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

Li Ming and the others, wielding their strong, waterproof flashlights, carefully examined their surroundings, dimly making out dozens of dark objects within.

The group began to move the bottles out. Li Ming was incredibly strong, and the other special forces soldiers possessed excellent endurance and stamina. They started passing the bottles out, one by one, and the special forces soldiers on the inflatable boat used their interdimensional pockets to store each one.

Li Ming counted about 86 bottles of liquefied petroleum gas. Not bad, a very good haul. Just as the group was about to retrieve the last few bottles, they heard the sound of an inflatable boat engine.

Li Ming was already on the boat. He picked up his binoculars and began to observe. Sure enough, using the night vision binoculars, he saw seven or eight inflatable boats approaching. He immediately issued the order, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

At his command, all the soldiers took out their AKMs from their waterproof backpacks, quickly racked the bolts, and switched off the safeties.

Soon, about 40 people surrounded them.

This group was armed with steel pipes, machetes, and homemade maces. One of them shouted, "We've contracted this liquefied gas station. Smarten up and hand over what you salvaged."

At that moment, a sharp-eyed underling noticed the diving suits on Li Ming and three or four others. "Boss, they seem to have diving suits and oxygen tanks!"

"Hahaha, make them salvage everything and hand it over to us. They can also leave the inflatable boat and other supplies. I might consider letting you go!"

These people all had menacing faces, and one even revealed a tattoo on his wrist. They were a bunch of scumbags. They completely disregarded what Li Ming and his group thought, as if everything was under their control!

Li Ming smiled coldly and directly gave the order through his headset, "Kill!"

All the soldiers suddenly took out their AKMs from the boat and began to spray bullets at the group. The distance between them was less than 50 meters, and it was too dark to clearly see what Li Ming and his men were holding.

But when the gunshots rang out, the group realized they had encountered ruthless individuals.

Amidst the light clatter of ejecting bullet casings, the thugs were turned into bloodied messes by the bullets, some falling directly into the floodwaters from the boats.

Some were hit and collapsed on the inflatable boats, while others had their heads directly hit by the 7.62mm rounds, their skulls blown open, brains and blood splattering all over the boat.

In just one round of shooting, more than 30 members of this gang of over 40 thugs were killed. The remaining few finally realized that these guys had guns!

Three of the eight inflatable boats were immediately riddled with holes and started taking on water, and everyone on board fell into the flood.

The shooting was brief. All the soldiers aimed their guns at the remaining five inflatable boats. At this time, the seven or eight surviving thugs on the boats all raised their hands and cried out, "We surrender, don't shoot!"

"Clang!" Li Ming and seven or eight special forces soldiers immediately put away their guns and drew the sabers from their waists. These sabers had sword-shaped tips, but they were real sabers, a type of horizontal saber specifically designed for killing.

The blade's spine was 8mm thick, made of special alloy material, capable of cutting through steel pipes as if they were toys.

Li Ming and the others boarded the opposing boats. The surviving thugs were terrified out of their wits. "B... Big Brother, spare... spare our lives!" They were trembling with fear. It was too terrifying. In less than half a minute, over 40 people had been reduced to just seven or eight survivors.

Li Ming placed his saber against a thug's neck. The cold, sharp blade sent shivers down the thug's spine. "Big Brother, we've already surrendered!"

Li Ming sneered, "Now you feel like your eyes are much clearer, don't you? I don't think you're afraid of us at all, but you know you're about to die!"

"Big Brother, we have no choice, we're just trying to make a living!" a thug kowtowed.

"Heh, just a bunch of scum. How can people like you be changed? No, you'll never change. Only death is your best destination!" After saying that, Li Ming slashed his blade, instantly slitting the thug's throat. The other special forces soldiers immediately took action and quickly killed all the thugs on the boats.

After wiping the blood off the blades with the thugs' clothes, all the thugs' bodies were thrown into the floodwaters. After collecting the five inflatable boats and the gas tanks, Li Ming and his group continued to advance.

They swaggered so blatantly, with horizontal sabers hanging from their waists. Along the way, some nearby survivors or thugs, seeing the AKs on these guys, widened their eyes.

It would be a lie to say they weren't envious, but looking at Li Ming's group, a full sixteen of them, with sabers hanging from their waists in addition to the AKs, it was clear they were not to be trifled with. So everyone wisely chose not to provoke Li Ming and the others.

After all, everyone was just trying to survive, not looking for death. These black-hearted forces were evil, not stupid!

They soon arrived at the market established by the Revival Society. People with guns were maintaining order outside. They immediately noticed the AKM assault rifles on Li Ming and the others. This was military-grade weaponry.

Although it wasn't currently the standard issue weapon of the Celestial Brilliance Empire, they knew the power of this thing.

"Sir, could you hand over your guns for us to keep?" a staff member said.

Li Ming glanced at the person and said indifferently, "If I hand the guns over to you, will I get them back? These are our self-defense weapons and absolutely cannot be handed over."

Li Ming's killing intent was strong, and he released it directly, instantly causing the staff member in front of him to break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, the staff member was certain that this young man had really killed people!

"Sir, this is our rule here. You can carry cold weapons for self-defense, but you cannot carry firearms and ammunition, otherwise, it is easy for some uncontrollable situations to occur!" the staff member said, forcing himself to remain calm.

"Who are you guarding against? Since you don't allow guns, it doesn't matter. I'll leave four or five people to watch our guns. They can stay outside and watch the boats. Will you let us in this time?" Li Ming asked quietly, narrowing his eyes.

At this moment, Li Ming was like a cobra, his tone also a little cold. His patience was not that great!

Just as the staff member was about to speak, an older middle-aged man, sensing something was wrong, smiled and said, "Sir, as long as you don't bring guns inside, it's natural that you can leave them outside to watch them."

"Heh!" Li Ming smiled, "You know how to handle things, you're a smart man!"

With Li Ming's laughter, the tense atmosphere at the scene eased.......
