Chapter 128: The feeling of suddenly becoming an upstart
The material trading center of the Haizhou base is very large, in addition to these off-site markets, it is mainly divided into four areas, namely the vehicle trading area, the weapons trading area, the bulk grain and oil trading area, and the crystal nucleus trading area.
Entering the trading center from the outside, Su Ziyan obviously felt that the flow of people inside was much less than that outside, but because of the narrow corridor, she didn't feel that the passage had become much looser.
The first place they came to was the Vehicle Trading Zone, where they traded all kinds of cars, from ordinary family cars to police special vehicles, and a large number of cars were abandoned on the streets after the end of the world, and if they could be transported back, they could be sold as commodities here.
"It's still quite lively here......" Su Ziling curiously watched the two sides of the transaction bargain there, of course, it is impossible to trade in kind in the trading area, and after the two sides reach an intention here, they have to go to the periphery of the base to conduct on-the-spot transactions.
But Rao is like this, this scene is indeed lively enough, buyers and sellers are constantly arguing, spitting stars splashing in the air, and there is no fan and air conditioner, everyone is sweating.
Su Ziyan nodded lightly, glanced at it with a pair of eyes, and estimated that there should be hundreds of buyers and sellers here, as far as the transaction of vehicles is concerned, it is already lively enough.
Several people did not stop here, and soon passed through several sheds and came to an area dedicated to the arms trade.
The weapons trading area was set up in the original student cafeteria, and all kinds of weapons and equipment were displayed, which made Su Ziyan and others who had just entered here dizzying. The scope of transactions involved in the arms trading area covers all kinds of controlled knives, stun guns, and even pistols, rifles, micro-punches, etc., and engages in a certain amount of ammunition trading.
Among them, controlled knives and various improvised weapons that have been modified in the later period are the main trade here, after all, there are still very few people in this society who can really get guns, and it is not easy for the vast majority of people to get strong crossbows and broadswords. Therefore, the trade in firearms is relatively expensive, and only some combat teams can afford to use it.
There are guns, of course, a lot of ammunition is needed, which is very expensive, Su Ziyan and others came this time, in fact, they also had the idea of purchasing some ammunition. All the way to the base, the ammunition in stock was almost exhausted, and if they didn't replenish some, they saw that the spears really turned into burning sticks.
But when they look at the prices marked on each stall, they can't help but be staggered.
Although the prices marked by each stall owner are different according to the different types of bullets and trading volumes, they are basically very expensive, and a bullet is on top of half a catty of grain, and a shuttle bullet can shoot out an adult's rations for several days.
"Boy, these bullets are really expensive!" Jiang Yan looked surprised and said to a dark-skinned stall owner: "Boss, are all your bullets here so expensive?" ”
The boss glanced at Su Ziyan and the others, and when he saw that they were too expensive, he pouted and said, "Can this be said to be expensive, this is a life-saving thing at a critical time!" Do you say life or money is important? Besides, didn't we risk our lives to get these munitions from the city? You have to pay for the risk, right? ”
Jiang Yan was speechless, feeling that what the stall owner said was reasonable.
Su Ziyan's eyes fell on the ammunition placed on the table, there were three magazines in total, it seemed that this stall owner was also a small business.
In fact, the largest seller of weapons in the area is the official of the base, but the price of the weapons provided by the official is slightly higher than that of the people, but the advantage is that a large amount of supply can be provided, so if the large combat team is troublesome, it can directly trade with the official, and the official also arms those combat teams under their control through this way to achieve a win-win situation.
But then again, the end times are not as good as before, and they don't want to squander money so plainly, so it's not really rich, and everyone is more willing to try their luck in the trading area.
Nodding slightly, a few people went to other stalls again, and the dark-skinned stall owner didn't care, anyway, bullets have always been a hot commodity, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to sell them at a good price. So like an old monk, he sat and waited for the guests to come to the door.
After walking around the weapons trading area for a while, Su Ziyan and they saw a different kind of stall in a corner, this is a bearded stall owner, specializing in selling grenades and all kinds of small mines, the shop is not big, but the shelves are full.
"Boss, how do you sell this grenade?" Su Ziyan pointed to a ball-shaped grenade on the shelf.
"Forty-five dollars a piece, no counteroffer."
Secretly saying that it was really expensive, Su Ziyan asked, "Can you let me touch it?" She wanted to weigh it.
"Give!" The stall owner handed the grenade to Su Ziyan without saying a word, which made Su Ziyan very surprised.
"Huh, it's empty?" Su Ziyan took a closer look and found that the fuse of the grenade had actually been removed.
"Of course, I didn't remove the fuse, I dare to play with you casually?" Seeing Su Ziyan weighing it with a grenade, the stall owner smiled.
It's just that this smile made Su Ziyan a little unhappy, as if she was looked down upon. frowned slightly, she didn't care, and secretly calculated in her heart that with her current strength, it shouldn't be too difficult to throw this grenade out of more than 200 meters, and even if the grenade was a little more solid, maybe it could be thrown out of 300 meters.
This can come in handy when her ability fails, but the only regret is the price.
"Boss, you don't have a dud here, do you?" Su Ziyan handed the grenade back, and asked with a smile on her delicate face.
"What are you talking about, how long has my old king been in this business, and he will sell inferior goods to you?" The stall owner's face immediately changed, and he looked like he couldn't stand the grievances.
Su Ziyan smiled: "It seems that the end of the world has only happened for more than a month now, you have been doing this business before?" ”
The stall owner was a little dumbfounded, and said stupidly: "I said you girl, why do you ask so many questions, do you buy grenades or not?" ”
"I have to shop around for groceries, so I'll go to other places first...... Come back later. Su Ziyan said calmly, giving Su Ziling a wink, and then a few people walked to other places.
Next, I visited the bulk grain and oil trading area, saying that it was a bulk, but in fact, it was only a few sacks and a few oil barrels, which was far from reaching the real sense of "bulk", but looking at the Haizhou base, it was indeed enough to be called a bulk.
The food is very tempting, the oil is very necessary, but the price is also a little expensive, and the last few people came to the crystal nucleus trading area to see if they could exchange it for some currency here.
As soon as I entered the crystal nucleus trading area, I immediately found that there were fewer people here, probably only a few dozen people, and more than half of them were stall owners.
"You see there's a counter there, let's go check it out." Everyone looked in the direction of Su Ziyan's finger, and sure enough, they found that there was an open counter not far from the entrance of the trading area.
When I got closer, I found that there was a glass cabinet on the counter, in which various styles of crystal nuclei were placed in turn, and the prices corresponding to the crystal nuclei of various specifications were marked.
Small as a grain of rice, as large as a broad bean, the quality of gray and white mixed, there are also clear like water jade, of course, the more advanced is no longer the physical display, but replaced by photos.
"Wow, look, these crystal nuclei are worth a lot of money!" Su Ziling suddenly pointed to the crystal nucleus in the cupboard, covered his mouth and whispered.
When Su Ziyan saw it, she was also secretly surprised. Among them, the worst quality is the gray-white crystal nucleus the size of a sesame seed, but the price has also reached one dollar.
As for the crystal nucleus that is the size of a soybean and is in slightly better condition, like mica but opaque, the price is 10 yuan, and the translucent crystal nucleus is from 50 yuan to 150 yuan. Even the crystal nuclei that have reached a certain level that are not exhibited in real objects are priced at thousands of yuan or even higher.
It's like a pre-apocalyptic jewel! Su Ziyan was secretly surprised in her heart.
She understands that after the average white zombie is killed, the crystal nucleus in the body will shrink to the size of a sesame seed, and this kind of crystal nucleus is basically not very useful, and can only allow the evolutionary to recover a certain amount of physical strength. The crystal nucleus in the gray corpse, according to different individual conditions, will appear in many different phases of crystal nuclei.
When she was in the Houshan Forest Farm, Su Ziyan collected a large number of crystal nuclei the size of sesame seeds, and there were also 80 crystal nuclei of grade (translucent), of which 10 reached the level of clarification, and even one reached the level of complete clarification. When she was imprisoned by Hu Hongwei, she consumed five crystal nuclei with a clear degree in a row, and now she still has seventy crystal nuclei of average or slightly worse quality left, four clear crystal nuclei of good quality, and one crystal nucleus that has reached a complete degree of clarity.
If converted according to the "market price", even if it does not include those crystal nuclei the size of sesame seeds, she is equivalent to having a wealth of "more than 10,000 yuan".
This is a big income in the Haizhou base, her eyes suddenly became hot, it turns out that killing zombies can make so much money! What's more, for her ability, it doesn't seem to take too much effort.
