Chapter 31： trade

Neither Ye Xuan nor Ling Jiaze were procrastinators. Since they decided to leave the base and head north, they didn't delay too much. That night, Ye Xuan planned a feasible route based on the maps in his hand and the memories of his previous life, and Ling Jiaze also resigned to Lieutenant Colonel Li the next morning, saying that the two would leave the base early tomorrow morning. Go north.

Although Lieutenant Colonel Li felt a bit regretful, he really couldn't tell the difference. Seeing Ling Jiaze's resolute attitude that he didn't need someone to protect him, he could only send him some supplies to show his affection. I hope this young master is with his family. After the reunion, he can remember the person who has benefited him.

Ling Jiaze said goodbye to him. When he left the Survivor Center, he saw Ye Xuan who was waiting outside. He walked over quickly and asked, "Why did you come out? Didn't you say you would sleep more?"

Ye Xuan studied the map until midnight last night. Ling Jiaze couldn't help him, so he could only take over the matter of going to Lieutenant Colonel Li this morning, and try to get up and go out in the morning as lightly as possible, so as not to wake Ye Xuan.

As a result, it was not long before he came out, and Ye Xuan came. After calculating, the time difference between the two of them was not much different, and it was obvious that they didn't make up for their sleep.

"I woke up by myself as soon as it was dawn. The biological clock is hard to change. I just need to go to bed early tonight." Ye Xuan handed Ling Jiaze the sandwich and thermos cup he was holding and said, "I saw you when I went out. Let’s get hot, I brought you something to eat. Let’s put it on first, and I’ll cook for you when I go back at noon.”

Ling Jiaze took it and took a sip of the hot milk tea in the thermos cup, feeling his whole body warmed up. He squinted his eyes unconsciously, relaxed like a big lazy cat, and said, "Aren't we going to go home directly?"

"It's a rare trip. I heard that the base has a small trading area, and I'm going to take a look." Ye Xuan pointed to the travel bag he was carrying, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "You know what I have before I received a batch of supplies, and I want to exchange something."

Ye Xuan has a lot of good things in his hand, and the supplies he collected before the end of the world are enough for him and Ling Jiaze to use them for a lifetime. In addition, he also swept several large unmanned warehouses, which greatly enriched his inventory. He didn't plan to take out these things that had not been contaminated by zombies at all, but prepared them for his own use. After all, it would be no problem to support him and Ling Jiaze for the rest of their lives, plus his grandfather's family was probably enough.

What he is going to take out now for exchange is the food he collected from the supermarket shelves after the end of the world. Those rice, noodles and vegetables are not stained with zombie blood. There is no problem with human consumption, but they are after all in an environment full of zombies. After so many days, it's not too new, Ye Xuan still won't touch it if he has a choice.

Who gave him a better choice and hypocritical capital?

But just like what he thought when he was collecting supplies, these things are also in short supply now. As long as the food that is not stained with zombie blood is something that everyone competes for in the base, compared to the ones he can take out Things are still of better quality.

Ye Xuan, who felt that he was a conscientious businessman, walked with Ling Jiaze to the trading area and said, "No one knows about the space except you. If we don't take too much, we will take the same amount as our car. Come out for exchange. The most lacking thing in the base is food. I think we can use instant noodles, rice noodles, etc. for some seasonings and medicines, or some conspicuous things. It can not only enrich our inventory, but also help a little bit. Hit them."

After arriving at the base, everything on Ling Jiaze's car was moved to the house where he lives now, and even the oil in the car was drained and stored. The two of them were full of cars before, and they were capable superhumans, and now it was not inconvenient for them to go out to buy something.

A strong man always has the confidence that he can survive no matter where he is. The most important food for ordinary people is really not the first in the eyes of those who have the ability.

Ling Jiaze's eyes lit up after hearing his decision. He wanted to help others, but he didn't know how to handle it. Now the method that Ye Xuan proposed was just right. The two of them are not short of basic food such as rice and noodles. They can use these to find some useful things for those struggling on the line of food and clothing. It is indeed a good way to benefit others and self.

Ye Xuan looked at his obviously happy look, and rubbed his hair with a smile. He has enough things in his hands, and it is not bad to take it out and replace it with the little boy next to him.

—

Because there is no unified currency in the base, the currency before the end of the world has basically become waste paper without purchasing power, and most of the trading areas are still the most primitive barter. And because the base construction is incomplete, there are no unified rules and regulations in this trading area. The purchase and sale are all personal, and the base is only responsible for arranging patrols to ensure that there is no such thing as open robbery here, and the rest are ignored.

Here, the fascinating gold and silver jewelry before the end of the world has become waste, and its value is far less than a sharp knife; the designer's carefully designed big-name clothing has lost its value, and a dozen pieces of clothing are not comparable to each other. A cotton coat that can really keep warm; skin care products have lost all their halo, and whether they can eat or not has become the only measure...

Food, medicine, and warm clothes are the three things that are in short supply in this trading area.

As for the only hard currency crystal nucleus in the future, because now people only know that this thing may be useful, but can't find a suitable way to purify the energy inside, and there is a huge gap in the eyes of different people. Those who are far-sighted and don’t have much shortage of things in their hands will think about collecting the last batch of crystal cores as a spare, while those who pay more attention to the immediate interests are disdainful of the things in the zombie’s mind that they don’t know if they are useful or not. The attitude gap is quite different. obvious.

Ye Xuan found an empty booth, took out a few packs of compressed biscuits from his bag, put them in front of him, took out a few packs of instant noodles, and began to wait for customers to come.

This is what Ye Xuan thought about when he went out. This year, they are all best-sellers. The two of them either cook by themselves on weekdays, or eat the steamed buns made before, and rarely eat them directly. Compressed biscuits, instant noodles are eaten very little, just take them out for something.

Because the physique of the supernatural beings is relatively good, Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze only wore a slim down jacket to keep warm in the environment of minus ten degrees. Extraordinarily conspicuous. Coupled with the fact that the two of them are not as yellow and skinny as those in the post-apocalyptic period, the clothes are dirty and old, and it is even more noticeable. From the time the two of them entered the trading area, many people's eyes were swirling around the two of them, trying to distinguish their abilities and identities.

Now that they have just sat in the booth, someone is ready to pay attention to the movement here. When he looked at the things he took out of his bag, he immediately surrounded him—these are instant noodles and compressed biscuits, which are easy to store and easy to eat. How long have you not seen them in the trading area? !

After waiting for a while, seeing that Ye Xuan was just taking things out of his bag, and Ling Jiaze next to him only ate sandwiches and didn't speak, a tall bald man finally couldn't help but asked: "Little brothers, you instant noodles and How do you sell compressed biscuits?"

Ye Xuan looked up and saw that there were enough people. He smiled and said, "Five nuclei for a pack of instant noodles, and twenty nuclei for a pack of compressed biscuits." One compressed biscuit or one pack of instant noodles is enough for one adult to eat. Yes, the instant noodles he took out were all individually packaged, and a pack of compressed biscuits had five pieces. After all, compressed biscuits were relatively affordable.

And as far as he had learned along the way, the exchange ratio of crystal cores and instant noodles in the trading area is almost ten to one, and he even took a 50% discount.

When the bald man heard this, he asked in surprise: "It's so cheap? The crystal core is the thing in the zombie's mind? You only accept this?"

Seeing that the people around him were also curious about this question, Ye Xuan said, "Only crystal nuclei are accepted."

A young woman next to him saw that he was only interested in the crystal nucleus, and her mind moved, she asked, "What's the use of this crystal nucleus that you changed?"

Ye Xuan looked innocent, spread his hands and said, "I don't know, I am an ability user, and I want to get some crystal cores to study."

This man didn't give up and went to see Ling Jiaze again. As a result, Ling Jiaze still had a paralyzed face and looked like he was refusing to be thousands of miles away, which made people unconsciously stop trying to find out some news from him.

Ling Jiaze had heard Ye Xuan talking about this before. The amount of his ability that can be purified is only enough for the two of them to use. Any more will delay Ye Xuan's progress in absorbing the crystal core, so he will help the base. It is unrealistic for the survivors to purify the crystal core.

And as far as Ye Xuan knew, the only ability that could purify the crystal nucleus was his Wood Element, and there were also partial abilities such as light, healing, and purification that appeared later than mutant plants. In City C, he is such a wood-type ability user. In order to prevent himself from being detained here by the base, Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze had discussed it before. The big secret that he can purify the crystal core will have to wait for them to arrive in City B. Or reveal it when the Northwest is ready to live for a long time.

Exposing it now will only make Ye Xuan detained by a certain force to serve them exclusively.

Ye Xuan has lived his life unrestrainedly, and it makes no sense to limit himself after rebirth, right?

Seeing that she couldn't find anything, the young woman snorted displeasedly and said, "A power user is amazing? It's not rare for this lady to know about it!"

"What about him! Little brother, give me three packs of instant noodles." Because of Ye Xuan's notice, the bald man took out all the crystal cores when he killed the zombies. He would have a lot of crystal cores in his hands. He neatly counted fifteen transparent crystal nuclei from his pocket. He pointed to the instant noodles on the stall and asked, "Can I choose the flavor myself?"

"Okay!" Although he said that he didn't pay much attention to the brand and taste when he received it, but it doesn't make sense to ask others to pay attention to it, right? After all, as far as Ye Xuan knew, instant noodles with several flavors were so unpalatable that one wondered why such things existed.

The people around saw that the bald man really exchanged fifteen crystal cores for three packs of instant noodles, and when they saw him open the package and inspected the goods, they were finally sure that Ye Xuan was not a scam, and immediately began to queue up to exchange crystal cores for food. of.

Hey, if I knew there would be such a little brother who buys instant noodles, they must not sell the crystal nucleus to those people.

Big loss!

I've been addicted to snail lion powder recently. If I didn't eat this before, I really missed a big treasure.

Last time, I bought a small brand of instant noodles with a very strange taste. It was terrible. Thank you to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
