Chapter 853: Chapter 313: The Black Market in Sunshine New City
Not only that, but the windows around the building were not only slanted with sharp inverted steel bars, and below, near the water, there were quite a few rafts, plastic rafts, and other scavenger vehicles docked.
On the water’s surface, there were even large platforms made of plastic, spread out like a floating ground.
On the floating plastic platforms, there were some tents and plastic sheds built, with people seen residing inside.
One could also see some people disembarking from the plastic and wooden rafts, carrying large bags and bundles, or using ropes to tie some women as they went upstairs.
Liang Yuan looked up at this building. The building number on the side had already fallen off, but Liang Yuan could already guess that this building was most likely the 83rd building with a black market.
Liang Yuan immediately glanced at Tu Long, who nodded, and said to Wang Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, head over there."
Wang Xiaoya nodded, manipulated the water, and the boat quickly headed towards the building.
Soon, the small boat reached the plastic platforms built on the water.
From a nearby shed, a middle-aged man immediately emerged.
He had a messy face, yellow teeth, and looked over when he heard the commotion, then walked over.
"Hey, which building are you from? Who told you to dock there? Move to the side!"
The middle-aged yellow-toothed man shouted and cursed.
Liang Yuan didn’t speak, but Tu Long smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry, we’ll move aside right away."
Saying so, he pretended to row the boat aside.
Then the middle-aged man came over, looked over the few people, focused on Chang Yan and Wang Xiaoya, and then looked at the boat, exclaiming, "Wow, this boat is nice, which building are you from? How do you have such a small boat?"
Tu Long immediately laughed and said, "We’re from building 21 over there, we also found this boat nearby."
The middle-aged man grinned, revealing yellow teeth, and said with a smile, "This boat could be worth quite a lot of food."
Then he looked at the people on the boat again and suddenly asked, "Where’s your goods? Are these two girls goods or your companions?"
Tu Long said, "They are our companions, our goods..."
He paused slightly and then saw Liang Yuan take out a large bag of White Elephant instant noodles from the back.
Liang Yuan calmly said, "Will this do?"
The middle-aged man’s eyes brightened instantly, almost drooling, and gasped, "Damn, you actually have something so good! This will definitely do."
He immediately rubbed his hands together and said with a grin, "You know the rules, right?"
Tu Long was stunned and asked, "What rules?"
The middle-aged man’s smile disappeared immediately, and he said, "Is this your first time here? The rules of the black market are that before you go in, there is an entrance fee."
"You have to hand over a pack of these instant noodles." the middle-aged man shouted immediately.
The instant noodles in Liang Yuan’s hand were a large package, with five small packs inside.
He said indifferently, "I haven’t even made a transaction, and you want to take a cut first?"
The middle-aged man sneered, "That’s the rule, what if you finish your transaction and sneak away?"
Liang Yuan gave him a meaningful look, then opened the instant noodle package, took out one pack, and handed it over, "Keep it for me."
The middle-aged man didn’t catch his meaning, excitedly took the instant noodles, and then said, "Go on in."
Liang Yuan and the others stepped onto the plastic platform. As they stepped on, the entire platform sank slightly, swaying with the water waves.
Liang Yuan took a careful look at these plastics, made from ordinary plastic boards and some plastic bottles glued together to form a flat carrier.
Logically, this thing shouldn’t have such strong buoyancy.
He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "This plastic board has quite strong buoyancy, being able to carry so many people."
When the middle-aged man heard the words, he immediately showed a wary look and said, "Why all the nonsense, are you going in or not?"
Liang Yuan squinted slightly, immediately sensing that these plastic-board-built platforms might have some hidden secrets.
The method of adhesion seemed like it used the mucus of mutated sea cucumbers.
However, mutated sea cucumber mucus doesn’t have such strong buoyancy effects.
There must be some special methods involved.
"It seems there are also skilled individuals in this black market."
Liang Yuan showed a pensive look.
This is also the main reason why he didn’t come up and destroy this black market directly.
Perhaps it not only hides a lot of supplies here, but during the time he left the flood, these people trapped in the flood have slowly learned how to coexist with the great flood.
And in this great flood, find ways to survive.
These are also what Liang Yuan values.
