The Zerg Emperor of the End of the World

Chapter 22 Trading with the Army

Wang Jin had just finished his work when several soldiers hurried over, saluted and said, "Hello, we need to ask you some relevant information, please cooperate."

"Ask." Wang Jin knew that this was normal and could help the army understand the personnel situation in the camp. Every survivor camp of a certain size would do this.

"Name, age, occupation."

After asking, the soldiers wrote down the information they learned in a notebook and turned around to leave, but Wang Jin suddenly said, "Do you have any extra brain cores in your army? If so, I will exchange them with food."

"What do you want to do?" The soldiers were alert.

"Don't worry, I guess you all know that I'm a mutant. I need brain cores to increase my strength. We've run out of brain cores, so I want to ask if your army has any extra ones. If you do, I can exchange them for beef. If not, forget it."

Wang Jin's words made them relax their vigilance. After hearing about beef, several soldiers swallowed their saliva and said, "We can't make the decision on this matter. I'll inform our battalion commander."

"It doesn't matter. I don't need this little time." Wang Jin knew there was something going on when he saw them hesitating.

Maybe there are mutants in the army, but brain cores are not unlimited. Some people have good physiques and can take more every day. For example, Chen Dong can take two every day. Wang Jin gave Chen Dong brain cores every day these days. Now his strength has increased by 20%, reaching 1,200 kilograms of strength, and one brain core increases ten kilograms of strength on average.

The army may have killed many zombies along the way, but they can't summon Zerg like themselves, and they can consume as many brain cores as they want, so there is a great chance of having extra brain cores.

The reason why Wang Jin was so anxious now was for the Hydralisks. If the army had enough brain cores, he would be able to summon the Hydralisks soon.

After the soldiers left, a long queue formed over there. People lined up with their worn-out rice bowls. Lin Shibin observed for a while, ran over and said, "Brother Wang, the army is distributing food."

"Let's go and have a look." Wang Jin said. Everyone was a little curious and followed Wang Jin.

In the center of the dilapidated camp, more than a dozen soldiers carried a large bucket full of porridge to the center of the camp. There were more than 20 soldiers beside them to maintain order to prevent people from cutting in line and snatching food.

Seeing the soldiers carrying porridge, people lined up quickly and walked forward. The soldiers would scoop a spoonful of porridge from the bucket and put it into the rice bowl. The elderly and children could get an extra spoonful of porridge, and the young and middle-aged people could only get one spoonful. After getting the porridge, the survivors thanked them profusely and left. They drank the porridge in two or three mouthfuls, and their faces full of vegetables were briefly satisfied.

He Youxi was curious and took a bowl to line up. Unexpectedly, he came back and cursed: "Damn, is this food for people? It's all water and no rice, how can you eat it!"

Wang Jin looked down and saw that the porridge in the bowl was so clear that you could see the bottom. The rice grains could be counted. There was only a thin layer at the bottom of the bowl. Even children couldn't eat enough, let alone normal people.

"I asked those soldiers, they only had two meals a day, both of which were this kind of porridge like boiled water." He Youxi looked angry, then looked at Wang Jin with a smile on his face: "It's better to get along with Brother Wang, there is food and drink, otherwise I have to eat this kind of porridge, how can I live!"

Everyone nodded in unison, yes! Without Wang Jin, their lives would not be much better than those survivors now. Unlike now, they can not only eat enough but also have meat to eat. At this moment, everyone's recognition of Wang Jin has increased many times.

"They are all poor people!" Li Yue looked at the survivors with some reluctance in her eyes and said faintly.

Wang Jin looked back at her and said, "Now is not the time to be full of sympathy."

"I know, I just feel uncomfortable."

He Xin patted Li Yue's shoulder and comforted her, "Think positively. Before the end of the world, hundreds of people starved to death in Africa every day. We are also living the same life. This is none of your business. You don't need to have any psychological burden."

He Xin obviously thought of herself. If it weren't for Wang Jin, she might have

Thinking of this, He Xin's face turned red and she glanced at Wang Jin, which made Wang Jin puzzled.

Back to the residence, everyone was in a heavy mood. The lack of food caused the survivors to be generally malnourished. Many children were running around in the camp with skinny bodies, and some sick people had empty eyes, waiting for the arrival of the god of death.

There was not much food in the camp, let alone medicine. Hunger and illness have always been the two sick sickles of the god of death in the camp. No one knew who would fall next.

Wang Jin couldn't care so much. He didn't have the ability to help others. Wang Jin didn't think he was a savior, and he didn't want to be a thankless savior.

"What are you thinking about? It's time to eat." He Xin waved her hand in front of Wang Jin's eyes. Wang Jin came back to his senses and said, "I'm really hungry after hearing what you said. Let's try your cooking skills to see if they've improved."

"Humph, if my cooking skills haven't improved, you guys would still be wolfing them down. If they were, you would have swallowed your tongues." He Xin raised her head proudly and said excitedly. He Xin was very confident in her cooking skills and believed that she was no worse than any chef.

"Okay, you're awesome, okay?" Wang Jin smiled and shook his head, walked to the dining table, picked up the rice bowl and started eating. Today, there was his favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, and Wang Jin had a big appetite. He ate three bowls of rice in the blink of an eye.

While Wang Jin and his friends were eating, Jia Ding, who was on guard on the dump truck, suddenly looked down and said, "Brother Wang, there are many survivors outside."

Wang Jin looked up and saw that there were indeed many survivors surrounding Wang Jin, staring at the food in Wang Jin and others' hands without blinking, and his brows could not help but frown. These people should have been attracted by the smell of food. If they had known earlier, they would have kept a low profile and eaten in the car.

Seeing these survivors getting closer and closer, He Youxi snorted angrily and said, "Brother Wang, I'll go drive them away."

Wang Jin nodded, and He Youxi stood up and was about to drive them away, but several soldiers suddenly came over and dispersed these survivors. The deterrent power of the soldiers was still very strong. These survivors did not dare to disobey, and left reluctantly looking at the food in Wang Jin and others' hands.

After dispersing the survivors, a soldier came over. Seeing the rich food of Wang Jin and others, his eyes were a little eager, but the self-discipline of the soldier made him not look at it for a long time. He said to Wang Jin: "Mr. Wang, our battalion commander invites you to come over."

Wang Jin was delighted, knowing that the brain core issue should have a result. He did not care about eating at the moment. He said something to Li Yue and others and hurriedly followed the soldier.

Not long after following the soldier, Wang Jin came to a dense group of military tents. This should be the place where the army rests and stores supplies. There are a large number of soldiers patrolling and standing guard. Some places that look like warehouses have set up heavy machine guns. The whole military camp is busy but not chaotic, and the security is strict.

In a clean tent behind the military camp, Wang Jin met the battalion commander Xu Gang whom he had met before.

When Wang Jin saw him, he was talking to several soldiers. When he saw Wang Jin coming, he smiled and greeted: "Mr. Wang is here, please sit down!"

"Captain Xu, you don't need to be polite. This is not the first time we meet." Wang Jin bowed and sat on a chair beside him.

Xu Gang gave the soldiers a few instructions. The soldiers saluted, looked at Wang Jin strangely, and filed out.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a good battalion commander. I have a lot of things to do. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality." Xu Gang moved a chair, poured a cup of tea for Wang Jin, and sat opposite Wang Jin.

"No, no, Wang came here to ask for something. I should be forgiven. I guess I have to trouble Captain Xu this time."

"What trouble? You are a civilian and I am a soldier. Mutual assistance between the military and the people is a must." After Xu Gang said this, Wang Jin knew that the matter was mostly settled. This transaction should be a win-win for both parties, and they should get the materials they need. When trading with an armed organization like the army, Wang Jin's own strength is also a very important aspect. He is not afraid that the army will dare to cheat.

"Thank you, Captain Xu. If this transaction is successful, Wang will never let Captain Xu suffer." Wang Jin was impatient with the polite words. This is the way of getting along with guests in China. It is rare to get straight to the point.

When Xu Gang heard Wang Jin's words, he showed a hint of joy on his face and complained: "To be honest, the food in the camp is very tight now. Mr. Wang must have known something about it. Even the food my soldiers eat is not much different from that of the survivors.

It's hard for me to be the battalion commander! The government has given me the responsibility of protecting the people, but I can't fulfill my responsibility. I am really ashamed of the people, the government, and the country's hopes!"

Wang Jin listened and said nothing, but cursed in his heart, pretending to be pitiful and playing the family card here, no way! Before, when I saw Xu Gang's upright face, I thought he was the upright, rigid and stiff person in the movie. Now I find out that I was wrong. It turns out that this guy is a hypocritical person.

Seeing Wang Jin's expressionless face, his eyes looking at his nose, his nose looking at his heart, and his indifferent look, Xu Gang knew that the self-torture trick had failed. His face straightened and he said righteously: "But our country's army has always had an excellent tradition of not taking a single needle or a penny from the people. Our army has only one mutant, and the brain cores are not consumed much. Excluding the spare ones, there are still 1,500 left. We won't take advantage of the people, just one brain core for two kilograms of beef."

"Poof!"

When Wang Jin heard the price, he sprayed out the water he had drunk halfway. Damn it! This is not taking advantage of the people? How can you take advantage of others! You can't even say that. You can exchange rice for this price, but for beef, you might as well just rob it.

Wang Jin now has only one evaluation of Xu Gang!

Black!

It's really too black! Compared with him, I can't catch up!

Wang Jin stopped drinking tea and said with a forced smile: "It's a nice day today! It's windy and rainy. Oh! Look at my memory. I forgot to collect the clothes at home. No, I have to go back to collect the clothes. If they get wet, I will have nothing to wear." Wang Jin stood up and pretended to leave. If you want to rip me off, wait for the next life.

"Can we talk about it slowly if the price is not right? Don't leave in a hurry. It's just clothes. I'll send someone to help you collect them." Xu Gang also knew that the price was suspected of being a rip-off. Seeing Wang Jin was about to leave, he quickly stood up and held Wang Jin, and said to the outside of the door: "Guards, go and help Mr. Wang collect his clothes. Don't let him get wet in the rain."

"Ah! Collect, collect, collect clothes!" The guard looked up at the sunny sky, and then at the serious battalion commander, and was stunned!

"Captain Xu, this price is too high, you don't know! In order to kill this mutant cow, hundreds of brothers died, tens of thousands of ammunition wasted, and even my right hand was broken. Look, it's not working properly now."

Isn't it just bragging? I can do it too, no matter whether it is true or false, I will exaggerate it, otherwise how can I lower the price later.

Xu Gang looked at Wang Jin's right hand drinking water freely, his face did not change, but he cursed the little fox in his heart. He had already learned from Yan Manyi about Wang Jin's killing of mutant cows. There were hundreds of deaths and injuries? Consumed tens of thousands of ammunition? You are deceiving a three-year-old child.

Wang Jin naturally knew that Xu Gang was not so easy to deceive, and he didn't waste his breath. Anyway, his goal was achieved. Whether you believe it or not, as long as you know that my beef is hard-earned, the cost is very high, and you can't buy it at a bargain price, it's fine.

"For the sake of our military-civilian family, I will give your army a 50% discount. One pound of beef for three brain cores. This is already the cost price. If it weren't for the army, I would never do this loss-making business." Wang Jin drank tea slowly and quoted a price casually.

Now it was Xu Gang's turn to sit still. This price was too damned harsh, and it was a 50% discount. If there was no discount, the whole army couldn't buy a few pounds even if they sold everything they had!

Xu Gang naturally wouldn't agree to this price. Wang Jin also knew that this price was too high, so the two of them had another verbal battle, from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon to night. Finally, under the splashing of saliva at the table, this half-day negotiation, known as the "2017 Wang Xu Grain Exchange Agreement", officially came to an end.

Wang Jin exchanged 1,000 kilograms of beef for Xu Gang's 1,500 brain cores, plus five rifles and three pistols with a total of 1,000 bullets, and finally a Hummer given by Xu Gang as a friendly gift.

In general, both parties were happy, but Wang Jin kept talking about it until the end, saying that it was because the two sides had a 50% discount on the first transaction, which made Xu Gang's face turn pale.

Wang Jin laughed secretly, old fox, let's see if you dare to kill me!
