The old man's eyes were straight when he looked at the list of goods sent by Green Shield, and he was speechless for a long time.

Everything is food, there are four kinds of fruit alone, let alone four, and they have never eaten any real fruit.

Then there was the chicken, the fish, and some of the pork, all tender and real meat, not the meat of the beasts, which was either black and red like rot, or dry and hard like the wood, and smelly.

"This ...... This is all the goods you brought?! The old man looked at Zhang Zhen in shock.

Zhang Zhen nodded: "Jiaolong's warehouse is limited, but I still bring a little bit, and it will not be a problem to satisfy you." ”

The old man looked at the fresh meat and fruit, as well as the large amount of rice and noodles, and made a difficult decision.

Jin Quan watched Green Shield's saliva flowing, and said excitedly: "Father, buy some and let everyone taste it." ”

"Shut up." The old man drank the golden power, and stood up a little embarrassed: "City Lord, it's inconvenient here, how about we go into the room and talk?" ”

Zhang Zhen nodded, and entered a room like an RV next to him with the old man, but the old man didn't even let Jin Quan in, and closed the door tightly, a little nervous and embarrassed to let Zhang Zhen sit first.

"Mr. Mayor, although my goods are unique, please rest assured, I am a fair price, you can open your mouth as much as you like." Zhang Zhen didn't understand what the old man was embarrassed about.

The town elder shook his head, sat down and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "It's because your goods are too complete that it's a problem, I can't buy these things." ”

"Why?" Zhang Zhen was surprised.

"To tell you the truth, in the early years, we could still find a lot of food in the ruins under the desert, because of the desert, a lot of food was well preserved, air-dried meat, rice noodles that were not seriously corrupted, and now we can occasionally find a canned fruit, but the rest is basically gone, food began to be scarce, and we had to hunt exotic beasts as the main food." The old man said worriedly.

Zhang Zhen said strangely: "Then the food I brought is alleviating your crisis." ”

The old man shook his head heavily: "Survival in the desert is different, we have rarely traded with outsiders, living a self-sufficient life, people have become accustomed to hard survival, if I buy a lot of your food, these people will begin to get used to getting more, and shaking our survival concept for decades will make the whole town go to ruin." ”

Zhang Zhen suddenly figured it out, this is the same reason as the gopher gang don't want food to ask for gold, they are afraid that these foods will shake their belief in survival, and they are afraid that they will no longer be able to accept the original living environment after eating real food, which will cause cracks in the group to begin to shake and endanger the survival of the entire group.

He frowned and said: "I can understand, but I only have these to exchange gold with you, no meat, no fruits and vegetables, you can ask for some rice noodles and canned food, but this is far from enough to exchange for gold." ”

The old man pondered, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you back three tons of gold, and it's enough to give me a certain amount of rice and canned food, and it would be good if Mr. could give us a certain amount of salt." ”

Zhang Zhen glanced at the stock of Jiaolong salt, nodded and said: "I only have a spare bag and a half in the car, I can give you a bag, if you come next time or you send someone to Longyuan City, I can give you a hundred bags." ”

"Thank you City Lord, if it is possible, I will send someone to visit Longyuan City." The old man was grateful, he valued salt the most, and it was indispensable to find it in the desert.

Zhang Zhen asked Chariot Ji to transfer twenty bags of flour in the carriage, and another thousand cans, and drove the cart into a hidden room according to the old man's guidance to complete the transaction.

He can still understand the old man's fear of getting real food, these people are not easy to survive in the desert, and suddenly one day they eat fresh meat with fruits, I am afraid that they will not survive in the desert in the future, the old man is afraid that the people here will have the idea of going out, so he doesn't even dare to let others know what he brought over.

Jin Quan knew that he was very dissatisfied with the old man's only need for noodles and some canned food, so he took Zhang Zhen to another room to fill it with gold, and complained: "The old man is too timid, he never wants to contact the outside world, and he is not allowed to leave the desert. ”

Zhang Zhen looked out through the car wall, there really is a golden statue in this town, it is in the middle of the town, and the center of this town is very small, and there are several golden statues half-buried in the sand, which is rumored to be true.

And in the room where he came there were exactly three tons of gold bars, which looked like the bank's gold reserves.

Jin Quan saw Zhang Zhen looking at the gold bars and explained enthusiastically: "This was found in a building under the sand by chance many years ago, according to my father, it was a bank before the end of the world, and my father said that this desert was not exactly a desert before, and there was a very rich big city, after the end of the world, it was bombed very strictly, and a ten-level sandstorm was blown for ten years, and when the sandstorm subsided, the city was also buried." ”

Zhang Zhen seemed to have a terrible sandstorm in front of him, and it must be terrible to be able to completely bury a city underground.

"Well, send me out of the quicksands." After the gold was loaded into the carriage, Zhang Zhen said to Jin Quan.

Jin Quancai still wanted to take the initiative to lead the way, and when he saw Zhang Zhen say that it was a joy, his father had no reason not to let him go, so he hurriedly ran to drive his own car.

Zhang Zhen deliberately brought Jin Quan out, and when he came out of the quicksand area, he stopped the car and called Jin Quan to Jiaolong, and the gold occupied a large part of the space, and took out wine and apples and oranges in the small space left.

"Try it first, I'll cook some food and have a meal together."

Jin Quan looked at the apples that were more tender than the light brain, and the oranges that were more fragrant than canned fruits and nodded excitedly.

Zhang Zhen took out some chicken and put it in the rice cooker, simmered some rice, sat down and opened the beer and said, "You seem to know a lot about food before the end of the world." ”

Jin Quan peeled off the orange peel and bit the juicy orange petal, and the heart was about to melt, and nodded happily: "When I was a child, I followed my father into the ruins under the desert to find things, some of them were seen through pictorials and video resources, and some of them found similar processed foods, but unfortunately they have not been found in the past few years." ”

"You want to go out of the desert?" Zhang Zhen asked, sipping beer.

Jin Quan nodded: "The resources in the desert are becoming more and more difficult to find, and the wind and sand will also bury the town, but my father insists that this place is the safest, but even if the time comes, we live underground, and no food is a dead end, I want to look for opportunities outside, but my father disagrees." ”

Zhang Zhen smiled, watched the rice cooked, put the meat and rice out, didn't ask again, and ate with Jin Quan.

Jin Quan smelled the aroma of meat, and couldn't say anything excited when he looked at the soup, so he ate it with gratitude.

Zhang Zhen ate first, then found a box of cigarettes, and when Jin Quan finished eating, he threw the cigarettes over and said: "Your father is right to protect the survival of everyone, but it doesn't affect you to come out and take a look, now the wasteland is very safe, and there is a chance to come to Longyuan City to find me." ”

"Thank you, city lord, I will definitely go." Jin Quan held the cigarette with a face of gratitude and admiration, in his eyes, Zhang Zhen is a hero, he can swim in the ghost desert with a dragon, he admires this courage very much, not to mention the blink of an eye to destroy the Iron Bone Gang, he is even more curious about the rumors of Zhang Zhen's extermination of the corpse king, and secretly sighs how happy he would be if he was lucky enough to participate in it.

Zhang Zhen said goodbye to Jin Quan and drove the dragon to continue to hurry, this time there is no need to call the gopher gang, just walk along the road you came, the speed of the car can't run to the limit anyway, and the radar is enough to analyze the danger under the desert.

Of course, there is a purpose to call Jin Quan, the remaining gold in the town is not the main thing, the main thing is that if there is a war in the future, if you want to destroy the country of the four seas, the ghost desert cannot be taken lightly, although the ghost desert is a forbidden area, no one generally passes through, but if there is a real war, here is the fastest way to enter the west, and the car town is the largest survival team in the ghost desert, and it must be used later.
