The caravan brought cloth, seeds, oil and salt, cans, source crystals, medicines and other materials needed by Sweetwater Town, and occupied a large area in the trading market on the west side of the square, setting up trading stalls.

Sweetwater Town is far away from the Singularity Base Camp, except for Source Crystal and Gold, there is no universal currency, and the transaction is basically bartered, and most of the trading items taken out in the town are dried sweet potatoes and insect ash produced on the periphery of the hills.

The latter has been being collected one after another.

Mike, the material administrator in the town, asked people to drive the two carts from yesterday, and immediately found Zhuo Cheng, Zhang Fan, Lin Sheng and Tu Sheng, took out the material register, and asked them to count the trading materials.

The materials collected from the slave owner's camp, except for a few items such as carriages, tents, and bows and crossbows, were all owned by the five people, including Zhuo Cheng, and could be traded directly with Erin's caravan.

Among them, the most valuable is the box of gold.

"You check the list." Mike's mouth is straight into a line, without a little curvature, making the whole person look serious and serious.

Zhuo Cheng took a general look, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Lin Sheng picked up the wooden box containing gold on the cart, walked to the caravan leader Erin, and smiled as he walked: "Hey, Sister Erin! ”

Erin, who was talking to Zhang Fu, turned her head and smiled at this side, "Do you need my help?" ”

Lin Sheng hurriedly said, "I'...... I'll do it myself. ”

Zhuo Cheng followed, after all, he was in urgent need of medicine.

Erin looked at the almost reflective bald head, couldn't remember such a person, and asked, "Are you?" ”

Zhuo Cheng briefly introduced himself: "My name is Zhuo Cheng, and I just joined Sweetwater Town. ”

"I'm Erin, the leader of the Singularity Wilderness Caravan." Erin's short brown-red hair was still dusty and debris, but her smile made people feel extra friendly: "If you need my help, just come to me." ”

Tu Sheng and Zhang Fan followed Zhuo Cheng, but they couldn't say a word.

Roughly glancing at Erin, Zhuo Cheng vaguely understood the mentality of these two people, he had gone through a similar stage back then.

Even though the wind and rain stained Irene's face a wheat color, making the skin exposed outside the studded leather coat a little rough, the beauty was comparative.

Comparing the ruins and the women of Sweetwater, Irene, who always has a sunny and friendly smile, looks particularly attractive.

Erin took the wooden box, opened it and looked at it, saw the golden pile, and asked, "Where did you get it?" ”

Zhuo Cheng didn't understand Erin's relationship with Sweetwater, so he cautiously didn't answer.

Lin Sheng hurriedly said: "Ha, there is a slave owner who grabbed the big nose, let's go to rescue the big nose, and by the way, the ...... that was scavenged from the slave owner."

He talked endlessly, and seemed to have found a topic that attracted Erin's attention: "At that time, there was a slave owner who was engaged in the ritual of sacrificing to the evil god, and seeing that the evil god was about to come, and we were going to be finished, Zhuo Cheng rushed up and smashed the sacrifice, interrupting the arrival!" ”

Lin Sheng is not boasting, it belongs to other people's credit, and basically tells the truth: "Zhuo Cheng is very powerful, that evil god opened a window out of thin air, revealing a big golden eye staring at Zhuo Cheng, Zhuo Cheng faced the evil god peeping, and did not flinch at all!" ”

Hearing this, Erin couldn't help but turn her head and look at Zhuo Cheng again: "You are very brave!" Good luck too! She advised: "In the future, try to stay away from the same places of worship, some powerful beings are very vindictive." ”

Zhuo Cheng could hear that she was out of kindness, shaking her bare head and saying, "Thank you!" ”

Dangling, his face unconsciously turned to the sun.

Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly turned around.

Once, Zhuo Cheng didn't care, and the second time he appeared, he felt that it was not right.

Turning to the sun, let him contact the sunflower man again, and the heart said that he won't become that ghost in the future, right?

Erin checked the fineness of the gold, took the scales and weighed them herself, and asked her to count the rest of the supplies, including the two horses, because it was barter, and the materials were first measured with the corresponding singularity gold coins, and after being divided into five equal parts, she went to exchange them for the goods of the caravan.

Zhuo Cheng took the list of goods and looked at them one by one, as a member of the militia, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, Yuanjing was useless for the time being, and the most urgent thing was medicine.

"All I need is medicine." Zhuo Cheng quickly made a decision: "A drug that inhibits the deterioration of the twisted tumors in the muscles and stomach." ”

Erin asked curiously, "You double twist?" ”

Zhuo Cheng wanted to buy medicine and nodded: "Yes." ”

Erin asked, "What about the complications?" ”

Zhuo Cheng had heard more than once that Erin was leading a caravan from the Singularity Research Institute, which is currently the most powerful scientific research institution known, and immediately said: "When the sarcoma exerts its strength, it is soreness and pain, and the stomach is ...... It hasn't been discovered yet. ”

Unconsciously turning to the sun, he has to observe again.

Erin again advised: "The more distorted tumor types, the more complications there are, the greater the likelihood of deterioration, and you should pay more attention to your own changes by taking your medication every day." ”

Zhuo Cheng said again: "Thank you." ”

Erin each took five red and white metal bottles to Zhuo Cheng and advised: "One pill a day, the medicine has side effects, don't take more often." After overusing the extraordinary twisting ability, you can take one pill to calm the complications, so as not to disintegrate the twisted tumor and become life-threatening. ”

The metal bottle is not big, Zhuo Cheng put it all into his bag, and took out a red bottle and unscrewed the cap, inside was a light red tablet, which seemed to smell a faint smell of blood.

Zhang Fan also changed all the medicines, took out one and swallowed it at this time, and came over to see Zhuo Cheng: "Take one, we will go to the quarry behind the town in a while, and you can see if the complications are alleviated." ”

In the sound of heavy footsteps, Du Qi walked over: "The medicine of the Singularity Research Institute works very well, try not to take more!" ”

After getting along in the past few days, Zhuo Cheng has a lot of trust in Du Qi and Zhang Fan, and he poured out one of the two pills and swallowed them.

Du Qi said again: "In the afternoon, the picking team will go out of the town, and Mike will hand over to the caravan, Zhang Fan, you will take people with you to do a good job of guarding." ”

Although he was in the soup for half a day, Zhang Fan knew that the insect ash was the most important trading material in Sweetwater Town, and since the caravan was here, the town would definitely step up its collection.

"Mayor Mare!" Zhuo Cheng took the initiative to ask: "I'll go with Zhang Fan?" ”

Joining Sweetwater, he can't just enjoy without giving, especially as a newcomer.

Du Qi thought about it for a while, Zhuo Cheng was personally recruited by him, and he was also very optimistic about him, and being positive would be good for integrating into Sweetwater Town, so he immediately took out his bone pipe and lit it: "Yes!" Remember, don't eat things outside, and ask Zhang Fan if you don't understand. ”

Ahh

There was a crow in the sky, circling in a circle, and landing on the roof of the storehouse.

"Sister Irene! Sister Irene! ”

Zhang Fan's sister An An and a group of children ran over and immediately gathered around Erin, chattering non-stop.

Zhuo Cheng looked at it curiously, and saw Erin take out a bag, take out a small handful from Chong, stuff it to An An first, and at the same time comfort the other children: "Don't worry! Both! There's something for everyone! ”

Each child was given a few small pieces of hard candy wrapped in red paper, and some people couldn't wait to open it and stuff it into their mouths, even their eyes were sweetly crooked.

Zhuo Cheng has a sense of illusion, everything in Sweetwater Town seems to be so beautiful, and it seems to be in two completely different worlds from the cruel coldness on the ruins.

Maybe he had been standing still for too long, and Zhuo Cheng's face unconsciously turned to the side of the sun, just in time to catch a glimpse of Du Qi looking at the children, and the corners of his mouth actually smiled.

Seeing Zhuo Cheng's eyes, Du Qi's face became vicissitudes and indifference.

Leaving the square, the two went to the quarry behind the town to try it, and Zhuo Cheng found that the inhibitory effect of the drug was very obvious, even if the arm was fully exerted, it was only faintly sore.

The sharp pain that seemed to break the muscles was gone.

Zhang Fan and Tusheng's symptoms were most relieved, the former stopped coughing, and the latter no longer pulled at every turn.

After lunch, Zhuo Cheng packed up his personal belongings, followed Zhang Fan and five militiamen, and accompanied a collection team of dozens of people out of the town to the edge of the hills, cutting firewood and collecting insect ash.

The other militias were relatively athletic ordinary people, trained for a long time, and adept at using mechanical repeaters.

In addition to weapons and tools, each person carried a large homemade basket.

Sweetwater is backed by Stone Mountain, on the edge of a rolling hill, and the northern woods are covered with tall trees, a considerable part of which are ash trees common in the north.

This tree inhabits a wax worm that secretes ash wax.

The people of Sweetwater Town have been collecting insect ash for many years, and even many wax insects are specially stocked and have a mature collection mechanism.

Arriving at the edge of the woods, some of the people went to chop wood for fuel in the town, and most of them were busy around the ash trees, and the main job of the militia was to keep the team safe.

It's not that there are no scavengers who come here to try their luck, if there are few people, scavengers who are accustomed to the rules of survival in ruins dare to kill people and divide meat.

In addition, there are unknown dangers inside the woods.

It is not only humans who distort the strange radiation energy, but also other places, where some strange beings are often born.

It's a short distance from Sweetwater, and the danger posed by humans is limited, so the focus is on the interior of the woods.

As the only extraordinary twister in the team, Zhang Fan shouted to Zhuo Cheng to go to the woods to guard against a possible crisis.

Zhuo Cheng looked at the dense woods further north and asked, "How far has the town gone in?" ”

"The mayor once went into the forest for two days and two nights before going back." Zhang Fan's big nose suddenly turned red: "With other people, I have to go back for most of the day." ”

Zhuo Cheng understood that the others followed the mayor, which was equivalent to a burden.

The two of them each occupied a place with a better view, guarding from a distance, Zhuo Cheng consciously controlled his neck and did not let his head turn to the place where the sun fell.

A shadow flashed overhead.

Zhuo Cheng raised his head, there was nothing in the sky, and said to Zhang Fan: "It seems that a particularly big bird flew over." ”

"No?" Not too far away, Zhang Fan looked at the sky for a while and said, "Don't worry, we have new drugs to suppress complications, with my Xiaobai and Xiaohong, there is no danger at the edge of the woods!" ”

Zhuo Cheng didn't speak again, just clenched the octagonal hammer, woke up his spirit, and stared into the depths of the woods.

In this fucking world, life in Sweetwater is extraordinarily beautiful, and he cherishes it very much and is willing to do his part to protect this beautiful life.

Zhang Fan reminded over there: "Zhuo Cheng, you must remember, no matter what you see, no matter how much you want to eat, don't eat it!" There are so many poisonous things! ”

Zhuo Cheng replied: "Remember! ”

Zhang Fan nodded slightly, and the mayor told them that Zhuo Cheng was very reliable at a critical moment.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted from the front, and Zhang Fan's saliva was secreted in large quantities, dripping down the corners of his mouth.

He didn't hesitate, threw away the mechanical repeater and pounced, pulling away the yellow fallen leaves, and the mushrooms with red umbrellas and white rods didn't know when they would grow.

Zhang Fan plucked one and bit off half of the red umbrella in one bite, the saliva juice splashed from the chewing, and the food was extremely sweet.
