Chapter 681 Destiny Game! (4K chapters)

"Understood, I'll figure out a way. If he doesn't compromise, you guys can come over and let Kux try it tomorrow. His computer skills are very good. Tell Clough and the others not to try to crack it rashly. Take a rest early, that's all."

Wu Qian hung up the phone after giving instructions. If the problem is found before departure, London will definitely find someone to solve the problem, but in Ethiopia, it may be difficult.

Kux was not far away. He seemed to have heard his name from the BOSS. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask anything.

Wu Qian frowned and walked to the front of the crowd, waved his hand, and walked side by side with Kuleta towards the underground passage.

Everyone could feel that Boss Wu's mood had obviously changed after he answered a phone call. No one talked too much, and everyone walked quietly. The sound of footsteps in the empty underground passage was very loud and hollow.

There is still a slight damp smell in the newly built underground passage. Seeing the warehouses on both sides of the underground passage, Wu Qian has a sense of entering the former Soviet military base.

I secretly thought in my heart, it is indeed a project supervised by the old Maozi, it has the characteristics of the times...

Because these warehouses are well sealed, and the storage conditions of some materials are relatively harsh, Kuretta also specially installed air conditioners for individual warehouses.

The temporary houses where the workers live do not have air conditioners. After all, the cables have not yet been laid in the valley, and the electricity is provided by several high-power generators.

But even so, ordinary laborers are equipped with desk fans, while high-level technicians can enjoy the occasional supply of ice.

The conditions are difficult, and we overcome them together.

After a while, a group of people came to an iron gate, and Kuretta asked the people around him to open the iron gate.

The newly installed iron door was very heavy, and it slid sideways without any noise from the oily track.

The moment the iron gate was opened, a gust of cold air rushed towards the face, and then a dinner plate flew out of the gate, almost hitting the head of the guard who opened the gate.

"A group of beasts, how long are you going to lock me up? What are you feeding me? Pig food? The cows on the Pampas grassland eat more than I do. You are abusing me, and you have no human rights. I want to drink pure water!"

There was a sound of cursing.

Wu Qian and Kuretta looked at each other, and they could see the blue veins on Kureta's forehead. Wu Qian patted Kuretta's shoulder and advised, "Don't argue with nerds, but I really didn't expect that you still I’m willing to use the air conditioner for this guy.”

After all, Wu Qian walked into the warehouse.

Kuretta wanted to explain a few words. He was really reluctant to waste electricity to use the air conditioner for Albert, but this is not a residential house after all. If the air conditioner is not turned on, Albert may have turned into a corpse in a day.

The warehouse is not very big, about [-] square meters in shape, square and square, and the height is about three meters to less than four meters. It is unconventional and neat. Two large wattage tungsten lamps provide basic lighting for the warehouse.

Speaking of it, Kureta is still somewhat humanitarian. Not only was he afraid that Albert would turn on the air conditioner due to suffocation caused by the sealed environment, but he also gave him a large wooden box as a bed.

It’s just that Elbert’s temper is not small, and he has tossed the warehouse into disrespect. The food is all over the floor, and there is a wooden barrel with a lid in the corner. That wooden barrel is placed very securely. If it is knocked over, he will feel very uncomfortable himself.

About [-] hours ago, Albert was completely different from now. When he was at Heathrow International Airport, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but now he was disheveled and disheveled.

Elbert knew Wu Qian, and when he saw that the Lord had finally arrived, he said, "Mr. Wu, you are finally willing to come. Oh, Geese, you made me wait for a century."

"Those men of yours are so rude. Look at how they tossed me. They didn't even give me a bite of my full meal. I was so hungry that I was about to pass out."

Wu Qian walked slowly towards Albert, and he turned his head to signal David and Ball, who followed him, to close the door.

On the ground, the pasta stained with tomato sauce had dried up into a ball, and a meat sausage, a specialty of Maoziguo, was thrown aside, and was divided into two by a shoe sole.

Wu Qian looked at the scene in the warehouse without any expression on his face. He looked up at Albert and said, "Professor Albert, first of all, I want to correct one thing. Mr. Kuretta is not my subordinate." ,he is my friend."

"In addition, please don't waste food. After all, there is a huge food shortage in this country. It's embarrassing for you to do this."

With a faint disdain on Albert's face, he smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Wu, did you come here to teach me to be thrifty? My God, it's really interesting..."

While talking, Albert sat back on his wooden box bed, leaned against the wall, and looked at Wu Qian who was standing in the middle of the warehouse.

Looking at his appearance, Albert was not panicked at all, probably because he was confident.

Wu Qian glanced left and right, and found that there was no chair, but there was a square wooden box that was probably used as a small coffee table at the end of the "bed". He lifted the wooden box and walked to the place about three meters in front of Albert. position, put down the wooden box and sit down.

"Elbert, why did you betray me, the lab and your colleagues?"

Wu Qian didn't ask this question at first, but he remembered what he had promised Yao Xinlu, and felt that it was better to follow a formality.

Elbert spread his hands and said: "It's come to this point, and I don't say any hypocritical words such as for the motherland and the people. My motive is very simple, for money and to live a good life."

Wu Qian nodded, but the other party was honest, he said: "I guess you must have imagined how generous rewards you will get after success, but have you ever thought about the cost of betrayal, that is, the price of failure?"

The faint smile on Albert's face slowly froze, and he didn't want to think about it. This was the most painful gap he had ever felt in his life.

Of course, he thought about a generous return. From the moment he decided to steal the experimental results, he had been fantasizing. He even planned more than ten templates for what he would do after getting the money. Unfortunately, everything was good. shattered yesterday.

From the moment he was caught, Elbert began to think about the price of failure. It didn't take long for him to understand the price of failure. It might cost him his life, but he felt that he still had bargaining chips that could be exchanged .

"Fack!" Elbert scolded angrily, stood up and wanted to get mad, but when he saw Bauer and David with cold eyes, he suppressed the fury in his heart and said, "I've lived in this kennel for two years. Ten hours, I don’t want to continue chatting with you, so let’s say something useful.”

"The reason why you came here, you know, and I understand, just ask you one thing, do you want to get back the password?"

Facing Elbert's question, David and Bauer were quite puzzled. Didn't they come directly to sanction this ghost? Why did the other party suddenly have a bargaining chip? But they just thought in their hearts and didn't show it on their faces. .

Wu Qian nodded without hesitation. He already had a plan for how to deal with this greedy and bottomless person.

The faint disdainful smile returned to Albert's face, and he said, "I wonder what Mr. Wu plans to use to exchange the password?"

"I don't know what you want to exchange for the password?" Wu Qian asked back.

Albert snorted softly, and said, "Send me back to London, and then book me a plane ticket to Washington, and I need another 500 million pounds! After I land safely, you will get those sets of codes." .”

A few sets of passwords, the matter is a little more complicated than expected. Elbert not only encrypted on the laptop, but also used the limited time to tamper with the two hard drives.

Wu Qian sighed, and said: "I think Professor Albert's ingenuity should not conceive such a stupid plan, why don't we discuss a more meaningful plan."

Albert raised his hand to signal Wu Qian to continue.

"You tell me the password, I will allow you to return to the experimental team, and increase your salary by five times, how about it?"

After hearing Wu Qian's words, Elbert's eyes lit up. If his salary increases five times, it will be higher than Clough's salary. It will be nearly 70 pounds a year, and he can live without any guilt. What a wonderful life without baggage.

But he didn't believe there was such a good thing in the world.

"Oh ho ho ho, Mr. Wu, with all due respect, the conditions you offer are indeed generous, but I don't believe you. I know how much I have, and I can't compare with Clough."

Elbert was outspoken.

Wu Qian crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Professor Elbert, don't think too much, how can you be comparable to Professor Clough? After coming to Solan, his salary will increase eight times, far more than yours. Strong, you are only at the middle and lower levels in the laboratory, and even Clough's students are paid more than you."

"Uh..." Elbert was suddenly speechless. He himself was indeed not one of the top scientific researchers in the laboratory, but in any case, he was not inferior to Clough's students.

"Are you being fair? How can I be inferior to Sam (Clough student), it's a joke!"

Wu Qian looked at Wen Albert, who had been misled, and felt a little funny. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that a person who betrayed me wants to get the same treatment as before without any punishment? Is it wishful thinking!"

When Albert heard Wu Qian's words, the expression on his face changed drastically, indicating intense psychological activities.

If he can really earn 70 pounds a year and return to the laboratory to work again, it can be said that it is the best way at the moment. He is very clear about the amount of chips in his hand, and he can't exchange 500 million pounds at all.

He was just asking for the price, and at the same time, he was waiting for Wu Qian to sit down and bargain.

In the end, he did not expect Wu Qian to propose a better plan, and it seemed feasible.

Under the seemingly unreasonable arrangement, it was full of temptations for Albert, but he still did not completely relax his vigilance.

"Mr. Wu, are you really willing to let me go like this? No longer hold me accountable?"

Wu Qian shook his head and said: "Of course it's not that easy. I haven't said my conditions yet. First, you give me the password. I need to see your sincerity in repenting. Then you have an 83% chance of getting a new life." .

If you get a new life in the end, you will be able to return to the experiment, but until the electromagnetic ejection experiment is successful, you cannot leave Solan, for any reason. "

Elbert was stunned for a moment. The other party's words contained a lot of information, especially the second one. Why was it so strange? 80.00% three. Does this probability contain some cosmic mystery?

"Mr. Wu, what do you mean by the second item you just said?"

With a sneer on Wu Qian's face, he said, "Do you really think that you can be forgiven so easily? Impossible, Elbert. Even if you admit your mistake and are willing to give the password with both hands, I will still entrust your fate to Heaven will judge."

"Have you heard of the Revolver of Destiny?" Wu Qian said.

After the words fell, Elbert's pupils shrank. Of course he knew the famous game, loaded a bullet in a revolver, and then shot himself...

"80.00% three... I see, I see..."

Elbert finally understood the meaning of 80.00% three. If only one shot is fired, the probability of survival is 80.00% three. If the second shot is fired, the probability of survival is only 60.00% six.

Wu Qian looked at the gray-faced Elbert, and said, "Without a password, I will spend at most some time to crack it slowly, and you will be buried in this place. If you are willing to give it a try, I can give you 80.00% three The chance to be reborn, choose."

The strength in Albert's body seemed to be drained. He sat down on the bed and asked in a low voice, "A shot?"

Wu Qian nodded and said, "One shot."

"It seems that I don't have a third way to choose, does it?" Elbert asked.

Wu Qian continued to nod without speaking.

Albert was very entangled in his heart. He really wanted to shout domineeringly, Falk squid ASS, and then die, but he didn't have the courage, and the expression on his face changed. In the end, he stretched out towards Wu Qian. palm.

"Pen and paper."

I have to compromise, and there is still hope if I compromise. If I don't compromise, I won't be able to cause substantial damage to Wu Qian, which is meaningless.

A few minutes later, Wu Qian walked out of the underground warehouse area with the password written by Albert, and contacted Barbara for confirmation.

More than ten minutes later, Wu Qian returned to the underground warehouse, and there was no problem with the password.

For Wu Qian, 10 minutes passed in a flash, but for Albert, who was about to face the judgment of fate, it was very long.

The iron door opened again, and Albert was taken aback. He saw Wu Qian holding a shiny revolver in his hand, like a sword of judgment.

"Elbert, thank you for your cooperation, next..."

After all, Wu Qian opened the barrel of the gun in front of Albert, with a bang, the bullets jingled in the palm of his hand, and then he quickly turned the unique magazine of the revolver.

No one could see the rapidly rotating barrel.

Wu Qian flicked his wrist, and with a click, the barrel of the gun closed, and then he opened his palm, and five orange-yellow copper bullets fell to the ground, making a crisp and pleasant jingling sound.
