There is room for rebirth in the apocalypse, so you can stock up on hundreds of billions of goods wi

The market in the survivor base in G city is really big.

It's a square place with shops all around.Use a worn blackboard or piece of cloth to write the main categories so that customers can see them at a glance.

These shops may be large or small, with different areas and different monthly rental prices.In order to save money, many shop owners do not rent separate rooms, but sleep directly in the shop.

There is also a large open space in the middle of the market where vendors are allowed to set up their stalls.Unlike shops, stalls operate on a daily rent system.Vendors do not need to pay monthly rent. They only need to hand over two crystal cores to the management office at the door before setting up a stall.Two crystal cores can set up a stall for a whole day.

The base is very tight on this point.

There is only one gate in the market, and everyone must pass by the management staff at the gate when entering. As long as you have more than five items or a large amount, you will be stopped directly and asked to pay the daily rent.If the quantity of goods does not exceed five pieces and the amount is not very large, the management staff will register the information.Once someone is found to have brought a small amount of goods in and out of the market many times, they will also be required to pay the daily rent, and even be fined.

When the five Qiao Yus came to the market, they were all empty-handed, so they were let in without registering.

The shops here have just begun to open.Many small vendors setting up street stalls came one after another to the open space in the middle.These stalls sell everything, but most of the items are very shabby.

The vendors will use a larger piece of cloth or blanket to wrap the goods. After paying the daily rent, they will find a place to spread out in the open space in the middle and start business directly.

The items they sell can be bought with crystal cores, or directly exchanged for what the vendors need.

Qiao Yu and the others didn't go shopping for long before they noticed that more and more people were coming.It can be seen that the flow of people here is very large.

Qiao Yu took a closer look and found that whether it was the surrounding shops or the vendors in the middle, the food stores had the largest flow of customers.

Even some small vendors who sell daily necessities very well will take the crystal cores sold directly to food stores for consumption after selling their items.

Qiao Yu and the other five went shopping in several larger food stores, where they sold a wide variety of food.There are rice, flour, grains and oils as well as instant noodles, bread, fast food, etc., but the volume is not large.

Some rice noodles have become moldy or infested with insects, but they are still on sale, and they are basically the best-selling ones.

Because the price will be cheaper than those rice noodles that look good.

Qiao Yu entered a food store, pointed to a grey-green flour with a faint sour smell on the shelf and asked the store owner: "Boss, how much does this cost?"

The shop owner was a middle-aged man who seemed quite honest.Seeing the extraordinary popularity of Qiao Yu's five people, he immediately smiled on his face, "This kind of flour has five crystal nuclei and one tael. If you can exchange it for canned food or instant food, the price can still be negotiated."

"Then... what about this kind?" Qiao Yu pointed to the flour that looked relatively normal in color.

"That one or twenty crystal nuclei."

Qiao Yu nodded, and then continued to ask: "Boss, do you collect food here?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded quickly, "I've collected all of them. Do you want to sell grain?"

Qiao Yu neither admitted nor denied, but just asked: "How much do you charge for better quality flour and rice?"

The shop owner considered it for a moment and carefully tested it: "Look... how about one, two or seven crystal nuclei?"

Seeing that Qiao Yu didn't answer and even frowned slightly, the man panicked, gritted his teeth, and increased the price: "Eight crystal cores, one tael! We really can't take more!"

After saying that, before Qiao Yu could reply, he just kept to himself with a grimace and said, "You see, my small business is not easy. You can't let me not even earn the monthly rent, right?"

Qiao Yu smiled after hearing this and said without saying anything, "Okay, let's go back and take a look first. If there is any surplus food, we will take it and sell it."

"Hey! Okay, okay!" The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and sent the five people out of the door enthusiastically.

Qiao Yu and others went to randomly inquire about several stores, and the prices they got were pretty much the same. However, some stores said that if the volume of goods delivered was large, they could give them some snacks.

After leaving the store, Cheng Sinian asked Qiao Yu in a low voice: "What? Do you want to sell grain?"

There are many people in the market, and I don't know if there are any people with hearing enhancement system.Qiao Yu didn't dare to say too much, so she just raised her eyebrows and answered vaguely: "Let's take a look at the store's monthly rent first and see which one is more cost-effective."

Cheng Sinian understood.Qiao Yu was planning to calculate whether she would make more money by directly supplying food or renting a store to sell the food herself.

Yu Qingchuan didn't care about the issue of selling grain. He just frowned and thought about the prices just now, and muttered in a low voice: "One tael of moldy flour actually costs five crystal nuclei?! This is too expensive..."

The daily rent of a small street vendor is only two crystal cores!

"No way." Qiao Yu shrugged, "Things are rare and valuable. You haven't seen the water yet!"

The implication is that water prices will be higher.

After the end of the world, there are only two ways to obtain drinking water: one is to rely on the water or ice system to produce water, and the other is to rely on rainfall from the sky.

However, natural type mutants are rare, and even if there are water type and ice type mutants, they may not be willing to produce water or ice every day.

Just like Qiao Yu.

She just would rather go out and have fun than be locked up in the base making ice every day.

So to put it bluntly, there is actually only one way for humans to obtain water - rainfall.

However, this rain only comes once a year and a half, and sometimes there is not even a drop of rain for two or three consecutive years, which is simply unable to meet human needs for water.

Therefore, after the end of the world, many people died of thirst due to severe dehydration; or they simply couldn't bear it and drank water from the wild for a long time and became alienated into alien species.

At that time, research institutes at major bases were trying their best to study how to purify water sources, but with little success.

Therefore, no matter which base you are in, water resources are extremely rare.

Qiao Yu still remembers that in her previous life in City B, a bottle of [-] ml of drinking water could even be sold for a sky-high price of [-] crystal nuclei, but the supply was still in short supply.

Yu Qingchuan was a little silent when he heard this.

He is not a warm-hearted person, but every time he hears this kind of thing, he can't help but think of his father.

If Dr. Yu were still here, he would be very sad to see the current situation, and then he would try his best to study how to purify the water source...

Qiao Yu didn't know what he was thinking, but she saw the struggle in his eyes.

She sighed softly and was about to say a few words of comfort, but when she raised her eyes, she suddenly saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

——Tang Ran!

Did she actually survive in this life? !

Did you come to G city like them? !
