The number of followers in the team is as many as hundreds, and consuming water purification every day is a considerable number. Liu Tianming does not think that the water supply pipeline in the ruins of this city can still operate normally, and the water source is so far from the train station. Since that is the case, what can Hu Zhejianghai use to supply himself?

He saw the doubts in Liu Tianming's eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely do what I say."

Hu Zhehai changed into a more comfortable standing position and said with a smile: "We have several water trucks. You should have seen it. It was the kind that the government greening department watered the green belt on the street before the virus broke out. The water tank was very large, and I guess two trucks of water every day were enough for you. Of course, the water pumped from the river had not been purified, so you had to boil the water yourself before drinking. If it was a bath, then there was no problem."

So that's it.

"Thank you for your help."

Liu Tianming nodded with satisfaction: "Just do as you said!"

Hu Zhehai grinned, revealing two rows of neat and white teeth: "Nothing in this world is free, isn't it?"

Liu Tianming's hostility towards this guy has dropped to the lowest point. It's very simple. Hu Zhejianghai looks like a businessman, not a survivor who is struggling to survive in the ruins of the city in the conventional sense. As long as it is a normal exchange, everyone must pay attention to credit, which is also Liu Tianming's favorite method.

"As long as the price is reasonable, I will have no problem."

Hu Zhejianghai shrugged: "It seems we have reached a consensus. Haha! But I know nothing about you, I don't even know what goods you have? What can you do in exchange for? This is not an inquiry into the secret, I just want to understand a little. Haha... Captain Liu, if I say this, you shouldn't be angry, right?"

He still seemed very careful and tried not to anger the other person verbally. It can be seen that Hu Zhehai had done a lot of similar things before, and he must have known many people.

Liu Tianming didn't care about this. He thought for a moment and gave his own reply: "We have rice and flour, and some canned lunch meat and canned fish. Well... and some ham, the whole marinated type, without slicing. I guess you won't be interested in pickles and salt."

"Oh! If there are only these exchanges you can take out, I'm afraid you and your team will have to spend a lot of money on two trucks a day."

Hu Zhehai shook his head with dissatisfaction: "To be honest, we are not short of food. The city had a permanent population of tens of millions during its prosperity. After the outbreak of the virus, supermarkets and shops were filled with food. Although a large part of it was penetrated by rainwater due to poor storage and became moldy and spoiled, the remaining part was enough for us to eat for several years. Almost everyone escaped, and the mutant monsters had no interest in food."

"You probably don't quite understand what "commercial value" is. In fact, no matter now or in the past, the rule of value has never changed. Scarcity is precious. I am not starting a price on the ground, but you need water. My water truck passes through the territory of other forces, and I also have to pay taxes. Deduct the part that must be spent, and then my profit is my heap. Haha! Captain Liu, if your exchange is just ordinary food, of course I can accept it. But... the quantity will be very large and quite large. I think you will never accept that number. But there is no way, this is the rule, the rule set by everyone in this city."

Liu Tianming did not answer. He smiled faintly, turned his head, and pinched his fingers at Zheng Xiaoyue who was standing behind him. Zheng Xiaoyue nodded understandingly, carried the assault rifle on his back, and turned around and walked towards the direction of the train.

She walked swayingly. Black sexy stockings wrapped around her slender legs, and she stepped on the cement floor with the same color high heels with the "Belle" trademark, making a crisp impact. The people behind Hu Zhejianghai's self-control was obviously not as good as him. They stared at Zheng Xiaoyue's back and kept watching, and many voices were whispering.

"This girl is really hot."

"He is a good beauty. It's a pity that she is not ours, and there are no such beautiful high-end goods in the city. Otherwise, even if I spend all my savings, I will taste her."

"There don't seem to be many of these people from other places. Why don't we go back and discuss and kill all the men and leave women to warm the bed?"

"We can't make decisions about this kind of thing. Let's hear what the boss said first."

Although the sound is very small and not much bigger than the mosquito scream, Liu Tianming still puts everything into his ears with his evolutionary superb hearing.

When Zheng Xiaoyue came back, she had an extra cardboard box in her hand. She walked past other core members of the team in order with the box in her arms. Each of them reached in and took out an apple. There was no verbal order, and there was no need to wink. Everyone opened their mouths and bites the apple. Suddenly, a crisp "click" sound rang out on the scene.

Liu Tianming took an apple handed over by Zheng Xiaoyue, weighed it in his hand, turned to Hu Zhejianghai, and smiled and said, "If I use this exchange, what do you think?"

The source of the apples is of course the Northwest base. Liao Qiu used his superpower to expand the helicopter cargo warehouse several times, and it was no problem to bring dozens of boxes of apples. In addition to the part distributed to the followers last time, there was almost half of the apples left. Because of their preservation, they were very fresh, and the red and yellow on the skin were extremely bright, which was very eye-catching.

Hu Zhehai's eyes twitched slightly and he couldn't help but open his mouth.

This is actually a very normal physiological reaction. When the source of production is completely cut off, many ordinary things in peacetime have now become fantasy images that exist in thinking. For example, Apple, Hu Zhehai can find relevant information about the aroma, taste and taste of this fruit from his memory. Many times he also wants to try it, but the market is empty and there is no longer a scene of hawkers selling on the streets. All concepts about apples may gradually be erased from the memories of this generation. The next generation wants to know what apples are, and they can only see them from books.

"Fifty boxes!"

Hu Zhehai's reaction was quick, and he almost immediately made a decision: "Give me fifty boxes of apples, and I can provide you two trucks of water every day."

Liu Tianming slowly put away the smile on his face. He stared at Hu Zhejianghai for a few seconds and threw the apple in his hand. Hu Zhejianghai hurriedly caught it and heard Liu Tianming's voice that had become cold and hard.

"I don't like dealing with greedy people. You are very greedy. You have said that things are precious because they are rare. Who can come up with an apple in this city? And it's very fresh. I like trading and are willing to trade. But you have to understand that profiteering is an annoying profession. It used to be, but it is still the case now."

Seeing that the transaction might collapse, a hint of shame and anger flashed through Hu Zhehai's eyes. He did not show it on his face at all. He quickly walked forward a few steps and looked very sincere: "No, no, no! I think you misunderstood. Since it is a transaction, you can bargain. I... Actually, this is a common rule in the city. You came from other places and must be not used to some of the practices here... Okay! It's my fault. I should have explained the rules from the beginning, so that everyone will be more likely to communicate."

The coldness on Liu Tianming's face eased a little. He looked at Hu Zhejianghai: "I still have a lot of things to deal with. Just tell me the price! It's best to be the kind that everyone can accept."

After pausing for a moment, Liu Tianming added in a cold tone: "You'd better think clearly before talking about it. This is your last chance. I know there are many gangs in this city. Can you be the only one with your Iron Fist? If your price is not right, I will look for others. I believe other gangs must be interested in this deal. I just need water, and this is not a desert."

Hu Zhehai's expression on his face was a little stiff. Although he was smiling, he looked very embarrassed. The smile seemed to be carved on his face by a knife, completely solidifying.

He really wanted to take advantage of it.

It is actually a normal practice to get benefits from outsiders. But I didn’t expect that Liu Tianming would be so strong.

The people who followed Hu Zhejianghai this time were all elites from the Iron Fist Society. His initial idea was very simple: if you can, you should cheat, and it would be better to get a lot of benefits from this group of people from other places. Regarding the water source and charges, Hu Zhejianghai did not lie. But he said the price he had to pay was very high. In fact, the water trucks did not spend that much money on other gang territory.

If you are not soft, you will be hard. This is the common practice of all scammers when their fraudulent intentions are exposed. Hu Zhejianghai is no exception. He thought that if he had a break from the conversation with Liu Tianming, he would shoot him while he was not careful. But after he got here, he suddenly realized that these outsiders were not only numerous, but also well-equipped, far exceeding several levels.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the heavy machine gun on the roof of the railway station is the best proof.

Yes! Heavy machine gun.

This weapon is amazingly powerful. In addition to the roof, while Hu Zhehai and Liu Tianming were talking, the followers built temporary fortifications at the entrance of the station and set up two other men.

How many heavy machine guns do they have?

For a few seconds, Hu Zhejianghai even had the idea of ​​"that's not a real gun, but a pieced together wood and foam to model it."

These are probably all pre-made fakes, and now they are deliberately brought out to scare people?

Deceiving yourself is one of the nature of human beings. When you see others have good things, you will have similar ideas to anesthetize your brain.

Hu Zhehai quickly abandoned all kinds of unrealistic ideas.

He did not think Liu Tianming was bluffing.

It was very simple. They took out a box of apples, stuttered in front of them without any scruples.

That's an apple, a very fresh apple!
