Chapter 18 Commercial Street
After eating the last bit of multigrain cake, Yang Yi chose a well-fitting set from the previous owner's wardrobe of this house and put it on, and then took a few gold rings and went out.
The sun was close to noon, and it was very spicy.
Walking on the street, Yang also looked around. He used to live in a shantytown, and Yang rarely came here, so he was not familiar with it. What's more, there are patrolmen who belong to the settlement, and the people in the shantytowns are not treated very well here.
The streets were almost closed when they were lined with shops.
In the last days, the circulation of goods almost came to a standstill, and the shops had long lost their meaning.
Of course, there are exceptions, and this is the commercial street that belongs to the settlement. The shopping street was established by the local authorities and functioned as a bazaar. In the shopping street, you can see all kinds of things, from food to clothing, and ...... Along with weapons and so on.
Yang Yi has only been there once, a long time ago, and he is not impressed.
When choosing a house, Yang Yi had already considered this problem, so his current residence is not far from this commercial street.
Across two streets, shouts and shouts came out from each other, changing the desertion of the first two streets.
Stepping into this area will make you suspect that this is not the end of the world, but the same as before, walking into a lively commercial market. Yang Yi is no exception, he is in a trance, just like going to the night market with a group of classmates in his college career.
It was Yang Yi who was dissolved into it, and he was also a little excited, and when he saw this scene, he had a feeling of living in human society.
In the commercial street, the shouting of each other is so cordial to the ears.
"Coming soon, the authentic sneakers and sportswear in the Anta store are all available, the price is cheap, and you can choose from a pound of food."
"Want to keep men's hearts? Chanel Super Eau de Parfum helps you achieve it, a must-have for women. ”
"Gasoline, a liter only needs a pound of food."
"Come on, come on, it's a big sale......"
Weird selling content, some very practical, some very fancy. And most of these commodities are harvests from hunting outside. Everyone wants to grab food, but there is only so much food, and it has already been started first. The only way to do this is to take some of the things that the settlement needs and use them in exchange for food.
Perfumes, like them, are very popular in settlements.
A lot of women are in exchange for a bottle of perfume, but in exchange for life-saving food. Without him, in the last days, the status of women is very low, and their ability to survive outside is also very poor, and they have to use their beauty and body to rely on some powerful men in exchange for their living space.
And the gasoline category, for some groups, is especially important, without it, the car is a pile of scrap metal.
In short, the items that can be sold here are born in response to the market demand.
Yang also walked among them, and the shops on both sides of the street were open, but there were very few things inside. In front of the shops, on both sides of the street, there are a large number of small street stalls. Usually the people who set up the stalls, some of them are like vendors, maybe they have something to sell today, and tomorrow the day after tomorrow they will die down with no gain.
The last days are characterized by many people who sell and few people who buy.
There aren't many people walking around here, and it's a bit deserted overall.
The main reason for this situation is that the hunting team has set off today, and it is a time period when business on the shopping street is cold. As long as you wait until the evening, it will come alive in no time. A large number of survivors returned, carrying large quantities of the harvest, either to sell or barter, or to have food in their hands that could be used to buy what they needed.
In the settlements, gold was not the first currency in circulation, but grain.
Prosperous antiques, troubled gold.
This principle, in the last days, gold can only be ranked behind food, after all, people must first be full, hungry, what if you have more gold?
After walking in the commercial street for a while, Yang Yi's eyes were naturally focused on his goal.
A weapon that can be used easily by the zombie clone will increase the clone's combat effectiveness by at least one notch. The nails of the clone are sharp, but in terms of hardness and so on, they are far inferior to real weapons. It's not too much of a problem to deal with ordinary zombies, but what about when facing the same evolutionary?
Be prepared, as Yang has always been.
Halfway through, Yang Yi suddenly squatted down in one of the stalls.
The stall was set up by a middle-aged man, and he was not selling, but the old god was sitting on the ground. On his stall, there are only two items.
An ugly-looking semi-automatic rifle, somewhat like one in the AK series, which Yang Yi, who is not very familiar with the gun, does not recognize. On the side of the semi-automatic rifle is an imitation 54 pistol, the body of which shows traces of polishing, revealing a metallic luster.
"Guns are so popular, there is no need for sales at all, no wonder they are so calm."
As long as it's a man, you'll be fascinated by guns, not to mention that it's still the end of the world, and having a gun is like adding several layers of insurance to yourself.
Yang Yi was the same, he squatted down, and did not reach out to pick it up, but pointed to the semi-automatic rifle and asked, "Boss, how can this gun be sold?" ”
The middle-aged boss glanced at Yang Yi and said, "500 catties of rice." ”
This price suddenly startled Yang Yi, what is the concept of 500 catties of rice in the last days? Just this gun is worth so much? 500 pounds in peacetime, even one-fifth of this gun must have been bought. But now is the end of the world, the value of 500 catties is infinitely magnified, and the value is more than 100 times that of peacetime.
"So expensive?" Yang was dumbfounded.
The middle-aged boss's eyes glared: "Expensive, you know that this gun is polished by hand little by little, and only one can be made in a month." ”
Yang was also a little moved, but seeing that this gun was so ugly, he said: "It's so ugly, will it be a defective product." ”
"Hahahaha!" The middle-aged boss smiled strangely: "Boy, what do you know, do you really think that the appearance of the gun is very important?" Tell you, as long as the gun is solid and durable, it is a good gun, and what is the use of you paying attention to the appearance and making it fancy. What era is it now, the key is that you can kill dead zombies, and it makes sense. ”
This sounded very reasonable, and Yang Yi was even more excited, but he thought that he couldn't take out 500 catties of rice at all, like a deflated ball.
On the other hand, now Yang is also looking for a suitable weapon for the zombie clone, even if he really buys a rifle, but with the current flexibility of the clone, it is impossible to use it. What's more, for the doppelganger, the role of cold weapons is not known to be much greater than that of rifles.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi stood up with a smile and continued to walk forward.
……
On a small branch of the high street, the sound of grinding and clanging could be heard inside.
Yang Yi stood here, his eyes lit up, and then walked in.
I saw that there were various workbenches of different specifications here, which were piled up with some various metals, and a large number of tools were placed everywhere. Dozens of people are busy here, subdivided into small stalls, building cold weapons.
Seeing Yang Yi walk in, several clever young men surrounded him: "Boss, what kind of weapons do you need to build?" ”
(It's a new week, can the recommended votes be a little stronger?) Please, everyone! )
