Post-Apocalyptic Highway Survival: I Have a Sequence Caravan

Chapter 11 The Deal with Li Meier

Because Chen Zhifu was close to the three superhumans in the team, and Xu Wenchu ​​would ask Chen Zhifu for help when passing messages, Chen Zhifu knew more information than the ordinary survivors in the team.

Chen Zhifu didn't have many other hobbies, except for smoking.

Zhao Hai had previously found a small bag of Furongwang cigarettes when he was collecting supplies.

In order to extract information from Chen Zhifu, Zhao Hai ended up giving Chen Zhifu a large portion of his half-pack of Furongwang cigarettes.

The last time the convoy went to the gas station to collect gasoline was ten days ago.

The amount of gasoline Zhao Hai carried last time was about the same as that of the superhumans in the convoy. Moreover, in the past ten days, some survivors in the convoy had exchanged some gasoline with the superhumans.

His car has a 50-liter gas tank, and he just filled it up yesterday. He still has 40 liters of gas left in his tank, and there's a 20-liter can of gasoline in the back seat, enough to keep his car running for five days.

He didn't have much gasoline, and he figured the three superhumans in the convoy probably did too. So, he guessed that in two or three days at most, Captain Xu would take them to a gas station to refuel.

If that's the case, exchanging ten liters of gasoline and the two sisters, Li Meier and her brother, for eight kilograms of rice wouldn't be a bad deal.

After all, he could refuel in just two or three days, and he wasn't short of gas. Why not take advantage of this freebie?

"Hey! Uncle Fu, I'm hurt by what you're saying. I came to offer you the cigarettes as soon as I got them! Asking you for some information was just a side thing!" Zhao Hai said with a sly smile, while also giving Chen Zhifu a shoulder massage.

"Ha! After spending so much time with you, do you think I don't know you? You're so cunning. If it weren't for you asking me for information, you would have already traded your Baisha cigarettes for supplies with other people! How could I possibly get to enjoy them!" Chen Zhifu rolled his eyes.

"Hey! Uncle Fu, look at what you're saying. Besides, what kind of information do you have? In our entire convoy, besides you, who else could get information from three extraordinary individuals!"

Zhao Hai tightened his grip, making Chen Zhifu squint in pleasure. "This white sand is mainly to express my boundless admiration for you, and incidentally... to absorb some of your wisdom and good fortune!"

Chen Zhifu snorted through his nose, but couldn't help but curl his lips upward: "Don't give me that! Everyone knows what tricks you're up to! Tell me what information you've come to find out today! If you don't tell me now, I'm not telling you anything later!"

"Hey! Uncle Fu, I'd like to know how long it will take Captain Xu and the others to find a gas station to fill up their tanks?"

"Hey! You've really hit the nail on the head. Captain Xu just told me this morning that we could find a gas station to refuel at the earliest tomorrow noon, and at the latest the day after!"

"Thanks, Uncle Fu! I won't bother you any longer, I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, Zhao Hai ignored Chen Zhifu and ran away in a flash.

After leaving Chen Zhifu's place, Zhao Hai also went to the car of Li Meier and her sister.

"Miss Li, I can trade you the gasoline, but you have to trade me nine catties of rice!" Zhao Hai said to Li Meier.

"Nine catties?" Li Meier frowned, and without even thinking, she refused outright: "Impossible. If you're offering nine catties, I'll just add another catty and then go find the superhuman in the caravan to trade!"

Hearing Li Meier's words, Zhao Hai was completely unconvinced. In the apocalypse, even a pound of rice was extremely precious, and he absolutely refused to believe Li Meier's statement.

If she really had that much courage, she would have gone to the superhumans in the convoy to exchange for gasoline long ago.

Moreover, when Li Meier approached me before, she said she would exchange eight catties of rice for ten liters of gasoline, which means that the eight catties of rice was just her bottom line.

He believed that even if he raised the price to nine kilograms of rice, Li Meier would still switch.

She said that simply to avoid giving herself the opportunity to raise the price.

"Ha! Miss Li, apart from the few superhumans in the convoy, you can count the number of people who have extra gasoline on one hand. And you want a full ten liters. The other survivors don't have that much gasoline to give you."

As for your claim that you'd trade an extra pound of rice with the superhumans in the convoy, do you even believe that yourself? You're haggling with me over that extra pound of rice; are you really willing to give it up?

"I'm sure you know that this pound of rice can do a lot in this damn apocalypse!" Zhao Hai looked at Li Meier with a half-smile.

Seeing that Zhao Hai had exposed her thoughts, Li Meier felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was just a college student before the apocalypse, and her family background was quite good, so she really didn't have much experience in bargaining.

"No, nine jin is really too much. I can only give you eight and a half jin at most!" Li Meier said through gritted teeth.

"No way! Eight and a half pounds is too little! It has to be at least eight pounds and seven ounces!" Zhao Hai refused outright.

"No! Eight and a half pounds is too much! This rice was found by my sister and me at great personal risk! Eight and a half pounds is our bottom line, no more!"

Zhao Hai was originally prepared to raise the price further, but seeing Li Meier's appearance, he figured that eight and a half catties was probably close to her bottom line, so he gave up the idea of ​​raising the price further.

"Alright! Miss Li, considering this is our first transaction, eight and a half pounds it is!"

Seeing Zhao Hai relent, Li Meier breathed a sigh of relief; she was genuinely worried that Zhao Hai would continue to raise the price.

The two quickly completed the transaction. Li Meier gave Zhao Hai eight and a half catties of rice, and Zhao Hai poured half of the twenty liters of gasoline from his back seat into Li Meier.

Not long after the transaction with Li Meier, the convoy continued its journey forward.

noon the next day.

[Attention! The convoy will be passing a gas station this afternoon. Those needing to refuel can proceed without worry; there is nothing unusual at this gas station!]

Upon hearing the news over the loudspeaker in Captain Xu's car, the survivors with cars all smiled. Of course, this did not include the Li sisters. As for the survivors without cars, they didn't feel particularly happy.

Those survivors without cars had no use for the gasoline, so they weren't particularly bothered by it.
