Du Jie took out a few items, but they were clearly of a higher quality than what Yang the Boss had.
A variety of medicines were present, including anti-inflammatory drugs, first aid medications, and trauma treatments, along with some emergency supplies like bandages, adhesive plasters, gauze, hemostatic agents, trauma ointments, and insect repellents. It was evident that Du Jie had scavenged from a clinic or pharmacy. Hospitals were out of the question since they were under military control.
Next was a whole box of walkie-talkies and corresponding batteries, as well as a box of High-Intensity Flashlights and their respective batteries. Additionally, there were solar charging panels that could directly charge electrical devices using solar energy. Although the efficiency was low, it could be very useful in critical moments.
“Bosses, I also need guns and ammunition. Moreover, I want to trade for some mutated vegetables from Jiang the Great.” Du Jie nodded towards Ning, then looked at Jiang the Great: “Jiang the Great, what do you think?”
Everyone turned to look at Jiang the Great, including Shen Yuan.
In fact, plants all over the world were undergoing changes; many trees had become taller and more lush. However, plants with Gene Mutation, special abilities, and containing large amounts of Source of Life were rare and often guarded by powerful Mutant Beasts, making them difficult to obtain.
For instance, those with Tiger Brother had once encountered a mutated jujube tree but found it was guarded by a nest of Mutated Snakes, with the largest one exceeding ten meters in length. It was impossible to approach; otherwise, given the strength of Tiger Brother and his group, they would undoubtedly perish!
Thus, Jiang the Great's mutated vegetables were extremely valuable and in high demand.
These mutated vegetables each had their own characteristics; they could generally enhance physical fitness and promote evolution with excellent effects. Some were even more effective than Mutated Beast Meat, and they possessed a peculiar trait:
Mutated Beast Meat could not be consumed in large quantities; eating too much would cause the body to feel unbearably hot and lead to fatigue and drowsiness.
However, no matter how much mutated vegetable one ate, it would only leave a warm sensation in the body—neither hot nor uncomfortable—and it felt quite pleasant. After consuming them, one would not feel tired or sleepy. Even when eaten in combination with Mutated Beast Meat, there would be no side effects. The effects…
Were somewhat similar to those of Mutated Cow milk.
Jiang the Great's mutated vegetables had always been bestsellers!
However, the mutated vegetables were limited, and Jiang the Great didn't sell many of them; he still had a large number of people who needed them!
Seeing Du Jie's eager expression, Jiang the Great chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Alright then! How about this: I'll give you this bag of mutated vegetables, and you give me all the medicine you have, plus ten walkie-talkies, ten High-Intensity Flashlights, and half a box of batteries. What do you think?"
This price was clearly within Du Jie's acceptable range. She realized that Jiang the Great was being very considerate towards her and quickly nodded in agreement. She even specially included a solar charging panel as a gift for Jiang the Great.
Jiang the Great didn't lose out either.
Dongxi Village had quite a few Survivors, but their level of evolution was low; they could only be considered ordinary people. The village's only health clinic had collapsed and was ravaged by Mutant Beasts, leaving the medicines mostly destroyed. He was very happy to obtain these medicines and first aid supplies.
Suicheng had lost power, and rural areas were even worse off, so the High-Intensity Flashlights were very useful.
Additionally, walkie-talkies were great items. With the communication system collapsed, long-distance communication could only rely on walkie-talkies. Unfortunately, these items were rare; usually, people had communication devices, so who would need them?
Du Jie was indeed lucky to get a whole box of walkie-talkies.
"Ten walkie-talkies, ten High-Intensity Flashlights, half a box of batteries, and one solar charging panel." Ning said expressionlessly: "I'll give you two Revolvers and 300 rounds of ammunition."
It was a windfall!
Du Jie quickly expressed her gratitude.
With these items, her strength had significantly increased.
Soon after, others also took out good items to exchange for walkie-talkies. Unfortunately, Du Jie only wanted firearms and ammunition, so no deals were made in the end.
There was no way around it; aside from Ning, no one had any spare firearms or ammunition, and no one was willing to part with their weapons!
Although it was said that this was an era of Evolvers, how many Evolvers in the entire Suicheng could truly ignore firearms? Ten? Twenty?
Firearms were still playing a crucial role!
Du Jie felt somewhat disappointed.
Her own strength was decent, and with Bao Ye's support, she could maintain her position in the southern part of the city. However, to protect so many people with limited firearms and ammunition—basically one weapon for every three people—she could only form one hunting team to deal with Mutant Beasts, making life difficult.
Of course, she didn't have high hopes because she already knew that aside from Ning, no one could provide firearms or ammunition, so she wasn't overly disappointed.
At that moment, Shen Yuan spoke up.
He looked at Du Jie, nodded slightly, and smiled faintly. "Du Jie, I can't give you bullets, but I can offer you three guns in exchange for ten walkie-talkies, half a box of batteries, and a solar charging panel."
Boss Luo immediately slammed the table in mockery. "Ha! Shen, are you openly mocking Ning? The price you're offering seems lower than Ning's. What do you think? Do you believe your face carries more weight than Ning's? Is your face made of a grinding stone or the skin of a Mutated Wild Boar?"
Indeed!
Everyone could see that Shen Yuan's offer was undervalued and clearly antagonistic towards Ning. Han the Great and Boss Luo were waiting to see the fallout because provoking Ning would likely end worse than provoking Han the Great—perhaps even more disastrous!
Ning also looked at Shen Yuan with a somewhat unfriendly expression because this was a slap in his face!
"What if I offered a Semi-Automatic Pistol?" Shen Yuan smiled calmly. Chen Letian quickly opened his backpack and took out three Semi-Automatic Pistols, placing them in front of Shen Yuan.
"Is it really a Semi-Automatic Pistol?" Du Jie was taken aback, then filled with joy.
A Semi-Automatic Pistol is certainly better than a Revolver; it has more rounds, higher accuracy, and greater lethality! Of course, the Revolver has its advantages too, such as high reliability and less chance of misfire.
In this era, the military uses Semi-Automatic Pistols, while the police use both Semi-Automatic Pistols and Revolvers. Facing Mutant Beasts and increasingly powerful Evolvers, the Revolver—especially those specially designed for police use—has very low power and cannot compare to the Semi-Automatic Pistol.
The value of three Semi-Automatic Pistols is actually higher than Ning's, so Du Jie was naturally very pleased.
However, ammunition was a problem.
"Shen Laoda, I'm older than you, so I’ll take the liberty to call you brother. Is that alright? Brother, can you sell me some ammunition? I’m in urgent need of bullets," Du Jie asked Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan shrugged and opened his hands. "Unfortunately, I'm also short on ammunition. Otherwise, why would I be selling these Semi-Automatic Pistols?"
This reasoning was quite valid and left no room for rebuttal.
In fact, everyone knew that Shen Yuan had just had a gunfight with Tiger Brother, and over twenty Semi-Automatic Pistols had fallen into his hands. However, during the gunfight, ammunition was heavily consumed, so running low on bullets was quite normal.
These people knew to some extent that Shen Yuan's group was small, not exceeding ten members; they indeed wouldn't run out of handguns but were lacking in ammunition. It was likely that Shen Laoda himself wanted to buy bullets the most!
Eventually, the transaction was completed. Shen Yuan instructed Chen Letian to load the walkie-talkies, batteries, and solar panels onto the vehicle and then to bring some additional items up as well.
