Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure
Page 60
Clark looked at the deputy's back and fell into thought. Soon, this doubt was dispelled by himself - there is no way, that deputy is the only one in the whole regiment who can count, otherwise in the wasteland where there is no legal currency, there are no talents who are proficient in conversion , It is hard to tell whether it is a profit or a loss in a transaction.
Especially when several kinds of hard currencies are back and forth, this problem will be very serious
O
例如2000磅风干肉换100发制式子弹(复装弹),然后用其中50发换成50磅盐,再和25发子弹换的1000磅鲜肉(鲜肉含水分1000磅风干最多还剩下300磅)一起做成300磅盐腌肉,剩下20磅盐。
So I would like to ask, did the hunting group make a profit or a loss in this transaction?Only the deputy's brain can figure out this complicated issue, and the regiment leader himself is full of cold sweat and confusion.
Strictly speaking, there is no way to compensate for 50 rounds of bullets compared to his loss, but it depends on the bullets. Although the deputy is a bit greedy, his professional quality is still good. The normal exchange ratio of nearby settlements and After going through the team's needs in his mind, he nodded to the team leader to express that this was barely acceptable.
50 rounds of 7.62 armor-piercing incendiary bombs are used as special ammunition, and are generally used in Russian aviation machine guns. Only a few gun shops in the United States have stocks, and this kind of high-end stuff has naturally been searched out by survivors. After all It's a special attack on aliens.
Using it to fight the tearing beast is to use money to light the stove, but if you encounter gargoyles and larger demons, they are life-saving treasures, and many mercenary groups and caravans are willing to exchange them for a price.
Of course, this hunt is still losing money. It can only be said that compared to bankruptcy, at least it can still get the supplies for the next hunt.
"The settlement is just below the city. It used to be in the city center. Later, dangerous species appeared there, and now it's moved underground."
"sewer?"
"No, it's the basement of a hospital before the catastrophe." Then Xiaoxiao saw a building with a very complicated look. The building was obviously burned, but the entrance hall was still in good condition, and the surrounding walls had been reinforced. A few sentries crouched in the shadows and watched the street.
CDC, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Generally speaking, if there is a biochemical crisis, there is a [-]% probability that it is the fault of the US military, and the remaining [-]% is the fault of the CDC, or even both.
And these survivors actually went to the CDC's underground facilities to establish settlements, which...
"Didn't you find that there is something wrong with the underground facilities?"
"Well, it's a little bit. It's well preserved and the equipment is very comfortable. However, there are no traces of alien species."
"So are there any areas that cannot be opened?"
"That's quite a lot, but this kind of thing is what the elders worry about, and we don't care about it." Wasteland people generally don't care about crises that are not in front of them, because for them, tomorrow's food and the day after tomorrow's fresh water are more important .
The CDC's underground facilities obviously have generators, water purifiers, and a large amount of valuable electronic equipment and medicine reserves, as well as medical equipment, so it is naturally a good place for survivors to take refuge.
After entering the CDC building, Xiaoxiao found that the only two floors on the ground had been transformed into a temporary barracks, most of the rooms and windows were blocked, and there were about seven or eight mercenaries with guns guarding them. For the sentries outside and the possible order-maintainers below, the standing army of this settlement may be around 30 to 40 people, which can be regarded as a relatively strong armed force.
Go down the rope ladder of the elevator shaft that was opened by brute force, and the prey is directly packed and hoisted down by a pulley made of strong elevator cables, and they arrive at this settlement called "White Town".
There are five floors underground in the CDC facility. This is what I learned from looking at the panel on the abandoned elevator. However, Baicheng Town only occupies the first three floors. Because there is a generator in good condition, there is electricity here.
The original laboratories, offices, and passages were carefully divided by wooden boards and waste materials into an extremely crowded and three-dimensional refugee camp or town, filled with a smell of sweat and a strange smell of something being steamed, but, Compared with the previous seaside settlements, the smell is good.
Because there is a water purifier, people here can take a bath at least once a week, and there are relatively normal toilets, so they don’t defecate anywhere. Most people in Baicheng Town look whiter than most wastelanders because they don’t see the sun. It was a strange pallor.
"Okay, I have to make a deal, let's separate like this." Clark didn't plan to take Xiaoxiao to their secret camp. The hunting group's secret camp is the team's biggest secret, and everyone's wealth is there.
The second floor of Baicheng Town, that is, the commercial floor, is divided into several shops. Although there are not many in number, there is a small bar in an unusually compact manner.
It is not as crowded as the upper floor. As for the third floor, it is a place for elders, rich people and mercenaries to store weapons, ammunition and necessary precious materials.
Mutton, don’t want any other species, give me as much as you can.” Xiaoxiao replenishes the food stockpile as soon as possible, with an average daily meat intake of 1.5 tons. If you don’t replenish it immediately, you will soon fall into starvation. “There is no limit to animals and fish . "
The food in Baicheng Town is not rich and the price is not low. Relatively speaking, air-dried meat is more expensive than fresh meat, and salt-cured meat is more expensive than air-dried meat. Among all the meats, exotic meat is cheaper than ordinary meat, the cheapest It's a mutant crayfish—because there are a lot of them in the sewer.
Among the grains, corn and potatoes are the cheapest, and wheat flour is more expensive than meat. After consideration, Xiaoxiao bought all the air-dried meat and fresh meat that were displayed in the store, and the goods traded were several [-]-kilogram bags of rice.
Fresh meat will rot, but grain can be stored for a long time, so the locals happily made this deal. After adding a little meat, Xiaocai? occupied the so-called bar, ready to inquire about news.
In addition to how the world crisis came about, it also includes what these people found in the CDC facility, and the drinks in the bar, in all fairness, have no interest at all. The corn chewing wine is obviously not made by a beautiful girl , Therefore, she took out her own drink in the dark face of the bartender very unscrupulously.
Due to occupying the facilities of CDC, the alcohol brewery and preparation equipment here are relatively complete. However, alcohol mixed with water is still very expensive, and most people drink cheap corn wine.
As for the sports drink that Xiaoxiao brought out, it is a drink that everyone has never seen before. However, wastelanders who have money to spend in bars will not be local residents. Shoulderers, they quickly and covertly exchanged a look, and added labels like "Fat sheep with a lot of money, stupid people, come!" on the heads of Xiaoxiao and Zhaoxia.
no update
The cold got worse, and I slept from the afternoon to the present
In addition, did I know that compound licorice tablets contain anhydrous mofi? _(: 3JZ)_
Probably the update tomorrow will not be too stable, if luck does not develop into pneumonia.
——Hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words—one hundred words, one hundred words
Chapter 78 Today is also a hunk
Chapter 78
——When I walked into the bar, I noticed malicious eyes from all around, but this kind of eyes were not aggressive. Rather than looking at meat tickets that could be robbed, it was better to say that it was the eyes of a scammer seeing a fool. Perceptually revealed the five taboo characteristics of entering and leaving the car, boat, and shop: outsiders, rich, generous, urgently needed, and unsophisticated. It looks like you have never learned a lesson in the wasteland.
And the mercenaries and thugs who hang out in the bartender are very enthusiastic to teach her these necessary lessons and knowledge, and the price is slightly "reasonable" than the market price.
Robbery is a high-cost matter. The wastelanders have realized this bloody fact in the first 100 years. After the land dies or transforms, this kind of fat sheep is really getting harder and harder to find.
Except for those looters whose brains are broken by drugs, most wastelanders are not very happy to use violent means to rob, because those who can still survive until now, there is no one who will cry and call the police and find guards Guy, even if there is, it will only be in the citizen class in that kind of large settlement.
And the wastelanders walking outside are counted as one, and those who are still alive are those with two brushes in their hands. Robbery seems to have no cost, but bullets and medicines need money to buy—so, use your brain It is calculated that this is much faster than robbery, so why do you want to rob?
Buy pre-catastrophe information and information about the catastrophe online, don’t buy the bad ones, 20 bullets per copy. "Xiaoxiao discharged twenty rounds of yellow-orange-orange warheads on the table. The smooth metal surface made everyone in the bar swallow their saliva silently. Not only are they fat sheep, but they are also particularly fat. Money as money!
However, it is precisely because the fat is too much, so everyone is a little hesitant, until a guy who seems to be poor and crazy comes to the door, "Miss, what kind of disaster information do you want? About which part?"
"How did the catastrophe happen, the origin of those monsters, and where did the original government facilities go, etc. Of course, other catastrophe materials are also available."
"Why do you ask these questions?" The shoulderer also felt a little overwhelmed. Who cares about this kind of thing, the federal government, that kind of thing is about to become a ghost story role of an old woman putting her grandson to bed. Now there is no point in pursuing this matter. What's the point? "The point is how did those monsters come from?"
"Are you from the hunting group?" This request is relatively normal. Monsters in different regions have different characteristics and habits. If it is the scout of the hunting group, it is normal to acquire this kind of information. - But it is only normal to collect monster information.
The hunting group doesn't care about how the monsters come from, they only care about where the monsters come from. As for how they originated, no one wants to know, unless they encounter very tricky things, they will think of such things. But these data...
"Honestly, miss, this information may only be known to those freaks in the north who are still doing research. Are you from the northern city-state?" Because only the people in the northern city-state are dreaming of restoring the past and rebuilding the world, perhaps because They are close to freshwater lakes, and they have a little bit of industrial foundation, right?
"No, I come from a farther place. I'm just interested in these things, these past histories. You can understand it as a kind of collection, just like someone collects ancient books."
Now everyone understands, they have never seen this kind of collectors, but they have heard that those wealthy guys in the north have such existence, they will pay a lot of money to collect some ancient relics that others think are useless, and they firmly believe that these things will be in the future. It will increase the value, but the wastelanders don't believe these nonsense!
Of course, they don't believe in these nonsense, but they believe in the supplies and ammunition in the hands of those collectors. They didn't expect an online collector to come to a place like Baicheng Town." Ah, this is such a rare creature, even the bartender stopped The work in hand looked at Xiaoxiao and Zhaoxia curiously.
After roughly understanding her motives and needs, the next step is almost a bragging contest, such as taking all kinds of weird garbage and saying it is an ancient relic, and then opening a very high-value one, and even a company. The guy who can't understand the word "history" sips out a historical meaning and makes up an illogical story.
Unfortunately, Xiaoxiao is not as easy to fool as Xiaoyu, "This is not a fruit tester, this is a communication device, and it's broken." Xiaoxiao pointed to the broken ancient advanced instrument that swore that it could detect whether fruits are poisonous or not. Said, to be precise, this is a part of an Apple mobile phone, more precisely, it is only the back shell and a pile of broken circuits that remain.
"Also, this photo is not a canoe, but the wreckage of a fighter plane without wings, and besides, the lighter you just took out is worthless
O
I have to say that these mercenaries and scavengers all have something, and they are indeed carrying a lot of rubbish on their bodies, ready to find someone to cheat them for a fortune. However, they are all small recognizable things, and those who cannot be recognized can also determine and change history. irrelevant.
After many people hit the wall in a row, and the guy who became angry was beaten to the ground twice by Zhaoxia like hitting his son, the number of people who came to cheat decreased a lot. Everyone noticed that those businessmen said "money is easy to cheat" "Internet collectors" don't seem to be so easy to deceive
O
Fortunately, although the level of these guys making up stories with rubbish needs to be improved, some valuable stories and legends have been pieced together, especially when it comes to things about the legendary refuge, it seems very organized , authenticity
Generally speaking, it seems that a disaster happened more than 300 years ago. The army was wiped out at the beginning, and people killed each other. Expensive, especially those photos taken before the cataclysm, because there may be clues to a relic or ruin that has not been discovered and looted.
Although the pile of photos he sold was confirmed to be true by other colleagues who dismantled the stage without defrauding a penny, but the fakes that have been dismantled of useful things can still be seen from the photos. things come.
The photos seem to be clipped from magazines, and others are of unknown origin, with burning military bases and a messy street, it seems that the army was wiped out in the first place, and ordinary people are crazy about themselves. Cannibalism.
And this history has been confirmed by a mercenary. He has been to the large swamp area in the west. There is a group of weird voodoo believers there. Their teachings mention that there was a catastrophe in ancient times. They were all cursed and turned into monsters, etc. As for the other nonsense that they must believe in something or eat to survive, Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear it.
The cities collapsed one after another overnight, and then the survivors fled to the sewers, to the seaside, and to the wild. As for when the mutated monsters appeared and what the green oil was, everyone couldn't tell up.
It can only mean that even the elders don't know about this kind of thing. The green oil only knows that there are mutants, but not all of them. Only a small part of the green oil produced is flammable enough to generate electricity.
"Well, it seems that few people can get my 20 bullets, so..."
"Wait a minute, I have information you are interested in." The young girl rushed into the bar, her head was sweating, her long chestnut hair was tied into braids hanging on her ordinary chest,
"You want pre-catastrophe information, right? I know some, but my asking price is lower than
higher. "The girl was carrying a large backpack, and Xiao Xiao, who had amazing eyesight, found that many of it were books or things similar to books.
"How did the catastrophe happen, where did the monster come from, and where did the original government go? If you can answer these questions, there is no problem with adding money. However, I have to know that what you said is true, not You make up stories, by the way, you seem to be better at making up stories than these guys."
"The first question, how did the catastrophe happen?" The girl took out a thick notebook from her backpack, "According to my research..."
"Your...research?" Xiaoxiao had a strange expression, could it be that she encountered a brain-filling monster?For example, the guy who claimed to have researched for a long time and determined that the wreckage of a laptop display was a fragment of some powerful ancient equipment. Of course, his statement may not be wrong. What if this thing is a military command Where is your notebook?
"According to my research on literature and known clues and relics, the catastrophe should come from the sea. I found that all the data will not exceed the year number of 2035, and some data of 2034 show that the sea level was rising at that time, so , the catastrophe may be that the sea has completely submerged the land!"
"wait a moment ooooooo"
"Listen to me." The girl looked excited, as if she had been holding back for a long time, "According to this guess, as well as the mining facilities on the seashore and the compatibility of various ancient engines with green oil, the origin of these monsters is that the tide is receding Afterwards, the evolved sea creatures left on land, before humans exploited the oil in their bodies to maintain various machinery and equipment!"
"No..." Xiaoxiao tried to interrupt with a complicated expression, while Zhaoxia rolled her eyes in circles. As for Xiaoyu, she showed an expression of amazement and convincing, and even the shoulder guards and mercenaries also showed signs of hearing What a great story, you can go back and add more oil and vinegar to tell the next person to brag about.
"And the original government, after positioning and research, is most likely to exist in the local
Here on the picture, the place called Cheyenne Mountain in ancient times, I have been there specially, but
Unfortunately, there is no way to enter, but the wreckage of road signs and collapsed tunnels can prove that the federal government is hiding in the mountains. They have escaped the flood and disaster, and they are waiting for all the survivors on the ground to die. Come out and rule the world! "
"Papa!" Everyone applauded, but unfortunately, the small eyes seemed to be looking at the mentally retarded.
The only thing that the girl said is credible is that there are still remnants of the federal government in Cheyenne Mountain, because the Cheyenne Mountain base itself is a national refuge base in the United States. Both the government and the Ministry of National Defense will transfer to the fortifications in this mountain to continue to lead the domestic army to organize resistance.
She was able to find out about Cheyenne Mountain. This girl's level is quite good, but other aspects are pure nonsense, "Let me ask a little bit, do your teachers or colleagues, or other people agree with your point of view?"
"I have no colleagues, none of them can understand the significance of what I do, and they have no interest in these interesting stories that happened in the past."
"What about your teacher?"
"Eh... the teacher doesn't agree very much, but he also said that there is no other explanation at all."
"Your "teacher"'s education...o...sorry, I'm taking the liberty, where did you get your education in this ghost place?" Xiao Xiao said with a complicated expression, "Let's talk about the first conclusion first, the sea has never completely submerged the land! "
"How do you know there is no, if not, how did the yellow sand all over the ground come from, isn't it just on the beach?"
"...o..." Xiaoxiao scratched her head, since she was born, it is really hard for someone who has never seen a desert to be formed naturally.
""Well, if the sea had ever drowned the land, it would have left
A large number of corpses and fish and shrimps of the drowned, they will rot, and then leave the skeleton, you should have seen a lot of skeletons outside, right?You can find human skeletons, but what about whales and the like?If the sea submerges the land, there will be a lot of whale bones left behind when the tide ebbs. "
"Oh, yes, there are shells!" The little fish who grew up in the fishing village suddenly realized, "But there are no shells in the interior."
"This, this may also be that the shells have been picked up. Shells are very valuable." Because they are one of the natural dyes, they were even used as hard currency for a period of time in ancient times.
"What about the whalebone?"
"It's rotten. You know that whales are huge creatures. It's normal to be devoured by alien species..."
"It can't be that there are no traces at all."
