Chapter 008: Buying Slaves
Oh, my God!
It turned out to be eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a piece of fragrant cooked beef.
Chen Nuo was so shocked that he couldn't speak, could it be that Ding You was really God? In a short period of time, these "rare treasures" can be vacated in this last days!
"I just said, I want to treat you to something delicious, the kitchenette in the suite can be used, and I will make you a few things to eat."
If Ding You hadn't been here, Chen Nuo would have even wanted to ignore the image of a lady and directly stuff those fresh tomatoes and cucumbers into his mouth. These foods may not be eaten by the dignitaries and nobles in the survivors' base, and they are still greedy for hot and cold.
But Ding You was still serious about cutting vegetables and putting them in the pot, and suddenly, the suite was filled with aroma. Chen Nuo, who was lying in front of the counter and staring, was greedy, it was called a drool.
Ding You's cooking skills are average, and he will make a tomato scrambled egg, cucumber scrambled egg, sprinkle some seasoning, and then cut the cooked beef. The three dishes at noon are considered to be completed.
"Let's eat!"
Looking at Chen Nuo, who was sitting at the dining table and was overwhelmed, Ding You handed her a pair of chopsticks and told her to eat.
I thought it was too troublesome to bring rice to cook rice, anyway, there was ready-made fried rice in the supermarket space, so Ding You loaded it out and served a bowl to Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo, whose hands trembled excitedly holding the chopsticks, actually forgot to put down the chopsticks at this time, his eyes were red, and there was a circle of mist.
Ding You knew that she was excited, but these foods were really nothing, and when her life was stable in the future, there would be nothing in the supermarket!
"Hey, I said Miss Chen Nuo, don't be too excited, hurry up and eat, after eating, we have to go to the market to see if we can buy some weapons."
"Weapons?"
Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Ding You thought of buying weapons for no reason.
Ding You pointed to a few dishes on the table and said, "I know you are a special combat member, but look at it, now we have so many rare materials in our hands, in case we attract pretenders and want to come hard, can you stand it alone?" ”
Chen Nuo thought about it, although he had received regular military training, he was okay with two or three bandits, but if he faced a group of people, he would not be able to do it.
"Then why don't you go buy some more slave troops!" Chen Nuo endured the temptation of the meal and spoke.
This is to say that Ding You is sorry, can you still buy a slave army in this last world? Aren't you afraid that those outlaws will forget their righteousness and harm their employers in turn!
However, although Ding You had doubts, he saw that Chen Nuo was working very hard, so he should wait for her to ask after dinner.
With Ding You's repeated instructions, and promised that Xiaoyu and Yao Bo would be able to eat such a meal after they went back. Chen Nuo finally put aside his worries and gobbled up regardless of the image of a lady.
It's so delicious!
Every inch of the taste buds on the tongue were like a long-dry land, struggling to absorb the deliciousness, the whole three dishes, and a bowl full of fried rice, were wiped out by Chen Nuo like a whirlwind, and there was not even a little soup left.
Ding You looked at it, this girl, what kind of hunger is this!
Chen Nuo held his bulging belly, burped, and said contentedly, "It's so happy, I haven't eaten a hot and fragrant meal for a long time." ”
Ding You is not hungry, he is full after a little eating, since both of them have drunk and eaten, then the next step should be to consider the problem of the slave soldier.
Through Chen Nuo's narration, Ding You also further understood the rules of life in the last days.
Each survivor base is a relatively independent and closed fortress. Although there are many merchants who travel through the various bases to do business, the number is scarce, and there is not much face-to-face communication between the bases.
Most of them rely on technology, such as remote hologram communication, to do some communication with each other, of course, this is limited to those bases that are friendly with each other and have some goods exchange.
Proud of the development of science and technology before the end of the world, there is no shortage of modern equipment, such as bioenergy reverse osmosis water purification equipment powered by crystal nucleus energy elements, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, solar panels, etc.
Even vehicles and weapons are not rare in the last days, with the exception of fresh and hygienic food.
Human beings unified the crystal card as a settlement hard currency for the transaction of goods, so a series of industries are also developing.
Energy is needed for the breeding of mutated plants and animals, and energy is also indispensable for the survival of humans. Weapons to fight mutated creatures require energy to run machinery and equipment, as do synthetic nutrient potions that require minimal survival.
So the crystal card became a hard currency, which is the choice of the times. But energy can be obtained by hunting zombies and mutated creatures, but food is not guaranteed to be bought with money.
So almost every survivor base has an excess of labor surplus, and at the same time, not everyone has the courage to leave the base to face the monsters outside.
As a result, many old and weak people with weak production capacity are naturally eliminated into slaves, eating two mouthfuls of mutant food every day, and taking a lowest-grade nutritional injection to maintain a weak life.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as some middle-aged people who have violated the law, and their crimes do not lead to death, but they are not worried that they will continue to mess with the base.
So, put on a self-detonation collar and use it as free labor in the base factory, and at the same time, it is also allowed to spend a small amount of crystal cards to redeem yourself as a slave army.
Think of the so-called self-detonation collar, which is a device that can detect the wearer's mood swings and prevent it from harming the employer, and those slave soldiers who were bought are probably engaged in some life-and-death tasks.
For example, go to dangerous areas to find food, and go to places full of zombies to harvest virus crystal nuclei. In short, no matter which one they are, as slaves, they will only be greeted by a more miserable life.
Ding You didn't feel afraid, at least he had a self-detonation collar, and those stronger slaves couldn't have the heart to kill their masters. It was the old and frail slaves in Chen Nuo's mouth that attracted Ding You's attention.
"Like Uncle Yao and Xiaoyu? It's pathetic. Ding You asked with a sigh.
"It's a woman."
Chen Nuo's mouth slowly spit out a word, yes, women, the most tragic thing in the last days must be women.
If you don't have the protection of the base, most of them will become the object of men's animal desires in the last days. And even in the base, many of them will become the playthings of dignitaries.
Others, who are unwilling to work, voluntarily become despicable prostitutes. Female, it's really sad and hateful.
Ding You looked at Chen Nuo and suddenly realized that her luck was not bad, at least she could become a special combat team member, not one of those women who were defiled by others.
Ay!
The more I think about it, the sadder I become.
The good mood during the meal was diluted by the tragic fate of human beings, Ding You shook his head, wanting those bad emotions to leave quickly.
The two of them carried their things on their backs and walked out of the hotel gate again.
The goal is a big market, since Ding You intentionally or unintentionally wants to establish his own survivor gathering point, then, relying on Chen Nuo, Yao Bo, and Xiaoyu alone, this is far from enough, and even self-protection is a little difficult.
Even if you don't build your own survivor base, it's too dangerous to trade food back and forth without a single escort.
So the two decided to recruit some strong slave soldiers. Of course, if he encounters really poor people, Ding You also plans to save a few.
The trading market in the ninth district is located in the middle of the outer and inner circles, not far from the item crystal card exchange shop that was traded in the morning. There are a lot of shops inside, and there are a lot of things that are sold.
There are some furniture, weapons, firearms, and electronic products, and Ding You spent 5 crystal cards to buy a high-performance holographic map. It looks similar to a tablet in the previous life, except that this mapper can display holographic stereoscopic images.
There were also shops selling nutritional injections and mutant foods in the market, but Ding You didn't look at them for the time being, and instead focused on finding slaves.
The slave market, just in a corner of the big market, covers an area that is neither large nor small. Surrounded by iron cages, Ding You suddenly had the feeling of visiting the zoo in his previous life.
Whether the slaves in the cage are strong or thin, their eyes are full of dead ashes, and it is estimated that they also know what the fate will be.
"Boss, are you planning to buy slaves?"
When a lean man saw Ding You looking in front of the cage, he knew that business had come to the door, and hurriedly came up to greet him.
Ding You nodded slightly.
The thin man came to the momentum and vigorously sold to Ding You, but the people in the cage turned a deaf ear, as if what happened outside had nothing to do with them.
"Boss, look at my goods, there's nothing wrong with them, they're alive. If you need to be stronger, look over there, it's full of strong men, and the guards fight zombies, that's absolutely fine. ”
Enduring the chatter in his ears, Ding You even found several children in the cage, both male and female.
"Can a child be a slave?" Ding You asked Chen Nuo puzzled.
Without waiting for Chen Nuo to answer, the thin horse monkey ran up and said, "Boss, don't worry, those children don't count as a price, at most you look pleasing to the eye, and give a few crystal cards a little bit." ”
Crazy, the world is really crazy, buying and selling human beings has become legal, and the children, who are called the future of the country, have become worthless.
Also, it is a sin that children have no ability to work, and they only waste food to live!
"What price?" Ding You asked again.
"Strong men, not sick, 35 crystal cards apiece, those women and the elderly, 20 crystal cards apiece." The skinny horse monkey didn't think much about it, and made a direct offer.
So cheap?
A strong man's last chicken sausage?
It's really troubled times, human life is not worth anything!
Ding You didn't know that seeing that he was brightly dressed and the shrewd thin horse monkey had already raised the price a lot.
"Is there any kind of dragging a family with a mouth, pack and buy."
The thin horse monkey didn't expect Ding You not to buy strong men, but to buy those family types who have little ability to work.
"Yes, yes, let me look at the statistics...... There are 3 households in a family of four, 4 households in a family of three, and the rest, do the two husbands and wives without children count? ”
