"Yesterday, Tiger Brother took some people to Fourth Middle School to negotiate with a few bosses, and I went along, which is how I found out about this. Others have no idea at all. It is said that this time, the bosses have prepared some good stuff, like several hundred pounds of Mutant Pig, firearms and ammunition, and even Grenades!" Lin Shuai-bin said.
He told Shen Yuan that although the troops had opened up the exchange for firearms and ammunition, there were no Grenades or submachine guns on the exchange list, only handguns and such.
But there is a black market.
Anything that could possibly be obtained might appear on the black market. Moreover, the black market does not have a unified pricing system like the troops; it operates on a barter system. If both sides are interested, they trade—it's that simple!
Shen Yuan nodded silently.
He had originally thought about finding the troops early in the morning to turn in unused items and see if he could exchange for Rifle Bullets or Machine Gun Bullets.
But now, he decided to wait; perhaps the black market would surprise him.
"Bosses, all of you bosses, I've said everything I could. Can you spare my little life? From now on, any dirty work or hard labor can be handed over to me! Washing clothes and cooking is no problem! Massaging shoulders and backs is no problem! Running errands and doing odd jobs is no problem! As long as I get food!" Lin Shuai-bin said with teary eyes, looking as if he would cry if they didn't agree.
To be honest, Lin Shuai-bin actually looked quite good. He introduced himself as a highly educated student with a master's degree! However, his major was rather unfortunate—it was life sciences, which is said to lead to unemployment upon graduation...
Such a handsome guy looking all pitiful...
Unbelievable!
"I can't believe you previously claimed to be a famous host who got delayed by fighting? Now you're just a student? A graduate student? Studying how to live?" Chen Letian said in disbelief.
Lin Shuai-bin forced a smile: "Haha, well... we weren't familiar before... Alright, it's all my fault. Brother Tian, please don't hit me anymore; if you hit this face again, I'm done! I was just afraid of being bullied by Tiger Brother's people! Think about it—a student mixing with those tough guys? So I said I fought my way through society for ten years... Actually, I'm really a graduate student from a prestigious university; I'm already in my second year!"
Chen Letian sized him up for a while and then sneered: "You look at most twenty? A graduate student? Are you kidding me?"
Lin Shuai-bin quickly explained: "I'm already 21! I just have a baby face! As for being a graduate student... you know, there are always some people in this world who skip grades for fun..."
Chen Letian widened his eyes and looked at Lin Shuai-bin with irritation!
What does that mean?
Isn't it just saying that one is a genius? Damn, showing off is going to get you struck by lightning!
In the end, Shen Yuan spoke up, sparing Lin Shuai-bin's life, and then made him clarify everything he knew, such as which powerful Evolvers and Evolver groups were nearby, and what terrifying Mutant Beasts posed a threat, among other things.
Xu Lixing was seriously injured, and Wei Jiankang took him to the Box Truck to treat his wounds.
Taking down Tiger Brother and his group should have some deterrent effect, and things should be relatively calm in the coming days. Of course, necessary vigilance must still be maintained.
After all the commotion, everyone was tired, so they took turns keeping watch for their health while the others slept.
When they woke up, it was morning.
Early in the morning, Chen Letian prepared food, and Shen Yuan collected the handguns from the others, activated them one by one, and then returned them.
As time went on, the overall strength of Evolvers and Mutant Beasts grew stronger. Many Evolvers and Mutant Beasts could no longer be dealt with by ordinary firearms; activated handguns were needed instead.
Unfortunately, Automatic Rifles, Grenade Launchers, Machine Guns, and such couldn't be used without ammunition; otherwise, their power would surely be greater!
Seeing this scene, Lin Shuai-bin's small eyes widened in envy and jealousy!
However, he knew that no one would give him firearms or ammunition because he was just a captive—at most a valuable captive.
He secretly speculated that Shen Yuan's group was stronger than Tiger Brother's group; comparatively speaking, they were also more merciful than Tiger Brother's group since they wouldn't indiscriminately kill innocents. If he had to choose, being with Shen Yuan's group was definitely better than being with Tiger Brother's group.
He quietly resolved to perform well in order to gain these people's recognition and be treated as one of their own!
There was no other choice.
This is the apocalypse; as long as he could survive and live well, it didn't matter who he followed.
After breakfast, Shen Yuan went to the front of the truck to begin activating the truck's cargo compartment, driver's cabin, and tires.
Unfortunately, the Military Truck has been scrapped; the engine and everything else were destroyed. That vehicle was much better than this cargo truck!
Shen Yuan felt that if there was a chance, he would still want to get a military vehicle. Whether it was off-road capability or overall quality, it was far superior to ordinary vehicles!
At 10 AM, the Stone Carving Factory suddenly welcomed a group of guests, the newly established Public Security Forces after the Suicheng disaster. They arrived in a patrol Military Vehicle, led by a Squad Leader from the Public Security Forces, clearly here because of last night's fire.
In the end, the Squad Leader expressed the unit's stance: in principle, killing and looting were not allowed. However, considering that Shen Yuan and his group were targeted and had to fight back, they would let it go this time but warned there wouldn't be a next time.
Of course, everyone knew this was just a statement. In reality, the Suicheng Security Force didn't have many personnel to deal with the Mutant Beasts that were everywhere and to search for survivors in surrounding towns and villages. There was hardly any time left to maintain public order in all of Suicheng.
As long as it wasn't too excessive and didn't pose a threat to the troops, they would just turn a blind eye.
Subsequently, Shen Yuan asked about exchanging items with the military, inquiring if it was possible to trade for some good stuff like Machine Gun Bullets or Rifle Bullets.
While asking, Shen Yuan handed over a pack of cigarettes that cost 100 yuan each and had Chen Letian bring two bottles of Moutai priced at 1998 yuan.
The Squad Leader hesitated for a moment but ultimately allowed his subordinate to accept them. Then he pulled Shen Yuan aside and whispered, "Right now it's definitely not possible. However, I heard that recently there have been some Evolvers causing quite a stir in Jinling. The military is considering relaxing exchange policies and may adopt a Universal Military Rank System; the higher the rank, the richer the exchange list... though I don't know how true that is."
Shen Yuan nodded silently and then asked how long it might take to implement.
"It won't be too long; probably just one or two weeks. It won't drag into next month. Shen Yuan, let me tell you some news: some Evolvers are terrifyingly powerful; they can step on landmines without any issues! They can even take down ten-meter-long mutated crocodiles! The Jinling Military District has been forced to relax its policies! The Evolvers in Suicheng are still very weak!" The Squad Leader chuckled and then signaled his subordinates to wrap up.
