Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 275 Living Underground

"You said, there is no such coinage technology here?"

This problem got bigger, as if you knew this was the tomb of an ancient royal family, so you started digging excitedly. After almost turning the entire mountain over and entering the inside of the tomb, someone suddenly jumped out and told you,

In fact, what is buried in this royal mausoleum is just a member of the royal family who was ruined and had no wealth.

So you clearly understand that your dream of owning gold and silver antiques has come to nothing.

Zhou Yuanqiang's current situation is like this. After expending so much effort and taking great risks, he finally arrived here. He saw something within easy reach, but was told that there is nothing here that you want. This kind of thing happened in an instant.

The blow is like a thunderbolt, which will definitely make you want to die.

Facing Zhou Yuanqiang, whose beautiful face turned pale, ahem, it should be said that his face turned ugly. Fortunately, the light in the basement was very dark, otherwise the two of them would probably be depressed.

Li Xiaomo didn't notice anything wrong and said seriously: "Of course not. Think about it, almost every major city in the country has mints and banknote printing companies. If they all master the technology of printing banknotes, what do you think?"

Is it possible to keep the secret of currency? The world is crazy. As long as there is more than 300% interest, a lot of people will rush over even if they know it is death."

When talking about this, Li Xiaomo seemed to have found someone to talk to. "Generally speaking, mints and banknote printing companies will only start printing after getting authorization. Like technology,

Generally, it will not be handed over directly, but will be passed on through a special channel..."

"stop……"

Zhou Yuanqiang faced the chattering Li Xiaomo and shouted.

Immediately, the word "stop" was constantly being passed back and forth in the underground floor of the negative two floor. The echo generated made Zhou Yuanqiang's "stop" word become like the lion skill, which was deafening and almost made people collapse.

On the ground. In fact, the two of them, Li Xiaomo and Dai Lili, who were caught unawares, fell limply to the ground, which was almost as good as they were.

Zhou Yuanqiang did not feel guilty or anything, but patted Li Xiaomo's shoulder affectionately, and said in the voice of the Big Bad Wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood: "I heard that you are from the central bank to guide the research and development of technology here? This means that you will

What’s this coin-making technology?”

Li Xiaomo was startled by this sudden intimacy and said, "I'm telling you, I have someone I like, and that's Lily next to me. Don't play gay with me, I don't like this."

He said to Dai Lili with a show of loyalty: "Lily, my loyalty to you can definitely be measured by the sun and the moon."

"My day!"

After Zhou Yuanqiang was speechless, he could only utter this classic curse. With his sharp eyesight, he could still see Li Xiaomo's flattering face. "This kid has been a genius since he was a child. It should be said that in terms of emotional intelligence, he should be an idiot."

That’s right, how come you are so good at picking up girls... This is the law of genius, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Zhou Yuanqiang, who had no choice but to use his trump card, sneered and said, "Xiao Mo, Lily, let's discuss something."

Li Xiaomo seemed a little indifferent and said: "Come on, Lily, we'd better go back quickly. It rains every now and then in this damn weather, and the road is getting worse and worse. If it rains heavily, the sewers won't be able to be used."

After a few minutes of walking, I finally made my way to an inconspicuous corner of a basement on the second floor.

Li Xiaomo, on the other hand, pushed a small counter open with ease and opened a small iron door inside. Suddenly, the sound of running water and dripping water came, and a strange smell with thick moisture rushed out from here.

came out. But the smell that made Zhou Yuanqiang frown had no effect on Li Xiaomo and Dai Lili. Instead, they went straight into the small iron door.

"Damn it, Xiao Mo, you must have lied to me about the helicopter. I think you wanted to trick me into coming here to help you masturbate, right? You bastard..."

The fierce curse words made Li Xiaomo feel embarrassed. He stepped on the edge of the sewer and said: "I really saw it. If I really want to lie to you, I will not lie to you to come to such a dangerous place."

Right? I still want to live a few more years."

Zhou Yuanqiang thought for a while, and then slid down into the sewer with them. The smell suddenly became stronger, and there was water under his feet. When he entered the sewer, there was water dripping down drop by drop, hitting his hair and clothes.

, making Zhou Yuanqiang very uncomfortable.

When Li Xiaomo saw Zhou Yuanqiang coming down, he closed the small iron door and said: "It's very quiet here, the water vapor is very heavy, and the torch can't be used, so follow me closely, be careful not to get lost, you just wait here."

Starve to death." After saying that, he directly took Dai Lili's hand and moved forward, but Dai Lili seemed to have no objection this time because she was not familiar with this place.

Zhou Yuanqiang finally learned a trick from Li Xiaomo, at least when there is no other way, he can get stuck openly.

But... Zhou Yuanqiang smiled evilly and took out his flashlight from the storage space. Undoubtedly, a beam of snow-white light appeared and suddenly stopped in the sewer where he could barely see his fingers when he reached out. Poor.

Li Xiaomo and Dai Lili were once again frightened by the beauty and fell directly into the sewer river, becoming real drowned rats.

But when Li Xiaomo fell into the water and struggled to climb up to the side of the sewer, he did not blame Zhou Yuanqiang, but opened his eyes wide and said: "You...where did you get this flashlight? Damn, you have it."

Why didn't you take this thing out earlier? I'm worried that I might go the wrong way later."

Seeing what Li Xiaomo said, Zhou Yuanqiang had to bring up the old matter again. He said, "Didn't you want to find a helicopter before?"

Li Xiaomo said: "So what?"

Zhou Yuanqiang gestured and said, "Don't you notice any difference between you and me? Think about our previous encounters. With your IQ, it shouldn't be difficult to connect, right?"

After being reminded by Zhou Yuanqiang, Li Xiaomo finally faced up to this problem. He thought about it carefully, suddenly slapped his head, pointed at Zhou Yuanqiang and said: "I was saying before that only I know this passage, and it's a blinding light."

, how could you show up with him?" He suddenly became excited and said: "I really saw it right, you... you are the one who came here in a helicopter? Isn't it, isn't it?"

Even Dai Lili, who was standing next to her, opened her eyes wide and lightly covered her mouth.

Zhou Yuanqiang admitted generously and said: "That's right, the helicopter you saw before was indeed me. The thing I wanted to discuss with you just now is the same. Let me just say it if I have something to say.

The reason why you are here is because of the coinage technology, and you, Li Xiaomo, master this technology. Since we both need each other's things, why not exchange them. I can take you two out of Chengchuan City, and you

To work for me is to hand over all the skills in coinage technology."

At this moment, Li Xiaomo, who had just been picking up girls like a gangster, narrowed his eyes, showing a genius's vision, and said: "I'm very strange, why do you need this coin-making technology in this apocalypse? If you change it before, you can just rely on it.

If you change your words, you will be jailed for the rest of your life."

"hehe……"

Zhou Yuanqiang laughed. When it comes to shrewdness, maybe he is far from his opponent, but now that he is in a certain high position, what is there that he has not seen? The so-called asking for a high price is the same as paying back the money on the ground. It seems that Li Xiaomo is not only

He was satisfied that he could only take away two of them. "A helicopter can only carry ten people away at most. That's all I can guarantee."

Who knew that Li Xiaomo shook his head and said: "No, you underestimate my IQ. Since you have the ability to come here, you will definitely have the ability to leave with more people. The key is, are you willing?"

Do me a favor." He also understood how many zombies there were in the city. He said: "We don't have many people, only more than 800 people. As long as you can bring everyone to where you are, I, Li Xiaomo,

I’ll leave these hundred pounds of meat to you.”

In fact, this condition is not considered harsh. More than 800 people are nothing to Zhou Yuanqiang. As long as the Hercules transport airship is brought over, they can be taken away in one go.

Of course, Hercules' goal is too big, and it will probably alarm the zombies in the entire city.

Zhou Yuanqiang thought for a while and said: "This problem won't be big, but I want to see where you live first, otherwise I won't be able to make a decision. You also know that the population of Chengchuan City is 13 million, so

There is no way for us to predict what kind of terrifying alienated zombies will emerge from too many zombies. I don’t want my people to take risks, you understand?”

With Zhou Yuanqiang's ability, there is no need to negotiate terms with Li Xiaomo at all. A swordsman can solve them and then bring them back to the chamber of commerce. With Xu Yuhai as the intelligence chief, his methods will definitely make them want to.

He was so immortal that he obediently told all the secrets clearly.

The reason why Zhou Yuanqiang agreed to this somewhat ridiculous condition was simply because he was curious about how these three hundred people survived in this city.

With the consensus reached, Li Xiaomo took Zhou Yuanqiang's flashlight and led the way. With the light, he was indeed walking very fast. Li Xiaomo solved the problem and said: "In the past six years, there has been no artificial domestic water in the sewers. After several years of rain erosion,

The odor has long been gone, and the sludge has been washed away. Now is the rainy season in winter, and there is more water in the sewers. If it comes to summer and autumn, the sewers will be very dry. We live here, mainly in summer and autumn.

Move around, try to find food, while winter and spring stay in the shelter of our lives.”

Zhou Yuanqiang asked: "The food must have been seriously damaged in the past few years, what do you feed on?"

Li Xiaomo explained: "The shelter where we live has enough food and water for 10,000 people to live for a year and a half. Now 800 of us consume it, plus what we usually harvest when we go out, it is enough for us to live safely until now. But you

What you said is correct, there are fewer and fewer places to find food outside, and a lot of food has spoiled no matter how well packaged it is."

The sewers are very complicated, and sometimes there are several intersections, but Li Xiaomo has marked them all, so there is no need to worry about going in the wrong direction.

"In the past six years, the only place where we can move is the sewer. But we don't have a blueprint, so we can only rely on making marks and slowly exploring to expand our activity area. Through the sewer, we can actually reach many areas.

Place. But the location of sewers is usually under the streets. There are so many zombies above that we have no way to get up there. Only in very few places will they appear next to high-rise buildings or basements."

The shelter is a bit far away from here, otherwise it wouldn't have taken them so long to get here after discovering the helicopter.

After turning many corners, Li Xiaomo finally arrived and took the lead in drilling into a huge pipe in the sewer. After climbing the pipe, he appeared in an underground dry pool.

"who?"

There was a loud shout, and soon several people gathered around, with several guns pointed at the bottom of the pool. However, after seeing that the person who came out was not a zombie, but Li Xiaomo, those people breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them cursed: "Li Xiaomo

, you are so brave, you even dare to steal my gun?" This man should be the old man Zhao mentioned by Li Xiaomo.

"Ah, Old Man Zhao!" Li Xiaomo came out, shook his wet clothes, shook the flashlight in his hand, and said proudly: "Don't fight yet, I have some good news to tell you."

Unexpectedly, the people next to him burst into laughter, "Xiao Mo, what good news can you have? You just want to tell us that you successfully caught up with Lily, right?" There are many similar words. It can be seen that Li Xiaomo's status here is usually...

It should be like a pistachio, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people laughing so kindly.

Li Xiaomo smiled helplessly and said, "I think this is the news, but the problem is that Lily hasn't agreed to my pursuit yet."

With the appearance of Zhou Yuanqiang, a complete stranger, everyone began to realize that Li Xiaomo was not joking just now, but what was the good news he said? Could it be that someone came to rescue them and others from this prison? You must know that after six years of living here,

Years, this is basically the same as six years in prison, even more painful than being in prison.

The man Li Xiaomo called Old Man Zhao excitedly grabbed Li Xiaomo's collar and said, "What is the good news you are talking about? Tell me quickly!"

The people here have long given up on the outside world. From the first year, they hoped that the surviving people would remember them and rescue them. But they waited for a year, and their expectations turned into disappointment. And in the second year

Years passed, and their disappointment turned to despair... By the fourth year, they had given up completely, and no one mentioned leaving here again, because it was a taboo.

But it is obvious that we are desperate, but in this cage-like shelter, there is nothing to do except eat, drink and sleep. Inevitably, everyone is dreaming of leaving here, although no one says this idea.

But everyone knows what everyone is thinking.

Now it is the sixth year of the apocalypse, and they have no idea what the outside world is like. They are like birds trapped here, knowing nothing.

Especially as the food is about to be used up, panic begins to spread here. No one knows what will happen after the food is eaten. Maybe everyone will starve to death here, maybe everyone will use their courage and fight to save the food.

I want to find a way to escape even if I don't want to die? But what can I do to escape? This is a densely populated area of ​​Chengcheon City, and the streets are full of zombies.

In the early days, manpower was organized to open up the sewers and escape, but there were also zombies in the sewers, and the manpower was destroyed several times, which made the desire to continue trying fade away. No one wanted to go on and die.

The originally desperate heart suddenly saw an outsider come in. What did this mean? It meant that they had the opportunity to leave here. Facing the news that they had been waiting for six years, who would not be excited? The hope that was born in that moment made

Everyone started talking incoherently. Zhou Yuanqiang even thought maliciously, if he told them that he was also trapped here, would they collectively faint and go into shock from riding the roller coaster?

To be honest, no matter how good the ventilation system of the shelter is, the smell it has produced over the past six years is so special that it makes people feel like vomiting.

Maybe the people living here are used to this smell, but for Zhou Yuanqiang, it was like being hit by a stink bomb.

This pool is inside the shelter. Of course, when it was designed, it was used as a purification pool. Unexpectedly, it gave the people here a passage to the outside world. Like the door of the shelter, it was always closed.

It has not been opened in six years. It's not that they don't want to, but they don't dare. There are so many zombies outside.

In order to survive, the people in the shelter live very carefully, trying not to let the zombies outside know that there are people living here. Don't forget that the existence of giant zombies, the door in the shelter cannot stop them. This kind of fearful

Life can be very tiring. Living in it, you are afraid of making a loud enough noise and causing disaster.

The entire hall of the shelter is very chaotic, followed by densely packed small rooms, which should be where they live.

The existence of this sewer outlet makes them slightly richer in materials. At least in terms of clothing and use, they can get it from some houses in the outside world. There is no rags and rags like in other settlements in the last days.

Facing Old Man Zhao's questioning and the countless hot looks that had gathered around him after hearing the news, Li Xiaomo knew that if he couldn't tell a reason, they would have to tear him alive. But it didn't matter, Li Xiaomo believed in them.

When I learned this news, I would definitely be crazy with joy, because this is indeed great news.
