The situation in the settlement is similar to what Qu Jianlei imagined.
Most of them are low-rise bungalows, with a few two-story buildings and three or four three-story buildings.
The avenue is not too narrow, it is about ten meters wide and can accommodate five cars traveling parallel, but the small alleys on the roadside are much narrower.
Xiao Jing has never been to this settlement, but he is still relatively clear about the general layout of the settlement.
The two of them didn't ask anyone for directions, so they just rode their motorcycles around the streets.
After wandering around for a long time, I found the lively markets in the settlement, mainly in the East Market and West Market.
To the south is the rich area, to the north is the adventurer area...the general layout is like this.
Xiao Jing made a suggestion, "According to this layout, the place where the treasure chest should be stored should be in the south."
Qu Jianlei thought so too. He asked curiously, "Xiao Jing, where was your home before?"
"Of course it's the rich area," Xiao Jing said with a scarf on her face. Her expression couldn't be seen, but she could tell that she was a little depressed.
Qu Jianlei didn't provoke him anymore, "Let's take a look at the prices of various goods first, and then cash them in immediately after we get them."
The two came to the market.
Although both of them were wearing hijab, and there were many people dressed like this, some people still noticed that these two were strangers.
So someone stepped forward and wanted to help guide the way. The lowest offer was just a nutrient supplement.
Xiao Jing said rudely, "You and the seller are in the same group, do you really think I don't know?"
Qu Jianlei looked at this scene and found it a bit interesting. In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is almost the same with Blue Star.
He was just a little curious, how could this seven or eight-year-old child know so much?
Think about Blue Star's children. If they can tie their own shoelaces at the age of seven or eight, they are considered independent.
It is said that children of poor people become rich early, but Xiao Jing's family conditions are extremely poor.
Maybe...this is the wasteland.
After roughly inquiring about the market, it was night. The two of them had no documents and could not stay in a hotel, so they had to make do with each other on the street for one night.
Qu Jianlei noticed that there were quite a few people living on the streets, and some of them were carrying firearms.
Some people looked at them very unkindly.
After all, he was carrying two knives, one long and one short, and Xiao Jing also had a short dagger, both of which were deliberately displayed.
Those guys with evil intentions lingered around for a while, and finally left in anger.
I guess I calculated the cost and felt it was a bit uneconomical.
What Qu Jianlei wondered was: Why couldn't he see the night watchman?
Xiao Jing gave him an explanation: There were too many homeless people and it was impossible to check them.
Therefore, only the rich area has inspection personnel, and other areas are indifferent.
Of course, if gunshots are fired, guards will definitely be called.
However, this situation is rare. After all, those who can enter the settlement have been verified.
After listening to this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh, "You can enter a settlement, but you have to live on the streets...some people still have guns."
The hairless monster replied calmly, "There are many opportunities in the settlement, and some people have also been brilliant."
The rest of the night was speechless.
When daybreak came, the two of them came to a breakfast stall. This was Qu Jianlei's first time eating out since he came to the wasteland.
Breakfast stalls specialize in processed nutritional supplements, which are mixed with other ingredients and taste better than eating nutritional supplements dry.
There are also grain breakfasts, but they are not all grains. They are mixed with vegetables or something - maybe wild vegetables?
There are even meat sellers, the portions are small and the prices are expensive.
Qu Jianlei ordered a portion of breakfast made with grains, but felt that the taste was just that, and he immediately lost the intention to try any more.
After breakfast, they continued to inquire about various market conditions.
After asking around enough, Qu Jianlei bought two large pieces of meat, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"I have something I want to store in a treasure chest, but I rarely come to Hongwu. How should I get there?"
The shop owner also doubted that he was the one who could afford to buy so much meat, so his net worth would definitely be the same, so he just pointed his finger at it.
Qu Jianlei's question is quite crucial. There are checkpoints and guards on the road to the rich area.
The guard looked at the silver medal and actually asked, "Do you know how to get there?"
Xiao Jing replied angrily, "You won't be able to earn this toll."
He was choked when he spoke, but as he watched them leave, the other guard rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to make it easier."
The guard understood in his heart and couldn't help but snort, "My eyes are bright, some people are not easy to mess with."
But the man replied with a smile, "It's not your fault. I still know who can and cannot be provoked."
There must be some explanation for trying to get the treasure chest without revealing your identity... It's probably the silver medal you picked up, who knows?
Qu Jianlei drove Xiao Jing on his motorcycle and arrived at the place where the treasure box was stored in a few minutes.
It was a store selling energy blocks.
Within the scope of the settlement, there is no energy block production at all. Those who can afford to open such a store must have a good background.
Before they even entered the store, someone stopped the two of them and said in a stiff tone, "If you are disheveled, you are not allowed to enter."
Not only were they dressed in a poor manner, but they were also wearing face scarves.
This kind of attire is not uncommon in other urban areas, but in wealthy areas, there are very few people dressed like this.
As a rich man, the right thing to do is to show off your face. Hiding one's head and head is too easy to attract others' attention.
Xiao Jing didn't say much. He raised his hand and showed the secret silver medal.
Someone in the distance also saw this scene, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they whispered in a low voice, "Hey, foreign money is coming?"
The person blocking the road also recognized the silver medal, but he insisted, "You are disheveled and are not allowed in. Please wait."
At this point, Xiao Jing is no longer good at it, because he only knows the general situation and does not grasp the relevant details.
Qu Jianlei snorted when he saw this, "We want to put some more things in, do we need to change clothes?"
The other person wasn't angry, but he didn't give in either. He acted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"I'm just a clerk, why do you two bother me? I'll just report to the supervisor."
This style of speaking was a bit incompatible with the wasteland, and Qu Jianlei even felt a hint of Blue Star.
After a while, a well-dressed man came out.
He didn't mind the attires of the two people opposite him. He had seen many rich people and naturally knew that some people really had quirks.
After checking the silver medal, he was a little stunned, "It was from fifty years ago...is it expiring soon? Why didn't you come earlier?"
Before Xiao Jing could say anything, Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Whether we come or not is our own business."
The man was startled when he heard this, then coughed slightly, "Wait a minute, I'll check whether it's expired."
Qu Jianlei and Xiao Jingdu didn't speak, and they looked a bit confident to others.
Not long after, the man came out again and spoke calmly, "It's due in more than two years. You guys came just in time."
Qu Jianlei was too lazy to say anything more and raised his chin slightly, "Lead the way."
The location where the treasure chest is located does not face the street.
The man led them into a courtyard, passed three guards, and then arrived at a warehouse.
The interior of the warehouse is very neat, the lights are bright, and rows of cabinets are neatly placed.
The man brought them to a cabinet and spoke seriously, "This is where money has been stored for more than 40 years..."
"We can guarantee that it has not been touched, but we are not responsible for changes in the contents over time."
"We will judge ourselves," this is what Qu Jianlei said.
Xiao Jing's words were even more direct, "Please avoid me now."
The supervisor turned and left. Qu Jianlei placed the silver medal in the recess of the cabinet. The cabinet shook very slightly.
The shaking lasted for about half a minute. When it stopped, he raised his hand and pulled it, and the cabinet door opened with a sound.
The cabinet is not small, but the door and walls are quite thick, and the space inside is less than half a cubic meter.
Seeing the yellow light emanating from inside, Qu Jianlei and Xiao Jingdu let out a light sigh.
It's actually a thick two-layer gold bar.
There is a partition on the gold bar, a stack of documents, and a small box next to it.
Take out the documents and take a look at them. They are all property title deeds and so on.
The small box was opened, and inside was a black ring with deep patterns on it.
Qu Jianlei put the ring back into the box without much thought and put it into his arms.
Looking at the two layers of gold, he was a little worried. It didn't look big, but it must have weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
How to get this?
Gold is very heavy, and its specific gravity is abnormally heavy, making it very difficult to transport.
One hundred kilograms of grain is much easier to move than one hundred kilograms of grain.
After thinking for a while, he walked to the warehouse door and waved to the supervisor, "Please come over here."
The supervisor just wanted to avoid suspicion, but if the customer calls, of course he can follow.
In fact, he was also very curious, "What are your orders, sir?"
"I need a sturdy bag," Qu Jianlei frowned and said, "It can bear a weight of two hundred kilograms. Buy it at a high price."
The supervisor was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "The bag is easy to say...what should it contain? Is it corrosive? Can it be bumped?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a while, then led him to the cabinet, "Put the gold in."
When the supervisor saw Huang Chengcheng in his eyes, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and his face became uncertain.
"This is really... a treasure chest from more than 40 years ago. Now gold is no longer allowed to be traded."
Qu Jianlei and Xiao Jing were also a little speechless. In today's wasteland, gold is indeed a controlled material, and trading is illegal.
However, Qu Jianlei didn't care very much. Gold is controlled, but not that strictly.
He used to hang out in garbage dumps, so he knows this best. Gold can be found in many discarded components.
In the end, the gold did not go through formal circulation channels, but was digested by private individuals.
In the final analysis, what is prohibited is prohibited, but the intensity of the investigation is not strong - even the fat lady dares to accept gold.
Thinking of Fat Sister, Qu Jianlei's heart twitched again: Hundreds of lives... died because of me.
Then he couldn't help but become anxious, "Gold can be traded... just don't tell anyone."
"Gold... of course can be traded," the supervisor was stunned for a moment before he replied seriously, "It can be done now."
He didn't expect the other party to know anything about it, so he suggested seriously, "We will collect gold at a fair price."
