บท 67: Swallowing the supplies
It is hard to imagine that there was no bar a month ago, but in just one month, they have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Thanks to the large amount of alcohol brought by the Grand Canyon settlement, many people have found a new way to make money, which is the bar. If you don't smoke, people may not say you are not a man, but if you don't drink, you will definitely be said to be not a man and have no dick. Coupled with the introduction of the mercenary system, the bar suddenly became popular. Every day, a large number of mercenaries come to consume. Some team members who don't go hunting also choose to drink a glass, sit inside and brag and chat, and build relationships.
Even in the refugee camp, some people set up a big tent and directly hung a big bottle of wine outside as a bar to do business.
The wine in the bar is not expensive. A small first-level white crystal can let you drink a small glass. The price is cheap, so it is naturally not a good wine. If you want to drink good wine, it is not surprising that you need 2 or 3 levels of crystals at most; there are even sky-high priced wines. They were produced in other countries before the end of the world, and their taste is far from comparable to the crude rice wine brewed in the Grand Canyon. Often a bottle of Moutai or a bottle of fine wine is absolutely a treasure of the town, and it can only be seen but not drunk.
The impulse brought by the Grand Canyon settlement is still there. The food they produce has somewhat alleviated the demand for food in the wasteland settlement. A large amount of food has impacted the market, causing the price of food to begin to fall. Undoubtedly, the falling price has invisibly increased the income of many people, and they have gradually stored food in their hands, and their dependence on food from the administration has decreased to a certain extent.
Zhou Yuanqiang is a little confused. Why does the wasteland settlement administration allow such food that holds the initiative?
From another perspective, Zhou Yuanqiang found that the wasteland settlement and the Grand Canyon settlement can actually complement each other very well. One has a strong military force and a small arsenal, and the other has a weak military force, but can grow a lot of food to ensure people's survival. If the two are combined, it will definitely not be as simple as 1+1.
The wasteland is not all mud and sand, and there are many places where soil is exposed. Even in desertified places, as long as the upper mud and sand are cleared, there is soil underneath that can allow plants to survive. But in the wasteland settlements, only the central town is planted, and there is almost no sign of any crops outside. Even if some places have been reclaimed, they are also abandoned, and no one continues to plant them.
In short, the wasteland settlements are very strange on the issue of planting.
Entering the refugee camp, the pickup truck drove slowly on the road, feeling the lively atmosphere here, the laughter from time to time, and the children chasing each other, they walked between tents and gradually went away. On the road, as seen before, vendors were everywhere, selling their things to every potential customer. The atmosphere and mental outlook are a little better than before.
The caravans from the Grand Canyon could not live in the refugee camp, of course. They were allowed to enter and exit the central town freely.
We found Xu Yuhai waiting at the south gate, and led him into the central town. We soon found the place where several caravans from the Grand Canyon lived. The management bureau arranged an empty residential building for them. The houses inside were all iron beds, which could accommodate two or three hundred people. In front of the building, there were more than a dozen trucks of food, guarded by soldiers.
Zhou Yuanqiang remembered that the convoys composed of several caravans also had fifty or sixty cars, but what we saw now was only half of them. The loss was definitely very heavy.
Li Le'an, who heard clearly, was absolutely delighted when he heard that someone came to the door and hoped to exchange food for perfume mosquito repellent spray. You have to know that this time coming to the wasteland settlement is definitely like a nightmare. They just left the Grand Canyon settlement and entered the area where zombies were densely populated, and were blocked by a huge group of zombies. There were quite a few armed personnel in the five caravans. When they could not move forward or backward, they fought back desperately.
The existence of high-level zombies caused heavy losses to the caravan. They were besieged by zombies for four days. After consuming all the ammunition, they luckily broke out of the siege of the zombies. But what made the leader Li Le'an crazy was that half of the personnel and vehicles were lost. You have to know that this is more than a dozen carts of food. In the end of the world where food is extremely precious, what is the concept of more than a dozen carts?
The huge loss, according to Li Le'an, can be tolerated as long as he can get the recently popular perfume in the wasteland settlement. But the nightmare has just begun. The food in the wasteland settlement is certainly a few cents more expensive than that in the Grand Canyon settlement, but compared with the loss, it is simply a loss. Moreover, he searched hard, but he didn't even see the shadow of the perfume. Under questioning, no one knew that there was anything in the wasteland settlement.
In the past two days, Li Le'an was restless. If he brought this result back, the bosses of the caravan would definitely feed him to the zombies outside.
Just when he was desperate, he heard this news like the sound of nature. How could he not be ecstatic? It was like grabbing a life-saving straw. He no longer cared about his identity and rushed out of the dormitory and shouted out of control: "Who has perfume? Where is the person?"
Zhou Yuanqiang was also somewhat famous in the Grand Canyon settlement. Many people had seen him. After seeing Zhou Yuanqiang, Li Le'an's eyes lit up and laughed. He grabbed Zhou Yuanqiang's hand tightly and said: "Oh, I knew it must be you, Boss Zhou, otherwise who would have such a big courage to get these things? Come in, let's talk inside!"
After entering the room, Li Le'an sat down and got straight to the point. He said: "Since Boss Zhou wants the food in my hands, it's easy. I just want the goods you brought to the Grand Canyon last time. Don't worry about the price of the food. We will give it to you at our Grand Canyon price. I will escort it for free. What I want now is to complete the task from the top. We will give you 70% of the market price of your goods in the Grand Canyon. If you think you can make a deal, we can continue to talk. This is my bottom line."
It seems that Li Le'an has been racking his brains recently. In addition, he is unfamiliar with this place, so he just wants to get the goods back quickly.
Seeing Li Le'an's straightforwardness, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't drag his feet. He slapped the table and said, "Since Captain Li is so generous, if I say more, it will make me seem insincere. I'll take this deal." He paused and said, "But I have a small condition."
When Li Le'an heard that there was a condition, his brows twisted and he said, "What small condition?"
When Zhou Yuanqiang left, Li Le'an saw him off with a happy expression, but as soon as Zhou Yuanqiang left, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, as if the joy just now was fake.
In the next few days, Li Le'an was still running around between the forces of various teams, but his attitude was very persistent. The price of grain must be equal to the current market price before he would sell it. Several leaders in the wasteland settlement originally had the idea of more than a dozen carts of grain. Under their collusion, no one dared to accept this batch of grain. In addition, Li Le'an refused to lower the price. Who would be willing to do something that would not benefit them and would offend several teams? After a few days of running around, there would naturally be no results.
But what everyone didn't expect was that after a few days without results, Li Le'an actually took the food back the same way. He would rather take the food back to the Grand Canyon than sell it at a low price, which definitely surprised all those who were waiting to make some money.
But who could have known that Li Le'an's convoy, after more than ten kilometers away from the settlement, turned a corner and went to the small oasis?
