After a short period of temptation, Zhan Weiguo also had a general understanding of Li Wenbin's personality and temper, and said directly: "Each black iron suit is worth fifty first-order crystal nuclei, this price is indeed a bit expensive, and the army has not harvested many crystal nuclei so far, except for the evolutionary who needs to absorb it, there is not too much excess to trade." ”

"I wonder if it can be cheaper?"

"The price can't be cheap, and it will only get higher and higher in the future, but what you said is also true, so ......" Li Wenbin did not hesitate to dispel Zhan Weiguo's extravagant hopes, but suddenly gave him another opportunity.

"So what?"

"So I can allow you to trade something else, like ...... weapons. Li Wenbin chuckled.

At this stage, ordinary hot weapons are still more effective than cold weapons, especially against ordinary zombies, which are both labor-saving and safe.

After all, in this society, human beings have long forgotten about the use of cold weapons, and it is not possible to achieve it in a short period of time if they want to adapt to it again.

Although Li Wenbin has been building simple weapons and equipment for the survivor troops in the fortress, he needs some simpler weapons to buffer before he can really form combat effectiveness.

Firearms are a more practical option.

"It's impossible." Zhan Weiguo didn't even think about it, he directly shook his head and refused, "Weapons and ammunition are the foundation of the army, and I must ensure that these things are in the hands of the soldiers, and they cannot be traded." ”

"Then I can't help it, except for weapons and equipment, now I don't lack anything." Li Wenbin spread his hands indifferently.

"No, you're wrong, there's one thing you're missing right now." Zhan Weiguo said suddenly.

"I want to hear about it."

A gleam flashed in Zhan Weiguo's eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "People." What you lack most now is people. ”

"I know that you have a base that belongs to you, and if you want to build a development base, whether it is combat, logistics or civilian management, you need people."

"That's it?" Hearing this, Li Wenbin glanced at Zhan Weiguo lightly, shook his head and said, "You're right, now I do need a lot of manpower to build the base, but do you think this can be a bargaining chip for you to trade with me?" ”

"It's not like it used to be, don't you believe that as long as I yell a few words outside, I can take a large number of survivors for free, and I can choose?"

"What if I don't allow it? This is a military base, and the people here are all rescued by me. Zhan Weiguo said.

Li Wenbin smiled, and glanced at Zhan Weiguo like an idiot.

"They're all smart people, in this case, I think it's better not to say it, it makes me want to laugh at you. You don't even have complete control over your own troops, and you expect all the survivors to do what you say? ”

Zhan Weiguo's face froze, but he did not refute Li Wenbin's statement.

"Thirty crystal nuclei plus a Type 95 rifle plus 500 rounds of ammunition to buy a black iron suit, this is my reserve price." Li Wenbin said, "Since you are the first batch of customers, I can give you a little discount. For every Black Iron set purchased, I will solve the life problems of 100 of your survivors. But first, these survivors will all be under my jurisdiction in the future. ”

Zhan Weiguo's already ugly face collapsed again, and said, "You are a fool for me? ”

This abacus is simply not too loud.

I used to trade with Survivors, but now it's good, and in a blink of an eye, the trading chips have become a burden, and it has become a discount attached to the transaction.

It's like if you were going to exchange something for another person, but in the end it didn't become a bargaining chip, but instead became a giveaway, or someone didn't want it at all, but just chose to accept it.

It's infuriating!

Zhan Weiguo always thought that after so many years of tempering, his mood had been able to control as usual, but now he found that it was not like that, in the face of Li Wenbin, he had the urge to scold his mother.

"Twenty crystal nuclei, one gun, 200 rounds of ammunition plus 500 survivors for a black iron suit." Zhan Weiguo took a deep breath and said directly, "If you agree, you can trade now, and if you don't agree, we haven't talked about the transaction." ”

He was suppressing his anger, looking at Li Wenbin with a straight gaze, trying to tell the other party with such an expression: I am serious!

Li Wenbin smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Suddenly, Zhan Weiguo felt like he had eaten a dead mouse, his face was ugly, and he found that he seemed to have fallen into the trap of the other party. The real purpose of the other side does not seem to be weaponry.

But the words have already been spoken, and it is obviously too late to regret it now.

"You're a good profiteer." He held Li Wenbin's hand and said fiercely.

"Thanks for the compliment." Li Wenbin was not angry, and his smile was gentle.

As Zhan Weiguo thought, from the very beginning, his main purpose was not crystal nuclei and weapons and equipment, but people.

Now he has hundreds of subordinates equivalent to first-order enhancers, so the high-level combat effectiveness is not very lacking, and what he really needs is middle-level combatants.

Moreover, the construction of the fortress also requires a large number of manpower, and with people, a stable production line can be quickly established. In this way, it will be possible to quickly produce weapons and equipment and replenish combat personnel, forming a good development trend, and the basic combat strength will be quickly filled.

Zhan Weiguo is a smart person, and when Li Wenbin agreed to the price he proposed, he understood that this transaction was actually a concession from the other party. As long as the other party is black-hearted, he can secretly spread the news in private, and I believe that many survivors will automatically go to his fortress to seek survival.

Now that the price has been negotiated, it will be much easier to do next.

After some discussion, Li Wenbin received his first batch of orders.

Fifteen black iron suits.

That's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. After all, the time for the outbreak of the end times is not very long, the number of first-order zombies is not large, and the evolutionaries themselves still need crystal nuclei to absorb and refine.

Fifteen black iron suits in exchange for 300 crystal nuclei, fifteen 95 rifles, 3,000 rounds of ammunition and 7,500 survivors.

Overall, both parties are satisfied.

Zhan Weiguo's side got the equipment they wanted, the Evolutionary's combat power was enhanced, and the survival pressure of the survivors was reduced.

Li Wenbin's side also got what he wanted: crystal nuclei, weapons and equipment in the transitional stage, and manpower.

In addition, he also took this opportunity to repay the kindness of the protection given to him by the army in the previous life, without the army, he didn't know if he could live for three years in the previous life.

Coupled with the survivors in the fortress before, the number of survivors in the fortress has now exceeded 10,000, and it should not be far from 20,000, with these manpower, soon, the fortress will enter a rapid development stage.

The order was placed, and the two discussed it again and decided on the time and place of the transaction.

Li Wenbin can take 7,500 survivors away first, and as for the crystal nucleus and weapons and ammunition, they will have to wait until the transaction is made in person.

Except for the initial confrontation, the whole deal went smoothly, and everyone took what they needed.

After talking about the matter, the two chatted like old friends, Zhan Weiguo took some information he needed from time to time, and Li Wenbin dealt with it slowly and logically.

What should be said, do not hide. Not to say it, word for word.

Just as the two were 'chatting happily', a guard suddenly came to Zhan Weiguo's side and whispered.

"Mr. Li, it seems that we can only talk about this today." After quietly listening to the guard's report, Zhan Weiguo stood up and said.

"Something happened at the base, I'll deal with it."

Li Wenbin also stood up and said, "It's okay, that's my person, just go and have a look." ”

9 times the physique of ordinary people, although the guard's whispers are light, they can't escape his ears.

Yang Fan, it seems that he is in trouble.
