Chapter 122: A Ton of Grain

After walking through a vegetable patch firmly fenced by barbed wire, the black market became more formal as we got closer to the inner district, and the scattered small stalls disappeared in favor of small shops. Although there is still no hard currency such as food, fuel, guns and ammunition, there are many similar materials for side play.www.biquge.info

There is no food, but there are many carbonated drinks that contain sugar. Gasoline and diesel are not available, but you can buy liquefied natural gas and coal. There are no guns and ammunition, but there are cold weapons for sale.

There are also shops that specialize in "luxury" such as cigarettes and beer, and unlike the stalls selling daily necessities, they are all new and unopened, just like the shops before the catastrophe. Even if there are one or two sporadic cigarettes and alcohol sellers in the small stall in front, they are all old goods that have been dismantled a long time ago. Cigarettes are sold by roots, and there are not even more than five cigarettes of the same brand.

When they arrived at the entrance of the inner area, the security was obviously much tighter, and there were patrolmen with loaded guns everywhere, and judging by their walking posture, they should have been systematically trained.

Wei Jinhe pouted and said, "We passed by the administrative area of the detention center in front of us, and now we are about to enter the prison area." See, the wall is ten meters high, if you encounter a group of corpses, you can completely abandon the outer area and stick to the inner area, as long as the food is sufficient, it is not a problem to hold on for a month. ”

Liu Zuoyu remembered the terrifying corpse tide he had seen in the shelter, shook his head and retorted, "Impossible, if there is really a large group of corpses, this wall can't stop it at all." It's also a remote location, and if it's in the city, there won't be any bones and slag left for the Fengli hunters to eat by the corpses. ”

The guard at the entrance of the inner area shook the automatic rifle in his hand, "What are you guys doing, this is the inner area, don't go here if it's okay, be careful that the gun in my hand doesn't look long." ”

He was very polite when he said this, but it was still for the sake of Zhao Yi and the others who were more powerful. Qin Huamao and Liu Zuoyu both carried automatic rifles, and Wei Jinhe also had a pistol in his waist. Not to mention that several people are dressed neatly and cleanly, and their complexions are also good, especially Qin Huamao is wearing a military uniform, and the military temperament is obviously not fake.

Xiao Si hurriedly walked over and explained, "Brother Lin, it's me, the red-headed little four." These bosses want to buy water, so it's convenient for you to let us in. ”

Brother Lin saw that it was Xiaosi, his face softened a little, but he still said, "Lao Tzu let you do the work in the outer area because you have a little look, and Don't let your mother make trouble for Lao Tzu." Buy water and buy it at the outside trade point, and forget this rule? ”

Although the outer districts do not allow the direct sale of hard currency such as food and fuel, it is impossible for the black market to open the inner districts to all survivors, so several trading points have been set up in the outer districts. If the survivors want to buy less food and the like, they can go to the trade point and buy it from the black market officials, and of course the price is very dark.

The inner area is generally only allowed to enter with a relatively large number of survivors, and this kind of survivors are basically based on the rout squad.

Xiao Si took out a cherished cigarette from his arms, lit it and handed it over, "Brother Lin, people are big bosses, and there will definitely be no less to buy." If I only bought so much water for melons and jujubes, I wouldn't dare to trouble you, would I? ”

Brother Lin took the cigarette and took a puff, as if he remembered something, and glanced at Qin Huamao meaningfully, "It turned out to be you, let's go in." Go directly to the conference room, several bosses are waiting, and you can get water as soon as the price is negotiated. ”

After passing the checkpoint, Wei Jinhe looked confused, "What water, what water, aren't we here to see the supplies?" ”

Zhao Yi gave him and Liu Zuoyu a general explanation of the hacking of the water truck, and Liu Zuoyu said in a low voice after listening, "If they hadn't done this, I would have taken off my head." The black market grandsons don't even bother to do the work of covering up, they really don't use bean bags as dry food, thinking that we are vegetarians! ”

Qin Huamao's face was gloomy, "I'll go in by myself in a while, Advisor Zhao, you should take a walk outside first, and then you should relax." ”

Everyone knew that entering the conference room would definitely be made a lot of trouble, and Qin Huamao didn't want others to be humiliated with him. But then again, although Zhao Yi and Wei Jinhe followed the convoy, they both had their own water sources and had never used the convoy's water, so this matter really had little to do with them.

Wei Jinhe said in a low voice, "Company Commander Qin, I'd better go in with you." Today, they set up a Hongmen banquet, they must be planning to slaughter the knife, you are too straight, you can't talk about business, maybe you will suffer. ”

Liu Zuoyu glanced at him in surprise, he really didn't expect that this second-class dealer also had a time of righteousness.

Wei Jinhe felt Liu Zuoyu's gaze, "My old Wei is also an iron-clad man, affectionate and righteous, and treats money like dung, don't always think of me as a profiteer." ”

At this moment, even Zhao Yi looked at him with strange eyes, and he couldn't help but bow his head and sigh, "If the skin doesn't exist, the hair will be attached!" ”

That's right, Wei Jinhe is now tied to the convoy, and if Ji Bulian can't negotiate with the black market and has a conflict, it will definitely be difficult for him to stay out of the matter. Not to mention anything else, just with his two truckloads of supplies, without the protection of the machine and the company, it will definitely attract the covetousness of bandits and gangs.

Zhao Yi nodded, "Go ahead, I'll walk around outside." Let Zhou Li go with you, rest assured, everything is with me. ”

Wei Jinhe was overjoyed when he heard this, Zhao Yi was tantamount to directly expressing his support for them, with Zhao Datianshi's support, he still had nothing to worry about. What's more, there is Zhou Li with him, who is Zhou Li? That's the Yellow Turban Warrior, and he was the one who leveled the Daredevil Guardians in the blink of an eye.

Wei Jinhe suddenly stopped having a sore waist, no pain in his back, no cramps in his legs, and said in high spirits, "Company Commander Qin, let's go!" ”

After the expansion of the affirmative action movement in the thirties, detention centers were equipped with libraries like prisons, and the so-called conference rooms were converted from the libraries in the prison areas of the former detention centers.

Seeing Qin Huamao and Wei Jinhe enter the door of the conference room, Zhao Yi asked Xiao Si to take him and Liu Zuoyu to wander around the inner area, with Zhou Li here, he could grasp the dynamics in the conference room at any time.

The shops in the inner area were converted from the former detention center's prison warehouse, divided by thick cardboard, with a small compartment in front and a warehouse in the back, all run by black market managers. In addition to hard currency such as food, there are also some other items that will be useful in the last days. Zhao Yi alone saw commonly used medicines, industrial alcohol, chain saws, car repair tools, and so on.

According to Xiao Si, although these shops are all run by black market managers, there are still differences between them because they belong to different forces among the Fengli hunters.

"Boss, what do you want to buy? I'll take you to the prisoners' shops, which are not so black-hearted, and sell the least amount of food and the least amount of gasoline mixed with water. Xiao Si recommended.

With the mountain god seal as the backing, Zhao Yi didn't have much interest in materials, he took out a cigarette and threw it to Xiao Si, "I just broke a cigarette for you, and now I'll give you one." Is there any store here that has heaven and earth spiritual materials? Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials are those things on the federal government's special acquisition list. ”

Xiao Si hurriedly took the cigarette, and his smiling eyes couldn't see, "There is a store that specializes in collecting some strange things, if there is any heaven and earth spiritual material you said in the black market, it must be in that store, I will take you there." ”

It took a lot of time to find this shop, and there was a one-person-high white cardboard at the door of the shop, on which was written the number "Shop No. 34".

There are only a few simple shelves in the store, and there are scattered things that can only be used by certain people, such as insulin injections. The most exaggerated thing is that there is also a manual edging machine and lens box in the corner of the shelf, but judging from the dust above, although this shop has simple glasses equipment, it has little business.

Due to the peculiar shape of the edging machine, Zhao Yi couldn't help but take two more looks.

Seeing this, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup thought that Zhao Yi wanted to buy an edging machine, so she opened her mouth and said, "Fancy it?" I'll give you a real price, three hundred catties of grain, or a ton of gasoline, and you take it. ”

Xiao Si also thought that Zhao Yi wanted an edging machine, touched the cigarette on his chest, and plucked up the courage to retort, "No one will use this thing at all, why is it so expensive?" ”

Middle-aged women are used to slaughtering people in the black market, and when they saw that Xiao Si dared to help outsiders bargain for such a job, her face changed, and she shook her hand and gave Xiao Si a mouthful, "What are you, you dare to talk back to me!" I don't understand the rules at all, do you have a part in speaking here? ”

After speaking, she said to Zhao Yi, "Two hundred and seventy catties of grain, or a thousand liters of gasoline, can't be cheaper." ”

Liu Zuoyu was furious and was about to kick over, "He's still a child, but if I tell you a price, you will also do this kind of death!" ”

Xiao Si's face was already swollen by a finger, but he didn't care about the pain, he just hugged Liu Zuoyu, "Boss, boss, my slap can be cheaper by thirty catties of food, we have earned it, don't do it, don't do it!" ”

Xiao Si knew that this middle-aged woman would never move, and if she could guard a shop in the inner district, she must have all kinds of relationships with the big and small leaders of the Fengli Hunters. Hitting her is equivalent to moving the face of the black market, the last time the rout team was hung at the door for a full week, it was a rout team with seven or eight guns.

Besides, what does it matter if you get slapped yourself, you can get better in a few days, is it better to be beaten less? It's not just a matter of 30 catties of food cheaper, but I go back and persuade the boss that I must buy it with gasoline. One ton of gasoline is about 1,355 liters, and I can help the two bosses save more than 300 liters of gasoline.

The middle-aged woman looked at Liu Zuoyu coldly, "This little man is still a good acquaintance, you don't inquire, when did the inner district negotiate the price with someone, do you know whose business it is?" ”

Zhao Yi didn't answer her words, and said directly, "A ton of grain." ”

The middle-aged woman thought she had heard it wrong, or Zhao Yi was stupid, how could any buyer raise the price by herself, "What did you say?" You give me a ton of grain to buy this edging machine? ”

"It's not me for you, it's you for this little brother." Zhao Yi's eyes were as cold as a knife, "Anyway, he always came in with me, and it was also for me to pay the price." You beat him, should you give me an explanation? ”
