Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 45

Several people studied the map and decided to divide into two groups. One group went to hunt mutant rabbits in the dense forest outside the west gate of the base according to the map's prompts, and the other group went to the trading market to check the market. After all, they all urgently need crystal cores now.

In the end, Lin Rantong's mother and son, Lin Dashan, Xia Yongjia, and Liu Yu went to the market together, while the others went hunting. After the two groups separated, they went to their respective destinations.

I have to say that although this map is rough, it is still very useful. Under the leadership of Xia Yongjia, several people wandered around for a while and came to the trading market.

This market is not like the neat and standardized large market that is common before the end of the world. Instead, it looks like a vegetable market. Take a rag and throw the things you want to sell on the cloth.The only difference is that both sellers and customers are very quiet. Most people just quietly look for what they like, and if they catch their eyes, they will communicate with the stall owner in a low voice.In the last days, not only the environment has changed, but also people's mentality. Most people are always tense, low-key and cautious.

An Ran lay on Xia Yongjia's back, looking around curiously, her pair of phoenix eyes kept turning.

Lin Rantong has calmed down the eyes of others who seem to be sizing them up. There is no way, a team mainly composed of women and children is too eye-catching, unless they don't go out.

She walked slowly, looking at the goods on the stall as she walked. Most of them were the meat and fur of mutated animals. Those with supernatural powers had no refrigerator to store these prey after hunting, and they couldn't eat them or wanted to eat them. If you want to change some crystal nuclei to buy other things, you will choose to come here to sell them.Although Lin Rantong is not very clear about the prices here, but based on what the boy said, these meats are not expensive, and a whole mutant wild boar only needs one first-order crystal nucleus.What Lin Rantong didn't know was that most of the people who bought these were ordinary people, and this crystal nucleus was already a huge sum of money for them.

There are also some stalls where gold ornaments, pearl ornaments, etc. are randomly placed, and not many people pay attention to them. After all, the biggest needs of people now are food and crystal nuclei, and no one is willing to easily spend these on those impractical things.

And some stalls with knives, potatoes, cabbage, drinking water, etc. are often surrounded by several people.

At this time, a thin but energetic man stepped forward and said in a low voice, "You guys, take a step to talk."

Lin Rantong and Xia Yongjia exchanged glances, signaling Liu Yu to walk behind, and followed the man to a corner.

The man looked at the calm and calm expressions of Lin Rantong and the others, knowing that he hadn't lost his mind, and that he might catch a big client today, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Guys, I see that you are capable people. I have something good here." Things, I wonder if you need them?" He deliberately paused while staring at the expressions of several people.

Xia Yongjia smiled foolishly: "We don't have any money. If you have something to say, tell us quickly. If you have nothing to do, don't delay the business here."

The man said with a positive look: "Don't be kidding, I, Guo San, have never misled me, and I would never take it out for others." Seeing the impatience of several people, he opened the bag slightly There was a little gap to signal a few people to watch.

Lin Rantong looked down, and there was a bag of edible salt inside!

No wonder this man acted like this, as if he was sure that a few people would be tempted.This edible salt is exquisitely packaged, apparently left before the end of the world.And no matter when, people eat salt is indispensable.

"How do you sell this?" Lin Rantong asked.

The man holds out 2 fingers.

"20 pieces?" Liu Yu asked in surprise, the woman's talent for bargaining made her unable to resist.

A look of disdain flashed across the man's face, and he shook his head.

"My God, is it 200 pieces?" Liu Yu covered her mouth to prevent her from exclaiming.

The man nodded and asked, "How is it, are you interested?"

Lin Rantong thought to himself that this table salt is indeed a good thing. I still have more than 200 bags of it in my space, but when I finish eating it, I can never have too much of this kind of thing. After all, crystal nuclei are very profitable. Eat some of these and eat less.

Thinking of this, Lin Rantong asked softly: "I have a question to ask, most people can't afford the price you sell at such a high price, don't they eat salt?"

The man looked as if he had expected it a long time ago, stared at Lin Rantong's face fiercely, and then said: "I have already seen that you are the supernatural beings who just came from outside, you don't know it yet, right? After the end of the world, although I eat a little bit less like the ones in my bag, we are facing the sea in the east. I heard that the two big bases sent people to the seaside to dry salt, and then shipped them back to sell to people, but they were all coarse salt. No comparison."

Seeing that several people seemed to be listening to the teaching with an open mind, the man went on to say: "There are special official shops in the base, and they are all on the same street. People can go there to buy salt, which is cheaper than mine." It's a lot, but it's not something people can afford. Well, I've said a lot, and you see—"

Lin Rantong really couldn't bear to tell the man who had been talking to them for a long time that they didn't have a single coin. After thinking about it, he asked softly, "I wonder if you accept this kind of salt?"

The man couldn't help being taken aback, his eyes lit up and he said, "Do you have any?"

Lin Rantong nodded: "What price do you offer?"

The man paused slightly, and said: "150, you must know that I took a lot of risk in selling this, and this is the highest price. In the future, if you have any good things, you can find me, and I will definitely give you a real price. Don't worry, I, Guo San's reputation is well-known in this area, and he will never do anything to ruin his job."

It’s really dark, 150, and then sell it for 200, but considering how many people are in urgent need of crystal nuclei, Lin Rantong nodded, and took out a pack of salt from his carry-on bag (we all know where to get it from). , Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

The man is really a neat person, he didn't say anything superfluous, he only said that he would take care of his business more in the future, and then he left naturally without a trace.

The lean man touched the bag of salt with 150 crystal nuclei in his bag, and felt secretly refreshed. This salt needs at least 180 crystal nuclei to buy by himself. Thinking of this, I don't have the heart to solicit business anymore, hehe, the new chick in the Unsheltered District is very tender, and I can finally taste it.

Lin Rantong and the others got such a huge sum of money, and they didn't want to go shopping any more, so they decided to let Xia Yongjia and An Ran learn how to use their abilities and then go home.

Walking on the road, Liu Yu asked softly, "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of trouble if you sell salt to earn so many crystal nuclei?"

This girl is sensitive and worrying, and she doesn't usually speak much, but she knows it in her heart.Hearing her question, Lin Rantong smiled: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, there are so many supernatural beings here, and it's normal for some of them to have expensive things in their hands, as long as they aren't too different gone."

Xia Yongjia took An Ran out of the Super Energy Center and met Lin Rantong and Liu Yu who were waiting for them.

"Have you learned it all?" Lin Rantong asked, looking at his precious son tenderly.

"Mom, it's very interesting!" An Ran nodded and said happily.

Xia Yongjia said word by word: "It's too dark. I said that An Ran is too young, and I want to take him in together. They insisted that I hand over the crystal cores of two people, saying that no matter whether they are supernatural beings or not, no matter how old they are, as long as they enter The room has to be crystallized."

A few people considered that if others knew that An Ran was a supernatural being at such a young age, it would attract attention, so they asked Xia Yongjia to take An Ran there, saying that they were worried about bringing the child inside alone.

"We already have two people studying, so let's hand it in, as long as we don't find that An Ran is also a supernatural being." Lin Rantong said.In fact, even knowing that An Ran is a supernatural being is not a big deal, after all, in this world, nothing is unacceptable, it's just that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Back home, the other group of people hadn't come back yet.After Lin Rantong and the others prepared the meal, they were not polite and started eating by themselves.

While eating, Tang Tang and the others came back. Seeing that they were in a mess, Lin Rantong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Tang Tang didn't make a sound, and sat down silently uncharacteristically.

Ma Xiaoyan waved her hand, glanced at Tang Tang and sighed: "It's not her fault!"

The author has something to say: My son has diarrhea recently. Just as Liu Ye was about to update, he heard her husband yell that his son had diarrhea again.
