Except for some load-bearing pillars, most of the underground space has been opened up. At first glance, the length and width are more than 100 meters.
The people who live here use cloth or some yellowed cardboard to build their own space near the edge, and near the center is a place left open for activities and accumulation of debris.
In addition to this main space, there are some unopened spaces. You can see the medical room, weapons room, storage room and entertainment room along the way. From the perspective of these alone, human beings have the same nature as beasts at all times. the difference.
But what surprised Qiu Yu more than the orderly layout was that there was electricity here. For humans who want to rebuild civilization from the ruins, electricity is more important than almost all other materials and technologies.
Perhaps they received Qiu Yu the same way they received the previous traveling businessman. After entering this settlement, Jin and others neither took Qiu Yu directly to meet the leader here, nor were they in a hurry to discuss the deal. Instead, they directly Qiu Yu was placed in a small single room with soft bedding and fresh air.
"Take a good rest first. You can give me the list of items you need, and I will publish the information to others. If possible, you can also give me a list of items you can use for exchange. This will be more efficient. Some."
In this era, it is true that one cannot survive by just relying on a single skill. Jin is not only a hunter who fights mutant animals, but also an experienced receptionist. In Qiuyu's mind, he thought that the transaction work should be extremely complicated. The words are expressed clearly.
"Oh, let me think about it, you can come get it in half an hour."
Although I don't really want anything, regardless of my current identity as a traveling merchant, I must help them as much as possible in order to play the game well.
After Jin nodded and left, Jack also said that he would just come to him if he needed anything. He seemed to be in a hurry and left quickly.
On the contrary, Coulun told Qiu Yu that in order to repay him, Qiu Yu would accompany him throughout the whole time he was here. This was not just talk. Coulun originally lived sixty or seventy meters away from here. For convenience, Coulun moved all his belongings outside Qiu Yu's room.
This location should not be built illegally, but when others heard that the traveling businessman was rescued by Coulomb, and saw the submachine gun he deliberately showed off, no one cared about him anymore.
When he finally closed the door and calmed down, Qiu Yu suddenly felt at a loss. After letting his mind go blank for a while, he tried calling a few times using the communicator, but the result was still disappointing.
After a few more minutes, Qiu Yu picked up the pencil and paper left by Jin and started writing. Although he didn't have as amazing a memory as Qiu Yan, at least he redeemed the items in the bag by himself. Without much thought, Qiu Yu wrote on the paper things that could be "sold", including two submachine guns and two Assault rifles, 20 pistols and more than 3,000 rounds of related bullets, dozens of bottles of antibiotics, a laptop with 50TB of various materials, and several miscellaneous items for survival in the wild. These are all things that Qiu Yu keeps in his hands that are not too necessary, but will hinder his actions. After having a general understanding of the current world, most of them are no longer needed.
As for what she wants, Qiu Yu really doesn't know. If this were 2082 under normal circumstances, there would be a lot of things that I want. But the current situation seems to be that there is probably nothing that is very valuable and important to those outside that I can like. In the end, all Qiu Yu could think of was asking for a map of various nearby human and mutant animal forces, as well as information about people with strange behaviors and alien landing pods.
Half an hour later, Jin came in on time to pick up the list Qiu Yu had written. After seeing the contents on the list and trying out the firearms with his own hands, the surprise in Jin's eyes almost turned into a real light. But after seeing what Qiu Yu wanted, he was stunned for half a minute before leaving dejectedly.
But a few minutes later, the door to Qiuyu's room was violently opened by someone. After subconsciously grabbing the gun, he realized that the people who came were a few skinny old men in white coats. Qiuyu's first feeling was that these people were Doctors who come for medicine.
"You said you have a laptop, what kind of computer it is, show me quickly."
The leader of the old man was not afraid of the weapon in Qiu Yu's hand, and grabbed Qiu Yu's collar with red eyes.
Qiu Yu finally met someone who was weaker than him and dared to take the initiative to cause trouble. He easily pulled his hand away, "More important than the computer itself, the information I installed in it is more important. Just use it." It would be such a waste in medicine alone.”
"Medicine, what medicine?" The old man looked confused.
"Sorry, let me introduce you. This is the leader of our settlement and a scientist." Jin was making a belated introduction from the side.
The old man shook his hand that was hurt by Qiu Yu, "I heard that you are a traveling businessman, how could you be so ignorant? Didn't the scientists before the war dress differently?"
Hearing the old man's words, Qiu Yu had the urge to laugh, but after seeing his serious expression, he couldn't laugh at all.
In this era when it is very difficult to just survive, there are still people who rely on fragmented records to take the initiative to take on the work of scientists, which can feed mankind but cannot feed themselves. This in itself is a very respectable thing, and with this In comparison, the misunderstanding caused by the gap in knowledge will not only make people laugh, but will only make people feel more sad.
"Can you use a computer?"
If other people hear Qiu Yu's question, they will understand it as an insult to themselves, regardless of whether they know it or not. But the old man looked happy, "Yes. There are many computers left before the war that can be used. I have dozens of them here, but the information in them has been lost, but occasionally I can find one. If it's intact, the information inside is more useful than hundreds of books."
"So you want to come and see if my computer has the knowledge you need?"
The old man had absolutely no talent for bargaining, so he ignored Jin's winks and just kept nodding his head.
Under everyone's unbelievable gaze, Qiu Yu directly handed the computer to the old man, "I don't know much, I only know that there is something in it. As for whether it is useful, you can take it and see first. If it is useful, we will Let’s talk about what it can be exchanged for.”
"Okay." The old man was unambiguous. He picked up the computer and walked out with the other old people. He probably took it for granted to find a place with power supply and try it.
Jin smiled bitterly at Qiu Yu, and drove away the people watching the excitement at the door to make the room quiet again, "I have already asked about the things you want, but this area is quite closed in every aspect, so We can't find people, things, or maps, so... can you change it to something else?" Jin paused and gritted his teeth and said, "If you're not in a hurry, your lost friend should be in this area, I can Take someone out to look for it.”
In Jin's opinion, if the people separated from Qiu Yu were around the settlement, they would have been discovered long ago, so they should be in the territory of mutant animals. For the small amount of armed forces in his own settlement, he can barely defend himself. It is quite dangerous to take the initiative to enter the territory of a large number of mutated animals. But Qiu Yu's weapons must be obtained, otherwise the place will also run out of ammunition and food soon.
Qiu Yu sighed. If they could find something 120 kilometers away, this task could be given to them. "Then you should at least know how to get to the other settlements closest to here, right?"
"Are you leaving here?" Jin's eyes were not disappointed, but a kind of despair.
Qiu Yu can analyze a lot of things through the subtle behaviors of the other party, not to mention the information given by Jin is enough, "Can you make your own guns and bullets?"
As if he realized something, Jin quickly said, "It can be done, but it has no finishing ability. The gun made is very weak and has many faults. The bullets can be made relatively qualified, but they are limited by the materials and production capabilities." The restrictions imposed in one day are not enough to kill the mice.”
"Then if I give you both my gun and bullets, how long can you ensure the safety and stability of this place?"
Jin was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of hesitant joy on his face. "If we don't mess around and are not too unlucky, plus the bullets that can be produced every day, there will be no problem in sustaining it for five or six years."
This settlement was originally designed for excavation. Within five or six years, what was unearthed would already be a huge fortune.
"Then I'll leave it all to you. Protect this place well. Maybe it won't take that long before you can make better weapons and endless ammunition."
Just like the exaggerated shots that often appear in animations, Jin's eyes widened little by little, and then suddenly narrowed when they reached their limit, "Why? You are a businessman, and we can't afford the corresponding return."
"Businessmen also know how to invest. I am more optimistic about your settlement with a clear goal than those places that have been around for one day and don't know what to do the next day. When you develop to a point where it is worthy of me to collect returns, I will naturally I will get my capital back with interest...even if it is many years later, but to me, that is not a big problem."
When the benefits reach a certain level, many people will feel that life is not that valuable, and the statement given by Qiu Yu does not sound life-threatening, but is also quite reasonable.
Afraid that Qiu Yu would regret it, Jin Da immediately opened the door, and then in an exaggerated voice asked someone to come in and bring weapons.
When there were only two people left in the room again, Jin's brain calmed down a little, "There are no restrictions on your conditions. As you just said, we will be able to create better weapons and endless supplies in five or six years." ammunition... I think it is unlikely. I heard those scientists say that in order to make a good gun, you must first have a set of hand-fitting tools, and hand-fitting tools also need to be made with raw materials and corresponding machinery. The manufacturing methods and processes also..."
Qiu Yu waved his hand, "As long as you know how to do it and the direction in which to do it, everything is easy."
Jin said anxiously, "But we don't know."
"You'll find out soon."
gold,"……"
