Chapter 33
87_87180Now the end of the world has just begun, and the hard currency has not yet reached the point where the rotten streets are worthless, so it is said that in the past, when there was a war, the big families had to carry some gold with them when they fled for their lives.
Even the bigwigs of the current Shoujing base are not exempt from vulgarity, and even have the idea of hoarding a batch of gold while the chaos has risen.
The common people don't have so many ideas, and many people endure the pain in their flesh and replace their gold and silver jewelry with food and drink in order to fill their stomachs.
Lin An sat in the car, looking through the window, and thought to himself: These people are distressed now, but they will be happy in the future. At least now a gold necklace can be exchanged for two packs of biscuits, and in another half a year, a gold brick may not be able to exchange for a few rice.
"Shall I take a look?" Huo Cheng closed the car window and turned his head to Lin An.
Lin An squinted his eyes, feeling that the wind was blowing for a while, his body was much brighter, and he had the heart to go down to breathe, so he said, "I'll just go." "They are not short of supplies, and it is good to inquire about some useful news while there are more people.
When Huo Cheng heard this, he asked, "Do you have the strength in your body?" ”
Lin An smiled: "It's a little bit better, just go down to breathe." ”
Huo Cheng said: "Come back if you feel uncomfortable." ”
Lin An smiled: "Okay, I'll just wander around for a while." ”’
Lin An opened the door and got out of the car with his bag on his back, completely ignoring the greedy gaze around him. In fact, it was not only them, many cars that looked good and had a large area were being secretly watched, muttering about how many things were in the car.
In troubled times, there are always people who want to take advantage of the chaos and do something that bullies the weak and fears the hard.
The temporary exchange point occupies the basketball court of the outdoor stadium, and the back door of the large goods is open, and there are tables and chairs in front of the door, and the personnel in charge of registration are seated. There were a few soldiers with guns standing around, straight and straight, and their momentum was like a blade, so that those who were blushing at the mountains of goods in the van did not dare to move in the slightest.
Lin An was not too late, and he took a high position, and there were six or seven people in front of him.
"Well, buddy, may I ask you something?" Lin An wandered over, and the queue was not good, so he deliberately stood in front of the soldier standing guard beside him, took out a pack of cigarettes from his backpack, dismantled it and handed it over.
The soldier looked at the cigarette in Lin An's hand, looked at each other with his companion standing guard beside him, reached out to take the cigarette with an unchanged face, quickly put it in his pocket, and said, "Ask." ”
Lin An saw that the two of them were looking straight and waiting, so he smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous, buddy, we understand the rules, don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked, just ask a little thing," he said, he took out a cigarette and handed it to another soldier, and the other party took it before saying, "Just ask, does our military vehicle pass by Feng Village?" ”
"Why do you ask this?"
Although it's not a big deal, speaking out can be regarded as leaking the army's itinerary.
Seeing the hesitant expressions of the two, Lin An waved his hand and sighed: "Hey, it's actually nothing, we have relatives in the countryside, thinking that if we pass by, it's better to take a look." ”
The two soldiers glanced at each other, and the younger of them softened their expressions, and understood: "Forget it, it's not a secret, there are not many people like you who can still worry about this relative at this time, buddy, and we will sue you for your affection." ”
"Let's get to the bottom of it, let's go to Shoujing this time and don't take the national highway, it has long been blocked, and this kind of big car in the team can't go."
As he spoke, he pointed to the large-tonnage truck in front of him: "See, this big guy is full of supplies, and the food and drink of our Shoujing base are all in it." The above attaches great importance to it, for fear that something will happen on the road, so it deliberately set a safe road, and go out from the suburbs of Jinshi, and take the trail directly, where there are few cars. ”
Another soldier also said: "It's really hard to say whether you pass through Feng Village or not, but the road next to Feng Village must be taken, if you are really worried, just touch it when you camp at night, and you can rush back before the big team leaves the next morning, and we can't tell you more." ”
"Alas, understand and understand, buddies all have tasks, so it's not good to reveal more." Lin An smiled again and again, simply stuffed all the packs of cigarettes in his hand into the hands of one of them, and said with a smile: "It's enough to know so much, thank you." ”
What, it's all trifle! ”
These two GIs have been in the army for about a long time, and they are both old oilers with flexible brains. One of them took the cigarette in Lin An's hand and looked left and right to see if anyone was paying attention, so he quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and said a little embarrassed: "A few words didn't help you much." ”
Lin An smiled again and again: "Where, with your words, we also have a bottom in our hearts, which is a great help!"
The two soldiers still felt that they had taken advantage of Lin An, after all, that pack of cigarettes was not a bargain, and now this kind of thing is even more valuable, and this kind of material in the team is enjoyed by the upper peak, where can I get them.
The two of them were really embarrassed to accept a whole package after thinking about a few words of innocuous news, so they said: "Where is your car, when the time comes, our brothers will arrange and give you the entire close position at the back of the team." ”
The location close to the army is good, there are people in front of the road, it is safe, close to the army, and those with bad intentions do not dare to do it casually. After all, this is not a peaceful era, and the soldiers have no place to redress their grievances if they die.
"That's a good feeling, thank you!" As soon as Lin An heard this, he immediately thanked him happily, but he didn't take it very seriously.
"Next." I wanted to say something more, but I heard someone shout in front of me: "Hurry up next." ”
"Alas, here it is." Lin An answered, said hello to the two, and walked a few steps forward to stand in front of the registration table.
"Change what?" The registration staff had a good attitude, seeing that Lin An was carrying a small backpack, thinking that he was going to exchange gold, silver and jewelry for things, so he patiently said: "Gold and silver can be exchanged for grain by grams, diamonds by pieces, and jade should be judged by color." ”
"We really don't have this thing, poor people." Lin An smiled, and took out a large bucket of Snickers from his backpack - the kind of large packaging sold in supermarkets, "Can this be changed?" ”
The registrar was obviously more interested in this bucket of Snickers, and his attitude immediately improved: "Yo, this is a good thing, how can the advertisement say that it sweeps hunger, it seems to be like this, the calories are high, it is suitable for us to eat on the road, say, what do you want to change?" ”
Lin An thought for a while: "Change the folding furnace, and ask for half a tank of fuel." ”
The folding furnace in Lin An's mouth, also known as the German-style portable stove, is the most common thing for outdoor marching, which can be regarded as a military quartermaster, but it can also be bought in some field equipment stores. The whole furnace is made of galvanized sheet, which has high strength, and can bear the weight of seven or eight catties, and it is only the size of a palm when folded.
As for the fuel he said, it is a solid alcohol block, the size of a palm, and some restaurants like to order one under the pot when making spicy fragrant pots, half a box of five packs of sixty yuan, which can be used for a while.
The registrar obviously didn't expect Lin An to ask for this, and after listening to his words, his eyes showed two points of interest: "What, my brother used to play outdoors, or did he know our team?" Ordinary people really can't think of this thing, wait, find someone to bring it to you, this thing is in another car. ”
The folding furnace and the alcohol block are military supplies, the consumption is not large, and there are a lot of storage in the supply truck.
"Hey, how do I know, there are people around me who understand this." Lin An laughed and shook his head.
He really doesn't understand this, a poor boy who graduated from junior high school and worked in a restaurant, and he has also seen the liquid gas stove in the back kitchen, where does he have spare money to play with this kind of thing outdoors.
It was Huo Cheng who deliberately mentioned it when he got out of the car, and the price was also opened for Lin An, seeing that the registrar meant that the price was just right.
A large bucket of Snickers for a stove and half a tank of fuel, no more, no less, now the grain is the most valuable, and the rest of the supplies have to be put behind.
Lin An now became more and more suspicious of whether Huo Cheng had been in the army and knew everything.
But if Huo Cheng is a soldier, Lin An still says the same - it's not quite like it, Huo Cheng doesn't have any righteous and awe-inspiring meaning, it doesn't look like he's law-abiding, but it doesn't look like he's black.
The doubts in my heart only flashed for a moment, and I didn't explore too much. What did the housekeeper do before, but now it's okay.
"Next." After the handover was complete, the registrar began to shout again.
Behind Lin An was a young girl, I saw her take out a beautiful sapphire necklace from her pocket, hand it over, and said with a somewhat anxious expression: "Can you change the medicine, my boyfriend has a high fever, aspirin, ibuprofen are fine." ”
Lin Anxin shook his head secretly, and didn't meddle in telling the girl, the antipyretic medicine doesn't work, it depends on whether your boyfriend can stand it or not. It's not just this girl's boyfriend, from the morning to now, there are more than two or three people around who have a fever.
Lin An knew in his heart that the day when the T virus really broke out was not far away, maybe tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, they left with the army, not without risk, but risk is always accompanied by opportunity.
Now he has awakened his ability for the second time, breaking through the peak of the second level in one fell swoop, and has become a third-level ability. In addition to the increase in mental power, the space area carried around is also getting larger and larger.
The extra space also needs to be filled.
Filling the space has become an obsessive habit for Lin An, and people who are not satisfied with the space can't feel at ease, as if they will die of thirst and starvation at some point
Holding half a box of things, Lin An said hello to each other when he passed by the two soldiers who were chatting just now, told them their own license plate numbers, and took advantage of the cover of the cardboard box to stuff a few chocolates and two packets of beef jerky into each other's hands. He really has the heart to move a place for his car, and he always has to give some blood to get things done.
The other party really smiled and accepted it, patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, buddy, I'm sure to get you a good position, we'll be in the fourth company, and if someone is looking for trouble with you, I'll find our brothers." The soldier pointed to his companions: "My name is Guo Shuai, my little brother Tong Wenbo, if you can't find the Fourth Company, just ask the team casually, and let them take you." ”
"Alas, buddy remembered, thank you." Lin An responded with a smile, greeted them with his things and left.
"This guy is really good." The younger Tong Wenbo looked at Lin An's back and said.
Guo Shuai looked left and right and no one was paying attention, broke a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, and laughed at him by the way: "If you give it to eat, you can say that people are good?" ”
"What" Tong Wenbo smashed the bar twice with chocolate, a dimple appeared on his dark face, and muttered: "I just think this person is very happy, and he looks smart." ”
"Tsk, you see who isn't smarter than you." Guo Shuai said: "Okay, this person is quite interesting, and he is also refreshing, say hello later, and arrange a place close to the team for them." "It's really a matter of words to them, and it's worth it in exchange for these foods.
"Hmm." Tong Wenbo took the chocolate in his mouth and nodded in response
