Post-apocalyptic World: Stockpile Ten Billion Supplies at the Beginning

Chapter 120



Chapter 120

As Chen Luos group disembarked from their vehicles, a short and shabby-looking man, accompanied by several women dressed provocatively with decent looks, immediately approached and called out from a distance.

Hey handsome, want to come and play?

Including Zhao Hai, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

They called him handsome; who wouldnt turn around at that?

Chen Luo instantly understood the situation.

Some women were afraid to fight zombies but still wanted to survive. What could they do?

Or perhaps some morally corrupt men were using force to gather supplies.

Chen Luo not only understood in an instant, but so did everyone else, including you, perhaps?

The sleazy man wore a fawning smile, clearly recognizing that this group was sizable and likely had some power.

He showed his yellowed teeth and said, Brothers, want to have some fun? Just ten kilograms of rice or a second-level crystal will do.

Crystals could make survivors stronger, and when supplies werent too scarce, they were a valuable commodity.

The four women behind him displayed a range of expressions: some were bold, some couldnt meet anyones gaze, and some had evasive eyes.

Chen Luo had no intention of getting involved and furrowed his brow, saying, Move aside.

The sleazy man had decent observational skills and could tell that Chen Luo, based on his posture and demeanor, was likely the leader. However, he clearly didnt know his place.

Big brother, lets be friends. Its free for you. How about it?

Chen Luo looked disgusted and replied, Are you blind? Do I look like someone who would associate with your kind? Or do I look like I lack that ten kilograms of rice? Go away.

Damn it, its the apocalypse, and this guy still wants to suck blood from women. Chen Luo couldnt stand such people.

Seeing Chen Luo getting angry, the sleazy man finally realized his mistake. Even though he had been scolded, he didnt dare to show any temper and instead nodded obsequiously before leaving.

Chen Luo muttered to himself, Man, Im a good guy.

The trading point was on the highway, and people had parked their vehicles on the sides, setting out some goods in front of their cars, resembling a marketplace.

It was like a gathering.

People brought by Chen Luo marveled at the lively scene, something they hadnt seen in a long time.

Chen Luo also had his team find a spot and began setting up a stall.

Zhao Hai, on the other hand, set up across from Chen Luo.

Chen Luo took out two signs. One sign listed the terms of his base, stating that they were only recruiting level three Ability Users or those with special abilities.

The other sign stated that they were paying high prices for high-level crystals. Chen Luo wasnt afraid of not having enough money; he was afraid that others wouldnt have the goods.

Many people were expected to attend the event, possibly around ten thousand or so, even though it wouldnt be the entire city. However, there might still be people with high-level crystals.

Even if he had to snatch them, Chen Luo would do it.

Was Chen Luo a stickler for the rules? No way.

Chen Luo didnt bring much with him, and he wasnt actually there to sell things. The crystals in his possession were sufficient to exchange for most items.

Setting up a stall didnt require a hundred people. He left half of them behind while the other half roamed around, taking turns.

Chen Luo took out the crystals and distributed ten to each person, saying, Here you go.

Chen Luo handed out the crystals, giving each person ten, and said, Buy whatever you like, play whatever you want, and if you see something good, let me know.

Chen Luo emphasized the phrase play whatever you want, and smart individuals understood the implications. There was no need for strict restrictions in this regard.

He cautioned, Were not afraid of trouble, but dont go looking for it.

With these instructions, Chen Luo, accompanied by Chen Guang, Fang Yu, Xia Haoran, and Su Dazhu, began to roam the area. There was also a large truck following behind at a leisurely pace. Chen Luo would load up anything he was interested in onto the truck.

The group was excited to follow their leader, enjoying the freedom and flexibility of the situation. Chen Luos words had made it clear that they could seize opportunities as they came.

Chen Guang was feeling a bit frustrated. Why did the boss have to bring him along? He wanted to roam around on his own.

Chen Luo had arrived early, and while there werent many people there yet, the vehicles lined up along the road seemed endless.

The items being sold at the stalls were diverse. There were common goods like rice, flour, cooking oil, and salt. However, since they had accumulated a lot of these items, they wanted to exchange them for something different.

Some stalls were filled with various snacks, seemingly having raided a supermarket. They were looking to exchange these for more substantial and long-lasting food items like rice.

There were also peculiar items being sold, such as small umbrellas, sanitary pads, and even game consoles. Anything with value could be traded.

Some groups were selling crystals, but they were cautious about the prices. These crystals were hard-earned, and they didnt want to exchange them casually for just a few pounds of rice or flour.

What caught Chen Luos attention were various vacuum-sealed meat products, particularly those in one-pound packages. They were boldly asking for a hundred pounds of rice in exchange.

Not to mention the more high-end meat products, which commanded sky-high prices.

No one was using money to trade for goods anymore; it was a futile endeavor in these times. Even gold, with its pre-apocalypse allure, held no value.

However, anything that wasnt rice, flour, or snack-related items could be exchanged for crystals, and Chen Luo didnt hesitate to do so. Second-level crystals had lost their value to him, as he had third-level crystals, and he had no intention of using second-level crystals again.

But for most people, these second-level crystals were like treasures.

One group had placed diesel fuel in front of their stall, and there was even a car full of it parked behind them. Chen Luos eyes lit up. Despite having collected a fair amount of fuel and having some stored in his space ability, more was always better, especially considering the future need for power generation.

Chen Luo approached them and asked, How much for it?

The leader of the group, a young man, replied, One third-level crystal for a barrel, or three second-level crystals, and we dont dilute it.

No bargaining, please, he added.

Chen Luo gave a faint smile. Alright, Ill take it all.

The young man was surprised. All of it?

Most people wouldnt have much use for this diesel fuel, and it was relatively easy to collect a small amount with a bit of effort.

One of the men standing nearby said, We have 45 barrels here.

Chen Luo nodded to Chen Guang beside him, who took out a bag and shook it, counting out 135 crystals.

Chen Luo divided the crystals into 11 bags, each containing 1,000 crystals.

The young man and his companions stared in shock at the bags filled with crystals. It took their breath away.

What a tycoon! To have so many crystals, his power must be immeasurable, they thought.

Chen Luo chuckled inwardly, knowing that this was just a small portion of what he had.

The young man raised his thumbs up and said, Big brother, youre amazing, truly amazing. Lets consider it a friendly gesture. My name is Deng Xianhong, and you only need to give me 100 crystals.

Chen Luo waved his hand dismissively, No need.

Deng Xianhong was momentarily taken aback. Indeed, how could he expect someone like Chen Luo to care about just 35 crystals? His perspective was too narrow.

Deng Xianhong quickly added, Big brother, we just came to take a look. Selling oil was just an incidental thing. Consider this truck of oil a gift to you as a token of our friendship. We sincerely want to be friends.

What more could Chen Luo say? This person was so courteous and sweet-tongued.
