Chapter 39: The Reversed Plot
The sky is only slightly bright, and the yellowing sky has been shown in front of the world, cloudless, and it is a sunny day, except for the storm in the howling valley, Xiao Qiang has not seen any other weather.
Xiao Qiang tightened the sportswear on his body, the temperature this morning was low enough, and he could exhale a breath of white air, the temperature difference between day and night was so large that Xiao Qiang almost thought that he lived in Xinjiang.
"Winter will be in a month."
Ma Rui, who was sitting in the car pocket with him, pretended to have a deep tone with an inexplicable sense of joy, just like a child exclamating and understanding philosophy~
"Yes, the day of fat is coming~"
Xiao Qiang said that he laughed, but Zhao Jie and Ma Rui still had sad faces, and their laughter gradually became embarrassing, and finally coughed a few times, sometimes he hated his broken mouth,
But getting used to this thing is not something that can be controlled by rational intelligence~ that already belongs to the category of instinct~
"I~ Did I say something wrong again?"
Xiao Qiang was a little inexplicable, how could this atmosphere feel so serious.
"Winter is very difficult, it's too cold, all rivers will freeze, it's time to store water~"
Ma Rui Xiao Qiang changed the audio-visual in the clouds, can't it be stored in advance, and when it is used, even if it needs to be filtered and heated, it will be filtered~ Xiao Qiang, who was confused, waved his hand:
"Forget it, you'll understand when you go~"
"I think you'd better tell me about it first~"
Xiao Qiang's thirst for knowledge has never been so strong, everything he has experienced in the past few days tells him not to let go of any opportunity to understand the world, maybe he can find some common ground in the game, and he can also beware of the pit dug by the game experience~
"I'll tell you." Zhao Jie sat on the stool, separated from Xiao Qiang only by a piece of protective iron armor, so he could naturally hear what Xiao Qiang said.
"The general groundwater in the marginal provinces is insufficient, and the farm towns contain more toxins in the well water than in the rivers on the surface because of the special geology.
The river is seriously polluted due to the erosion of radiation toxins in the war, and it must be filtered twice by machines before it can be watered for livestock to drink, and it must be filtered four times to remove radiation and chemical agents from the water, and it can be filtered six times to achieve the quality of Class 2 filtered water, allowing humans to drink it directly. ”
"Is there such a lack of water here? But what does this have to do with winter? ”
Xiao Qiang frowned, it was really difficult to achieve even the minimum guarantee to survive in the wasteland. Zhao Jie's voice paused for a moment, and then continued.
"The temperature in the marginal provinces is very low in winter, except for the large flow of the Hunhe River, which only has a drop in water level, all other small rivers will be frozen by extremely low temperatures, and the only river next to Farm Town is not large, and it will be completely frozen every time it is winter!
Let's not mention the cost of how to make cremation water in extremely cold weather, but even if you have water, you can't filter it! The water purifier needs a huge amount of electricity support, the hydroelectric generator driven by the river is our only source of electricity, the river is frozen, and there is no electricity, how can there be water, often the price of water at this time is no different from gold~"
Xiao Qiang swallowed the bitter saliva in his mouth, he is now a little worried that Maria, the water resources that his night demon claw can exchange for need to be marked with a question mark, no, find a chance to go and see, now Xiao Qiang extremely disbelieves her!
It can be seen from the transformation incident that the one is the one who recognizes money but not people, and you have to be careful of the backlash~ Old Locke, old Locke, isn't our friendship as important as money? Ay~
"And how long will this freezing period last?"
Ma Rui said without hesitation: "The shortest is 2 months." ”
"The longest?" Xiao Qiang asked again.
"Then it depends on whether the sun is willing to come out to breathe~"
The carriage turned left and right in the town, and many of the residents in the town had already gotten up early to start busy with the stalls, and Xiaoqiang found that many people were carrying large containers on their backs and moving in the same direction as them.
There weren't many people talking and greeting along the way, more of them were boring forward, not to mention such high-end things as carriages, and I only saw a few cars along the way, which were still much smaller than Xiaoqiang's steel fortress.
The pure steel carriage under their buttocks is not for two-headed oxen, that is, the strong mutant coolies can only drag this huge iron lump that is incomparably heavy!
Xiao Qiang's carriage occupies nearly half of the street very domineeringly, and it is slightly crowded on the road where people come and go, but all the people here are agile and do not scratch it, as if there is a transparent wall separating everyone.
Except for a few small groups, all of them consciously kept a safe distance, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, these people are all veterans with a strong sense of fighting!
This highly tense atmosphere makes Xiao Qiang full of worries about his future life, the standard of living here is not low, at least there is a stutter, but what about other places?
People don't even have trust in each other, they can live under the same roof, I'm afraid that in addition to a piece of land that can be planted, it is the gun in the hands of the safety supervision team, and now he raises his hands in favor of the gun ban, let these people hold weapons in their hands, he probably doesn't dare to sleep~
But Xiao Qiang didn't notice that the eyes of everyone looking at Zhao Jie sitting in front of the carriage were so similar to Xiao Qiang looking at them!
The carriage walked and suddenly broke away from the team, and soon came to a courtyard, two people with shotguns saw that there was a carriage coming, and quickly opened the courtyard door, and before the carriage stopped, a bald bearded fart ran in front of Zhao Jie, and said flatteringly:
"Eldest sister, why do you have time to come to me today, if you have anything, just say something and I'll send it to the door for you."
"Lagoff, don't talk nonsense, if you don't get the news, your people will open the door for me? Take out everything you have prepared, I'm in a hurry! ”
Zhao Jie stepped on her strong shoulders and jumped out of the carriage, and her name Ragoff smiled a little more.
"Things have been prepared for a long time, how can I not care about the matter of the eldest sister's head, rest assured that they are the best buckets, and they have been cleaned up."
The bald guy Lagoff said and hurriedly beckoned to the back, and several of his subordinates hurriedly ran into the house.
"The price hasn't changed~"
When it comes to spending money, Zhao Jie's eyes lit up with a small flash of vigilance, and the greedy creature described in the novel, the flying lizard, Xiao Qiang can see it, as long as Zhao Jie picks up the money and plucks the goose, it is not enough to describe it, obviously Lagoff also knows Zhao Jie's talent attributes and quickly shakes his hand.
"How dare you increase the money of the eldest sister's head, I will give you a discount again, can you see it?"
Lagoff's head is getting lower and lower, Zhao Jie immediately became vigilant, the businessman took the initiative to make profits, it could only be because there were greater interests behind it,
"This is not the profiteer Ragoff I know! Before I get it clear, I don't dare ask for your discount. ”
Nothing to do, be diligent, either treacherous or thief! Some are cheap and not easy to earn, I'm afraid that something at home makes this product worry.
"I heard that the eldest sister got a batch of Daredevil's feces?"
Ragoff leaned forward, but Zhao Jie shook his head bluntly.
"If you don't sell it, don't even think about it!"
Zhao Jie's head is fast, what is the night demon feces, to put it mildly, with these, they don't have to be afraid of not having enough food, there is nothing more important in the wasteland than having a full stomach, money? It's really a critical time, and no matter how much money you have, you can't eat it~
"Big sister, don't refuse so quickly, we don't want a lot of money, 5 boxes! Just five boxes! 10,000 bullets in one basket! ”
"Don't, I'm just like that, don't think about it~"
"If you have something to discuss......"
The bald Lagev tried his best to persuade Zhao Jie and the two to bargain on the side, and Xiao Qiang looked at the small yard boredly.
This Western architectural style and the layout of the Eastern courtyard house make Xiao Qianglei's not light,
It is said that it is a shop, and there is no goods to put out, only when the door is opened, you can occasionally see a few things that seem to be commodities on the looming containers inside~
It is said that it is a private house~ There are no old and young people here, all of them are armed men with loaded guns, all vigilantly looking at the flow of people passing in front of the door, and there are a few people in the grass shed in the corner who use primitive tools to process iron pipes, which is clearly the barrel of a shotgun.
What kind of store is this, Xiao Qiang thought he had entered a terrorist training camp~
Moreover, he is now less and less sure whether this is the land of China, because there are far more faces in the West than in the East, and the whole yellow face is like that of an ethnic minority, when did China let foreigners occupy it?
"Where is this? How I feel weird. ”
Xiao Qiang asked Ma Rui next to him a little uneasily, and the guards around him looked at him with similar eyes to him as he saw a beautiful woman.
"Ah, this is Lagoff's grocery store, the blackest merchant in the whole town, but he has a way to get a lot of good goods, just like a big plastic bucket, and he is the only one who can sell it here, but the price~"
Ma Rui gave Xiao Qiang a look that everyone on the earth knows how to look at, and the wasteland is neither treacherous nor business-like, and Xiao Qiang is not surprised.
"It's good that it's not a black shop, but their eyes are so strange~"
Xiao Qiang's scared appearance made Ma Rui giggle non-stop, Xiao Qiang's face was black, this girl is going to the house to uncover the tiles? Is it that funny?
"It turns out that you will be afraid? I think you're crazy, hahahahaha."
As he spoke, Ma Rui laughed again, Xiao Qiang turned his head, he didn't have such a terrible wife with a low laugh!
"I wondered, wasn't Old Locke's woman, Maria, the biggest boss in town? Why don't you go to her? For the sake of old Locke's face, the price will definitely give a discount. ”
"The woman? Who told you she was the old Locke's woman! ”
Ma Rui looked strange, and Xiao Qiang's mouth opened and was stunned for a moment
"Isn't it?"
Xiao Qiang's mouth twitched~ Old Locke shouted one by one, did he make a mistake!!
"Of course not! Papa Locke and Maria are just prostitutes and customers, except that Papa Locke is the only one who can climb into Maria's bed. ”
Xiao Qiang felt that his gossip soul was burning!
"What a situation! Can you make it clear? ”
"I only know that Mary has a husband, and she is a small nobleman, otherwise she would not have been able to run such a large business, as for what happened, I only know that the two of them used to be a couple, as for why it became like this, few people really know.
But strictly speaking, Maria is not Old Locke's woman, although everyone knows that Locke's father will sleep in Maria's bed whenever he comes back, but that is for money! ”
Ma Rui's words made Xiao Qiang squirt out a mouthful of old blood! Oh my Daredevil Claws!! I thought it was for Old Locke, and it was sold cheaply! Is it your own wishful thinking?
"Can ~ can you make it clearer?"
Xiao Qiang instantly turned into a bitter gourd face, he believed that the value of the Daredevil's claws would definitely not be only 50,000! In addition to his strength, the four demon kings who can make the night demon rank in the wasteland also have his mystery!
If you ask any random person what part of the four demon kings of the wasteland they like the most, they will definitely say the scales of the death claws, the ears of the night demons, the poison of the green scorpion, and the tendons of the berserk orcs!
It's all about the existence of making all beings in the wasteland snatch their heads, but if you're asking about a king hunter who specializes in hunting high-level mutant creatures, and your relationship is still a little close,
He'll tell you! The most needed thing is the Daredevil's claws!
Why? Because of the Daredevil's claws, all that's left is how to kill the four demon kings above! In other words, with Daredevil Claw, all that's left is planning! Daredevil Claw is arguably the sharpest melee weapon in the world!
But I have to say that the only nocturnal creature, the night demon, is not to say that it is hunting, whether it can be found or not is another story! Even if you find it, whether you can get the news out alive or not, you still have to pass a level, even if the news gets out, it's another thing to say if the night demon is still there, even if it's still there, whether you can catch it or not is another matter!
Because of the night demon's perverted hearing and his cunning wisdom, he can completely judge the strength of the opponent, and even play hide and seek with you, which is inconvenient at night, but the night demon is indeed the home performance~
That's why the people of Howling Vale knew about the existence of the Daredevil, but they still let him run rampant for 20 years! I can't find it!! Got it! It's a death too!!
This guy can be ranked first among the four demon kings! But it can be said that the weakest deathclaw is ranked first, why? I don't think I need to say more~
"What's wrong with you? It's like losing money~"
Although Ma Rui looks stupid, she is definitely a smart girl, and when she looks at Xiao Qiang's boring appearance, she knows that it must be fine!
"No~nothing~"
Xiao Qiang has an urge to buy himself~
"Girl, do you know the Daredevil Claw?"
Xiao Qiang said suddenly, when it uses the Daredevil's claws, it will wrap a piece of cloth, and put it away immediately after use, Ma Rui They just thought it was a sharp short thorn, and Old Locke asked him for it on the road, Xiao Qiang didn't give it!
The wealth is not exposed, he knows this very well, how many friends and brothers are ruined on this, not to mention that he has only known this kid for three days! He now thinks it's a bit crazy to suddenly take out five Daredevil daggers!
No wonder the woman who had an accident in her family smiled so happily, who is not happy to make a lot of money!!
"Of course! That's a good thing, and any force will have a high price on it. But few people can get it~"
Ma Rui didn't understand why Xiao Qiang asked about this!
"Approximate how much can it be sold for?" Xiao Qiang's teeth squeaked!
"The purchase price is a minimum of 200,000 alliance coins! Now more have been fried to more than 300,000! If it is a set, it can be doubled. ”
"Damn! Got caught! ”
Xiao Qiang's teeth are about to be crushed!
"What?" Ma Rui was a little confused.
"I have Daredevil Claws!"
Xiao Qiang squeezed out from between his teeth word by word! But Ma Rui didn't believe it~
"No kidding, that kind of thing is not money for us, it's a disaster~"
But the next moment, the swaying arm didn't let go, and suddenly remembered something!
"You're not really going to put it again?" Xiao Qiang's face was gloomy and he didn't make any moves, but he didn't refuse at the moment, that is, it was true!
"You really have!!"
Ma Rui's voice suddenly raised, and even Zhao Lagoff and the others looked here! Ma Rui quickly shrank his head. Xiao Qiang said viciously:
"That's right! I have!! But it's not in my hands anymore! ”
