Chapter 44: Bounty
"What kind of low-lying land?"
Jiang Ran wasn't sure if this was the kind of earth root she knew.
The rhizome of this thing is very similar to the rhizome of a plant called the white hinge.
However, the rhizome of the root of Dishuo can quickly heal traumatic wounds, and the effect is dozens or hundreds of times that of a certain Nanbaiyao.
However, the rhizome of the hinge is highly poisonous, and if you accidentally eat a large amount of it, even those with strong physique and ability will die within three hours.
Seeing that the girl who asked seemed to understand, the stall owner carefully recalled: "It seems to be a swamp, and the leaves of this plant are pale yellow oval, about the size of a palm." ”
"Oh."
Hearing the stall owner's inquiry, Jiang Ran was basically sure that this was a white hinge, this thing was useless, and she didn't make poison.
Seeing that the customer lost interest, the stall owner hurriedly said, "How is it?" If you like it, 50 points will be given to you. ”
Jiang Ran smiled, "No need, you can keep it for yourself." ”
"Eh, wait."
The stall owner hurriedly stayed, he had been setting up a stall here for so long, this was the first time someone had taken the initiative to ask, and it seemed that the girl seemed to know what it was.
Jiang Ran turned to look at the stall owner, "I don't buy this thing." ”
"Let's talk about it again." The stall owner hurriedly called the person back and said with a smile: "Do you know what this thing is?" ”
"I don't know."
Jiang Ran shook his head decisively, turned around and continued to walk forward, searching the things and items on the stall one by one.
"Uh......"
Looking at Jiang Ran who was walking away, the stall owner didn't say anything again, people didn't want to be exposed, and it was useless to ask more.
After shopping for more than an hour, there was still nothing to gain, so Jiang Ran dispelled the idea, let's cultivate hard, how can there be so many leaks for her to pick up.
With such high temperatures, it is difficult for both plants and animals to survive.
Even if there are good things, it is estimated that they are still in the deep mountains and old forests that are uninhabited, and now this situation is not suitable for long-distance travel.
In the following days, Jiang Ran lived a regular life, cultivating 24 hours a day, 15 hours a day.
Every few days, I will take the time to go to the Wutong warehouse, but I have not gained much.
this day.
Jiang Ran, as usual, went to the basement after breakfast.
In the past two days, there have suddenly been a lot more vendors setting up stalls, and the basement seems to be more lively, but they are all selling points, and those selling food for points have suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Ran made up for sleep (cultivation) every day, while others chatted and gossip.
"Eh, I haven't seen that little girl in two days, have you?"
The person next to him looked at the old man who lowered his head and coaxed the child, and said in a low voice: "I bought it, I saw with my own eyes yesterday that she sold that girl to Mrs. Wang in the neighborhood next door." ”
"What?"
"That Mrs. Wang is a person who specializes in serving underground night clubs."
The crowd was amazed.
"It's so cruel, the little girl doesn't know how much torture she has to suffer."
"It's not going to be easy."
"Since those outsiders entered the city, the prices in the safe zone have skyrocketed, and the prices of food, water and electricity have all risen, and as a result, wages have become lower and lower."
"Half a month ago, 1 point could be exchanged for a pound of white rice in the official store, and then it rose to 2 points a pound, yesterday I went to buy rice, and a pound of white rice cost 4 points."
"Oh my God, so tall?"
"It's okay if the water and electricity go up, it's a big deal, let's use less, but the food can't go up, it's going to starve to death."
"Not really."
"No, I have to buy more food at night and stock it up at home, if it continues to rise, I will really starve to death."
The more everyone talked, the more panicked they became, with the protection of the safety zone, although the days were sad, but they were quite stable.
And as the population grows, and the food spoils due to high temperatures, the pressure on the safe zone increases.
The shortage of materials is a matter of time, but Jiang Ran didn't expect it to be so soon.
After that, the situation became more and more serious, and the basement during the day was full of wailing, and some people even asked Jiang Ran about it.
"Jiang Ran, do you have a lot of food? I want to buy some points with you. ”
Jiang Ran knew this woman, she was a tenant on the 5th floor, and her family also had a husband who was on the street safety committee.
Jiang Ran asked, "Isn't there a store in the safe zone that specializes in selling food?" Why not go there? ”
The woman shook her head, "The store is restricted, and most of the materials released are purchased by insiders, so they can't be grabbed at all." ”
The person next to him interjected: "The price rose again yesterday, 5 points per catty of rice, and the black market directly doubled 10 points per catty of rice." ”
Glancing at the people around them, these people were all paying attention here, their eyes full of anticipation and greed, and they were about to rush up.
Retracting his gaze and looking at the woman with a sad face in front of him, Jiang Ran shook his head and refused, "Sorry, I don't have much food." ”
"Ugh."
The woman left in frustration, and the others looked away regretfully.
Midday.
Jiang Ran ate a bowl of gruel, and many people endured not to eat it at this time, if she ate too well, she would become a thorn in the side of others.
Seeing that Jiang Ran only had a cup of gruel, everyone had a lot of balance in their hearts.
At this time, Tian Ren walked over, leaned over to Jiang Ran's side and whispered, "Sister Ran, there is a chance to earn materials, can you go?" ”
"What chance?"
Jiang Ran was a little curious, now that supplies are so scarce, the officials of the security zone should be busy negotiating with the rich.
After all, they have a lot of supplies in their hands, and this is the only source of getting them quickly and in large quantities until the temperature drops.
Looking at the crowd, Tian Ren whispered: "I got the news that one of the rich people who supplies water to the base has his private farmland invaded by evolutionary organisms.
Now there is a reward for the outside world, as long as the evolved creatures can be solved, he will give 1,000 catties of food and 10,000 points. ”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows, "If you can offer such a high price, that thing should be difficult to deal with, I'm afraid there will be no return." Is there a picture of that evolved creature? ”
Until she was reborn, the provincial security zone existed, and this invading evolutionary creature should be just a small fight, but I don't know, will the army enter?
"Yes."
Tian Ren took out his mobile phone from his pocket and flipped out a few pictures in the album.
On the screen is a one- or two-month-old puppy-sized bug, lying on top of the black soil and nibbling on green leaves, looking a bit like an enlarged pig worm.
Seeing this bug, Jiang Ran lost interest in an instant, and she was not short of supplies, so why take this risk?
Tian Ren wanted to earn this introduction fee, so he flipped through a few other pictures, "Sister Ran, do you want to take this task?" Be careful, it should be fine for you. ”
Hehe.
You can't afford to be early.
"Wait."
Jiang Ran just wanted to refuse, but suddenly found that in the corner of the last picture, there was a flickering fluorescent.
"It's ......"
She snatched the phone, magnified the fluorescence, and almost jumped up with excitement when she saw the little fluorescent bug.
Fluorite insects.
It turned out to be a fluorite bug.
Jiang Ran was so excited that he hurriedly calmed himself down, and he must not be exposed.
