Apocalypse Random Summoner

Chapter 668 The Magic Shell

City of Hope, this gathering has the material exchange of the Dragon Army, and its development is very fast. The main method is to use sea beasts to exchange for energy blocks, and then use energy blocks to exchange for necessary living materials and evolution potions.

The military will not let them continue to develop, but they have to pay a first-level evolution potion for those energy blocks. The evolution potion can only allow ordinary people to have the same strength as special forces. For the military, even if they are thousands of Humans have evolved, and they are not a threat.

But the military didn't know that when the people in the City of Hope were injected with the evolution potion, they had some special means, which allowed more people in the City of Hope to evolve, and the special means were extremely risky.

Five or six kilometers away from the coastal fortress, there are more than 3000 people, not many people, but they are very strict on foreign survivors, and the "free trade" market set up next to the City of Hope is unlimited.

Most of the exchange of items is also carried out in this market, and a shanty town soon formed around this market. Except for the market area, these are all left unattended.

The newly formed currency transaction uses a white shell collected by the sea. This shell is about the size of an egg. There is shell meat in it that can be eaten, but it is very unpalatable. If it is not for people who are starving to death, they will not eat it. I choose this kind of food, but this kind of shell is different. I don’t know who was the first to research it. Grinding the shell into powder and taking it with water can supplement nutrition. It is completely a kind of shellfish protein powder.

In the sea, except for large sea beasts, which are valued, such small things are ignored by people. After all, the seaside is very dangerous. In the last days, there will always be people who are "the first to eat crabs". The protein of this shellfish Fen is really unbelievable. This is shellfish, not soybeans. Obviously, this shellfish comes from an unknown world.

Lu Xuan asked a few people to come to this city of hope trading market together. Recently, the popularity here is very high and it is very lively. When the Royal Dragon Army and the military were hunting sea beasts every day, these people discovered strange shells. , There are also some strange small sea creatures. Although the number is limited, this has also solved the problem of hunger for hundreds of people.

I came here today to check the market situation. Now it is so popular here. Every day, many survivors carry items to the coastal fortress for exchange. This will greatly affect the order of the Dragon Army, so for once and for all, the Dragon Army still Choose the method of centralized procurement to obtain items.

The core members of the Royal Dragon Army have all come today, and they are still so conspicuous in casual clothes. There is no way for anyone to make clothes without extra fabric. They can only make clothes with sea animal skins. The material is similar to cowhide. It's not conspicuous, and it's still a group of people.

Coming out of the starship, they drove several suspended light tanks, and soon arrived at this free trading market. The market that was originally relatively quiet, became even quieter now.

Lu Xuan walked to a booth and asked, "What are these white powders?"

"This is shellfish protein powder. A small cup of water can supplement nutrition and physical strength. Take it once every three days and you won't be hungry." The seller is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a thin body and very eyes. Shrewd, he knew at a glance that he might have been in business before.

Lu Xuan asked again about the source of the shell, and the seller explained one by one, if it was replaced by other survivors, they would have been expelled long ago.

"What is this dark thing?" Lu Xuan asked curiously again, pointing at the things on the booth.

"This is shellfish, which can reduce internal heat and refresh the mind," the seller said.

"How do you sell these things?" Lu Xuan asked.

"It can be exchanged with food, crystal nuclei, and bullets." The seller said.

Lu Xuan didn't find anything wrong. It seems that it is not incomprehensible that this bullet can be exchanged for goods. After some inquiries, I realized that there are still many items that can be exchanged, which is confusing. They are all free trade. Prices are based on merchants and buyers themselves.

Shell meat can be exchanged for one bullet, which can be said to be the cheapest and unsellable item in the entire trading market.

The sales volume of shell powder is the largest, and the exchange method is very direct. Use shells to exchange shell powder. Why do you do this? It is because processing into powder still requires processing procedures, so this part of the labor cost will be directly from the amount of shells exchanged. deduction.

These white shells are very rare on the coast, but there are a lot of them on the sandy beds near the sea, but it takes a lot of risk to collect these shells. The first is polluted water sources, and the second is sea beasts. attack.

People who will not be infected when they enter the water for the first time will not be infected after that. Many people are taking risks, and the harvest may be dozens to hundreds of shells a day.

The protein powder made from one shell can make people not eat for three days. No one is willing to take risks, especially the younger children, whose harvest is relatively high.

In addition to these, there are also fish sellers, but there are not many of them. These people are desperate to go fishing by boat. In the ocean, the law of survival is that big fish eat small fish. Every time they catch them, there will be many small and strange fish.

At the beginning, many people were afraid to eat it, but some people tried it when they were in a hurry. The fish species on the earth can still be used, but those unknown fish species are different. They all have toxins in their bodies. After eating the unknown fish, it will produce mild poisoning symptoms such as paralysis, just like drinking too much alcohol.

People can be hungry, but regardless of that, after long-term use, those who eat these unknown fish will be immune to those bad conditions. Later, people know more about this kind of thing, and they get used to it. After the first few days, you can eat these fish normally in the future.

But after all, there are only a few fishing boats, and they dare not stay on the sea for too long. Not long ago, a small fishing boat was attacked by sea beasts, and no one survived. In the past three months, the sea beasts in the coastal waters have been more active than during the day. It is rare, which may have something to do with hunting sea beasts.

Some of the guards in the free market had already seen the people from the Yulong Army coming, and they had already told people to report back to the free city. Some of the guards in the hope market, although holding guns in their hands, were also very nervous after seeing this group of people. Nervous, so nervous that I even forgot that I was holding a gun in my hand.

Walking through the stalls one by one, most of them were scavenged from the city, and passing a stall selling leaves, Lu Xuan asked suspiciously: "Can these grasses be eaten?"

Lu Xuan saw these leaves in a very strange way. The leaves were the size of a palm, and they were very different from the leaves he had seen before. They were very flexible, and they were not as easy to be torn as ordinary plant leaves. But where there is no water source, such leaves will grow.
