"Captain Jiang, Hejiang Town is in front of us."
Peach's voice was conveyed to Jiang Liushi through Ran Xiyu.
Peach was a psychic paranormal, but her mental strength was far inferior to Ran Xiyu's. What she was good at was not telepathic, so she had to pass the message through Ran Xiyu.
Jiang Liushi looked into the distance. At the end of the road, a building was faintly visible, and many vehicles could be seen from afar.
At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the temperature had begun to drop. The sky had turned gray, and the thick clouds seemed to be pressing down on the buildings, making the town appear a little gloomy, like a dormant beast.
In front of Jiang Liushi, there were some teams heading in the direction of Hejiang Town. According to Peach, those teams were survivors from other areas of Jiangning, who had just returned from hunting or searching for supplies.
Hejiang Town was not only a trading market, but there were also some strong survivor teams and some small teams attached to them living here.
The entire market of Hejiang Town was also monitored and maintained by those strong teams.
"The military's safety zone is in the north of Hejiang Town," Peach said.
Jiang Liushi looked at the town in the distance and nodded. "I see."
It was already late, so they couldn't reach the military's safety zone in time.
Jiang Liushi and his team arrived in front of the town. Before the minibus stopped, they saw some people surrounding them.
Most of those people were women, dressed in revealing clothes. One of them asked in a sweet voice, "Are you here to trade? Do you need to provide the market information for today and tomorrow? "
However, as soon as Wei Feifei got out of the minibus, her indifferent aura immediately made the women in front of her disperse in a hurry.
"Captain Jiang." Wei Feifei came in front of the minibus.
The door opened, and Jiang Liushi appeared.
"What are these people doing?" Jiang Liushi asked.
"They are residents of Hejiang Town. The goods and purchase information that appear in the trading market change every day. They sort out the information and sell it to the teams that come to trade. In addition, many teams' men also like to be accompanied by women. If the price is right, they will not refuse to trade with men. Even if the price is a little higher, it is not impossible to buy them directly, "Wei Feifei said.
Jiang Liushi felt a little uncomfortable listening to Wei Feifei's indifferent conversation with a man like him.
Wei Feifei looked like an underage girl, and it was not appropriate to talk about these things with him.
"Call a guide. We don't have much time." Jiang Liushi coughed and said.
At that moment, some women had heard Jiang Liushi's words, so they surrounded him.
Jiang Liushi was good-looking and very young. He was much better than those ruthless or impatient men. Those women were scrambling to choose Jiang Liushi as a high-quality customer.
"Little handsome, choose me. The information I get is always firsthand."
"Captain, I think we are destined to meet." A woman with heavy makeup pushed the others to the front and winked at Jiang Liushi.
"You say that to everyone. Aren't you a cliché? You'd better choose me. I'm cheap and good." The other person was even more blatant.
Jiang Liushi looked at those women in front of him. It was like when a group of women came out of the train station or bus station, holding signs and asking him "Do you want to eat?", "Do you want to stay?", "Do you want to take a taxi?"
"You." Jiang Liushi had a headache. He glanced at a young woman who was pushed to the back by those women. It seemed that she also wanted to promote herself, but she was hesitant.
The young woman was stunned for a moment. It seemed that she did not believe that Jiang Liushi was calling her.
"Don't look. It's you. What's your price? "Jiang Liushi asked.
He estimated that the woman had just joined this industry, and she looked relatively honest.
"250 grams of rice..." The young woman was stunned for a moment, and then her voice was like a mosquito humming.
If Jiang Liushi's ears were not sharp, he might not have heard it clearly.
"Then it's you." Jiang Liushi said.
When the young woman saw that Jiang Liushi had really chosen her, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face showed a happy expression.
250 grams of rice was nothing for a survivor team, but for ordinary people, it was enough for one or two days.
However, these people might not be able to get business every day. When there was no business, most of them would go hungry.
Hearing that Jiang Liushi had made a decision, the rest of the women dispersed in disappointment and continued to wait for other survivor teams.
The young woman quickly walked toward Jiang Liushi. She was in her early 20s, probably the age of a university student. Her clothes were clean, and her face and hair were washed very clean. Although she did not apply any cosmetics, it seemed that she had cleaned herself as much as possible within the scope of her ability.
"Boss, my name is Lin Jie..." The young woman introduced herself with some fear.
"Don't bother. If you have any questions, just tell me." Jiang Liushi interrupted her.
"Mm-hmm." Lin Jie nodded and quickly added, "Thank you, Boss."
"You don't need to call me boss. Just call me Captain Jiang." Jiang Liushi felt a little awkward when he heard the word 'boss'.
"Ah, I'm sorry... I know, Captain Jiang." Lin Jie was a little timid in front of Jiang Liushi.
"Oh, Captain Jiang, if you want to enter the town, you have to pay the entrance fee," Lin Jie said.
"Why do we have to pay the entrance fee? There was no such rule before," Wei Feifei frowned and said.
Lin Jie quickly explained, "This is a new rule that was implemented half a month ago."
"Half a month? I haven't been to Hejiang Town for half a month. But everyone comes to Hejiang Town to trade. Hejiang Town can become prosperous. How can we be charged for the entrance fee? It's unreasonable, "Wei Feifei said angrily.
"This... this is all set by those big shots. I'm just conveying the message," Lin Jie said nervously.
"You don't need to be afraid. It's not personal. How much is the entrance fee? "Jiang Liushi asked.
"Five pounds of rice for each team," Lin Jie said.
"Then we will count as a team and give them five pounds of rice," Jiang Liushi said.
Jiang Liushi wanted to borrow Hejiang Town's trading market, so he didn't want to cause any trouble. Five pounds of rice was nothing to him. For them, rice was only occasionally used to change their taste. It was not a staple food at all.
"Then I'll pay." Wei Feifei insisted, so Jiang Liushi just let her be.
Wei Feifei took five pounds of rice and gave it to Lin Jie. She asked Lin Jie to give it to the guards at the entrance. Lin Jie's salary was also paid in advance.
Lin Jie was very happy to get her own half pound of rice. She carefully put the rice in a canvas bag she carried with her, and then she said to Jiang Liushi and Wei Feifei gratefully, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Isn't this what you deserve?" Jiang Liushi said.
"Actually... we don't have any guarantee because we are all very weak. Some people say they don't want to pay, so they don't pay. We can't do anything about it. Some customers will have evil intentions... "Lin Jie said with her head lowered.
Jiang Liushi could see that she was afraid of that kind of thing, but even if she was afraid, she could only be a guide. Otherwise, she would really starve to death.
"You go and pay the ticket," Jiang Liushi said.
After paying the ticket, the car could also be driven to the town's parking lot. Those who were unwilling to pay the ticket could only gather outside the town.
Jiang Liushi glanced around and found that most of the people outside the town couldn't afford or were reluctant to pay the ticket. The things they could sell were also very limited. Most of the survivors who set up stalls were ordinary people, wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets or down jackets, squatting on the ground or next to a car.
The parking lot was less than 200 meters after entering the town. From the parking lot, a large number of stalls had been set up. Although it was close to night, in such a safe zone, the stalls would be open until late.
"There are many small things in these roadside stalls, but if Captain Jiang wants to do some big business, there is no need to waste time in these roadside stalls." After getting her salary in advance and finding that Jiang Liushi was easy to talk to, Lin Jie gradually became more fluent.
Wei Feifei only brought Peach, and Jiang Liushi only brought Jiang Zhuying, Ran Xiyu, and Ying. The rest of the team stayed in the minibus. Although it seemed to be peaceful here, Jiang Liushi would not take it lightly. It was safer for Professor Su and the others to stay under the protection of the minibus.
Jiang Liushi listened to Lin Jie's introduction and nodded. At that moment, he felt his pocket move.
"Uh?" Jiang Liushi immediately looked around vigilantly and pressed his pocket. What happened? Even Ran Xiyu didn't notice anything unusual?
But as soon as he pressed it, Jiang Liushi knew what was going on. A sound came from his pocket.
Luoluo … that little guy had gotten into his pocket. Jiang Liushi opened his pocket and saw a small furry head desperately buried, and a pair of long ears were still swaying.
Jiang Liushi was speechless. Could it be that he couldn't see it if it buried its head?
"Over there is the largest market. Every day, there are some big deals. Only powerful teams go there to trade." Along the way, Lin Jie led Jiang Liushi and the others to a building that looked like a restaurant.
"Today, there are guns and ammunition, some grenades, explosives and other hot weapons being traded here. There are also information about the areas of mutant beasts that have been cleared, as well as … female slaves and so on." When she said the last word, Lin Jie's expression became a little complicated. She didn't want to mention this kind of trade information. However, in Hejiang Town, the trade of female slaves was very prosperous, and it wasn't every day that they could meet.
"This information is also for sale? Maybe we can also buy information about level-2 mutant zombies. By the way, are special metals also traded here? "Jiang Liushi asked.
"Special metals? I don't know much about this, but if Captain Jiang is interested, you can post a purchase request at the trade fair. Generally, as long as the item is not very troublesome, someone will accept it, "Lin Jie said.
