Chapter 1280 It’s scary anyway, you can’t grasp it!
"Either I give you two kilograms of salt and 18 kilograms of gasoline."
"Or 4.8 pounds of salt."
"Or 48 pounds of gasoline."
"How do you choose?"
After Ju Tianrui finished speaking, he said no more and quietly waited for their reply.
In the apocalypse, it is already extremely difficult to obtain fuel.
Otherwise, Mr. Hu would not trade with Oil City.
After Xie Dongming heard Ju Tianrui's quotation, it was obviously lower than his expectations.
Such a low exchange ratio.
To be honest, it is not that easy to get 48 pounds of dried taro.
Although salt is very important, you won’t die if you don’t eat it.
Fuel is also very important, as long as you can walk.
But to get 48 pounds of dried taro, they need to spend a lot of time and energy.
It takes a lot of time just to look for it, and it also has to be peeled, sliced, and dried.
After struggling for a long time, Xie Dongming looked at the people behind him.
Several people shook their heads.
So Xie Dongming said apologetically:
"This exchange ratio is really too low. Sorry, we can't accept it."
Seemingly worried that Ju Tianrui opposite would be angry, he continued:
"Thank you very much for your willingness to trade medicines with us, thank you."
When Ju Tianrui heard that they were unwilling, he coughed.
Slowly looked at Li Yu behind him.
Ning Tai, who had been paying attention to Ju Tianrui, saw Ju Tianrui looking behind him.
Only then did he find Li Yu standing behind like a passerby.
Suddenly he shouted in surprise: "City..."
"yue...."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Tian, who was standing next to him, punched him in the stomach.
His eyes were full of warning.
Li Yu didn't want to reveal his identity in this way, so he greeted Zhou Tian and Ju Tianrui in advance.
Ning Tai looked at Zhou Tian with resentment, puzzled.
But at least he understood what he had just done, so he did not dare to say any more.
It happened that their movements here attracted the attention of Xie Dongming and others.
So they didn't see Li Yu making a two-hand gesture towards Ju Tianrui.
Obviously, Li Yu also felt that this exchange ratio was too low.
Ju Tianrui guessed that Li Yu meant twice as much.
So he pretended to twist his neck and said to Xie Dongming:
"Well, it's not easy for you to come all the way, and it's your first time trading. How about I give you 4 kilograms of salt and 36 kilograms of gasoline at twice the price?"
36 pounds of gasoline is equivalent to dozens of liters of gasoline, enough to run hundreds of kilometers.
My wife is seriously ill in bed and it is extremely difficult to walk without taking a car.
Thinking of this, Xie Dongming hesitated again and again. Although he felt that the exchange ratio was still a bit low, he needed these things, so he said:
"Okay, then I'll exchange it according to the ratio you said."
Ju Tianrui waved and asked the two combatants to get the supplies.
When they went to get supplies, Ju Tianrui's expression softened slightly and he said:
"The thunderstorm disaster is coming soon, what are you going to do?"
Listening to his tone, Xie Dongming felt like it was a done deal.
Although there is some doubt, this is what a high-level figure from a large force said.
There should be no need to deceive these people.
But he still asked with some doubts:
"Excuse me, big brother. I want to ask..."
"My surname is Ju." Ju Tianrui looked at this man who was more than ten years older than him and kept calling him brother. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply blew himself up.
"Brother Ju."
Hearing him call him eldest brother, Ju Tianrui couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Is this news reliable? Where did you get this news?"
Hearing this familiar question, Ju Tianrui didn't want to answer it anymore.
"Reliable, do you think I need to lie to you?"
Ju Tianrui's tone was a little impatient.
"To be honest, the apocalypse has been going on for so long, and there are not many survivors alive, so we think we can save one by one. The source of the information is reliable. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."
"In addition, we will provide you with a safe place."
"There are only about ten days until the natural disaster. Within ten days, if you think clearly, you can take your people to take refuge here. Don't wait until it's too late."
"In addition, if you know other survivor teams, you can also talk to them."
After hearing what Ju Tianrui said, Xie Dongming's expression changed again and again.
In this short minute, his mood fluctuated greatly.
It seems that a natural disaster is really coming.
Thinking of every natural disaster he had experienced before, he felt extremely painful inside.
I think they had more than a hundred people at the beginning, but now there are less than twenty.
Every time there is a natural disaster, they are like rats huddled in a smelly ditch.
The natural disaster that frightened them the most before was heavy fog.
They huddled in a small basement, blocking the door. Behind the door were zombies attacking again and again.
During that time, he hardly slept at all.
It was also that time that made his hair turn white.
He had also witnessed one of his brothers being swept away by a flood, and then dragged into the water by zombies in the flood and disappeared.
....
After gathering his thoughts, Xie Dongming asked nervously:
"Is there any difference between this natural disaster and previous heavy rain disasters?"
Ju Tianrui sneered and said:
"Separation? That's too big. This may be the most terrifying one in the history of natural disasters."
"As for how terrifying it is, just think about it yourself."
In fact, Ju Tianrui doesn't know what the natural disasters like thunderstorms are like.
After all, he has never experienced it, but just seeing that the city lord cares so much about this matter, he can feel that this thunderstorm natural disaster is definitely not simple.
Therefore, he actually didn’t know how to answer it. Anyway, it was just scary!
After Xie Dongming heard his answer, his expression became more serious.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ju. I will think about it carefully and discuss it with others after I go back."
"Um."
Ju Tianrui nodded and said: "The time is limited. After the time has passed, we will close the door and no one can come in by then."
"Battal Commander, the salt and gasoline are here." Two combatants came over pushing a trolley.
"Okay, give it to them." Ju Tianrui nodded.
"battalion commander?"
Xie Dongming looked at Ju Tianrui with some surprise, his eyes full of shock.
"Are you from the army? Are you from the government?"
It has been five years since the end of the world. At first, they had hoped that the government would come to rescue them, but the greater their hope, the greater their disappointment.
The repeated disappointments made them recognize the reality and abandon their illusions.
After hearing his question, Ju Tianrui said with a sigh on his face:
"In the procession before the end of the world, after the end of the world... well, let's not talk about it..."
He didn't finish speaking, adjusted his tone and continued:
"However, many of the people in our trading market came from the army."
"Really!?" Xie Dongming was a little excited.
It is difficult to distinguish people's hearts in the apocalypse, but sometimes people who come out of the ranks can always be more trustworthy.
Although there are some scum.
But in his opinion, compared to other survivors, those who come out of the army are more likely to be good people.
"Really." Ju Tianrui replied seriously.
He felt the reason behind Xie Dongming's excited tone.
Even though everything has passed, he still wants to protect this identity.
"Okay, I understand, I will definitely come." Xie Dongming said forcefully.
When Ju Tianrui heard what he said, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
Slowly he said: "We welcome you to come."
"Thanks."
The transaction has been completed and the conversation has been completed.
Knowing that they were just here to trade supplies today and would go back later, Ju Tianrui asked Ning Tai to send them out.
Went back to the car in Wengcheng with antibiotics, salt, and fuel.
....
Wengcheng.
Ningtai gave some advice: "We are destined, I hope you can come, take care."
"Thank you." Xie Dongming said this seriously.
With antibiotics, his wife might be saved.
After saying goodbye to each other, Xie Dongming said to the driver:
"drive!"
The pickup truck slowly drove out of Wengcheng, the trading market.
Ningtai's eyes flickered as he watched the vehicle drive further and further away.
This group of people was somewhat different from the survivors he had encountered before.
The difference is...it's more humane.
