Chapter 1235 The Price of Killing
Shi Lei didn't have time to explain too much to Wei Bodhi. Xu Zhida's attitude was not clear at the moment. At least Shi Lei had the seventh sense and couldn't sense any thoughts of returning to the right path in his mind. Xu Zhida could come back at any time. If he found out that Shi Lei used his satellite phone to contact the outside world, he was afraid that something might change.
So Shi Lei simply told Wei Bodhi that the island was purchased by the Indian consortium and that Xu Zhida was the person in charge of the island. Wei Bodhi didn't ask any more questions, but quickly gave Shi Lei a quote.
"To flatten the island means to destroy all man-made buildings on the island regardless of casualties, right?" Wei Bodhi asked.
Shi Lei nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
"Considering the possibility of causing human deaths, and the number of them is large, but everything on this island is not allowed to be seen in public, and it is inherently dangerous. The quote for this mission is 30 million RMB."
Shi Lei was stunned when he heard it.
He was actually a little worried that the price offered by the Dark Night Eye would be too high for him to bear. After all, he had thought about asking the Dark Night Eye to help him kill someone, but the price was as high as 500 million yuan. Moreover, Wei Bodhi told him that the price of one person's life was 500 million yuan, two people's life was 1 billion yuan, but three people's life was 2 billion yuan, and four people's life was 4 billion yuan.
The Dark Night Eye adopted the method of 2 to the power of n-1 to fake the accident scene to kill people. The more people there were, the higher the amount required was.
Therefore, Shi Lei went to Wei Bodhi just to see what the price could be this time. He knew very well that he might not have the ability to ask the Dark Night Eye to help.
This was also the reason why he tampered with the data. It was not just to cause the experiment to fail, but to have a more serious consequence.
But this time, the price was as low as 30 million RMB.
Wei Bodhi made it clear that the price of the SSS-level member's mission was 1% of Shi Lei's previous price.
Although Shi Lei was an A-level member before, in fact, the various permissions he possessed in the Dark Night Eyes membership system were beyond the A-level, and the difference from the S-level was negligible. The ferryman once told Shi Lei that his actual level, in the Dark Night Eyes internal assessment, was A+.
Later, Shi Lei also learned that as an A+ member, as long as the cumulative amount of completed tasks reached a certain amount, he would soon be promoted to an S-level member. Therefore, when he became an SSS-level member, his price was not reduced by a thousand times, but by one percent, which means that when Shi Lei proposed to obtain the SSS-level membership, his membership level was already infinitely close to the S-level.
But even so, Wei Bodhi's offer to Shi Lei this time was really a bit too low.
There are probably no less than a hundred people on this island. If more extreme means are taken to flatten the human buildings on the island, it can be said that it will be a complete disaster.
The death of a hundred people, the cost of this task is unimaginable to Shi Lei.
Thirty million, which means that with Shi Lei's original level, it would take three billion for Dark Night Eye to complete this task.
But even with three billion, it is only enough for Shi Lei to let Dark Night Eye help him kill less than three people. According to the power method mentioned by Wei Bodhi before, the price of three deaths is 3.5 billion.
Of course, Shi Lei's request that time was an "accidental" death, which means that there would be absolutely no beginning, end or trace left. He just killed a person by force without caring about the aftermath. This offer should be much lower.
But no matter how low it is, it will not violate the general principle of Dark Night Eye. They do not encourage their members to use extreme means such as killing at every turn, so they always take the power method.
One hundred people, calculated by 2 to the power of n-1, even if the starting price is only one dollar, it will still be an astronomical figure in the end, not just 3 billion.
This shows that the Dark Night Eyes also have the same direction for the task issued by Shi Lei this time, that is, the things on the island and the people on the island that Wei Bodhi mentioned cannot be seen in the light. Even if they all die, as long as the way of flattening the island does not attract international attention, I am afraid that the deaths of these people can only be explained as disappearances, and no one will expose them.
And this condition caused a huge change in the price.
"Only 30 million?" Shi Lei murmured.
Wei Bodhi said dissatisfiedly: "Why? Do you think the offer is too low? I can offer you 30 billion, as long as you are willing to pay."
Shi Lei laughed and said: "Okay, 30 million, I definitely can't handle this money now, but I think, with your great magical powers, it shouldn't be difficult to transfer this 30 million directly from my account? Then leave it to you to deal with it."
Wei Bodhi agreed, and Shi Lei said: "You can flatten this island only after you make sure I have left the island and are within a safe distance."
"Don't worry about this, we are not stupid enough to kill even our own members and the publisher of the task."
Shi Lei hung up the phone, put the satellite phone back in the cabinet, and hung the painting back. Everything was restored to its original state. He sat back on the chair, drank wine and waited for Xu Zhida to come back.
After a while, Xu Zhida pushed the door open, and still turned around and carefully locked the door, with a gloomy face. It seems that he has received an answer he didn't want to get.
"What?" Shi Lei shook the wine glass in his hand.
Xu Zhida said breathlessly: "It seems that what you said is right. Those researchers said that no matter what they do, they can only reduce the degree of pollution, but it is impossible to make the pollution disappear."
"Now you finally understand, this means that no matter how successful your experiment is, once it is put into production, it means that everyone who uses your technology will carry a nuclear pollution source with them. There may be many safeguards, but the number of people who die from accidents in this world every year is at least tens of millions, plus this nuclear pollution source, one accident means a large number of people, think about the consequences yourself."
This data is extremely shocking, Xu Zhida certainly understands it.
For this reason, he also specially asked those people, of course, the answer was asked with a gun against their heads.
Xu Zhida asked: "If an accident occurs and a small reactor leaks, how large an area of nuclear pollution will it cause?"
The other party's answer was measured by the current volume of car batteries. Once a small reactor leaks, its pollution radius will reach three to five kilometers.
This is a radius. Even if it is three kilometers, it means that the area of pollution will reach nearly 30 square kilometers. Moreover, there is no doubt that people who use these batteries can appear in densely populated urban areas. The palladium poisoning caused by this will be an extremely terrifying value.
"But what can I do now? Do you want me to return to China?" Xu Zhida murmured, as if he was very confused about his future.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "After so many things, if you let me say that I still regard you as my brother and my best friend, then I must be lying to you. But at least, my infatuated brother and I have never thought about settling accounts with you later. You just couldn't figure it out for a while, and then you were used by others. We will still be friends, but we can't be as close as before."
Xu Zhida's eyes lit up slightly, he looked at Shi Lei and said seriously: "Really?"
Shi Lei nodded.
