After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately
Chapter 329 Negotiation
The people on the upper floors sent a middle-aged man down to negotiate. This man was tall, with a dark complexion, and facial features resembling those of a Caucasian man. He looked to be of mixed race.
Behind him were two bodyguards, a man and a woman, who were both slim and wearing half masks.
The first thing the man said when he saw Li Ke was: "Hello, my name is Ben. Are you the leader of this incident? What do you want? We are all on the same boat, and we all hope to resolve this peacefully without causing greater conflicts and losses."
The reason why both sides are not getting too angry now is that they are all in the same boat. If the boat is destroyed, no one will feel good.
Li Ke signaled Niu Dazhuang to come and communicate, and Niu Dazhuang said directly: "We want freedom, equal treatment, and the same food and drink. Can you do it?"
Ben frowned. "That's definitely not possible in the current situation. With limited resources, we can't do that. And because of the flood, a lot of things have been washed away or buried underneath. We'll definitely need people to salvage them."
Niu Dazhuang said impatiently: "You can't agree to anything, what are you doing here?"
Ben's expression did not change. He said, "Although we cannot give equal freedom to all people, we can allow some people to have these and enjoy them together with those above us."
Niu Dazhuang's face showed anticipation: "Are you serious? Can my brothers enjoy everything just like you guys up there?"
The other party nodded in confirmation: "Yes, twenty places. As a leader, you can enjoy the same treatment as our boss."
Ben's eyes stayed on Li Ke, and he saw hesitation in his eyes. Niu Dazhuang greedily asked, "Twenty is not enough, we have eight or nine hundred people!"
After hearing what Niu Dazhuang said, the hesitation in Li Ke's eyes faded away and he waited for Ben's answer.
Ben's chest rose and fell, and he said helplessly, "It's definitely not possible with so many people. Fifty people at most. Otherwise, we should just stay in our own areas and not disturb each other while the ship is safe."
Niu Dazhuang bargained habitually: "One hundred people! All of them are your people. If we go up there, we must have our own brothers. Otherwise, who knows if you have bad intentions?"
Ben obviously didn't understand the essence of bargaining, and he didn't have much patience, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, just a hundred people, when will you go up? I can arrange for someone to tidy up your accommodation in advance."
Niu Dazhuang met Li Ke's eyes and asked again: "Where are you going to put us? You just said that we will have the same treatment as your boss, so we want to live on the top floor."
Ben's eyes were slightly impatient. "You can live on the 14th floor. The 15th floor isn't very big and can't accommodate so many people. It's already full. This is the best we can give you. Don't push your luck."
Niu Dazhuang decided to quit while he was ahead: "Then you guys go up and clean up your accommodation. Do it well and carefully. If we find that we are being treated differently, don't blame us for making trouble. Let's arrange the things down there and go up to look at the new accommodation tomorrow."
Ben's gaze finally lingered on Li Ke for a moment. He didn't know why this leader didn't say a word, but judging from her expression, she should be able to understand their conversation. Was she a cold person or was there a reason she couldn't speak?
Forget about being unable to figure it out. He didn't want to stay down there any longer. After things were settled, he took his people away. Unexpectedly, things went quite smoothly. He was really nervous for a while before coming down!
After this group of people left, Niu Dazhuang was busy arranging matters for the rescued people below. Li Ke asked him to pick out some people to take to the upper level and liberate the laborers below at the same time.
Let them assign the work on the ship themselves, and Niu Dazhuang just needs to select some suitable directors.
Li Ke's words were vague, but there was a lot to do when it came down to it. Yan Bo would bring people over later, and Niu Dazhuang immediately got to work after hearing the order.
Li Ke had originally been thinking about exploring the way further on the ninth floor, but now that the people upstairs had handed her a ladder, she no longer had to work.
When Yan Bo came over, it was already dark. He came over quietly in a submarine.
Li Ke looked at Yan Bo's cautious movements and asked, "Have you really taken down all the ships on the other side?"
Yan Bo smiled at Li Ke, who had half his face covered. "It's not that we have won him over. To be honest, it's a cooperation. The boss on the ship wants to have the best of both worlds, and we don't want to make it too troublesome, so we agreed for the time being."
Li Ke thought for a moment and asked, "What did you come up with? How could they agree to it so quickly? Could it be that you were dragged into this as a premeditated action?"
Yan Bo quickly shook his head: "That's definitely not the case. No matter how powerful we are, we can't completely control the flood. We just showed him some of our things and promised that we can give them what they want after the success."
As for whether it will be given in the end, it depends on whether the people in this place are still there.
Niu Dazhuang asked anxiously, "How many of our people do you have over there? How many of my brothers are there?"
Yan Bo: "I have 129 teammates who came with me, eight of whom are your brothers. As for the others, I am not sure if they are on other boats or have drifted to other places."
Niu Dazhuang observed Yan Bo's expression and asked, "If you have anything else to say, say it all now."
Yan Bo: "Two of your brothers were attacked by a school of fish and were seriously injured. Although they have been arranged for treatment, their situation is still not good."
Niu Dazhuang's face darkened, but he just nodded slightly. Yan Bo explained, "I came here quietly. The people over there don't know about our connection, so I didn't bring your brothers here."
Niu Dazhuang: "It's okay if you don't bring them here. Just let them recover from their injuries."
It is dangerous to be outside. These brothers were trained later. Although Niu Dazhuang also values them, they are not as good as the brothers who went through life and death together at the beginning.
After these words, Yan Bo really started to get to the point. He said seriously, "Comrade Li Jia, our commander of this operation, Xia Ji, wants to talk to you. Is it convenient for you now?"
Li Ke called everyone over, so he naturally wouldn't refuse: "How do we talk? By radio or are they coming too?"
This is at sea, and underwater communications are restricted, and the sea is also affected to a certain extent. But listening to Yan Bo's serious questioning, it seems as if they can really meet and talk.
Yan Bo asked Li Ke and others to take him to the communication room. Of course, everyone entered the communication room together. After clearing out the irrelevant people, there were only four people left, Li Ke, Niu Dazhuang, Yan Bo and his teammates.
Yan Bo went to the communication desk and operated it for a while. Li Ke and Niu Dazhuang watched his movements from behind. In front of him was a set of normal signals waiting for operation. Then he took out a black ball from his pocket and connected it to one of the sockets on the console.
He pulled it casually, and the black ball turned into a long, pointed black rod. Li Ke found it a little novel because there was no such thing in her space.
"What is this?" Li Ke asked.
Yan Bo: "It is used to assist in communication. Although it is small, it is very useful. It is our confidential technology."
Niu Dazhuang reached out to touch it, but Yan Bo slapped him back: "Don't touch it, it will be fine soon, don't bother me."
Niu Dazhuang was not angry, he just laughed and said: "This thing looks small and convenient, and it is also confidential technology. Can you let us learn it? It will prevent us from falling behind the times."
Yan Bo rolled his eyes at Niu Dazhuang and said, "You are so shameless. I gave you two. It's confidential. How can it be leaked? Besides, only the special operations team has this thing. It's numbered and recorded. If you lose one, you will be severely punished."
