Chapter 124 Market
They stayed in the mission hall for a while, then said goodbye to Lin Yan and Fang Ruxu and left.
It was still early, so Yun Shuhuai decided to go to the market.
According to the markings on the map, the market is located in the southwest corner of the base, and is a separate area for convenient transactions.
As the survivors trade more and more frequently, the market area is getting larger and larger, gradually extending to the surrounding areas. This is the place where the most survivors gather, except for the mission hall.
Driving to the vicinity of the market, Yun Shuhuai parked the car on the side of the road, and then the four of them got out of the car and walked there.
The stalls in the market are all laid on the ground. Rich people can set up a few brackets to look not too shabby, or ask earth-type or wood-type psychics to build a simple stall for themselves.
Of course, there are also big forces who have their own shops, which are full of goods, all of which are first-hand or second-hand goods collected from outside.
Now is the end of the world, and the quantity of goods sold by vendors in the market is far less than the scale of the market before the end of the world. In addition to the big forces, many survivors come to sell a little goods.
The things traded here include points and crystal cores, or bartering for what you want.
The four of them walked to the entrance of the market, and Yun Shuhuai said, "Xiao Xu and Xiao Wan, hold our hands. There are all kinds of people in there, so don't get lost."
"Okay!" Ye Zixu grabbed the hand of Xi Qing, who was closest to him, and asked, "But, aren't we all in the base? Even if we get separated, we will find each other quickly, right?"
"Yeah, but what if we meet bad guys? You are dressed so well, what if you get caught by bad guys and they ask us for money?" Yun Shuhuai looked at Ye Zixu and said.
"I can beat them." Ye Zixu waved his little fist, "I'll beat them up so that the bad guys won't dare to mess with us again."
Yun Shuhuai bent down and gently pulled Ye Zixu's face, "You little brat, do you have to cause trouble to be happy? Have you forgotten that your brother Xi was almost killed? He was so powerful but he almost lost his life. I think you have lived too comfortably with me and forgot that you met bad guys before."
When this matter was mentioned, Ye Zixu lowered his head and muttered, "I know."
Yun Shuhuai saw that he had a good attitude to admit his mistakes, and continued, "When we were outside before, I would protect you from zombies, but now in the base, Xi Qing and I are high-level psychics and have attracted everyone's attention. You and Xiaowan will also be targeted by many people if you follow us, so you must always be vigilant."
"Yes, zombies are not like humans. You can kill hundreds or thousands of zombies, but you are too young now. You can't beat the cunning adults at all. Humans will not show their hostility like zombies." Xi Qing also looked at them and said.
Yun Shuhuai suddenly thought of something. She clapped her hands and looked at Xi Qing and said, "Eh? Why not let them continue to finish their textbooks? It will be good for them to learn more."
"Good idea."
When Ye Zixu heard that he was going to study, his face immediately fell, "I don't want to! There are no teachers now and no exams. Why should I learn this?"
Many children of this age don't like going to school. Ye Zixu is one of them. He used to fantasize that one day the school would blow up and he would not have to go to school. After the apocalypse, the only thing that made him happy was that he really didn't have to go to school anymore. Since following Yun Shuhuai, except for fighting zombies, he spent the rest of his rest time playing games every day and living the life of his dreams. Now he is suddenly told that it would be better to let him go out to fight zombies than to go to school.
Yun Shuhuai patted him gently, "Of course it's to learn knowledge, and to help you grow your brain. If you get cheated, you'll have to help count money. From now on, you and Xiaowan should study for two hours every night before going to bed. If you don't know, you can ask us. You can play games after you finish studying."
The last sentence completely made Ye Zixu wilted. Xiaowan nodded
seriously. Yun Shuhuai knew that this child always liked reading. Books were the most common thing in her room.
"Xiaowan, you should take care of your brother more in the future." Yun Shuhuai said with his head down.
Ye Ziwan nodded and whispered, "Yes, I will."
Yun Shuhuai's few words determined Ye Zixu's future life. He lowered his head and let Xi Qing drag him forward in disappointment.
The four people walked into the market and were immediately attracted by the lively scene inside. Pedestrians came and went on the road. They looked at the goods in the hands of roadside vendors or placed on the ground, looking for what they needed. The noise and bargaining on the street continued.
There were a wide variety of things sold in the market, and food was the most popular.
Not far away, there was a man selling instant noodles. There were only two packs, priced at ten second-level crystal cores, but even so, the supply could not meet the demand. There were many people in front of him, and those who wanted kept raising the price. In the end, the package was sold at the price of thirty crystal cores.
This made the other three people stunned. If Yun Shuhuai took out the food in her space to sell, she would become a millionaire in a few minutes.
Yun Shuhuai saw the meaning in their eyes, "Don't think about it, I won't do that."
The four of them walked and looked around. Yun Shuhuai was familiar with this place and remained calm throughout. Xi Qing and the others walked around, and the various goods sold on the street made them dazzled.
It's not that the items are so rich that they are dazzling, but they just realized that everything can be sold for money.
For example, worn smelly socks, rotten wooden boards, light bulbs without bases, deformed water bottles, etc., which could be considered garbage before the end of the world, were sold as commodities by them, and there were really people buying them.
Yun Shuhuai led them through a crowded section of the road, and then walked inside, and it became much more spacious inside.
The part outside just now is the market for ordinary people, and this is the place where the superpowers gather to trade.
The layout of the stalls here is obviously much neater than outside. There are also many shops on both sides of the road. The things displayed inside also look much more exquisite. They are basically common supplies needed in the end of the world.
Food, clothing, medicine, sanitary products, fuel, tools, weapons, etc., and even rare items such as wine and tobacco for enjoyment.
The people here are basically superpowers. Their clothes are better than those of the ordinary people outside, and they use crystal cores to trade with each other.
The four people walked in all the way. Their clothes were too conspicuous, and they looked like people of great power.
Soon, they attracted the attention of street vendors. They shouted and recommended good things to the four people. Yun Shuhuai also smiled and waved to them, indicating that she was just looking.
When they walked to the door of a store, Yun Shuhuai heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw, "It's you."
Tao Zheng walked out of the store. Song Linchuan was sitting in the store and greeted them.
Tao Zheng said, "Are you here to shop? Have you seen anything good?"
"I didn't see anything. I just came here to get familiar with the environment..." Yun Shuhuai's face suddenly changed after she finished speaking, because she suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in blue clothes who was shopping in the store.
She curled her lips slightly.
Long time no see, Lu Jingyu.
