Radiation Secret

Chapter 097 – Empoli Village

Updated: 2012-09-17

Zhou Qingfeng is very interested in the daily life of these wasteland natives.

After careful questioning, I found out that because the natural environment has not returned to the pre-war level after the nuclear war, human beings are under great pressure to survive, and the population that can be supported on a unit of land is very small. Human beings have to live scattered and use natural resources as much as possible. But one of the consequences of this is that there is not enough manpower in each human settlement. In order to resist natural disasters and bandit invasions, or to gather manpower to complete some labor with a relatively heavy workload, some adjacent villages will actively carry out mutual cooperation. Cooperation.

Although Empoli Village is only less than 1 kilometers away from the Gobi, it is also closer to a river. Its territory is flat and the area of ​​cultivated land is more than [-] mu. Villagers and a few agricultural machines that lack fuel are unable to grow all crops safely and quickly. Therefore, every time the plowing period and harvest period come, Empoli Village will hire a group of villagers from the surrounding villages to help, and the remuneration is quite generous. .

If Empoli Village can develop steadily on these fertile lands, a town centered on Empoli and based on agricultural production can be established in less than ten years. [

However, things always backfire. Empoli's bumper harvest is also the target of various bandits in the wilderness. You have to do everything you can to survive.

Therefore, Empoli Village spent a large part of its resources on defending its own safety, and its development was relatively slow.

While talking, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and people gave out bursts of alarm-like calls. The white woman and her companions immediately grasped their weapons. Zhou Qingfeng stood up in the car, and saw a forest running 200 meters ahead. Three mutated creatures came out.

The red skin is full of tumors, like an upright snake, and the mouthparts are full of teeth. They crawl on the ground with arches and arches, and spit out a ball of green mucus when they open their mouths.

"Oh, it's Fuyoute." The white woman was not nervous at all when she saw the monster, but was very excited.

I saw a black man rushing forward, rolling over ten meters away from the monster, avoiding a cloud of mucus, throwing the spear in his hand forward, and accurately hitting the body of one of the monsters, ushering in There was a burst of cheers from the surrounding crowd.

Then more people came out, throwing spears at the monster as if they were playing competitive sports. Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be watching a javelin throw game. Spear, fell dead.

A white man stood up, took off his shirt, twisted his body around the body of 'Float', and actually started to dance. The people around him cheered rhythmically, because he threw the spear most accurately, The head of the direct name 'Float'.

Wasteland entertainment is exciting!

During this period, Zhou Qingfeng has been using a small camera to take pictures of the entire hunting scene, even after the monster was killed, he took a lot of close-up shots.

"What's in your hand?" asked the white woman who had been curious about him.

"Nothing, just a camera."

Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng had put away the camera, the Caucasian woman was a little disappointed and said, "Oh, your camera looks weird, can you show me?"

"No."

"You are so stingy." The white woman put on a very angry look.

With a distance of more than 30 kilometers in a straight line, Zhou Qingfeng drove for two hours. During this period, the team going to Empoli Village to harvest wheat was attacked by four waves of "Floaters", which were easily resolved by these wasteland natives. Killing these mutated creatures, people will dance and cheer for a while, and everyone will clap their hands and sing around the corpse of 'Float'.

The Caucasian woman who had been following Zhou Qingfeng came together and said, "This year's 'Fuyoute' is much less, and it's not so lively. Your backpack is very new and looks good, can you let me try it? "

"No."

"You are too careful, I am a good person, we are all good people." The white woman yelled loudly, and the few companions behind her all grinned in a hurry, so obscene. [

Zhou Qingfeng ignored them, instead he was on guard.

Empoli Village has arrived. This is a small village built by the river bend. It was built like a fortress. It was built on a small soil bag and surrounded by wooden fences. Outside the village is a large wheat field with many sentry posts. In the meantime, there are many fortresses piled up with waste tires, which almost surround the village.

Empoli Village only admits people with ID to enter the village, but they don't completely reject people like Zhou Qingfeng. There is a large camp outside the village, which is similar to Ed Town, and there are guns The militia is responsible for maintaining order.

It’s just that the so-called campsite is like a big cesspit, with piles of people crowded in it, the ground is covered with straw, and all kinds of defecation can be seen everywhere. Some people are lying on a flat ground to rest, and some people are defecating next to them, and some people are sitting on the ground. On a dilapidated car frame, there was a monochord, and there were people fighting, and there were people watching the excitement.

Everyone stared at the different Zhou Qingfeng with dull eyes, and they all seemed to have malicious intentions. Zhou Qingfeng had to hold the grip of his pistol tightly and walk through the crowd carefully.

Zhou Qingfeng was more concerned about whether he could get supplies and trade here. After asking several militiamen, he was taken to a tent in a campsite, where a skinny old white woman received him.

"Hi, young man, my name is Lana, and I am the elder of Empoli Village. I heard that you hope to get some supplies?"

The light in the tent was very dark, only a small sky was opened on the top, and a ray of sunlight shone in, falling on the ground and becoming a beam of dust.

Elder Lana was sitting on a blanket surrounded by inexplicable bottles and jars. An eleven or twelve-year-old black boy squatted aside, looking at him curiously. A woman who was probably a bodyguard followed him Behind him, with two revolvers slung around his waist, he is quite stout and inseparable.

Zhou Qingfeng looked back at the woman. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a hard face. She looked like a typical western woman, and she had a fierce face. She stared at him firmly, but her breasts were big. The body is very strong.

When entering the tent, the woman searched him, took away his pistol, and groped him all over, not even missing his crotch.

"Can you keep this woman away from me? I don't like being stared at like this."

Elder Lana waved at the woman and said, "Ginnie, don't be so rude, you can stand at the door."

The woman named Jini felt a little reconciled, she moved back slowly, and the whole meeting officially started.

"I need to get some water and food, and I want to know what you can trade here? I don't have a bottle cap on me. I hope to barter. This is what I can provide." Zhou Qingfeng handed out a A list, on which were written the names of some medicines, medical equipment and other commodities, which were Zhou Qingfeng's main trading goods.The boy rushed over quickly and took the list.

Elder Lana took the list from the boy, took out a pair of reading glasses, and looked at it carefully with the light falling from the sky above the tent.

Zhou Qingfeng was waiting quietly when he felt a pain in his buttocks. When he turned his head in shock, he saw a woman named Jini sticking behind him, staring at his face again, and touching him with one hand. Constant twisting on the rear hip.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Qingfeng jumped away with an angry face.

"Ginnie, don't do that." Elder Lana raised her head and scolded, and she said to Zhou Qingfeng: "Don't worry, Ginnie is the best shooter here, she's just showing that she likes you and is interested in you, Hehehe, lad, relax."

I don't like this kind of man woman!Zhou Qingfeng's face suddenly collapsed.

Elder Lana continued, "Young man, what's your name?"

"My name is Victor Hugo." [

"Okay, Victor, I'm very interested in the drugs and devices listed on this paper. We can talk about prices."

The list mainly included anti-inflammatory drugs, burn and scald drugs, antidiarrheal drugs, syringes, sphygmomanometers and other common items. Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what the price should be.

"May I first know what you have to offer?"

"We can pay with wheat. We have very good wheat."

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, what does he want Mai Mai for?There are still big bags of flour in the material warehouse of his heavy truck!Up to now, he is still annoyed about why he bought flour in the first place. Could he still make steamed buns?

"Do you grow any cash crops here? Like coffee beans."

"Do you want coffee?" Elder Lana was a little surprised. She whispered something to the little boy beside her. can, and handed it to Zhou Qingfeng.

Opening the small can, Zhou Qingfeng took out a handful of coffee beans from it. He didn't know much about coffee, but it looked very similar to the ones he got before, and they were all ugly. There were small raised bumps on the surface of the coffee beans. Asked: "How many kinds of coffee do you have?"

"How many kinds? Only one kind! Young man, it seems that you are not from our Northwest, where are you from?"

"San Francisco." Zhou Qingfeng said nonsense again.

"Oh, don't you have coffee there? In our place, there are many coffee trees in the bushes near the Gobi. If you want, I can ask someone to help you pick them. But the coffee beans are not easy to pick. How many can there be? Not sure. For every hundred pounds of coffee beans, how about five boxes of sulfonamides or drugs of equal value?"

How can coffee trees grow in the hot and dry Gobi?Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to refer this issue to the impact of the post-war radiation, but this did not affect him nodding and agreeing to the deal.

Elder Lana was obviously very satisfied with this transaction. She couldn't wait to collect the existing coffee beans in the village, making up [-] pounds. The first thing she asked for in exchange was antipyretics.

Elder Lana took ten bottles of ibuprofen suspension, commonly known as Merrill.

When Zhou Qingfeng purchased medicines, he told the salesperson of the pharmacy that he was only stocking some commonly used medicines for the family. As a result, many of the medicines he bought did not even know what they were for.

The list he handed to Elder Lana was actually a drug use instruction written for him by someone from the pharmacy, and it took him a lot of brainpower to translate this list.
