Radiation Secret

Updated: 2012-08-21

A day later, Zhou Qingfeng arrived near the destination.

Carefully hiding the antenna of the Gobi No. [-] navigation station on a dead tree, Zhou Qingfeng jumped down from the tree lightly. There was a small hole under the tree, and some food and water were piled inside. The stuff has been moved almost, and the leftovers can be eaten for more than ten days, enough for him to return to Gobi No. [-].

Now he has walked out of the Gobi and entered the Cascade Ridge in the northwest of the United States. The surrounding environment has turned into valleys and hills, and green plants can be seen everywhere. A winding path passes by, with very dense bushes on both sides of the road forest.

Zhou Qingfeng dug a hole on the road with an engineering shovel. After careful observation, he concluded that the road should be completely built by hand. There was no trace of mechanical construction. The materials were all taken from the gravel on the Gobi. When it comes to materials such as reinforced concrete, the construction technology is also relatively extensive, which shows that the power to build this road may not be strong. [

This is a good thing.

Following this road and following the directions on the map, he had already discovered Ed Town in a valley at noon.

The town is not big, backed by a small hill, only about two to three thousand meters deep, with four to five hundred houses, and a population of at least a thousand. The entire town is surrounded by walls and guard towers.

The town seems to rely on animal husbandry for its livelihood. There are several pastures near the town. Here, Zhou Qingfeng saw a species unique to the wasteland world - the two-headed cow!

The two-headed bull in the binoculars is nothing to look at, just two heads.If they can be transported to the main plane, maybe they can be sold for a good price at the zoo.

The life of the people in the town is not bad, and the residents often greet each other, and the relationship is quite harmonious.There are still quite a lot of people entering and leaving the town, with different means of transportation, most of them are on foot, riding in oxen and horse-drawn carts, but you can also see people entering and leaving in vehicles similar to small four-wheeled agricultural vehicles.Larger vehicles have not yet been found.

These people have a great characteristic, that is, they act in groups, each group has at least ten people, and there is no single man like Zhou Qingfeng.

There is a market in the town, which makes him feel a little more secure about entering the town. A place with commercial activities will not be very exclusive.

Zhou Qingfeng finally decided to retreat to a place more than ten kilometers away from Ed Town, set up a temporary camp, and go closer to investigate after dark.

The flames of the kerosene blowtorch were burning high, and the rice noodles were being cooked in the lunch box. Zhou Qingfeng tore open a bag of dehydrated vegetables and poured them in. Adding some lard and salt, there was a lingering aroma that whetted the appetite.In the first few days, in order to be lazy, he ate canned food and biscuits. Now he is willing to touch other than canned fruit, and he throws canned meat and the like into the storage of the navigation station.

After eating and setting up the tent, it was already dark. Zhou Qingfeng put on a protective vest, hung a jungle crossbow on his legs, and brought night vision goggles. The storage space was filled with supplies and various tools. Get off, get on the motorcycle, and set off.

A few kilometers away from Ed Town, Zhou Qingfeng stopped the motorcycle. The noise was too loud, so he had to hide in the woods by the roadside and walk forward with his equipment.

The night vision device can only provide a maximum observation distance of 300 meters, and the scene seen is clearly green. When we arrived outside the town, the gate of the town was closed, and the people on the sentry tower walked back and forth, looking very alert.

It seems that there are still many dangers in this world, and people's vigilance is quite high.Just when Zhou Qingfeng was thinking about whether to go back and come back after dawn, a group of figures suddenly appeared in the night vision device.

About a dozen people were driving a bullock cart, and some seemed to be carrying guns.They came to the gate of the town and shouted: "We are from Case Firm. Is Mr. Billy there? We have delivered what he asked for."

The people on the sentry tower held oil lamps and took pictures from above, "Let your people go away, don't play tricks, there are at least six guns pointed at you."

"Don't be nervous, we're not gangsters. Are you Hagrid? I'm Sean from Keith Firm. We came a bit late, but I delivered what Mr. Billy asked for. It's a good thing. You must like."

"Stop talking nonsense. Ed Town has a curfew at night and no entry or exit is allowed. You guys are all camping in the south. I'll let you know when it's dawn. I'll report to Mr. Billy."

"Okay, okay, I said you guys are too nervous."[

The people from Case Firm left resentfully. Zhou Qingfeng hid in the grass by the roadside and watched them head to the campsite in the south of the town.

"These cattle-raising natives are quite vigilant."

"Turk? The native in your mouth is richer than you."

"It would be great if we could rob them once. Head, do you think we can rob them once? It's been a long time since I heard that Ed Town was attacked. They should be very, very rich."

Sean, who was in charge, mocked his subordinate very unceremoniously: "If you want to die, you can go by yourself. I can just save your salary for this month, and I can take care of your wife. I remember her tits. Very big, I will sell your child to Halle, I believe he can give a good price."

A group of people laughed out loud.Only the guy who was being ridiculed lowered his head and touched his nose.

Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the bushes slowly, looked at the heavily guarded Ed Town, and then followed the people from Case Firm.

There is an open space in the south of Ed Town, which seems to be specially used for camping. The people from Case Trading Company skillfully unloaded the tent from the bullock cart, lit the bonfire, and cooked the food. During the process, there were always two people in charge of guarding.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't have any special thoughts when he came over, he just observed for the sake of observation.Look at the food and clothing, equipment, behavior habits, and organizational discipline of this group of people.

These people in front of them should be ordinary individuals in the radiation time and space. Their basic necessities are very ordinary. The twelve people only saw two long guns. Maybe they have short guns in their heads and hands.

The organization and discipline are good, and the orders of the leader can be effectively implemented, making people feel like an army.

Considering the conversation they heard just now, this is obviously a team that is both businessmen and bandits.

This happens only when the social environment is relatively chaotic.

Although he had been mentally prepared, after analyzing the result, Zhou Qingfeng was still very disappointed. He came here to get rich, not to fight.

But now it seems that without a certain amount of force, it is difficult to obtain benefits in this world, and it is even difficult to survive.And Zhou Qingfeng just lacked force.

The next day, Zhou Qingfeng came to Ed Town early in the morning. He carried a medium-sized rucksack for pretense. Inside were all kinds of goods he was going to sell. The jungle crossbow was folded and put into the storage space. The m9 dagger was pinned to his calf, and he was wearing a very loose piece of clothing, which covered the vest.

The guard at the gate didn't make things difficult for him. Although he looked weird, the most indispensable thing in the wasteland world is weirdness. The guard just asked him where he came from and what he was doing in Ed Town, and then warned him According to the rules for outsiders in Edtown, let him in.

From the mouth of the guard, I learned that Ed Town is divided into two parts, inside and outside. The inside is the core area, mainly the residences of the aborigines in the town, the two-headed cow processing factory, and a small military camp; the outside is the market, hotel, and bar. Category.Migrants like Zhou Qingfeng can only move around outside the town.

Zhou Qingfeng went to the bazaar first, and the merchants in the bazaar were all rustic-dressed foreigners setting up street stalls on the ground, and the higher-end ones didn't have too many shelves.It made him feel quite funny.

The goods on the market were very messy and bustling. There were about three or four hundred people. Most of them bought food and production tools, such as dried meat and grains, or some simple tools and daily necessities.

Zhou Qingfeng saw a white man buying a pulley flint lighter, so he went up to ask the price.

"how much is this?"[

"Fifty caps."

"Oh." This answer already contained a lot of information. Zhou Qingfeng had listened to other people's bargaining in the market for a long time, and he knew the prices of general commodities.A pound of beef jerky costs about fifteen caps, a pound of wheat costs five caps, and a five-liter barrel of beer costs 120 caps.

"Do you buy lighters?"

The Caucasian man was stunned for a moment, and smiled with his yellow teeth showing, "Then you have to let me see the goods first."

Zhou Qingfeng handed him a windproof lighter that he carried on his body. He had a lot of this thing with him, and it was just for testing the market.

After the Caucasian man used it, he found that the lighter was very good, the pulley was smooth, the ignition was easy, and the flame burned very stably, which was much better than his homemade lighter.

"Not bad." The white man took out a black cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, "Very good."

Zhou Qingfeng shifted his gaze to the white man's cigarettes, "Where did you buy the cigarettes?"

"I made this myself, why? Do you want one?" The white man looked very enthusiastic.

"No need. I want to ask, how to sell this cigarette?" If possible, selling cigarettes should be a good business.

"It's just the tobacco I grow and roll myself. If you want to buy it, you can go to Kentman. He has a weapons store on the west corner. You can go and see it."

arms!Zhou Qingfeng followed the Caucasian man's fingers and secretly noted down the location of the store, "Let's talk about lighters, do you intend to buy them?"

"How much are you willing to sell?"

"How about two hundred bottle caps?" To be honest, Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what price to ask?He's not at all business material.Selling lighters is just trying to test the market.

The white man hesitated for a long time, finally nodded, took out a large leather bag, and counted [-] bottle caps to Zhou Qingfeng.

tm!

This made Zhou Qingfeng, who was not mentally prepared, a little flustered, and he didn't even plan to use anything to hold the money.

Yes, money!

For people who are accustomed to using paper money, it feels absurd to suddenly receive two hundred bottle caps as currency.

In the end, these bottle caps were randomly stuffed into Zhou Qingfeng's backpack.
