Chen Xin waved his hand and didn't let Xu Licheng continue, to be honest, he didn't care if there was in his shoes in the situation.

"You just said you live in a shipping container?"

"yes, the four of us live in one. After Jiayi and I fled to the beach, there was nothing, and we were going to find a house to hide from, but Sister Xiaomei and Brother Ning Sheng found out about us, so they took us to the port area and lived together. ”

As if thinking of something, Xu Licheng added, "Jiayi and Sister Xiaomei live in the container, and Brother Ning Sheng and I live at the door, and there is a curtain cloth in the middle!" ”

"Jiayi Jiayi, you call it so affectionately, your girlfriend? You brought this sanitary napkin for Jiayi, right? ”

Xu Licheng's face flushed again, and he said, "Well, it's... No... Jiayi is not my girlfriend, she is my college classmate. This sanitary napkin was brought to her. ”

"You are also NB, chased by so many zombies, and you still have the heart to find sanitary napkins."

"By the way, Brother Chen, did you come out of the island to patrol with arms?" Xu Li became a cover-up of embarrassment, and directly changed the topic, pointing to the rifle that Chen Xin was carrying and said.

Chen Xin's face moved, and he immediately understood that he probably thought that he was from Jiangxin Island, after all, after so long, there were only people in large settlements who still had thermal weapons and ammunition.

To Chen Xin's surprise, it seems that Jiangxin Island has gradually and spontaneously formed a social system, and even armed patrols have begun to appear, so there must have been organized violent groups.

"I'm not from Jiangxin Island" Chen Xin thought about it, there was nothing to mislead and use, maybe he wanted them to lead the way, "I also want to go to Jiangxin Island to exchange for some food." ”

"Ahh I thought Brother Chen was the commander of which battalion! Tsk, this equipment, it is estimated that the team leader is not worthy. Is there no food in your settlement? ”

Chen Xin looked at himself, his tactical equipment was quite neat, and he didn't have any hunger and weight loss that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and there was still a little fat on his arms, so he really didn't fit the image of the mainstream masses now, but when he thought of the assault rifle in his hand, he was still full of confidence in his heart, that is, some situations were unclear, and there was no problem, with a gun in hand, everything was correct.

"Where are you going to meet? I have some original ammunition, can you give me some if you can find food later? Chen Xin groaned slightly, thinking that after all, his identity was problematic, and his current body was just a normal person, if he could not go to the big settlement, he would not go, so as not to have any extraneous branches before getting the "Evolution Potion", so he took out the prepared half box of rifle bullets and asked.

Xu Licheng looked at Chen Xin a little entangled and said, "Brother Chen, I'll tell you the truth, except for Brother Ning Sheng, we are not qualified to go to the island, and Jiayi and I don't even have a security right in the port settlement, so it may be a little difficult to guarantee Brother Chen that you enter the settlement to trade." However, Brother Chen, you can be regarded as helping me, and it is no problem to exchange the things assigned to me this time for you at the market price, but Brother Ning Sheng's share... It may not be possible to change it. ”

It seemed that he had made a lot of determination, Xu Licheng gritted his teeth and added, "Brother Chen, I used to save a lot of food, all of which were stored in Brother Ning Sheng, I went to get it and exchange it with you!" ”

Seeing that Xu Licheng's appearance did not seem to be fake, Chen Xin knew that food was probably really difficult to find now, and exchanging supplies in the settlement was not the same as going to the supermarket to shop in the old days, and it seemed that his mentality was still not adjusted in place.

"It depends on the situation, don't suffer a loss" Chen Xin didn't want to do a business, maybe he could cooperate in the future, and said with a smile, "When the time comes, you will calculate more prices according to the market price." ”

"Hmm" Xu Licheng is not hypocritical, after all, looking at the other party's living situation is far better than his own, "I made an appointment with Sister Xiaomei and them, if the zombies did not return to the nest, they would come out in half an hour and gather on the opposite embankment; If the zombies return to the nest, I will go to lead it again at twenty-five minutes, and it will also be by the river. ”

When Chen Xin heard that he might have to lead it again, he suddenly had a black line on his face, but he was not familiar with them, so it was inconvenient to say anything, "Then wait, in another 10 minutes, we will go to the river and wait first." ”

"Okay, listen to Brother Chen!"

-------

Riverside road, in the grass.

"Brother Chen, they're here. Shall we go down the embankment? Xu Licheng pointed to a man and two women dragging a sack on the opposite side, and whispered to Chen Xin, who was squatting in the grass together.

Chen Xin looked at it intently, but didn't get up, "You go down by yourself, don't tell them that you've seen me later." If you're still going to trade with me, we'll meet in the culvert you squatted in an hour. ”

Chen Xin saw the other three people, looked at them twice and felt that there was a problem, he had heard Xu Licheng say that he was running fast, and he thought that this "Brother Ning Sheng" had an injured leg or some congenital deficiency.

But now it seems that this "Brother Ning Sheng" not only has no legs, can run and jump, but also can quickly jump over the guardrail when he is carrying a machete in his right hand and dragging a half-sack of things in his left hand.

On the one hand, Chen Xin couldn't figure out the attitude of those three people towards Xu Licheng, nor the attitude he might have towards himself. On the other hand, Chen Xin still had the idea that he didn't want to make extraneous branches, and before he got the "evolution potion", he would try to contact as little as possible with people.

When the three of them ran away, Chen Xin slowly went down the embankment, there was no shelter on the embankment, and the only thing that could hide from people was in the culvert.

Standing in front of the agreed culvert, Chen Xin thought about it, but still didn't get into it, and walked a few meters to the side and got into a culvert on the side.

After about half an hour, Chen Xin was almost a little impatient, feeling that this transaction was in vain, and he was about to go to other places to find food.

Xu Licheng's voice came from next door, "Brother Chen? Brother Chen? ”

The sound diffused through the culvert, and it was a little echoing, but Chen Xin didn't respond immediately, he actually took out a makeup mirror from his pocket and slowly moved to the entrance of the cave, and the mirror reflected the agreed culvert door.

Chen Xin squatted on the ground, holding a gun in his hand, his eyes glued to the mirror.

After about 10 minutes, Xu Licheng didn't shout anymore, he was probably afraid that shouting too much would attract the zombies passing by.

In the mirror, Chen Xin saw that Xu Licheng had already walked out of the cave and was about to go back.

"Am I being too cautious?" Chen Xin was about to go out, when he suddenly glanced in the mirror, and a person jumped out in front of Xu Licheng, it was that Brother Ning Sheng.

Brother Ning Sheng jumped off the embankment from the riverside road, still carrying the machete in his hand, but the shriveled sack was gone, standing in front of Xu Licheng and said, "Xiao Xu, who is that Brother Chen in your mouth?" I watched you take all the food that was deposited with me this time, did you give it to him? Don't be deceived! There are a lot of scammers these days. ”

Xu Licheng watched Brother Ning Sheng carrying the knife and slowly walked towards him, speechless.

He was being followed, and he also knew that there was a problem.

"Xiao Xu, if you give it to someone else, you might as well give it to me, you and your little girlfriend live with me and eat me, these should be regarded as my reward." Brother Ning Sheng's face began to become frivolous, and he still walked towards Xu Licheng.

Xu Licheng carried a bag of things and slowly retreated, "Brother Ning Sheng, I still have this bag of food, I will give it to you next time I find something, what do you think?" ”

"Next time?" Brother Ning Sheng didn't stop, "Hehe, where is there a next time, the big shopping malls around have already been touched, and there is no need for you to attract zombies anymore." I was still thinking about when to break up your little girlfriend, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to leave alone. Do you want what you have in your hands, or do you want your life? ”

"Brother Ning Sheng, what do you mean, I have always listened to your requests to work, and I will deposit my share with you. The canned food I asked for this time is the share I saved before, and you said that it can be taken at any time!! ”

"Xiao Xu, are you stupid, this kind of thing, just listen to it. If it weren't for that good looking girlfriend of yours, you thought you two would be able to live in Minato?! Besides, I don't need to charge for you to keep the cans? ”

Hearing Brother Ning Sheng's mouth mention Jiayi, Xu Licheng, who had always had no temper, stared at Brother Ning Sheng fiercely and clenched his fists.

Brother Ning Sheng looked at Xu Licheng's hand clenched into a fist, laughed, and saw a bag of food in Xu Licheng's left hand and a stick in his right hand, and said with a disdainful face, "That's it, you give me the things in your hand." I'll take care of Xiao Jiayi for you in the future, how about it? ”

"Get out!" Xu Licheng burst into a foul mouth, raised his right hand, and thought of hitting forward.

"Toast, don't eat, eat and drink." Brother Ning Sheng was obviously very sophisticated, and he avoided the stick in Xu Licheng's hand after retreating in a few big steps, "Lao Tzu won't kill you today, Lao Tzu will have your surname." Kill you little cub and go back at night and have a good time with your little girlfriend. ”

Xu Lixiang had never fought with anyone, and continued to swing a few times with all his might, all of which were swept into the air, but he didn't even touch Brother Ning Sheng.

Brother Ning Sheng kept scolding in his mouth, but his feet never stopped, his eyes kept staring at Xu Licheng's steps, seeing that Xu Licheng's center of gravity was unstable, his right foot kicked towards Xu Licheng's heel, and Xu Licheng fell to the ground with an "oops".

Hu Ningsheng didn't stop, he immediately raised the knife and slashed towards Xu Licheng.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out behind Xu Licheng.

Brother Ning Sheng was startled, he trembled, the machete in his hand almost fell off, and he hurriedly fled backwards.

"Don't move! If I move again, I'll shoot. Xu Licheng heard someone behind him, and it was Chen Xin who spoke.

Brother Ning Sheng stopped in an instant, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned around, and saw Chen Xin holding an assault rifle against him behind Xu Licheng.

"Brother Chen!"

"Licheng, you stand by my side." Chen Xin didn't dare to let Xu Licheng stand behind him, after all, he wasn't familiar with it, so he let Xu Licheng stand on the side.

Brother Ning Sheng began to look at Chen Xin at this time, and when he saw Chen Xin's tactical equipment, the assault rifle in his hand was also Xin, and he muttered in his heart.

"Brother, there is something to say, something to say." Brother Ning Sheng said in his mouth, but the person slowly walked towards Chen Xin and Xu Licheng in small steps.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.

"Don't move! Is it because you don't understand or because your ears are not good? ”

Brother Ning Sheng felt the rubble at his feet that was smashed by bullets and splashed, and his scalp was a little numb, but he really didn't dare to take another half step forward.

"There's something to say. This brother and the Licheng brother know each other? ”

"Who are you to become a brother!" Xu Licheng listened to Brother Ning Sheng's words on the side, and couldn't help but reply. "Hu Ningsheng, listen well, in the future, I will break off with you, and I will remember the first time I saved me, but if you think about Jiayi, I will also remember it!"

Hu Ningsheng didn't seem to care about what Xu Licheng said, just stared at Chen Xin, "Brother, there is something to discuss, do you want canned food?" I still have quite a few in the settlement. Brother Chen, if you want it, I'll go back and get it. ”

The corners of Chen Xin's mouth raised slightly, this Hu Ningsheng was telling him that there was still use value, don't shoot him down, but he couldn't pull his face, maybe he also had the intention of testing himself, obviously it was not the first time he had encountered this situation.

"Licheng, what's going on?" Chen Xin ignored Hu Ningsheng and turned his head sideways to ask.

"Brother Chen, that's right, because living in the port is guaranteed by the person in the port, and Jiayi and I are guaranteed by him at the port, and we also live in containers under his name. So in addition to food, many of the materials I found before, because I thanked him for guaranteeing us, I deposited them here with Hu Ningsheng, and he said that they could be operated and put in the savings bank on Jiangxin Island, and the island would pay interest. This time, because I received a lot of canned food, I thought about taking out all my previous shares and exchanging supplies with you. As a result..."

"As a result, he gave it to you in front of other people, but I didn't expect to actually want to snatch it back outside, maybe he wanted to kill you, right?" Chen Xin said with a sneer.

In fact, he had long seen that this Hu Ningsheng was not good, and after the supermarket came out, Chen Xin found that this Hu Ningsheng's legs and feet were still good, but since Xu Licheng had been "attracting monsters", it could be seen that this person was not very anxious about justice and righteousness in the first place, so it was very strange to take Xu Licheng and Jiayi in.

Then when he crossed the street, the weapons and food were all held by Hu Ningsheng himself, and he rushed to the front, ignoring Jiayi and Sister Xiaomei in the back, and his heart was evident.

But now in this world, because of the outbreak of the virus and the attack of zombies, Chen Xin felt that he could die one less, so he still didn't shoot directly. "You want to hack Xu Licheng to death, right?"

"He was the one who took the stick and tried to hit me. You won't fail to see it on the side, will you?! ”

"You put P!" Xu Licheng jumped up hurriedly and said.

But Chen Xin thought about it for a while, and it was really the same thing, "The main thing is that your mouth is too stinky and threatens to other people's girlfriends." ”

"I'll just talk about it casually, and besides, Jiayi never said that she was his girlfriend!" Although Hu Ningsheng didn't dare to move, he still rolled his eyes and said.

Chen Xin chuckled, and remembered that Xu Licheng seemed to have told him such a thing, but then it seemed that he ignored it, and suddenly became a little annoyed, "I told you not to wear a hat!" ”

"Bang!" Another bullet landed on the ground in front of Hu Ningsheng.

Hu Ningsheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Chen Xin meant, but he probably understood that he owed a lot of money.

Xu Licheng used to engage in procedures, but he has seen a lot of this kind of joke, I haven't heard this kind of joke for a long time, and I suddenly feel very funny, but it seems that Hu Ningsheng is talking about him and Jiayi, holding back there, laughing is not, not laughing.

"Is there a lot of canned food on the island? It can also be calculated as interest. "Food is precious in troubled times, and although Jiangxin Island is a residential area, it is still a bit incredible for Chen Xin to have so many cans circulating outside.

"It is said that there are several big boats on Jiangxin Island, and they often go out to sea to catch some big guys, and pull them back to make canned food. So there's a lot of canned food in the settlement. ”

When Chen Xin heard Xu Licheng's answer, he solved the doubts in his heart, but Chen Xin also knew that weapons were more precious than food in troubled times, and he had a surplus of his own weapons, and they had a surplus of canned food, so it would be better to exchange ammunition for cans, but he still had to figure out the exchange rate of the magazine for cans first, so he asked Hu Ningsheng, "How many cans can a magazine be exchanged for bullets in the old era?"

"A standard magazine is exchanged for 5 cans, and the handmade magazine is generally changed for 2 depending on the craftsmanship."

Chen Xin didn't ask Xu Licheng directly, on the one hand, he also kept a hand, and didn't fully believe the programmer who had only known him for a short time, on the other hand, he also confirmed the price at both ends, he looked back at Xu Licheng, and when he nodded, he knew that the price would not be too outrageous.

Chen Xin thought for a while, the institute can't be lost, but it is impossible to take Xu Licheng back, when it comes to the "evolution potion", even if it is a brother of life and death, he has to think about it more, let alone the passerby he just met.

But this Xu Licheng looks quite pleasing to the eye, and his personality flaws are relatively big, so he looks a lot easier to deal with than Hu Ningsheng. It's just that if you break up with them like this, it is estimated that as soon as you go back, Xu Licheng will be "eaten" by this Hu Ningsheng to death, and maybe he will be thrown into the wilderness on the way back.

Chen Xin thought about how to arrange these two people, and said in a deep voice, "Licheng, we have a lot of ammunition in our base, as well as a production base. Chen Xin has already begun to fool them, and he doesn't care whether they believe it or not.

"You're very good, you're a good man, and you have brought so many cans! I don't want you to suffer, 1 for 5 for 1 for 3, so that you can also make money. I see you have a dozen cans here today, and I only brought 6 magazines today, but I only exchanged 5 magazines with you, and I have the remaining one to use on the way back to the base. 5 magazines for 15 cans, if you don't have enough cans in your hand, send me my next time, and change it here in 7 days, how about it? Back in the settlement, you'll earn 10 cans! Next time we can trade at this price again, but! Only with you! ”

The last sentence Chen Xin said was obviously for Hu Ningsheng. After going back. Hu Ningsheng will definitely have the upper hand, and Chen Xin can only designate Xu Licheng to do this definitely "profitable" transaction, hoping that this will give Xu Licheng a little more bargaining chips for confrontation.

If in such a situation, Xu Licheng was still eaten to death, and even lost his life, then Chen Xin had no choice, I can't say that if there is still a shortage of food at that time, even if Hu Ning was born to trade, Chen Xin can only pinch his nose and admit it.

With the food in his hands, Chen Xin began to itch again, not wanting to talk to them by the river at all, just thinking that he could go back to guard his "evolution potion" as soon as possible.

For Chen Xin, exploring unknown biological knowledge in the laboratory is far more comfortable than blowing the river breeze here and dealing with people.
