Chapter 140 - 140 Let's Make A Bet

140 Let’s Make A Bet

On the Mi-26.

Tang Tang was actually very interested in flying. She had been remaining in the cockpit and learning intently.

This made Wang Ran a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, they were about to reach their destination.

While looking down, one could see that the situation in J-city was not very good.

The ground was covered in ruins.

The roofs of many high-rise buildings were painted with SOS and other distress signals.

Wang Ran’s helicopter gave many people hope.

They waved desperately at the helicopter from the roof, hoping to attract attention and be saved.

They had been trapped for more than a week and finally saw a helicopter in the air.

Their hopes were ignited instantly.

But…

Wang Ran ignored everyone.

These people were not related to him at all. He must be out of his mind to save them.

One must know that the fuel consumption of a helicopter was related to the load.

If he took these people onto the plane, he would only waste fuel for no reason.

Moreover, in the current world, if he brought strangers aboard, there was a 100% chance that some of them would harbor thoughts of seizing the plane.

Therefore, in order to avoid these troubles, Wang Ran chose to ignore all of them.

“You’re really cold-blooded,”

Liu Shiyao muttered from the side.

As a civil servant and a researcher, she had a strong sense of sympathy for the survivors.

“What’s wrong? Are you a representative of the salvation army?

“How many people are calling for help in this city?

“Do you think I can save him?

“Besides, even if I let them board the plane, where am I taking them?

“Don’t think I’ll just bring people back to my base.

“Besides, do you think they’ll thank you for saving them?”

Wang Ran faintly smiled.

“You saved their lives. Why won’t they thank you?”

Liu Shiyao was a little confused.

She was an excellent scientist, but she didn’t really understand people’s hearts.

Especially in this environment.

“How about I make a bet with you?”

Wang Ran smiled.

“A bet? How so?”

Liu Shiyao was stunned.

“I’m just going to save a random group of people.

“If they behave themselves for ten minutes, you win.

“If they do anything extreme, I’ll win. What do you think?”

Wang Ran asked with a smile.

“Good! Let’s bet!

“What are the stakes?”

Liu Shiyao was still very confident in herself.

After all, humans were good. How could someone repay kindness with ingratitude?

“If you win, I’ll personally send you to your people.

“If I win…

“Don’t leave. Stay in my base and work for me for three months.

“How about that?”

Wang Ran asked.

It had not been easy for such talent to come by. On top of that, she was a top researcher specializing in biology and viruses, which was much more valuable than being a mere handyman.

However, for a patriotic person like Liu Shiyao, it would be impossible to force her to stay.

It was different if they made a bet. If he made her swear in the name of her country, he would not worry about her going back on her words.

If Wang Ran was unfortunate enough to pick a truly good, grateful soul…

He could have a zombie scratch her.

When the time came, he would give her some of his blood, and she would be as loyal as Momo and Xiaoyu.

Of course, Wang Ran did not want to do this unless he had no other choice.

After all, he did not know if it would affect her intellect.

Xiaoyu and Momo were both a little ditzy. It was unclear if it was because they were zombies.

“Three months…” She said.

Liu Shiyao’s heart began to struggle.

Wang Ran’s offer was very tempting.

Personally flying her to the north…

With Wang Ran’s strength, he would definitely be able to do it.

However, if she lost, she would have to stay here for three months.

Three months…

Based on the current situation, the government would have its hands full for the next few months.

It would probably be a few months before they could send someone to pick her up.

Alright! Three months it is!

In any case, as long as she had sufficient equipment, she could continue her research in Wang Ran’s base.

“Alright, it’s a deal!”

Liu Shiyao nodded heavily.

High risks led to high rewards, she was going to earn her dues!

She believed that humans were good, and the survivors would definitely cherish their hard-won safety all the more.

Wang Ran smiled. Liu Shiyao had walked into his trap.

The next step was to choose the target.

Through the window, Wang Ran used his extraordinary eyesight to scan the nearby roofs.

A high-rise residential building caught Wang Ran’s attention.

On the roof, the dark red “SOS” was particularly eye-catching.

It was probably written in blood.

It’s here!

“Jiaxin, go to the building with the brown outer wall.

“There’s no need to land on the roof. I don’t think it can support our weight. Just hover over it,”

Wang Ran ordered.

“Alright!”

Wu Jiaxin nodded, not questioning Wang Ran’s order in the slightest.

The Mi-26 soon arrived at the top of the building.

There were six survivors, five men and one woman, on the roof.

When they saw the helicopter, they jumped up in excitement.

In their eyes, this was a f*cking rescue helicopter!

Wang Ran opened the cabin door and lowered a rope ladder.

The six survivors quickly climbed up.

Wang Ran withdrew the rope ladder and closed the cabin door.

The six survivors heaved a sigh of relief.

One could imagine how difficult it was to survive during this period of time.

After boarding the plane, they could finally lower their guard.

“Ah, thank you.

“Are you guys from a rescue agency?”

A man in a suit said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He used to be a high-class white-collar worker. Even in the apocalypse, he still produced the presence of an elite.

“We were just passing by and saved you guys,”

Wang Ran said while drinking his Coke.

“Burp…”

After drinking too much Coke, Wang ran couldn’t help but burp.

The burp made the six survivors swallow their saliva.

Coke!

Before the apocalypse, it was high-calorie junk food.

But now!

It was simply the elixir of life!

They were staring at the coke in Wang Ran’s hand.

It was obvious that they all wanted to have a drink.

“I’m sorry, I only have one bottle of Coke.”

After Wang Ran finished speaking, he finished it in one gulp.

The six survivors laughed awkwardly.

It was only one bottle, so it was reasonable for him to finish it up on his own.

After all, he had saved them.

At that moment, Wang Ran took out a bottle of Sprite.

He had just taken it out of the small refrigerator on the plane. It was glistening and cold.

The sound of the Sprite being opened made the survivors lick their lips.

This was a little too much!
