Chapter 25 Emergency! New feature - My Faith!

The more Su Yi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly closed the ranking data in silence, quickly logged into the trading platform, and started searching for orders related to weapons and bullets.

After filtering the search conditions, Su Yi was surprised to find that the price of relevant orders today had soared several times!

The day before yesterday, he was able to buy 100 rounds of ammunition with only a few bottles of ice water and some medicines. Today, the seller's reply was indeed: the price is not enough!

The lowest price the seller wants is 10 bottles of ice water, plus 20 kilograms of shelf-stable food or 20 boxes of commonly used medicines.

This much material can be exchanged for 100 rounds of the most common pistol bullets.

As for other bullets, they are not for sale!

We don’t sell grenades either!

Only pistol bullets, pistols, and body armor are for sale!

Su Yi consulted several sellers and found that the prices were quite different.

It seemed that in just one day, this group of people had discussed it and raised the price one after another!

"Strange, why has the price become so expensive?"

Su Yi frowned. He opened the city area chat channel, searched for keywords such as weapons and bullets, and checked the chat history information. He really discovered some clues.

"...It's so annoying. Today's bullets are so expensive that I can't even afford them. I finally saved up some resources to buy a gun for self-defense, but it turns out it's not enough!"

"It is said that there have been too many gun battles in the city in the past two days, mostly due to competition for supplies, and some people even deliberately massacred weak shelters... Sellers who control firearms decided to control shipments, not wanting humans to kill each other. "

"Nonsense, I don't believe this reason. They clearly want to support their troops and respect themselves!"

"It's not that serious. There are still good people. My female neighbor next door was rescued by the rescue team yesterday. Unfortunately, their supplies were limited and they couldn't save too many people."

"People's hearts are unpredictable in the apocalypse... Hey, I feel more and more that there is no difference between this post-apocalypse and the pre-apocalypse."

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Think about it, before the apocalypse, I worked hard for decades to buy a house, but the house prices were rising every year, and I was always a little short of getting a car; after the apocalypse, I worked hard to save resources to buy a gun for self-defense, but the result was that every time I was just a little short. Only then can I buy it.”

"You can tell me with your conscience, is it the same before and after the apocalypse? Has my situation changed at all? I'm still at the bottom of the fucking society!"

"Fuck! Then isn't this doomsday in vain?"

...

The survivors in the city area complained about this problem yesterday, but Su Yi was resting after the war at the time and did not notice it immediately.

In the past few days during the apocalypse, survivors throughout the city had become accustomed to using online trading platforms to exchange what they had, and to exchange urgently needed supplies with each other to improve the overall hope of survival.

There are even some good people with a Holy Mother heart who distribute supplies for free or sell supplies at low prices to help others.

But not long after, the atmosphere of the entire trading market changed!

The Holy Mothers are gone, and low-priced supplies are gone... Whether it's drinking water, food, or even weapons and equipment, the prices have increased several times!

The more hard currency supplies are necessary for survival, the more expensive they are.

Non-essential supplies such as toilet paper, toothbrushes, and cigarettes are very cheap, but no one cares about them.

We are all at a critical moment of life and death. We all have one meal but no one. Who cares about the quality of life?

Su Yi also had a headache when facing this problem. The cost of the transaction he originally used was ice water, but now it seems that ice water is no longer a necessity in the eyes of the survivors in the city.

After all, there is too little ice water. Currently, only Su Yi can produce it stably, but only 10 bottles a day.

Even if all 10 bottles are sold, placed in the demand market of the entire city, they are just a drop of water under the scorching sun and have no effect at all.

Everyone has long regarded ice water as a special scarce commodity and a luxury item, and the demand for it has dropped rapidly.

"Is it possible that I'm going to take some expired food in exchange for bullets?"

Su Yi thought about it and tried to communicate with the sellers, but found that they were quite picky!

Many foods that are not easy to store are not expensive at all, only half the price of shelf-stable foods.

"It's only been a few days, why have everyone become so smart!"

"You're all trying to take advantage, right? OK, I won't buy it!"

Su Yi gave up.

He didn't want to suffer a loss, and Su Yi already had a rifle with unlimited bullets, so his need for weapons and equipment was not too urgent, so there was no need to be taken advantage of.

"But I have to buy something, right?"

Su Yi looked at the list on the table, where Jiang Xiaoci listed some of the foods that were about to expire and spoil last night.

If these things are not disposed of in time, it is a huge waste to let them rot.

eat?

Totally unable to finish it!

There are only four people in the shelter, but the amount of supplies stored is enough for dozens of people to survive for a week.

Even if Su Yi lets everyone eat freely, they still won't be able to finish the food.

After all, the three people except Su Yi are all women. How much appetite can a woman have? The best one is Lin Yue.

"If that doesn't work, just buy some cigarettes or something. They're cheap. I haven't smoked in several days."

Su Yi thought about it, and he felt that it was a bit wasteful to do so.

While others are still worried about hunger, I am already considering whether to stock up on a few cartons of cigarettes to satisfy my spiritual needs.

Just when Su Yi was thinking about what to buy, there was a burst of noisy voices downstairs.

It sounded like there were many people gathered downstairs!

"What's going on?"

Su Yi was startled. He rushed to the window and looked down through the gap in the curtains.

He saw a group of women standing downstairs. They were the group of women he had driven out yesterday and one of the original residents of the building.

"Go and come back?"

Su Yi frowned. His eyes noticed that Lin Yue was also standing among the women.

She faced the crowd with a gun, seemed to be comforting the women, and then turned to walk towards the residential building and opened the door in a special way taught by Li Ya.

After a while, the sound of Lin Yue going upstairs came from the corridor outside the door.

At the same time, a new prompt message appeared in front of Su Yi.

[Attention! The talent unit "Lin Yue" you sent out triggered a special event and returned to the shelter in advance! 】

"Trigger a special event and return early?"

Su Yi raised his eyebrows and murmured: "Is this another new mechanism? If I return early, will the amount of materials explored be affected?"

Su Yi didn't know. He didn't know much about the mechanism of dispatched exploration.

Judging from the behavior of Lin Yue bringing back these women, the dispatch mission seems to be similar to the survivors looking for supplies outside. The dispatched people will search for supplies within a certain range, and the surviving humans don't have to do it themselves.

After a while, Lin Yue opened the door and appeared in front of Su Yi.

"Chief!"

Lin Yue's voice was crisp and saluted Su Yi.

"It's not dark yet, why did you come back early?"

Su Yi looked at Lin Yue calmly: "What happened?"

"Yes, Chief."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in her heart, and reported tentatively: "While I was on the way to perform the mission, I found a group of thugs not far from the shelter committing brutal acts against a group of innocent women."

"As a soldier, I have the duty to protect the people, so..."

"So you repelled the thugs and brought the women back."

Su Yi opened the curtain again, glanced down, and said lightly: "You should know that I drove them out."

"I know, Chief."

Lin Yue lowered her head, her tone was a little hesitant, she tried Li tried to explain the matter: "I don't want to violate the order of the chief, but... they are really pitiful."

"I know that when performing a mission, we can't be unnecessary soft-hearted and kind."

"But Miss Jiang mentioned to me last night that if we meet the right person on the way to the mission, we can take him back to the shelter. She said that our shelter also needs more fresh blood."

"She didn't specify which people to take... So, I feel sorry for them, chief... I'm sorry."

Lin Yue lowered her head, and she became less and less confident as she spoke, and became dejected: ".... I'll let them go now."

"Not really."

Su Yi waved his hand and sighed slightly.

It seems that Jiang Xiaoci is smart. He has been considering the plan to develop the shelter since last night, and he is sure that he can successfully convince himself today.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaoci also saw Lin Yue's character. Although Lin Yue is a talent unit of the shelter, in fact, Su Yi thinks that he is no different from a living person.

He repeatedly believes that this group of talents is actually no different from humans in essence, and Lin Yue's talent background is a Chinese soldier.

From this point of view, Lin Yue has the awareness and action to stand up and help the weak.

Dare to sacrifice and protect the people.

These eight words are the best portrayal of Chinese soldiers.

She did this, and Su Yi couldn't say anything. Every talent has his own characteristics.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaoci's words at noon, Su Yi would at most ask Lin Yue to drive these women away again.

But now, it's different.

"Go find Jiang Xiaoci."

Su Yi turned around, drew the curtains, and whispered: "She will deal with these women."

"Chief, will we... kill them?"

Lin Yue was a little nervous, holding the rifle tightly in her hand. Su Yi noticed her little movements and couldn't help laughing.

"Lin Yue, if I ask you to kill them, will you do it?"

"Chief, I... I don't know."

Lin Yue panicked immediately. She widened her beautiful eyes and stared at Su Yi in disbelief. She couldn't believe that the person she was loyal to would be a cruel tyrant.

"Will you shoot?"

"Military orders... Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"

Lin Yue was stiff all over, muttering: "To die as a token of my guilt."

She could not accept that she might shoot innocent people, which violated her principles as a soldier.

"You look conflicted."

Su Yi smiled: "I won't give this order, go find Jiang Xiaoci, she will take in these women, she knows how to arrange it."

"Chief, I...ah! You agreed!"

Lin Yue was immediately surprised, looking at Su Yi with her beautiful eyes flashing, her expression was very unexpected.

"Do I look like a murderer?"

Su Yi was puzzled, Lin Yue opened her mouth and shook her head fiercely: "No, you are not, you are the greatest leader in my mind!"

Can still lend a hand to innocent people even when they are in the most difficult environment.

Such behavior can most impress Chinese soldiers.

"Okay, I'm not great, I also have my own plans."

Su Yi waved his hand. He was not as good as Lin Yue said.

There are too many supplies in the shelter now. Instead of wasting them, it is better to raise more people to work.

It is better to raise a group of women than a group of men. The threat and variables will be slightly lower.

"Go, find Jiang Xiaoci."

"Yes, Chief!"

Lin Yue turned and left excitedly. She wanted to tell the poor women downstairs the good news.

"Am I taking advantage of this?"

Su Yi looked downstairs through the curtains and murmured: "But at least I can provide security. It can only be regarded as taking what we need."

"In this way, I am not too bad. Doomsday has not completely changed me."

Su Yi's self-talking voice has not fallen yet, and a new prompt message suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Congratulations! Special event for excellent completion of the dispatch mission! ]

[Your talent unit "Lin Yue" is greatly motivated and gets a new talent characteristic "My Faith"! ]

[My Faith]: Talent characteristic. She received sufficient motivation, the people she was loyal to strengthened her beliefs and pursuits, and she had the opportunity to break through and become a higher level of talent.
