End Times Dust Light

Chapter 1003: trade

Murong Bopeng’s matter, of course, Zhang Yechang was the best to come forward. Xi’an also knew that using a hostage would not work. Except for Murong Bopeng’s proposal, Xi’an didn’t seem to know about it.

After the military commission failed in the Jixiang sneak attack, there was no more news. The contact with the military commission was limited to lip-fighting. Lu Ziming asked the military commission to release Chang Yan. I hope that Lu Ziming will come to pick Chang Yan back. Of course, I also know that Lu Ziming will not go. If he arrives at the Military Commission, Lu Ziming will stay with Chang Yan in the Military Commission.

The plan to attack the three small counties was very smooth, mainly for the purpose of actual combat training, but many military observation groups followed to the battlefield, trying to figure out the military trump card in Xincheng.

The real difficulty in attacking the three small county towns is not attacking the twenty or thirty thousand zombies in the small county town. In addition to collecting the scarce crystals, it is mainly training in the survival ability in the wild. Although thousands of soldiers traveled across the mountains and rivers to reach the small county town, it seems very simple. But once in the wild, everything will happen.

On the marching road during the day, a few dark creatures would often suddenly burst out from the side. Sometimes the long and narrow marching team couldn’t react at all, so the dark creatures rushed into the marching team, causing chaos in the marching team, and often people were injured.

At night, it is time for dark creatures to appear in the wild, and it is good to fall asleep listening to the gunfire. Camping in the wild often doesn’t go to the village or the shop. If you find an open space, you will set up a tent. In the middle of the night, a mutant creature will suddenly emerge from the ground. If you sleep in a daze, you will die. If you die all night, When I woke up, I didn’t find the comrades around me disappeared. They would celebrate each other and live another day.

This is also the main reason why it is difficult to communicate between various forces. Just imagine that a base sends thousands of soldiers to reach a long-distance target, and it often takes more than ten days. During this period of time, there is no support and no supplements. You can only bear any danger yourself.

Some bases have airplanes, but most of the time they can only be hidden in the bases, and they dare not fly into the sky at all, because the sky is the territory of mutant birds.

Mutant birds can be more difficult to deal with than the dark creatures on the ground. It is often clear that a mutant bird cannot be seen overhead, but as soon as the plane takes off, the huge engine noise immediately attracts the mutant bird from the forest, often The plane crashes and deaths, coupled with the mutated birds being injured together, is much worse than the previous bird flocks around the airport.

Even if there is no plane, mutant birds often attack human bases. Xincheng has been attacked by surrounding mutant birds for almost two or three days. Now Xincheng citizens go out on the streets and look up from time to time. If they find that the top of their heads suddenly When a black shadow floats, it will run around looking for shelter like a rabbit meeting an eagle.

This happened in Xincheng. A child didn’t know when he ran out to play on the ground. At this time, a mutant bird with a wingspan of four meters descended from the sky and grabbed the child from the ground and carried it to the sky until the soldiers on patrol found it. , Did not dare to shoot, and could only watch the children disappear from sight.

For this reason, extremely long roofs have been built above the sidewalks in Xincheng, which are not used to prevent wind and rain, but to prevent mutant birds in the sky from suddenly attacking the citizens.

Marching in the wild often encounters different and unexpected accidents, but it is not realistic to stick to the city base, especially when supplies are in short supply, it is extremely important to go to the wild to find supplies left over from the end times.

The construction of Xincheng requires a lot of cement and steel. Some of these materials can be found in the surrounding area at the beginning. As time goes on, the search range will become farther and farther. Some search teams often find important things only one or two hundred kilometers away from Xincheng. After returning to Xincheng, losing a few people became commonplace.

It can be said that Xincheng is losing population every day, and the base of the population is particularly important. On the one hand, of course, it is to advocate more children for citizens. Xincheng has made great efforts in this regard, not only encouraging more children, but also Real material rewards even help families with many children to raise. On the other hand, it is to gather the refugees scattered in various places. Now the refugees are not easy to find. The surrounding refugees are long gone. If the refugees farther away are not escorted by a large number of troops, they will not be able to reach Xincheng at all.

So Chang Linshan sent a large number of people to Xincheng. It is definitely a gift in the snow, a gift of pie in the sky!

The various forces stationed personnel in Xincheng, which is equivalent to the level of intelligence officer ambassadors. Of course, Xincheng will also station its own personnel to other forces. Of course, the purpose is well known, but communication has indeed become very convenient. Lu Ziming even Through such exchanges, I have eaten the fresh lychees in Lingnan. Some cleverly dispatched personnel will often use the opportunity of exchanges to entrain some of Xincheng’s scarce commodities to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. Lu Ziming always closes one eye. There is even a taste of encouragement.

If there is a private transaction, there will be official material channels. The surplus material of one power may be the material that is in short supply by another power, but no one will give it to the other party in vain, and some sensitive materials, such as food, will not become Materials of the transaction.

At the same time, most of the ways of trading are bartering, or using the only recognized crystal as the currency of the transaction, and the bulk of the material traded in Xincheng is coal. Who makes Jinzhong rich in coal?

Whether it is before the end of the world or after the end of the world, coal is a commodity in short supply. Although there are other forces that sell coal, the mining of coal is subject to many restrictions. It is much more difficult than before. It must be exchanged for the steel that Xincheng lacks. This partly eased the supply of Xincheng steel.

Military materials are within the scope of the blockade. Under normal circumstances, without marathon negotiations, coupled with the shortage of key technical materials that both parties are satisfied with, it is impossible to trade at all.

Among the materials sold by Xincheng, the short-distance communicator is the best-selling one. The official price of this castrated version of the short-distance communicator is as high as 500 crystals, and it is available in a limited quantity. The black market has even sold thousands of crystals. Also often out of stock. Although Xincheng knows that Xincheng has done tricks in this kind of communicator, other forces can only pinch his nose to recognize it. Who makes this kind of communicator outstanding in quality and easy to use? Without any base station, it can travel 200 kilometers. It can be used as a walkie-talkie. If you buy an unmanned base station in Xincheng, it can be seamlessly connected with other surrounding base stations within a range of 500 kilometers, which brings great convenience not only for civilian use, but also for military use. Not selling well is a weird thing!
