Chapter 6 The man who lost his hands
Three days later, that is, the beginning of the month, it will be the trading day once a month again.
Although the camp has already set up a special crystal purchase office, people are still accustomed to gathering in the north square of the camp to conduct crystal transactions on this day of the month.
Not only between individuals, but also governments also appear, and trade with the most precious food.
Every day, the logistics department is busiest, they are responsible for registering and sorting out food coupons.
People holding food coupons can collect food from the granary in the camp based on their registered identity.
A first-level crystal can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of grain. As for vegetables, they can only be exchanged for five kilograms. No one will be willing to exchange crystals for vegetables.
Because not every alien beast has crystals. If you hunt a alien beast to obtain crystals, strength is one aspect, while luck accounts for a larger part.
Exchange grain, eat enough, go out to hunt, obtain crystals, and conduct the next transaction so that you can continue to survive.
Unless you get a lot of crystals at one time, you can exchange a few kilograms of vegetables and try them out.
Most of them eat some vitamin C to maintain vitamin needs.
Early in the morning, the old and young people from the Logistics Department, the older girls and wives, all appeared neatly in the North Square of the camp.
Although I was trembling with the wind when I was blown by the wind, the crowds of people came and went in the square were very lively.
Looking at the people coming and going, Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh that he was one of them a month ago, but now he has transformed himself into a member of the Logistics Department.
"Three first-level crystals, I want to exchange for three hundred kilograms of grain."
When Jiang Xiaofan heard someone exchanged it, he hurriedly put on gloves to verify the authenticity of the crystal zombies, while Wang Yu, who was beside him, was responsible for spending food coupons.
The man looked at the food coupons, nodded, thanked and left.
As time went by, the square became more and more lively, and there was a long queue in front of Jiang Xiaofan's table. Although Wang Yu helped, he still seemed a little busy.
"Next."
Jiang Xiaofan just shouted.
"Bang"
A bag of crystals was thrown on the table, shocking Jiang Xiaofan, who was lowering his head to sort out the crystals.
What's this attitude? Just when Jiang Xiaofan was about to get angry, the other party spoke.
"Twelve first-level crystals exchanged for grain."
Jiang Xiaofan, who originally planned to criticize, closed his mouth tactfully. Ordinary people cannot get so many crystals.
While checking Jingyuan, Jiang Xiaofan muttered: "What's so great? I could have made a lot of it at the beginning."
Hearing Jiang Xiaofan's words, the man frowned slightly and said nothing.
"Brother Wang, give him 1,200 kilograms of food coupons."
When he saw Wang Yu take out a food coupon worth 1,000 kilograms, the man spoke.
"Don't, change it to one hundred kilograms."
It can be heard from the sound that the other person is very tired.
Wang Yu's hand reached into the air and froze.
"Are you Ye Laosan?"
Hearing Wang Yu's inquiry, the man nodded and said nothing.
Ye Laosan!
Jiang Xiaofan looked up at the man in front of him. His clothes were worn out, his body was covered with scars and bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
This is Ye Laosan! How could the leader of the mercenary gang who was full of energy become like this?
Jiang Xiaofan grew up and his mouth grew.
There is basically no one who doesn’t know Ye Laosan’s in this camp at her feet.
Two months ago, the strange beast did not know what crazy it was and suddenly attacked the human camp.
Ye Laosan participated in the battle to defend the city. All eleven brothers in his mercenary group died to defend the city, and he himself was seriously injured.
That time, Jiang Xiaofan, the captain of the military, won the title of combat hero, and he probably only received one verbal reward.
After that, he alone took on the family expenses of the eleven dead brothers.
If you want to survive, you need food.
The strange beasts in the nearby forests were almost eliminated, so he went deep into the forest to hunt the strange beasts. If it didn't work, he went deeper to get more crystals to exchange for food and meet the needs.
It is said that no one has seen him come back from the forest completely, and he is injured every time.
Ye Laosan is one of the few men Jiang Xiaofan respects, although the two have never met before.
Jiang Xiaofan hurriedly stood up, stretched out his right hand, intending to shake hands with the person he respected.
However, the other party stretched out his right arm from his wide cuffs, but he saw that the arm, originally the place where the hand was, was wrapped around the bandages, and the hand was gone.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofan suddenly felt a twitch. He looked at the white gloves he wore for identifying crystals, which were extremely dazzling.
He quickly took off his gloves and stretched out his left hand. Ye Laosan was hesitant and showed a trace of despair on his face. He slowly raised his other arm, and the hand on it was gone.
There is only a bandage that is still seeping blood.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofan was stunned and at a loss for a moment. After his mind was blank for a few seconds.
Jiang Xiaofan was upright and saluted.
Such a person deserves a military salute.
"Brother Wang, give him another fifty kilograms of vegetables and remember them on my head."
Wang Yu was stunned, rubbed his red eyes, silently took out fifty kilograms of vegetable tickets, and stuffed them into Ye Laosan's top pocket.
Ye Laosan did not refuse and turned around to leave.
"Brother Ye, my name is Jiang Xiaofan. If you believe me, come to the research institute to find me. I can find you an errand."
Ye Laosan stopped, thought for a moment, nodded, and then limped away.
Seeing Jiang Xiaofan still looking at the direction of the other party leaving, Wang Yu pushed Jiang Xiaofan.
"Fanzi, don't think about it. Let's share the fifty kilograms of vegetable tickets together. If you can help you in the future, you can help you a little."
In the gathering place, many people die every day, and there are many orphans and widows left behind. Everyone is relieved, which is not realistic.
However, for those who have given their lives to this human camp, they are different, and they deserve everyone's respect.
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Jiang Xiaofan shook his head.
"Brother Wang, this is what I promised, so I will bear it. Why do you have the nerve to implicate Brother Wang?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Wang Yu roar.
"You fart, you fucking look down on your Brother Wang so much. Although I have never gone out to fight with strange beasts, such a kind and righteous person deserves everyone's respect. Otherwise, what's the difference between your Brother Wang and the beasts outside!"
Wang Yu's roar scared Jiang Xiaofan. This was the first time Jiang Xiaofan saw this angry. In the past, he always had a smile on his face, elegant and easy-going, but he didn't expect that he would get angry about this incident this time.
Jiang Xiaofan thought for a while and nodded.
Ye Laosan left, and the only thing that proved that he had been here might be the few drops of blood on the ground that had been blackened.
The lively square actually gave Jiang Xiaofan a sense of desolation.
These people can talk and laugh today, and maybe some of them will disappear today next month.
Because Jiang Xiaofan was carrying a task, it was not convenient for him to leave, so he planned to go to Ye Laosan to talk to him in person after the exchange day.
With my accumulation over the past few years, it would be fine if I support more than a dozen people.
Due to Ye Laosan's affairs, Jiang Xiaofan seemed absent-minded in the entire exchange process.
At the end of the trading day, the two went to the logistics department to check the bill. Of course, Jiang Xiaofan and Wang Yu jointly bear the 50 kilograms of vegetable tickets.
As soon as the reconciliation was over, Jiang Xiaofan left the logistics department and asked about Ye Laosan's whereabouts.
