Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

The outline of the city was looming in the darkness. In a half-collapsed abandoned building, there was a black mobile phone upright. The clean case looked out of place in the dust all over the floor.

Above the sky in the distance, a wave of blue light hits, accompanied by a rippling light curtain, stretching gracefully in the air. This beautiful scene like art is exactly what this continent will come to every few days. The Light of Destiny - Electromagnetic Burst.

The buildings in the city silently enjoyed this silent performance. After several hours of fluctuations, another building collapsed due to the long-term impact.

In the building where the mobile phones are placed, a lot of gravel and gravel can't help but rustle.But fortunately, the mobile phone placed on the ground was not damaged by this wave of electromagnetic explosion.On the contrary, after a burst of moving music, it slowly lights up.

Mobile phone power: 100%

A few more hours passed, and a well-wrapped teenager wearing a mask walked into the long-abandoned building, and went straight to the place where the mobile phone was placed without hesitation.Looking through the thick helmet, his face was very calm, only the trembling fingertips revealed the unrest in his heart.

Keke leaned over and carefully picked up the phone, wiped off the dust on it with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and touched the screen lightly with his fingertips.As expected, the phone lit up, and the light stung his bloodshot eyes - bet right!

Since the last time his phone suddenly went black, he hasn't suffered much. The matter of 'losing' itself has long been commonplace for people living in 'Promised Land'. After spending 3 seconds to recover, he has been trying to figure out the reason why the phone is 'broken'.

After looking through the dilapidated books, he learned that the 'mobile phone' needs some kind of energy to maintain its use.Just like his 'equipment', and the water purification equipment of 'Paradise', etc.

But what kind of energy?And how to drive the 'mobile phone'?This part he can only imagine.In his opinion, the most likely explanation is that the mobile phone was activated by an electromagnetic explosion, or that the mobile phone had no energy, and the electromagnetic explosion generated energy.

The rest was simple, he took the 'phone' out of the ground and put it on the 'above' again, but he didn't know what went wrong - after the electromagnetic explosion, the 'phone' didn't turn on.

And today, he found a chance to put the phone back in the abandoned building where he found it, and finally turned it on smoothly!At this time, nearly half a month has passed since the last time I received the news.

But that's okay, he's not just doing that these days.After consciously expanding the search area, he was lucky to find precious supplies.

Of course, he also paid a heavy price for this. His body, which has been malnourished all year round, has long been overwhelmed by the high-intensity labor.But those canned goods piled up in translucent plastic boxes made Koko feel that it was all worth it.

The plastic box is very strong and durable, and it is considered as the hard currency in the "Paradise". The cans inside are as big as two fists, and they are piled up close together, which makes people love it.

But he didn't enjoy the hard-won food immediately, but used these things to find a literate old man.The old man looked very old. This is not common in the "promised land". In places where food, water and medical care are lacking, most people will die in the first few years of old age, and many more will die. There is simply no chance of surviving to this point.

Although Keke has been learning characters from the old man these days, it is obviously not enough for him to understand the content of the news.In the end, he had no choice but to take the risk and put the phone in his pocket and bring it back to the 'paradise', then disassembled the text and copied it down, and took it to the old man to learn each word clearly, and then spent time putting together a word Send a message with one word.

No one could understand how ecstatic he was when he finally understood what was written in the message on the 'mobile phone'.A 'company' that can buy and transport any item, something that he couldn't even imagine in his wildest dreams, just happened before his eyes.

He didn't even think that the other party might be deceiving him. After all, he has nothing, so what can he get by deceiving him?The only thing that bothered him was the 'remuneration' mentioned above in the message.

What you gain is what you lose is the first thing Keke learned after he became sensible. Food needs to be exchanged for life-threatening, and the place to live needs to be exchanged for materials. This is the rule of "Paradise".

However, what can be paid to the other party?Keke sat on the narrow iron bed, his eyes searching every item in the room.Abandoned toys, plastic jars whose original color cannot be seen, metal parts of unknown purpose... He has nothing.

In the end, the only way he could think of was to show everything to the other party. [Whatever is in the photo, you can do whatever you want], he wrote in the message he sent.

'--Ding! ' The other party replied, first in text and then in speech.The boy's voice sounded a special sense of alienation, with a strange rhythm.Keke held the phone and listened to it several times before he understood what the other party was talking about.

He swallowed nervously, and tried to reply with the same voice, but he finally found a way to send the voice, but he couldn't squeeze out half a sentence from his dry throat.

He staggered out from under the bed and took out half a bottle of somewhat cloudy purified water hidden under the bed, took a sip, and his dry and chapped lips finally had some color.

Keke worked hard to stabilize his fast heartbeat, and intermittently expressed his desire to trade with the other party, and repeatedly emphasized that no matter what exchange is acceptable.

The voice and a string of photos were sent.Unexpectedly, the other party replied quickly, and indicated that they wanted the item in one of the photos as a transaction reward.

Keke clicked on the picture and frowned suspiciously.It was a photo he took on 'above'. On the dark gray ground, the iron bones of the collapsed building were exposed. The dark red color showed the traces of it being eroded by time. In the middle was the translucent box he found .

The subject of this photo is the big box.It is unrealistic to bring important materials back to the 'Paradise' like this, so after taking pictures, he buried them again.

But what the other party wanted was not the box. A bright red circle was framed on the iron frame of the building, clearly expressing his intention. ——The transaction reward is those iron bones in those buildings.

***

In the courtyard where the breeze was blowing, Alai sat up straight, and clicked on one of the pictures, which was highlighted by the system with the word 'rare metal'. He counted the estimated amount followed by Zero, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, a total of 5 zeros!Alai squinted his eyes and counted again, it was indeed 5 zeros!

He opened the details of the information behind the item, which clearly stated that this metal is a kind of radioactive substance that the three districts are purchasing, and it is a clean, clean, pollution-free and efficient new energy source.

Is new energy so valuable?How did this plane produce such a rare metal?A Lai thought for a while, then sneered again.Why think so much?If you don't make money, why don't you still do research?

He shook his head, circled the things on the photo on the system and sent them to the other party, expressing his agreement to the transaction, accepting as much as he could, willing to exchange for purified water, and other items can also be negotiated.

After switching to voice communication, the response speed of the other party is much faster.Almost as soon as Alai sent it out, he received a reply immediately. ——As expected, the transaction intention was reached.

***

Keke will never forget the scene of that day. A door suddenly appeared in front of him in the gray ruins of the dilapidated city. The warm yellow sunlight poured out unscrupulously from the crack of the door, and his heartbeat was infinitely released at that moment. slow.

Self-introduction The person named "Delai Transportation Company" came from a faraway world, took away the scrap iron that no one needed, but brought a wealth of supplies.

Hope came so suddenly, water, food, and all the good things that Keke knew and didn't know, have been available at your fingertips since then.

***

This is the 'paradise', a country of wasteland built on the doomsday.

A long time ago, an electromagnetic explosion took away the lives of people on this land, and at the same time gave infinite vitality to all people on this land.

A human named Keke discovered the 'treasure' hidden in the ruins - red iron.Later, he established a new order relying on trading 'red iron' and became the 'savior' of this land.

"Then what happened next?" The young man who was digging the city's iron bones with crude and heavy tools raised his head and asked his companion who was about his age.

He was wearing a work jacket that couldn't be seen in its original color, and he was carrying a huge backpack in order to be able to work 'on top'.Although he was asking questions, there was not much curiosity in his dark eyes, as if he was just asking casually.

The boy on the opposite side looked much more cheerful than him. He was wearing a dark red coat, and he was dragging the excavated iron skeleton onto a huge anti-radiation cloth with his bare hands, and wrapped it tightly before opening his mouth again.

"Later, he discovered that the 'red iron' was able to exchange supplies because of the baptism of the 'electromagnetic explosion', so he gathered people to start a business of mining iron bones, and exchanged iron bones for a lot of water and food, Leading the people in the 'paradise' to a happy life without worrying about food and clothing, congratulations, everyone is happy!"

The young man clapped his hands lively and cheerfully. On his pale and slender wrists, streaks of fluorescent blue clung to his skin and spread all the way to the corner of his smiling mouth.

That light shone brightly under the gloomy sky.

The author has something to say:

"Which of the two desolate paths in the jungle would you like to step into? Is the end of each desolate path as you expected? Or is everything unknown, so you can't help but cry at the difference? Can people know whether they are in the Where?" - Frost, "The Road in the Woods"

There are still many interesting places in this world that have not been described. If I have a chance in the future, I may write a separate book.
