Chapter 9 Meeting the World in the Outer City

Speaking of the central market, the monkeys are even more energetic.

The fringe area is in the outermost layer of the wasteland world and has no resources. In addition to relying on government subsidies, they have to go to the outer cities to work.

The central market always has some low -profile transactions, allowing them to occasionally take advantage of the loopholes to earn some soft currency to buy food.

There is an exclusive bus from the edge area to the outer city area, and the fare is very cheap. The two people only have 0.2 yuan in soft coins. Jiang Ci converted it, which is about the same as two yuan in the previous life.

Unlike the people in the fringe area who live in unfinished buildings, the outer city area is like an underdeveloped county. Although it gives people a decadent feeling, people come and go, there is a normal order of life, and the appearance and spirit are better than those in the fringe area. Some.

After getting off the car, Monkey led the way. He was from the outer city and wanted to show off to Jiang Ci . However, he turned to look at Jiang Ci. His expression was calm and he felt that whatever he said was unnecessary.

Is he really only seventeen or eighteen? Monkey muttered.

All items are sold in the central market, which is a government-designated sales channel.

Ordinary people cannot grow plants, so the government will sell the plants and vegetables grown by the Agricultural Science Center Research Institute. However, the prices are generally high, and except for a small number of wealthy people, ordinary people cannot afford them.

The market has people with special abilities patrolling the market regularly to protect the normal operation of the market, perhaps to give the people at the bottom a chance to make a living.

Jiang Ci looked at the guide sign outside the gate. The first floor was for fruits and vegetables, the second floor was for department stores and daily necessities, and the third floor was for special items such as medicines and knives.

Jiang Ci told the monkey to sell the wine he picked up, so the monkey took Jiang Ci all the way to the back of the market, and then down the back door of the market to the basement.

It was bustling with people and there were several stalls scattered around.

Jiang Ci frowned , this must be the underground trading place that the gangsters mentioned in the morning.

When we arrived at the innermost room, there was a man in a suit sitting behind the table.

"Boss Cheng is busy. I'm here to do some business for you."

Boss Cheng raised his eyelids and glanced at the two of them. Jiang Ci took the wine out of the bag and asked directly, "How much?"

The white glass bottle was placed directly on the table. Boss Cheng looked at it and said, "Although it is not a good wine, it is better because of its vintage. Let's do this. For the sake of this first transaction, I will give you five thousand yuan. If there is good product next time, I can come again." Find me."

Jiang Ci didn't quite understand the prices of things in this world, so the monkey lowered his head and muttered, "The price is pretty good."

"Deal!" Jiang Ci nodded and asked directly, "Does Boss Cheng have a source of pistols?"

The monkey was startled and looked directly at Jiang Ci. Boss Cheng grinned and said, "This thing is not easy to handle. Central City is very tightly controlled, and ordinary weapons cannot deal with strange beasts..."

"Just regular ones!"

At present, it seems that humans are scarier than alien beasts.

Boss Cheng stopped laughing and said, "You can do it, little brother. Let's do it this way. Since you are young, I will give you a handful for 8,000 yuan. If you pay in full, come and pick up the goods the day after tomorrow."

Monkey gestured with his fingers. He could sell ten of them for less than 8,000 yuan.

Jiang Ci thought for a while, "Okay, I'll pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the rest when I come to pick up the goods the next day. If I don't come, you won't suffer any loss if you make four thousand."

The monkey opened his mouth wide and wanted to say, brother, do you have money? ? ?

Boss Cheng saw Jiang Ci's shrewd calculation and finally nodded with a smile.

Only one thousand was left of the five thousand.

When he went out, he attracted a lot of people's attention. When he was about to leave the underground trading place, Jiang Ci slowed down and reached out to touch his lower back. The white denim shirt stuck to his lower back, revealing the outline of a pistol on his back. In an instant, fewer eyes were looking at him.

The monkey turned around, Jiang Ci smiled slightly, put his hand down again, pulled down the corner of his clothes to cover the wooden stick model inside.

Jiang Ci went to the market on the first floor again and walked around from inside to outside. The prices of vegetables were indeed outrageous.

A cabbage with abnormal growth, small size and yellow leaves sells for up to 600 yuan, while a spinach with only three or four leaves costs 800 yuan. On the contrary, the price of chili pepper and other seasonings is lower. Some, but also five hundred yuan.

The monkey had long been accustomed to the prices in the market, but at this moment he regretted it again and had eaten a sky-high price lunch.

Jiang Ci finally stood in front of a stall selling seeds.

Vegetable seeds range from one hundred to two hundred yuan.

This price is obviously much more acceptable.

Jiang Ci spent 800 yuan to buy several different types of vegetable seeds, including lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, pumpkins, peas, etc., as well as an apple core.

The six seeds were packed in a transparent plastic bag, and together they were no bigger than a fingernail. The monkey wanted to persuade Jiang Ci that except for people from the research institute, it was difficult for ordinary people to grow plants. It was a waste of money for him.

But seeing how happy Jiang Ci was, the monkey swallowed his words again.

In order to cover up the growth of plants, Jiang Ci had no choice but to buy earthen pots. Since most people couldn't grow plants, six tools, earthen pots and the like were very cheap, costing only fifty soft coins in total.

With two hundred soft coins left, looking at the window selling compressed meat in front of him, Jiang Ci hesitated whether to buy himself some clothes or meat.

In the window of the compressed meat, there were pieces of meat that could not be seen as the original animal was sealed in a vacuum bag. The color was weird and unappetizing.

So I decided without hesitation to use the remaining money to buy clothes.

But the clothes are not cheap. While Jiang Ci was looking at the clothes, Monkey decided to go to the first floor to see if there were any job postings. Jiang Ci had helped him a lot, so he should work hard to make money and not hold him back. He even subconsciously wanted to change Jiang Ci. He quickly ran away without knowing how to obtain supplies.

Jiang Ci's remaining money bought a pair of black short-sleeved shirts and overalls.

I still sold the pants and shirts that were already short to my ankles to the landlady at a discount, so that I could barely pay for the clothes.

Ever since the sun was shrouded, all the plants withered, and alien beasts were rampant, the landlady had never seen anyone with such an iconic appearance. Everyone was gray, tense, and had a sallow complexion.

When she saw Jiang Ci, the landlady almost stopped to help him change his clothes.

Perhaps it was due to his aura, but after putting on clean and neat clothes, his youthful spirit became less energetic, and he became more composed with a sense of lazy dignity.

"Oh, if it were that time in the past, you would definitely be a big star. If not, I could ask you to be a spokesperson."

The landlady joked while giving Jiang Ci another mask.

Jiang Ci smiled politely in front of the boss's wife. Seeing that the monkey hadn't come back yet, he asked the boss's wife to tell the monkey and let him go back first.

The final hidden danger is that the person who knows the secret of his blood, Jiang Ming’s father, is still there.

Once Jiang Ming dies, as long as his father gets the news, Jiang Ci will immediately be in danger.

When Jiang Ci went downstairs , he glanced at the recruitment notice a few times and stepped forward to take a look out of curiosity.

'Protective barrier cleaner'

'Body Carrier'

'animal slaughterhouse'

....

I felt sorry for the monkey.

Jiang Ci inquired about the bus to Central City, he looked at the sky and got on the bus.

0.1 soft coins.

There is a security check between the outer city and the central city, and everyone who enters must swipe their identity plate before entering.
