The new era strikes

Chapter 254 Picking Wild Vegetables

"Well, yes, it's rare to see a gathering place like yours."

"Everyone has some kinship, so how can you be willing to give up? It's a little bit hard, but it's also very happy to have the closest people by your side."

Zhang Qiang understood what Lu Tian meant, and looked gently at the old women making weapons or washing clothes.

"Brother Zhang, hurry up and make arrangements, it's not early yet?"

Lu Tian opened his mouth to remind, otherwise he would forget the time.

"Okay, I'll hand over the task right away, I hope you can wait."

After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he entered the room, and his voice could be heard faintly.

Lu Tian didn't touch the tea, but looked at the old radio on the table, the people here rely on this to receive news from outside.

The large bases in the central and various places will broadcast some information when the signal is not affected much at night, such as the way of survival, the value of various materials, the situation of various places, the situation of zombies and beasts, which has become the status of human beings today. The only mass communication tool.

Two minutes later, Zhang Qiang and the two guys who were just guarding the goal came over, "Brother, let us go with you!"

"Okay, let's go!"

It's dangerous outside, if you don't go together, you may die at any time, Zhang Qiang thought that when he came back later, Lu Tian might not follow, he had to call two more people.

"Fifth, keep the house safe. I'll be right back after I help this brother."

Zhang Qiang and another rather strong man yelled, and after getting an answer, they followed Lu Tian out with their spears.

And the black-skinned and the other young guy were still holding the shield machete just now, presumably this was their usual tool.

"Brother, don't you know how to call him?"

"My surname is Wang, just call me Mr. Wang."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

When he reached tens of meters, Lu Tian stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I have a companion coming over."

Zhang Qiang was on guard again at this time. He had no choice. Once he left the gathering place, he couldn't be careful. No one knew when zombies or wild beasts would jump out.

"he came!"

Lu Tian reminded, a bald head came from a distance, with a height of nearly two meters, a strong body, and a powerful walk, with a pair of sunglasses and tattered blood-stained clothes, Zhang Qiang and the others subconsciously took a step back and were caught Its momentum was startling.

"Mr. Wang should be an extraordinary person, right?"

"That's right, when did you know about Transcendents?"

"I learned about it from the radio half a month ago. I heard that level 2 superhumans are very powerful, and we also know the situation of many wild beasts. For example, the gray wolf that Mr. Wang killed is a level 3 strange beast. It’s as ferocious as the tigers of the past.”

Zhang Qiang said enviously, seeing the intersection ahead, he changed direction in time and walked to the place in his memory.

The dark skin intervened and said, "Has Mr. Wang been to the base?"

"I've been there, what's the matter?"

He showed yearning, "I heard that the base is safe and warm, and you don't have to worry about food and drink, is it true?"

"Who told you that?"

"That's what the guy from the other gathering place said."

"That's lying to you. There are too many people in the base and little food. Many people can't eat enough. As for safety, many people have to go out to hunt zombies or collect supplies in exchange for food. Many people died, and the base was closed the day before yesterday. After being attacked by hundreds of thousands of zombies, the city was almost wiped out."

"what!"

The black skin said angrily: "Damn it, that guy is really bragging."

What did Zhang Qiang think of at this time, "Mr. Wang, I heard that zombie crystal cores are very useful, is it true?"

Lu Tian's heart moved. If he hadn't gone to the ruins, he might have exchanged crystal nuclei with them, but now he is not very interested. It is estimated that they only have a few hundred pieces, but if they can be exchanged, they will naturally exchange them.

"It is useful and can be exchanged for a lot of things. It is the same as gold in the past. It is a hard currency. I don't know how many you have. I can exchange it with prey."

Zhang Qiang was very excited when he heard the news. He heard all the valuable things about the crystal nucleus from the radio, and no one has yet confirmed it.

"Really? Fortunately, everyone consciously kept the crystal nuclei. There are probably more than 200 crystal nuclei now. Many of these crystal nuclei are returned in exchange for human lives. They can be exchanged with you."

"It's true. It's still in the early stages. It will definitely be paid more and more attention in the future. Unfortunately, most of the bases are currently surrounded by zombies. Few people can come out to collect crystal nuclei, so no one from you has come here."

Lu Tian didn't hide anything, and told them some things.

However, he also got a lot of news from the conversation just now, that is, the value contained in the small gathering places outside these bases. Most of these places will collect some crystal nuclei, and the base is temporarily unable to collect them. Nice way to gather energy.

Even if a gathering place only collects hundreds of crystal nuclei in a month, there are quite a few gathering places outside, and the accumulation of less becomes more, and the accumulation of soil becomes mountains. Large-scale acquisitions must be very promising.

It seems that the previous policy is about to change. Now most of the transcendent forces are focusing on the various bases. Who would pay attention to such a small gathering place with only dozens to hundreds of people.

"How far is it?"

Lu Tian looked at the desolate places around him, and asked.

"We'll be there in about 10 minutes, but there are a lot of scattered zombies and beasts over there. Be careful, Mr. Wang."

"Don't worry, with the two of us here, there will be no danger."

In order to let a few people do things for him wholeheartedly, Lu Tian must of course make some promises.

"We need a lot of vegetables, and I will ask the three of you to help pick them later. I will give each person ten catties of meat as compensation."

"Even if you don't tell me, Mr. Wang, we will pick it for you."

Zhang Qiang's simple and honest face became even happier, he did not expect this gentleman to be so generous.

"Later, you find a few pockets to hold wild vegetables."

"no problem."

Zhang Qiang agreed without hesitation, and his steps became more and more brisk.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Qiang pointed to a gentle slope full of plants in front, "Mr. Wang, this is the place. When we have no food, we often come here to look for wild vegetables to eat."

"Is it that light blue plant?"

"Yes, it's this kind of wild vegetable. It's not poisonous. It tastes like spinach, but it tastes a bit bitter."

Lu Tian let out his mental energy and took a look. There are many wild vegetables of this kind growing on the entire hillside. The wild vegetables are very lush, some are half a foot high, and the green leaves are light blue and shiny. The leaves are wide and some Like rapeseed, it should be a mutated plant.

"Then trouble you, we are here to warn you to avoid danger."

"Well, is Mr. Wang going to fill all five pockets?"

"No, just put it in four pockets. Didn't you say there is another kind of wild vegetable nearby?"

Lu Tian' estimated that although there are many wild vegetables in front of him, it is not easy for him to pick them all, and many of them are still young teeth, so four bags would be good.

Zhang Qiang and the three of them agreed, and ran to pick the vegetables. They were very skillful, and it seemed wise to bring them along.

Lu Tian was not idle either. When he scanned his surroundings mentally just now, he saw a few zombies and had to deal with them.

But he didn't go, but asked Qingjia to clean them up, and he also walked to a place.

In addition to the zombies, it also found several litters of hares, all of which were fat and abnormal, how could they miss it.

Half an hour later, there were four big bags of wild vegetables piled up in front of Lu Tian, ​​and Zhang Qiang and the others were also smiling so much that they were carrying six fat hares, each of which weighed more than ten catties, and there was even a piece of meat in Lu Tian's space ring. With more than 20 fatter hares, except for some small rabbits, he almost took over all the rabbit nests on this hillside.

"Can these be exchanged for your crystal nucleus?"

"No problem, enough."

How could Zhang Qiang be dissatisfied? They also knew the value of their crystal nuclei, and it was not bad to be able to exchange for so much meat.

"Okay, let's go back to your gathering point after picking another wild vegetable."

Lu Tian asked Qing Jia to come over and bring up four bags of wild vegetables, and they walked to a nearby wild area.

……

"Brother, this bald man is also very powerful. These four bags of wild vegetables must weigh at least two hundred catties. He looks like a normal person."

The dark-skinned young man was picking a kind of purple wild vegetable with his head down, but his mouth was talking to Zhang Qiang.

"Quick pick vegetables, is this kind of strong person you can talk about at will?"

Zhang Qiang's expression was serious, and he scolded.

After more than ten minutes, several people picked two more bags of wild vegetables, because the taste of this kind of wild vegetables was not very good, so Lu Tian didn't let them pick too much.

With nothing to do, Lu Tian hunted more than a dozen wild rabbits nearby, leaving five for Zhang Qiang and the others, and quietly put away the others.

"Mr. Wang, you are really a good person. Most of the outsiders I met came to grab things. Only you gave us more things."

"It's nothing to me, go back quickly, I have to go back too."

"Yes Yes."

But before Lu Tian and the others had gone far, they encountered another group of people, more than 20 in number, among them were two women in ragged clothes and smelling all over their bodies, and they were chained up like Being dragged away like a dog.

More than 20 people were armed with knives, guns and sticks, and most of them looked fierce. At this time, Lu Tian and the others were surrounded, and their eyes greedily looked at the things in Zhang Qiang's hands.

"Oops, ran into them, forgot to bag the hare."

Dark Skin said warily.

"You still can't run if you cover it up. There are so few of us, how could they miss it?"

Zhang Qiang said with an ugly face that he did not expect to meet these people.

Among the 20 people, a middle-aged man wearing a red fur coat and a long scar on his face came out with a big knife, his eyes rolled over Lu Tian and the others, "The weather is good today, how can we meet a few people?" Bit, it's really a fate!"

His zombie was a little dry and hoarse, as if speaking ordinary words, but the fierce light in his eyes was naked.

"He is the leader of another gathering place nearby, called Scar Tiger. The people in this gathering place are fierce people who pay attention to the weak and the strong. They usually not only hunt wild animals nearby, but also often rob groups with few people. This person is the most ruthless, I heard that he even ate human flesh."

Zhang Qiang explained to Lu Tian in a low voice, feeling a little trembling in his heart. Usually, they are not afraid when there are many people, but at this time there are only five of them, surrounded by people several times his own, and they are still such fierce people. The sky was very strong, but he was still afraid.
