Chapter 130 Sales
Judging from the map left by Liu Yuchen, the 24th City of Life is about 400 kilometers northwest of Yinyue City.
The "Doctors Association" is a very large organization with tentacles extending to almost every corner of the world. With the actual manpower they have, of course it is impossible to spread the entire network so wide. In fact, the licensed doctors who have been officially recognized by the association and issued relevant certificates are only one or two in each large and medium-sized settlement. However, the radiation effect brought by these doctors is quite amazing. In addition to the indispensable medical technology, the most popular thing is actually expensive enhancement agents.
In this era of no order, the army and armed forces are the fundamental for the survival of all forces. Training, weapons and strengthening potions are the biggest difference between elite soldiers and ordinary armed civilians. A small number of natural evolutionary psychics cannot meet the requirements of various major forces. They can only take out a large amount of resources and exchange a considerable amount of potions with the Joint Association of Doctors, creating a batch of strongly powerful strengthening soldiers. However, due to many restrictions on funds and human acceptance, the vast majority of the members of the army are strengthened people of level 2 to 3.
The Joint Doctors Association has never released research data on this. Decades are enough to allow some potential secrets to surface. The radiation world is not as irrelevant as in the old days, with all kinds of inexplicable theories and data to make a name for themselves. People can use their own eyes and experience to find answers from every tiny change around them.
Lin Xiang's purpose of going to City of Life No. 24 is very clear.
First: He needs a batch of fortification potions.
Second: According to the time agreed with Liu Yuchen, he could find a new Ying Jia from that distant city.
The flying dust and sultry heat gradually became dim under the heavy twilight. More and more hopper insects appeared in the cool air. Judging from their size and appearance, they were likely to be variants of the old mosquitoes and flies who liked blood-rotten insects. Compared with those ancient ancestors, their bodies were larger, their wings were stronger, their sharp mouthparts were harder, and some even evolved palates as sharp as scissors. These dirty creatures, like humans, carry parasitic viruses in their bodies. The completely different body structures have also changed the characteristics of the virus. They like to eat blood-rotten, and while sucking blood on the surface of the human body, they will also release more intense hemolytic substances than mosquitoes in the old era. Fearing the sun, they can unscrupulously find everything that can be used as food in the dark. Once entangled by these guys, adults will experience physiological shock in a short period of time, and eventually become fresh meat they bite and eat.
The wilderness at night is actually more terrifying and dangerous than the ruins.
The roar of the engine spread far in the heavy twilight. Following the route and direction marked by Liu Yuchen on the map, the off-road vehicle that deliberately suppressed the speed and slowly drove into a small settlement called "Reed Town" recorded on the map.
The town is not large in size. Except for a few mixed brick and wood buildings that are obviously built or used on the ruins of the village, the remaining houses are the same as other refugee settlements - they are nailed together with thin iron sheets and wooden boards to form simple walls, and are laid with tied dead grass or used felt boards and tiles, and are simply built, with low-style huts and air leaking from all sides.
The high-power strong lights shone on the hard and hard earth surface, showing a bright and dazzling white halo. Walking horizontally through the only rammed earth road surface in the town, the off-road vehicle stopped next to a small house with a bar sign, and the overall appearance was somewhat complete.
The arrival of strange outsiders quickly attracted attention among the residents of the settlement. A group of ragged people walked out of the shed, and they did not hide their greedy eyes. The wilderness residents' standards for judging strength are usually measured by the other party's appearance. Lin Xiang's exquisite texture and exquisite workmanship has exceeded the most common perception of clothes by the refugees. The huge and heavy armed off-road vehicle is enough to prove the ability of this man. Such equipment can only be seen in powerful advanced evolutionists or those with heavy power.
People can make instinctive reactions based on rational judgments, but the strong desire for possessiveness in the subconscious often suppresses rational thinking and prompts subjective thinking to make abnormal actions.
There is only one outsider, and the absolute advantage in quantity may be able to make up for the shortcomings in strength.
Of course, it's just maybe.
A man with an old-fashioned gunpowder in his hand walked up and said without a smile: "Hi! Boy, I need the beautiful clothes on you. If you don't want to make two holes in your butt, you'd better..."
"Click--"
No one saw Lin Xiang's movements clearly. The man's screams and the crisp sound of bones caught everyone's attention. When countless pairs of eyes followed the route of the coming and returned to the off-road vehicle, they were surprised to find that the gunpowder gun originally held in the man's hand had fallen into Lin Xiang's hand at some point.
The thick barrel quickly deformed and bent between the slender and white fingers. The terrible force squeezed the hard metal, and the straight gun body twisted like a twist, making a "squeaking" moan.
The people with bad expressions began to show fear on their faces, and their shaking throats were heard from time to time. They stared at Lin Xiang in amazement, ravaging the mixture of metal and wood in their hands as if they were pinching mud. Soon, the complete gun completely became unrecognizable. It was pinched to the size of a football, and the black gunpowder did not explode due to squeezing and explosion as imagined, but was exposed from the broken tube wall, scattered on the ground, piled into a slightly pointed shape of a ball.
The crowd was dead silent. Even the injured man opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene that scared him in disbelief.
This is no longer something that simple power can do. Obviously, this strange young man must have some kind of special abilities of a closed nature. Regardless of the specific scope and stage of this ability, this person is not the object he can provoke.
Carrying his backpack and locking the car door, Lin Xiang walked into the bar with a calm expression.
He did not take the man's life, but just pulled the other person's arm hard. People in the wilderness have their own rules and lifestyles. As long as they show enough strength and strength, they will be very proactive in keeping a safe distance from you. Without touching their bottom line, meaningless killing is not only unnecessary, but at some point, it will also cause more trouble.
Lin Xiang just wanted to find a safe enough place to spend the night. Or, it should be said, to get rid of this dark night away from the threat of the wilderness.
Almost every settlement has a tavern. They inherit all the basic characteristics left over from the old era. In such places, many information that cannot be collected through normal channels can be found. Of course, a large part of this information is deliberately fabricated and used to defraud resources and money. But it is undeniable that taverns are indeed the easiest place in the world to communicate.
Not all taverns can buy wine. The lack of food sources makes it impossible for people in the wilderness to take out too much food for brewing. In fact, the "wine" sold in many taverns belongs to liquids mixed with alcohol. The prosperity of the old era made a large amount of aged wine buried in ruins and the once human gathering places. These mellow liquids with long-lasting ages have become the pillars of the normal business of most taverns.
Like all bars, the tavern in Luwei Town is not in sufficient light. Under the dim wall lights, there are more than a dozen simple tables and chairs. There are many people, and most of them focus on cups, liquids and topics of interest to each other. A woman who is almost wearing little clothes, is not beautiful, and has a too fat figure hugged a man tightly in the corner and kissed passionately. Judging from the movements and postures of both parties, it is hard to say who is more proactive. However, the two fat and round butts are indeed very attractive. From time to time, someone walks by, pinching them with one hand or another, which stimulates the woman to tremble all over, and the movements in her hands and mouth become more wild.
Lin Xiang sat down at a table against the wall and casually ordered a vegetable soup and a bottle of wine. The most numerous foods in the settlement are mostly meat of unknown origin. You can never tell from the shape of the chopped meat pieces on the plate that they originate from mutated creatures or humans. Instead of eating something that should not be eaten for no reason, it is better not to eat it. As for wine... if you want to stay in the tavern overnight, this is an essential prop.
He took out two pieces of currency issued by Ferdinand for payment of accounts. The thin bar owner said he would not accept such things. Although it is close to the edge of Ferdinand's sphere of influence, for people who do not have the ability to travel through the moderate radiation zone, they would rather get something practical than money.
With a wry smile, Lin Xiang took out a few five-point five-six millimeter rifle bullets from his pocket. The boss, whose eyes were shining, hesitated for a moment and carefully put away two of them. Although he wanted to take away all the remaining bullets on the table, in the end, he only charged enough portions to pay for the wine.
He is smart and has eyesight and knows not to offend people he shouldn't be offended easily.
Take out a piece of cornbread from the backpack, break off a corner, put it in the warm vegetable soup and dip it in your mouth and chew it slowly. As for the bottle of light drinks that were obviously mixed with alcohol and water, Lin Xiang was really not interested.
“The weather was really good tonight.”
A tall and thin man walked to the table, bowed, pointed to the vacant chair next to him and smiled, "Is that OK?"
He was wearing a black linen coat, his thin arms naturally drooped on his chest, and his shoulders were carrying a half-bulging and slightly deflated pocket.
In the wilderness, there is a relatively special profession - "underground trader".
They are different from ordinary merchants. To be precise, they should be intermediaries who use the information they have, to communicate, consult and assist in the completion of the transaction. There are several such guys in all gathering places. They are flexible in mind and have connections with each other, and they know most of the information inside and around the gathering place. Some powerful underground traders even have independent private armed forces and guards. They are not necessarily the direct owners of the goods, but each transaction must be carried out through their permission and connections before they can continue. They are as obsessed with profits and profits, and can match anyone for profits and benefits.
This is actually a profession similar to salesmen in the old era. They have unique vision and a keen sense of smell, and never miss any opportunity to make money. Obviously, the uninvited guy in front of him is an underground trader.
Lin Xiang nodded, moved the soup plate toward him without saying a word.
He lifted up the cover cloth covering his head to reveal a thin and young face. The yellowish and white skin showed that he belonged to the Asian race. The high raised eyebrows set off his broad forehead. With two cheekbones that stretched forward violently, deep and smart eyes flashed from time to time in the sunken black eyeballs. In short, this is a handsome and very popular little white face.
The only flaw is that it is too thin.
"Hello, my name is Hongli."
With a passionate smile, the man stretched out his right hand generously. Seeing Lin Xiang ignoring his slightest sense of attention, he was not embarrassed. His extended arm drew a circle in the air and naturally placed it back on the table. Judging from the smoothness and proficiency of the movements, it was obvious that this was not the first guest to reject him.
"One is always a little lonely outside. Especially for a long-distance man, a warm and soft bed, plus a young and beautiful girl, can allow you to spend a night full of beautiful memories."
As he said that, Hongli leaned forward and stared at Lin Xiang, without hiding his purpose at all: "There are a few very good virgins in this town. They are good-looking, clean, and have no radiation disease. I can introduce you for free, and the price is very cheap. If it is Ferdinand's banknotes, they can be handled with two hundred yuan."
“I have no interest in women.”
After swallowing a sip of bread, Lin Xiang raised his head: "If you have other more valuable goods, I can take a look."
Most underground traders have some information and resources that outsiders do not know. Of course, their sources are the same as those engaged in this type of profession, and they must be kept in sight.
Hongli smiled and reached out to take out a plastic hose the size of a finger from his pocket: "So... how about this?"
Looking at the hose he placed on the table, Lin Xiang's face changed instantly, and he immediately returned to normal. Just staring at Hongli, there was a rare sharpness and coldness appearing in his eyes.
It was a hose that could tear the seal from the side. Through the packaging on the surface, you could see that it contained about ten milliliters of light blue liquid. The sharp raised part at the front end of the tube mouth was connected to a short disinfection needle. In short, this is a disposable syringe.
In the radiation era, there were two very famous things. One was the enhancement agent made by the doctors' association, and the other was the blue hose placed in front of Lin Xiang. It had a very loud name - "Jet".
This is a powerful stimulant extracted from mutant infant millet. Like drugs in the old days, Jeter stimulates the nerve center to cause hallucinations and pleasure. The duration of its effect varies depending on the concentration of the drug itself. Taking Jeter on the table as an example, as a case study, which is light and slightly blue in color, it is obviously a defective product made after two or even three times of blending. Its time to exert its efficacy is only about three to five minutes.
Many large institutions will use Jet as strategic materials for reserve. Within the effective time, it can stimulate the user to enter a semi-crazy state. The strength, speed, brain response is greatly improved, and the nervous system's pain will also slow down to a numb state. However, this kind of thing has strong side effects. Once the excitement time passes, the user will experience atrophy, fatigue, and even physical disability within 24 hours. In severe cases, it may directly cause paralysis of the central nervous system. The only cure is to continue to take more "Jet" within the specified time.
