Chapter 104: Shop, Vending Machine
The small shop in the Death Bell Town exudes a sense of age, with wooden shelves and windowsills, cloudy glass cabinet doors, and things displayed in twos and threes.
There are very few things for sale here, basically nothing.
Nanxing's eyes immediately fell on the rusty old vending machine in the store.
The red paint on the vending machine had almost peeled off, and she had a hunch that it was the prop she was looking for.
"That one is broken and can't be used anymore." A girl walked out of the door inside the convenience store with a smile on her face.
She looks somewhat similar to Xiaochun. Both sisters exude a positive and energetic spirit, just like the trees trying hard to take root and grow in the desert.
"Well, can you sell it to me? I want to use it to temporarily repair my car." Nan Xing didn't beat around the bush, but chose to ask directly.
She did need some materials to repair the areas corroded by the fat zombies.
"No problem, just take it and use it for free." The girl said readily.
"Thank you. Can I buy anything in the store?" Nanxing spoke softly, with a hint of smile in her clear eyes.
"You can exchange it for water or something else."
Ye Ying already knew the situation outside from the mayor. She was young and could accept new things faster.
There were a lot of things stored in the store, enough for the two sisters to eat for several years, so there was no problem in using them to exchange for what they needed most.
Nanxing's eyes wandered over the shelves and the product list, with hesitation on her face. She hesitated for a long time before deciding what she needed to buy.
10 kilograms of salt, 100 kilograms of coal, 5 thick quilts weighing 10 kilograms each, and 50 kilograms of flour.
In exchange, Nanxing gave Ye Ying some of her dried vegetables, fruits, jams, and fresh fruits, vegetables, and river fish.
Both parties are quite satisfied.
Nanxing was even more surprised to find that Ye Ying's shop actually sold coal, which meant that this desert not only had oil, but also coal mines.
She exchanged so many things at once, so Ye Ying personally drove her out of town to her RV.
Ye Ying's vehicle is a tricycle, which is somewhat similar to Nanxing's agricultural tricycle, but her tricycle has some modifications to make it more suitable for the desert.
“Ding Di——”
The tricycle started, Nanxing put on the goggles and hat, and pulled up the face mask.
"Let's go." Ye Ying's voice was very cheerful. She turned the handle and the car rushed out.
Nanxing couldn't help but exclaimed, what a fast speed.
But then a smile similar to Ye Ying's appeared on her face, and the feeling was very exciting.
…
When leaving the town gate, Nanxing saw the group of players again. They set up camp near the town. There were tents, simple wooden houses, and more strange tents.
Their camp is quite lively and people are working hard. Resources are scarce in the desert and abundant in the mines, but they cannot make a living from the mines.
They wanted to leave the desert, but neither their drinking water nor their means of transportation were sufficient.
You have to know that their only means of transportation is a bicycle that is as old as it can be.
Nanxing withdrew his gaze. This group of people seemed quite well-behaved.
However, Nanxing has already set his eyes on their space, which means they are destined not to be able to coexist peacefully.
"Sister Xiaoying! Sister Lily!"
The child who was entrusted with the important task by Nanxing stood up quickly when he saw them, still holding the apple in his hand, and was reluctant to eat it at all.
"Be good, take your car back later." Ye Ying patted her head, got out of the car and started moving things.
Nanxing returned to the car to move the goods down, but because her arm was injured, she could only move a little at a time, like a little hamster.
It took a while to get everything out of the car, doing it in small amounts and multiple times.
Seeing Ye Ying easily carrying a pile of supplies into the car, Nanxing couldn't help but envy her.
What a strong force!
"Let's go." After moving the things, Ye Ying took the child into the car, waved to Nanxing, and drove away in a leisurely manner.
I had no intention of talking to her parents to get closer to her.
To Ye Ying, Nanxing was just a traveler who would leave soon, so there was no need to waste time.
Nanxing had some ideas when looking at the Death Bell Town. Apart from the lack of water, this place is actually a paradise town.
She has space, and it doesn't matter how long she lives here.
If there is no poison gas.
But there was no point in thinking so much now. Nanxing withdrew his gaze and went into the plastic film, touching the quilt and bacon.
The desert is dry, and the quilt dried quickly in the sun. Because of the film barrier, it was not stained by sand. It exuded the smell of the sun and was warm.
Nanxing put the quilt and all the clothes back into the bedroom. The bacon and other things could be hung out to dry. After getting out of the RV, she also hung out the five thick quilts she bought from the grocery store to dry.
These quilts were prepared by her for winter, and she didn't know if 5 cotton quilts were enough.
Nanxing has never experienced a winter below zero degrees. Judging from the previous wind disaster, the winter temperature... will be at least minus 50 degrees Celsius.
There are still some families in the town that have cotton, but not much. Last year's cotton has been sold long ago, and the price is not high, it is kept very low.
In addition, there is not much land suitable for cultivation in the desert, so they mainly rely on animal husbandry to make money. Although the money is not much, it is more profitable than growing cotton.
Nanxing asked Ye Ying to help her collect several dozen kilograms of cotton and to make her a medium-length cotton coat, cotton pants, cotton shoes, cotton hat, and cotton gloves...
She would make at least ten sets, exchanging supplies such as water or fruits and vegetables.
Ye Ying agreed. There were no so-called zombies here, so they could just plant more.
After dealing with the quilt, Nanxing turned his attention to the vending machine.
Vending machine, game props, three chances to buy something.
She wrote down the type of game props she needed on a piece of paper and put it into the coin slot. The vending machine would then tell her how much she needed to pay to complete the deal.
Within 24 hours, regardless of whether Nanxing can complete the transaction, the transaction will be closed and the opportunity will be lost.
The first thing Nanxing thought of was the kettle. She needed another space kettle to store gasoline.
Another one is an autonomous driving robot, which would be best equipped with certain attack, defense, and monitoring functions, and a slightly higher level of intelligence.
She doesn't plan to look for human companions, it's too dangerous, robots are perfect for her.
She probably couldn't afford the price for the other incredible items she wanted, so these two were relatively suitable for her and what she needed most at the moment.
Then, change into a set of clothes that maintains a constant temperature, or put firearms and supplies into a space with a space magazine where all bullets can be used and they won't spoil...
Nanxing was in hesitation. She was not sure what price she would have to pay. What if she couldn't afford it, then she would miss a trading opportunity.
