Chapter 218: Let Them Never Return
Sun Hao had been here more than once before, so he could be said to be familiar with the place.
With him leading the way, we hardly wasted any time on the road.
Nan Ci also noticed that there were many people traveling the same distance as them.
While Nan Ci was observing these people, these people were also observing Nan Ci and the other two.
To be precise, these people were observing the numerous fish with human faces.
Even the envy and jealousy in their eyes were not concealed at all.
Looking at their eyes, Nan Ci was worried whether they would do something and was secretly on guard.
But until they arrived at the destination, these people did not take any unnecessary actions.
There were many people coming early in the morning to exchange dead fish for supplies, and a long line had formed.
After Nan Ci and the others arrived, they naturally lined up at the end of the line.
Just as he stood still, Sun Hao came over and whispered, "Brother, don't worry. In the base, no one dares to rob during the day. Let these people watch, they dare not take action."
Hearing this, Nan Ci instantly understood the other meaning contained in it.
No one dared to take action inside the base, but what about outside the base?
They don't live in the base, so they will have to leave the base after exchanging supplies.
If someone tried to rob them at that time, the base would not care, right?
Although he thought so in his heart, Nan Ci was not worried at all.
Why worry about getting robbed?
Make sure they never come back!
Of course Sun Hao had no idea what Nan Ci was thinking. Seeing the smile on Nan Ci's face, he thought Nan Ci really felt safe, so he lowered his voice and spoke again.
“Brother, don’t think that you are safe in the base.
We have to go out after we exchange the supplies. Now there are many people watching us. After we go out, the road may be difficult to walk on!"
The old Taoist smiled with his mouth tilted, "It's okay, we are good friends, it's so lively."
"Brother, you—"
Sun Hao wanted to say something else, but when he looked at the expression on the old Taoist's face and thought about what the old Taoist had just said, he suddenly understood.
It's not that I don't understand, it's that I don't care at all!
What's this?
This is the confidence!
Looking at the human-faced fish in the cart, and then at the relaxed old Taoist priest and Nan Ci, Sun Hao also figured it out.
These two people have extremely strong fighting abilities and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people.
For such a person, even if he is robbed, it is still unclear who will win or lose!
Thinking of this, Sun Hao immediately changed his mind.
Originally, he was thinking that if someone really came to rob him after he left the base, he would run away quickly.
Anyway, this is not the first time he has experienced such a thing.
Those robbers knew that he was just a porter and they didn't care about him or make things difficult for him.
Whenever he encountered such a thing in the past, he would get away with it.
Even afterward, no one would bother him.
But this time, Sun Hao didn't plan to slip away.
Sun Hao vaguely felt that this might be an opportunity.
If he could really establish a relationship with these two people and get along well with them, his life would definitely not be bad in the future.
The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. Sun Hao nodded secretly, and his eyes became determined.
Nan Ci saw the change in Sun Hao's expression. Although he didn't know what he was thinking, judging from his expression, he should not have any hostility towards him and the old Taoist priest, so he didn't take it to heart.
As they talked, the team kept moving forward.
The speed is not fast, but it is not very slow either.
Half an hour later, it was finally their turn.
At this time, they were standing at the door of a house. At the door was a large scale with a frame on it, which was specifically used to weigh fish.
Put the human-faced fish into the frame and weigh them one basket at a time.
There were two people weighing the human-face fish, and another person was standing nearby, counting in a notebook.
Nan Ci just stood aside and watched, silently memorizing the numbers on the scale in his mind and adding them up one by one.
Because they brought a lot of human-faced fish, it took a long time to weigh them.
It took more than ten minutes to finally weigh all the human-faced fish.
"The total weight is 3,568 kilograms."
After hearing the man's report, Nan Ci was quite satisfied and nodded.
Although this number is slightly less than what she calculated, the difference is not big and there is no need to worry too much about it.
What Nan Ci was more curious about at this time was what kind of materials he could exchange for and what the exchange rate was.
As I was thinking about it, I saw the man take out a stack of cards from the drawer behind him.
These cards are specially made, and are exactly the same in size and pattern. The only difference is the numbers written on them.
The largest amount is ten thousand and the smallest is one.
The man picked and chose from a pile of cards, and finally put together the number 3568, and gave all the cards to Nan Ci.
"Take this and go to the next room to exchange for supplies."
Nan Ci took out the stack of cards and walked towards the next house with the old Taoist priest and Sun Hao.
When I arrived at the next room, I saw shelves placed against the walls on all sides of the room. There was a counter not far in front of the shelves, and people were standing between the counter and the shelves.
There are all kinds of things on the shelves, and there is a label under each item with a number on it, which should be the price.
This place looks similar to the supermarkets before the apocalypse, but it is a little different because you can't just go in and choose things by yourself.
To be honest, it is more like the supply and marketing cooperatives of the past.
At this moment, there were some people in the room picking things up. Everyone had a serious expression and was muttering to themselves, and it was unclear whether they were calculating the prices.
After taking a quick look around, Nan Ci turned his attention to the shelves.
When I first entered the house, I saw these shelves and they were filled with goods. I really felt that the goods here were dazzling.
But after looking at it carefully, Nan Ci found that this was not the case.
Although there are many things on the shelves, such as rice, flour, grain, oil, seasonings, salt, sugar, etc., the variety is pitifully small.
On the contrary, there are a lot of canned foods of various kinds.
But these cans don’t have any logos or fancy names on them, just the words “xx meat canned food”.
Sun Hao soon noticed that Nan Ci was staring at the cans, and explained quietly, "Those cans are made from the meat of those huge animals. I heard that after those animals grow bigger, although they are manic, their meat is delicious and contains various nutrients. It is beneficial to the body and not harmful. But the price is a bit high."
