Chapter 3: Bad News and Hope

Chen Tao only felt messy at the moment, and after confirming the fact that it was the jade pendant that sent him here, he began to regret why he was greedy to pick up the jade pendant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Traveling to the end of the Han Dynasty with such an improper painting style, he really has no sense of security at all. If he is given a chance to choose again, he would rather give up the opportunity to cross, give up the so-called plug-in system, and just want to be able to return to his hometown, even if he works overtime every day!

Perhaps, this is the most normal manifestation of normal people, right? After all, few people have that strong heart......

Chen Tao finally sat sullenly in the shack and waited until the next day. It was only at noon that he came back to his senses at the sound of warning with a rumbling stomach.

Then, he recognized the reality clearly: whether he can go back or not, he has to say twice, but his stomach must be full!

He crossed here, unlike others who were electrocuted and crashed, there was no trace at all, and there was no way to guarantee that he could wear it back if he died. It's really miserable to live now, but no matter how humble your life is, it's worth cherishing.

Where did Chen Ning go? Chen Tao couldn't help but wonder, yesterday it was about noon Chen Ning said that he wanted to take up the post, and he didn't think anything at the time, but even if it was overtime, was it too long?

I tried to stand up, only to find that after sitting for a day, my blood was not running smoothly, and I almost didn't fall into a coma. With my current state, if I am in a coma, I am afraid that I may never be able to get up.

With a sigh of relief, he really stood up, but before he went out, someone came to the door first.

There were two soldiers, dressed in thickened cloth armor, apparently sewn from three layers of linen. The weapon is just a wooden spear, and this kind of outfit gives the impression that it is simply a 'militia'.

They seemed to recognize Chen Tao, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange. In the end, the leader came to him and said solemnly: "Last night, a winged demon attacked An Xi, and it happened to be the defense area where the captain was located. Captain Wu has already died in the line of duty in order to cover us and others......"

He said that for a long time. And Chen Tao, who listened to this passage, was also stunned for a long time.

Looking at Chen Tao's stunned appearance, the soldier led by him pursed his lips and continued: "Commander Wu died in the line of duty, and according to military regulations, he can be divided into ten catties of corn and ten spars. There are not many things, but it is the heart of Lord Liu. Our brother has gathered some of them, and you can put away these twenty spars, one or two salts, and ten wheat cakes, and you will be stronger in the future. ”

After saying that, he ordered the men to put down all the weapons and left.

As for this shack, it was earned by Chen Ning, and coupled with Lord Liu's benevolence, he would never drive Chen Tao out. However, if Chen Tao doesn't grow up, he will have to sell the shack in the future and replace it with one or two wheat cakes to satisfy his hunger.

Someone died? Chen Ning, who seemed so kind and loyal yesterday, disappeared overnight?!

For the first time, Chen Tao felt that human life was worthless in this era. A human life can only be exchanged for ten catties of corn, and what kind of spar is there, not counting the spars, it will only be less than a hundred yuan in the future life, is human life too cheap?

This is still a death in the line of duty, and if it is those refugees who are more peripheral, they are afraid that their families will not get anything if they die.

"This cannibalistic world ......" Chen Tao gritted his teeth and took all these materials into his arms.

Without him, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the refugees outside the shack. At this moment, their eyes are full of killing intent, and they actually have killing intent towards themselves for the sake of such a little material!

Yes, looking at their skinny appearance, it is obvious that everyone's life is not good.

"Who's going to answer my questions, and I'll give him a piece of wheat cake, how about that?" Seeing that they had bad intentions, Chen Tao's eyes rolled around, and he raised a piece of wheat cake and shouted.

"I'm coming!" Suddenly, the people outside responded immediately.

"You, it's you who answer my question......" Chen Tao chose one who didn't seem to have much spirit, if something went wrong, he should be able to beat him.

Fortunately, nothing special happened in the whole process, even if those refugees had the intention of robbing, they were afraid of the soldiers of the territory, in fact, they were the militia who were constantly patrolling, so they did not dare to make a mistake.

These are also some things that Chen Tao only learned after inquiry, and he also knew some things he wanted to know.

For example, hedron is a kind of currency, and the effect is to speed up the growth of crops in the field, and it will not cause excessive consumption of nutrients in the land. The base has been able to survive until now, thanks to the grain grown with the help of these spars.

The hedron didn't fall from the sky, it was created from the brains of zombies and monsters. Someone took it, and it didn't take long for it to turn into a zombie, and if it wasn't found to be helpful to plants, everyone would just dismiss it.

Spar is something that can be used as currency in the base area, and two hedron can be exchanged for a pound of corn. Chen Tao had thirty pieces in his hand, in other words, he could exchange them for fifteen catties of corn, or a quarter of the meat of a wild boar. Buy weapons, buy medicines, you can trade with hedrons.

The last and most critical issue is the ruler of An Xi. Chen Tao was pleasantly surprised by the refugee's answer, just because he knew the ruler here, and of course the other party didn't know him.

This ruler, Lord Liu, is none other than Liu Bei, who was appointed as the county governor of Anxi County. After the catastrophe, the old county order became a zombie, and the world was in chaos, so Liu Bei took over the position of the county order. Now he and his two brothers-in-law, that is, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are sitting in this Anxi base, which has kept the peace of this side.

Liu Bei was benevolent and treated the people very well, and everyone supported him. In later generations, many people hacked him, but I have to admit that he did a really good job in surface kung fu, at least there will be no obvious bullying here, it is rare to have clear rewards and punishments, and he will not be greedy for the military exploits and pensions of meritorious people, which is the key to really making him recognized by soldiers.

As for Chen Ning's body, it has already been thrown away and incinerated, otherwise it will become a zombie and scourge others. The armor on his body was confiscated, after all, now that there is a shortage of armor and weapons, if you can save it, you will save it, and the new commander will not dislike it.

I paid the wheat cake to the refugee, but I didn't expect to get a reward: "Thank you!" I don't know why, Chen Tao was a little sad when he heard this sentence......

The other refugees were a little red-eyed, and when they saw that Chen Tao did not continue to ask for people, they scattered in all directions. Now it is only the second year after the catastrophe, strictly speaking, it is the first year after the fall of the Han Dynasty, and at this moment the ethics and morality have not been exhausted, and people still know how to control themselves.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Chen Tao began to pick up the wheat cake and nibble on it. Hunger had tormented him for a long time, but he didn't dare to eat more, just ate a piece of wheat cake, a few bitter salts and a few sips of water.

Reason comes into play, and now it is no longer possible to rely on God, you can only save yourself.

It's a traverser anyway, and it shouldn't be a problem to invent something in this era, or to become an accountant for Liu Bei. As for the art of war, that is not what he is good at. In any case, as long as you go smoothly, you may not be able to have a full meal.

In these years, there are not many scholars who are proficient in arithmetic, and they still have a very competitive advantage.

It's just that he is not in a hurry to find Liu Bei, he has already found out just now that Liu Bei is taking a batch of supplies to the Hanchang base to trade. There is an iron mine in Hanchang, there are also blacksmiths, and there is a small horse farm.

The two places are only fifty miles apart, but the road conditions are not good, and he is afraid that he will not be able to come back for a day or two, leaving him with plenty of time. There was Zhang Fei left behind in the base, but thinking of the temper of the legendary Zhang Sanye, it was better not to provoke him.

Taking advantage of the abundant time, Chen Tao put his hand on the birthmark in the shape of a jade pendant.

I don't want to have anything to do with this thing that makes him suffer like this, but he knows in his heart that the key to going against the sky is it.

The moment he touched the mark, his brain immediately emptied, and for a moment he felt like he was in a huge supermarket. There are plenty of supplies, from the most basic grains to meat, seafood and fruits, vegetables and snacks. There were even other goods, such as iron tools and even weapons, and all kinds of medicines were readily available.

That's not satisfying, that's okay!

There are even various martial arts cheats on the bookshelf called "Basic Tuna Method" and "Nanshan Sword Method"! There are so many commodities that Chen Tao only feels that his two eyes are not enough!

It's a pity that when he pounced on the goods, he found that he couldn't pick up anything.

The prompt sound of the system also came: "The host balance is insufficient and cannot be exchanged!" ”

After speaking, a dialog box appeared in front of Chen Tao, only to see the words 'balance: 0' and 'recharge' written on it. It was also when he saw this dialog box that Chen Tao found that the bottom of those goods were all priced cards.

The monetary unit of commodities is divided into two kinds, one is gold, and the price of ten catties of grain is one tael of gold; The other is a spade, which is the kind of spar in Chen Tao's hand, and a spar is exchanged for ten catties of grain.

Here in the Anxi base, a spar can only be exchanged for one catty of grain, but here in the supermarket, it can be exchanged for ten catties. Ten times the profit, Chen Tao suddenly saw a bright future.

"The system is not there? How do I top up? Chen Tao immediately shouted.

"The host only needs to recharge silently, and the system will automatically rush into the corresponding amount of spar or gold according to the host's thoughts. In addition, this system does not accept red gold, and the maximum amount of recharge at the same time is subject to the spar and gold owned by the host. The system replied.

The spar was very unfamiliar to Chen Tao, at least there had never been such a thing in the real world, and he was also eager to never have it in the future. At this moment, before he knew that the hedron was more useful, he decided to exchange all the hedrons.

So as soon as his mind turned, thirty spars rushed to the account, and the words '30 crystals' appeared after the balance.

It's just that when he was going to buy something, he couldn't help but hesitate.

How can he explain the source of the sudden appearance of a large number of good things? Besides, it's easy to attract others to covet it, so it's better to be careful until you have the strength to protect them!
