Chapter 45: Crystal Nucleus

After leaving Lao Zhang's house, Lu Chen found a place around where no one was, transferred all the gold in his backpack to the system space, and then took out some cans and cigarettes from the space to fill the mountaineering package.

"Damn, this has to weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds."

With a hiking bag full of canned food on his back, Lu Chen couldn't help but complain.

Fortunately, his fitness during this period of time has not fallen, if he had always sat in the office before, I am afraid that he would not be able to go far with this hiking bag on his back.

Then, Lu Chen began to set off towards the inner city that Lao Zhang said.

According to Lao Zhang, the inner city has to walk through the entire trading field for more than ten minutes.

Of course, it's quick by car, just a minute or two.

However, Lu Chen didn't have a car, so he could only rely on his two legs to hurry.

Ten minutes away, Lu Chen was stunned and walked for more than half an hour before arriving.

The main reason is that the mountaineering bag on his body is too heavy, and Lu Chen has to rest after walking for a few minutes.

"Damn, why didn't I think of it, I should have waited until it was almost time to take things out, and now I've carried it all the way in vain."

It wasn't until a wall about three meters high appeared in front of Lu Chen that he suddenly reacted, he should have waited until he arrived at his destination to take out the can, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so tired.

Thinking of his foolish operation, Lu Chen sighed a little helplessly, and then walked towards the gate of the inner city in front.

At the gate, there were more than a dozen soldiers with guns standing guard there, and after asking Lu Chen about his intentions, they charged him an entrance fee of 100 catties of food stamps, and asked Lu Chen to let him in after a while with a machine that was the same as the one at the gate outside the city before.

"Remember, once you go in, you can only go to the commercial area on the right, and you can't go past the residential area on the left."

When Lu Chen walked in, a soldier also warned Lu Chen.

"Damn, no wonder it's called a high-end living area, it was a villa area before."

As soon as he passed through the wall, Lu Chen knew why this place was called a high-end living area.

I saw that the piece on the left hand side was actually an independently built villa.

Lu Chen glanced at it curiously for a few moments, then withdrew his gaze and walked towards the right hand side.

On the right-hand side there is a shopping street, surrounded by a neat row of two-storey shops, which seem to serve the people inside.

Lu Chen walked over there.

There weren't many people here, Lu Chen had met a few people along the way, and they were all dressed quite cleanly, carrying some bags in their hands, and it seemed that they had just come out of the commercial street in front of them after buying something.

Lu Chen quickly walked to the commercial street, there were no stalls here, they were all in the form of shops.

Lu Chen was looking for the umbrella branch that Lao Zhang said, and at the same time curiously looked at the shops around.

"There are still fruit sellers?"

Lu Chen suddenly saw a shop with a fruit shop sign.

Curious, I stood outside and took a look, and found that there were only two kinds of fruits sold inside: apples and pears, and all of them didn't look very good, and they were very small.

This made Lu Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

The canned fruits he brought were yellow peaches and lychees, and if there were fruits like him for sale, the price of his canned food would be affected, after all, scarcity is expensive.

"Found it, it should be this one, it looks like it!"

When Lu Chen walked to the middle of this commercial street, a shop with an umbrella on the top of the door appeared in Lu Chen's eyes.

This umbrella logo is almost exactly the same as the company logo in Lu Chen's impression, the only difference is that the company's logo is white and red in two colors, while the one in front of him is black and white.

Lu Chen stared at the black and white umbrella sign for a while, then walked into the store with his feet raised.

This shop is not big, it is twenty or thirty square meters like other shops around, and it has a counter inside.

Behind the counter, a middle-aged man with glasses who looked to be in his thirties and forties was lying on a chair, holding a transparent glowing screen in his hand, and occasionally stretching out his finger to gestur.

Behind the counter is a row of wooden cabinets of about two meters, on which are placed syringe-like things, and the syringes contain liquids of various colors.

"See for yourself what you want!"

The middle-aged man behind the counter saw Lu Chen coming in, glanced at him, pointed to the wooden cabinet behind him, and said lazily.

Then he lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the things in his hands.

Lu Chen walked to the counter and found that there were some labels under the syringes.

"Bloodstorm Elixir-5."

"Coagulant-2."

"Gene agent type I-10."

"Gene agent type II-100."

"What is this?"

Lu Chen looked at the label on it, and his head was confused for a while.

However, he soon saw what he needed under a syringe with a green liquid inside.

"Cancer Cell Repair Solution-10."

"How about it, do you want it?"

Just as Lu Chen was looking at the cancer cell repair solution with a happy face, the middle-aged man seemed to be busy with his own affairs, put away the transparent light curtain in his hand and looked at Lu Chen and asked.

"I want that."

Without hesitation, Lu Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the cancer cell repair solution.

"10 first-order crystal nuclei!"

The middle-aged man reached out and took out the cancer cell repair solution that Lu Chen pointed at and put it on the counter, and said lightly.

"Uh,"

Lu Chen was stunned, what is a first-order crystal nucleus?

"You can't be without a crystal nucleus, are you?"

"I don't take your so-called food stamps here."

The middle-aged man frowned when he saw Lu Chen's expression, and looked at Lu Chen with a somewhat unhappy face and said.

Lu Chen really didn't have a crystal nucleus, he didn't even know what a crystal nucleus was, how could he have it.

"It seems that I still know too little about the world."

"Listen to him, this crystal nucleus should also be a common currency?"

"But why did everyone use food stamps or barter in the trading market before?"

Lu Chen thought quickly in his mind.

Now, of course, you can't directly ask this middle-aged man what the crystal nucleus is, isn't that suspicious.

"I really don't have a crystal nucleus, do I use food to change lanes with you?"

Lu Chen said after thinking for a while.

"Food?"

"It depends on what kind of food it is, I don't want anything in general."

The middle-aged man said after thinking for a while.

When Lu Chen heard this, he hurriedly opened the mountaineering bag, took out three cans from it and placed them on the counter.

"Canned!"

"Why don't you even have a label and a production date, it can't be those expired cans in the city, right?"

Looking at the three cans without any signs outside, the middle-aged man looked at Lu Chen with a suspicious expression.

"Smack!"

Lu Chen didn't say a word, and directly opened the lid on a can.

Suddenly, a very strong smell of meat came out of the can.
