Chapter 388

Johnson sneezed and rubbed his nose, red with the cold wind.

It's eight o'clock in the morning. Although it's already bright, the weather is not warm because of the arrival of the day in the cold winter season. Sunlight is the product of the old era, but in the new era, people can only enjoy the sky light from the thick radiation cloud to the earth.

Looking around, outside pavaric is a vast white world. The radiation clouds piled up on the road and turned the whole land into a snow field. The branches and leaves of the abnormal tall Chinese fir trees have been stripped, leaving only the yellowish brown epidermis. Without branches and leaves, Chinese fir trees will not have to bear the heavy pressure of radiation snow. The nearly kilometer long fibrous roots allow them to absorb water in some flowing underground water, waiting for the opportunity to grow branches and leaves in the next spring.

Looking at the almost boundless silver frost forest outside parvallich, Johnson could not help shivering. Under the quiet forest, if someone digs underground, he will find a country full of fibrous roots. In that country, you'll see mountains of bones. After all, the plants in the new era no longer only rely on sunlight and rain to survive, they have become some bloodthirsty existence.

So Johnson was glad he lived in parvallice, even though it was a place where no shit happened, even though he would be on guard in the tower before five o'clock every day. But at least in this small town, Johnson has a job and can support his wife and children. With the efforts of mayor Mensa and several important figures, pavalic's life is getting better and better day by day.

In addition to Chairman Fred's hunter trade union, which generates huge profits from the small town's fur revenue every year, it also has an important customer. Johnson couldn't help looking at the dense forest in the southwest of the town, where a group of magical lives lived. They built a grand underground city and controlled a seemingly limitless oil well.

Oil!

One of the most scarce things in the new era is that those living underground use this kind of fuel called "black gold" to barter with pavaric. This business alone has benefited the whole town. Naturally, most of the interests are in the hands of big people. Ordinary people like Johnson only get a little dividend every year. But that's the bonus. It's three months' salary for Johnson!

In this cruel age, there is bread to eat and pure water to drink every day, and doctors can ask when they are sick. Johnson believes that for many people, pavalic is already paradise.

It was so cold that Johnson rubbed his red hands. He felt an itch on the back of his hand and scratched it with his fingers. On the back of Johnson's hand, there was a cocoon that was not too thick. The cocoons are spiral in shape, with dark red silk threads running through them like capillaries. Looking at the cocoon, Johnson thought he had to go to the hospital sometime.

It's a kind of "skin disease" that almost every ordinary person living in the surface town will suffer from. The existence of mutated tissue will make people like Johnson resistant to the surface radiation, but they are two-sided blades. In addition to improving the radiation resistance of ordinary people, they will also try their best to absorb the vitality of ordinary people, so that they will have a shorter life than those who live in underground cities and have good environmental protection.

Fortunately, the only small hospital in pavarichiri is qualified for the operation of variant tissue resection. It's just that there's no way to eradicate it completely. The residents of the town have to do this operation almost every three years to prolong their life.

Thinking about whether his savings would be enough to pay for a resection, Johnson suddenly heard about the car engine. In some surprise, he looked out into the snow outside the town. At first, it was just a black spot, but a moment later. A modified Jeep smashes the snow on the ground through the snow removal system and sprays it from both sides, so that it can drive out of the silver frost forest and come straight to pavaric.

There seems to be a cargo hopper behind the jeep, which is covered with tarpaulin. I don't know what it is.

It was only after the initial surprise had passed that Johnson regained his composure. He couldn't see anything suspicious except the car. He thought it should be adventurers, though they are rare in this season. But there are also some undesirables who rush through the wilderness to make huge profits when the roads are closed in winter and the prices are rising.

There are two or three of them in pavalic every winter. And usually, the next year will rarely see those who dare to take risks face. Wilderness is not safe, especially in winter. The road is difficult to pass the environment, if in distress is difficult to get rescue. However, this is also the reason why venture businessmen make huge profits.

After all, profit always goes with risk.

Know to know, but Johnson still faithfully perform the duties of a gatekeeper. First, he informed the guard with his walkie talkie to keep the soldiers of the city defense team on guard. Then he took an old-fashioned firearm and rifle, pointed it at the approaching vehicle under the tower, and said in a loud voice, "Hey, stop, man!"Three times in a row, the car stopped in the snow hundreds of meters away from the entrance. The door of the jeep opened and a man jumped out of the car. From the body shape, it should be a man, tall and tall, but the body shape is not very strong, on the contrary, it has a kind of delicate feeling. The man wrapped himself in a hooded cloak to keep his temperature.

He stretched out his hand under his cloak and lifted his hood to reveal an Asian face. From the appearance, this man is very young, facial features are also very handsome, people will see a good impression. It's just that he's wearing an eye patch over his right eye, which somehow makes him uncomfortable.

The young man said in a clear voice, "Hello, we are adventurers from the far south. I heard that your fur is of high quality, so I want to buy some. Besides, we bring some goods that you should be interested in. "

Johnson nodded. The introduction of Zhonggui Zhongqi was nothing special. He pointed the barrel at the bucket and said, "Sir, please uncover the tarpaulin on your bucket and accept our guard's inspection."

"No problem." The man was very cooperative. He waved to the car, and two more figures jumped down.

From the figure, it should be a man and a woman. Although he couldn't see her face because of her hat, the curve of the woman's figure occasionally revealed from her cape made her throat dry.

At this time, the alloy gate of the town was separated from both sides with the help of hydraulic machine. Four or five guards quickly ran out of the town and jumped on the cargo bucket for inspection. A moment later, a guard called out to Johnson on the tower, "no problem, it's mostly food, and two boxes of rifles. It's wrapped in tarpaulin. It looks like it's first class. "

After the guard jumped out of the car, the young man shook hands with him, as if saying thank you for letting him go. Johnson laughed and put away his rifle. If the guard is lucky, he will get a tip if he meets a generous businessman. Of course, the city guards like them, even if they get tips from generous businessmen, are usually equally divided.

Johnson no longer takes charge of the affairs under the city, but informs the gate to let it go. He did not know that the guard did get a tip, and a lot more.

The guard felt something hard in his palm. When the young adventurer took back his hand, he found that there was a small piece of yellow gold in his palm. There was a burst of joy in his heart. This small piece of gold was almost equal to his half year income. Just when he was happy, he heard the young businessman say in a gentle voice: "I don't know which shop in the town has the best reputation. You see, we have a lot of business to do. We have to find a reliable business to cooperate."

The guard secretly hid the gold and nodded: "when it comes to credibility, naturally we have to find owl business. Their boss is the chairman of the chamber of Commerce in our town. Credibility must not be said."

Then the young businessman said, "would you please tell me where this firm is?"

The guard took the advantage of others and saw that the young man was very polite. He patted his chest and said, "well, I'll take you there."

"That would be great." The young man said with a smile.

When the guard left, the young man and two other companions got back on the bus. On the back seat of the carriage sat a petite girl, a total of four people driving in the car, swaggering into pavalic under the guard. These people, of course, are zero, belien, Su and a Ryukyu. As early as last night, the linkage team of the three giants of asgat arrived on the other side of the silver frost forest. It is now in the cold winter, and the road is blocked by heavy snow. There are no pavalic townspeople at all. Even the hunters in the town are at rest at this time, so the motorcade is not afraid to be discovered by the people in the town.

This morning, Beyonce provided a false identity for zero and others to enter pavaricci, that is to pretend to be an adventurer. In order to gain pavalic's trust, the food on the bucket and even the guns were purchased from some factories along the south coast. Even if the pavalic chamber of Commerce conducted a rigorous investigation of these goods, it would only find that they came from the south.

For Beyonce's carefulness, zero naturally has nothing to say. In the early morning, when the sky was dim, he and belien went through the edge of the silver frost forest to reach the town. Now, they have moved into the town, which is half the success of the plan.

On the bus, Su said, "the captain is also very good at acting like a businessman."

Belline, sitting in the back seat, said: "there is no such young adventurer. If it's me, I must catch an old man to play the role of an old man."

Ling said with a smile: "the old man is always prudent. How many people dare to come here through the wilderness at this time. It's only a bird like me who seems to have just entered the trade that comes all the way to China. Besides, as long as it is profitable, businessmen will not care whether their partners are young people or old people. "

Talking and laughing, the car passed the gate. The security guard who received zero profit didn't break his promise. He drove a motorcycle to lead the way and led a few people behind him. It's getting late. There are pedestrians walking around in the town, and the shops on the street are opening one by one. The town is becoming more and more energetic.Driving on the main road of the town, the residents of the town are curious about their early morning visitors and cast all kinds of eyes on their vehicles. Occasionally, when the tarpaulin of the cargo bucket is lifted by the wind to reveal the box with guns, the residents will make a little commotion. Although the town's economy is good, but the transaction is mainly fur, as well as unknown "black gold".

Guns are undoubtedly another kind of hard currency besides black gold. Limited by the backward level of science and technology and production capacity, pavaric did not have such products as Arsenal. The guns used by hunters and city guards are also purchased from other places, which lags far behind in performance. Therefore, compared with other commodities, guns are more popular among businessmen in pavaric.

Among them, several businessmen were very interested in the two boxes of guns. When they saw the zero car parked in front of the door of owl shop, they had no choice but to die. The owner of the owl shop is Sharon, the chairman of the town chamber of Commerce. That unscrupulous businessman will certainly not let go of such highly profitable goods as guns. If Sharon does it, they ordinary businessmen will not have a hand in it.

"Here it is." The guard jumped off the motorcycle, said to zero, and cried to the shop that had opened to welcome customers: "old rob, don't get out quickly, there are big customers coming."

Zero let Berion three people stay in the car, he jumped out of the car. At this time, a skinny old man slowly came out of the shop. The old man first glared at the guard and said, "I'm not afraid to make a noise in the morning. The boy of the octa family hasn't seen him in a few days. He has no improvement in other things. His voice is much louder."

The guard laughed, pointed to the old man and said to zero, "Sir, old rob is in charge of owl business. You can find him if you have any business. I've brought you the place, so I'll walk. There's a lot of work waiting for me to do. "

"Thank you, and may the Almighty God bless you, sir." Zero said, crossing her chest.

Before she came here, Beyonce told him that the reason why adventurers usually go through dangerous wilderness is that they believe in the existence of gods more than anyone else. So if zero can add some elements of this aspect to the conversation, it will make his identity look more credible.

Sure enough, after zero said that, the old man's look at zero was a little less distrust.

"This guest, since you are from the octa family, come in. I don't know what business you are going to do?" The old man waved to zero, and then he went into the shop first.

Zero toward the car a few people give a wink, including Yeliu, the other three people all get off the car, and with zero into the shop. Old rob took them to a quiet room, sat down, took out the list of goods that had been prepared in the morning, handed it to the old man and said, "these are the goods we brought. They are all the top-grade goods produced by the southern factory. I think parvallich will need them."

The old man took it over and looked at it. The list listed a series of different canned foods, as well as some fruits of artificial value, which were rare in pavalic. What really moved old rob was the two boxes of excellent firearms and rifles. Although they were imitation of the old guns, they were much better than the old guns that pavari bought from other places. Moreover, they were accompanied by a considerable amount of ammunition. Few businessmen would not be moved to see them.

Old rob was not moved on the surface and said lightly: "since you can find our owl business, I will give you a good price for these goods. Why don't you wait, our valuer hasn't come to work yet, or are you interested in visiting our small town? "

"No, in fact, we want to resell some special products of your town this time." Zero showed a deep smile.

Old rob lowered his head, looked at zero with his turbid eyes, and said, "please make it clear, our special products are many, fur is one of them."

"More valuable than fur, I want to buy some black gold." Zero said.

"Oh," old rob said, "guest, you are well-informed. It's just that black gold is unusual. What we charge is cash."

"I know that." Zero gestured to belline, who threw him a backpack. Zero to leeward open, upside down, immediately fell out of the backpack a gold bar.

Old Rob's eyes were dazzled by the gold. He rubbed his eyes, picked up a piece of gold bar from the ground with the agility of a young man and bit it in his mouth. He was surprised and said, "good guy, good purity."

"The old man is very knowledgeable. I don't know how much black gold these gold bars can buy you?"

Old rob signed for zero to put away the gold bar, and then said, "the amount you want is beyond my control. I have to inform my master that he should be interested in discussing this business with you. Please wait here for a moment. I'll be right there

After that, old rob was dismissed.Belline wanted to say something, but zero shook his head slightly, so he swallowed it back and waited quietly in the small room with the rest of the people. He didn't let the odd people wait too long, so old rob opened the door and waved to the odd people, "come with me, my father, Lord Sharon, wants to see you."

Sharon stretched out and struggled to get up from the big thatched bed. He looked at the jade bodies on the bed and laughed with complacency. He is no longer young, but his energy has not degenerated. On the contrary, he is more vigorous than ever. Last night, he fought with these three beautiful young women almost all night. They played a lot of tricks and almost fell asleep in the early morning.

Originally, according to Sharon's habit, he had such a carnival last night that he had to sleep all day. But just now old rob, the manager of the firm, called and said that there was an adventurous businessman carrying a whole backpack of gold bars to buy black gold. This is a big business. So no matter how unhappy Sharon is, he can only leave this warm bed for a while.

However, pavalic's black gold trading has always been secret, and the source of customers is fixed, so there are few new faces. Especially according to old Rob's description, these adventurers are very young. Of course, only young people dare to make money in this season, just like Sharon. However, he is no longer young, time has given him mature and thoughtful thinking.

Sharon thought about it and asked old rob to bring the guests to his apartment. At the same time, he transferred a guard of his own. He wants to find out the details of these people. It's not a big deal to kill someone in pavaric if he doesn't have a good intention.

Sharon, with a smile, reaches out his big hand and grabs one of the white flowers' buttocks before he is satisfied to leave.
