LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 54 - News on the black market
Li Xioming, a college student.
The two have a good relationship. After all, they have passed the night together, had been in the department, and had eaten chicken. They can be called the “three irons” of friendship.
However, Tang Yu almost didn’t recognize it. In his memory, Xiaoming is a very gentle person, and his hair is much longer than now, but at present, the whole person gives him a clean feeling.
It seems like the two haven’t seen each other for years.
In fact, not long before the end of the last days, the two met in school, but they have experienced life and death in the last days, as if there were several spring and autumn periods. Seeing familiar faces again, Tang Yu couldn’t help recalling the campus full of youth and books before the end of the world.
“Walk around and see what you look like, just came to Lindong, I will take the wind and wash the dust for you.”
Li Xioming saw Tang Yu holding a guide given by the guide in his hand, and could not help but tell Tang Yu to enter a restaurant on the street.
This main road has a few shops on both sides.
You can find restaurants, clothing stores, daily necessities, bars, etc. before the end of the world, and now there are, and you can see the prosperity of Lindong.
There are also some eschatology in some shops, such as those that sell homemade guns, those that sell demonized beast materials, and some pre-apocalyptic martial arts masters who have opened martial arts halls in shelters.
Uh …
The two of them chose the location next to the window. Li Xiuming handed the menu to Tang Yu, “Come, Don, look at this menu, but this is not available outside, don’t be kind to me.”
At a glance, Tang Yu’s menu shows some common home-style dishes before the end of the world, such as braised eggplant, spicy potato shreds, home-made tofu, and so on. This is really a luxury in the last days, and many small shelters eat it at all. Without such dishes, only with a full range of ingredients in Lindong County, can you afford so many regular dishes.
Of course, the price is not cheap. Tang Yu pointed out a few things at random, and the waiter on the side calculated a little and said, “A total of twenty yuan, thank you.”
Seems to see the doubts in his eyes, Li Xiuming smiled and explained, “Twenty yuan is the price of twenty pounds of grain. Now the universal currency of the shelter is food stamps, with a face value of two pounds, two pounds, five pounds, ten The catties are different from the food stamps decades ago, but rather more like pre-last-day currency. The difference is that food stamps can be directly exchanged for food. Of course, a par value of food stamps can only be exchanged. A pound of the most common food. “
“Also, these restaurants are now paying first and then serving. Someone used to eat overlord meals and it was useless to grab them. People simply did n’t have the money to pay for them. As a result, they ca n’t afford them anymore. It’s all paid first. “
Li Xioming found two ten-pound, wrinkled food stamps from his pocket, and was preparing to hand them to the waiter.
Tang Yu shook his head when he saw this. Although Xiao Ming was very bold, he still saw the slight pain in the eyes of the other party.
He understands that Li Xiuming is just an ordinary person after all. In this environment, he may be better than the average survivor, but it is not much better.
These two food coupons with a face value of ten pounds are likely to have been accumulated by Li Xiuming. It is already enough for an ordinary survivor to survive for a month. Tang Yu didn’t make any sense to let Li Xiuming spend so much.
“Let me pay.”
He took out a source crystal and handed it to the waiter.
Li Xiuming wanted to speak, but he saw this source crystal with complex complexion. “Okay, you can take out the source crystal. It is the awakening person. Hey, unfortunately, whether I am the original awakening headband or the later awakening The potion, no matter how you try, will not wake up. “
Tang Yu didn’t know how to speak.
Everyone wants to be an awakener in the last days. Even if he does n’t go out to the wild and become an awakener, he has an advantage over ordinary people in work. Who does n’t want to be an awakener?
He is not qualified to persuade him from his perspective.
On the contrary, Li Xiuming smiled instantly. “Forget it, I don’t care anymore. Anyway, I have at least a fixed job. Life is much better than ordinary survivors. I am at least lucky than those people. . “
“It’s you, but you can’t waste the talents of the Awakener. If you have savings, it’s best to go to the official store to buy some equipment, such as firearms, such as military-made alloy swords, and listen to those Awakeners say it’s easy to use.”
Tang Yu nodded.
Li Xiuming is very reasonable and can see that he is sincerely advising himself, but these are only applicable to ordinary awakened people, but he has already exceeded this level, not to mention, no matter how good the military’s alloy sword is, Can it be compared with the one produced by his workshop.
Of course, Tang Yu didn’t say it. After thinking about it, he asked, “Do you know the black market? It is said that there are many good things in the black market?”
“Black market?”
Li Xiuming thought about it, “I don’t know much about the black market. It is said that the black market was originally only used by a few awakened people to trade some unseen items, but gradually, the black market grew and became a small market. Like the merchandise market in the eastern district of the shelter, except that the items traded on the black market are mostly available to the awakened, including items and equipment, some wild trophies, and it is said that sometimes there are outflows of items banned by the military. “
As soon as Tang Yu’s eyes lighted up, the military banned the sale of items, which meant that the soul force container could be bought on the black market.
“Do you know where the black market is?”
Li Xioming frowned. “Black market, I only heard about a hidden place in the shelter, but I don’t know the specific location. However, I heard someone say before … So, I will go to work and ask you tomorrow.”
Tang Yu called for two bottles of beer, and during a chat, they each talked about some post-apocalyptic experiences.
Li Xioming did not encounter any danger after the end of the world ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ when the end of the world erupted, he happened to be working in Lindong County, which happened to be selected by the military as a sanctuary. Work here-This was not a good job before the end of the world, but now it is the envy of most survivors.
There are very few fixed posts in shelters. The fixed salary can be full every day and may save some savings. Not only that, compared to the relief room officially allocated to ordinary survivors, fixed-position employees The residence is much better than these relief houses.
“You don’t know. When the shelter was first established, gunfire was heard every day. At that time, you were really scared, or you were so powerful that you could survive in such an environment and live so nourished.” He sighed, “The other classmates don’t know how. I met the Academic Committee. There were two other 503 working in Lindong like me. The others just happened to meet you today. Know how many people live to the shelter. “
How to live is a very heavy topic.
Every day, survivors come to the shelter, but more people actually die on the road.
Of course, most of his college classmates were in Lincheng when the end of the world happened. People who came to Lindong Shelter alive may not be the only ones that Li Xiuming has seen, but only hundreds of thousands of survivors. At a time when life is so difficult and there is no way to contact, obviously no one spares much effort to find others.
In the final analysis, except for a few old fellows with deep friendship, even if there is no eschatology, they will meet again a few years later, why are they strangers.
“Forget about these frustrated words, Tang, you just came to the shelter today, you haven’t found a good place to stay. If you don’t want to live in those relief houses, you have to go to the Housing Management Center to choose a house.”
