Li Yuanhong has not been idle since he established a trading relationship with Gao Zhiyuan. In order to secretly expand his influence, he quietly asked Chu Yanfei to spread rumors in the gathering place and promote his gathering place as a military background, thereby increasing his influence on the survivors. the attractiveness of the person. But Li Yuanhong didn't expect that his move would make Zhao Zhizhong start to panic. When people panic, they tend to do many stupid things.
On this day, Li Yuanhong and Gao Zhiyuan completed the transaction. During this period, Li Yuanhong had traded nearly a hundred people from Gao Zhiyuan. Most of them were people who were dying of cold and starvation. Fortunately, Li Yuanhong had Dr. Han. Since the last time After treating Liu Hu, Dr. Han developed a treatment medicine that can increase a person's health as long as the person is alive. It has the effect of a red potion in a game, but it is real, and making these things, There is also a cost. Li Yuanhong is generally reluctant to use it unless it is a last resort, but he will never be stingy when it comes to saving people's lives.
After the transaction was over, Li Yuanhong said to Gao Zhiyuan: "Brother Gao, why are there so many cold and hungry people in your camp? Is there no food in your camp?"
"Brother Li doesn't know. There is food, but most of it is concentrated in the hands of various forces. This food is the foundation of these forces. How can they give it to people casually? When the army was there, free food was distributed. Although there is free porridge now, the porridge is not much different from water, alas!" Gao Zhiyuan also looked helpless in this regard.
"I see, then Brother Gao, how do you sell these evolutionary fluids? Everyone can't have enough to eat, and there are still people buying these things?" Li Yuanhong asked curiously.
"To be honest with Brother Li, these evolutionary fluids are sold through the underground black market. In this base, only those powerful people have the materials and the ability to consume these things. Moreover, it is safer to trade through the underground black market." Gao Zhiyuan Didn't hide it either.
"Oh? How can it be safe to trade in the underground black market?" Li Yuanhong became even more curious.
"This underground black market was established by various underground forces and has a common guarantee. All transaction items are traded in an auction format without having to show up personally. Therefore, people who buy things have no idea who brought them. And during the auction, Everyone will have a number, and the auction will only show the buyer's number, so no one knows who bought it, so both buyers and sellers are safe," Gao Zhiyuan continued.
"That's it. Brother Gao, can you take me to visit this auction? I'll also go and see what good things there are in this auction!" Li Yuanhong said with great interest.
Gao Zhiyuan thought for a while and then said: "Okay, I will take you to visit later, but you can't bring too many people. It will be difficult to explain if there are too many people." Gao Zhiyuan said.
"No problem, I'll take one person with me." Li Yuanhong nodded.
"Okay, there happens to be a transaction tomorrow, so let's meet outside the camp at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will take you in then." Gao Zhiyuan said.
"Okay. By the way, how is the transaction settled?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"Oh, I almost forgot, the transaction is settled in grain or gold, but the value of grain is greater. A meal of grain can be equivalent to ten kilograms of gold." Gao Zhiyuan said.
"Okay, I've written it down." Li Yuanhong said.
Early the next morning, Li Yuanhong took Wang Jingrong to the agreed place. Soon Gao Zhiyuan also came. The two exchanged a few words and then took Li Yuanhong to the entrance of the base.
The entire base is located in a canyon. At the entrance of the canyon, there is a wall. The height of the wall is only four meters high, and the wall is only more than one meter thick. There are fortifications made of sandbags in front of the gate. Seeing such fortifications, Li Yuanhong I was speechless for a while, this was simply a model of laziness. This may be able to withstand the attack of ordinary zombies, but when faced with mutant zombies, it is the fate of being broken through in minutes.
Gao Zhiyuan saw that Li Yuanhong had a strange look on his face, so he asked: "Brother Li, why are you not confident in the defense here?"
Li Yuanhong did not answer directly, but asked: "Brother Gao, have you ever been besieged by zombies here?"
"There was a siege. When we first came here, hundreds of zombies attacked here. Fortunately, there is this wall, so there was no damage." Gao Zhiyuan said with a smile on his face.
"No wonder, it seems you have never seen mutant zombies." Li Yuanhong muttered and said nothing more. After all, he was here to visit, and talking too much would not have any effect.
Just when Gao Zhiyuan was about to ask something, a head popped out of a watchtower in front of the door. He was a young man wearing a police uniform. When he saw it was Gao Zhiyuan, he hurried out and greeted him warmly: "Yeah , isn’t this Brother Gao! Why did you come back just after you went out?”
Gao Zhiyuan said: "I am picking up two brothers. This is a box of cigarettes. These two brothers searched for it. Let's try it together!" After that, Gao Zhiyuan threw a box of cigarettes to the other party.
"Thank you, Brother Gao, for spending money again." The young man took the cigarette, thanked him quickly, and opened the crossbar at the door. From the beginning to the end, the gatekeeper did not check Li Yuanhong and the others at all, and even He didn't even look at Li Yuanhong and the others.
Gao Zhiyuan took Li Yuanhong into the gathering place. Entering the gathering place, I saw privately built buildings everywhere. Some were wooden houses, some were built with stones, but most of them were mud houses. This kind of house was very common in the Northeast in the past, but The disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the lighting in the house is not good. If there is no fire in the house, the house will be very cold, and if it rains heavily, it is easy to leak. These buildings have no rules at all, they are all one block on the other, and the roads between the houses are full of garbage, and no one cleans them. The only thing that is better is that the main road is relatively clean and smooth.
Gao Zhiyuan took Li Yuanhong deeper and walked more than 500 meters, but saw no one on the road. So Li Yuanhong asked: "It's so bright, why is no one out for activities?"
"It's so cold, and this is a civilian area. In order to save energy, these people don't go out for anything." Gao Zhiyuan introduced.
"Then they don't go out and work?" Li Yuanhong looked at the lifeless area. He felt like he had entered a cemetery rather than a gathering place.
"What do they do if there is no job? The jobs here are posted by various forces. This kind of job is hard to come by. Like the last time I went to search for supplies, the people I recruited temporarily were recruited from here." Gao Zhi Yuan explained.
Li Yuanhong looked at this situation and knew that if zombies attacked this camp, it would basically be destroyed. As Gao Zhiyuan walked forward, the houses were finally no longer in a mess. The whole style had changed. There were regular houses, large courtyards, clean and tidy streets, and the houses were also made of bricks. It was obvious that these houses existed before the end of the world. of.
When I got here, I finally saw people going out. These people had red faces and were wearing very warm clothes. Moreover, these people were all wearing weapons, including cold weapons and swords, as well as hot weapons and guns. Moreover, Li Yuanhong clearly had people standing guard at the entrances of some courtyards. Obviously, the people living in these courtyards must have a certain status. Li Yuanhong thought that the auction house should be here, but Gao Zhiyuan continued to lead Li Yuanhong forward through the entire village.
After leaving the village, there is another civilian area. Like the previous civilian area, it is dirty and messy. Li Yuanhong was speechless about the management ability of the camp manager. Such good human resources were wasted by him. Gao Zhiyuan continued to take Li Yuanhong out of the civilian area and continued to walk into the canyon until he walked more than five kilometers and came to the foot of a mountain. There were steep rocks everywhere and no buildings at all. He continued to move forward. There was no road. Just when Li Yuanhong was confused, Gao Zhiyuan walked to a stone wall and pressed somewhere on the stone wall. Then the stone wall opened and a hole appeared in front of Li Yuanhong.
Gao Zhiyuan saw Li Yuanhong in a daze, so he laughed: "Brother Li is laughing, this is the secret base of a big boss in the past. It's the end of the world. I didn't expect the base to be built here, so the big boss donated this place as an auction Land." Gao Zhiyuan explained.
"This boss is too generous!" Li Yuanhong didn't believe that this boss could be so generous.
"Haha, of course he didn't give it in vain. He would take a commission from every auction. To put it bluntly, it was just a venue fee. In short, he didn't lose anything." Gao Zhiyuan said.
"I'm just telling you!" Li Yuanhong was not surprised at all. The only thing he didn't expect was that it was so hidden here. If no one leads the way, it would be impossible to find it.
"Okay, Brother Li, let's go in!" After saying that, Gao Zhiyuan took the lead into the cave.
