In Yaji's guesses and thoughts, the off-road vehicle had already left the primeval forest where the deserted village was located, and bumped in the bumpy gravel road for more than an hour before entering Shama City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shama City is close to Guinea Bay, with fresh air, abundant products, and a relatively favorable trading environment, if it were not for the large-scale outbreak of zombies, it may have developed into an important port in black Africa. Unfortunately, since the first zombie apocalypse, many towns in Africa have been severely affected by the lack of management, and many small towns have lost their population, and their vitality has been greatly damaged, and at the moment of the second zombie outbreak, the whole of Africa has become a hard-hit area, and the survivors have moved out in large numbers to take refuge, leaving only the old and weak to live here, so it is becoming more and more desolate and dilapidated.

Fortunately, the alliance army has not given up its determination to regain lost territory, especially in a town like Shama City, which is located on the edge of the continent, which is an important stronghold for attacking the interior and clearing out zombies, and there are often cruising fleets in the Western Theater of Operations to dock here to replenish both armament and life, so overall, the supplies here are reasonable, at least some of the simple electrical components that Marven wants can be found in the large open-air square in the middle of the city.

When I entered the city, the time was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no doubt that this purchase would definitely not end smoothly in two or three hours, so Marven drove directly to an express hotel, opened three single rooms in it, and settled down simply, and then didn't say anything to eat first, took Wu Ming and Yaji and started shopping directly. Wu Ming glanced at it, and Marven's electronic notebook was densely written, and he really planned to fill the four travel bags that he and Yaji were carrying.

But the task of this trip is just procurement?

Wu Ming never thinks so. He knew that Furukawa must have his intentions, and as the blind man had said before leaving, he would figure it out.

In fact, for Wu Ming, this can be called the first contact with the world in the true sense. Before this, he had indeed wandered around in Relusa, but it was somewhat different, because when it came to buying and selling, or communicating with ordinary people, most of them were done by Titer or some other subordinate, and he was more just sitting back and enjoying the results.

Although Wu Ming felt that it was not a difficult task, he also had to admit that he still had obvious shortcomings in this regard, after all, in the world he lived in, there was never a chance for similar exchanges.

For example, Wu Ming couldn't imagine that the fat aunt who sold electrical switches would double the price, and after Marven paid off the payment for 200 goods, she would also give a basket of dates with a smile; For example, the boy who sold the flashlight would follow him out of two streets without reluctance when he learned that his goods were not needed, until the miserable Yaji bought three light bulbs and jumped away happily; Another example is that the lame black brother only limped through more than 30 stalls because Wu Ming gave him half a loaf of bread, until he sent a few people to the largest hardware store, and then left satisfied......

Wu Ming felt that these were very interesting, more real than he imagined, and more vivid than the knowledge instilled in his mind - it turned out that this was the world, and these were normal human beings.

The travel bag became heavy, each bag of electrical appliances was thirty kilograms, not counting the basket of dates, avocados and half a dozen hams dragged behind him, but Wu Ming's heart was much lighter, because he felt that he had figured it out, and that was probably what Furukawa meant.

Marven kept shaking his head, complaining about Yaji's self-determination: "I have the final say on what we want to buy, okay?" If you continue like this, before we can buy the most important goods, the whole car will be blown up. ”

Yaji stopped in front of the barbecue stall in a way that went his own way: "It's so easy to come out, even if it's a coolie, you have to be considerate, right?" What's more, I didn't spend yours, it was my private money. He asked for three pieces of burnt sausage, and generously gave one to Marven, but when he arrived at Wu Ming, he replaced it with a small piece of pineapple: "Dude, seriously, you don't know how many delicacies you will miss in your life." Why don't you look away? Going vegetarian will never keep your cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health until you are 80 years old. ”

Wu Ming even refused pineapple: "That has nothing to do with health, I'm just a little allergic to meat, I think you should be able to understand ...... reason" Speaking of this, he asked Marven: "I don't know what you understand about Furukawa's picky eater?" ”

Marven frowned: "It's just a personal habit, and we respect it." ”

"That's not what Tu Lu said," Wu Ming heard that Marven was hiding something, and wanted to test a thing or two, "He seems to have some kind of disease, right?" ”

Marven's expression was obviously not very happy: "My profession is a mechanic, not a doctor, and I am not so gossipy, and I am never happy to inquire about personal privacy." ”

Wu Ming gave up trying: "Okay...... Now that our travel bags are full, I guess it's time for us to go back first, right? As you said, our off-road is going to be blown up. ”

"We'll have to wait." Marven regained his inherent coldness, "Look at the time, there is still a market we have to go again." ”

"Just today? Right now? Yaji's face tightened, "I'm not mentally prepared yet, man, can you allow us to send the things back first, I'm afraid it's better to travel light, right?" ”

Marven smiled coldly: "We just go to procure, and there will be no problem like this." ”

Yagi kept her mouth shut, clearly thinking about what to do with the basket full of food. Wu Ming was a little confused, and asked beside him: "We have obviously traveled all over here, how can there be any other market?" ”

Marven looked over expressionlessly: "This is a normal market, and all that can be bought are normal parts, but people with special needs like us sometimes have to go to an abnormal market to be satisfied." ”

"Abnormal market ......" Wu Ming still looked puzzled.

"That's the black market." Yaji reminded in a suppressed voice, "Dude, don't you have such words in your head?" Brother Marven said it too elegantly, I should say that outlaws like us must always deal with those black-hearted traders who always like to play tricks. I advise you to be careful, those guys are not easy to mess with, maybe they will find out that the two of us are multimillionaires, and they will have to kidnap us. ”

Wu Ming smiled faintly: "Then I don't have to worry, because that multimillionaire is you, but I am penniless." He asked Marven again: "Can I think so, what we are carrying in our hands now is just a cover, and the things we really need have not yet arrived." ”

"It's true that I can make these things myself, but it's a bit more cumbersome and takes unnecessary time." Marven smiled wryly, "But I don't think it's unnecessary, especially for you, it's actually very necessary." ”

Wu Ming sighed. Marven's implication, he heard it clearly. As Wu Ming had thought before, these steps were just Furukawa's request so that he, an outsider, could become more familiar with this world. But just for this intention, he has to be tired, Wu Ming feels that it is really a bit ridiculous-just say no, his understanding ability is not necessarily how bad, right?

But Wu Ming's reaction Marven ignored it, just looked around a few times, turned to take a step, and walked straight to a two-story building on the west side of the market. The heavy travel bag was carried by the two attendants in the back, and he was relaxed.

There were obviously fewer stalls passing by, and the few stall owners were all sideways and had some fierce expressions in their expressions, some were chewing straw sticks, some were squinting at the three visitors, and a lean black man with hundreds of colorful braids on his head was pinned to his waist.

"Don't go any further!" The pigtail spat out thick phlegm and landed exactly in front of Marven's feet, "The Black Skin Market has long been closed, and it doesn't accept anyone now." ”

Marven turned his face and glanced at the guy, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant: "I have never heard of this news." ”

"Didn't I tell you?" The pigtails walked up and blocked Marven's in front of him, but he was too short, and the braid with the tallest braid was only up to Marven's chin.

"This is a bit difficult...... "Marven turned his head to look at Wu Ming in embarrassment, "If it closes, it means that our day will be completely wasted." What to do now, any suggestions? ”

Wu Ming couldn't figure out why Marven would send the problem over at this time, did he plan to co-star in a good show? In the absence of rehearsals in advance, Wu Ming didn't think he could cooperate well.

"Do you suggest...... Then we'll go back. Wu Ming tried to deal with it, "Anyway, if you have money, you're not afraid that you won't be able to buy things, so it's a big deal to wait for two more days......"

Marven shook his head: "It's never about money, it's about sincerity." You must be able to see that this friend in front of you is a clear-eyed man, and since this is the case, we have nothing to hide, so let's take it out and let him see if we bring enough sincerity. ”

Wu Ming was completely confused, if he hadn't seen Marven's eyes, he would have almost opened his mouth to ask. "Sincerity, yes, sincerity......" He rummaged up and down in his pocket, and suddenly touched a hard object, and his eyes instantly froze, "This sincerity...... I think that's enough, right? ”

Wu Ming took out the thing, held it in his hand, and clearly placed it in front of everyone.
