Chapter 885 Gasoline Trading
The base station that Luo Yuan and his party mentioned really stood in a desert.
In the distance, neat rows of drilling rigs came into view of the family.
"There are a lot of people in there"
Mao Qiqi counted it again and found that there were more than 200 people inside, but most of them were incompetent.
"There are no zombies here."
Lin Cheng also said that, unlike the many zombies in H province, there was not a single zombie in the vicinity for several miles.
It was only after the whole family got out of the car and learned about the situation that they found out that the survivors here were also local drilling workers. Zhao Nian and the others came here later.
"We are responsible for protecting them and use the oil here to go out in exchange for supplies to bring back. Although there are occasional small frictions, it is still reasonable."
Zhao Nian walked with his family next to several rows of wells and said.
"Even if you can mine oil now, you still need to reprocess it to refine it into gasoline, right? Are there still conditions?"
Lu Guanhai asked curiously.
"It can be done in the catalytic factory over there. It is located in a remote place, and wind and solar power generation are also leveraged."
Luo Yuan pointed to a small factory not far away and said that there is electricity here as one of the reasons why they would stay.
"It turns out that it doesn't look like it's fit for survival, but it actually has so many benefits"
Lu Guanhai understood.
While the group followed to visit, the survivors inside were watching a few people, and many people followed them curiously and listened to their conversation.
Until the group was brought into a conference room, the window was still surrounded by onlookers.
"Since we are all here, Captain Zhao, let's make a price"
Lu Hao said directly.
Zhao Nian seemed to be a little concerned about the onlookers outside, and waved a metal barrier to block the sight of outsiders.
"What can you exchange for goods?"
Zhao Nian asked.
"There are still some grains, rice or flour, and the price is calculated according to the kilogram. Let's make a price."
Su Jin said.
Zhao Nian looked at the unremarkable Zhang Xiaohong and nodded, and after discussing with Luo Yuan and the others, he gave the price: one pound of grain is exchanged for five liters of gasoline, which is equivalent to one pound of grain for ten pounds of gasoline.
After all, in the apocalypse, food is much more important than gasoline, and they don't have much confidence in the face of dragons running the world now.
"Okay, for the oil tank just now, we plan to buy five tanks first. Do you have any problems?"
Su Jin asked.
"Miss Zhang, the capacity of one can is 1000L, are you sure you want five cans?!"
Luo Yuan asked in shock, five cans of oil is equivalent to a full 1,000 catties of grain!
"It's certain if it's there"
Lu Hao also confirmed.
"make a deal!"
Zhao Nian clapped the table and said, "We must make a deal. 1,000 catties of grain is simply an astronomical figure for them.
The others behind Luo Yuan also had expressions of surprise. What kind of luck did they have today.
However, when the transaction between the two parties was confirmed and Zhao Nian was about to take Longxingtian to the warehouse to pick up the goods, the survivors who were watching outside stopped a few people.
"Zhao Nian, you can't do business with others without the knowledge of us, the oil fields here are ours!"
A black and thin man looked at Zhao Nian and said with a bad expression.
"Pharaoh, we didn't hide it from you, but this team also needs to keep the information confidential. After they leave, we will definitely take out the traded materials and share them equally with the big guy."
Zhao Nian reluctantly said that he just got the barrier out, but also because the people watching the dragon travel the world were some onlookers who were concerned about the outside world, and did not mean to steal the materials.
"No, what did you change our oil for, we have to know"
A group of people pushed and shoved and completely blocked the way for Zhao Nian and the others.
Lu Hao protected his family and stepped aside. These are Zhao Nian and the others. They were just here to trade, and they didn't intend to intervene.
"Sorry everyone, please wait a moment"
A middle-aged woman with long hair next to the space ability user Xiaoye Ye said apologetically.
"Well, it's okay"
Su Jin smiled, no wonder Zhao Nian just said that there would be occasional small frictions between them, but it seems that this is no longer a small friction...
"What?! Can I exchange for 1,000 catties of grain?!"
Pharaoh's shocked voice came from not far away, and it seemed that Zhao Nian told them everything truthfully.
It's just that Lu Hao also keenly noticed that among those people, some of them looked at the family with different eyes.
There is envy, greed, and thinking...
"Try to be careful in a while"
Su Jin also noticed something and said.
"it is good"
The family nodded and moved closer to each other.
Until the time of the on-site transaction, more than 200 people were still watching, not letting go of any actions of the family.
"Captain Zhao, here is 500 catties of rice. When I put the oil tank in, I will also take out the other 500 catties of flour. Do you have any opinion?"
Su Jin looked at the people around and said.
"no comment"
Zhao Nian also knew that the dragon in the world seemed to suddenly become vigilant, and it must be because of the old Wang's group, whoever was staring at them all the time, must feel very uncomfortable.
"No, what if you don't take out the other half?"
Old Wang stood up again and pointed directly at Su Jin.
"Pharaoh! Don't go too far!"
Luo Yuan can't bear it anymore. They often run outside because they know the reputation of Longxingxia. The food just now is also genuine. Besides, everyone has followed them in here with confidence, so why not worry about it?
An ice thorn appeared between Pharaoh's brows.
Lao Wang didn't see anything clearly, so he fell to the ground in fright, and saw a plain-looking young man walk out and said:
"If you don't take out the other half, what can you do with us?"
Lin Xiuyuan looked at Pharaoh on the ground with a half-smile, Su Jin and Lu Hao didn't want to reveal their abilities, but he didn't care.
"You, you bully people!"
Immediately, two men helped Old Wang up, but the eyes that looked at them were already a little frightened.
It was actually an ice element, and they didn't notice when the man moved his hand just now.
"continue"
Lu Hao said to Zhao Nian.
Zhao Nian nodded and ignored the onlookers, and quickly completed the transaction with Su Jin.
"That's fine, but I might have to trouble Captain Zhao to send us out of here."
Su Jin said that their cars probably couldn't drive in this desert.
"No problem, we'll take you there"
Zhao Nian nodded and said.
Seeing Zhao Nian and Long Xingtian's group leave, the old Wang and several people in the crowd rolled their eyes and looked at the neat and tidy supplies on the ground, and immediately came to their hearts.
