Text Chapter 536: Bullets for food - being cheated

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Mu Yuan was not stupid enough to ask what "causing chaos" meant and the consequences of "causing chaos" - he took off his helmet and gloves honestly and gave them to the young man next to him before putting on his own clothes.  .

    When he touched his pocket, the bullet was still there.

    This bullet was found by Wang Lu. After analysis, the two of them believed that a homeless man who fled to a survivor settlement should always bring something valuable with him. In the end of the world, bullets and food are undoubtedly the most precious things.  , but food is inconvenient to carry, so bullets are better.  This was especially true when Wang Lu observed that the sentries on the village wall were holding firearms.

    But Mu Yuan did not expect that although the sentries acted rudely, they did not steal his bullets.

    After Wang Lu stood up, she said respectfully to the person next to her: "Master, where can I find something to eat?"

    The man did not deliberately embarrass an outsider like him. He pointed and said, "Did you see the sign of the Senior Activity Center? You can find what you need there."

    Mu Yuan carefully lowered the high wall. He looked at the village. This village had obviously undergone rural urbanization transformation. It was more like a community than a village. The houses were all villa-style, and there were people moving inside from time to time.

    Mu Yuan paid attention as he walked towards the sign for the Senior Activity Center. After he entered the village, he had already seen more than 20 people, including women and children. This settlement was not much worse than Yashan.

    There was a thick cotton curtain hanging at the door of the Senior Activity Center. As soon as Mu Yuan opened the curtain, a burst of hot air hit his face, followed by the noise of people.

    Mu Yuan saw that the senior activity center looked like a small restaurant. There was a stove in the innermost part, and tables and chairs outside. There was also a stove in the middle of the room, with a pot of water sitting on it, and it was steaming.  .

    It was evening.  It was meal time, and most of the seats in the restaurant were full. I was eating when I saw an outsider coming in at the door.  All turned their faces.

    Being stared at by so many people, Mu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly bent over to them, but everyone just glanced at him and turned around to eat and drink.

    Mu Yuan was stunned, then found an empty table and sat down, luckily.  Soon someone came to greet him.

    A round-faced girl wearing an apron came over: "Are you the survivor who was just rescued by Da Liu and the others?"

    Mu Yuan did not expect that the sentry on the wall would have notified this place so quickly, most likely through the intercom. He murmured: "Yes."

    The round-faced girl smiled: "Did Liu and the others strip you naked? It's okay. Survivors who come to the village will be inspected like this. The fortress came to inform that the intelligent zombies are becoming more and more cunning. Some intelligent zombies are becoming more and more cunning."  They will even disguise themselves as humans and sneak into settlements, so any outsider will be inspected like this."

    Fortress!  Sure enough, this survivor settlement is connected to the fort.  It seems that taking this risk on your own is well worth it.

    Mu Yuan immediately laughed: "Oh, it's a warning from the fortress." He added stiffly: "I've been hanging out alone, and I've only heard of the fortress. I haven't dealt with them yet."

    The round-faced girl said: "You are quite courageous. Do you have any special powers? There are not many people left alone nowadays."

    Mu Yuan shook his head: "I don't have any special powers. I'm just lucky. I hide from zombies to make a living."

    The round-faced girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "I say, then you should just stay in our village instead of running around alone. Although our village does not have electricity as much as some villages, the food and drink control is not as good as  It¡¯s better for you to fool around alone.¡±

    Mu Yuan didn¡¯t expect this round-faced girl to find a partner so quickly. I guess she was already familiar with it.  But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. The most precious thing nowadays is manpower. A man as big as Mu Yuan is welcome wherever he goes.

    Mu Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you, eldest sister, it's just that I've been looking for a missing family member." This is an excuse.  This was what Wang Lu and Mu Yuan had thought about in advance. After all, no sane person would wander around when zombies are everywhere. Looking for missing family members is a relatively normal reason, and it can make Mu Yuan look like a normal person.  Emphasizing affection and righteousness can add a lot of impression points and favorability.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The round-faced girl immediately looked at Mu Yuan sympathetically: "Oh, I am not saying that to be depressing, these days, it is no harder to find a lost relative than to find a needle in a haystack."

    Mu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Let's do everything we do and obey fate." In the past, Mu Yuan would not have been able to say such elegant words to death, but during this period of time, he followed the actor Wang Lu, and he also learned a little bit about the style of a literary young man.

    The round-faced girl sighed and then remembered her serious life: "What do you want to eat?"

    Mu Yuan¡¯s testHe murmured: "Is eating here free?"

    The round-faced girl smiled and said: "How is that possible? If you settle in our village, you can eat and drink for free, but now of course you have to pay."

    Mu Yuan asked: "In exchange for what?" He was not stupid enough to ask how much it would cost.

    The round-faced girl asked: "What do you have on your body that can be exchanged for?"

    Mu Yuan took out a handful of bullets from his pocket.

    The round-faced girl took a look and said: "These bullets can be exchanged for something before, but since the fortress supplied ammunition, it is not as popular as before. Well, I won't take advantage of you, two bullets for a bowl  How about rice?"

    Mu Yuan nodded.

    The round-faced girl took the bullets by herself, and soon brought a bowl of rice. Mu Yuan lowered his head and saw that it was a bowl of sweet potato rice, with sweet potatoes accounting for more than half of it.

    While eating, Mu Yuan raised his ears to listen to the conversation on the table next to him. After listening for a long time, he found nothing. The topic of conversation was nothing more than killing a few more zombies yesterday. A corner of the greenhouse in the field collapsed due to snow. Outside,  The number of wild dog groups increased again and so on.

    There is nothing about the fortress or the vaccine research base.

    Mu Yuan frowned, this is not a good sign. If there is a vaccine, this will definitely be the central topic of everyone's discussion.

    At this moment, a word came from the next table: "The price of bullets has increased recently. For a batch of grain that was taken out of our village through our teeth, the fortress only gave us a 20% discount on the previous price. It also said that it would be no problem to exchange for guns."  , but the price of bullets will increase by 30%. This big bucket goes in and half goes out, and the price of bullets has almost increased by half."

    Mu Yuan was startled. Damn it, he had been tricked by that round-faced girl who looked kind-hearted. She just said that bullets were not valuable, but it was clear that the villagers said that the price of bullets had increased.

    But given Mu Yuan's courage, he didn't dare to settle the score with the round-faced girl, so he could only continue to listen to other people's gossip while cursing in his stomach.

    "I know about this. I heard that a coal train derailed recently, which affected the production of the fortress's homemade bullets. But having said that, even if the train doesn't crash, the price of the bullets will definitely increase - this is obvious.  , bullets are no better than guns, they use one less bullet. Even if there is a lot of inventory in this warehouse, it can't be used by everyone in the neighboring villages. Moreover, the gunpowder for making bullets is too difficult to prepare, and the fortress wants to occupy it.  That chemical plant is still occupied by zombies and zombies. These dirty things are now cunning, hiding in underground pipes without showing up to cause damage. Think about it, this chemical plant is full of large and small pipes, broken  At one point, the entire production process is ruined.¡±

    "So, the price of this bullet will have to increase?"

    "Hey, it's not obvious. Think about it, more and more villages are getting guns provided by the fortress almost free of charge, and all they earn is bullet money. It's just like the old way of selling printers - the printers are given away at a loss.  You, but this ink cartridge and toner can make you money."

    "Hey, let's put it this way, our village needs to quickly send another batch of bullets into the fortress."

    "You have a good idea. This year, the village only bought so much food. We now eat sweet potato and multi-grain rice every day. The saved food has long been used to exchange bullets and medicine for the fortress. There is no other way this year. We will wait until the beginning of spring and eat more.  Grain. The fortress said that they have obtained a batch of high-yield seeds and can sell them to us cheaper, but the quantity is not large, first come, first served."

    "Oh, how can it be so simple to diversify grains? Once you have seeds, you have to find ways to get fertilizers, and with farm machinery, you have to solve the problem of diesel. Even if the seedlings are planted, God will take care of them. There will be good winds and rains, but you have to  Prevent zombies from causing trouble. You forgot, Zhaojiazhuang next door provoked a smart zombie. When collecting grains, the smart zombie led a group of zombies to kill less than half of the wheat. It was really  There¡¯s no place to cry.¡±

    Mu Yuan listened to the words that came from him and lowered his head to look at the bowl. Sure enough, the real grains of rice in this bowl of "rice" could almost be counted with his fingers. Most of them were sweet potatoes and corn. This was in the past, but  Grains are the most environmentally friendly and healthy cereals, but these days, it is easy to feel full after eating such a meal, but if you need to exercise vigorously for a while, you will get hungry quickly, but you will not be hungry at all.  If you eat too much sweet potatoes, you will fart easily.

    Mu Yuan boldly leaned over and said, "Brother, I heard that there is a vaccine in that fortress, is it true?"

    "Vaccine? What vaccine?"

    "It's the vaccine that can cure biochemical viruses."

    The other party was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: "Brother, where did you hear this nonsense about a vaccine in the fortress? If you want to get a gun, a door cannon, or even a tank, as long as you get enough  The fortress can trade it for you. Vaccine? How could such a thing be possible??stuff.  "

    Mu Yuan hurriedly smiled and said, "That's right. I also overheard someone talking about it when I was wandering outside."

    The man on the other side glanced at Mu Yuan: "Looking at your accent, you're not from the north, are you? Are you from the south?"

    Mu Yuan didn¡¯t dare to say that he came all the way from Yonggang City in the south of the Yangtze River - there are zombies everywhere, and if you can walk through it unscathed, there is definitely something fishy about it.  If he really had this ability, how could he be chased by a few zombies and escape into the village?  !  ~!
