Chapter 154: Wasteland Commerce
The heavy RV entered the small street of the small town, and immediately attracted everyone's onlookers.
The dilapidated streets are full of the sense of dilapidation after the great destruction, and even some of the buildings that are obviously newly built seem to be gray and abrupt, without the atmosphere and brightness of modern buildings.
So Liang Yun just drove around the small city in a hurry, and he was not interested in watching it a second time, only a street that he had just passed by was obviously a commercial street, which aroused Liang Yun's interest.
However, the already small interface of the commercial street has been occupied by all kinds of stalls, and Liang Yun can't get in if he wants to.
Finally, Liang Yun found a vacant lot and parked the RV.
Then he took Hui Na and Qian Wu, who had a curious mentality, to this commercial street and began to wander around.
As for James and Obama, they were left to watch the car, Liang Yun has no illusions about the security here, but the fact is that to Liang Yun's surprise, the security here is really good.
There are regular shops on both sides of the shopping street, but there are more stalls on the ground.
The appearance of Hui Na and Qian Wu naturally attracted the attention of people on the street! However, everyone just took a few more glances with the intention of looking at the beauties, and there was no scene of robbing the people's daughters, after all, Mira City has a person like Maltai who is committed to liberating slaves with a strong sense of justice as the city lord, and the security under his rule is naturally much better, not to mention that most of the residents here used to be slaves, and they belong to the kind of people who will accept them anywhere else if they leave here, and they naturally abide by the law and order issued by Maltai, for fear of being kicked out.
Therefore, based on the above reasons, the good security of Mira City can only be regarded as a special case.
Whether it is on the stall or in the shop, the things sold are almost the same, either some bows and arrows or primitive muskets, or grain and some mushrooms.
Other than that, there are all sorts of strange things, like broken armor from some giant insect, or some strange metal plate dug out of a pre-nuclear city now in ruins.
Liang Yun even saw a few pieces of things that were obviously similar to computer chips, but unfortunately not many people in this post-nuclear wasteland world now knew this kind of thing, and they were all treated as strange items** for some people who were eager to find treasures.
That's right, this world is indeed a wasteland world, this point has been preliminarily confirmed by Liang Yun from the slaves he rescued in the past two days, and now it is even more confirmed through the ** items on this commercial street.
As for when the nuclear war broke out, people are no longer sure of it, maybe forty or fifty years ago, maybe seventy or eighty years ago, those high-ranking big people may still know the exact time, but for the little people at the bottom, it is meaningless when a nuclear war broke out, anyway, they have lived in such a world since they were born.
The fabled world of extreme abundance before the nuclear war was nothing short of mythical to them.
As for whether the whole world has been affected by a nuclear war, judging from the current situation that Liang Yun has mastered, it should have been affected, otherwise the scientific and technological level of this world would not have fallen so much, but as long as there is a place where the human knowledge system is still intact, the current human race should have rebuilt civilization.
At the very least, civilization does not regress to the level of slavery.
However, Liang Yun can't confirm this yet, so the next thing to do is to go to a bigger city and confirm this even more.
Of course, you can also ask the Martai City Lord you just met first, but with the status of that Maltai City Lord in this world, I'm afraid he really may not know these pre-war secrets.
After all, Mira City is not a particularly big city, nor is it a particularly big force, otherwise it would not have been trapped here forever.
Not to mention that Maltai was once a slave, and he was not sincerely accepted by many forces, and he probably knew even less about some of the secrets that circulated among various forces.
After shopping on the street with two beauties for a long time, Liang Yun also saw some interesting things and wanted to buy them, but he didn't have any currency on him that could be used in this world.
So Liang Yun simply set up a stall, took out some instant noodles, ham sausages, and even soap lighters and other things from the gaps in the space and sold them.
Unexpectedly, the sales were quite good, and they were quickly swept away.
Looking at the handful of worn-out coins that you make by selling things in your hand, this is the money that is commonly used in this world.
It is a coin that was excavated from the ruins of a city after the nuclear war and used before the nuclear war, but because humanity has completely lost the ability to make this coin after the nuclear war, the value of this coin has also increased greatly in the post-nuclear world.
And Liang Yun's goods can be exchanged for a large handful of these coins, which already shows that his goods are indeed sold at a good price.
After that, Liang Yun used the money in his hand to start buying all kinds of strange things, and even Hui Na and Qian Wu took a few coins from Liang Yun and bought some things that they didn't know what they were.
An unknown component that looks like an enlarged version of the pin, perhaps a component on some kind of electrical appliance before the world's nuclear war. A few meters long seemed to be javelins, and Liang Yun guessed that it might be sports equipment before the nuclear war.
Plus some of the world's specialities, all kinds of black, coarse flour, and some dried mushrooms or wild vegetables.
Of course, Liang Yun also bought two bows and arrows from this world, but unfortunately after the test shot, he found out that this thing was really difficult to get after not practicing for a while. I bought a few more primitive shattered muskets, tried the process of loading after that, and found that it was really cumbersome.
As for firearms similar to modern rifles, even firearms similar to Mauser rifles during World War I, Liang Yun could not find them for sale.
It is not that it is forbidden to buy and sell, but that there are too few of them, and each one is extremely precious, not only the gun, but also the bullet.
You must know that the rifles and bullets used in the world today are made of equipment left over from before the nuclear war, if not left over from before the nuclear war.
At present, those who can make firearms and bullets are only able to do it, and only these big forces have a small number of production lines for making firearms and bullets.
However, even the production capacity of these big forces is very limited, and in addition to meeting their own needs, there are even fewer who can take out.
