Chapter 6 Returning to the town
Two days later, at 7:30 in the evening, the entrance to the infected area of Qingshan Life Town outside Living Area No. 4 was reached.
A young man, dressed in rags like a beggar, slowly walked out of the ruins of the infected area.
The young man's eyes were sunken, his complexion was pale, and his cheeks were deeply sunken. He looked like a refugee who had been hungry for several days.
This young man was Ling Tian. He was unconscious under the car all night. At noon the next day, the zombie whose legs were broken by his shot crawled to him and gnawed his feet through his boots, and then he woke up.
.
Soon, Ling Tian walked to the wooden barrier at the pass and stood in front of it.
"Hey! Which family are you from? Why are you the only one? Where is the leader?"
On the sandbag next to the pass, a skinny young man with a colorfully dyed spiky head, holding a replica AK without a butt in his arms, pointed at Ling Tian and asked.
The hedgehog-headed young man looked very individual. He only wore a black cotton vest in the cold weather, and his exposed arms were covered with ferocious tattoos. He looked up and down at Ling Tian with a sly look.
kindness.
"I am an individual. This time I am following the Eastern United team. However, two days ago, we encountered a wave of zombies and the team was scattered." Ling Tian replied with a normal expression.
"Oh, that's what happened, then why are you okay?!"
The hedgehog head nodded when he heard this. Something happened in County No. 0209 two days ago. There was a lot of commotion. The garrison of Changji City in the fourth district was dispatched. However, looking at the miserable appearance of the young man in front of him, the hedgehog head still endured it.
I kept asking.
"Everyone ran away. The eldest brother who led the team had a guy in his hands, and there were so many people that the corpses followed them. I found a hut and squatted for the night, and ran for two days before I came out."
"Fuck, then your life is pretty good!" The hedgehog sighed, then threw a handmade cigarette to Ling Tian and said, "Okay, come in!"
After saying that, the hedgehog jumped off the sandbag and carried AK on his back to lift the spiked fence out of a gap wide enough for one person.
Ling Tian took the cigarette, looked at Hedgehog's nervous look, closed his mouth and stuffed the cigarette into his pocket.
Seeing that Ling Tian did not smoke, the hedgehog was not annoyed. After letting Ling Tian enter the town, he said with a smile: "Brother, I have been picking up things in there for so many days. Do you want to ship them out? This pass is also covered by Donglian. Ship out the goods.
Give it to me and I’ll give you a good price.”
What the hedgehog was talking about was slang, and the purpose of shipping was to let Ling Tian sell him the living supplies he had been searching for in the infected area during this period.
Most people who make a living in infected areas will, for the sake of convenience, process the collected materials at the checkpoints to the organizations responsible for the checkpoints. They will not conduct value assessments like those regular chambers of commerce and shops in the city.
Why are you doing three things and not taking three things?
Therefore, although the price of selling to Jianghu organizations will be lower, it is convenient and fast. The person receiving the goods can bid at a glance, pay the money in one hand, and deliver the goods in the same hand, and basically receive everything.
In this way, those old fritters can run to casinos, massage rooms, and opium dens as quickly as possible to squander all the money they have earned with their lives, and then form a team again to enter the infected area.
The cycle repeats until it eventually leads to death.
"Okay." Ling Tian touched his backpack and nodded.
"Hahaha, good friends are so happy! Come on, come into the house and say." The hedgehog glanced at the companion next to him, indicating that he should continue to guard the gate.
Then his eyes were fixed on Ling Tian's backpack, with unconcealable greed and desire in his eyes.
The two quickly entered a watchtower on the inside of the pass. Ling Tian took off his backpack and placed the items inside on the table.
There were several cans of different sizes with vague packaging, a few packages of biscuits, two small batteries that had not been opened, and some odds and ends of daily necessities.
Then, under the surprised gaze of the hedgehog, the tin jar filled with coins was placed on the table.
"Good boy! What you gained this time is really big!" The hedgehog looked at the items on the table and his eyes widened.
"It's okay, give me a price." Ling Tian took the empty backpack in his hand and said softly.
"Well..." The hedgehog held his chin with one hand, pretending to be deep in thought for a while, and then pretended to be heartbroken and gave a price: "Just...three hundred Asian dollars, about the same price."
Already."
As soon as he heard this, Ling Tian immediately stood up and started loading things into his backpack. At this price, the hedgehog was just trying to fool him. Not to mention other food and daily necessities, just the jar of coins, at least
It's worth almost 300 Asian dollars. It's really disgusting to bargain for this hedgehog head.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't leave, buddy, let's discuss, discuss, discuss! If you are not satisfied, just make a counter-offer." Seeing that Ling Tian was about to leave, the hedgehog-head immediately stopped him.
"Three hundred won't do it. Just tell me the number. Say, five hundred will do."
Looking at the hedgehog whose price had been raised by two hundred in an instant, Ling Tian immediately confirmed in his heart that this was a rookie who didn't know how to pretend to understand.
Only idiots who are new to the industry would make such a stupid mistake that significantly overturns their previous quotations.
Looking at the eager eyes of the hedgehog head, Ling Tian paused, stopped his movements, and said tentatively: "I am not short of Ya Yuan, do you have any stones?"
"Stone?" the hedgehog frowned and repeated, and then said: "Wait a minute, I'll look for it!"
Then he ran into the back room and started rummaging.
After a while, the hedgehog ran out again, holding a small wooden box in his hand.
After the small wooden box was opened, a hazy purple light instantly enveloped the room. In the small wooden box, a purple crystal the size of a thumbnail lay quietly inside.
"Here! This is the only stone. If you want it, I can't give you any more money." The hedgehog said with a little pain while holding the small wooden box.
Looking at the gleaming purple crystals in the box, Ling Tian's heart beat hard, then he paused deliberately, pondered for a while and then said: "Okay then."
After saying that, he reached out and took away the crystal in the box.
"It's all for you!" Hedgehog Tou closed the small wooden box and threw it to Ling Tian casually.
For him, this kind of purple crystal is just a relatively valuable mineral resource. It is not of much value to ordinary people. Large pieces are fine. But for a piece the size of a fingernail, the overall value is
Around 500 Asian dollars.
And the most important thing is that among ordinary people, this purple ore is not very liquid.
