Where is the Taoyuan in the wasteland

Chapter 119 Spode Corpse Man

In the middle of the night, Ni Si got up under Zhang Qing's call, washed up briefly, and started to go out.

Speaking of which, the water source in the refuge began to run low again, and I had to go to the wine city to steal some water in a day or two before I could come back.

After knowing that water can be stolen, Ni Si felt that it would be more cost-effective in the short term.

Those who followed him were Dani and Niu Dingtian, the former was Ni Si's personal guard and had a hundred soldiers under him.

Niu Dingtian is currently serving in the Second Battalion and currently serves as the company commander of the Second Battalion.

Originally, the army in Taoyuan City was reorganized, but Ni Xi canceled the organization of "team" and changed it to "battalion".

Li Ran is the commander of the first battalion, Wei Qi is the commander of the second battalion, Xun Ze is the commander of the third battalion, and Li Claw is the commander of the fourth battalion.

The newly reorganized army was called the Taoyuan Independent Regiment by Ni Si. He was the head of the independent regiment, the four battalion commanders below, and a guard company.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with tonight's meeting...

"Is there something wrong with the other party? If you don't meet during the day, you have to meet at night!"

Dani looked around, and the abandoned city at night looked extremely gloomy, let alone winter.

The cold wind passed through the building without windows, and the sound of "whooping" came out, which was extraordinarily gloomy.

In the darkness, I always feel that there are countless eyes staring at me, coupled with the cold weather, every second is torture.

"Jie Jie... Are you the one who wants to trade with us?"

Among the black people, several figures slowly came out.

They did not carry lighting devices, which meant that they could move freely even in the dark.

Yes, after all, they lived underground for so many years.

When they actually came to the light source, the three of Ni Si couldn't calm down. After all, these people in front of them didn't look like 'human beings'.

It looks like a human being, can speak, and has obvious mutated features on its body. Its skin is similar to that of a ghoul.

"What kind of existence are you?"

Ni Si frowned. If you want to say that these are ghouls, then it must not work, after all, the appearance is closer to humans.

But if it's a human being, it's also not good, after all, it has the characteristics of a ghoul.

"We, we don't know what kind of existence we are...for the time being, you can call us radiated corpses. As for me, you can call me Zhang Cai, let's count as the leader of a tribe."

The leader of the radiated corpses stepped forward and introduced themselves. It was obvious that they retained the wisdom and memory of human beings.

I just don't know whether they retain the ability to reproduce human beings.

If not, then it would be great. This group of people has survived at least since the Wasteland Era, and they have been around for hundreds of years!
"Are you the radiated corpses who are currently living underground?"

Ni Si looked at the other party, always confirming this question.

"I don't think it is necessary to answer you. Why don't you talk about it first and get in touch with us?"

The other party didn't answer. After all, the two sides have just met, so it's hard to say whether they can get along or even be hostile.

"We are looking for water sources. We originally wanted to say that there are people living below, so there should be water sources..."

Ni Xi looked at the other party, since the other party was a radiated corpse man, it was a matter of whether he wanted to drink water or not.

"So that's the case, then why did you choose to build the city here? You clearly know that there is no water source here."

"We have our own difficulties. The main reason is to confirm that there must be water sources in this city based on investigations."

"Yes, your speculation is correct. There is indeed a water source under the city. Regardless of our appearance, we also need food and water. We even raise earthworms and mushrooms underground..."

"According to what you mean, are you planning to use these to trade with us?"

"Yes, you have to pay for what you want! There is a water source in the city, but the water source is in the center of the city. There are a lot of ghouls there, and we can help you get it. At the same time, mushrooms and dried earthworms, we have all these I can trade with you."

"So what do we have to pay?"

"It depends on what you have and what we are interested in."

"Not to mention anything else, salt is something you probably need very much. In addition, we also have alcohol and tobacco here, and even some more exciting smoke. In addition, we also have weapons and electrical appliances... But I have a proposal, other Let’s not talk about things, we share the water source, how about it?”

"We really need what you said, but it doesn't allow us to give the water to you."

This radiated corpse man named Zhang Cai is very smart, he knows that the most valuable bargaining chip in his hand is clean water!
"Do you know where your biggest mistake is? Let us know that there is indeed a source of water in this city. We have killed almost [-] ghouls before, and we can slowly kill other ghouls in the future. There is no threat of ghouls, We can fetch water ourselves."

Ni Si looked at the other party with great interest, trying to blackmail him with water, but unfortunately this was useless!
The other party obviously didn't expect this, but the guys on the ground did notice yesterday that they killed tens of thousands of ghouls.

There were people from them in the building at that time, and they witnessed the convoy attracting tens of thousands of ghouls out, and then using traps to eliminate most of them.

If we continue, it is only a matter of time before the ghouls are completely wiped out...

For them, without the natural barrier of ghouls, they, the radiated ghouls who coexisted with ghouls, would inevitably be discovered.

In fact, from the perspective of interests, they should stand on the side of the ghouls and deal with these outsiders together.

Why do you want to contact them, why do you want to trade... probably mainly because you have had enough of being underground!

Nearly 100 years, such a long time, is enough to make people crazy!

In these 100 years, they have not even left the abandoned city!
Occasionally someone left and agreed to come back within three days, but in the end they never came back.

There are many such examples, and in the end, everyone would rather hide underground in the abandoned city, or even be with the ghouls, than leave here.

"On the ground, do you know what this means? We Radiant Corpsemen will join the ranks of ghouls and become your enemies!"

"No, no, you should listen to my conditions! If you are willing to cooperate with us, then I will expand the city and build an outer city for your radiated corpses to live in. I think it is what you want most to return to the ground."

"You mean you want to recruit us. Do you think we will agree? Besides, why do you think we want to go back to the ground?"

"There are new humans, old humans, and demi-humans in my forces. For me, as long as they are intelligent creatures, not hostile, and obey my rules, they can live in harmony. If you are worried, we can even help You, build a ground stronghold in the abandoned city so that you can live on the ground with peace of mind, and then the two of us will sit next to each other and form an alliance, and the water source is our bond!"

"I have to say, your suggestion moved me a little bit. It's just that I don't care about this matter, and the patriarchs of all tribes must agree. Of course, if you need a deal, you can contact us. Anyway, the walkie-talkie is here with me. .”

"We respect your choice, but please also pay attention to our urgency. The water source problem must be solved, and we do not want to obtain it by force."

"Just wait... I will give you an answer within two days. If you can't persist, we can provide you with a certain amount of water."

"Strictly speaking, we are not short of water sources, what we lack is a stable long-term supply of water sources."

"Then just wait!"

The other party didn't say anything more after hearing the words, and just left like this.

"Let's go too!"

Seeing this, Ni Si also turned and left.

Since the other party is not an old human, or even a new human or demihuman, I have nothing to worry about.
