Chapter 18: A Piece of Treasure

Pushing the wheelbarrow, Ma Haoran looked at the huge city in front of him, a little dazed.

"Don't be stuck at the intersection, if you want to see, there is time for you to see it, and it's no problem to see enough."

The soldiers began to drive people inside. There are always homeless people who come to the city. Although it has only been a few decades, it seems that everyone has forgotten the appearance of high-rise buildings, wandering in the wild, simple houses built by hand, huge beasts, and pervasive plants, it seems that it has become the norm.

Those who survived the pre-war era seem to remember what true civilization looked like, while their descendants, even if educated, seem to be sluggish and forgotten in the face of the miracles of the human past.

Rushing into Area C, the soldiers didn't bother to care, although Area C has the largest population in the area, but the soldiers didn't have any idea about these people. If you are lucky, you will be able to enter Area C further, and if you are unlucky, you will naturally die in the wilderness. Someone comes every month, someone leaves. Life and death are used to it, and so is flow. Few lucky people can do anything to the top.

"Take a look, there is gold in the wilderness, everything depends on luck, everything depends on hands, his luck is your luck, his today is your future. It's not a dream to enter Zone B, there's a blue sky in Zone A! ”

Generally speaking, there is little interest in these people in Area C, and people in Area B may be driven out of Area C empty-handed, so they naturally have to work hard to maintain their wealth and have little leisure. If you really have leisure, you'd rather go to the trading area. However, Song Yixue is the one who often comes here to recruit people who are scavenging outside.

Because of Song Yixue's successful example, their family's waste picking group is indeed relatively successful among the major groups. The most people can be recruited. The people of various groups pushed and shoved, and a secret war was launched at the city gate. Compared with the club recruitment that began in the new semester of various universities before the war, the scavengers with various grievances will directly start the film, and the scene is extremely hot.

"Song Chenggou, what are you doing!" Sometimes the scene is too hot, and the soldiers have to come out to manage it. The leader of the sentry pulled the bolt of his gun, and the scavenging team that was in a mess immediately separated, and each sorted out the crowd. The largest group of people ran out of a goatee that nodded and hated, "Hey, it's Brother Hu on duty today, we've made a big pen these days, or ......"

Brother Hu waved his hand, "Lao Tzu doesn't need your filial piety, clean up your people, don't make trouble at the door, otherwise Lao Tzu will eat and hang up, and you won't be able to get any benefits." ”

"Okay, everyone listens, they all disperse, they all scatter, pull people according to their abilities, don't make a fuss like chasing dogs. Song Buting, Song Shangyin, the two of you have gathered the team for me, do you want to be civilized, the boss is a person who often goes in and out of Area A, and you are not allowed to embarrass the boss. ”

"Yes!" After the two short men agreed, they immediately sorted out the crowd, and the largest group of people died down, and the others naturally did not dare to continue to make trouble. Looking at the discipline shown by this group of people, there were already seven or eight people who looked at the intention and went to the door by themselves.

Brother Hu looked at these people, his eyes were full of pity. Scavengers are the least barrier-to-entry and least secure profession in the city. Most of the disabled beggars gathered in the corners of the trading area are scavengers who have been plotted by their own people. If you are lucky, you can climb back and live by begging, and if you are unlucky, you can only lie down in the wilderness silently.

As a more veteran warrior, he had seen scavengers come back with injuries and complain to the sentries, but there was no response. Because that's what the world is now. Only when the value is equal can there be justice. And these scavengers are not necessarily just simple poor people, who can pick up not only garbage but also corpses in the wild. Living people who are invisible to others can also be turned into corpses, and it is all too common for scavengers to work part-time to do some robbery. When you see a lot, you get used to it.

Brother Hu looked in his pocket, and there were not many tobacco leaves left, so he had to save a fire.

At this time, Ma Haoran pushed his car, and once someone approached him, he was like a frightened little animal, avoiding all eyes and sights, until he left the chaotic door far away and entered the depths.

In the chaotic and irregular houses in Area C, some numb-eyed people cast a glance at them and then did not move. Most people don't even bother to come to the door, unless it is the day of the territory beans to have the strength to do activities, and the rest of the time to minimize their physical exertion is true. Then rack your brains to get water that can sustain your life. It really doesn't work, even the mutated plants and polluted water everywhere have to be tried. There is not much interest in other people, and everyone is rushing for their own survival.

Avoiding the sight of others, I found a dilapidated house at random. With one kick, he kicked open the crumbling door and tilted his little broken car to the side, scattering his luggage on the ground. Close the door carefully. After glancing at the room where there was nothing, Ma Haoran carefully began to disassemble things from the car. Carefully unwrapping a wooden box, carrying it in his arms, he went out to inquire about the location of the trading area.

At this time, the trading area is much more lively than usual. The talent of the team began a large-scale campaign. Well-informed people have already set their sights on these people, waiting to get something out of them. However, the people in the convoy also traveled from south to north, and they were more and more wide-sighted. A dark battle of bargaining is going on in the streets.

Xu Jierui, the second leader of the team, led a group of subordinates to dangle on the road, with an impatient face, as the veteran of the team. Basically, he basically knows what benefits he can get from every time he buys and sells, and how much oil and water he can get from it, and this kind of funny thing in the trading market is whimsical in his eyes. Valuable things are naturally recognized by valuable people. The shops in the trading area are either owned by New Chang'an, or they are related to the eldest sister. And the things on the stalls, picked up by the three sects and ninth-rate people, even if they are really good things, they don't have the ability to deal with them. And the team's ability to deal with these things is not as good as that of large cities, and in most cases they have to find the eldest sister to cooperate.

In Xu Jierui's eyes, as the leader of the team, Zheng Zhi should be going to have a relationship with the black clinic, and the gene injections produced by the black clinic are sky-high no matter where they are sold. Unless it's somewhere that's legendary for them. If you can get more supplies from the black clinic, it completely outweighs the point of wasting time here.

But the only person who can contact the people in the black clinic is Zheng Zhi himself, Xu Jierui is now thinking about whether he can develop other contact methods, after all, for the team, even a backup is good.

This is what Xu Jierui said to himself. As for whether there are selfish distractions in it, I don't know. It is completely impossible to forcibly break into Area A of the new Chang'an, unless you want to be beaten into a sieve by machine guns. The vast majority of transactions in Area A have the staff under the head of the eldest sister to keep accounts and transit. Most of the professionals in Zone A are well suited to this kind of life. It's a condition that even the team can't give. The city and the fleet need each other, but the city has something that the fleet can't give.

For the trading area, a fat man with two strings of guards walked the streets of the trading area with no less arrogance than the traffic blockade of the convoy before the war. Of course, most people have the eyesight to stand in the way of such people, and the person who can make the patrol guards turn a blind eye must be the big man. Little people don't want to go outside. Therefore, every street and alley Xu Jierui went to had the effect of dispersing the crowd. This time, however, it seems that something unexpected has happened.

Ma Haoran fled. Before entering the city, there were countless reveries about the city, where there was clean water, endless food, and a clear blue sky. These thoughts were shattered before entering the city, but the physical examination and medical treatment before entering the city led to some other unrealistic ideas. Then listen to the soldiers' nonsense about Area A and the trading area before entering the city. He had some unrealistic ideas about the "baby" in his arms.

In short, he made a whimsical offer, and offered to help send him into Area A to the person who could only mingle in Area B at most, and after careful consideration, the other party also came up with a plan with the lowest cost, that is, to kill people and rob him.

Unexpectedly, Ma Haoran, who also needed to continue to run for his life when he arrived in the city, fled with a gray face. In a panic, he broke into front of Xu Jierui. His bodyguards frowned. Go up and grab this guy. Ma Haoran's first reaction was to grab his "baby" and reach out to break the bodyguard's hand. The bodyguard flew over with a slap, and Ma Haoran's head was three bigger, and a wooden box flew out of his arms.

The lid of the wooden box fell to the ground and opened, revealing a silvery white. Ma Haoran saw his "baby" get out of his hand, and he didn't know where the strength came from, he broke free from the bodyguard's hand, and threw himself on the top of the box and covered it tightly.

Seeing this, the guy chasing after him also pounced, Ma Haoran protected the box with one hand and resisted the other party with the other. In the midst of the confusion, the two of them felt that their heads suddenly felt dark, as if the light was obscured by something.

The two looked up in confusion, and they were already surrounded by more than a dozen people. As soon as Xu Jierui stretched out his hand, his bodyguards had already snatched the box from Ma Haoran's hand and sent it to Xu Jierui.

The box is in hand, which is a bit weighty. Xu Jierui opened the box, and the silver-white metal ingots, mostly stainless steel, could be forged and molded into parts to repair vehicles or other equipment. However, it was not a scarce item to him. Look down at Ma Haoran.

"This is your thing? Make a price, and I'll take it if it's suitable. ”
