As a strange beast hunter, he successfully moved into a deserted village.

The Huang people spent a day cleaning up Gao Qi's room, and then in the evening, Gao Qi and the others lived in.

A big house with many rooms can't live in the second floor if the water leaks on the second floor. The three rooms on the first floor can also be opened, but there is no water or electricity. The biggest advantage is that the glass is relatively complete, and the broken windows are blocked with wooden boards, so the temperature in the room is quite good.

The only problem is that since the desolate people were not afraid of them as a conqueror, Gao Qi could not let the desolate people here be free servants.

Without a flush toilet, you have to go to the dry toilet outside when you go to the toilet. Without twenty-four hours of hot water, this environment is already extremely bad for Anna, and even Gao Qi feels uncomfortable.

But Anna had no intention of returning to the city.

The catastrophe caused most humans to die quickly, so many houses completely retained the state before the catastrophe. At least the furniture and other things are still there. After decades, there are still a lot of furniture to use, so at least there will be tables, chairs and other things.

There are no candles, but there is a camping light that can be charged with solar energy. Although the lights are not very bright, the room is raised and it may be the only place nearby where the lights can be lit.

Mark stared at Gao Qi's camping light for a long time before he whispered: "I haven't seen lights lights in a long time, no matter which one."

Gao Qi couldn't understand Mark's murmur, so he just said calmly: "Mark, let me introduce the situation around here, where there are strange beasts, what are the species of strange beasts, and whether there are other gathering places for deserted people nearby, tell me."

After Anna's translation, Mark finally turned his gaze from the camping light to Gao Qi.

"The strange beasts have no fixed activity territory, but soon, a hunting group of our hunting team encountered the strange beasts in the wild. There were five of them in total, and only one of them came back alive. According to his description, the strange beasts were very small in size and large in number, and they were moving in groups."

The strength of strange beasts is not entirely divided by their size, and the small and large numbers of strange beasts are often more difficult to solve than larger strange beasts.

Gao Qi nodded, and then he said seriously: "So are there other deserted people nearby?"

"We are now about a hundred miles from Fresno, but we were very close to Fresno, but there was a large gang outside Fresno. They plundered everywhere. In order to avoid this gang, we could only move to the distance. Now we have been here for three years, but it is still the only village here."

Speaking of this, Mark seemed very disappointed because his life was not easy after being forced to migrate. They had to reclaim abandoned land and regain useful materials. In short, life would definitely not be easier.

It’s not interesting to have a more comfortable life. It’s unlikely to live a small village with only a few dozen people, but going to a city with too many populations or a deserted area is not what Gao Qi wants.

It is not as smooth as you imagine, and it is full of troubles everywhere. How to develop in the future is really a headache for Gao Qi.

Gao Qi sighed helplessly, and then he said to Mark: "So what are you mainly eating now?"

"The food grown is not enough to support our lives now. About half of our food rations are obtained from hunting. We raise pigs, some chickens, wheat and corn, and potatoes, and some vegetables."

After saying that, Mark shook his head helplessly and said, "But we lack pesticides, which leads to very low yields of crops. Vegetables are basically eaten up by bugs. Corn seeds are not good and there are no fertilizers. The yield per acre is only one thousand pounds, and when it is less, only six to eight hundred pounds, while wheat is even lower, so we have severely lack of staple food."

After converting it from a high level, one acre is about six acres, forty acres, or 0.4 hectares of land, and produces up to 900 kilograms of grain. This output is really too low.

Niu Lidong couldn't help it anymore, and he said without hesitation: "Can you farm? Why is the yield so low?"

Niu Lidong said it in vain, because Mark couldn't understand it, and Mark continued: "We are seriously short of salt and sugar and all seasonings and side dishes. There is a lot of salt left during the disaster, and the salt will not break. We can collect salt from various abandoned supermarkets and residents' families, but the risk of doing so is very high. As for sugar and other seasonings, we haven't seen them for a long time."

After saying that, Mark looked at Gao Qi with anticipation and said, "If you can bring us salt, sugar, seasonings, medicines, or anything we lack, we can..."

It seemed that he had made up a great decision. After he hesitating for a while, Mark finally said in a very cautious tone: "We can exchange anything!"

Gao Qi smiled and said, "What do you have?"

It’s not that I look down on the deserted people, but the problem is that the deserted people really can’t come up with something that they can like. When it comes to exchange, they must first have exchange value.

Mark thought for a while and whispered: "You guys are not short of anything, right..."

Gao Qi said bluntly: "Yes, we have nothing, but you have something to exchange. I need a servant who is responsible for cleaning our rooms, boiling water and cooking, and all kinds of miscellaneous work every day. Then I can give you bullets as compensation, and then I can give you what you lack as compensation, such as salt and sugar, or condiments, which are easy to say."

Mark raised his eyebrows and said, "Bullets are OK, how much bullets are you going to pay for!"

"How about a 5.56mm caliber, one person who works for a day and gives two bullets?"

Mark's eyebrows were raised again, and then he immediately said, "No problem! Yes, that's it."

Niu Lidong whispered from the side: "Brother Qi, the price is high, and you can't even use a bullet. What the people in the desert lack the most is bullets, and the most precious one is bullets."

Gao Qi smiled and said, "We are rich and powerful."

Anna, who has always been a translator, sighed and said, "I'm starting to get tired of life like this. It's a torture for me to translate these. It's too boring to be petty for a few bullets."

"This is life on the wasteland, this is the daily life of the wasteland people. Now we are just beginning to adapt, and you will soon get used to it."

Gao Qi also found it boring. This kind of life is neither convenient, not exciting, and very poor. It would be strange if anyone could like it. But he really needs a stable and stable place to calm down and carry out some research work.
