My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 925: Trade in the city, the rules of the gopher!

  Chapter 928 Intra-city trade, rules of gophers!

  The patrol team sent by the gopher guy was very vigilant, and the six people hardly left any dead spots for monitoring.

  Sumo waited patiently for more than two hours before the first batch of changing guards arrived at the sewer entrance.

   There are three people in total.

  Not wearing an exoskeleton, it seems that this equipment will also need to be replaced.

  "Zero, record the conversation between them and give me real-time feedback."

  "Okay master, already under directional monitoring."

  As long as there is sufficient power, the detection function of No. 0 is really easy to use.

  The other party is like a fighter plane exposed to radar monitoring, with no privacy at all.

  However, these people were considered cautious. There was no communication at all during the process of putting on and taking off the mechanical exoskeleton, and the whole process was terrifyingly calm.

  It wasn't until the shift was over that the first man who walked out before whispered.

  "According to the usual agreed time, they should have come here long ago."

  "Master Manager told us to wait here foolishly. If we encounter those relentless mutant lunatics from the day before yesterday, I'm afraid we will lose a lot of ammunition."

   "I can't help it." The man who talked to him stretched his stiff shoulders, and comforted him: "This fog is so inexplicable, we haven't seen it in Qinggang City for hundreds of years. They were delayed, we You should also understand."

   "Besides, if they really can't come." The man looked around, and continued to lower his voice: "The manager said that if there is not enough supplies to last until the next time the Foundation's merchant ship arrives, we will send them from the base. Throw some people out to fend for themselves, and the ones you don't want to throw out are your women."

  "Merchant ship? God, it will take at least two months?"

  The man grumbled and complained, but finally held back the idea of ​​continuing.

  According to the previous patrol position, he walked over obediently and continued on duty.

  The three replaced people disappeared on the ground through the sewer mouth.

  From the beginning to the end, no one noticed that a stranger was looking at them not far away, and no one knew that their conversation had been exposed.

  Looking at the corner of the building ruins, Su Mo was thoughtful, and took out the notebook on his chest to record the information.

  "It seems that the information of the wild wolf should not be mixed with water. Sure enough, these gophers in Qinggang City have transactions, and they have some good things left over from before the war in their hands, and the energy is constantly being produced. Produce valuable trade items."

  The wild wolves and the cockroaches who can only wander around the corners of the city for food are naturally not qualified to trade with the gopher guy, but this doesn't mean that they haven't got good things from the bunker.

  Those pre-war machines that relied on intelligence to drive production were well preserved by the gophers.

  With the help of a high-energy bio-battery conversion device, the moss that grows unscrupulously is the best power generation product, and the energy source continuously provides enough electricity for production.

  And the favorite trade items among the predators are those produced by the Gopher Guy.

  It can be exchanged for food, supplies, weapons, slaves, women, and information.

  Sumo hasn't been able to find out exactly what the group of people in front of him traded for, but based on the exposed information, he can roughly guess the high-value items in their hands.

  Cotton? Exoskeleton? Biomass battery?

  If they really have the ability to produce these things in their hands, it is really a hard currency in the wasteland.

  As for the question they just exchanged.

   For the time being, name this underground fortress the Western Suburb Bunker.

  According to the information analysis just now, they should have reached an agreement with forces in other places in Qinggang City, and they will trade once every time at this time to buy enough supplies to support the arrival of the so-called "Foundation Merchant Ship".

  This time, it may be due to the influence of the fog, or it may be due to other factors.

  Not to mention the late arrival of the forces that were supposed to arrive according to the schedule, the bloodstains left before should also be that they encountered mutants who survived the radiation.

   Facing these lunatics wandering around the city who almost lost their minds, the Western Suburb Bunker logically should take shelter from the edge.

  But the reason why it still appears here is to patrol back and forth.

  The bunker in the western suburbs should be short of supplies? !

  Having come to this conclusion, Su Mo suddenly had a whim.

  "Since they can't break into their interior in a short time, is the transaction feasible?"

  As long as you can find out what the deal between them is, or simply have an accident with the group who traded with the Western Suburb Bunker, you can't come here as promised.

  In this case, what if the territory can become their trading object?

  The most important thing in the wasteland must be the population, and it can only be the population. Any force that wants to operate must ensure that the internal personnel structure is stable and there will be no major changes.

  Since the lord manager in their mouth said that, when necessary, throw some people out to fend for themselves.

  At this time, the Tianyuan Territory happened to appear and provided something they needed

  "The population of the western suburbs bunker should be quite large, and the material needs of various aspects are under great pressure, which must be met by replenishing trading materials at regular intervals. And according to the analysis of the so-called managers, since some people are going to be thrown out to reduce expenses, Then what they lack should be related to food supplies."

  "Having an exoskeleton, it basically has the strength to crush the surrounding areas, but under the pressure of materials, it still does not participate in external plundering, which is in line with the character of the gopher guy."

  "Rushily appearing to propose a food and material transaction can easily arouse their vigilance."

  "Maybe you can start in another direction."

  Write down the information on the note, and Sumo put it in his arms.

  The gophers of the Free State tend to be lawful and neutral in character, and their reputation among wanderers like wild wolves is not bad. As long as they don't actively provoke them, they will not be targeted.

  They don't trust anyone, they only act according to the rules set in the bunker, and never go beyond it.

  And this is also the biggest reason why this group of people was able to form a force before the war.

  If you decide to contact or even trade with them, simply going up and asking is definitely the stupidest choice.

  The best way is to let the other party come to you and try to cooperate, so that there is room for maneuver.

  "How can we let them come to the door by themselves"

  Just as Su Mo was thinking and analyzing this most important issue, a group of people finally came hurriedly not far away.

  This group of people wore close-fitting black armor, even covering their heads, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

  The outside of the black armor is covered with blood-vessel-like lines, and the inhalation and exhalation are faintly visible in the mist.

  Behind them, there were two creatures similar to scalpers.

  However, just like the two armored black dogs I saw in the fifth floor area before, the two cows have also changed. Its tail is also like a whip, which is more than three meters long on the ground.

  "The trader is here?"

  According to the information provided by the wild wolf, Su Mo quickly found the general information about the cow.

  Whip the bull.

  With a docile personality and strong bearing capacity, it is one of the best tools for short-distance transportation after the war.

  At the same time, its whip also has a certain power, and can rush out as a pioneer in a critical moment, forcibly destroying the opponent's encirclement.

  The two whip oxen are full of cargo boxes, and it seems that there should be a lot of supplies.

  "Why are you here now? This is a day behind the agreed time!"

  The leader on duty breathed a sigh of relief, and while sending someone to notify the information, he walked up with a slightly complaining tone.

   "Hehe, Captain Liu Lu, I'm just glad we can keep our promise." The leading man in black armor took off his mask, revealing a face full of scars.

  His voice was like two pieces of iron rubbing against each other, hoarse and piercing, and the listeners frowned.

  But the next sentence made Liu Lu's face change drastically.

  "After this transaction, the agreement between us will be void, and we will wait until the fog clears."

  "Voided? Captain Garu, your Harbor Refuge accepted the material deposit from our Pingtan Refuge in advance. With the witness of Qinggang Refuge, you will have to pay liquidated damages for unilateral cancellation!"

   "Of course, didn't I bring it here?" He patted the whip cow behind him, seeing Liu Lu's face getting uglier, the black-armored man Jialu chuckled.

  "Pingtan Refuge is too far away from the harbor. It seems that it has been so long that we still don't know what happened in Qinggang City."

  "What happened?"

   Liu Lv asked subconsciously, but the next second, he regretted it.

  In the eyes of outsiders, there are more than a dozen Free State shelters in the huge Qinggang City, facing each other offensively and defensively, which is an alliance relationship that is more reliable than any other cooperation, and the relationship between them is extremely good.

  But only the people in the bunker know that this relationship depends on "deals".

  In Qinggang City, everything has a price tag.

  The cooperation between them can only be achieved because they paid a mutually satisfactory price.

  Now that he is so eager for information, it shows that the refuge really doesn't know what happened.

  Wait, let the manager know.

  It is indispensable, and his next supplies are not distributed much.

  "Say it, let's make a price."

  Paused, Liu Lu glanced behind, and finally said through gritted teeth.

  "Refreshing!"

   "I need this." Pointing to a grenade hanging on Liu Lu's waist, Jia Lu raised his eyebrows.

  The value of intelligence depends on the degree of scarcity and urgency.

  It is just a grenade, of course it cannot be replaced.

  But Liu Lu's intention now is not to exchange, but just to prevent him from "accidentally" revealing the details of the conversation between the two just now.

  "It's really a greedy thing."

  Mumbling in a low voice, Liu Lu untied the grenade from his waist, and threw it away in pain.

  Among all the shelters in the Free State, the Harbor Shelter is the one with the shallowest foundation, and basically has little industrial production capacity.

  However, the location they chose was so good that every refuge had to regularly trade with them the fish caught from the harbor to meet their material needs.

  These greedy things are always trying to find a way to get money from the transaction partner.

  If there is no choice, the Foundation's merchant ships will come here only once every six months. Who would want to trade with these damned wolves.

  However, seeing the other party catching it in a hurry, Liu Lu felt a little better.

  He carefully sorted out his words, and then stretched out his hand cautiously: "Bring it, this time's cargo list."

   "Go, take the cargo list to our Captain Liu."

  Patting the bull's head, Jia Lu's smile became more intense.

  Combined with the vertical and horizontal scars on his face, it looks like a mushroom corroded by mold, with creepy little sarcoma everywhere.

   Liu Lu stared suspiciously, then looked away as if nothing had happened.

   Soon, two pieces of yellow paper that seemed to be soaked in sweat were handed over.

  "Don't you see it?"

   "I don't want to read it." Liu Lv quickly shook his head, and then turned around and wanted to take the list to the mouth of the well.

  Just one more word, and then paid the price of a grenade.

  Even if he is now curious about the price change on the cargo list, he decided to stop the impulse.

  But

  "Look, the price this time is quite different from before."

  "And I promise, I will not use this to blackmail you."

  A devil-like seductive whisper sounded behind him.

  Liu Lu resolutely took two steps forward, and finally couldn't help but glanced at the top line of the list.

  According to the usual transactions between the two sides, what is recorded here must be the largest catch.

  The price is not high.

   "Fuck, is your harbor crazy?"

  Looking at the number that was ten times higher than usual, Liu Lu was stunned.

  "You want to exchange five catties of fish for a coupon, why don't you grab it?"

  Commercial securities.

The currency issued by the  Foundation is used throughout the post-war world.

   Only by holding this item can you buy goods from merchant ships that come half a year, or traveling merchants who come from time to time.

  Its face value has 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 points.

  Usually, a coupon with a face value of "1" can buy more fish than fifty catties.

   Now that the purchasing power has plummeted, less than one-tenth of it is left?

  Is the manager of this harbor refuge crazy? Does he think that there will be someone to trade at this price?

   "Don't worry, just read down slowly."

  Garu still maintained a smile, as if he didn't hear the question just now.

  Following his words, Liu Lu looked down.

  Seeing this, his face became even more ashen.

   Sure enough, among the basic materials on the first sheet, not only the price of fish catches has increased by ten times, but the prices of things produced in other seaport shelters have also increased to a certain extent, and the average is at least five times higher than before.

  And in the second picture they collected and manufactured from outside

   Immediately, Liu Luxian saw the signature and seal at the bottom.

  Is that the sign of the giant city shelter?

   "Hey, what are you doing, kid? I asked you to take the goods delivery list from the Pingtan Shelter. Why did you take out the goods delivery form from the Jucheng Shelter?" Seeing Liu Lu's face constantly changing Jialu quickly slapped the younger brother on the head behind him.

   "Go, hurry up and get a new one~IndoMTL.com~Yes." Hei Jia was beaten, and his facial expression could not be seen, but his tone was quite cheerful.

  This shows that there is no awareness of doing something wrong, it is obviously intentional.

  "Brother Liu Lu, you have also seen that it is not me and your Pingtan Sanctuary family asking such a high price, but because of the great changes in our Qinggang City, the price has increased uniformly."

  "When you report to the manager, don't forget to say it."

  Take out the grenade that hasn't been warmed up just now, and Garu throws it forward with a smile.

  Liu Lv caught it and nodded silently without speaking.

  He lost completely in the confrontation just now.

  The other party didn't pay any price, so they set him up.

  Taking off the exoskeleton on his body, Liu Lu quickly went down the ladder at the mouth of the well.

  It was only when he stood on the flat ground at the bottom and looked at the heavy iron gate that he sighed slightly in his heart:

  "I hope... the manager will not be furious."
