Chapter 9: First Encounter with a Living Person
After processing the pork, Zhang Tuohai continued his journey to collect supplies.
Although he had gained a lot of things just now, these supplies were far from enough to survive for seven days, let alone the disaster day.
He had to stock up enough supplies to feel at ease.
The yellow sand is endless and the road is long, with no end in sight.
Driving on the same unchanging road for a short time is fine, but after a long time, Zhang Tuohai will inevitably become a little relaxed and even sleepy.
As a result, when he looked up, he suddenly found a woman standing in the middle of the road.
The woman stood in the middle of the road, waving her arms with an excited look on her face.
Next to her, there was a broken car parked.
As shabby as the car Zhang Tuohai drives.
Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai stopped the car.
However, he was careful and parked the car about seven or eight meters away from the woman.
There is no one to maintain order in this world, so you can never be too careful.
Who knows what this woman is planning.
The woman was very happy when she saw Zhang Tuohai stopped the car and ran towards him.
[A weak woman whose only weapon is a pair of nail clippers. You can beat her with one hand.]
The prompt system gives prompts at the appropriate time.
"Stop, don't come any closer, just say whatever you want to say here."
Zhang Tuohai pointed the crossbow at the woman.
Although the prompt system has indicated that the other party posed no threat, Zhang Tuohai still remained vigilant.
"Hey, don't be so cold. We are all stranded here, so let's get closer." The woman said while winking at Zhang Tuohai.
To be honest, the woman is pretty, with big wavy hair, an oval face, big eyes, long eyelashes, and an outstanding figure. The Pikachu on her chest has even become deformed. With this figure and this look, she can get hundreds of thousands of fans by just posting it on any website and taking a few short videos.
If it were in the past, Zhang Tuohai wouldn't mind having an in-depth communication with the other party.
However , in this uncertain world, it is better to save money.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Zhang Tuohai said as he glanced around.
Make sure there is no one else around to evade you.
[There is no one else around, no one is lying in ambush. ]
As if sensing Zhang Tuohai's thoughts, the prompt system gave an answer.
"Handsome guy, my car is out of gas, can you lend me some?" The woman said in a coquettish voice and threw a flirtatious glance at Zhang Tuohai.
"So we ran out of gasoline. No wonder we stopped here." Zhang Tuohai nodded when he heard that.
At the same time, I sighed that this woman was really bold. She actually stopped cars on the road so carelessly.
In other words, if you meet him and if you meet someone with bad intentions, the outcome is self-evident.
Zhang Tuohai had no intention of bullying the weak.
However, it is absolutely impossible to expect him to give gasoline to the other party for nothing.
He is neither a lawless villain nor a saint with the world in his heart. He is just a small man who wants to survive.
"If you want gasoline, fine, but you have to exchange it for something. If you want it for free, don't waste my time."
Zhang Tuohai’s words made the woman a little unhappy.
"Why are you so stingy? It's just a little gasoline. Why don't you lend it to me? I'll return it to you when I have it. Besides, you have so many supplies. What's wrong with sharing some with me? We all came from Earth. Shouldn't we help each other? And are you so cruel that you leave a weak woman like me here? Also, do you really not know me? Don't you watch the live broadcast?"
As the woman spoke, she looked into Zhang Tuohai's car.
In order to prevent carbon dioxide poisoning, Zhang Tuohai kept the rear window open.
From the woman's perspective, she can clearly see the mountains of supplies piled up in the back seat.
Of course, the main thing is the various materials.
A gust of wind blew over, and the aroma of braised meat spread, making the woman swallow her saliva.
"Sorry, I don't know you. If you don't have anything to exchange, then leave." Zhang Tuohai shook his head.
I feel like women are a bit unreasonable.
It seems that the other party is really famous on the Internet, but so what?
Want to get free resources from him?
You wish.
"Why are you like this ?" The woman was a little angry.
She is a little-known anchor. She usually acts cute in front of the camera and sends some benefits, and countless dogs give her money. If she wants something, there will be dogs to help arrange it.
As a result, the tactic that had always worked well hit a wall with Zhang Tuohai.
"Who said I don't have anything to exchange?" Seeing that Zhang Tuohai was really leaving, the woman became a little anxious.
"How about I give you my stockings? They are authentic and definitely not fake."
"Puff." Zhang Tuohai almost spit out a mouthful of water.
It turns out that the woman in front of me was the one who had been exchanging her original stockings for other things online yesterday.
Seeing Zhang Tuohai looking at her seriously, the woman involuntarily took two steps back.
"What are you doing? I'm telling you, I'm not that casual."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in those things. I just want supplies, food, drinks, blueprints, materials. If you don't have them, don't block my way. I'm leaving."
Zhang Tuohai said as he turned the car key.
"No, don't go, I have the blueprints." Seeing that Zhang Tuohai was really about to leave, the woman couldn't help but feel a little anxious and shouted hurriedly.
"Oh? What drawings?" Zhang Tuohai stopped when he heard the word drawings.
"A steel frame can double the structural strength of the vehicle." The woman said quickly.
It’s quite good.
Zhang Tuohai thought about it and decided that this thing could be useful.
Although, he could still get the drawings even if he killed the woman.
Moreover, it does not require any resources to be spent.
But he didn't want to do that.
He is not short of supplies for the time being and does not want to violate his bottom line.
"Then why don't you sell it on the trading channel?"
Zhang Tuohai was a little curious.
There will definitely be people who are willing to buy this kind of blueprint. If the woman posts it on the trading channel, she can easily sell it.
"I asked, and what they gave wasn't enough," the woman said with a curled lip. "They either lacked water, food, or gasoline. I couldn't bear to give them that."
"So that's how it is." Zhang Tuohai nodded.
"How about this? I won't bully you. For this blueprint, I'll give you 40 units of gasoline, a quarter of a naan, and 50 milliliters of water. These things are enough for you to have a full meal and conduct two more explorations. Whether you can obtain the things depends on your own luck."
Zhang Tuohai thought about it and gave a fairly fair price.
After all, this blueprint is something that increases the strength of the vehicle body, so it must be much more valuable.
The desert night is full of dangers, and there might even be wild beasts lurking around.
A stronger car body can save your life at a critical moment.
"Well, I smell meat. Can you give me some?" the woman asked hesitantly.
"The braised meat is not cooked through yet. Eating half-cooked meat may cause diarrhea. If you insist on having meat, that's fine. I can give you 200 grams, but there will be no more naan and water," said Zhang Tuohai.
"Well, forget it. How do we trade?" the woman asked.
"Hang up the trading channel."
In the trading channel, players can clearly see the materials being traded by both parties. There is no need to worry about the other party adulterating the materials, and there is no need for contact. It is safe and convenient, which is a rare benefit for players like them.
"Are you Zhang Tuohai, the one who sells water and pork?" After entering the trading channel, the woman naturally saw Zhang Tuohai's name.
"I'm so stupid. I should have guessed it was yours when I saw the meat cooking."
"If you find something good, remember to contact me. The price is absolutely fair."
Zhang Tuohai waved his hand and left first.
