Kai, Xie Qin himself could feel that people's moods were slowly changing. There were too many people living in the building. Some were still rational now, but some were just unreasonable in borrowing boats. But when they were really desperate, they would do anything.

She was not too worried about Liang Pengfei. After all, his strength was there and most people did not dare to target him. But it was different for Lan Yining. An old man and a child were the prime candidates for robbery.

Carrying a bag full of vegetables, Xie Qin first went to Dr. Lan on the 36th floor. As soon as he arrived, he saw the open door, and there were two people standing at the door. Lan Yining was sitting and examining someone.

Seeing Xie Qin coming, he smiled and nodded. The little grandson beside him also ran over happily when he saw Xie Qin.

"Sister Qinqin! You're here! Where's Ranran?" The child's name is Xu Nuo, and he is lively and cheerful. During this period, Xie Ran has been coming to their house for rehabilitation, and the two have long become good friends.

In addition, Xie Qin would give Xu Nuo some snacks from time to time, which made the child like Xie Qin and Xie Ran even more.

"Ranran is at home. I'll come and play with you later."

"it is good."

"Doctor Lan, if you are busy, I will go to my master first. I will come back to see you later."

"it is good."

When he arrived at Liang Pengfei's place, Liang Pengfei thought Xie Qin was here for training, and was about to change into training clothes, but was stopped by Xie Qin.

"Master, I'm leaving right away. I'm going to go out and pick up those people today and I won't be leaving. I'm here to bring you some food."

"We still have some food, but we don't have much to eat. You can keep some for yourselves. What happened?"

"It's okay. I always go to the mountains to pick vegetables. Nothing happened now, but it may be the case in a few days. It's still okay in our building, but other places with people are in chaos. I came here to tell you to stay at home recently and don't open the door to anyone."

"Row."

Xie Qin left three cabbages and a few carrots and left. When he arrived at Lan Yining's house, the patient had already left. Lan Yining also listened to the same instructions and left the same vegetables.

When we got to the yacht, there were already several people waiting there. In addition to the two people who came last night, there were also two women and a teenager of about fifteen or sixteen waiting there.

All three of them were carrying large bags. A mother and son took out a jade cabbage and a few broken diamonds. The other woman took out eight 250-gram gold bars from her bag.

"Five people? There's one more person we don't need to bring along, right?"

Several people looked at each other in silence, and Xie Qin did not ask any more questions, and just drove away. But in just forty minutes, Xie Qin arrived at the place where he had dropped off several people yesterday. Several people had already leaned against the window when Xie Qin approached. But there were only three people.

When I got closer, I saw ropes tied to the aluminum alloy frame of the window. The table in the room was piled with salvaged supplies. The three people's hair was soaked, their lips were purple, and their skin was white. It seemed that they had just been in the water. The tight rope meant that there were three people underwater.

"Little girl! Are you here to pick us up? We thought you abandoned us." The three people were extremely excited.

"Of course, your family has paid for the passage, so come on board."

"Travel expenses? What travel expenses?"

"As agreed, one pound of gold for one kilometer. I will come to pick you up once your family members are gathered together."

"You! You..." The three of them were suddenly speechless. They wanted to say something but didn't dare to offend the girl. They also had a moment of evil thought that they could go back if they killed the girl.

But the remaining constraints of the law told them that they still couldn't kill people. But it was not impossible for them to find the girl together and return the things after they returned.

"Can we take the supplies back?"

"Each person has 50 kilograms of supplies. Anything beyond that can be exchanged for gold. Ten kilograms of supplies is equivalent to one kilogram of gold."

"You! Little sister, don't be so arrogant. Do you know how much a pound of gold costs? Gold is calculated by gram, and one gram costs 500 yuan. Your one pound is 250,000 yuan. This is a sky-high price."

"Then you have money, so find someone to pick you up now." Xie Qin's tone did not change, and no emotion could be heard from it, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The three were speechless and didn't say much, but they couldn't hide the unwillingness in their eyes. Just as they finished their conversation, the rope moved. Soon the three people floated to the surface, and they were all excited to see Xie Qin.

Xie Qin glanced at them calmly and said, "You can talk to the three of them. We can set off back in ten minutes."

He closed the cockpit window and did not come out. Xie Qin sat in the cockpit chair and waited.

Although the three of them were a little unhappy when they heard it, they didn't dare to express it. They each searched for things they could take away in the supplies. When the time was up, Xie Qin moved the boat forward a little, just next to the window. He walked out of the cockpit with an umbrella and stood on the deck.

Xie Qin called out the names of five people one by one. He recognized the person who didn't pay the ransom. A young man in his twenties. About 1.8 meters tall, a little thin, and white. His hair was very long, so long that it could be tied up. It should have not been cut since the end of the world. The man didn't seem surprised that he didn't hear his name.

The man looked at Xie Qin through his hair and spoke.

"Take me away, and I'll give you all the supplies I've salvaged."

"I'm not short of supplies."

"Then what do you lack?"

"Gold, diamonds, whatever."

"I don't have it but I know where I can find it. I can take you there."

Xie Qin looked at the man without saying anything. The man seemed a little anxious and added two more words: "A lot!"

"Then wait for me here. Once you bring me what I want, you can go home."

"Can you please bring me some food back... please. Just a little bit, at least let my mom wait until I get back."

Xie Qin took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to the man. A small bag of bread was placed in Xie Qin's hand.

"For every pound of weight, add one ounce of gold."

"Okay. 27-4, the password is," the man moved closer and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

The journey was relatively smooth. The deck was full of food, and the five men were already sitting under the shelter behind the deck to avoid the rain. Their faces were not very good, and they were probably thinking about how to get the gold and diamonds back from Xie Qin.

The group of people were still waiting there, and they were all very excited to see their families coming back. As soon as the five people landed, they were surrounded by their families. After unloading the supplies, before the men could even talk about the travel expenses, they were dragged back by their own people. After closing the door, they realized that Xie Qin had a gun in his hand, and he was not afraid of killing people at all. Several people were afraid that they had done something excessive before coming back.

Otherwise, if this ignorant little girl pulled out a gun, she would probably lose her life. Fortunately, these families were not poor, and they brought back a lot of supplies, so they did not look for Xie Qin again. They just wanted to wait for the flood to recede and the city to return to normal. There would always be a place to seek justice for them.

Xie Qin did not go home directly, but went to Room 27 on the th floor. Following the password given by the man, Xie Qin successfully entered the room.

"Is Xiaozhe back?" A gentle female voice came, but Xie Qin did not reply. Instead, he walked straight towards the direction of the voice.

The layout of this room is the same as his own. Although it is very clean, there is still a bit of smell near the woman's bedroom. After opening the door and going in, Xie Qin found that the woman was paralyzed on the bed.

Lying flat on the bed, unable to move except for her hands and head. The smell in the room should be the smell of feces that the woman couldn't hold back. There were rice balls and potatoes and a large pot of water within the reach of the woman's hands.

"Who are you?" the woman asked in surprise when she saw Xie Qin.

"I'm Xiaozhe's friend, and he asked me to bring you some food."

When the woman saw that it was a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, she was no longer nervous.

"Where's Xiaozhe? Where did he go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"He went out to find something to eat. He will be back soon." Xie Qin didn't say anything more. He just put all the bread where the woman could reach it and left.

The woman wanted to ask something else, but Xie Qin had already left the bedroom, so she didn't ask. After leaving the bedroom, Xie Qin accidentally saw another bedroom with an open door. There were many computers in it, with split screens all over the wall. Even if there was a power outage and the computers were not turned on, Xie Qin was shocked when she saw it. She couldn't help but wonder what that man did.

I didn't stay long. It was lunch time when I got home. I didn't know Xie Qin would be back, so I didn't cook much. Just a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a plate of stir-fried meat. These are just right for the two of us at home. I was in a hurry to go out, so I asked my mother not to add more dishes. I scanned the space and found a plate of cold-mixed Fuqi Feipian, and took two white flour buns. It was just right to finish them together.

It was only one o'clock when Xie Qin arrived at the warehouse supermarket. The man was waiting at the window, and when he saw Xie Qin coming, he finally showed some expression and looked much more relaxed.

Xie Qin did not let the man get on the boat, but got off the boat herself and jumped into the house.

"Name, age, occupation."

"Miao Zhe, 21, unemployed."

"Unemployed?"

"Yes, unemployed."

Xie Qin looked at Miao Zhe meaningfully, and then smiled.

"Take me there."

"It's on the basement floor of Osei Bank."

"Treasure House No. 1?"

"Correct."

"Do you think what you said is useful? Everyone knows that there are treasures down there. But who knows where exactly and how to get in?"

"Give me a computer and I can find a way to get you in."

"Even in the water?"

“Even in the water.”

"Do you think I'm easy to fool?" A gun was pointed at Miao Zhe's temple. The muzzle was cold, and it might smell like gunpowder, telling Miao Zhe that it was a real gun.

"You've already wasted two hours of my time. Tell me what you're worth, or I don't mind using you to fill my dissatisfaction."

"I... I have a way to get you into Treasure House No. 1." Miao Zhe was a little scared, but his tone was still calm.

"Just you? I think you'll have to show some ability to make me believe what you say."

"Give me a computer with power. I can let you into Vault One."

"Wait."

After saying that, Xie Qin put down the gun and returned to the yacht. He took out the laptop from the space and walked out of the yacht.

Miao Zhe was typing away on his computer. Twenty minutes later, a holographic image appeared on the original computer screen.

"A 3D map of Treasury No. 1. The entrance and exit are very clear. Everything inside is controlled by an AI system. I can hack its system and help you open the door. But the personal belongings safe inside requires a key."

"That's enough." Xie Qin looked at the perfect hologram and was moved. Treasure House No. 1 was where the rich people in Dongyue City kept their treasures. As long as she knew where it was and could open the one-meter-thick steel door, it would not be difficult to take the things inside.

"It's soaked in water. Won't the system have problems?"

"No, because it is built on the third floor below ground, the first thing to consider is waterproofing. It is not only waterproof, but there is also a special filtering room after entering the gate, which means that as long as you enter the gate, you can stay inside and slowly figure out how to get things."

"Are you sure you can open the gate?"

"You should have heard about the theft at Treasury No. 1 at the beginning of the year, right? I was the one who opened the door."

"So, you are a thief by profession?"

"Hacker, I'm a hacker. I only open the door for money, I don't do anything else."

"Take me with you. After the mission is accomplished, I will not only waive your boat ticket, but also give you ten kilograms of fresh vegetables."

"make a deal."
