The strongest porter in the last days

Chapter 625 Another one who doesn't want food
The old man stared at the cargo list sent by Green Shield, and was speechless for a long time.

Everything is food, and there are four kinds of fruits alone, let alone four kinds, and they have never eaten a single kind of real fruit.

Then there are chicken, fish, and some pork, all of which are extremely tender and real meat, not the meat of exotic animals that is either black and red as rotten, or dry and hard and smelly.

"This... These are all the goods you brought?!" The old man looked at Zhang Zhen in shock.

Zhang Zhen nodded: "Jiaolong's warehouse is limited, but I still bring a little, so it's not a problem to satisfy you."

The old man looked at the fresh meat and fruit, as well as a large amount of rice noodles, and made a difficult decision.

Jin Quanzai looked at Ludun's drooling and said excitedly, "Father, buy some and let everyone try."

"Shut up." The old man stopped Jin Quan, and stood up a bit embarrassed: "City Lord, it's not convenient here, how about we go into the room and talk?"

Zhang Zhen nodded, and followed the old man into a caravan-like room next to him. The old man didn't even let Jin Quan in, and closed the door tightly, letting Zhang Zhen sit first nervously and awkwardly.

"Mr. Mayor, although my goods are unique, please rest assured that I have fair prices, and you can open your mouth as much as you want." Zhang Zhen didn't understand what the old man was embarrassing.

The old mayor shook his head, sat down and hesitated for a long time before he said: "The problem is because you have too many goods, I can't buy these things."

"Why?" Zhang Zhen asked in surprise.

"To be honest, we could still find a lot of food in the ruins under the desert in the early years. Because of the desert, a lot of food is well preserved, such as dried meat, rice noodles that are not seriously corrupted, and now we can occasionally find a canned fruit. , but the rest were almost gone, and food began to be scarce, so we had to hunt exotic animals for our staple food." The old man said worriedly.

Zhang Zhen said strangely: "Then the food I brought is alleviating your crisis."

The old man shook his head heavily and said: "Survival in the desert is different. We have rarely traded with outsiders and lived a self-sufficient life. People are used to hard survival. If I buy a lot of your food, these people will start to get used to it." To get more, and to shake the idea of ​​our existence for decades, would bring the whole town to its end."

Zhang Zhen suddenly figured it out. This is the same reason as the Gopher Gang wants gold instead of food. They are afraid that these foods will shake their belief in survival, and they are afraid that after eating real food, they will no longer be able to accept the original living environment, which will lead to cracks in the group. Wavering jeopardizes the survival of the entire group.

He frowned and said, "I can understand, but I only have these things that I can exchange for gold with you. No meat, no fruits and vegetables. I can ask for some rice, noodles and canned food, but this is far from enough to exchange for gold."

The old man thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you back the three tons of gold, and a certain amount of rice noodles and canned food is enough. It would be great if sir could give us a certain amount of salt."

Zhang Zhen glanced at the stock of Jiaolong Salt, nodded his head and said, "I only have a spare bag and a half in the car, I can give you one bag, if you come next time or you send someone to Longyuan City, I can give you a hundred bag."

"Thank you, City Lord. If possible, I will send someone to visit Longyuan City." The old man was grateful. What he liked the most was salt. It was difficult to get salt in the desert, and it was indispensable.

Zhang Zhen asked Charity Ji to put twenty bags of flour in the carriage, and another thousand cans, and drove the car into a secluded room according to the old man's instructions to complete the transaction.

He can understand people like the old man who are afraid of getting real food. It is not easy for these people to survive in the desert. If they suddenly eat fruits and fresh meat one day, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive in the desert peacefully in the future. The old man was afraid that people here would think of going out, so he didn't even dare to let others know what he brought here.

Jin Quan knew that he was very dissatisfied with the old man who only needed noodles and some canned food, so he took Zhang Zhen to another room to fill the gold, and complained: "The old man is just too timid, he never wants to contact the outside world, and he is not allowed to touch the outside world." People leave the desert and have everything but flour and some canned food, really."

Zhang Zhen looked outside through the car wall. There really is a golden statue in this town. It is in the center of the town. Moreover, the center of the town is very small. There are several golden statues half-buried in the sand. The rumors are true.

And in the room where he came, there were exactly three tons of gold bars, which looked like a bank's gold reserves.

Seeing Zhang Zhen sizing up the gold bars, Jin Quan enthusiastically explained: "This was found in a building under the sand by accident many years ago. According to my father, it was a bank before the end of the world. My father said that this desert was not completely a desert before, and there are A very rich and large city was heavily bombed after the end of the world, there was a ten-level sandstorm for ten years, and when the sandstorm subsided, the city was also buried."

It seemed that a terrible sandstorm appeared before Zhang Zhen's eyes. It must be terrifying to completely bury a city underground.

"Well, send me out of the quicksand area." Zhang Zhen said to Jin Quan after the gold was loaded into the carriage.

Jin Quancai was still thinking about taking the initiative to lead the way, but it was a joy to see Zhang Zhen mentioning it. Now his father had no reason not to let him go, so he hurried to drive his own car.

Zhang Zhen brought Jin Quan out on purpose. He stopped the car when he got out of the quicksand area, and called Jin Quan to Jiaolong. Gold took up a large part of the space, and took out wine and apples and oranges in the small space left.

"Try it first, I'll cook something, let's have a meal together."

Jin Quan nodded his head excitedly looking at the apples, which were more juicy than those in Guangnao, and the oranges, which were more fragrant than canned fruit.

Zhang Zhen took out some chicken and put it in the rice cooker, stewed some rice, sat down and opened a beer and said, "You seem to know a lot about food before the end of the world."

Jin Quan peeled off the orange peel and bit the juicy orange petals, and his heart was about to melt. He nodded happily and said: "When I was young, I followed my father into the ruins under the desert to find things. Some of them were seen through pictorials and video resources, and some I found a similar processed food, but unfortunately I haven’t found it in the past few years.”

"You want to go outside the desert?" Zhang Zhen asked while drinking beer.

Jin Quan nodded and said: "The resources in the desert are becoming more and more difficult to find, and the wind and sand will bury the town, but my father insists that this is the safest place, but even if we successfully close the top, we will live underground, and we will die if we don't have food. , I want to look for opportunities outside, but my father disagrees."

Zhang Zhen smiled, seeing that the rice was cooked, he took out the meat and rice and put it away, without asking again, he ate with Jin Quan.

Jin Quan smelled the aroma of the meat, looked at the soup and was so excited that he couldn't utter a word, he just ate it with gratitude in his heart.

Zhang Zhen ate first, then found a box of cigarettes, and after Jin Quan finished eating, he threw the cigarette over and said, "Your father was right to protect the lives of everyone, but it doesn't affect you to come out and take a look. The wasteland is safe now, and there is a chance Come to Longyuan City to find me."

"Thank you, the city lord, I will definitely go." Jin Quan held a cigarette with gratitude and admiration on his face. In his eyes, Zhang Zhen is a hero. He can travel in the ghost desert by driving a dragon. He admires his courage. , not to mention that the Iron Bone Gang was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and he was even more curious about the rumors about Zhang Zhen's corpse king, and secretly sighed how happy he would be if he was lucky enough to participate in it.

Zhang Zhen bid farewell to Jin Quan and drove Jiaolong to continue on his way. This time, he didn't need to call the gophers to help him. He just walked along the way he came. The speed of the car was not up to the limit anyway, and the radar was enough to analyze the danger in the desert.

Of course there is a purpose for calling Jin Quan. The remaining gold in the town is not the main thing. The main thing is that if there is a war in the future, if you want to destroy the Four Seas, then you can't underestimate the ghost desert. In the future, this is the fastest way to enter the west. Automobile Town is the largest survival team in Ghost Desert, and it will definitely be used later.
