Chapter 63 The Hurrying Caravan
Chapter 63 The Hurrying Caravan
With a "bang", the flames shot up more than one meter high, dispelling the darkness and coldness and bringing light and warmth.
With the light from the campfire, the two of them could clearly see the people and horses in the distance. They were dozens of slowly moving spider cars, as well as Tong Kun and others from the Bronze Dragon Camp.
What was different from when we went there was that the spider trucks were now full of cargo and covered by something.
But now most of the spider cars are empty, only a few of them are loaded with things, but not much.
"It's actually them! They're so fast." Chang Xin exclaimed.
There was a flash of anticipation in Liu Hen's eyes, but he didn't know whether those guys had brought back the flint.
If I had flint, I could make more fragmentation grenades.
With the fragmentation grenade, if he encounters the same situation as before, he won't need to stand alone in the front, and others can also go into battle to kill the enemy.
At the same time, more than 300 meters away.
Tong Kun and others were traveling in the dark.
"Captain, this place has really been bombed, and some places have undergone high-temperature crystallization. The previous movement should have come from here." Someone next to him said.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the method of that psychic."
Tong Kun said solemnly, "People with special abilities usually live in bright, large cities on the surface. That person with special abilities came here, perhaps for some hidden purpose..."
Before he could finish his words, a flame suddenly appeared in front of him, and a bonfire started burning without any warning.
With the help of the campfire, everyone wearing exoskeletons could see the situation there clearly at a glance.
Not only did he see the 'fortress' that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, he also saw two people on top of the 'fortress'.
Tong Kun's pupils shrank. "Is this the place we passed by before? When did this fortress appear?!"
That's right, a fortress. In his opinion, although this place is small, judging from the 'city walls' that can accommodate people, it can barely be considered a small fortress.
The people around carefully scanned the surroundings with the exoskeleton's built-in scanning equipment and quickly confirmed that this was indeed the route they had taken.
"Captain, this is the place we passed by before." Someone next to him answered affirmatively.
Tong Kun's expression became even more solemn: "The methods of people with special abilities are truly unimaginable."
After a pause, he ordered, "Everyone else stop. Tong Ming, have someone bring all the extra flint we traded and follow me."
……
"Chang Xin, please take someone to pick up our guests."
Liu Hen opened the door to the camp with a sudden thought and said to Chang Xin, "Before they resort to violence, we absolutely must not do anything that could easily lead to misunderstandings. Of course, there's no need to be humble. I'll make a few more bonfires."
As he said this, he quickly turned around, walked down the wall, came to the ground, put away three of the bonfires, and then walked towards the other three corners.
Soon, he placed bonfires at the other three corners of the square camp wall and they were all lit.
Suddenly, bright light illuminated the entire camp, and also illuminated some areas outside.
Thinking of the size of the spider cars in Tongluo Camp, Liu Hen felt that it might be necessary to make the 'city gate' bigger next time.
Or - simply expand the camp, use the current small camp as their own residence, and use the expansion to accommodate guests or future residents, etc.
The current camp is indeed too small. It’s okay to come once or twice, but we can’t always only receive the main people and leave everyone else outside.
We must ensure that everyone who comes here can feel the warmth of the camp, so that we can retain guests.
At the same time, he was also thinking that if he could collect enough tree cores, it might be necessary to arm Wu Yuanming and others.
Even if it is just the lowest level thermal suit, it can at least give outsiders a certain deterrent.
Thinking about this, he did not stop, but quickly entered the original home building, directly opened the creation workbench, and began to make bark warm clothes.
"I can't just leave them hanging. Besides, I don't know if they've brought back the flint I want. Let's go ask them first."
After putting the two sets of materials into the production bar, Liu Hen turned and walked out.
Just at this moment, Chang Xin was already leading Tong Kun towards this side.
Seeing Liu Hen, Tong Kun quickly put away the mask of his exoskeleton and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Master Liu Hen."
"Captain Tong Kun, we meet again."
Liu Hen smiled and said, "Did the journey go smoothly?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. Although those guys who have conflicts with the Hongluo Camp are a little short-sighted, our guns are not to be trifled with." Tong Kun also smiled.
They had evidently had a collision with the horsemen, but seemed to have suffered no harm.
That's right, with such a fully armed team, equipped with machine guns and even exoskeletons, it would be difficult for ordinary people to cause them any harm.
The main target of those people is the Hongluo Camp, so there is no need to keep attacking them and offend another camp for nothing.
"By the way, I heard from Lord Liu Hen that he needed flint, so we purchased some more this time."
Tong Kun took the initiative to speak again: "In addition to the quota given by Lord Tonglong, we can spare ten tons this time, but the price..."
Ten tons… Liu Hen was ecstatic, but his expression remained unchanged: “Of course it’s based on your price.”
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Tong Kun said, "The price of flint far exceeds that of copper ore. Hongluo Camp is trading ten tons of flint for one thousand tons of copper ore from Tonglong Camp. With your wisdom, you can definitely calculate that the price difference is a hundred times. How about we trade at this price?"
A hundred times the price...
Chang Xin looked at Liu Hen. She had previously used a piece of flint to exchange for a pound of tree cake paste from Liu Hen. The flint weighed about a pound.
"Are you still trading for thermal clothes?" Liu Hen asked without changing his expression.
The price of copper ore is one magic crystal per kilogram, which is a hundred times the price, meaning that one hundred magic crystals are needed to buy one kilogram of flint.
This price is indeed a bit expensive.
But if you still trade in warm clothes, there’s no problem.
Because his thermal clothing is very cheap to manufacture.
I happened to have collected a lot of tree bark during this period, and I was worried about where to put it.
"Yes."
Tong Kun nodded and said, "We'll take as many of those warm clothes as you have. It would be best if we could trade them all in warm clothes."
"no problem."
Liu Hen said, "But that kind of warm clothing is very troublesome to make. You guys haven't rested for a long time, right? Why don't you rest for a day at my campfire camp? I should be able to make all the warm clothing before the next early night."
Tong Kun felt a slight nervousness when he heard this, then said apologetically, "Lord Tonglong has asked us to return to the camp before the next early night. We have no other choice. But rest assured, sir. We hope to maintain long-term trade relations with you. You mentioned before that you still need a large amount of copper ore, right?"
Liu Hen's heart moved, and he nodded and said, "Yes, I'll take as many as you can."
Because whether it is a warm suit, or upgrading bows and arrows, Tang swords, etc., iron ore and copper ore need to be slowly stacked up.
Therefore, there will be a huge demand for the most basic ores such as iron ore in the future, and copper ore will naturally be no exception.
"That'll be easy."
Tong Kun smiled and said, "We are willing to trust the credibility of Lord Liu Hen. We can give you the flint first. When you make warm clothes, you can make more. We can trade together next time we come. What do you think?"
Although ten tons of flint is a lot, if Liu Hen does not keep his promise, even their Bronze Dragon Camp will be heartbroken for a few days.
But if it can help you maintain long-term trade relations with a person with superpowers, then the risk is definitely worth taking.
"If Captain Tong Kun can trust me, that would be the best."
Liu Hen also smiled: "I will stay here for a long time, and I also look forward to maintaining long-term trade relations with the Bronze Dragon Camp."
"Then please follow me to the door, Lord Liu Hen, to receive the flints."
Tong Kun immediately led the way: "Master Tonglong has given us a very tight timeline. If we can free up these supplies, we can return to the camp faster."
It is obvious that the controller of the Bronze Dragon Camp has very strict control over the camp, and it can even be said that he is very overbearing and indifferent, otherwise he would not let these people and horses travel non-stop in the dark.
Soon, Liu Hen and Chang Xin followed Tong Kun to the camp gate.
Liu Hen did not hesitate to use the pickaxe to collect a small piece of flint. After making sure that there was no problem, he asked Tong Kun to pour all the flint on the ground.
Tong Kun didn't say much and just asked someone to unload the flint from the truck.
I saw that the spider car with eight mechanical legs raised its four front legs high, tilting the car body and dumping out the flint inside.
With a "clattering" sound, the flints collided and produced sparks.
"Then, Master Liu Hen, we will take our leave first."
Tong Kun seemed really anxious. After unloading the flint from the truck, he hurried away with his men.
Liu Hen didn't think much about it at first, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.
As the caravan from the Bronze Dragon Camp walked away, the attentive Chang Xin suddenly said, "There are still things on those strange vehicles. If these flints really weigh ten tons, then the stuff on those vehicles must weigh hundreds of tons, or even more."
This made Liu Hen's heart move: "Perhaps the so-called tight time given by Lord Tonglong is just an excuse. Are they afraid that I will rob them?"
"Do you want to..." Chang Xin asked in a low voice.
"Don't mess around, this team's combat effectiveness is not weak."
Liu Hen shook his head: "Besides, we don't even know what it is. It's not worth the risk. What is extremely valuable to others may just be completely useless garbage to us."
At this time, he also had some doubts. Was the transaction between the Bronze Dragon Camp and the Red Snail Camp really just a transaction of copper ore and flint?
But he wasn't really interested, as long as it didn't affect him.
"Keep watch all around. I'm going to collect all these flints."
He took out the pickaxe again and collected the flints of various sizes that were dumped on the ground.
Thanks to 08a, Lux's shop, and Wujie9966 for the rewards.
