Chapter 291: Trading Again
Because they knew where the second-hand dealer lived, they went out again in the afternoon, bringing with them some freeze-dried vegetables, vitamins, and calcium tablets, all of which were in high demand now.
And thinking about the underground entertainment venues, tobacco and alcohol should also be commodities they’d like to exchange, so they prepared a few packs of cigarettes as well.
Upon arriving at the second-hand dealer’s home, they knocked on the door, and the second-hand dealer quickly came to open it.
Seeing that it was Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, the second-hand dealer’s eyes lit up as he led them into the house, saying, "You two haven’t been around for a while. I thought you’d found new trading partners and looked down on my place."
Lu Ruisheng said, "You’re overthinking it; we were out on business for a while and just got back."
Hearing they had been out on business, the second-hand dealer’s eyes were full of surprise: "You’ve been gone for so long, you must have gotten your hands on some good stuff, right?"
Now there wasn’t much activity in the base, and he was having a hard time too. There were fewer Scavengers, and his exchanges were mostly with people from the base. How much could he possibly save? He was anxious.
Lu Ruisheng replied, "It was okay, we had some gains, but it’s not easy out there, especially with the eternal night."
Of course, he had to depict the outside as tough, to raise the value of his own goods.
The second-hand dealer sighed, "No kidding, if the apocalypse continues, it will only get harder." Everyone knew this, and it was indeed the case.
