This was the second time he came to the place where water was sold.
Because it was just getting dark, many vehicles drove out from Longxi Camp and placed bottles of water bottles of different types on fixed stalls.
This water is packed in one catty, two catties, and five catties.
Further up, there are kettles. There are ten-jin, twenty-jin, fifty-jin and one-hundred-jin bottles.
The quantity is huge, but the water is very turbid, so it’s probably unsanitary and unhygienic.
And the price tag is a bit excessive.
Jiang Cheng took a closer look and found that the one-pound package was priced at 1,000 Longxi coins, and the ten-pound package was priced at 10,000 Longxi coins.
As for the 100-jin package, it costs 100,000 Longxi coins.
Today's water is as good as gold, costing one thousand Longxi coins per kilogram.
On the contrary, ordinary food only costs ten Longxi coins per catty, and meat costs one hundred Longxi coins per catty.
Water is the most indispensable. Food can also be obtained by hunting evolved creatures, but water is probably the only place in the entire grassland area that still has water.
Jiang Cheng thought about it and spent 200,000 Longxi coins to buy two hundred catties.
But two hundred pounds of water is still not enough.
So after he disguised himself for a while, he wandered around again and exchanged all the coins in Master Heifeng's space folding bag for Longxi coins.
Fortunately, there are many business groups here, and money from other camps can also be exchanged here.
Although the price was reduced in various ways, I finally got more than 100,000 Longxi coins and bought another 100 kilograms of water.
After that, Jiang Cheng used the remaining money to buy a complete set of pots, pans and other items.
Rice was an essential staple food, and he also bought it.
In this day and age, this kind of food is far less expensive than meat. Instead, it may seem much cheaper because it requires water to cook.
Of course, it is only relatively cheap, but it is also much more expensive than in peaceful times. Rice that looks very rough costs ten Longxi coins per pound.
He also bought some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. He could eat less of the others, but salt was essential.
Thinking that he might dig holes frequently in the future, he spent another three thousand Longxi coins to buy a lithium battery lighting tool that he could wear on his head.
This kind of lighting tool can theoretically be used for a month even if it is used continuously, or a year if used intermittently.
Although there has been a civilization gap in this world, lithium battery technology has been retained. For many camps, lithium batteries are the most common batteries.
As for power armor and land boat-level equipment, cold fusion is directly used. This shows that the world's technological level has definitely developed to an extremely high level a long time ago.
I don’t know what the disaster was that made the world with such high technology unable to fight against it!
Suddenly Jiang Cheng saw jelly on a stall, and his heart suddenly moved, and he asked: "Store, is this jelly? How to sell it?"
"One Wulongxi coin." The store owner smiled enthusiastically.
"So expensive?" Jiang Cheng was surprised. This kind of jelly was no more than the size of a walnut, and it turned out to be almost as expensive as rice.
"What do you think?" The store owner's expression suddenly became cold. He dared to ask about luxury goods. He thought they were rich. He said calmly: "Jelly contains a lot of water and is a luxury product. The price is very cheap. After a while, The time may go up.”
Jiang Cheng thought it right. He thought of Yaya and Tong Xiaorou, so he bought a hundred of them.
In addition, he also bought some snacks that would satisfy his hunger and taste good.
There are also pastries, etc., but he doesn't buy many of these foods that consume water. He mainly just wants to taste them.
Of course, he himself doesn't like snacks, but Yaya and Tong Xiaorou will definitely like them.
At this time, Jiang Cheng had already discovered a bug, that is, putting various sundries into a space folding bag, and then that space folding bag can also be put into his own space backpack.
However, each space folding bag will occupy a separate grid, regardless of whether there is something inside the space folding bag, it will occupy a separate grid.
In this way, he simply put all the sundries into Master Heifeng's space folding bag. In this way, the things he bought later did not occupy the space of the backpack's grid, but vacated a lot of space.
Master Heifeng's space folding bag only has three cubic spaces, which is not big enough.
It's a pity that the space folding bag containing the supplies of the Black Wind Merchant Group cannot be opened. There should be a lot of good things inside.
"The three hundred kilograms of water purchased this time are very turbid. If treated, there may be consumption..."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and felt that it was still necessary to get more water. Such a small amount of water was still not enough and it would run out sooner or later.
But there isn't much left to sell.
As for the barbecue…
He doesn't want to expose the barbecue here. He can try other will modifications (synthetic items), but he can't expose the ones that are too valuable.
"We'd better find a way to see where the water in Longxi Lake is first!"
Jiang Cheng was thinking about this and was about to go back when suddenly Liang Weilun walked towards him.
After seeing him, Liang Weilun said happily: "Brother Jiang is also here to buy water? Have you bought it?"
Although Jiang Cheng had put on some disguise so that strangers couldn't recognize him, acquaintances could easily recognize him.
"I bought some, but..." Jiang Cheng thought for a while and suddenly whispered: "The water here is too expensive. Even if we lose our money, we can't buy much. Brother Liang, can you think of a way..."
When Liang Weilun heard this, he said helplessly: "Brother Jiang doesn't know. I asked last night that the water level of Longxi Lake is already below 500 meters, and it is closely watched by the people at Longxi Camp. We There’s no chance, otherwise those wilderness people wouldn’t be here.”
"Five hundred meters?!" Jiang Cheng said in surprise: "Is this Longxi Lake that deep?"
Liang Weilun: "I also asked about this. It is said that there was a giant dragon living in Longxi Lake in the past. The depth of the lake is more than three thousand meters. Of course, it is not necessarily that deep, but it must be more than one thousand meters. Now Longxi Camp every day Everyone is frantically fetching water for storage, worried that it will evaporate in the open air, so the water level of Longxi Lake drops quickly."
As he spoke, he took a look around to make sure there was no one around, and then said: "Instead of going to Longxi Lake to get water in person, it would be better to attack Longxi Camp directly, but unfortunately this method is not feasible either. The population of Longxi Camp is as high as 80,000. Above, there are more than a dozen evolved ones, and that’s just on the surface. They also have a lot of hot weapons, so we don’t have any chance.”
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Is that giant dragon real?"
"It was a legend a hundred years ago. The dragon should have run away long ago." Liang Weilun said.
All right.
The two exchanged some other things and then separated temporarily.
It was not yet completely dark at this time, and many people in the wilderness who could not afford to live in houses were still lying under the eaves of various places, sleeping soundly.
Of course, there are also many wilderness people who have gone out to dig up grass roots.
When he was about to return to his residence, Jiang Cheng saw the wilderness man who spat at him again, who was lying sleeping more than fifty meters away.
He sneered in his heart, suddenly took out a piece of compressed biscuit weighing three ounces, and said to a wilderness man lying outside his residence: "Do you want it?"
The wilderness man on the ground was shocked and hurriedly got up. He said with a longing look on his face: "Yes, what are your orders, sir?"
He obviously knew it was impossible to freeload.
"Did you see that man? Beat him up, and this compressed biscuit will be yours." Jiang Cheng pointed at the wilderness man who spat at him in the distance and said.
The wilderness man on the ground looked around and saw that the people from the Longxi camp were not nearby, so he hesitated and asked, "Can I kill him?"
Obviously he didn't want to leave any trouble.
Jiang Cheng: "...Of course, it would be best if you beat him to death, but don't blame it on me."
The wilderness man immediately promised: "Don't worry, sir. And even if I say it, it will be useless. Those people will only catch the perpetrators and will not pay attention to the people behind them."
As he said that, he looked longingly at the compressed biscuit in Jiang Cheng's hand, and said with difficulty: "Sir, can you give it to me first? I haven't eaten for a long time. I may not be able to beat that guy..."
Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and threw the compressed biscuit over.
"Thank you, sir!"
The wild man was so ecstatic that he tore open the film and bit into it wildly. He even choked and ignored it. He was obviously really hungry.
"Master, watch it!"
While eating, he glanced around cautiously, and then walked toward the distance without hesitation.
Wherever he passed, the wild people on the ground opened their eyes and looked at him warily.
Obviously those wilderness people were not really asleep. Even though the Longxi Camp was here to frighten them, no one dared to really relax their vigilance.
Soon, the wilderness man eating compressed biscuits approached the wilderness man who had humiliated Jiang Cheng before.
He calmly took out an iron awl, and when he was about to pass by his target, he rushed forward and inserted the iron awl into the opponent's chest, while covering the man's mouth with one hand.
The wild man on the ground immediately roared and struggled. Unfortunately, he had eaten too much yesterday and relaxed his vigilance. He would never have another chance.
Behind him, Jiang Cheng squinted at this scene.
After more than ten seconds, the wilderness man who had humiliated him stopped struggling.
After the murderous wilderness man drew out the iron awl, he quickly groped for the corpse, took away all the relics, and then ran quickly in the dimly lit direction.
People nearby hurriedly moved away from that position, but that was all. They continued to lie down after leaving a distance, as if they were used to it.
In fact, one of the groups hurriedly ran over, dragged the body and quickly left in a direction away from the gathering place.
As for what to do with taking away the body...there's no need to think about it.
After the body was removed, the people nearby hesitated for a moment, then suddenly rushed over to lick the blood on the ground clean, and then lay back down again after licking it clean.
In the blink of an eye, nothing was left at the murder scene, it was as clean as if it had been swept.
