Chapter 37: New Currencies
What Tan Jingwen said is exactly what I was thinking, it seems that we have to find a few brave refugees and go out with us first.
Just thinking about it, Wu Jun and Long Jiu came back.
"Big brother, it's all arranged." Wu Jun said.
"Is there anyone else who can use it now?" I asked.
"There are three more, and the other ten people have arranged to be sentry, and I wonder if you have any other arrangements, so I will keep three people." Wu Jun said.
"You ask these three people to pick a car and go out to find the nearest supply point, preferably with food." I said to Wu Jun.
"Now? It's going to get dark soon! Wu Jun said.
"Yes, now, without further ado, it will change later, I have two pairs of night vision devices in my car, you let them bring them, don't turn on the headlights when driving at night, remember, let them rush back before dawn." I said to Wu Jun.
With that, I handed the car key to Wu Jun and asked Long Jiu and Tan Jingwen to wait for me, and I walked towards the third girl's room.
"We haven't figured out the situation in this city yet, so don't walk around yet, because you're so beautiful, I'm afraid of getting into trouble." I said to the third girl.
"Are you going to take your brothers to do something?" Ruonan said.
"It's really not, my three wives can't cope anymore, we are going to take in some refugees from the city, and then find a place of your own, you must not go out and cause trouble for me." I said seriously.
"That's what you're supposed to be." Xiaoyu said.
"Husband, don't worry, we won't make trouble for you." Winnie said.
"You two teach her Chinese well, there are ten brothers left here, Lu Yang should come back soon, I will take Long Jiu, Wu Jun and Tan Jingwen to the city to find out the situation." I turned around and left.
Behind him came Winnie's voice: "Did I say something wrong?" ”
"I can't say that I can go with confidence, it's unlucky." Xiaoyu explained.
The three girls were chattering in the house, and I took Long Jiu and Tan Jingwen, who were still waiting in my room, downstairs directly.
Wu Jun was standing in front of a car explaining something, and the three brothers in the car were preparing to go out, and everyone saw me coming and hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards me.
Without waiting for them to speak, I directly stepped forward and hugged them one by one, took a step back and said: "It will be a little dangerous for me to let you go out this big night, but I don't want to take my brothers to send people to the fence all the time, I want to give my brothers a home that really belongs to them, you don't have to be too reluctant to go out this time, you really can't find a suitable place to come back, and we will discuss it in the long run." ”
"Big brother, we will definitely complete the task." The three of them said in unison.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety, zombies are not as active as during the day at night, but they are particularly sensitive to lights, don't turn on your headlights when driving, and wear night vision devices." I said.
After a few more words, I saw them leave, I took Wu Jun, Long Jiu and Tan Jingwen towards the city, the places that entered the city were basically refugee camps, and the lights were bright and green, but we hadn't been to an area behind us, so we decided to go there first.
It didn't take long to arrive, and it was already completely dark at this time, but I saw that all the shops in front of me were lit up at the same time, and there were even a few street lamps on the road, it seems that there are indeed many things worth learning from in this city.
There are a variety of shops on both sides of the road to buy everything, and there are a lot of people in the city at this time, and the street is very lively, I casually entered a shop to buy weapons, pointed to a dagger and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this?" ”
"The boss has a good eye, this is the standard configuration of the foreign army, and I want you to be two or two meters." The shopkeeper said.
In fact, we just came to find out the price, two or two meters can be said to be very cheap, but I didn't make a deal right away, but pointed to a pistol and asked, "What about this?" ”
"I'll tell you the truth, some zombies outside are very sensitive to sound, and now no one uses a gun, so you might as well buy this if you buy a gun." The boss said as he pulled out a crossbow from under the counter.
"Oh, and how do you sell this crossbow?" I asked.
"It's a good thing, a pound of rice." The shopkeeper said.
"I still like the gun I just had." I said.
"If you buy this crossbow, I'll give you the gun, and I'll give you ten more bullets." The shopkeeper said.
"How many more of these crossbows do you have?" I asked.
"There are ten more, if you want them all, I'll give you a discount, count you eight catties of rice." The shopkeeper said.
"Does that give you a gun per crossbow?" I asked.
"Haha, boss, you really know how to bargain and make a deal." The shopkeeper said.
"How many crossbow arrows do you send?" I then asked.
"What do you think of fifty arrows for each crossbow?" The shopkeeper said.
"I'll add you two pounds of rice, and give me a hundred arrows for each crossbow." I said.
"Deal." The shopkeeper said without thinking about it.
I felt as if I was buying expensive, but at this point, I had to take out the walkie-talkie and say, "Come five people, bring 20 catties of rice, go out and turn right, and go forward 500 meters." ”
"Roger." A brother's voice came over the intercom.
"Hurry up and prepare, don't stand stupid." I said to the shopkeeper.
"Eh, eh, you choose the gun slowly, I'll prepare the crossbow and arrows for you, wife, come out to help, come to the big customer." The shopkeeper shouted into the back room after speaking.
The husband and wife were busy packing us, and I took the three brothers to start choosing guns, and I handed over the pistol I had when Wang Qiang drove me away, and our other weapons were not suitable to bring out.
There are all pistols in this store, and there are no rifles and submachine guns or anything like that, in fact, there is nothing to choose from these pistols, all of them are 6454 and 92, but 64 is small in size, but it is quite suitable for my three wives, I took three directly.
Although I had ninety-two in front of me, I still loved May Fourth, so I took one and pinned it to my waist.
"Big brother, I want it too?" Tan Jingwen said.
"Nonsense, at least you can protect yourself, take it." As I spoke, I grabbed a handful of ninety-two and stuffed it into Tan Jingwen's arms.
"Boss, bullets." I said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, okay, I'll get it ready for you right away." The shopkeeper quickly got up.
Long Jiu and Wu Jun also stuffed a ninety-two for them, and I took three ninety-twos, just left for Guo Shan, Dingwei and Lu Yang, we chose the guns, and the five brothers also arrived.
The shopkeeper's crossbow and arrows were almost packed, so I stuffed three ninety-two to a brother, took two bags of rice, threw one bag in the store, and walked forward with the rice.
"Big brother, I won't use this gun." Long Jiu said.
"Let Wu Jun teach you." I said.
"I didn't expect rice to become currency now." Tan Jingwen said with a wry smile.
"You have to protect me, it's not rice on my shoulders now, but a big bag of money." I said to the three of them.
The three of them smiled and walked forward, it seems that these shops are private, and there must be some ways to open a store here, and the next stores are not much to see, they are all some clothing or something, and there are also some daily necessities and electrical appliances, but we don't need these things.
There are even people who sell gold and silver jewelry, thinking about how much rice these jewelry can be exchanged for before the end of the world, but now rice can be exchanged for a bunch of gold and silver jewelry, I just think it's a little funny, we don't even bother to enter such a store.
But there is no food on this street, it seems that the food is controlled by this city, I thought they would give birth to food stamps or something, who would have thought that the currency was actually rice.
After walking a short distance, I saw that there was a vacant shop at the intersection, the area was still very large, and there were two aunts wearing red sleeves sitting in it, and the door of the store said rental, presumably these two aunts were also staff in the city.
"Sister, how can I rent this store?" I stepped forward and asked.
"Ten pounds of rice, a month." An aunt said.
"So expensive? Can it be cheaper? I asked.
"This shop is the largest in the city, if you sincerely want it, count you eight catties of rice." Aunt said.
"So what can you sell?" I then asked.
"You can sell anything, we don't care if you want to sell people." Aunt said.
"Can I sell grain?" I asked.
"Haha, lad, you're new here, aren't you? There are only people who sell things for food, I haven't seen anyone sell food for food, of course you can, as long as you have it. Aunt said.
It seems that I thought that I was wrong, I thought that the food was controlled, it turned out to be a shortage, since everything can be bought and sold, it seems that there is a way out for the recruitment of personnel.
"Then I'll rent it, I'm ten catties of rice, and you gave me a scale." As I spoke, I put the rice on my shoulder on the ground.
The aunt directly lifted the rice and put it on the scale on the side, and after confirming the weight, she picked up a small bag, poured out two catties, and then just like when we rented a house, she issued a bill for me and stamped it.
"What's your name?" Aunt asked.
"Yang Wei, great Wei." I said.
My aunt filled in my name on the slip, handed it to me, and gave me two keys.
"It's the key to the door of the store, you can open it at any time, and at night we have three hours of electricity here." After the aunt finished speaking, she turned around and left, not even the scales on the ground.
"Big brother, this is all our rice, and you just spent it?" Long Jiu said.
"Don't worry, I will earn it back, how can I see a return if I don't invest." I said.
The three of them closed the door of the store, carrying the remaining two catties of rice, and walked towards the small building, and met the patrol people in the city on the way, and asked us to show our documents, I thought for a long time where we have any documents, and finally the patrol people reminded me that the proof of renting a house or renting a shop.
I showed them the rental slips, and then let us go, which is strange enough, a slip is actually a proof of identity, if you want to sneak into the city to do something bad, it's not like playing.
