The number of followers in the team is in the hundreds, and the daily consumption of clean water is a considerable number. Liu Tianming doesn't think that the water supply pipeline in the ruins of the city can still work normally, and the water source is so far away from the railway station, in this case, what can Hu Zhehai use to supply himself?

He saw the confusion in Liu Tianming's eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll do what I say."

Hu Zhehai changed to a more comfortable standing posture and said with a smile: "We have several water wheels. You've probably seen the kind of green belt that the government's greening department used to water the green belt on the street before the virus broke out. The water tank is huge, and I estimate that two truckloads of water a day are enough for you. Of course, the water pumped up from the river is not purified, and you have to boil the water yourself to drink. If it's a bath, then there's no problem. ”

I see.

"Thank you for your help."

Liu Tianming nodded with satisfaction: "Just do as you say!" ”

Hu Zhehai grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth: "Nothing in this world is free, isn't it?" ”

Liu Tianming's hostility towards this guy was reduced to the lowest point. Quite simply, Hu Zhehai looks like a businessman, not a survivor struggling to survive in the ruins of a city in the conventional sense. As long as it is a normal exchange, everyone must pay attention to credit, which is also Liu Tianming's favorite practice.

"As long as the price is reasonable, then I have no problem."

Hu Zhehai shrugged his shoulders: "It seems that we have reached a consensus." Hehe! But I don't know anything about you, I don't even know what you have. What can be offered in exchange? I'm not listening to secrets, I'm just trying to find out. Hehe...... Captain Liu, if I say this, you shouldn't be angry, right? ”

He still seemed careful, trying not to provoke the other person verbally. It can be seen that Hu Zhehai has done similar things before, and there must be a lot of people he knows.

Liu Tianming didn't care about this. He thought for a moment and gave his own reply: "We have rice and flour, and there are some canned luncheon meat and canned fish. Well...... There are also some hams, the kind that are cured whole, without cutting. I don't think you'll be interested in pickles and table salt. ”

"Oh! If that's all you can get in exchange, you'll have to spend a lot of money on two truckloads of water a day. ”

Hu Zhehai shook his head not very satisfied: "Seriously, we are not short of food. During its boom years, the city had a permanent population of tens of millions. After the outbreak of the virus, supermarkets and stores were filled with food. Although a large part of it was infiltrated by rainwater due to poor storage, it became moldy and spoiled, but the remaining part was enough for us to eat for several years. Almost everyone escaped, and the mutant monsters had no interest in food. ”

"You don't really understand what "business value" is. In fact, the law of value has never changed, both now and in the past. Scarcity is expensive. I'm not sitting on the ground, but you need water, and my watermill passes through the territory of other powers, and I also have to pay taxes. Deduct the part that has to be paid, and then my profit. Hehe! Captain Liu, if your exchange is just ordinary food, of course I can accept it. Merely...... The number will be large, quite massive. I don't think you're going to accept that number. But it can't be helped, that's the rule, the rules made by everyone in the city. ”

Liu Tianming didn't answer, he smiled faintly, turned his head, and snapped his fingers at Zheng Xiaoyue, who was standing behind him. Zheng Xiaoyue nodded knowingly, put the assault rifle on her back, and turned around and walked in the direction of the train.

She walked swayingly. Black sexy stockings wrapped around the slender legs, and the same color heels with the "Belle" logo stepped on the concrete floor, making a crisp impact. The self-control of those people behind Hu Zhehai was obviously not as good as his, and a pair of eyes stared at Zheng Xiaoyue's back, and many voices were whispering.

"This chick is so hot."

"She's a nice beauty. It's a shame that she's not one of ours, and there's no such beautiful high-end goods in town. Otherwise, even if Lao Tzu spends all his savings, he must taste her taste. ”

"These outsiders don't seem to be a lot, why don't we go back and discuss, kill all the men, and leave the women to warm the bed?"

"We can't do this kind of thing. Let's hear what the leader has to say. ”

Although the sound was small, not much louder than a mosquito's call, Liu Tianming still relied on his evolved superior hearing to take everything into his ears.

When Zheng Xiaoyue came back, she had an extra cardboard box in her hand. She walked past the other core members of the team in order with the boxes, each reaching in and pulling out an apple. There were no verbal commands, no need to make any eyes, and everyone opened their mouths to bite the apple. Suddenly, there was a crisp "click" sound at the scene.

Liu Tianming took an apple handed over by Zheng Xiaoyue, checked it in his hand, turned it in the direction of Hu Zhehai, and said with a smile: "If I exchange this, what do you think?" ”

The source of apples, of course, is the Northwest base. Liao Qiu used his ability to expand the capacity of the helicopter cargo compartment several times, and it was not a problem to bring dozens of boxes of apples. Except for the part that was distributed to followers last time, there is almost half of the apple left. Because they are well preserved, they are very fresh, and the red and yellow colors on the skin are extremely vivid and eye-catching.

The corners of Hu Zhehai's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but open his mouth.

This is actually a very normal physiological reaction———— when the source of production is completely cut off, many ordinary things in peacetime have now become fantasy pictures that exist in the mind. For example, apples, Hu Zhehai can find relevant information about the aroma, taste, and texture of this fruit from memory. Many times he wanted to try it, but the market was so empty that he could no longer see the vendors hawking on the streets. I am afraid that all the concepts about apples will gradually be erased from the memories of this generation, and the next generation will only know what apples are, and they can only see them from books.

"Fifty boxes!"

Hu Zhehai's reaction was quick, and he made a decision almost immediately: "Give me fifty boxes of apples, and I can provide you with two truckloads of water a day." ”

Liu Tianming slowly put away the smile on his face. He stared at Hu Zhehai for a few seconds and threw the apple in his hand over. Hu Zhehai hurriedly caught it and heard Liu Tianming's voice that had become cold and hard.

"I don't like dealing with greedy people. You're greedy. You yourself have said that scarcity is expensive. Who in the city can come up with an apple? And it's very fresh. I love trading and am willing to trade. But you have to understand that profiteers are a nasty profession. It was so before, and it still is. ”

Seeing that the deal might collapse, Hu Zhehai had a trace of shame and anger in his eyes. He didn't show it on his face at all, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, making a very sincere appearance: "No, no, no! I think you're mistaken. Since it's a deal, you can make a counteroffer. I...... In fact, this is a common rule in the city, and you are from other places, so you must not be used to some of the practices here...... All right! It was my fault. I should have made the rules clear from the beginning, so that it would be easier for everyone to communicate. ”

The coldness on Liu Tianming's face eased slightly. He looked at Hu Zhehai: "I still have a lot of things to deal with. Let's just say the price! It's better to be the kind that everyone can accept. ”

After a pause, Liu Tianming added in a cold tone: "You'd better think about it clearly." This is your last chance. I know there are a lot of gangs in the city. Your Iron Fist Society can't be the only one. If your price doesn't fit, I'll find someone else. I'm sure the other gangs are interested in this deal. I just need water, and this is not a desert. ”

The expression on Hu Zhehai's face was a little stiff. Although he smiled, he looked embarrassed, and the smile was like a knife carved into his face, completely solidified.

He really wanted to take advantage of it.

It is actually a very normal practice to get benefits from outsiders. It's just that I didn't expect Liu Tianming to be so strong.

The people who followed Hu Zhehai this time were all the elite of the Iron Fist Society. His initial idea was simple: to deceive if he could, and it was best to get a lot of benefits from this group of outsiders at a small cost. On the issue of water sources and charges, Hu Zhehai did not lie. But he said that the price to be paid was very high. In fact, it doesn't cost as much to get a watermill through other gangs' territory.

If the soft doesn't work, the hard one will come. This is a common practice for all scammers when their fraudulent intentions are exposed. Hu Zhehai is no exception. He thought that if he broke down with Liu Tianming, he would shoot him indiscriminately while he was not paying attention. But when I arrived here———— I suddenly found that these outsiders were not only numerous, but also well-equipped, far exceeding their own side by several levels.

If nothing else, just looking at the heavy machine gun on the roof of the railway station is the best proof of this.

Oh, yes! Heavy machine guns.

This weapon is incredibly powerful. In addition to the roof, while Hu Zhehai was talking to Liu Tianming, the followers built temporary fortifications at the entrance of the station and erected two others.

How many heavy machine guns did they have, exactly?

For a few seconds, Hu Zhehai even had the idea that "it was not a real gun, but a model made of wood and foam".

This is probably all a pre-made fake, and now it is deliberately moved out to scare people, right?

Self-deception is one of the human nature, and when you see someone else having good qualities, you will have similar thoughts to anesthetize your brain.

Hu Zhehai quickly abandoned all kinds of unrealistic ideas.

He didn't think Mr. Liu was bluffing.

Quite simply, they took out a box of apples and ate them in front of them without any scruples.

It was an apple, a very fresh apple!
