Chapter 128 The feeling of suddenly becoming a nouveau riche
The material trading center of Haizhou base is very large. In addition to these off-site markets, it is mainly divided into four areas, namely the vehicle trading area, the weapon trading area, the bulk grain, the oil trading area, and the crystal core trading area.
From the outside to the inside of the trading center, Su Ziyan clearly felt that the abortion inside was much less than the outside, but because the corridor was narrow, she did not feel that the passage had become much looser.
The first thing a few people came to the vehicle trading area, where they were engaged in the transaction of various types of cars, from ordinary family cars to police special cars. After the arrival of the end of the world, a large number of cars were abandoned on the streets. If they had the ability to transport them back, they could be sold here as goods.
"It's still quite lively here..." Su Ziling watched curiously as the two parties in the transaction bargaining there. Of course, it is impossible to trade in physical goods in the trading area. After both parties reach an intention here, they will have to go to the outside of the base to conduct on-site transactions.
But even so, the scene was really lively. The buyers and sellers kept arguing, and the spit was splashing in the air. In addition, there was no fan or air conditioner, everyone was sweating.
Su Ziyan nodded gently and glanced at her eyes. She guessed that there should be hundreds of buyers and sellers here, and in terms of vehicle transactions, it was already lively enough.
The few people did not stop here, and soon walked through several sheds and came to an area specifically involved in weapons trading.
The weapons trading area is set up in the original student cafeteria, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are arranged, making Su Ziyan and others who are just entering here dazzled. The transaction scope involved in the weapons trading area covers various controlled knives, stun guns, even pistols, rifles, micro-rushes, etc., and is engaged in a certain amount of ammunition trading.
Among them, controlled knives and various simple weapons that have been transformed in the later stage are the main transactions here. After all, there are still very few people who can actually get guns in this society. It is not easy for most people to get a strong crossbow, and it is already very difficult for big swords. Therefore, relatively speaking, the transaction of guns is quite expensive, and only some combat teams can afford it.
If there is a gun, of course it also requires a lot of ammunition, which is very expensive. Su Ziyan and others came here this time, and they were actually thinking of purchasing some ammunition. They came to the base all the way, and the ammunition in stock was almost exhausted. If they didn't replenish some, they would see that the spear turned into a fire stick.
But when they saw the prices marked at each stall, they couldn't help but shocked them.
Although the prices marked by each stall owner give different prices according to the type of bullet and the transaction volume, they are basically very expensive. A bullet can hold up half a kilogram of grain, and a shuttle can be used to blow out the food for an adult for several days.
"Be good, these bullets are really expensive!" Jiang Yan looked surprised and said to a dark-skinned stall owner: "Boss, are the bullets here so expensive?"
The boss glanced at Su Ziyan and others, and saw that they thought it was expensive, he curled his lips and said, "Can this be expensive? At the critical moment, this is a life-saving thing! Do you think life is important or money is important? Besides, we have not gotten these ammunition from the city at the risk of our lives? We have to gain something after paying risks, right?"
Jiang Yan was speechless and felt that what the stall owner said was reasonable.
Su Ziyan's eyes fell on the ammunition placed on the table, with a total of three magazines. It seemed that the stall owner was also a small business.
In fact, the largest seller in the weapon area is the official base, but the price of weapons provided by the official is slightly higher than that of the people, but the advantage is that they can be supplied in large quantities. Therefore, if large combat squads find it troublesome, they can directly trade with the official. The official also armed the combat squads under their control through this means to achieve a win-win situation.
But then again, the end of the world is no better than before. If you have money, you are not willing to squander so simple, so you are not really rich and powerful, and everyone is more willing to go to the trading area to try your luck.
He nodded slightly, and a few people went to other stalls again. The dark-skinned stall owner didn't care. Anyway, bullets were always popular, so he was not afraid of not being able to sell them for a good price. So he waited for the customers to come to the door like an old monk entering a meditation.
After walking around the weapons trading area for a while, Su Ziyan and the others saw a different stall in one corner. This was a bearded stall owner who specialized in selling grenades and various small landmines. The shop was not big, but the shelves were full of shelves.
"Boss, how do you sell this grenade?" Su Ziyan pointed to a spherical grenade on the shelf.
"Forty-five dollars each, no bargaining."
She said intimately that the voice was really precious, and Su Ziyan asked, "Can I let me touch it?" She wanted to consider how heavy it was.
"Give it!" The stall owner handed the grenade to Su Ziyan without saying a word. This refreshing spirit surprised Su Ziyan very much.
"Hey, is this empty?" Su Ziyan looked carefully and found that the grenade's fuse was actually removed.
"Of course, it wasn't that I had dismantled the fuse. I dare to play with you casually?" Seeing Su Ziyan weighing the grenade, the stall owner smiled.
But this smile made Su Ziyan a little unhappy, as if she was being looked down on her head. She frowned slightly, but she didn't care. She secretly thought in her mind that with her current strength, it would not be too difficult to throw the grenade for more than 200 meters. Even if the grenade was a little more solid, she might throw it out for 300 meters.
This can come in handy when her superpower fails. The only regret is the price issue.
"Boss, you won't have duds here, right?" Su Ziyan handed the grenade back and asked with a beautiful face with a smile.
"What are you saying? How long have I been in this business? Will I still sell inferior goods to you?" The stall owner immediately changed his face, looking like he could not bear the grievance.
Su Ziyan smiled: "It seems that the end of the world has only happened for more than a month. Have you done this business before?"
The stall owner was a little silenced and said angrily: "I said, you girl, why are you asking so many questions? Do you buy grenades?"
"I have to compare shopping for things. I'll go to other places first... I'll come here later." Su Ziyan said calmly, winked Su Ziling and the others, and then a few people walked to another place.
Next, I visited the large-scale grain and oil trading area. It was said to be a large-scale one, but in fact it was only a few sacks and a few oil barrels, which was far from the real "large", but looking at the Haizhou base, it was indeed a large-scale one.
The food was very attractive, and the oil was necessary, but the price was also a bit expensive. The last few people came to the trading area of the crystal core to see if they could exchange some currency here.
As soon as I entered the crystal core trading area, I suddenly found that there were even fewer people here, probably only a few dozen people, more than half of them were stall owners.
"Look at there is a counter there, let's go and take a look." Everyone looked in the direction of Su Ziyan's finger and found that there was an open counter not far from the entrance of the trading area.
When I got closer, I found that there was a glass cabinet on the counter, and there were crystal nuclei of various types in turn, and the prices corresponding to the crystal nuclei of various specifications were marked.
As small as rice grains and as big as broad beans, the quality is gray-white ginseng and clear as water jade. Of course, the more advanced ones are no longer displayed in real objects, but are replaced by photos.
"Wow, look, these crystal cores are so valuable!" Su Ziling suddenly pointed to the crystal core in the cabinet and covered his mouth and whispered.
Su Ziyan was secretly surprised when she saw it. The worst quality here was the gray-white crystal core the size of sesame grains, but the price was also one yuan.
As for the size of soybeans and the quality is slightly better, the crystal core as crystal clear but opaque as mica is priced at ten yuan, while the translucent core ranges from fifty yuan to one hundred and fifty yuan. Even the crystal core that has reached a certain quality is priced at ten yuan, and the price is priced at ten thousand yuan or even higher.
It's just like the jewelry before the end of the world! Su Ziyan was secretly surprised.
She understood that after ordinary pale zombies are killed, the crystal nuclei in their bodies will shrink to the size of sesame seeds. This type of crystal nuclei is basically not very useful and can only restore a certain amount of physical strength to the evolutionist. The crystal nuclei in the gray zombies will appear many crystal nuclei of different grades depending on the individual conditions.
When she was in Houshan Forest Farm, Su Ziyan collected a large number of crystal nuclei the size of sesame grains. In addition, there were eighty crystal nuclei of grade (translucent), ten of which reached the level of clarity, and even one reached the level of complete clarity. When she was imprisoned by Hu Hongwei, she consumed five crystal nuclei with clarity in succession. Now she still has seventy crystal nuclei of average or slightly inferior quality, four crystal nuclei with clarity of good quality and one crystal nuclei with full clarity.
If converted according to the "market price", even if the crystal cores as small as sesame seeds are not included, it is equivalent to having wealth of "more than 10,000 yuan".
This was a big income in the Haizhou base. Her eyes suddenly became hot. It turned out that killing zombies could make so much money! More importantly, for her, who had a huge increase in supernatural powers, it seemed that she didn't take much effort.
