Chapter 185 Cannery
Chapter 185 Cannery
"What's at the end of this road?" Zagreus suddenly asked, pointing into the distance.
Ma Ming thought about it and realized that he had never walked this road before, so he asked the people behind him if they knew where it was. Then a woman thought for a moment and said, "I remember there seemed to be a food processing factory at the end of the road. Yes! It makes canned fruit!"
“Canned fruit!!!”
Ma Ming almost drooled when he heard this. This thing is in short supply in the end times. If they really find a processing factory, they will be rich. The woman then thought about it and said, "I'm not too sure. My sister used to work here. She told me there was a small black factory here, but I haven't been there. I don't know if the processing factory is still there!"
"No matter if it's there or not, let's go take a look first. It looks like there aren't many infected bodies on this street, and it's quick to go around. What do you think?"
He was naturally asking Wang Shun and the others. Wang Shun looked around, sniffed, and suddenly walked to a wall and checked it carefully: "Look, there is blood here!"
The other people followed immediately and found that there was not only blood here, but also that it had been buried artificially, which meant that the blood was left by a living person. If it was not dealt with, it would attract other infected bodies. If they were infected, their blood would not be attractive to the infected bodies. And looking at the traces, it was obvious that they had encountered an infected body. After a battle, it was estimated that the whole army was wiped out, because looking at the bloodstains on the ground, it was clear that they were dragged by the infected body.
"What do you think, should we continue to move forward or retreat?"
"All of us can do it."
Ma Ming thought for a moment, and said to the four people behind him: "Go to the nearby houses first to see if there is anything you can take away. I will decide whether to go or stay after you come out!"
The other people immediately picked up their weapons, selected a house, and skillfully pried open the door, deliberately making a noise. After waiting for a while and finding that no infected bodies rushed out, the four of them squeezed in.
Ma Ming saw several people entering the house and looked around. "Now there are only three of us left. I want to continue walking inside. Regardless of who this team fought with before, they all suffered losses. Besides, we have three people with special abilities. We are not afraid of encountering this team. If we really find something, we can make a fortune. What do you think?"
Zagros had no objection, and naturally neither did Wang Shun. Ma Ming was very happy to see that the two agreed. They waited for less than five minutes, and the four people who had entered the house to search ran out, and one of them filled a bulging bag that he had prepared in advance.
"Boss, everything is here. Look what good stuff I found?"
After saying that, he took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket stealthily and held it out like a treasure. Ma Ming took a look and said, "Good stuff! A pack of this thing is worth at least five crystal cores now. With this thing, our trip will not be a loss!"
Cigarettes and canned food are all considered luxury items in Alaya's eyes. Except for the simplest food, the prices of these luxury items are very high. A pack of cigarettes costs almost ten crystal cores in the exchange mall, so some people will trade privately. Anyway, as long as it is cheaper than the price in the system mall, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.
Ma Ming glanced at the four people and found that they were all happy. It seemed that they had found other valuable things besides cigarettes. He slowly stood up, raised one foot, and gently touched the dust on the ground to cover up the previous bloodstains.
Then, he turned around and said calmly, "We have discussed it just now and decided to continue going inside. Do you still want to follow? If not, you can go back first. We are not too far from the main road now, so it is relatively safe. Leave one-third of the things here, and you can take the rest.
Third brother, your wife is about to give birth. I advise you not to take risks again. You injured your internal organs last time. This time, you will have enough. If you continue to follow me, I may not guarantee your safety. I will not lie to you. There may be a C-level infected body ahead. If those who stay behind want to act as bait to lure it out, I will not force you. The final decision is in your hands. Consider it carefully!"
Hearing this, the four people looked a little conflicted and talked in a low voice. The third brother who was named before and the only woman decided to withdraw. After all, they all had families and the harvest this time was enough. There was no need to take any more risks. Ma Ming naturally agreed, and after getting Wang Shun's opinion, he gave them some more food. After watching them leave, several people also started to move forward and continue to walk inside.
This time they didn't plan to attack the roadside buildings, and decided to go inside first. This time, the two ordinary people led the way. They took out a small bottle of pig blood from the bag, randomly pulled out a piece of cloth and tied it on a stick, then poured pig blood on it, and walked in front of the crowd, waving the sticks in their hands as they walked. This trick can usually attract nearby infected bodies, and Ma Ming also became alert.
