In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits
#33 - Chapter 33 Market Conditions
Li Ming's words were quite interesting. Frankly, the initial staff member was a bit too rigid, actually wanting to confiscate Li Ming and the others' rifles.
In contrast, this middle-aged man was much more sensible, not confiscating their weapons. Frankly, they weren't officials and had no right to confiscate firearms and ammunition.
"This old brother, you're much better at handling things. To be honest, the way this brother spoke earlier, I almost thought you were the official government.
I was just thinking, how could a civilian organization like yours want to confiscate our firearms and ammunition? Do you really have that authority?" Li Ming's words were soft but firm.
"This young brother, firearms and ammunition are strictly controlled by the Empire. We can't allow you to bring such things inside.
However, considering the need for self-defense, melee weapons are allowed," the middle-aged man simply explained, not saying too much.
"Brother, you're a wise man. These days aren't peaceful. On the way here, our group encountered robbers. If it weren't for our powerful weapons, we would have become corpses in the flood!" Li Ming laughed.
"Yeah right!" the middle-aged man thought to himself after taking a deep look at Li Ming.
With them so openly carrying AKMs, how desperate would someone have to be to try and rob them?
Li Ming and the 8 soldiers, carrying backpacks, walked into the market, passing through layers of checkpoints before finally entering the communications building.
Watching Li Ming and the others enter the building, the man, who was about the same age as Li Ming, asked, "Captain, why did you let him in? Why didn't you confiscate their guns? We are the police, and the Empire doesn't allow private individuals to illegally possess firearms!"
"Xiao Feng, this natural disaster is nationwide. Do you think there is still order within the Empire?" The middle-aged man's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, he said quietly.
"Ah?" The man called Xiao Feng exclaimed.
The middle-aged man straightened Xiao Feng's clothes and said, "Xiao Feng, we can't even control the entire city of Malga now. Our strength is too weak.
Judging from the actions and demeanor of this group of people, they are all well-trained soldiers. These soldiers are very strong in combat. We all have families, is it really necessary to risk our lives against them?
"And although they have guns, they are just carrying them. They don't seem like the type to randomly use guns and kill innocent people. Frankly, this group of people still has discipline. We don't need to clash with them.
"It's not like the past. In the past, we relied on the powerful strength of the entire Empire to control law and order.
Now, government officials at all levels of the Empire have suffered heavy casualties. We need to consider many things if we want to do something for everyone, because we don't have the Empire as our backing anymore!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Xiao Feng's face looked bad, "Captain, what should we do? I'm confused!"
"Child, we only need to act with a clear conscience.
Talking to that young man earlier, I felt that he had indeed killed people, but my intuition tells me that the other party should be a private military organization. He doesn't seem to like the dark forces!" The middle-aged man scratched his chin with his finger and said.
"Ah?"
........
Li Ming and his group entered directly from the third floor. At this time, there were actually many people setting up stalls on the third floor, trading things with each other. There were many people buying things here, especially buying grain.
Although the Rejuvenation Society sells grain to the public, it is subject to limited sales. Each person can buy half a kilogram of grain with their ID card. Much of this grain is salvaged from the water, soaked, and then sold after drying.
The price is not cheap, 1000 yuan per half kilogram!
Seriously, if this price were before the doomsday, countless people would have smashed the entire store. This is simply a black-hearted merchant.
But this is not before the doomsday, this is the end of the world. It's good to have something to eat in the doomsday.
Even this half kilogram of soaked grain for 1000 yuan is not something everyone can buy.
There is a limit every day. From this point of view, the Rejuvenation Society is still willing to sell these grains in limited quantities, and 1000 yuan per half kilogram is not expensive, not only not expensive, but very conscientious.
Compared with your life and the lives of your family, which do you think is more valuable?
Of course, there is also a threshold for buying this grain. The threshold is that you have to find a way to leave your building and get to this market.
To be honest, the flow of people in this market is really not small, at least it looks very popular.
It can be said that people who come here are basically here for food, and incidentally buy something else. Basically, all the food-related supplies on the entire market stall have been swept away.
At this time, anyone with a little brain will not hesitate to spend all the paper money on their body in exchange for supplies.
This is the choice of normal people. At this time, Li Ming is also like this. He went out to search for supplies and got 2 million, plus the 100,000 yuan or so of cash he had left. After taking out one bill as a souvenir, he took out the rest of the money and prepared to spend it.
At this time, there are basically only some stalls selling fur and clothes in this market, and some are selling some sundries, as well as various electrical appliances and department store supplies. In addition, what surprised Li Ming was that someone was selling filtered water.
10 yuan per liter of water, bring your own container.
Li Ming thought of the floating corpses in the water and couldn't help shaking his head.
Li Ming saw that there were people selling fur, and the price had risen a little, but not much. A mink coat only cost 60,000 yuan!
And there are men's and women's styles. Li Ming directly asked people to take out banknotes from their backpacks and wrap up all the mink coats in the store.
In addition to the remaining dozens of mink coats, he also bought a large number of down jackets, cotton clothes, waterproof jackets, cotton quilts, socks, thermal underwear, cotton shoes, gloves, etc., all swept away.
Just after Li Ming and others swept away these things, attracting the attention of many people, a middle-aged man's voice rang out, "This little brother, do you want to buy grain?"
Li Ming felt that this voice sounded so familiar.
Looking back, he found that it was actually Manager Zhang, his former general manager at Li's Fresh!
"Old Zhang?" Li Ming subconsciously called out.
Manager Zhang also recognized the young man in front of him at a glance, it was actually his previous boss!
"Li... President Li?" Manager Zhang said in surprise.
Two acquaintances met just like that......
