Section 111  Price

The wilderness outside Yinyue Town has become no longer quiet for the first time due to the noisy people.

Five thousand two hundred and ninety-four are the total number that was finally passed. They were scattered on a sandy and stone floor about five kilometers long around Yinyue Town in a group of about five hundred people. Using various simple materials, they built tents that could barely block the wind and rain.

The world is full of radiation. When it cannot be completely eliminated or avoided, the new generation of humans can only choose areas with relatively weak radiation effects to settle down. Due to the damage of rays to cells and human organs, there were very few people living longevity during this period, and the average age remained between about fifty and fifty-five years old. In addition to the malnutrition caused by hunger, various inexplicable diseases and mutant viruses are also destroying the most basic components of human society.

Like other mutated creatures, human physique is changing rapidly to adapt to the harsh new era. The facts are more cruel and precise than any era to verify the correctness of the evolution theory of "sustainment in nature". The threat of death is constantly forcing humans to change the direction of evolution that continued from the old era. The new generation of humans have stronger fertility and faster development. From the appearance alone, girls born at the eleventh year old are equivalent to women in the twentieth year old in the old era. The growth and development speed of babies is significantly stronger than those of the same type before the outbreak of nuclear war. The physique possessed by a ten-year-old boy is equivalent to the development level of sixteen in a normal period. This is not an extremely special individual example, but a symptom that is common in all neo-generation humans, including those who walk out of shelter.

Not only development is the only thing that changes, but also women's childbirth time has been greatly shortened. The standard time for pregnancy has changed from 10 months in the old era to 6 months now, and the probability of multiple births has been greatly increased. This speed continues to accelerate. Under cruel natural conditions, humans, like other low-quality species, can only be forced to adjust their genes and use high yields and accelerated development to avoid population extinction. This is not the result of some drug or foreign hormones, but it is entirely based on the most basic biological instinct.

With the human race shortened its growth cycle and several times its fertility in the new era, the population of Yinyue Town can exceed 50,000 in ten years. With the dependence of wilderness refugees and other people migrating nearby areas, the increase in this number may continue to increase.

The abundant groundwater can meet the drinking needs of millions of people. The wilderness that has not been cultivated in the past century can provide maximum fertility for crops. Even in the case of rotation, Yinyue Town's ability to control the surrounding areas still exists. With a huge population base and armed forces, sufficient food and water, if 5,000 refugees are completely managed and integrated, the "Yingyue" place will not be just a small town, but a real city.

At least, it now has the most basic elements of becoming a city.

Lin Xiang stood on the tall alert tower, and from his perspective, he could see the fields cultivated in the distance. The seeds of wheat have been sown in the soil that was deeply rolled up underground. It is now mid-July, before the first snow falls in winter, you can harvest the last season of this year.

The strongest men among the refugees were divided into three batches, each carrying out stone mining, waterway expansion and house construction. Before the cold winter came, the groundwater pipe laying and house construction in the newly established residential areas must be completed. There is enough stone in the back mountain of Yinyue Town, and refugees who inherited the basic technology of the old era can build any style of living room. The only thing they lack is manpower.

Urban development requires funds, and Lin Xiang does not have this money. What he can do is to concentrate all the valuable things in the hands of refugees, buy and exchange them from other forces.

In addition to construction, the biggest problem before him is food.

When Lin Xiang came to Emma City again, the dusk was already drooping.

Every day, migrant migrants enter the city, but they will never choose night. Whether from the perspective of nature or pure thinking, words such as danger and evil are mostly on the opposite side of light. Even mutated creatures in the wilderness have much higher frequency of activity at night than during the day. Therefore, after nightfall, people's activities are all limited to buildings, which is to use the most streamlined and effective defense to resist the crisis of the wilderness night.

When I entered this city again, Lin Xiang felt a little different. It was less cold, more warm and familiar.

In the sand fortifications outside the auction hall, machine guns were high. The fully armed soldiers were patrolling around the cordon. The civilians, who were not covered in clothes, stood not far from the border, staring at the clean and neatly dressed people in the hall with their eyes full of greed and desire, while glancing at the few fresh corpses not far from the cordon and throwing them on the ground with fear.

Every day, there are several outsiders who don’t understand the rules like them. Maybe they are self-reliant, or they are arrogant and domineering, or they are hungry and lose the most basic judgment criteria. These guys like bulls always use the effective methods in the wilderness to use in the city. The civilians living near the cordon are too lazy to remind that the monotonous and boring life needs to be adjusted. Although such programs are bloody and violent, full of death, they are full of stimulation and vague expectations in their hearts. Especially when soldiers pick up the hands and feet of the dead and throw them out from the warning range, the civilians nearby who have been waiting will also flock to the ground, using knives and various handy tools to scramble to get a piece of fat or tender liver that they have already seen from the corpse.

There is not much food to eat in this world. In the old era, humans could sharpen their knives and rush toward pigs and sheep, but in the new era, pigs and sheep used humans as a feast. Driven by the tenacious desire to survive and biological instinct, there is actually nothing that cannot be eaten. The fundamentals that restrict behavioral consciousness and hand and foot kinetic energy, to put it bluntly, are just "moral" that stays on paper.

The night is very quiet.

Put on a wide and comfortable bath planer and slippers, satisfied Gliffiz picked up the "New Playboy" on the camera frame, looked at the light for a long time in the picture, and had just completed physiological fusion with himself. He turned his body and compared his soft breasts with his other breasts, muttering and cursing: "Mom, you're so big, it must be done by surgery."

Following the normal route, Gliffiz, who had taken a shower, should have walked through the office and entered the bedroom in the corner of the house. Just as he pushed open the door and was about to walk out, he was shocked by Lin Xiang, who was sitting at the desk.

He sat on a wide leather chair, and the soft light emitted by the table lamp shone on his agile and dazzling eyes. Deep in his pupils, there was a black gem-like light. His jade-colored face approached perfection, giving people a sense of peace and solemnity, just like an iceberg in the polar sea. If it were replaced by the old era, with appropriate publicity and packaging, it would be enough to become a young idol who was crazy about the girl.

"Do you always knock on the door when you enter someone else's room?" Gliffiz walked up to the closet unhappily, took out a bottle of red wine with the "lafite" pattern and a glass, poured it all over and drank it dry.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that your sexual orientation was so special." Lin Xiang looked at him with a smile, and his slender fingers gently tapped the tabletop rhythmically.

"It is very impolite to peek at others doing it." Gliffiz smacked, his face a little angry.

"Do?" Lin Xiang laughed, raised his right hand, and twisted his fingers under the light.

"Who is my freedom to do with? Do you have any control? What's the difference between a woman and a finger?" Gliffiz poured another glass of wine and poured it on his neck with anger.

"Where is that lace panties? It doesn't seem to belong to you. Where did you get it? If I'm right, it should stay in the wardrobe of a female employee in Sosbia, rather than wearing it on your butt like now." For some reason, Lin Xiang suddenly felt that the angry fat man in front of him was really interesting.

"Enough-"

The angry Gliffiz roared furiously: "This office only welcomes two kinds of people. The first is my friend, and the second is the customer who talks about business. You obviously are neither. So get out! The door is open, now, immediately-"

Lin Xiang smiled faintly without answering.

"I want to talk to you about business." His voice was as soft and beautiful as ever.

Gliffiz looked at him coldly, and after a long time, he shook his head helplessly: "You always bring me endless trouble, but I am very interested in the money in your pocket... You are a demon, but money is innocent. I cannot take my anger on these cute little guys because of your sins. Say it! What do you want to buy?"

"The main thing is various building materials and weapons, as well as gasoline. If possible, can you help me with a set of nuclear power transmission equipment?" Lin Xiang handed over a list that had been prepared long ago.

Gliffiz looked at the list carefully, his expression was very focused, but his brows slowly frowned.

"The materials and weapons are not a big problem, so I can allocate them to you now. The transportation of gasoline is a bit troublesome, and you must increase the cost by 2% based on the actual consumption based on the purchase quantity. As for nuclear power transmission equipment... this thing has almost never appeared in the market. As far as I know, the only big organization that can make this thing is the Skeleton Knights. But those cold guys never sell it to the outside world. If you can get the goods from them, I can give a very high purchase price."

Lin Xiang still maintained a subtle and elegant smile on his face. He nodded seriously: "In addition to these, I also need a batch of food. The quantity is very large."

Gliffiz was stunned, and suddenly a strange smile appeared in his eyes, which were squeezed into a slit by the fat flesh: "To be specific, how many do you need?"

"At least five hundred tons. Regardless of type and quality, as long as the quantity is sufficient." Lin Xiang narrowed his beautiful and black eyes slightly: "The price can be slightly higher. This is a good opportunity for you to make a lot of money."

Gliffiz's little eyes stared at him, and the fat on his face was twisted strangely. After a long time, he couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing out loud, shouting with heavy breathing from being pressed by fat: "I don't know what you should say. Do you really don't understand, or do you deliberately pretend to be confused with me?"

Lin Xiang saw him not speaking, his eyes were a little surprised, and more so, he was expected calm.

"You can buy any kind of supplies you need from me, but you can't buy food-"

With uncontrollable excitement, Glifiz, who finally gained the upper hand in conversation, seemed a little proud. He shook his glass: "Sosbia will not sell you a grain of grain, and that old guy Antonio is the same. You know what you have done in Flame City. That's a thousand civilians. The Luton family and the Ale Sandro family cannot give you a chance to develop. Either you kill all the civilians, or let them eat every grain of grain in your hand like vampires. Not only Emma, ​​you can buy more than ten kilograms of food in any city or settlement in the surrounding area. Of course, if you go further, go through the heavy radiation area west, and contact other families, you may get what you need. But doing that is very dangerous. Not to mention, the oil cost of round-trip transportation is enough to make you bankrupt."

Lin Xiang looked at Gliffiz with a gloomy face and said lightly: "What about you? How many can you sell to me?"

"Don't you understand what I said? Or is there something wrong with your understanding and thinking? I can't..."

As soon as he said this, Gliffiz had already noticed the point of targeting the other party's words. He took a deep breath, and his radiant face became gloomy: "You mean... I'll sell it to you?"

"That's right!"

Lin Xiang nodded seriously: "This transaction only involves you and me, and has nothing to do with Ferdinand or Sosbia."

The words are short and the words are not many. But the meaning is clear enough.

Gliffiz subconsciously licked his lips, poured all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said in a deep voice, "This is a big deal. Once it is discovered... you should be very clear about the consequences."

"I have said just now - I can give you a very high price." Lin Xiang's eyes were as bright as the morning star, and his expression was confident.

Gliffiz's little eyes were turning quickly, and the fat on his face twitched due to excitement and tension. After thinking for a long time, he solemnly stretched out five fingers.

"Impossible. I'll give you three times the price at most." Lin Xiang flatly refused: "Besides, you know, I don't have that much money."

"I would rather not take this deal than five times. I must make plans for the future. Ferdinand and Sosbia will never let me go. If they find out, I have to run far away. You know how much I love this city, the people here respect me, I live a happy life... Mom, I regret promising to do this thing for you. Five times, the price is too low. If I don't accept it now, I will change my mind immediately. Six times, seven times, or even ten times. This is not an ordinary transaction, but a bet on futures and life - as for money... the trucks you have in your hands are much more valuable than any banknote."

It should be admitted that Gliffiz does have extraordinary talent in bargaining.

Lin Xiang's eyes flashed and he began to think. After a long time, he finally nodded slowly.
