In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

"Generally speaking, as long as it's not heavy physical labor, a survivor can live for a day on a rice ball like this. Although it's called a rice ball, it's actually a dumpling made from mashed raw seafood mixed with some smuggled freebies or unpeeled cornmeal, wheat bran, and the like."

"Although the color isn't great, this thing can definitely keep you from starving to death. It's absolutely good stuff."

After Lu Xu finished speaking, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to chew.

Li Ming, after the system confirmed it wasn't poisonous, also cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth. While chewing, a fishy stench filled his mouth, almost making him spit it out.

But fortunately, he had served in the military and eaten many things during wilderness survival training, so he endured it and swallowed it.

How to describe the taste of this thing? It's salty and fishy. The texture is also due to the wheat bran and cornmeal, and it's raw, so this thing is definitely not delicious, and it's rough on the throat.

To be honest, it's really unappetizing, but Li Ming didn't dislike it.

In his dream experience, not to mention this thing, even protein blocks were scarce resources in the doomsday. No matter what, this thing still has a little grain in it, although not much, but it's better than protein blocks.

In any case, this thing is ultimately edible food. In the apocalypse, it's good to have something to eat, so what qualifications do you have to be picky?

After eating half of it, Li Ming commented, "The taste and texture are indeed not delicious, but the advantage is that it can be made easily and conveniently from local materials. Overall, it is a ration suitable for refugee survival."

"For the current refugees and survivors, it's good to have something to eat. It's a good thing to save lives in the apocalypse."

After finishing his comments, Li Ming immediately turned to Secretary Wang and instructed, "Immediately order some of the expiring seafood we have acquired to be made into this kind of rice ball and sold on the market for two points each. However, we need to make some improvements to this rice ball, and it needs to be steamed before it can be sold."

"Yes!"

A group of people continued to check the people's livelihood around the market. Suddenly, Li Ming smelled a very abnormal fishy stench, the degree of which could definitely make people sick.

Li Ming was a local of Malga City and was no stranger to the taste of seafood, but this fishy stench was definitely not normal.

Soon he saw someone pushing a wheelbarrow, and in the relatively dim light, he vaguely saw that there was a lot of smelly seafood on the cart, but this seafood was not being dumped, but was being pushed into a processing workshop two kilometers away from Li Ming's market.

"Lao Lu, what's going on? How can they do this so blatantly?" Li Ming's expression was not good.

"Chief, things from these small workshops can never enter our market, but the markets of the Renaissance Society, the Haisheng Base, the Cao family, and some privately traded small markets are the main channels for these things to circulate."

"After all, most of those who can do business in the market, except for a few truly powerful merchants, are refugees or some citizens of Malga with very sensitive noses."

"They don't have fishing boats, so they can only pick up dead fish or something on the beach or in the port. At first, they ate it themselves, and then it slowly became a business."

"In fact, other bases and markets know about these things, but everyone chooses to turn a blind eye, because no matter what, we still have to give the refugees a way to survive. We can't really let them starve to death, right?"

Li Ming sighed. He could already imagine how cheap these things would be after they flowed into the market. No wonder cheap things are popular and more in line with the consumption power of the people at the bottom.

There's a saying, refugees are simply not human!

This is not an exaggeration. When people's survival is threatened and even food and clothing become a problem, they will naturally do things that violate morality in order to survive, and even do things that challenge the bottom line of human morality.

Humans are essentially a kind of animal. When survival is facing a crisis, people will naturally revert to their ancestors, become beasts, and return to the animal side!

The Tianhui Empire has historical records: In the year of great famine, people ate each other.

Six words describe the difficulty of survival for ordinary people in ancient times. That was still in ancient times when there were natural disasters, but now this is a doomsday that is a hundred times more terrible than natural disasters.

After all, no matter what, even if there were natural disasters in ancient times, at least some government officials provided disaster relief or some wealthy households took out food to give porridge. Now that it's the end of the world, the whole world is finished.

It is impossible for everyone to rescue each other, because everyone lacks resources. In this case, doing some things is inevitable.

..........

A group of people strolled around for two hours and finally returned to the North Market office. As the person in charge of the North Market, Lu Xu was naturally the one who had the final say in the entire market.

At this time, the entire market was very busy, and people kept greeting Lu Xu along the way.

"Hello, Master Lu!"

"Hello, President Lu!"

"President Lu, you've worked hard!"

Greetings like these were endless, in short, the main thing was to be respectful.

After returning to the office, Li Ming said with a smile to Lu Xu, "Okay, President Lu has a very high reputation in this market!"

Lu Xu shook his head and smiled, "Chief, I'm just taking care of these industries for you. You are the real boss."

Just as the two were about to continue talking, a knock on the door rang.

"Who is it?" Lu Xu asked.

"President Lu, there is a businessman outside who wants to make a deal with you!" His assistant's voice came from outside the door.

"I see, I'll be right there! Take the other party to the reception room!"

.......

"Lao Lu, hurry up and go!"

"Yes!"

Soon Lu Xu came to the reception room. He naturally recognized the other party at a glance. The person who came to him was a second-hand dealer in the market, who was also a partner in Li Ming's market.

"So it's President Zhang. What business does Boss Zhang want to talk about with me?" Lu Xu asked strangely.

"Hey, President Lu, you are the boss. How dare I call myself the boss? Just call me Lao Zhang. This time I'm looking for you because a big businessman in the villa area wants to host a party and needs a batch of supplies."

Lu Xu was very strange. He knew Zhang Qing very well. Zhang Qing was a capable second-hand dealer. "Lao Zhang, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to get some supplies, right?"

"Alas, President Lu, they want a lot of supplies, I can't handle it!"
