Chapter 141: Silly Ostrich

After the people of the Mengshan caravan entered Yangshan City, they were arranged by Ye Dahai to rest in a small forest near Baibu Street.

The caravan men took their tents and cooking utensils, and as soon as they entered the grove, they began to set up their tents and cook.

For a while, the sound of talking and laughing, the sound of pots and bowls colliding, and the chirping of ostriches made the previously quiet grove quickly become noisy.

In a short time, more than a dozen tents appeared in the grass of the grove, and with the appearance of the tents, the smell of rice wafted in the wind, attracting many onlookers to swallow their saliva.

The leader of the Mengshan caravan was called Hao Qiang.

Before coming to Yangshan New Town, he also had some doubts in his heart. A new city, with less than 10,000 survivors in the city, how can it stop the tide of nearly 100,000 bones and corpses. He always felt that Zion's briefing was a bit exaggerated. In his judgment, the level of the corpse tide should be between three and fifty thousand.

However, the allure of the magic stone was too great, and he eventually led the caravan to check it out. He brought with him a lot of seeds and weapons, which were used to return the magic stones. Of course, in addition to these, there are 10 ostriches that can be exchanged.

After eating at noon, Hao Qiang took two of his subordinates to the inner city command post to discuss the exchange with Ye Dahai.

Recently, there have been many people who have asked Ye Dahai to exchange magic stones, but Ye Dahai has not let go, because Ye Dahai can't look down on the things that these caravans have come up with.

The magic stone is equally important to Ye Dahai. He has more than twenty new Demon Warriors under his command, and these Demon Warriors also need magic stones. Therefore, Ye Dahai would not easily take out the magic stone in exchange.

Inner City, inside Ye Dahai's office.

"What do you have to exchange?"

Ye Dahai's fingers lightly tapped on the desk, looking at Hao Qiang opposite, and said lightly.

Hao Qiang has curly hair, a big beard, and very shabby clothes, looking less like a trader and more like a beggar. However, Ye Dahai did not judge people by their appearance. Being able to rush from Mengshan to Yangshan City alive is not something that ordinary people can do.

"We've got guns and seeds!"

Hao Qiang took a sip of hot water, very crisply.

When he saw Ye Dahai for the first time, Hao Qiang was very surprised. He originally thought that Ye Dahai would be a demon warrior, but what he didn't expect was that the one who led less than 10,000 survivors to resist 100,000 bone corpses turned out to be an ordinary soldier.

Hao Qiang didn't know that when Liu Chenggong informed Zion of the good news through a satellite phone, Lin Hao specially asked Liu Chenggong not to mention his name.

The gun shot the first bird, what is the god of war in Dayang Mountain, Lin Hao can't afford it, he is not stupid, why should he hate himself for a false name. Therefore, the outside world only knows that Liu Chenggong and Ye Dahai led this defensive battle. And Liu Chenggong is not a soldier, so people speculate that it should be Ye Dahai who plays the main role this time, and Ye Dahai must also be a demon warrior.

"We're sorry, but you don't have what we need."

Ye Dahai spread his hands with an apologetic face. He paused, then continued, "But, as a thank you for coming, we'll give you some food and water free of charge when you leave!" ”

"Hehe, don't worry about Captain Ye, we have better things to exchange with you here!"

Hao Qiang said with a smile.

"What else do you have, tell me about it!"

Ye Dahai sat up straight, a little curious, not knowing what else Hao Qiang could come up with.

"Captain Ye should have heard of it, we are riding a mutant ostrich this time!"

"Hmmm! I've heard that your mounts are very peculiar! ”

"I don't know, Captain Ye is not interested in our mount!"

"Mutant ostrich!"

When Ye Dahai heard Hao Qiang say this, his eyes lit up and he immediately became interested, and motioned for Hao Qiang to continue.

Hao Qiang was very happy to see that Ye Dahai was interested, so he explained to Ye Dahai the many benefits of mutant ostriches.

The mutant ostrich has a well-known nickname in the Mengshan War Regiment: "Silly Ostrich!" ”

The town where the Mengshan War Regiment is located is an ostrich breeding base. Before the end of the world, there were more than 300 ostriches there. After the outbreak of the end times, one-third of these ostriches have undergone mutations, and each one has grown bigger than a horse.

A normal ostrich, when running, can span 8m in one step and reach a speed of up to 70 miles per hour. But the keeper found that the mutated ostrich could reach as fast as 110 miles, which was almost as fast as the leopard. In addition to running quickly, the mutant ostrich can reach a height of six meters in a single jump under the action of its wings, which is simply the best mount in the last days.

In addition, the keepers have found that the offspring of ostriches grow rapidly after mutation. A mutant female can lay more than forty eggs at a time. Under normal circumstances, it takes nearly a year for these eggs to hatch to adulthood, but after the mutation, it only takes two or three months. Before Hao Qiang set off, there were already more than 2,000 ostriches that were about to mature in the Mengshan breeding base where they were located. It not only solves the food crisis of the base, but also provides transportation for the team of the base.

Of course, Hao Qiang will not tell Ye Dahai these inside stories. But the many advantages of ostriches, Hao Qiang still talked to Ye Dahai about them.

Ye Dahai restrained his excitement and calmly listened to Hao Qiang's spittle about the benefits of "stupid ostrich".

Yes, mutant ostriches are indeed a good thing. If Yangshan New Town can raise a large number of mutant ostriches, it will greatly alleviate the problem of food shortage.

However, Ye Dahai is not stupid, he can't show his eagerness, which is not conducive to bargaining.

The two chatted for a while, and soon came to the key question, how many magic stones a mutated ostrich can be exchanged for.

According to the weight, after a ostrich is feathered, it weighs 800 catties, and if there is a magic stone per catty, it is 800 magic stones. If it is a male ostrich, it will be doubled to 1600 magic stones.

Ye Dahai calculated, he had a total of 4,000 magic stones in his hands. These magic stones can't be spent all in one go, and some emergencies need to be left. So he had 3,000 magic stones at his disposal. According to the price offered by Hao Qiang, Ye Dahai can buy two ostriches at most, one male and one female. Spending so many magic stones to buy two "silly ostriches", Ye Dahai felt that it was too expensive. Therefore, Ye Dahai and Hao Qiang, the straight men of steel who have never cut the price, cut the price for half an hour.

In the end, Hao Qiang sold a male ostrich and two female ostriches to Ye Dahai at a price of 3,000 magic stones on the basis of giving buyers a preferential price for the first time in business.

Hao Qiang is not worried that Ye Dahai will rob his business in the future with these three "stupid ostriches". Because after breeding, he found that the newly hatched mutant ostriches will still maintain their nature, and they must be domesticated by animal trainers before they will obey the command of humans, otherwise, they will not only not listen to humans, but will also attack humans.

Therefore, in the absence of an animal trainer, Ye Dahai could only kill and eat meat when the ostrich was not aggressive for about a month. In this way, the three "silly ostriches" in Ye Dahai's hands will not reproduce their own population.

Hao Qiang didn't stay in Ye Dahai's office for long, and after the two reached a deal, they immediately exchanged them.

Ye Dahai used the warehouse where Jia Tao was located before as an ostrich breeding base. Touching the mutant ostrich's black feathers, Ye Dahai's heart was excited. He couldn't help but sigh, three thousand magic stones, he had to offer these three "stupid ostriches" like ancestors. Whether the survivors of Yangcheng can eat enough or not will fall on this "stupid ostrich".

Hao Qiang's caravan only stayed in Yangshan City for one day. The next morning, they would set off.

At about 8 p.m., it was completely dark. At this time, Lin Hao came to the caravan's camp.

"I advise you not to go to the Black Dragon Gorge, there is a beast tide there, and you can't get through it at all!"

In front of an army-green tent, Hao Qiang sat cross-legged on the grass, chewing jerky while saying to the young man in front of him, and this young man was Lin Hao.

The horse lantern hanging on the tree emitted a dim light, and some mosquitoes and flies circled and flew in front of the lampshade, making the sound of colliding with the lampshade from time to time.

"I still want to try, my relatives are there."

Some dim light sprinkled on Lin Hao's resolute face, making his facial features appear more three-dimensional against the background of the shadows.

"You're a demon warrior?"

Hao Qiang took a sip of wine, looked up at Lin Hao again, and asked with squinted eyes.

Lin Hao nodded when he heard this.

"Which demon system are you?"

"Fire!"

Hearing Lin Hao's answer, Hao Qiang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:

"Little brother, as far as I know, there are no living people in the Heilongxia Scenic Area, and there are many monsters there."

"In this way, it is better for you to join our Mengshan Clan. We ate and drank there, and some of them were pretty girls. As long as you follow us a few times, the magic stones you earn will be enough for you to buy a beautiful daughter-in-law. If you do a good job and perform well, it will not be a problem to buy three or four. Look, what's going on! ”

The people Hao Qiang brought this time had 10 demon warriors, but there were not many demon warriors with long-range attack demon systems in them. Knowing that Lin Hao was a fire department, he wanted to recruit Lin Hao.

"I still want to go to Black Dragon Gorge, if the situation there is really like that, I will consider joining you!"

Looking at Hao Qiang's expectant eyes, Lin Hao thought for a while. He didn't want to reject Hao Qiang completely. Once because of his refusal, the other party is angry and does not take him to play, it will be troublesome. So Lin Hao could only be vague and didn't say anything to death.

"Alright! You can follow us, but you need to pay some money! ”

Hao Qiang was a little unhappy when he saw that Lin Hao didn't agree. However, considering that it is not a bad thing to have one more fire-type demon warrior to help along the way, I am a little tempted.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Hao touched his chin and said with a slight smile. He was mentally prepared for this situation.

"50 magic stones, take care of the food on the road!"

Hao Qiang smiled and stared at Lin Hao's eyes, gesturing.

He thought about it, since Lin Hao was a fire-type demon warrior, it was impossible for him not to have magic stones on his body, but it wouldn't be too many. So he said a relatively large number and waited for Lin Hao to make a counteroffer.
