"Uncle, do you need to lead the way? I..."
"Go, go, go away!" The man who came out of the union kicked away the dirty child beside him. He had been in City H for more than half a month, so he didn't need anyone to lead him.
The child was sallow and skinny. He was kicked in great pain but gritted his teeth and remained silent because he knew his father was still waiting for him at home. He had to earn enough food to change his father's medicine.
His eyes were wide open, with a stubborn and determined light in them. He got up from the ground, patted the dust with both hands and continued to limp around looking for the next business.
"Tantai Banquet, why don't you let go?" When she reached the door, Feinuo couldn't help but poke his waist with her elbow. Before, he tried to pretend to be intimate, but she acknowledged it, but now the woman was out of sight. Why doesn't he let go?
Tantai Yan smiled gracefully: "This is a trade union, so it's better to be careful. If she doesn't give up and catches up, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?"
"You're thinking too much." Feinuo rolled her eyes helplessly.
"No matter how much I think about it, I don't want to be entangled with a woman like that. It's too much trouble!" He knew that Feinuo was right, but Tantai Yan didn't want to let go at all.
"Brother." Seeing the two people coming out talking and laughing, the child's eyes lit up. He didn't care whether he was in pain or not, he threw away the others and rushed to Feinuo's side, "Brother, do you need a guide? I'm right I'm very familiar with City H and can take people to any place in the base, and I'm very cheap, just a piece of bread."
As if he were afraid of being rejected, the child spoke very quickly. He looked dirty, but when he spoke, he spoke clearly and logically.
Tantai Yan looked at him, his eyes wide open, full of hope: "Let's go, we just arrived in H City today, you take us to the trading market first, and then go to Area B."
Seeing the child's desire for food, Tantai Yan did not refuse it. It was just a piece of bread anyway, so he didn't care.
"Thank you, brother." The child happily led the way.
The h city base is divided into five areas. Among them, area a has the best conditions and the highest salary. Area a is in the center of the base, where the people in charge of the base live. Before the end of the world, they were the top leaders of h city. After the end of the world, they rely on their Strong tactics and weapons quickly established a survivor base.
The entire base is circular, and from the inside to the outside are Area A, Area B, Area C, Trading Area and Slum Area. Outside Area A is Area B. Area B is home to a small number of people with superpowers. People with superpowers may be strong or weak, but no matter how strong they are, a person with superpowers can only bring one ordinary person into Area B.
For this reason, the base has been divided into Area C. Area C is home to the family members and friends of those in power or those with special abilities, and only a handful of ordinary people with abilities live there.
As for the trading area, it is divided into the union and the trading market. In the union, you can receive tasks and exchange information, while the trading market is used for exchanging things. Paper money in the apocalypse is worthless, so things that are not needed will be exchanged. Whether they can be exchanged depends on their ability and luck.
"Brother, the trading market is right here." In about ten minutes, the child brought them to the trading market.
However, due to the bad weather, there were not many people here, and many stalls were even empty. Tantai Yan and Feinuo took a casual look and found that most of the things were in a mess.
"Come on, come on, come and take a look. Good cold medicine and antipyretic medicine. Each pill only costs five pieces of bread." A middle-aged man in a black leather jacket began to enthusiastically promote himself when he saw Tantai Yan and Feinuo. s things.
His family ran a pharmacy before the apocalypse. The family finally escaped to City H, with only these ordinary medicines around them. Fortunately, medicines are scarce in the last days, and even cold medicines can be exchanged for a lot of food. With these boxes of medicine, he not only rented a house in District C, but also obtained enough food for his family to live for two months.
Today is his last day to set up a stall, and he only has two boxes of medicine left in his hand. He wants to keep one box just in case, so there is only a board of cold medicine and two antipyretics left on the stall.
Tantai Yan was not interested in these medicines. He felt that colds and fevers would be over as long as he endured them. Feinuo was dissatisfied because there were many medicines in the space. Only the child had antipyretics stuck to his eyes. above.
His father has been burning for two days, but he has only earned three loaves of bread so far.
"Boss, two antipyretics." Looking at the poor child, Feinuo took out six packs of compressed biscuits from his backpack, "I don't have bread, can I exchange six packs of compressed biscuits for two antipyretics?"
"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly. You must know that a piece of bread is only enough for one meal, but if you save some compressed biscuits, it is enough for one person to eat two or three meals. It is too late for him to be happy about such a good thing. How could he refuse?
The two quickly exchanged the things in their hands, and the middle-aged man packed up his things and went home without any delay. After all, the trading market was very chaotic, and he was afraid that someone would be jealous of the food in his hand and attack him. He still has a wife and children at home, but safety is the most important thing.
The child looked pitifully, but he only looked at it. He knew that in the end of the world, he could only rely on himself, and no one would pity him because he was a child.
Feinuo didn't say anything, but just put the antipyretic medicine in his pocket. There were many people here, and giving the medicine directly to the child would only cause him trouble.
The three of them continued to walk forward. Fei Nuo and Tantai Yan were still in a lack of interest until they saw various crystal nuclei in a corner.
"Boss, what is this?" Feinuo knelt down and picked up a fiery red crystal core.
"Miss, you are really discerning. This is top-grade red jade. If it can be made into jewelry, it will definitely make the lady more beautiful!" Seeing the neatly dressed and outstanding-looking Feinuo, the young man's eyes instantly lit up.
In the apocalypse, jewelry is worthless. Only the rich second generation who are powerful and have no shortage of food and clothing will exchange precious food for it. Otherwise, if a person can't even eat enough, who will care about dressing up? It is enough for them to have only one piece of clothing to cover themselves.
"How to sell it?" Before Feinuo could say anything, Tantai Yan looked at the young man casually.
"Eight pieces of bread are the cheapest. If you don't believe me, look around. No jewelry is as good as mine." Seeing that the two of them didn't look like they were short of food, the young man secretly reduced the number of pieces he exchanged. .
He exchanged a piece of bread for these things from others. He originally thought he could exchange them for some food, but he didn't sell them after a week. Now he finally met a customer, so of course he had to raise the price appropriately. .
"Forty-two in total, do you want to exchange two packs of compressed biscuits?" Feinuo was not polite to him. You must know that in the previous life, before the effect of crystal nuclei was discovered, one piece of bread could be exchanged for a large handful.
"This..." The young man was overjoyed, but with a troubled expression on his face, "I risked my life to bring these out, how about four packs of compressed biscuits?" He bargained.
Tantai Yan chuckled: "Jewelry cannot be sold in the apocalypse. If you want to sell these two packs of compressed biscuits, we will leave." As he said that, he pulled Feinuo up to leave.
"Sell, sell, sell." Seeing that they were about to leave, the young man agreed loudly. Although this thing looked beautiful, he could neither use it nor eat it as a grown man. It would be better to replace it with food, and he changed it. At that time, I only used one piece of bread, but now I can exchange it for two packs of compressed biscuits, which is already a profit.
If he insists on not letting go, and they really leave, he will suffer a big loss!
He quickly wrapped up the crystal core, then pretended to be in pain and took the compressed biscuit from Feinuo's hand, "Miss, let's see if there is anything else you want. I have the most complete stuff here. If you want it, just ask me It’s cheaper for you.”
"No need." Feinuo glanced at it and refused. Although he had a lot of things here, except for the crystal core, they were useless. They had better weapons, and the clothes were completely out of size. Even if they were bought, they would not be used.
The two of them walked around the entire trading market under the guidance of their children, but apart from the forty-two crystal nuclei at the beginning, they saw no other crystal nuclei.
"Brother, do you want this kind of beautiful stone?" The child timidly raised his head and asked Tantai Yan some distance away from the trading market. He knew where such a beautiful stone could be found, but he was afraid that they would be unhappy, so he hesitated for a long time before proceeding cautiously. The ground spoke.
"Yes, children, do you know where this kind of stone can be found?" Tantai Yan bent down slightly and looked at the child's shining eyes.
The child nodded excitedly: "I know a place where there are many beautiful stones. If I take my brothers and sisters there, can you give me another piece of bread?" He asked carefully. He just wanted to give his father a piece of bread to reduce fever. Medicine, this time he can get a piece of bread for leading the way. If there is another piece of bread, he can switch to antipyretic medicine.
"Okay." Tantai Yan touched his hair and agreed. They came to the trading market this time for the crystal core. Since the child knew it, it was okay to let him lead the way in exchange for a piece of bread.
The two of them followed the children to a shop located in Area C, which sold jewelry, perfumes and cosmetics. They were not interested in other things, and they only saw the dense crystal nuclei on the counter at a glance.
"Look around, just call me if you want anything." When she heard the footsteps, the shop owner played with the tablet in her hand without raising her head. Anyway, for her, opening a shop was just to pass the time. As for whether the things would be sold or not, The price depends entirely on her mood.
