V1.Chapter 177

Hearing the peddler's sincere answer, the man was obviously moved.

There are not many people like this young peddler in the world now.

However, what the peddler said was true, but the middle-aged man still had doubts.

Because, the oak tree species on the market are almost hard to see now, and even if there are, many merchants will immediately take them away and seize them with rare goods.

The reason these merchants took all the acorns on the market was either because they were hoarding oak seed for sale.

Either contract a large amount of land and start planting oak species on a large scale.

How can selling acorns make money faster than selling oak saplings?

Now on the market, the price of a 20-centimeter-high oak tree sapling has exceeded one thousand dollars.

Almost fifteen times the price of acorns on the market.

Such a large profit would drive many people crazy.

And if there are more oak trees, if any oak tree undergoes a mutation, the price will naturally be even more exaggerated.

So, nowadays, the oak tree species in the market are almost hard to see.

Although officials in America and various countries are now making legislation to nationalize oak trees, all of these legislations have met with protests from the public without exception.

The appeal of the people is also very simple, that is, we have no means of self-protection in the face of Ziyue's sudden crisis. Isn't it okay to seek a little psychological comfort on ordinary oak trees?

Is the move of the official state-owned oak tree too shameless?

This outcry has never been louder, especially online.

Blind pressure will cause accidents, and the oak tree incident also involves god-followed creatures after all, so countries have not yet taken any decent measures against this type of tree.

But even so, the officials of various countries have begun to spend a lot of money to buy acorns and saplings from the private sector, and it is precisely because of this that the prices of acorns and oak saplings on the market have been copied so high, which is also a large part of the credit of the officials of various countries '.

The middle-aged man looked at the peddler and asked suspiciously: "I'm curious, if you really have acorns, why do you come here to sell acorns? And it's so cheap?"

"After all, you only need to post the sale information online. I think there will be many people willing to pay a high price to buy it."

When the man said this, he obviously began to doubt.

He suspected that what the peddler in front of him said before was just to win his trust, to make himself think that he was a conscience, and then let go of his guard to buy his fake acorns.

There is nothing new about counterfeit acorns appearing on the Internet.

With huge profits, artificial fake acorns can almost be faked. If you don’t break open the acorn, it is difficult for you to find out what is wrapped in the acorn shell.

As long as the shell of the fake acorn can be colored, the camouflage is actually very simple.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to distinguish with the naked eye.

Seeing the man's suspicion, the peddler smiled as if he had expected it.

The peddler looked around at the flow of people and found that no one was paying special attention to him, so he took out a small card from his pocket.

"Sir, it is definitely unreasonable to buy acorns at a low price, so please take a look at this, sir. If you want, I can sell you ten real acorns for fifty dollars, absolutely no fake."

Hearing what the peddler said, the man looked at his wife with some doubts, and then took the card.

Then the card that caught his eye made the man stunned for a moment.

Then, the man gave the peddler a meaningful look, and then carefully read all the words on the front and back of the card.

"Doomsday Mutual Aid Society?"

"It seems that you have been eyeing our husband and wife for a long time?"

The man smiled at this moment, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

To this, the hawker immediately bowed and apologized immediately.

"Mr. Martin, I'm sorry, we have no choice but to do so. You also know that the government is currently suppressing organizations that form groups without permission. If we don't do this, I think it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves."

"The Ziyue disaster is so great that everything the politicians say is no longer credible. We are just a group of people seeking self-protection. We have absolutely no intention of confronting the authorities, nor do we have any intention of doing dangerous things. We just organized in advance And start building shelters."

"The cost of the entire refuge is definitely not a small number, nor can it be completed overnight, so at this time we have to find some people with small achievements to join."

"I think, Mr. Martin, you need such an opportunity very much. I don't think this is a bad thing for you."

The peddler spoke in a low voice, while Martin and his wife were lost in thought.

Indeed, the current Blue Star is already very dangerous, and the officials must have concealed something.

Things like forming groups and building shelters are no longer uncommon topics on the Internet.

It's just that countries are now controlling such remarks that exacerbate social panic.

The construction of shelters has not been officially banned, but associations will still be suppressed and held accountable.

"Is the shelter really useful? Even if you build the shelter underground, I think it's hard not to have horrible creatures that can move underground given the weirdness of the purple moon creatures."

Finally, Martin asked such a question that he was very concerned about.

For Martin's inquiry, the peddler just responded with a helpless expression.

"Mr. Martin, of course there are various risks in the shelter, but at least we won't be exposed to the direct threats of Ziyue radiation and Ziyue creatures."

"And I think as long as you build a thick enough and strong underground fortress, you should still be able to prevent most of the dangers from happening."

"Furthermore, god-followed creatures have appeared in this world today, and powerful god-followed humans may also appear. We build shelters just to ensure that the initial stage of the disaster will not let us say goodbye to this world prematurely."

"No one knows exactly how. Even if the final result won't be too long, at least we have all done what we can."

"Compared to waiting for death, compared to blindly expecting officials and god-followed creatures to protect us, this kind of preparation is still necessary."

"You must know that there are more rich and powerful people in this world than us, and those who are most closely entangled with the interests of gods and creatures are only those politicians and rich people, and those of us who are middle-level or even bottom-level people, who will be abandoned? ?”

"No one wants to become an abandoned child, and no one wants to wait for death to live a precarious life. Now that the supplies are still abundant and the society is still stable, it would be too foolish for us not to prepare."

The earnestness of the peddler touched Martin for a moment.

As the peddler said.

This world is overpopulated, facing Ziyue, how many people can the creatures of the gods save? How long can the authorities maintain the confrontation?

No one knows, and no one can guess.

Therefore, after the peddler said everything sincerely, Martin and his wife seemed very moved.

Martin is not considered a rich man, at least in America, his worth of 20 to 30 million US dollars is really nothing.

Therefore, when faced with the sincere invitation from the hawker, he was moved.

However, the heart is moved, but Martin still needs to have a deeper understanding of the organization's structure and current situation.

So, watch the hawkers.

Martin finally made up his mind and said:

"Okay, I admit that I was moved by you, but I hope to know the general situation of your organization. Let's find a quiet place to talk?"

As soon as Martin said this, a smile appeared on the peddler's face.

"Honored."

The peddler said so, and Martin and his wife looked at each other, and then planned to leave the street outside the park with the peddler.

However, just when the three of them were about to leave, suddenly, in the park, there was a sudden high-pitched exclamation.

And at the same time as this exclamation, Martin just turned around, and immediately felt the ground trembling continuously.

"My God? An earthquake?"

Countless people outside the street shouted in surprise, and all ran to the center of the road to avoid it.

However, at the same time as this shaking, Martin turned his head and saw it.

In the park, an oak tree on the side of the road suddenly increased in height.

At the same time, farther away, the Jurupa oak tree, which was originally like a 100-meter building, suddenly stretched its branches and leaves around in an exaggerated manner and grew more rapidly.

And at the same time that these oak trees grew suddenly without warning, extremely dazzling halos appeared on the tops of these oak trees.

Some of these halos are big and some are small, but all of them are thick white like white clouds.

At the same time, the sky near the park seemed to be a little darker in an instant.

It looked as if most of the light from the sun in the sky was absorbed by the halos on the tops of the countless oak trees at this moment, taking away the light and heat.

The shaking of the ground continued.

Some of the people were dumbfounded, while others were already cheering and shouting.

This is not the first time that the vision of the oak tree has appeared. There have been many videos published on the Internet.

But it was indeed the first time that it was as intense and strange as this time.

At this time, it was no longer the same as before, because people all knew about the god-followed creatures, so they all associated it with the gods when the oak tree changed dramatically.

Therefore, the sudden change and rapid growth of the oak tree naturally caused countless people around to cheer and pray devoutly.

In the park, the young people who were jumping out of their hearts kept screaming, while the middle-aged and elderly people who were calm and confident were praying when they regained their senses.

They pray in various ways, some draw the cross on their chests, some just hold hands on their chests, and some kneel down and prostrate continuously.

Looking at the park, the oak tree continued to grow amid the roar of the ground, and soon passed behind a nearby building that was nearly 150 meters high.

Martin and the peddler beside him had already looked straight at him.

"For God's sake, this was a worthwhile trip. I was just happy to get a ticket to see the miraculous oak trees. I didn't expect us to see such a miracle. It's so exciting. "

Martin's wife said excitedly, and quickly made prayer gestures.

As for Martin and the peddler, the two of them quickly made a prayer gesture as they looked at each other.
