In the endless wasteland, one or two roars of beasts could be heard from time to time, making the people who were marching a little nervous.
"These damn beasts!" someone cursed.
Ten years ago, they still lived a peaceful life. Although they worked day and night for a living, after a hard day's work, they could at least sit down and drink some beer and eat something good.
Now, even staying alive is a luxury. You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
"Don't worry, it will be daybreak soon." Chen Guodong said with a smile, "When we get to Songjiabao, we can exchange for food and salt, and some money so that everyone can buy some things."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces immediately showed joy.
The people who were originally from Gujiazhai looked at each other. Could it be that they also had a part in it
"Old Chen..."
Gu Jianghai hesitated to speak.
Chen Guodong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more. He had mentioned it to Chen Fan last night, and the latter had no objection. Then his old brothers would have no objection either.
This benefit is what the members of their hunting team deserve.
Chen Fan was walking behind, and after hearing this, he asked Gu Ze curiously, "Isn't it true that at Songjiabao, you can only use gold and silver, or barter? Can you also use money?"
Gu Ze was stunned for a moment, then he said in surprise: "You haven't been to Songjiabao, have you? If you want to trade there, you can use gold and silver to buy and barter, and you can also use currency. However, the currency before the mutation cannot be used.
The current currency uses yuan as the unit, with denominations of one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, one hundred yuan, one thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan, and the highest is ten thousand yuan. "
Chen Fan was stunned.
This, this sounds familiar
But it is indeed a new currency unit. The previous unit was Sol.
"In order to express gratitude for the contributions of the awakened ones over the past ten years, different denominations of currency have portraits of different awakened ones printed on the back. For example, the largest denomination of 10,000 yuan has the portrait of the Thunder Emperor on the back, 1,000 yuan has the portrait of the War Emperor on the back, and so on.
If someone makes a greater contribution than the Thunder King, perhaps there will be a banknote worth 100,000 yuan with his portrait printed on the back. "
“I see.”
Chen Fan nodded. It was indeed a good design. He then asked, "What is the purchasing power of one yuan?"
"You can buy one pound of the most common rice."
Gu Ze stretched out a finger.
Chen Fan nodded. The most common beast meat cost three yuan per pound.
"How much money can you buy for one gram of gold?"
“How can there be so many?”
Gu Ze shook his head. "Generally, a gold ring can only be exchanged for a few kilograms of rice. A gold bracelet or a gold necklace can be exchanged for more than 10 to 20 kilograms. After all, these things cannot be eaten. If you are really at your wit's end, you can only take them out to exchange."
"so."
Chen Fan thought it was really cheap, but it was indeed useless.
Just like in the desert, a bottle of water can be sold at a sky-high price, it all depends on supply and demand.
"By the way, when you have money later, what do you want to buy?" Gu Ze asked curiously.
"We'll see what good stuff there is when the time comes." Chen Fan shrugged.
Gu Ze said "oh".
After walking for about half an hour, everyone quieted down and just kept moving forward.
Another hour passed.
"Everyone, work harder. We'll be there in an hour or so."
Chen Guodong turned around and cheered everyone on.
But at this moment, a noise came from behind.
Chen Fan subconsciously turned his head to look and was stunned.
A car.
A large truck is driving towards this side. It is not fast, but not slow either. It will probably catch up in a minute or two.
"They are from Zhaojiabao."
Liu Yong recognized it at a glance.
"Those guys are really rich. They drive every time they go to Songjiabao."
"Yes, just going back and forth would require quite a bit of gasoline. It would take several kilograms of rice to exchange for one liter of gasoline."
Gao Yang's tone was full of envy and jealousy.
The round trip was thirty miles, which took them half a day to walk and made them extremely tired. They also had to worry about encountering ferocious beasts, although the possibility of that happening was small.
But the people from Zhaojiabao arrived in just over ten minutes, and went back in just over ten minutes after changing their things.
"Let them pass first."
Chen Guodong said.
Although the people of Zhaojiabao usually looked down on me and others at most and never showed any hostility.
But we must be on guard against others. What if they see so many prey and have bad intentions? If that happens, we can be prepared.
Everyone put down their prey and stood aside, watching the big truck slowly approaching.
There were about twenty people in the back of the car, all looking here, with more or less surprise on their faces.
"Which village are they from? How could they bring so many preys?"
"I can't tell because they are covered with masks, but they look like they are from Lijiazhai? Or Chenjiazhai?"
"There aren't so many people in Chenjiazhai, right? They look like they are from Lijiazhai."
"These guys are really lucky, right?"
The people in the car started talking.
In the corner, Wei Tiangong and his companions looked at each other.
At first they also thought they were from Lijiazhai, but the more they looked, the more they felt that these people looked inexplicably familiar, especially the eyes of the man in the front.
It’s Chen Guodong!
In other words, this is someone from Chenjiazhai
Did they bring along a few young men from the village? Yes, with Wang Ping and Zhao Feng, the number of people was really good.
The Wei Tianyuan brothers heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. It seemed that after they left, life in the village was still okay. They even accumulated so many prey to exchange for things. Maybe they dressed like this because they were afraid of being recognized
Good.
However, their days in Zhaojiabao were far from as good as they had imagined.
But at this moment, a voice that made their souls fly away rang out.
"Should we rob them? Most of the prey from the Lijiazhai gang is from other villages. It won't be a big deal if we rob them."
"Yeah, there are only thirteen or fourteen of them, and we have more than twenty. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Third brother, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the front row with a gloomy face and a pair of narrow eyes.
Zhao San raised his lips slightly and said, "It's not impossible."
"No, it's not very good."
Just as Zhao San finished speaking, a hurried voice sounded.
More than ten people looked over immediately.
Wei Tianyuan lowered his head and stammered, "What if they are not from Lijiazhai? Didn't they rob the wrong people?"
"Yes, yes, maybe it's someone from another village?"
The rest of the people just laughed it off.
The man who had instigated the protest earlier frowned upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Even if they are not from Lijiazhai, so what? If they dare to resist, we will kill them all here."
"Yes, who cares where they are from?"
"Let's rob it first, right, Brother Zhao San?"
The others looked at Zhao San and rubbed their hands ready to go.
Normally, they don’t steal prey from other villages, not because they are kind-hearted, but because they look down on them.
The current situation is different, which is enough to make them interested. It is just a matter of convenience anyway, so why not do it
Wei Tiangong and his companions' hearts suddenly rose to their throats. What should they do
If at that time, Zhao San comes into conflict with Guodong and the others, among the few of us, who should we help
