1031 Sorry, I take everything that the rich don’t like
Of course, if you ask which parts of a car are the most valuable, before the end of the world, they would naturally be the compressor and gearbox. But after the end of the world, since cars are no longer produced, the generators and batteries on them are more expensive.
They can be repaired and recycled. Of course, after being buried in the sand for so many years, some of the cars have broken down, so we can only use the metal car covers and seats.
If some cars are still drivable, or are relatively valuable luxury cars, they can be transported intact. At least you can earn a little bit of oil, which is about the same as the price of scrap metal, but you can still exchange it for some oil.
In short, it’s not a loss, otherwise so many mud mermaids would have been raised in vain.
The dark roadside was always quiet in the past. At this time, most people were asleep. Those who were still awake were the rich people who were still having auctions and parties. At the very least, these few rich people were calculating how to make money from the poor.
But tonight, the surrounding streets were a bit noisy and rustling, as if rats had invaded.
Some poor people living in the bus thought a thief had entered and would get up to see what was going on.
At this time, especially the children, if there is any movement, they will wake up immediately, stand by the window, and ask their mother: "Mom, mom, look, why are these cars moving by themselves?"
Then I would receive a message like, "It's so late and you're still not asleep. What nonsense are you talking about? Go to bed!"
Then the child would burst into tears, "Really, I'm not lying, these cars all moved by themselves and disappeared by themselves."
This alerted the adults, and then they looked in the dim light and saw that the cars that were piled on both sides of the road and almost buried in the sand were gone.
The rustling sound was like a mouse carrying something.
The adults covered the children's eyes and begged for forgiveness, saying that there must be something dirty involved for such a thing to happen.
"Sleep, sleep! Everything will be over after you wake up!"
The adults pulled the curtains, covered the children's eyes, and prayed continuously.
Until the sound gradually faded away.
This scene also happened in various places in the city, some in poor areas and some where rich people gathered. Those once luxury cars were like a pile of scrap metal. They were ruthlessly squeezed and kneaded into iron lumps by the insects and then carried away in heaps.
Some residents woke up the next morning to find that either the car that was once buried under the sand was gone, or only the motor of the car was left under the sand, and everything else was gone.
"I really don't understand, how can there still be people stealing these junk these days?"
"It's a good thing. Those broken things on both sides of the street were really a nuisance. Now that there's space, we can put some other things there."
Of course, there were also quite a few cars parked in the wealthy area. Jingshu led people to find a super large underground parking garage. The entrance was almost buried by sand. After entering, my goodness, it was full of various luxury cars.
Some of them are brand new cars that don’t even have the car film removed.
If she hadn't just heard that this was a wealthy man's private residence, she would have thought it was a parking garage for a car. ….
The wealthy man’s private villa has been emptied out, the houses are dilapidated, and only these cars are unwanted.
Yang Yang analyzed several scenarios: "Either it's after the apocalypse, earthquakes and various natural disasters, causing the roads to break down or be covered by the desert. These sports cars are completely unusable here, so they were abandoned. Or maybe the wealthy ran away or died, leaving them no time to deal with these things."
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Lang was very puzzled: "Why didn't he take all these cars with him when he ran away? Each of these cars costs millions or even tens of millions."
Yang Yang coughed and said, "When you are very rich, will you take a few clothes worth a few dollars with you when you run away?"
Zhang Lang shook his head. "I'll definitely bring something more valuable. A few pieces of clothing. To be honest, I don't even bother picking them up now."
Yang Yang snapped his fingers:
"Isn't that right? To the rich, these cars are just a few pieces of clothing in their wardrobe, clothes they can never wear again. Why carry them around?"
Zhang Lang opened his mouth and said, "This hurts my heart, my friend."
"Since the rich man has probably forgotten about this place, let's not be polite and help him clean up the parking garage so that it doesn't gather dust."
Tank used his excessive strength to help Bug transport the cars while asking innocently, "Jingshu, since you mentioned the parking garage, why don't we go to the car trading city? There must be a lot of cars there."
Jing Shu scratched her head. "We're in a hurry, so we're not picky. We just pick up whatever we want. The problem is, we're not familiar with the area, and we don't know where to buy cars. If it's a small market, there won't be many cars there, and it won't be enough to waste our time."
Yang Yang's fingers danced rapidly on the screen, and soon he said, "Two kilometers away from us is the largest used car market in the area. After the apocalypse, it became an abandoned city and was even robbed. If we go there, I guess there won't be many intact cars left."
Tank asked, "Then there's no need for us to go?"
Yang Yang snapped his phone shut. "Let's go, have the bugs transport these cars away. Let's quickly head to the used car market. If my guess is correct, there should be a lot of raw materials there."
"Raw materials?"
Yang Yang nodded. "Yes, the second-hand market must have been plundered back then, but there were also a lot of generators and batteries collected there. These are very valuable, especially in a backward place like Iran."
Jingshu's eyes lit up. "Yeah, now that mobile phone manufacturers don't produce them anymore, when the lithium batteries in our phones wear out, we have to buy lithium batteries from other places to replace them. On the black market, batteries and generators are always in stock."
"Walk."
The crowd rushed all the way to the largest local second-hand car market. This was a small town that was once very prosperous. One could tell by the piles of abandoned cars that covered half the city. Unfortunately, now, there was only a pile of scrap metal here.
Even Jingshu could only shake her head when she arrived. There was nothing worth picking up; the place had been ransacked several times. The valuable cars had been taken away, leaving only ordinary Mercedes-Benzes filling the square.
The rich look down on it and the poor can’t afford it.
I'm sorry, but all the remaining ordinary cars will be given to Jingshu at a lower price.
Jingshu asked Zhang Lang to direct the insects to dig a tunnel and then lift a truck for transportation.
Everyone went straight to the material warehouse, which was also the largest auto repair shop.
