Chapter 67 Extremely Hot [VIP]
"Hey, hey, why are you guys pushing each other? Do you know you have to queue?"
The man and woman in front of them wanted to go up to Tang Tian, but the people who were waiting in line to exchange supplies were not happy and raised their hands to stop them.
The woman with the hottest temper actually started cursing:
"You bitch! We were the ones who gave you the stall in the first place and advertised it diligently, yet you're so quick to switch sides? I've known for a long time that you're a profit-seeking person!"
It turned out that these two people were Zhang Huaiping and Ruan Liru.
The people in the queue also heard that Tang Tian had changed jobs and came here to continue setting up a stall, and they couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Fortunately I jumped over and they had a chance to change!
Tang Tian paused for a moment before saying to the two of them:
"Setting up a stall in the market only makes you half a businessman. Merchants value profit above all else. You don't have traffic there anymore, and you don't have the supplies I want to exchange, so why should I keep it? Besides, the supplies I earned for you are enough for you to live on for several more months!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Ruan Liru put her hands on her hips and continued to curse, "Are we not going to support others? That's so easy for you to say. Mr. Tang, you're just a heartless bitch who turns your face against others..."
"That's enough! What are you arguing about?"
The scene was chaotic, but new voices soon emerged.
Following the sound, I saw a big man with leadership qualities. He was probably the leader of the shelter or the highest-level manager of the commercial street.
"This lady is right, that's exactly what she said! Zhang Huaiping, are you here today to snatch someone from me?"
Zhang Huaiping gritted his teeth and said:
"Liang Xiaoliang, if you hadn't lured the people who were originally with me to your place, and even the people from my shelter, how could I have come here today?"
Liang Xiaoliang laughed a few times before answering with a sneer:
"What do you mean by luring you here? You're already at the end of your rope. It's the end of the world now, and people will voluntarily go to stronger and better places. You can only blame yourself for being too weak. What can I do?"
Hearing this mockery, Zhang Huaiping and Ruan Liru stepped forward together, but were immediately stopped by Liang Xiaoliang's men.
The latter just waved his hand, and his men took the two away.
Although she was tied up, Ruan Liru didn't stop talking. She was still cursing Tang Tian and Liang Xiaoliang, and the sound echoed in the air for a long time.
With Liang Xiaoliang here, the team calmed down and no longer rushed to exchange supplies.
Tang Tian also understood that this person was no ordinary person, so she stood up and looked at him directly, nodding as a greeting.
Liang Xiaoliang waved his hand again, quite proudly:
"Miss Tang, please continue. We can talk about it later if there's anything else. If anyone else makes trouble, I have people here who can maintain order!"
Tang Tian agreed and continued to exchange supplies.
However, she did not replace all the people who came today. Seeing that more and more people came, after about three quarters of an hour, Tang Tian shouted through the loudspeaker:
"I'm out of supplies, come back next time!——"
People who were queuing in the high temperature immediately started to complain. If it weren't for Liang Xiaoliang's subordinates who stayed behind in advance to manage the situation, I'm afraid it would be even more confusing.
But Tang Tian understood that it was only because Liang Xiaoliang saw the value in her that he was so polite to her. If she didn't have that value, she would be worse than trash.
Not long after, Liang Xiaoliang came again, this time with a smile on his face.
The two men got to know each other, and Liang Xiaoliang was indeed the highest manager of this commercial street and the management of that community.
It must be said that they implemented this shelter plan because they saw that Zhang Huaiping's trading market had so much traffic.
It just so happened that there was a commercial street close to them, so they opened it and did not forget to poach some people from Zhang Huaiping. Sometimes business wars are just so plain and simple.
But they didn't know that the reason why Zhang Huaiping's trading market had such a huge traffic for a while was entirely because of the young girl in front of them.
"I wonder where Miss Tang is from? With so much supplies, could it be from the authorities?"
Liang Xiaoliang couldn't believe that someone in the apocalypse could swallow so many supplies by himself and even exchange them for valuables. It was really unbelievable.
Tang Tian replied calmly:
"Mr. Liang, people these days don't care where they come from. I haven't gone to an official shelter either. I just want to exchange something I want with you, that's all. Let's just treat it as a mutual benefit."
Liang Xiaoliang heard that Tang Tian didn't want to say more, and was afraid that Tang Tian would be unhappy and not come again, so he stopped talking.
But I was thinking that I must let her stay in the shelter here someday.
So he verbally promised that Tang Tian's shop would always exist and that she would not have to pay an entrance fee every time she came, and he looked very welcoming, but at the same time he also agreed on the time for the next opening of the shop.
…
It is impossible to go to the trading market every day, Tang Tian
After spending all the valuables she had obtained in exchange for gold, she looked up and saw that the number [700,000] was already displayed on the gold coin column.
This amount of gold coins is not particularly much for them now, so Tang Tian decided to save some more so that she can spend money on them when the time comes.
Tang Tian's business is gradually getting better, but the central villa is no longer as brightly lit as before.
She discovered this after she came out to collect relief supplies. Even some girls had a look of worry on their faces.
, is this true or false?”
"How is that possible? The reason why rich people are rich is because they are farsighted and insightful. I've found out that those rich people started stockpiling goods long before the apocalypse. Otherwise, how would they have the time to eat, drink and have fun?"
"But fewer and fewer people have been coming lately. What should we do if they stop coming?"
"Yu Wei is right. We don't have much material capital. As a woman, we just want to learn those useless things.
"In my opinion, it's all Luo
After hearing these whispers, Tang Tian did not comment much.
But she did learn some information from Gu Bin.
As the saying goes, when you have enough food and clothing, you will think about sex. Those good-for-nothings will not let go of this opportunity.
It is said that Jiangnan Liyuan was the first to open up this area. Even if other red-light districts appear nearby, this place is still the first one that cannot be ignored or forgotten.
It's just that recently the authorities have become fed up with this behavior and have launched a nationwide training program. No matter how rich or powerful your family is, you must participate in the training and go out.
That's why Tang Tian met Qiao Shiyu and others. The team was probably made up of rich second-generations.
Since they started training at night, naturally they didn't have much time to have fun in Jiangnan Liyuan. The living conditions of the girls in the villa also declined, and they began to complain.
In their eyes, Tang Tian was an outsider who took advantage of their remaining supplies for free, which naturally made them feel unhappy.
However, Tang Tian also wondered if the shelter was really short of supplies, but no matter how she tried to inquire, Gu Bin remained tight-lipped.
She had no choice but to stop pressing him and just said that they would trade again if they found supplies next time.
Later, when Tang Tian went to teach self-defense, the number of girls who came was indeed half less.
Luo Qi looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately Tang Tian didn't mind. She just had to complete her task.
Three days later, Tang Tian packed her things and set off for the trading market managed by Liang Xiaoliang.
It seemed that the people there had been instructed to let Tang Tian in as soon as they saw her, and they were very tactful to advertise.
Even residents in that community who had valuables came to exchange them for supplies.
However, there were more people here than at Zhang Huaiping's place. Although Tang Tian had already revealed that she had supplies, she didn't want to reveal too much, so she stopped the transaction after about half an hour.
Because Liang Xiaoliang's management was stricter, people did not make a fuss. Instead, they repeatedly asked Tang Tian when she would come to trade next time before leaving reluctantly.
Tang Tian made a rough calculation and figured out that she could spend around 200,000 gold coins this time!
Just when I was thinking about going home quickly, Liang Xiaoliang came over with a group of people.
"Miss Tang, please wait a moment!"
Liang Xiaosheng stepped forward with a smile and introduced the people around him:
"I see you seem particularly fond of jade and jadeite. This is Mr. Yu Hongchuan. Before the apocalypse, he opened a jadeite rough stone trading market. I wonder if you're interested?"
Tang Tian turned to look when she heard the key words.
Yu Hongchuan is a man in his fifties. He has obvious signs of being thin and tanned, and his spirits are only slightly better than those of ordinary people.
However, the look he gave Tang Tian was filled with undisguised contempt, and he even asked directly:
"Manager Liang, I came here with you because you said someone could swallow my batch of jadeite. But it turns out to be a young woman? Are you sure?"
Liang Xiaoliang coughed:
"Mr. Yu, you don't know that Miss Tang has been here several times to exchange supplies for valuables, and your jadeite stones are among them. That's why I wanted to introduce you to her."
Yu Hongchuan didn't say anything, but he still didn't quite believe it.
Seeing this, Tang Tian said:
"Since Mr. Yu doesn't believe it, then forget it. Besides, the jadeite rough stone needs to be cut open to get the jade inside, which is too troublesome. It will be the same if I continue the transaction with you."
If you don't have special abilities, you need professional tools to cut stones, and you may have to work hard to get a very small amount, which is too low in cost-effectiveness.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yu Hongchuan became furious and said with a red face:
"My market has been open for many years, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. If I hadn't been reluctant to give up all the hard work I've put in over the years, I would have thrown it away long ago! Besides, I don't believe a woman like you can have so many supplies!"
Liang Xiaoliang quickly tried to smooth things over:
"How about this? Both parties take a look at the goods first, and then discuss it peacefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both of you!"
In fact, he also has his own ideas.
Yu Hongchuan also lives in that community and is a wealthy man. If this deal can be completed, not only will the market's reputation be spread, but Zhang Huaiping's market will also be defeated.
Yu Hongchuan snorted coldly:
"My market is in Area B, and the rough stones are all in a fully enclosed warehouse. They shouldn't be flooded. You can see them just by going there once."
Tang Tian rolled her eyes, then pretended to shake her head and said:
"Zone B is almost downtown, it's too far from here. Transportation is inconvenient now, and I have to spend time and energy to check it out. It's a waste for me!"
"unless……"
"Unless what?"
Liang Xiaoliang interrupted Yu Hongchuan's temper and asked quickly. Deep down, he still hoped that Tang Tian would accept the deal.
"Unless you get me a good car first, I'll go to Area B and take a look. If it's really as good as Mr. Yu said, I'll take it all and exchange it for supplies. If not, I'll just come back directly. How do you think?"
It is not easy to collect all the good cars and sufficient resources at present.
This sounds like the best solution at the moment. After all, without Tang Tian, who would want to collect so many jadeite raw stones?
Yu Hongchuan calmed down and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I'll prepare a car for you, but I can't be without anything. I need a deposit first. Otherwise, what if you secretly take it away and run away?"
After all, he still didn't believe that Tang Tian had so many supplies.
Yu Hongchuan's request was barely reasonable. Tang Tian thought about it and took some money out of her backpack.
He pulled out five pounds of dried meat, packaged grain bricks, pre-prepared meals, and even two bottles of wine.
Not only Yu Hongchuan, but even Liang Xiaoliang's eyes widened.
Instant noodles, canned food, and compressed biscuits have almost become currency and are often circulated openly.
But Tang Tian’s products are more like processed products made from existing ingredients.
Or maybe they were collected from somewhere and have good storage conditions, which is much better than the official ones.
Yu Hongchuan's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, now I trust you, Miss Tang. I'll go get the car ready and we'll meet up then!"
After making an appointment, Tang Tian left the commercial street and returned to Jiangnan Liyuan, telling Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia about this matter.
"Going to Area B? That's a bit far. When can you come back?"
Wei Mingxia would always be a little worried, not to mention that Tang Tian might go out alone this time.
"Before the apocalypse, driving to Area B would have taken a day at most. Now it might take two days. But after a round trip, I'll definitely be back within a week."
Tang Tian said, and took out a few items from the warehouse:
"We definitely won't be able to communicate with each other over such a long distance, so I specially prepared a radio when I stocked up. I'll use it when the time comes."
"Jiangnan Liyuan may be arranged to accommodate refugees in the near future. Please stay safe at home. It's okay to use your supernatural powers when necessary. It's okay as long as the person dies."
Tang Tian gave some instructions in return, and three days later, she took Tan Tan to the trading market management office to meet Liang Xiaoliang.
Liang Xiaoliang was with Yu Hongchuan, and Yu Hongchuan was driving a fully fueled off-road SUV.
After paying the deposit, Tang Tian drove off to Area B.
…
In order to save fuel, Tang Tian did not turn on the air conditioner, but directly covered the car with ice properties. Not only was the car cool, but there was no need to worry about overheating and causing spontaneous combustion.
So she didn't stay indoors during the day, but instead drove at full speed from the start. There was no traffic control, and her speed increased a lot.
When Tang Tian arrived at Area B, it was almost nightfall.
The area closer to the city center indeed has brighter lights than District S, and the lights cover a larger area.
Tang Tian stopped the car temporarily and took out the map to look at the location of the warehouse that Yu Hongchuan told her.
Only the last ten kilometers remain.
Putting down the map, Tang Tian took out a few pieces of dried meat and threw them into the air one by one.
Tan Tan, who had already smelled the aroma of the dried meat, was ready to go and caught them all bite by bite.
The last one just held it in his mouth, then lay down and chewed it carefully to savor it.
Tang Tian couldn't help laughing, so she also made a cup of sour plum soup and a mango glutinous rice cake from the system and started eating them.
Mango Glutinous Rice Ball's ability is endurance enhancement LV5. Fortunately, she now has many ability columns, so one more ability is not a big deal.
The glutinous rice balls, which are bigger than a fist, are filled with several pieces of mango and cream. The mouth is full of smooth, refreshing sweetness, and one can make you half full.
After eating and drinking, Tang Tian wiped his mouth, restarted the car, and prepared to continue to the warehouse.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a roar of motors was heard, and several off-road vehicles suddenly appeared from all directions, directly surrounding Tang Tian's car.
It was obvious from the look on his face that he was being robbed.
As expected of a place close to the city center, the power of the robbery itself has been upgraded. Tang Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The next second, a voice from the loudspeaker sounded:
"Everyone in the car, get out immediately! Leave the supplies and the car behind! Otherwise, your life will be in danger!"
Tan Tan bared his teeth in the car, but didn't scream.
Tang Tian curled her lips and took out a spear from the warehouse.
This spear was made from the homemade spear she seized from the pirates, and then modified using the furnace power. Not only was the lethality upgraded, but a lot of bullets could also be made.
There are not many opportunities to start a war, so now is a good time to test my strength.
The sound of the loudspeaker continued to loop. Perhaps the enemy in the car was getting impatient and was driving slowly closer, saving Tang Tian the trouble of getting close.
Looking through the car windows, I saw that there was no anti-peep film on the cars, and even people's heads could be seen clearly.
So Tang Tian opened the car window a little, put the gun barrel up, took aim, and immediately fired a bullet!
With a bang, the car window glass was shot through, and the driver behind the hole was shot in the head and lay in front of the steering wheel.
The sound of the loudspeaker immediately disappeared, and soon another group of people got off the bus, holding various weapons in their hands.
"Quick! Throw it away!"
At a command, the group of people threw the things in their hands, and after they broke, a line of sparks ignited on the ground.
They actually did □□?
Tang Tian looked at the flames on the ground without panic, and continued to shoot, killing the first few people.
Then he flipped his palm and a glass bottle appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Every time beer is packaged using a packaging machine, one type is canned and the other is bottled.
Moreover, after drinking the liquid inside, these packages will not disappear out of thin air, so Tang Tian also collected them.
And this kind of glass wine bottle is just the right thing for making □□!
Of course, Tang Tian would not be an ordinary womanizer.
Moreover, after eating a red dish, he used his supernatural flame and put it into these wine bottles for preservation. When he smashed them again, it would produce the same effect as □□.
The most important thing is that the power of this weapon has been greatly increased!
"Strange, why didn't the car catch fire?"
"Why don't we retreat first? That guy has a gun and can shoot. We've already lost several people!"
"People who drive this kind of car either have supplies in the car or in the back. If all else fails, we have to capture the people inside and get the supplies!"
Before the discussion was over, the car window was opened again.
Before they could react, several identical bombs were thrown at them with great force. After a few bangs, a raging fire broke out.
People panicked and got into their cars to escape, but as soon as a spark touched their bodies, they would instantly catch fire, and the vehicles would also catch fire.
Tang Tian then stepped on the accelerator to escape from the burning environment, and behind him were bursts of screams. Soon, thick black smoke rolled up, the color of which was like the sunset at that moment.
By the time the sun set and the crescent moon rose, the vehicles had been burned to skeletons and there was no one to be seen.
Tang Tian had already driven away from that place. Under the moonlight that was like a veil, she saw some vehicles passing by on the road with their headlights on, but those were not robbers.
Area B was not a place where one would need to stay for long, so Tang Tian did not think much about how many shelters there were here, but went to the raw stone warehouse without stopping.
After finding a corner to get out of the car and put it away, Tang Tian took out the warehouse key that Yu Hongchuan gave her, opened the door, and then turned on the powerful flashlight.
Seeing the scene in front of her, her eyes still lit up.
Nearly half of the warehouse is filled with jadeite raw stones of various sizes!
Tan Tan sniffed the ground, showing no interest at all, and just stayed obediently beside Tang Tian.
As long as you are lucky, the jade you can get here will weigh more than just a few kilograms.
And when you spend money on your own system, it all depends on the weight!
However, opening jadeite raw stones is actually similar to opening blind boxes. Both involve gambling. Many people have lost their fortunes on this, but they just can't stop.
This is too much about personal luck. For example, someone opened hundreds of kilograms of raw stones, but in the end only got jade that could be made into two bracelets.
Some people simply open a few kilograms of raw stones, and find that two-thirds of them are jade.
Tang Tian casually touched an irregular piece of raw stone and silently asked the system in her mind, this piece of raw stone weighs nearly seven or eight kilograms, but the jadeite that can be used to make gold is only one or two ounces.
Jade is still the second-tier krypton gold item. Fortunately, there are many raw stones here, and the shortage should be made up by quantity in the end!
After Tang Tian made up her mind, she went to check if there were any cameras or other equipment in the warehouse.
After confirming that everything was correct, he tidied up his warehouse and collected all the raw stones.
Tan Tan was not surprised by this and even yawned.
"Are you tired?"
Tang Tian stroked the dog's head and thought that they could take a short rest before going back.
So she closed the warehouse door again, reinforced the lock with her gold-attribute ability, then took out her tent and sleeping bag, ready to spend the night there.
It is not clear whether there are any accommodation-like places extending from the more prosperous central area, but Tang Tian, who is alone outside, does not feel safe there.
In her previous life, she didn't dare to spend the night outside, and she didn't have the corresponding equipment, so no matter how tired or sleepy she was, she had to return home to feel at ease.
Although Jiang Yao and Tang Haifeng's family are still at home, at least they are safe for the time being.
After tidying up her own limited nest, Tang Tian took out a box of self-heating rice with twice-cooked pork, which can be heated by adding water.
But even if it was a meal outside, she would not be perfunctory and took out a whole smoked pig's head and two bottles of beer from the warehouse.
Tang Tian obtained meat from the ranch, and often body parts and offal, all of which she kept.
However, she believes that body parts can be prepared using a smoker, while offal is more suitable for braising.
She has already made up her mind that after she gets enough money this time, she will definitely go to the shopping street to see if there are any new equipment to buy so that she can make more delicious food!
