Chapter 536: Bullets for Food - Trapped
。 Mu Yuan was not stupid enough to ask what "messing around" was, and the consequences of "messing around" - he honestly took off his helmet, took off his gloves, and gave them back to a young man next to him, and then put on his clothes.
As soon as he touched his pocket, the bullet was still there.
This bullet was found by Wang Lu, and after analysis, the two believed that a foreign homeless man fled to a survivor settlement, and he should always bring something valuable, and in the last days, bullets and food are undoubtedly the most precious, but food is inconvenient to carry, or bullets are good. This was especially true when Wang Lu observed that the sentries on the village wall were armed with firearms.
But Mu Yuan didn't expect that although those sentries acted rudely, they didn't snatch his bullets.
After Wang Lu got up, he said respectfully to the person next to him: "This master, where can I find food?" ”
The man didn't deliberately embarrass him, an outsider, and pointed with his hand: "Do you see the sign of the senior center?" Get there and find what you need. ”
Mu Yuan carefully lowered the high wall, he looked at this village, this village has obviously passed the rural urbanization transformation, it is not so much a village, it is more a community, the houses are all villa-style, and there are figures shaking in it from time to time.
Mu Yuan walked towards the sign hanging the elderly activity center, and paid attention to it, after he entered the village, he had already seen more than 20 people, including women and children, this settlement is not much worse than Yashan.
There was a thick cotton curtain hanging at the door of the senior activity center, and as soon as Mu Yuan opened the curtain, a wave of heat came to his face, followed by noisy voices.
Mu Yuan saw that the senior activity center was like a small restaurant, with a stove room in the innermost part, tables and chairs outside, and a warm stove in the middle of the room, on which a pot of water was resting, and it was steaming.
It was evening. It was time to eat, and most of the seats in the restaurant were full of people, who were eating, and saw outsiders coming in at the door. They all turned their faces.
Being stared at by so many people, Mu Yuan was a little uncomfortable, and he bent over to everyone, but everyone just glanced at him, and turned around to eat and drink.
Mu Yuan was stunned, found an empty table and sat down, fortunately. Soon someone came to greet him.
A round-faced girl wearing an apron walked over: "You are the survivor who was just rescued by Da Liu and them, right?" ”
Mu Yuan didn't expect that the sentry on the wall had already notified this place so quickly, and Shi You was through the walkie-talkie, and he muttered, "Yes." ”
The round-faced girl smiled: "Da Liu, they stripped you naked, right?" It's okay, the survivors who come to the village will be examined like this, and the fortress will inform that the zombies are becoming more and more cunning now, and some of them will even disguise themselves as humans to sneak into the settlement, so any outsiders will be examined in this way. ”
Fortress! Sure enough, this survivor settlement was connected to the fortress. It seems that this time the risk on your own is well worth it.
Mu Yuan immediately snorted: "Oh, it's a warning from the fortress." He added stiffly: "I've always been out there by myself, and I've only heard of the fort." Haven't dealt with them yet. ”
The round-faced girl said: "You are also bold, do you have special abilities, there are not many people who are alone now." ”
Mu Yuan shook his head: "I don't have any special abilities, it's just that I'm lucky, hiding from zombies to make a living." ”
The round-faced girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "I said, then you just stay in our village, and don't run around alone." Although our village is not as connected to electricity as some villages, it is no better to eat and drink than to fool around alone. ”
Mu Yuan didn't expect this round-faced girl to be matched so quickly, thinking that she was familiar with this matter. But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully, the most valuable thing now is manpower, and a man like Mu Yuan, who is five big and three thick, is popular everywhere. …,
Mu Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you, eldest sister, it's just that I've been looking for the lost family." "This excuse. It was also thought out by Wang Lu and Mu Yuan in advance, after all, no sane person would wander around when there were zombies, looking for a lost family member was a reason that seemed relatively normal, and this could make Mu Yuan appear to be affectionate and righteous, and it could add a lot of impression points and favorability.
Don't say it, this set does work, the round-faced girl immediately looked at Mu Yuan sympathetically: "Alas, it's not that I said something discouraged, these days, it is not more difficult to find a lost relative than looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
Mu Yuan smiled bitterly: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." In the past, Mu Yuan couldn't be said to kill Mu Yuan with these words, but during this time, he followed Wang Lu, an actor, and learned some of the style of literary and artistic youth.
The round-faced girl sighed and then remembered her serious life: "What do you want to eat?" ”
Mu Yuan muttered tentatively, "Is it free to eat here?" ”
The round-faced girl smiled and said, "How is it possible." If you settle down in our village, you can eat and drink for free, but now of course you have to pay. ”
Mu Yuan asked, "What do you exchange for?" "He's not stupid enough to ask how much it costs.
The round-faced girl asked, "What do you have in exchange for something?" ”
Mu Yuan took out a handful of bullets from his pocket.
The round-faced girl took a look: "This bullet used to be able to change some things, but since the fortress supplied ammunition, it is not as tight as before." That's it, I won't take advantage of you, how about two bullets for a bowl of rice? ”
Mu Yuan nodded.
The round-faced girl took the bullet by herself, and after a while, she served a bowl of rice, Mu Yuan looked down, but it was a bowl of sweet potato rice, and sweet potatoes accounted for more than half of it.
While eating, Mu Yuan pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation on the table next to him, and listened to it for a long time, but he didn't gain anything, and the topic of everyone was nothing more than killing a few zombies yesterday, the greenhouse in the field was crushed by the snow, and the wild dogs outside were more and so on.
There is no such thing as a fortress or a vaccine research base.
Mu Yuan frowned, this is not a good sign, if there is really a vaccine, this will definitely be the central topic of everyone's conversation.
At this moment, a sentence floated from the adjacent table: "The price of bullets has risen again recently, and the fortress only gave a 20% discount on the price of a batch of grain deducted from the teeth in our village, and said that it was okay to change the gun, but the price of the bullet would increase by 30%. This big bucket is in and out of the small half, and the bullet has almost risen by half the price. ”
Mu Yuan was stunned, I damn it, I was pitted by the round-faced girl who looked kind, she just said that bullets are not valuable, but obviously the people in the village said that the price of bullets has risen.
But given Mu Yuan three guts, he didn't dare to settle accounts with the round-faced girl, so he had to scold the stinky girl in his stomach while sticking up his ears and continuing to listen to people's chatter.
"I know this, I heard that a train carrying coal has recently derailed, which has affected the production of homemade bullets in the fort, but then again, even if this train does not have an accident, the price of this bullet will definitely go up - this reason is obvious, bullets are no less than guns, use one less grain, even if there is more stock in this warehouse, it can't stand the use of everyone in the neighboring towns. Moreover, the gunpowder used to make bullets is too difficult to organize, and the chemical plant that the fortress wants to occupy is still entrenched by zombies and intelligent corpses, and these dirty things are now cunning, hiding in underground pipes and not showing up to sabotage. You think, this chemical plant is full of pipes, big and small, and if one of them breaks, the whole production process is ruined. ”
"So, the price of this bullet has to go up?"
"Hey, I don't know what to do. If you think about it, more and more villages are getting guns that the fort provides almost free of charge, and people are making money for bullets, just like the routine of selling printers in the past - the printer is given to you at a loss, but this cartridge toner can make you old nose money. ”…,
"Yo, in that case, our village has to hurry up and get another batch of bullets to the fort."
"You think beautifully, there is so much food in the village this year, we now eat sweet potato and multigrain rice every day, and the food saved has long been exchanged for bullets and medicines in the fortress. There is no way to do it this year, stay up until the beginning of spring, and get a variety of grains. The fortress said that they had a batch of high-yielding seeds and could sell them to us cheaper, but not in large quantities, on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
"Alas, how can it be so simple to have a variety of grains? With seeds, you have to find a way to get fertilizer, you have agricultural machinery, you have to solve the problem of diesel, even if you have seedlings, God will take care of it, and you have to prevent zombies from trick-or-treating. You forget, because Zhaojiazhuang next door provoked a smart corpse, but when the grain was collected, it was used by the wise corpse with a group of zombies to burn a small half of the wheat. There's no place to cry if you really cry. ”
Mu Yuan listened to the words with his ears, looked down at the bowl, and sure enough, the real rice grains in this bowl of "rice" can almost be counted on his fingers, most of them are sweet potatoes and corn, which should be put in the past, but it is the most environmentally friendly and healthy cereals, but this year, such a meal is easy to eat, but it takes a strenuous exercise for a while, and it is fast to get hungry, not hungry. If you eat too many sweet potatoes, you are also prone to fart.
Mu Yuan leaned over boldly: "This big brother, I heard that there is a vaccine in that fortress, is it true?" ”
"Vaccines? What vaccine? ”
"It's the vaccine that can cure biochemical viruses."
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "This brother, where did you hear nonsense that the fortress has a vaccine?" If you want a gun, a cannon, or even a tank, if you get enough food, the fort will trade it for you. Vaccine? How could there be such a thing. ”
Mu Yuan hurriedly smiled: "That's the case, I also overheard someone talk about it when I was wandering outside." ”
The man on the other side glanced at Mu Yuan: "Listen to your accent, aren't you from the north?" From the south? ”
Mu Yuan didn't dare to say that he came all the way from Yonggang City, Jiangnan - this zombie is everywhere, you can come over unscathed, it is definitely greasy. If you really have this ability, how can you be chased by a few zombies and flee to the village? (。 )
