Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 30 Let’s go!Wanyan Street
The dusk is getting darker and the temperature is getting cooler.

When he got home, Li Liu had already prepared dinner for everyone.

It's a meal of finger meat.

The fattest part of the camel body is used as the raw material, and the fat between the muscle fibers is stewed until all the fat is melted. The tender white and oily red meat exudes a delicate fat aroma and is soft in the mouth.

When you taste it carefully, you can find that every bit of camel meat is still chewy.

Seasoned with salt and a deadwood spice, it makes for an appetizing kick.

This rich taste and unique flavor are not only attributed to Jiatuo, but also inseparable from Li Liu’s craftsmanship.

While enjoying the food, Lu Meng silently concluded in his heart.

The total meat produced by the camel from the last hunting was about 150 kilograms. Today, I went to the black market and brought [-] kilograms in the first wave.

Fifty kilograms of it were sold in bulk to black market customers, earning [-] Kai coins.

The remaining [-] kilograms and two weapons together earned [-] Kai coins from Hong Fang.

In addition, the camel whip and camel kidney were sold for [-] Kai coins.

This is equivalent to saying that [-] Kai coins were received today alone!
Compared to myself three months ago, it was hard to save [-] Kai coins in spare money.

It's really not the same.

However, the bulk of the money comes from the camel, which is not a normal income. The value of the camel in this era is no less than that of ancient cattle or even war horses.

Thinking about it this way, it’s a loss.

If he sells another 150 kilograms (300 kilograms) of meat tomorrow and next day at 80 kilograms per kilogram, he can earn another [-] yuan, leaving [-] kilograms as reserve grain.

Plus the five thousand Kai coins that Ling Ling had saved before.

In other words, Lu Meng’s expected net worth has reached [-] yuan!
If you want to do long-term business in the black market with this money, you can deduct the start-up capital for purchasing and purchase a fixed store.

"I originally thought that I would have the opportunity to earn this first pot of gold after arriving in Scone Town."

The hub is located in the vast and desolate "Border Land", and Scone Town is still to the south of the Border Land, already located in the Kingdom of Shake. This is where Lu Meng plans to go after leaving the hub.

Although the prosperity of the Shark Kingdom is far less than that of the Holy Empire, and Scone Town is a border city on the front line of the war, it can still be regarded as a rare civilized place in the wasteland.

In terms of resources, order and development opportunities, it is much better than the hub station.

"Am I a little too cautious?" Lu Meng asked himself.

In his plan, as long as he earns [-] Kai coins, he can consider leaving the hub.

This is not to say that money is very useful on the road, but after entering the civilized world, it is difficult to move without money.

If he entered Scone Town as a refugee, he would have to sleep in the wild.

Scone doesn't even have a slum.

At that time, life may not be as good as living in the hub station. At least there are many unowned things here, and you can still scavenge some.

If you "scavenge" in Scone Town, you can only be arrested by the guards and taken to the prison to gain enlightenment.

——You can practice lockpicking by the way.

Although it was enough to open coins, Lu Meng still gave up the idea of ​​finding an opportunity to leave the hub now.

The first factor to consider is strength.

Now that he has become a warrior for the first time, he can only say that he has the qualifications to explore the outside world, but it is not safe enough.No matter what emergencies you encounter, you may not be able to handle them alone.

Once outside, he may face hordes of bandits and mutated creatures.

The weaker caravans must travel together with mercenaries.

To continue to improve their strength means staying at the hub for a longer time.

Then the food reserves and coin openings must take into account daily consumption and expenses.

You can’t stop stocking up just after reaching the target.

On the other hand, supplies such as water supplies, backpacks, goggles, sleeping mats, tents, etc. also need to be prepared.

Fortunately, these can at least be purchased by opening coins.

As for Li Liu, Lu Meng also asked her to use the remaining camel skin to make at least three pairs of leather boots.

She has no objection to this. In the wasteland, it goes without saying that shoes are important.

Many low-level scavengers died from injuries and infections in the ruins because they were barefoot.

If you want to use it for long distances, ordinary clogs and plaited straw sandals will definitely not work.

Unless you are a ninja.

In addition, Lu Meng also planned to change to a powerful crossbow. His original hand crossbow was like a toy even if it was used for hunting, and could only bully rats and rabbits.

Finally, with so many things to bring, the best thing is to get a vehicle.

What kind of motorcycles, off-road vehicles, trucks...

That's a no-brainer.At this point in time, if you search the entire civilized world, there may not be any relevant complete technology preserved.

Although there are alternatives, they are not common motor vehicles in ancient civilizations.

As for ordinary people, even using animal power is considered a luxury.

This is not the end of the world, where civilization has collapsed just a few decades ago.

After thousands of years of continuous decline, the scenes of previous civilizations have become myths and stories passed down from generation to generation.

This world is not an old man struggling to his death but still able to regain his health, but a mushroom that grows again on the corpse of a giant.

The mutated social structure, broken industrial capabilities, regressed scientific research levels, and somewhat wrong skill trees... the world today is no longer the same thing as ancient civilizations.

Regarding the transportation problem, Lu Meng didn't have any good solutions for the time being.

The worst option is to carry the baggage yourself.

At worst, your strength and constitution can reach 40!

By then, he will be as strong as an ox, and he will have no problem "pulling a cart" or being a "pack animal".

It's just that this will consume more energy and spend more time on the road, so the supplies must be more fully prepared.

And the style of painting is kind of beautiful.

"Brother Lu? Brother Lu!"

Huo Buyang waved his hand in front of his eyes and said with a smile:
"If you don't eat it, I'll snatch it all away."

Having said that, Lu Meng looked at the pot, and there were obviously several large pieces of meat reserved for him.

They are all the best parts of Camel.

After a short period of time together, Huo Buyang gradually began to understand Lu Meng and knew that he was not a rigid person and would occasionally make some jokes.

Li Liu on the side also looked at him with a smile, his eyebrows soft.

In her opinion, Lu Meng behaved maturely outside, but when he was alone, he always seemed to be worried and thinking about all kinds of things under the calm expression on his face.

But essentially, this young man is of the same generation as Huo Buyang, just like her juniors.

"Okay." Lu Meng smiled.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

……

Have a good meal.

Lu Meng asked Huo Buyang to please stay vigil tonight.

Because I have to rush to a place overnight.

If he doesn't come back in the middle of the night, let Huo Buyang and Li Liu pack their things and prepare to move to another stronghold.

The place he wanted to go to was Wanyan Street.

Where the Xing family is located.

Today, he was shown killing three people from the Xing family on the black market. Although the news may not spread that fast, people who are interested can easily think of trying their luck at Wanyan Street.

I rushed there all night to avoid letting others pick it up.

……

The night is quiet and the moons are dim.

The young man put on new clothes and robes, carried a long knife at his waist, and wore a rattan hat, looking like a vagabond.

His body became much stronger as his strength increased.

If it weren't for the iron-embedded mask that blocked half of his face, he would have been even more heroic - Lu Beiyou Rui commented.

Lu Meng took advantage of the weak moonlight to look at his outfit. Although he could tell at a glance that it was "Lu Beiyou" from the black market, his temperament and image were very different from the original scavenger "Lu Meng", and it would not make people think Lenovo.

Disguise does not necessarily require shrinking one's bones to disguise one's appearance. What is really important is to master or even actively create the enemy's psychological blind spots.

There are no more than ten people who have actually seen Lu Meng's true appearance and still remember him. Among them are people like Wei Hong from the West Town Tavern who are unlikely to be questioned.

From the beginning, he deliberately displayed his "white hair" image in order to let others form a stereotype of him and make people subconsciously associate in this direction, thus ignoring other features of his face.

If someone really used this to hunt down Lu Meng, he could "blackhead his head overnight" by just applying the hair dye he took out from the ruins.

If you're more ruthless, you'll end up pulling out all the roots. You'll become a strong bald man, and you can use the power of the new module to grow it later...

Before setting off, Lu Meng did not forget to bring a few big bags.

As for how to get to Wanyan Street, he never needed anyone else to guide him at this hub.

Based on my own memory of the backboard, and corroborating the information obtained from Xing Laosan, it is not difficult to find the direction.
