Chapter 169 168. The Grand Situation of the Motorcade
A total of 5 cars were stuck in the traffic jam and were ushered into a side ramp like a snail.
The defense force in charge of quarantine stood beside the equipment on one side waiting, while everyone was crowded there like a group of curious penguins.
Huaiyu was pushed to the front by Uncle Zaozi. He was holding the backpack in a daze. The front door was blocked by the people who were blocking the way. The people inside cursed and pushed it open:
"Go away! Why are you in such a hurry when the test hasn't even started yet?"
Some people even grumbled, "Aren't there large instruments at the highway intersections that can inspect the entire vehicle? We always have to use this small one to move and unload the goods and then reload them... It's so troublesome..."
The defense soldiers nearby glanced at them and said, "Where does the country have the money? It has already been spent on repairing houses, roads, and all the infrastructure."
That's true.
Everyone thought about their lives that were gradually getting back on track, and they started to laugh: "I was just saying a few words... check slowly, be safe, and avoid cheating!"
Nowadays, there is no such thing as overloading or not overloading a vehicle. Whether conditions permit or not, a truck bed must be added at the back. Seeing more than a dozen people in the team moving things up and down, someone on the side actively stretched out his hands:
"Captain Zhao, let me help you!"
"no."
After someone spoke, Huaiyu recognized the "Captain Zhao". He looked to be about 40 years old and not very tall, but the muscles in his forearms were tense as he moved things, showing that he was very powerful.
He had a dark complexion and sparse eyebrows, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife. At this moment, he glared at the person who was speaking with a smile:
"Stay away from my car. Everyone knows that you guys are here to help me, but you're actually trying to touch my things."
This was said directly, but the person being spoken to did not feel ashamed at all, instead he laughed:
"Look at what you said. I'm not that kind of person."
"Don't you need help with people like that? What's the point of standing guard here? Just stay at the inspection port over there. If there's anything I'm too lazy to deal with, I'll definitely come straight to you."
That's what he said, but Huaiyu looked at the inspection port in front of him, and he was afraid that there might be more than this side! It turned out that they were the ones who didn't catch up with the C position.
Captain Zhao unloaded baskets of things from the car, but it was difficult to see clearly in the dim light at night.
Huaiyu tiptoed and poked her head out, her curiosity visible to the naked eye. Among this group of vendors who stayed up all night to grab goods, her fair and clean appearance was really eye-catching.
Several people in the convoy glanced at the unfamiliar face, but Huaiyu was unaware and asked the people around him:
"Uncle Zaozi, what are you going to collect later? If you're close, I'll help you grab it."
Uncle Zaozi laughed: "I have many channels, I can get anything..."
Before he could finish, the machine in front made a beeping sound, and the crowd immediately surged:
"Come out, come out!"
"It's a mutant honeycomb, 5.7 kilograms! Lots of bee pupae! A little royal jelly - damn, the mutation value is only 14!"
"Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me—"
The crowd suddenly became agitated, and everyone kept pushing forward, but there was another kind of order in this crowd:
"600 points!"
"Why don't you go back to sleep? You can dream about anything. Next!"
"880! That's quite nice, Captain Zhao!"
"Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, I've finally found a bargain..."
Uncle Zaozi standing by also sighed: "What luck! How come this Zhao guy is so lucky? A whole beehive of mutants!" Huaiyu opened his eyes wide and watched the people in front of him come forward one after another to make bids, and those who failed to make bids stepped aside.
Invisibly, it heated up the atmosphere. At the same time, it also made the explorers sell their goods at a higher price and more efficiently, leaving hope for those in the back row...
Huaiyu understood instantly why everyone in the front couldn't squeeze in so they just kept moving over here. It turns out that there is really a chance of getting in line!
I was counting the dozen or so people ahead when suddenly someone in the middle of the team raised his hand:
"One price, 1800!"
hiss!
This score was so shocking that at least everyone present was silent for a moment.
Captain Zhao, who was already familiar with the business, couldn't help but feel refreshed:
"it is good!"
He strode up to the person who was speaking, and the two of them raised their palms and slapped them together in mid-air. The mutant beehive was immediately traded to one side by the team members.
And the next white plastic basket just happened to come out of the detector.
"Frozen mutant bullfrogs - fresh ice transportation, they will freeze immediately after death. Everyone in our team who has water-type and can make ice knows it..."
"After talking so much, is the mutation value high?"
We all know things well, so of course we would point out the key points right away. There must be something fishy going on here as he talks so much.
Uncle Zaozi was in high spirits, and at this moment he stuffed the sack in his hand into Huaiyu's elbow: "I have a feeling that this is the time for me to go out! As long as the mutation value does not exceed 18, I will--"
"Mutation value - 21."
When this number was announced, the crowd was silent for a moment, and then they all let out a "tsk~" sound.
After the age of 20, the only difference between food is “terribly unpalatable” and “so unpalatable that it’s worse than death”.
Even Uncle Zaozi had a distorted expression. It seemed that both Tao and Zaozi had made his already unhappy life even worse.
Someone in front of them was already carrying a basket and preparing to throw it aside. The team members were also cursing:
"Fuck, if I had known 21 earlier, why would I have wasted my special ability... Look how frozen I am along the way!"
Huaiyu was short and couldn't see what the people in front of her were doing, but seeing that everyone had already focused on the things that hadn't come out of the detector, she was anxious and raised her hand high:
"Me, me, me! Mutated bullfrog! I want it!"
Everyone turned their heads and listened to the crisp voice, and couldn't help laughing:
"Mutation value 21, if you want to move, why are you waiting here?"
"Are you still planning on paying?"
Huaiyu exclaimed, "Ah!" - that was really what she planned.
I didn’t expect...it was given to me for free.
Looking at Uncle Zaozi again at this moment, Huaiyu remembered what he said about squatting at the highway exit and picking up a basket of dates. He immediately curved his eyebrows and ran over happily:
"Thank you uncle, brother, sister, and aunt!"
The little girl spoke sweetly, and the team member carrying the basket also relaxed his expression. He put the basket on the grass beside him and said, "Can you carry it back? It must weigh more than 30 kilograms, including the meat and ice."
“We can move it!”
Mutated bullfrogs, and they are quick-frozen. They are tender meat and high in protein! Huaiyu has to crawl back with this basket of meat on his back!
Uncle Zaozi was a step slower. He just rushed over with a sack in his hand: "Come on, I brought a plastic bag. I'll put this piece of ice in it for you."
After everyone left, he sneaked up to Huaiyu and whispered, "You always want these things with high mutation values. Do you want to supply them to the Rose Corridor?"
Update one.
