"Squeak. ”

With a somewhat low, piercing sound of wood rubbing, the cabinet in front of Zhang Ran was easily opened by him, and lost the support of the cabinet, and the original lock and a small piece of wood connected to it also fell into the wooden cabinet.

Through the dim light of the torches, Zhang Ran looked into the interior of the wooden cabinet, and the walls of the wooden cabinet were already covered with gray mold spots, and layers of thick dust had accumulated, and at the bottom of the cabinet there was a layer of sticky and thick green paste-like object, exuding a musty smell.

In the corner of the wooden cabinet, Zhang Ran also saw a thin pile of banknotes, compared to ordinary paper, they have undergone special antiseptic treatment, and they are in a wooden cabinet with low humidity, so they seem to be well preserved.

Although these banknotes are not rotten, in the wasteland world that has experienced a nuclear explosion and a great change in social order, these banknotes have long lost their value, and they are not even better than a ball of waste paper, so Zhang Ran has no interest in collecting them at all, but just leaves them there.

What really caught Zhang Ran's eyes was some dusty jewelry on the edge of the wooden cabinet, although their appearance was gray, but when you looked closely, there was a faint golden luster inside.

Reaching out and taking out all the jewelry, the outer layers of these jewelry have been attached to a thick layer of dust, and after hundreds of years of accumulation, they have been as dry and hard as a layer of soil.

Stretched out his hand to wipe off the ash on the outer layer of jewelry, and a batch of golden jewelry appeared in front of Zhang Ran, looking at these jewelry, Zhang Ran's eyes lit up, and he took out a golden bracelet from it, bit it with his teeth, and showed a surprised smile on his face.

"It's good pure gold, it's good!"

In the wasteland, although the currency of the old era has long lost its value, gold, as one of the precious metals, is still a universally recognized equivalent, and it is also a favorite product of those high-ranking people, and it is also the raw material needed in the formulation of many potions, which is very precious.

In the Black Hawk Company, because there is no gold mine nearby, the purchase price of gold is also exceptionally high, and the purchase price of each gram of gold is hundreds of Black Hawk Coins, which is also a treasure that everyone hopes to recover from the wilderness.

According to the estimates of the chip, Zhang Ran harvested about twenty grams of gold this time, and another fifty grams of silver, once sold, Zhang Ran could get close to 10,000 or even more Black Eagle coins, which was enough for Zhang Ran to change into a better cold weapon and buy a rifle at hand.

Packed these jewelry in a special storage bag, Zhang Ran also carefully stuffed it to the bottom of the back of the march, and then he picked up the military thorn in his hand again and came to the next room.

Sweeping the entire room on the second floor, except for the room with walking corpses, in the other rooms, Zhang Ran did not encounter any new zombies, and except for some iron tools, he did not loot any valuable materials.

As far as iron artifacts are concerned, the purchase price of them by the Black Eagle Company is as low as one Black Eagle coin per kilogram, and it is not worth Zhang Ran to collect them at all, but with the accumulation of those few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, this trip to the wilderness has far exceeded Zhang Ran's expectations, so he is also satisfied with leaving the hut and rushing to the rampaging gopher colony in the distance again.

After killing a few mutated creatures that dared to attack him, Zhang Ran also came to his destination - this is a vast grassland, growing countless waist-high weeds, because of the lack of care, most of the weeds are showing a pale yellow-green scene, looking low and gloomy.

"The area was named the 'Raging Gopher' Grassland. ”

While naming the area on the chip, Zhang Ran surrounded the environment on the rampaging gopher grassland.

After the search in the hut and the running all the way, the time had crept to thirteen o'clock in the afternoon, which was the time of the day when the sun was at its brightest, if it was the old days.

However, at this time, in front of Zhang Ran, it was still a gloomy scene - through the thick gray radiation clouds, the sunlight shining on the earth was still dim, and the temperature on the earth was only about 20 degrees, and if it was night, the temperature on the wilderness would even drop below zero.

In order to adapt to this environment, the hair of various mutated creatures in the wilderness has become thicker, even for humans living in congregations.

On the black and yellow earth, all kinds of insects are also scattering around, and after the baptism of radiation, their bodies are much larger than the earth star, and there are all kinds of hideous mutated organs.

These insects and wild grasses are the favorite food of creatures like rampaging gophers, which is why this grassland is one of the areas where rampaging gophers are often found.

Of course, the rampaging gopher is only one of the creatures at the bottom of the wilderness food chain, supporting thousands of other mutated creatures such as rotting wolves, walking corpses, rock scorpions, fire-breathing ants, etc., forming a unique ecology in the wilderness.

In addition to all kinds of unique mutant beasts, mutant plants are also common mutant creatures in the wilderness, just a hundred meters in front of Zhang Ran, there is a strange tall plant, the pale stem does not have a leaf, but is covered with dozens of centimeters of spikes, and there are traces of blood of unknown creatures on it.

This is the Thorn Thorn Tree, one of the mutant plants commonly found in the wilderness. After mutating, although these plants cannot move, they have become self-aware, and can prey on the mutant beasts around them by waving their branches, and use their blood as their own nourishment, which is not a good kind.

For humans, especially evolutionaries, thorn trees have a unique value - they are one of the common channels for drinking water in the wilderness, and after cutting through their bark, they will shed a certain amount of thorn sap.

The sap of the thorn tree still has certain harmful substances in it, and ordinary people are likely to have diarrhea and fever if they drink it directly, but compared with the water sources on the surface in the wilderness, they have almost no lethal radiation, nor do they contain a large number of viruses and toxins, and they are relatively clean water sources.

For ordinary people, as long as it is filtered by a special filtration device, the thorn tree sap can be used as drinking water, and for evolutionaries, even if the thorn tree sap is directly consumed, it will not cause damage to the body, which is why people usually do not actively attack the thorn tree when encountering it.

In the simulated map of the chip structure, the location of this thorn tree has also been specially recorded, and the mark of water source resources has been added, once Zhang Ran lacks water sources in the future, the chip can easily recommend this place to Zhang Ran.
