Chapter 22: Trading with the Army
As soon as Wang Jin was busy here, several soldiers hurriedly walked over, saluted, and said, "Hello, we need to ask you for some relevant information, please cooperate." ”
"Just ask." Wang Jin knew that this was normal and could help the army understand the personnel situation in the camp. Every survivor camp of a slight size does just that.
"Name, Age, Occupation"
After some inquiry, the soldiers wrote down the information they had learned, turned around and were about to leave, but Wang Jin suddenly said: "May I ask if there are any extra brain nuclei in your army, and if so, I will exchange them for food." ”
"What do you want to do?" The soldiers were vigilant.
"Don't worry, I guess you also know that I am a mutant, and I want a brain core to improve my strength, and our brain core has been used up, so I want to ask your army if there is any excess, if there is, I can exchange it for beef, forget it."
Wang Jin's words made them relax their vigilance, and after hearing the beef, several soldiers swallowed their saliva and said, "We can't do this thing, I will inform our battalion commander." ”
"It's okay, I'm not short of time." Wang Jin knew that there was a drama when he saw them spitting and spitting.
Maybe there are mutants in the army, but the brain nucleus is not unlimited to take, some people have good physique and can take more every day, like Chen Dong can take two pills a day, these days Wang Jin gives Chen Dong a brain nucleus every day, and now his strength has increased by 20 percent, reaching 1,200 kilograms of strength, and an average of 10 kilograms of strength for one brain nucleus.
There may be a lot of zombies killed by the army along the way, but they are not like they can summon the Zerg, and as many brain cores can be consumed, so there is a good chance of having excess brain cores.
The reason why Wang Jin is so eager now is for the sake of stinging snakes, if the army's brain cores are enough, he will soon be able to summon stinging snakes.
After the soldiers left, there was a long queue on the survivors' side, and people lined up with their own dilapidated rice bowls, Lin Shibin observed for a while, ran over and said, "Brother Wang, it's the army that is distributing food." ”
"Let's go over and see." Wang Jin said, and everyone was also a little curious, and walked behind Wang Jin one after another.
I saw that in the center of the dilapidated camp, more than a dozen soldiers carried a large bucket full of gruel to the center of the camp, and more than 20 soldiers were maintaining order next to them to prevent people from cutting in line and snatching food.
Seeing the arrival of the soldiers carrying the gruel, people speed up and line up, walk forward, the soldiers will scoop a spoonful of gruel from the bucket and put it into the rice bowl, among which the elderly and children can get an extra spoonful of porridge, and the young and middle-aged people only have a spoonful.
He Youxi looked curious, and also took a bowl to line up, but when he came back, he scolded: "Damn, is this what people eat?" It's all water and no rice, how can you eat it! ”
Wang Jin looked down, and sure enough, the gruel in the rice bowl was clearly visible, and the rice grains could be counted, only a thin layer at the bottom of the bowl, and children couldn't eat enough, let alone normal people.
"I asked those soldiers, there are only two meals a day, and they are all this kind of gruel like boiled water." He Youxi looked indignant, then looked at Wang Jin and smiled: "It's better to mix with Brother Wang, eat and drink, otherwise if I want to eat this kind of gruel, how can I live!" ”
Everyone nodded in unison, yes! Without Wang Jin, their lives would not be much better than those of these survivors now, how can they not only eat enough but also have meat to eat, at this moment, everyone's recognition of Wang Jin has increased many times.
"Poor people!" Li Yue looked at the survivors with some unbearability in his eyes, and said faintly.
Wang Jin glanced back at her and said, "Now is not the time for compassion to overflow. ”
"I know, it's just uncomfortable."
He Xin patted Li Yue's shoulder and comforted: "If you want to open up, hundreds of people in Africa starved to death every day before the end of the world, and we didn't live the same, it's none of your business, and you don't need any psychological burden." ”
He Xin obviously thought of herself, thinking that if it wasn't for Wang Jin, she might be
Thinking of this, He Xin's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Wang Jin, who was inexplicable.
Back at their quarters, the mood was heavy, the lack of food had caused widespread malnutrition among the survivors, many of the children were running around the camp with their bones as they were running, and some of the sick were waiting for death with empty eyes.
There wasn't much food in the camp, let alone medicine, and hunger and sickness had always been the two scythes of death in the camp, and no one knew who would fall next.
Wang Jin can't manage so much, he doesn't have the ability to help others, Wang Jin doesn't think of himself as a savior, let alone a thankless savior.
"What are you thinking, it's time to eat." He Xin stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Wang Jin's eyes, Wang Jin came back to his senses and said, "As soon as you said that I was really hungry, let's go, let's see if your skills have improved." ”
"Hmph, my skills haven't improved, you're not gobbling up yet, if you're improving, you're not even swallowing your tongue." He Xin raised her head proudly and said with a bright face, He Xin is very confident in her cooking skills, and she thinks that she is not inferior to any chef.
"Okay, you're good." Wang Jin shook his head with a smile, walked to the dining table and picked up the rice bowl to eat, today there is his favorite sweet and sour tenderloin, Wang Jin has a great appetite, and he ate three bowls of rice in the blink of an eye.
Wang came in to eat at them, and Jardin, who was on guard in the muck cart, suddenly probed down and said, "Brother Wang, there are many survivors coming outside. ”
Wang Jin looked up, and sure enough, there were many survivors around Wang Jin, staring at the food in the hands of Wang Jin and the others without blinking, and his brows couldn't help frowning, these people should have been attracted by the fragrance of the food, so they knew that they would keep a low profile and go into the car to eat.
Seeing these survivors getting closer and closer, He Youxi snorted angrily and said, "Brother Wang, I'll go and drive them away." ”
Wang Jin nodded, He Youxi stood up and was just about to drive people away, when several soldiers suddenly came over and dispersed these survivors, the deterrent power of the soldiers was still very large, these survivors did not dare to disobey, and looked at the food in the hands of Wang Jin and the others and left reluctantly.
After dispersing the survivors, a soldier came over, and when he saw Wang Jin and the others' rich meals, his eyes were a little eager, but the soldier's self-discipline made him not look too much, and said to Wang Jin: "Mr. Wang, our battalion commander invites you to come over." ”
Wang Jin was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that the matter of the brain nucleus should have a result, and he didn't care about eating at the moment, so he said to Li Yue and the others, and hurriedly left behind the soldiers.
It didn't take long for Wang Jin to follow the soldiers, and Wang Jin came to a dense group of military tents, which should be the place where the army rested and stored supplies, there were a large number of soldiers patrolling and standing guard, and some places that looked like warehouses were set up with heavy machine guns, and the whole military camp was busy but not chaotic, and the security was tight.
In a clean tent at the back of the barracks, Wang Jin met with Xu Gang, the battalion commander he had met before.
When Wang Jin saw him, he was talking to a few soldiers, and when he saw Wang Jin coming, he greeted with a smile: "Mr. Wang is here, please take a seat!" ”
"Camp Commander Xu doesn't need to be polite, it's not the first time we've met." Wang Jin arched his hand and made it to the chair next to him.
Xu Gang commanded the soldiers a few words, and the soldiers saluted, glanced at Wang Jin strangely, and rushed out.
"I'm sorry, this battalion commander is not a good one, there are a lot of things, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." Xu Gang moved a chair, poured a cup of tea for Wang Jin, and sat opposite Wang Jin.
"Where is it, Wang has something to ask for this time, and it is only I who should forgive me, and it is estimated that I will trouble Camp Commander Xu this time."
"What's the trouble, you are the people, I am the army, and the military and the people should help each other." When Xu Gang said this, Wang Jin knew that most of the matter had been done, and this transaction should be for both sides to take what they need and get the materials they urgently need.
"Then thank you Camp Chief Xu, if this transaction is successful, Wang will never let Camp Chief Xu suffer." Wang Jin is impatient with polite words, and this is the way to get along with guests in China, and few of them are directly to the point.
When Xu Gang heard Wang Jin's words, his face showed a hint of joy, and he complained: "It's not a secret, the food in the camp is very tight now, Mr. Wang must have understood something, and even the food of my soldiers is not much different from that of the survivors."
My battalion commander deserves a lot of hardship! The government has entrusted me with the responsibility of protecting the people, but I have not been able to fulfill my responsibility, and I am really ashamed of the people, the government, and the hope of the country. ”
Wang Jin listened to it and didn't say anything, but scolded secretly in his heart, pretend to be pitiful here for me to play the family card, no way! When I saw Xu Gang's upright face before, I thought he was the kind of upright, rigid and stiff person in the movie. Only now did I realize that I was wrong, it turned out that this guy was a sanctimonious person.
Seeing Wang Jin's expressionless face, his eyes and nose, and his nose and heart looked indifferent, Xu Gang knew that the bitter meat plan had failed, his face was straight, and he said with righteousness: "However, our national army has always had an excellent tradition, not taking a single stitch from the people, our army has only one mutant, and the brain nucleus is not consumed, except for the spare one, there are 1,500 left." We don't take advantage of the common people, so we can exchange one brain core for two catties of beef. ”
"Poof!"
As soon as Wang Jin heard the price, he squirted out half of the water he drank directly, grandma's! Is this still called not taking advantage of the common people? How do you call it taking advantage! Thanks to what you said, you can exchange it for white rice at this price, or for beef, you might as well grab it directly.
Wang Jin now has only one evaluation of Xu Gang!
Black!
It's so dark! I can't catch up with it!
At that moment, Wang Jin didn't drink the tea, and said with a far-fetched smile: "The weather is good today!" It's windy and rainy, hey! Look at my memory, I forgot to collect my clothes at home, no, I have to go back to collect my clothes quickly, and I have no clothes to wear when I get wet. Wang Jin got up and wanted to leave, wanting to kill Lao Tzu in the next life.
"Can you negotiate slowly if the price is not appropriate? Don't be in a hurry to go, isn't it just clothes? I'll send someone to collect it for you. Xu Gang also knew that this price was suspected of slaughtering, and when he saw that Wang Jin was leaving, he quickly got up and grabbed Wang Jin, and at the same time said to the door: "Guard, go and help Mr. Wang collect clothes, don't be drenched in the rain." ”
"Ahh Collect, collect, collect! The guards looked up at the sunny sky, and then at the battalion commander with a serious face, blind!
"Camp Commander Xu, this price is too dark, you don't know! In order to kill this mutant cow, I killed hundreds of brothers, wasted tens of thousands of ammunition, and even my right hand was broken. ”
Isn't it just blowing? Lao Tzu will, regardless of whether it is true or not, just blow it bigger, otherwise how will it be good to lower the price.
Xu Gang looked at Wang Jin's right hand drinking freely, his face remained unchanged, but he secretly scolded the little fox in his heart, he had already learned from Yan Manyi's mouth about Wang Jin's killing of mutant cows, and hundreds of people were killed and injured? Spent more than 10,000 ammo? You're lying to a three-year-old.
Wang Jin naturally knows that Xu Gang is not so easy to deceive, and he is not wasting his tongue, anyway, his goal has been achieved, believe it or not, as long as you know that these beefs of mine are not easy to come by, the cost is very high, and the price of cabbage cannot be bought.
"For the sake of our military and civilian families, I will give your army a five-percent discount, one pound of beef for three brain cores, this is already the cost price, if it weren't for taking care of the army, I wouldn't do this loss-making business at all." Wang Jin drank tea slowly, and casually quoted a price.
This time it's Xu Gang's turn to sit still, this asking price is too ruthless, it's still 50% off, if it doesn't get a discount, the whole army can't buy a few catties of smashing pots and selling iron!
Xu Gang naturally would not agree to this price, and Wang Jin also knew that the price was inflated, so the two had another battle of words, from noon to afternoon, afternoon to evening, and finally, under the splash of saliva at the table, the negotiation that lasted for half a day and was known as the "2017 Wang Xu Tongliang Agreement" officially came to an end.
Wang Jin exchanged the price of 1,000 catties of beef for Xu Gang's 1,500 brain cores, plus five rifles and three pistols for a total of 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and finally a Hummer given by Xu Gang.
In general, both sides were happy, but Wang Jin kept chattering until the end, which was the result of the half-fold deal between the two sides, which made Xu Gang's face faintly blue.
Wang Jin smiled secretly, old fox, see if you dare to kill me!
