Chapter 24 Caravans

Lin Ye didn't seem to notice that he had unknowingly begun to worry about the fate of this group of game characters.

The sense of crisis is getting stronger, and the people in the settlement are ready to take precautions.

But the other party didn't seem to be worried, that is, he didn't enter a state of alert, and there was no change.

I don't know if I have the confidence because I have a gun, or if there is really no hostility.

But no matter which one it is, it is not necessarily a good thing for the people in the settlement.

Such an atmosphere made Lin Ye couldn't help but hold his breath.

At this moment, the convoy stopped, and they didn't seem nervous at all in the face of the heavily armed people on the opposite side.

One of them suddenly walked out, looked at them and suddenly shouted loudly, "We are a caravan, and we are here to make a trade." ”

Hearing their voices from a distance, Lin Ye found that their accents were a little strange, but he could still understand them.

The accent is not a dialect, it looks like a foreigner speaking Chinese.

Hearing this voice, the people in the settlement did not let down their vigilance, but sent people to quietly come out and surround the caravan.

At this time, a somewhat rickety figure, dressed in various patchwork clothes, walked up to them, "We do not welcome hostile traders. ”

The caravan representative chuckled, "If we were hostile, we wouldn't be standing here waiting for you to react. ”

Without waiting for the other party to react, he immediately continued, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can see what we brought." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him, and immediately someone sent a bag of things.

When the bag was opened, the old man's face on the other side suddenly changed, and he exclaimed almost at the same time, "Is it salt?" ”

As the voice came, the people in the settlement were also shocked, no longer as quiet as before, and even began to mumble slowly.

Seeing their shocked appearance, the people in the caravan laughed in anticipation.

Obviously, salt is hard currency in the eyes of these people.

"What are you going to change?" The old man finally couldn't resist the temptation and asked directly.

"Prey, food, of course you may not have these, but we can exchange them for slaves and women." The merchant spoke immediately.

Lin Ye frowned when he heard this, because he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the last two words.

Even if you know that this is fake, and maybe even a bunch of data just to fit the theme, you still can't comfort yourself.

The situation here has been seen almost as much, and Lin Ye no longer stays long, taking advantage of them to communicate, he slowly retreats backwards.

Along the way, I haven't completed any tasks, I only watched a round of excitement, but I haven't found anything to eat, so I can't just gossip a day and go home, right?

So instead of going back, she turned and walked the way the caravan had come.

If her sense of direction was correct, she would have just walked through the ruins and made another turn to get back to the base.

And where the caravan walks, it also means that it will be relatively safe.

Sure enough, when I walked on this road, there were traces on the snow along the way, not only footprints, but even traces of ruts.

From these traces, it can be seen that there are really a lot of goods in this caravan, otherwise they would not have left such deep traces.

Since salt is a hard currency in this world, it must not be cheap.

It was impossible for such a small settlement to consume all the salt, and they must have to go somewhere else.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye suddenly had the idea of following behind them to see how big this world really was.

It's a pity that she still has to go offline, at least for the time being, she can't leave the base too far.

Looking back at the direction of the caravan, he sighed lightly and reluctantly walked towards the base.

With the traces left by the caravan, the way back was much easier, but Lin Ye knew that it was impossible to find anything if he followed their path.

So as he walked, he observed the situation around him, and finally stopped when he saw that the ruins near him were getting higher and higher.

The already collapsed ruins, combined with the heavy snowfall, make it impossible to see what it was originally, but the more complex the situation, the more noticeable it becomes.

Lin Ye is not a person with a strong sense of curiosity, but her desire to explore in this world is extremely strong.

Now she is not just looking for food, but also wants to find out the situation around her.

The ruins look small from afar, but when you get closer, you find that it is even more spectacular, and when you climb to it, it is almost like climbing the mountain on the base.

One can imagine what a huge structure this ruin was before.

However, since it is a collapsed building, and in such an obvious location, it is naturally impossible for anything to be left behind.

Even the spaces that can be drilled into are empty, not to mention looking for food, or looking for some remnants of the old era.

Think about the iron sheets and finished rubber on the houses in the settlement, which are obviously all patchwork of all kinds of garbage.

She didn't know what the rest of the world was like, but she could see from the situation in the settlements that there was almost no productivity here, and it was completely primitive and social.

Not even a simple refining of salt can be done, and there seems to be nothing left other than the language.

But another group of people, carrying weapons, dared to walk in a caravan in such a dangerous world.

They want prey, which can be understood as a need for food, but they want slaves and women, which means that there is a market for these here.

As long as there is a market, it means that not all settlements are primitive societies like this, and there may still be civilizations.

Just as Lin Ye was thinking about this, a sudden cry came not far away.

Listening to the roar at such a distance, Lin Ye instinctively unloaded his bow and arrows and pointed in that direction.

At first glance, it is another mutant dog.

She may still be scared if she sees other prey that she has not seen before, but she is not nervous at all when she has already killed a mutant dog.

When the mutant dog saw her movements, his eyes immediately flashed fiercely, and he looked ready to attack at any time.

Lin Ye knew that its weakness was in the stomach, so he didn't rush to attack, but waited for its move.

Sure enough, the mutant dog still didn't have as much patience as her, and after a stalemate for a while, he rushed over.

Almost at the same time, the bow and arrow in Lin Ye's hand also shot out instantly.

"Poof!" The arrows that flew out pierced the mutant dog's weakest stomach with precision.

The mutant dog flying in mid-air fell to the ground with a pop.

Before it could react again, Lin Ye had already stepped forward quickly to make up for it, making it completely out of breath.
