Chapter 256: Picking Wild Vegetables
"Well, yes, it's rare to see a gathering place like yours."
"Everyone has a little kinship, how can they be willing to give up, so bitter is a little bitter, but the closest people are also very happy."
Zhang Qiang understood what Lu Tian meant, and looked at the old men and women who were making weapons or washing clothes gently.
"Brother Zhang, let's go and arrange it, it's not too early?"
Lu Tian opened his mouth to remind, otherwise he would forget the time as soon as he said it.
"Okay, I'll hand over the task right away, I hope you can wait."
After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he entered the house, and the sound of speech came faintly.
Lu Tian didn't touch the tea, but looked at the old radio on the table, and the people here relied on this to receive news from the outside.
The large bases in the central and local areas, when the signal is not very affected at night, will broadcast some information, such as the way of survival, the value of various materials, the situation in various places, the situation of zombies and beasts, which has become the only mass communication tool for human beings today.
Two minutes later, Zhang Qiang and the two guys who had just been guarding the door came over, "This brother, let us accompany you!" ”
"Okay, let's go!"
It is dangerous outside, if you don't go together, you may die at any time, Zhang Qiang thought that when he came back later, Lu Tian might not follow, and he needed to call two more people.
"Old Five, keep your home well, I'll come back as soon as I help this brother."
Zhang Qiang shouted to another rather sturdy man, and after receiving an answer, he followed Lu Tian out with a spear.
And the dark-skinned and the other young man were still holding the shield machete they had just used, and they thought that this was their usual tool.
"Brother, don't know what to call it yet?"
"My surname is Wang, just call me Mr. Wang."
"Okay, Mr. Wang."
When there were dozens of meters, Lu Tian stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I have a companion to come over." ”
Zhang Qiang was on guard again at this time, there was no way, once he got out of the gathering place, he couldn't be careful, and no one knew when a zombie or beast would jump out.
"He's coming!"
Lu Tian reminded him, a bald head walked in the distance, nearly two meters tall, a strong body, and he walked with strength, plus a pair of sunglasses and tattered blood-stained clothes, Zhang Qiang and the others subconsciously took a step back, frightened by its momentum.
"Mr. Wang should be a transcendent, right?"
"Yes, when did you learn about the Transcendental?"
"I learned from the radio half a month ago, I heard that level 2 transcendents are very powerful, and we also know a lot of beasts, such as the kind of gray wolf killed by Mr. Wang is a level 3 beast, and its combat power is comparable to that of the previous tiger, and it is very fierce."
Zhang Qiang said with some envy that when he saw the intersection in front of him, he changed his direction in time and walked to the place in his memory.
The dark skin interjected and said, "Has Mr. Wang been to the base?" ”
"Been there, what's wrong?"
He showed a look of yearning, "I heard that the base is safe and warm, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, really?" ”
"Who told you?"
"Another guy from the gathering place said."
"That's a lie to you, there are many people in the base and little food, many people can't eat, as for safety, many people have to go out to hunt zombies or collect materials in exchange for food, and there are many dead, and the base was attacked by hundreds of thousands of zombies the day before yesterday, and the city was almost destroyed."
"Ahh
The dark-skinned man said angrily, "Damn, that guy is really bragging." ”
Zhang Qiang thought of something at this time, "Mr. Wang, I heard that the zombie crystal nucleus is very useful, is it true?" ”
Lu Tian's heart moved, if he hadn't gone to the ruins, he might have exchanged crystal nuclei with them, but now he is not very interested, it is estimated that there are only hundreds of them, but if he can exchange them, he will naturally change them casually.
"It's useful, you can exchange it for a lot of things, it's equivalent to the previous gold, it's hard currency, I don't know how many you have, I can exchange it for prey."
Zhang Qiang was very excited to hear the news, the valuable things about the crystal nucleus were all heard from the radio, and no one had yet determined it.
"Really, fortunately, everyone consciously left the crystal nucleus, and now there are about more than two hundred, many of these crystal nuclei are exchanged for human lives, and they can be exchanged with you."
"It's true, it's still in the early stages, and it will definitely pay more and more attention in the future, but it's a pity that most of the base is surrounded by zombie groups at present, and few people can come out to collect crystal nuclei, so no one has come here all the time."
Lu Tian didn't hide it either, and told them some things.
However, he also got a lot of news from the conversation just now, that is, the value of these small gathering places outside the base, most of these places will collect some crystal nuclei, and the base is temporarily free to collect, which is naturally a good way to collect energy.
Even if a gathering place only collects hundreds of crystal nuclei in a month, the number of gathering places outside can be quite large, and the accumulation of small amounts is a lot, and the large-scale acquisition is bound to be very promising.
It seems that the previous policy is going to change, and now most of the extraordinaire forces are paying attention to the various bases, who would pay attention to this kind of small gathering place with only dozens to hundreds of people.
"How far is it?"
Lu Tian looked at the somewhat desolate places around him and asked.
"It's about ten minutes to walk, but there are a lot of scattered zombies and beasts over there, Mr. Wang be careful."
"Don't worry, with the two of us here, there will be no danger."
In order to let a few people do their best for themselves, Lu Tian must of course make some commitments.
"We need more vegetables, and when we ask the three of us to help pick them, I will give each person ten catties of meat as compensation."
"Mr. Wang, even if you don't say it, we will help you pick it."
Zhang Qiang's honest face was even happier, he didn't expect this gentleman to be so generous.
"Wait a minute, find a few pockets for wild vegetables."
"No problem."
Zhang Qiang agreed, and his steps became more and more brisk.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Qiang pointed to a gentle slope overgrown with plants in front of him, "Mr. Wang, this is it, when we don't have food, we often come here to find wild vegetables to eat." ”
"Is it the pale cyan plant?"
"Yes, it's this wild vegetable, it's not poisonous, it tastes a little like spinach, and it tastes a little bitter."
Lu Tian put his spiritual power out and took a look, there were a lot of these wild vegetables growing on the entire hillside, this wild vegetables grew very luxuriantly, some were half a foot high, the green leaves had a light cyan oil shine, the leaves were wide, some like rape, it should be a mutated plant.
"Then I'm sorry for you, we're here to guard your surroundings so that there is no danger."
"Well, is Mr. Wang going to fill all five pockets?"
"No, put it in four pockets, didn't you say there's another wild vegetable nearby?"
Lu Tian estimated that although there were many wild vegetables in front of him, it was not easy for him to pick them all, and many of them were still tender teeth, so it would be good to pack four bags.
Zhang Qiang and the three of them answered, and ran to pick vegetables, they were very skillful, and it seemed that they were very wise to bring them by themselves.
Lu Tian was not idle, when he had just scanned the surroundings with his mental power, he saw a few zombies and had to solve them.
However, he didn't go, but asked Qingjia to clean them up, and walked to a place.
In addition to zombies, it also found several nests of hares, all of which were unusually fat, how could they be missed.
Half an hour later, there were already four big bags of wild vegetables piled up in front of Lu Tian, and Zhang Qiang and the others were also smiling and grinning, each carrying six fat hares, each of which weighed more than ten catties, and even more than twenty fatter hares were placed in Lu Tian's space ring, except for some small rabbits, he almost took the rabbit nest on this hillside.
"These can be exchanged for your crystal nuclei, right?"
"No problem, that's enough."
How can Zhang Qiang not be satisfied, they also know the value of their crystal nuclei, and it is not bad to be able to exchange so much meat.
"Okay, I'll pick another wild herb later, and I'll go back to your gathering place."
Lu Tian asked Qingjia to come over and pick up the four bags of wild vegetables, and the few of them walked to a nearby wild area.
……
"Big brother, this bald head is so powerful, these four bags of wild vegetables are at least two hundred catties, he is actually like a nobody."
The dark-skinned young man was picking a purple wild vegetable with his head down, but his mouth was talking to Zhang Qiang.
"Pick vegetables quickly, can you talk about this kind of strong person at will?"
Zhang Qiang's face turned pale and scolded.
More than ten minutes later, several people picked two large bags of wild vegetables, because this kind of wild vegetables did not taste very good, Lu Tian did not let them pick too much.
Lu Tian was idle, and hunted more than a dozen hares beside him, leaving five for Zhang Qiang and them, and the others were quietly put away.
"Mr. Wang, you are really a good person, most of the outsiders I met came to steal things, only you gave us more things."
"It's nothing to me, go back, I've got to rush back."
"Yes, yes."
But Lu Tian and the others hadn't gone far before they ran into another group of people, numbering more than twenty, among them there were two women in ragged clothes and smelling all over their bodies, and they were chained and dragged away like dogs.
More than 20 people were carrying knives, guns and sticks, most of them looked fierce, and at this time, they surrounded Lu Tian and the others, and their eyes looked greedily at the things in the hands of Zhang Qiang and the others.
"Oops, I ran into them, I forgot to put the hare in a bag."
The dark-skinned said warily.
"You can't run away when you cover it, there are so few of us, how can they miss it?"
Zhang Qiang said with an ugly face, he didn't expect to meet these people.
One of the twenty people was wearing a red fur coat and a middle-aged man with a long scar on his face and walked out with a big knife, his eyes rolling on Lu Tian and the others, "The weather is good today, I can actually meet a few people, it's really fate!" ”
His zombies were a little dumb, as if they were ordinary, but the fierce light in his eyes was **naked.
"He is the leader of another nearby gathering place, called Scar Tiger, the people in this gathering place are some fierce people, pay attention to the law of the jungle, usually not only hunt wild beasts nearby, but also often rob some groups with few people, among which this person is the most ruthless, I heard that he has also eaten human flesh."
Zhang Qiang explained to Lu Tian in a whisper, his heart trembled a little, usually there are many of them, of course they are not afraid, but at this time, there are only five people, surrounded by people several times their size, they are still this kind of fierce people, even if they know that Lu Tian is very powerful, he is still afraid.
