1169: Liu Family

No, it's not quite normal either.

Between the transaction and returning from abroad, his tone and information set him apart from ordinary people!

"Sorry, that wasn't meant for you just now," Hong Lei tentatively apologized.

The other party didn't seem to mind: "Do you still have goods? I ran into some trouble in Nianyu County."

"I know, during this special period, your goods must be in short supply, and we are willing to pay a high price."

On the phone, the man's attitude was very natural, and his tone was calm.

The information revealed over the phone was not guarded at all.

It seems that this channel, from the other party's perspective, is a top-secret single-line channel and does not need to hide anything.

"Nianyu County." Hearing the name of this County, Hong Lei muttered to himself, his heart stirring slightly.

Isn't this Nianyu County the County adjacent to the County he is currently in?!

"What goods do you want?" Hong Lei asked back, still quite steady.

"As for guns, the ones we got from you a month ago have basically not been used, so we don't need them."

"Can you provide a batch of heavy weapons this time? The times are chaotic, and it takes some ruthless characters to make people feel secure."

The other party's response on the phone made Hong Lei's breathing hitch slightly.

Guns? Heavy weapons?

There's such a ruthless character in the neighboring County?

Without giving an answer immediately, Hong Lei continued to ask back: "I have heavy weapons, and I also have things better than heavy weapons, but what price can you offer?"

At this sentence, it was the other party's turn to be slightly silent, as if deep in thought.

"How about equal weight in gold?"

After a moment of silence, the other party spoke, giving a price.

Equal weight in gold!

Just this sentence raised the level of this transaction once again!

This time it was Hong Lei's turn to be silent for a long while.

"We are all old friends, you should understand that our Gaopeng Family never accepts bargaining. The price I give is the only price, and I believe from your perspective, we are also very sincere."

Facing these words, Hong Lei took a deep breath and continued: "Are you buying them to deal with the Zombies?"

"Otherwise? Could it be that our Liu Family wants to be like ordinary people, crying helplessly in the face of Zombies, waiting for death or the Army to arrive first?" On the other end of the phone, the person speaking revealed another piece of information that was relatively important to Hong Lei.

Liu Family!

It seems that the other party's organization on this channel is indeed at the level of old acquaintances with himself.

There was no intention of hiding his identity information at all.

As for the Liu Family, in this information age, the vast majority of ordinary people would not know about them.

Even if they had heard of them, they would only think of them as so-called Family forces that only existed in the 1950s and 1960s.

In fact, Hong Lei, who has the most direct contact with society, is not unfamiliar with this Liu Family during these many years!

The Liu Family in his memory was a noble Family.

Among the Family members, the Old Master was a provincial-level cadre who retired early.

Three brothers went into business, politics, and the military respectively.

The result was that except for the one in business, the other two were brought down, leaving the entire Liu Family in the awkward position of having only money and no power.

Even so, the Liu Family's Family assets had branches in the city, the province, and even abroad!

They were the undisputed richest Family in Nianyu County!

Even looking at the surrounding counties and even cities, they were absolutely wealthy existences!

Combined with the fact that this guy said he wanted to buy heavy weapons with equal weight in gold, Hong Lei was even more certain that the other party was the Liu Family from his memory!

From the amount, the gold offered by the other party was indeed of immense value.

But Hong Lei had little interest in gold, after all, he didn't need it either.

And he didn't have heavy weapons.

Speaking of which, as long as his Family was by his side, except for the System's energy points, he didn't lack anything else.

However, to ensure the long-term safety of his Family, Hong Lei understood that relying on plants to replace heavy weapons and having another Liu Family as a customer would be more secure!

And this was also another stable source of energy point income.

The fact that the Liu Family could still develop to this point after the second generation suffered continuous setbacks shows that their internal structure is united and striving upwards.

At the same time, having developed to such a height, their vision would not be poor.

They might recognize the value and importance of plants far exceeding heavy weapons more quickly and clearly than those Soldiers in Class Seven!

And such a Gaopeng Family would definitely be able to help the plants survive the initial dangerous period and successfully develop and grow!

However, there was still that one point that made Hong Lei feel a bit disadvantaged.

He didn't need gold, nor did he need anything else.

When trading with others in the future, he should at least collect something useful to himself.

Thinking this, Hong Lei suddenly turned his head to look at the System panel.

Before, when he was thinking about how to find customers, the System proactively reminded him that there was a way and helped him update the RV's phone communication channel.

Now, facing this problem, the System remained silent.

Looking back at his energy, Hong Lei suddenly understood.

It seemed that he had no energy points, and the System felt there was no money to be made, so it didn't remind him!

"System, is there anything else that can be exchanged for energy points?" Hong Lei asked this, clearly wanting another way to earn energy points.

If the System could exchange gold for energy points, then he could take gold as his main item to collect in the future, and other customers would have to use this as the price to exchange for plants.

But obviously, the System didn't give Hong Lei the opportunity to exploit this loophole.

"Ding ~ In addition to the energy points produced by Sunflowers, the System can also recycle specially evolved vehicles and convert them into energy points. Host, do you want to exchange the RV you are currently driving for energy points? During the process of exchanging for energy, there is a chance to unlock new plant illustrations."

As these sounds fell into his ears, Hong Lei shook his head speechlessly.

It seemed that apart from picking up energy himself and others helping him pick up the energy produced by Sunflowers, there was no other way for him to obtain energy points at the moment.

He only had one specially evolved vehicle.

Although selling it to the System, in addition to the energy point reward, there were also plant illustrations, which were very enticing, the RV was his means of livelihood after all.

Speaking of which, this car belonged to that kid Wang Yang.

Could that kid make the car specially evolve?

If he meets him in the future, can he directly recycle his car?

Under the System's reminder, Hong Lei suddenly thought of another possibility.

Shaking his head, he cast aside these erratic thoughts and returned to the phone in his hand.

After stating his offer, the other party had remained silent, waiting for his answer.

"I don't need that much gold."

"Don't need gold? Do you need food?" The person on the phone answered clearly.

In this era, the only thing that could compare in value to gold was food!

Hong Lei nodded slightly, just as he was about to confirm, suddenly, his gaze locked onto the plants in front of the RV's console, which were swaying their stems in unison as the vehicle drove.

"No, I mean, give me half the gold, and the other half directly as payment," Hong Lei changed the subject.

He suddenly thought that his villa had not been cleared yet!

Later, he would definitely plant a lot of plants to defend his front and back yards.

Since that was the case, he would need machines to cultivate the land.

For example, excavators, bulldozers, lawnmowers, as well as fertilizer, and even automatic watering devices, etc...

Before order completely collapsed, money could still buy goods that were not directly related to strategic materials like food, salt, and sugar.

Although the System didn't recognize these currencies of exchange, everyone else still did, so these things were still worth having.
