"I... I hid a bag of potatoes, a large piece of dried rat meat, and a bottle of drink. I was reluctant to eat them. There's nothing to eat anywhere now. You … you just have to let go of my brother. I'll give you everything … "The little boy had a pained expression on his face. He lowered his head and counted on his fingers as he sobbed.
Jiang Liushi was speechless.
Although there was a lack of food after doomsday, the Shi Ying Squad was an exception.
Shi Ying Squad rarely ate rice, and almost all of their meals were mutant meat.
"Bao'er, don't say anymore! Anyway, this time we were defeated. I admit it! "
The boy, whose forehead was pointed by Jiang Liushi, calmed down after the initial panic. He raised his head and said to Jiang Liushi, "Where did you come from? I know almost all the strong survivors' teams in Pan Zhu City, but I have never seen you before. "
"Look at the direction of our car. Don't you know where we came from?" The shotgun in Zhang Hai's hand swept back and forth threateningly in front of a group of teenagers and children, and said lazily.
Being pointed at by the black hole of the shotgun, the group of robbers were all silent.
Jiang Liushi's heart moved, and he looked at Yang Tianzhao.
Yang Tianzhao seemed to know all the major forces in Pan Zhu City, so Jiang Liushi could not help but be interested.
"Where? Is it Northern Jiangsu? "Yang Tianzhao asked.
"Hey, smelly boy, you should act like you are being robbed! Why do you ask so many questions? Believe it or not, I will shoot you into a bloody hole! Brother Jiang said that he wants mutant nuclei and rare metals. Hurry up and take them out, or I will shoot you all! "Sun Kun stepped forward and pointed his shotgun at Yang Tianzhao's belly.
He hadn't shaved for many days, so both sides of his face were covered with dense whiskers. With his original sturdy body, his face looked very fierce.
"Wow, don't kill my brother!" Bao'er, who was carried by Ling, saw Sun Kun pointing his shotgun at Yang Tianzhao, and then he burst into tears.
"Uh..." Sun Kun suddenly felt a headache when he saw the little boy crying. If it were an adult, he would have already slapped him, but the crying boy in front of him was really helpless.
"I … I don't have a mutant core. If you want rare metals, we have some here in the mining area. I just don't know what kind of rare metals you want. " Yang Tianzhao was hit by the shotgun a few times, and his ribs ached. He lowered his head and looked depressed.
"You are a paranormal. How can you not have a mutant nucleus? Even if you don't have mutant nuclei, you still need to eat mutant meat, right? Where is the warehouse where you store your stuff? We'll search by ourselves, "Sun Kun said gruffly.
He did not believe the words of the youth in front of him.
Yang Tianzhao's body trembled.
"I can take you to the warehouse, but you … you can't kill anyone! If you have any malicious intentions, I'd rather die here. "He raised his head and looked at Jiang Liushi with undisguised worry.
Yang Tianzhao knew that Jiang Liushi was the leader of that team.
"We only want things, not your lives." Jiang Liushi raised his eyelids and said.
Yang Tianzhao was stunned. Eh, why does this sound so familiar?
Pan Zhu City was already in sight, but Jiang Liushi was not in a hurry.
It was a rare opportunity for Jiang Liushi to meet Yang Tianzhao's group of amateur robbers.
Pan Zhu City was a famous mining city in Hujiang Province. It not only had a large number of gold, silver, iron and other mines, but also many associated mines of rare metals.
Rare metals were not as common as copper and iron, so it was difficult to get them in general cities.
In the past, when he wanted to build a biological laboratory, he needed hundreds of pounds of rare metals such as titanium, nickel and cobalt.
In the end, Jiang Liushi spent a lot of effort to get them from the Special Metal Company.
After leaving Jinling, they only replenished a small amount of rare metals along the way.
The alloy shell and many of the MCV's equipment had been damaged, so they needed those rare metals for repair.
After leaving Wu Shui County and repairing the MCV, the rare metals obtained from Xiang Xuehai's warehouse were completely exhausted.
In the future, if the MCV was damaged, Jiang Liushi would not have any rare metals to repair it.
It was a very serious problem.
After coming to Pan Zhu City, of course, Jiang Liushi wanted to search the local area.
Zhang Hai and Sun Kun, one in front and one behind, were holding shotguns in their hands, monitoring the group of robbers, teenagers and children, walking toward one of the large mines.
Ying drove the minibus and followed them at a leisurely pace.
Yang Tianzhao was at the forefront, holding the little boy Bao 'er tightly.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Liushi observed the behavior of Zhang Hai and Jiang Liushi.
Although this group of people was ferocious, they did not seem to kill the innocent indiscriminately. They also did not use any violence against them.
Otherwise, with their strength, why would they talk about conditions with Yang Tianzhao? If they disobeyed, they could just kill them. As long as they didn't provoke them, it was unlikely that they would do anything.
Yang Tianzhao's heart was full of frustration. He only hoped that that group of people could get what they wanted and leave quickly.
With their current strength, they couldn't afford any more trouble.
Walking under the scorching sun for a while, many people were covered with a layer of sweat.
Jiang Liushi was walking beside Yang Tianzhao, but he didn't have a drop of sweat.
Yang Tianzhao was observing from the side, and he was very surprised.
In such a hot day, Jiang Liushi didn't sweat. It was simply inhuman.
He did not feel any strange energy fluctuations from Jiang Liushi, but he could feel a very strange feeling.
That feeling was due to the mutation of paranormals' cells, which gave them a beast-like fighting intuition.
How could he know that Jiang Liushi's body was different from ordinary people? Whether it was hot or cold, the body's capillary dilation, closure and other functions could regulate body temperature.
Finally, the minibus stopped under a 100-meter-high mountain.
Yang Tianzhao and the others walked halfway up the mountain and stood in front of a collapsed mine.
This mine looked no different from the other mines. It was inconspicuous among the row upon row of mines around it.
The entrance of the mine was also blocked by a few huge rocks that had collapsed.
Only through a few gaps exposed between the large rocks, they could feel the depth and darkness inside the mine.
"Brother!"
Bao 'er looked up at Yang Tianzhao with tears in her eyes, and her small eyes were full of worry.
Yang Tianzhao sighed to himself.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Yang Tianzhao was also helpless. Now they were like fish on the chopping board, and they could only listen to outsiders.
He pulled out a small hollowed out stone from behind his buttocks.
"Woo woo woo."
Yang Tianzhao aimed at the small hole and blew, and a melodious sound came from inside.
At that time, the originally closed mine entrance, the rocks blocking the entrance completely fell to the ground.
Finally, a hole that could be passed by two people was exposed.
Jiang Liushi was a little surprised.
Following Yang Tianzhao into the cave, Jiang Liushi looked down at the entrance of the cave and saw an iron beam, a twisted rope and a metal lifting device below.
Obviously, it was a small shaft.
Entering the cave, their field of vision suddenly narrowed.
The height and width of the mine in front of them were about two meters, and the air was turbid.
A railroad track could not be seen, and it kept tilting to the unknown depths of the mine.
Four mining cars were quietly parked on the track.
"Be careful, there are many people in the depths of the mine. Their positions are very deep, and my mental power can't cover that far." Ran Xiyu's voice suddenly sounded in the minds of every member of Shi Ying Squad.
Ran Xiyu, Ying, and Li Yuxin were all staying in the MCV, and their mental fluctuations had been detecting the situation around Jiang Liushi.
The mine was very deep, with a length of several kilometers. The soil layer of the mine, which was soaked with water, could greatly weaken her mental power's detection.
Especially in the depths of the mine, it was dug full of holes, extending dense cobweb-like channels.
She couldn't detect many places.
After receiving Ran Xiyu's warning, Shi Ying Squad's members became alert.
This mine was the home field of that group of teenagers. Even if they were all powerful paranormals, they didn't dare to be careless.
"Don't play any tricks." The dagger in Ling's hand suddenly slashed at Yang Tianzhao. She swung it a few times, almost brushing past Yang Tianzhao's ear. A layer of fine hair was shaved off, but Yang Tianzhao was not hurt.
Yang Tianzhao stood in the same place, and he didn't dare to move. What a terrible and accurate knife!
"Don't worry, as long as you remember what you said, we won't do anything else. After all, I'm the only paranormal here, "Yang Tianzhao said to Jiang Liushi with a bitter face.
Jiang Liushi nodded.
The first mining car was carrying Jiang Liushi, Ling, Yang Tianzhao, Bao'er, and others, while the last one was carrying Sun Kun and Zhang Hai, who were holding shotguns.
'Bang! '
The mining car rushed along the track toward the depths of the mine.
The mine was very long, and there was no light along the way.
About a minute later, the mining car stopped heavily. It had reached the end of the track.
At this point, there were actually a few lamps flickering on the mine path.
"Electricity!"
Seeing the lights in front of him, Jiang Liushi was very surprised.
The other members of Shi Ying Squad were also very surprised.
In the past, of course, things like electric lights were very common.
However, after doomsday, many of the past civilizations of human beings were destroyed in the catastrophe.
Electricity was a very complex crystallization of human civilization, and it could only be seen in some Safety Islands and Base City where survivors gathered.
In front of them was just an underground mine pit, but there were electric lights and wires in it, which was very surprising.
"This is my brother's self-made solar energy. The wires are all arranged by my brother."
Seeing the surprised expressions of the others, Bao 'er could not help but say with a bit of pride.
Jiang Liushi's eyes fell on Yang Tianzhao.
He remembered that the steel crossbows held by those people and Bao 'er's signal arrows were probably made by Yang Tianzhao.
It seemed that this boy was a genius in manual invention.
After doomsday, many survivors had lost the importance of some human civilizations, and they only valued their own strength.
Jiang Liushi was different. He had always valued talents.
Only with real talents could the survivors have the hope to continue to survive and reproduce on Earth, and it was possible to rebuild civilization.
"Don't listen to Bao 'er. These solar lights have solar panels and so on. I just slightly repaired them." Seeing Jiang Liushi's inquiring eyes, Yang Tianzhao said.
"Well." Jiang Liushi nodded. "Now let me see the warehouse. Your things should have been categorized, right? I want a lot of rare metals, so I need all your stocks. As long as you give me these things, I won't embarrass you. "
Yang Tianzhao was relieved when he heard that Jiang Liushi was really there to get the metal.
"Well, I will take you there."
Yang Tianzhao agreed. He was worried that Jiang Liushi wanted metals such as iron.
These things were to be supplied to other forces. If the stock was insufficient, it would be very difficult.
He didn't expect that Jiang Liushi wanted some very rare metals.
They really did have these metals here. Basically, no one would have any ideas about these metals, and those forces had no use for them.
Perhaps they had sensed the commotion in the tunnel, as skinny miners slowly walked in from all directions of the tunnel.
These miners, without exception, turned out to be teenagers and children.
Some of the children were even completely naked, only wearing a pair of underpants. They had no clothes to wear.
They were all covered with all kinds of dust, and the only clean place was probably the two rows of white teeth in their mouths.
When they saw the group of strangers and the guns in their hands, there was a commotion in the mine pit, and some children were scared to cry.
Some brave teenagers raised their mining hoes vigilantly.
Yang Tianzhao was obviously the leader of this group of young miners, and his words had a lot of weight. With just a few words, he calmed down the commotion.
After a while, two teenagers in charge of the warehouse led Jiang Liushi, Zhang Hai and Yang Tianzhao into a warehouse dug out of an abandoned mine pit.
Ling and Sun Kun were still guarding the group of miners outside.
Under the watch of two paranormals, no one dared to have any other thoughts.
After a little wandering in the warehouse, Jiang Liushi could not help but feel surprised.
It was too barren.
Most of the storage was high-quality iron ore, copper ore and other ordinary metals, and some of them were gold and other things.
Some rare metals were placed in the most corner, and the bags were labeled.
In other places, there were only three bags of rice and some dry rations. There was also a piece of meat the size of two palms hanging on a wooden pole.
"Is this mutant meat?" Jiang Liushi turned around and asked Yang Tianzhao.
Yang Tianzhao suddenly felt a little nervous, because he only had one piece left.
"It is mutant meat, but it has deteriorated. I also smeared a lot of salt on it, so it tastes terrible." He tried to describe the meat as rotten as possible, trying to dispel some thoughts of Jiang Liushi.
Seeing Yang Tianzhao's nervous expression, Jiang Liushi faintly smiled. How could he not know what Yang Tianzhao was thinking?
But would he be interested in mutant meat?
Seeing Jiang Liushi's smile, Yang Tianzhao's face became hot. It seemed that he was despised.
It was ridiculous that he was afraid of others robbing him of mutant meat.
"Call some people to move all these rare metals to the foot of the mountain near the minibus." Jiang Liushi turned around and said to Yang Tianzhao.
His eyes glanced at those bags of rare metals, and he became excited.
This bag of rare metals weighed at least 250 kilograms.
Some rare metals, such as titanium, even weighed more than a thousand pounds.
In fact, titanium was not expensive, but it was not easy to find in doomsday. Many mining cities were located in distant provinces.
This time's harvest could let him not worry about rare metal materials for making alloy shells and other things for a long time.
"You... you got what you wanted, can you let us go?" Yang Tianzhao looked at Jiang Liushi expectantly.
After all, he was just a naive boy, so his emotions were easily written on his face.
"Don't worry. I also want you to help me make some simple time bombs and explosives. "Jiang Liushi said lightly," Those steel crossbows and the lifting devices at the wellhead, they are all made by you, right? Presumably, some simple time bombs and explosives are certainly not under your hands. "
Yang Tianzhao was stunned, and his heart suddenly became angry.
Sure enough, they were a group of greedy guys.
He could make time bombs, and explosives were even easier. However, explosives were very rare things, and it took time to configure them. In order to cope with the exploitation of Pan Zhu City, he had used a lot of them...
He was really distressed.
"You don't need to worry. I didn't ask you to make time bombs and explosives for nothing. I will trade with you, with mutant meat and other food, "Jiang Liushi said slowly.
Mutant meat? Food?
The anger that Yang Tianzhao felt just a moment ago vanished into thin air.
"Really? Then... how do you want to trade? "Yang Tianzhao's eyes were very bright, and he looked at Jiang Liushi with some stuttering.
Now, as a group of young miners, what they lacked the most was food.
As for mutant meat, it was even more important for him.
He felt that his strength was insufficient every day.
