Chapter 90: Everything Can Be Traded
On Baffin Island, the sun always feels like it's not enough. It seems that only at noon can you feel a trace of warmth, thawing people from the eternal snow and ice.
The vigorous red sun engulfed the magnificent Syracuse, and the soldiers standing guard at the top of the wall of the Syracuse were like a straight javelin, giving people awe and sound. When walking in the shadow of the sun, Su Qian felt particularly cold, just like all sunlight has shadows, then the shadows in the wind and snow are only bone-chilling, Peter next to him handed him a bottle of wine and patted him on the shoulder proudly.
"I really didn't expect you to be Su Qian, I heard a lot of your stories two days ago."
"Doom...... Well, a lot of the stories are exaggerated. ”
"Then are you really facing thousands of zombies on the Toronto Tower?"
"Not alone...... I still have my comrades behind me. ”
"Did you end up bravely sacrificing yourself to jump into Lake Ontario in order to save the entire helicopter?"
“…… Well, in fact, I am also running for my life. ”
Su Qian's forehead was sweating slightly, and now in such a situation, everyone has almost no entertainment life. The only fun is probably to find someone to brag and nag. In the chaos of war, the hero's story is always the most sought after, and with people's rendering, the story can sometimes go in strange directions, such as:
"Actually, I have a bit of a personal question, there are rumors that you jumped off Lake Ontario at the time, and your love and you were both martyred because you threw a box of Durex...... What's the special meaning of that box of Durex, is it your amorous nature, or is it ......" Peter immediately showed an expression that all men understood.
Su Qian was stunned, and cold sweat began to break out on his head. What does this mean, dear? Martyrdom? It is also a temperamental object. Get rid of the big brother, can you pay attention to the occasion when you speak, the love of your mouth is behind us now. Su Qian didn't dare to look back at An Jie's expression now, he only felt ...... There's a murderous aura in the back!
"Rumors, all rumors...... You know that there is such a thing as a story, and it tastes bad when it is passed on. ”
"Haha, that's true, but I still like tragic love stories...... Come on, here we are. ”
Peter took Su Qian's three people and the other survivors who chose to stay in a corner to the east of the military base, this is the edge of the city wall, basically because the tall city wall blocks the sunlight, there are many strange-shaped igloos built against the city wall, and many people can be seen walking around far and near, some of them are Su Qian, they also saw it when they were distributing food just now.
"Let's go, that's where I live, well, that's the house over there."
Looking in the direction of Peter's finger, it was one of the larger igloos, and it seemed to be a good treatment for a bachelor like Peter to live in such a big room, because Su Qian had just seen three or four people coming out of a small igloo.
When the people around him saw Peter, they all greeted him warmly.
"Hey, Kraft, come over here and lead these newcomers to build their own igloos." Peter shouted to some short, middle-aged men in the distance.
The middle-aged man named Kraft was short and short, he looked to be only 1.6 meters at most, with a big beard on his face, and he was wearing an animal skin on his body that looked indescribably weird, making people feel that they had seen a dwarf coming out of the movie world.
"Hey, this is Kraft, a true Quebec Eskimo, and he'll teach you how to build an igloo, and of course you can trade your own food for living with other people, or a few people to work with...... But there is one thing, and I must make it clear, that any transaction here is allowed, but this qiē must be on a voluntary basis. If there is a dispute, you can come directly to me, and there will be an arbitration team to mediate for you! Private violence is absolutely forbidden! ”
Su Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this, he originally thought that these abandoners would be as chaotic as the slums they once were, but he didn't expect a set of systems that they had evolved...... Free to trade? Prohibition of private violence? Or even an arbitration team?
Although talking about violence free in such a place is almost a measure to cover up and steal the bell, after all, with clear regulations, the behavior of some evil people will be restricted, which is like if there is no law, I don't know how much crime in this world will increase. It is a pity that the law only applies to the peace, and the rules of troubled times can only be more effective if they are simpler.
"Hey, little cubs, hide your luggage, there's no Santa Claus giving you presents, just ice mice who love to burrow." Kraft was a hearty man, rubbing his hands and continuing to shout, "If any of you can serve more than two meals, I can exchange it for an open igloo." ”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously covered their backpacks, even including little Jerry, who had been pulling Su Qian's trouser legs since just now, and subconsciously protected his backpack with his little hands.
"Hey, Kraft, are you starting to pit newcomers again? Newcomers, I can share the igloo with you as long as I have a meal of food, don't listen to Kraft's fools, the cold loneliness of living alone in an igloo is the hardest to bear. A white man who looked quite strong next to him shouted, and the other people around him also cast their eyes, which made Su Qian feel that the new survivors were more like a newly introduced batch of goods, waiting to be divided by others.
"Oh, Luke, whoever does business with you profiteer is really stupid." Kraft immediately shot back.
Finally, Peter stepped forward to stop the boiling situation, "Kraft, you take them to make the igloo first, and the rest of the people, take good care of your package." That will be your most valuable asset for the time to come. Remember what I said, you can do any deal here, but it's best to follow the rules here and write the agreement...... These Krafts will teach you the same. ”
"I hope you can adapt and fit in here, welcome to the base of Baffin Island, the corner, and welcome to become ......''''Deserter'!"
"Oh......"
The crowd around them cheered in agreement, and all the survivors, except for Su Qian, were taken away by the Eskimo named Kraft.
"Okay, Su Qian, you come with me. If you don't like it, come and sit at my house first. Peter graciously extended the invitation.
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
Before coming to the snow room, a figure came out of the low door of the snow room, it was a woman in a thick military coat, her face was very fair, and her appearance was quite eye-catching. His gaze first swept over Su Qian's three people, especially An Jie's body for a while longer, before nodding to Peter: "I'll go first." Peter waved his hand at her.
"Your wife?"
"No, it's just a deal."
Peter. Blair, the leader of the 'Forsakens' who is known as the leader of the Survivor Base, gently patted Su Qian's shoulder, and he smiled like a demon who seduced humans to trade souls, and even his voice was full of bewitchment.
"As I said earlier, you can trade anything...... And, of course, **. ”
