Apocalyptic Hero System

Chapter 141: Half a day of madness

The so-called clothing and food are the most basic needs for human survival. Without food, it means starvation. Many people regret not buying more food and storing it when there was food. Now the food in the market is suddenly gone. How can people live like this in the future?

Just when people were anxious, news suddenly spread that a new store had been opened in the market to sell grain, but the price of grain was eight times higher than before.

At this time, a person from an out-of-town gathering place came over and saw that there was grain for sale, but when he saw that the price was eight times higher than the normal sales price in the city, he frowned and stepped forward and asked: I said this brother , why is the price of food so high? Can it be cheaper!

You still think it's too high, but let me tell you, it's still low. Now in the whole city, our family is the only one who has food. And I tell you, the price of food will continue to rise. It will rise in the afternoon, and it will double. If you don’t want to buy it, make way for someone else!” The man sitting at the door of the store said arrogantly, as if someone outside owed him millions.

When the man heard this, he became even more confused. For these small bases outside the large gathering areas, although the interpersonal relationships are simpler, survival is more difficult. It is not easy to get some crystal cores. The big zombies can't afford to offend them, and they don't dare to. Damn, the small group of corpses have basically been cleaned up by mercenaries, and they don’t want to go to the mercenary association for fear of being disciplined, so the crystal cores in their pockets really have to be spent carefully. In the past, their crystal cores could not only be purchased With enough food, you can also update yourself with some equipment to better fight zombies. But the soaring food prices mean that the crystal cores in their hands are barely enough to feed them! If prices increase, I'm afraid we will return to our previous state of starvation.

Of course, there are many survivors like this one. Many people had a certain degree of trust in the base in the past two days. Even though they bought some high-priced grain, they did not buy much. And the civilians in the city did not store grain at all. habit. Unexpectedly, today's announcement dashed everyone's hopes.

Soon, a long queue formed at the door of the grain store. Many people took out the few crystal nuclei in their pockets and planned to buy life-saving grains before grain prices continued to rise.

While queuing up to buy grain at this grain store, another message came out, saying that the economy of Hunchun City was about to collapse. The top management of Hunchun City, represented by Li Yuanhong, was asking for help from everywhere, and even planned to flee with money to the north of Jishi. base.

The message spread quickly, and in just half a day, it became almost a household name. Although many people don't believe it, after all, Li Yuanhong led his people to conquer this base. Logically speaking, he should not abandon this hard-working base and become a second-class citizen on someone else's territory. However, food prices have been rising recently. Hunchun The city's inaction made many people feel a little disappointed, so many people took the time to start lining up to buy food.

Chen Yong was sitting in the office in the shop he had just rented and asked his subordinates: How is the sales outside?

Report to Company Commander Chen, there are many people, but there are still many waiting and watching.

What did I say? Call my boss outside. How many times have I told you that our current actions must be kept strictly confidential? Don't let the other party be wary!

Yes, yes, Chen Lian...Boss Chen! The people below quickly changed their words.

That's right. Keep an eye on things outside. Don't be anxious about food sales. Control the daily sales volume. Learn how to sell when hungry. Let them feel the food crisis. This will not only help us continue to increase prices, but also disturb their base. People’s hearts.”

Okay, I'll take note of it! the subordinate replied respectfully.

By the way, you must send people to keep an eye on the movements of this base and pay attention to their teams that go out to search for supplies. If you can't attract some zombies to disrupt their search for food, let us brothers also search for the people in their city. Where did those missing soldiers go?

Yes, those missing soldiers disappeared almost ten days ago. Will they interfere with our operations?

We're not afraid of 10,000, we're just afraid of the worst. We can't be careful. We messed up last time. If we mess up again this time, we don't have to go back!

Yes, yes, the boss is thoughtful.

But if this plan succeeds, the people in their base will be dissatisfied. As long as we send out tanks, the base will surrender obediently!

Then boss, will they come and steal our food?

If they dare to rob, it will give us a reason to attack him. Moreover, if they dare to rob, the fire things we buried in the warehouse will be useful. When the food is burned, their base will be in chaos. Faster!

Higher, still higher than the boss!

Okay, hurry up and keep an eye on it. Don't make any mistakes. By the way, if they don't sell grain in the afternoon, our grain prices will increase as planned. We must not only make back the losses we made before, but also make a lot of money. earn!

Yes, boss!

The time was watched closely by the residents of the entire city. It was one o'clock in the afternoon. People were paying attention to the market dynamics in Hunchun City. Chen Yong's store was also preparing to increase prices. Once there was no food sales in the market in Hunchun City, their food prices would definitely rise. The price will rise again.

As the market door opened, the notice in the morning changed again: From this afternoon, grain sales will return to normal!

This notice was like a bombshell, making the whole city boil.

I just said that our Captain Li is absolutely true to his word. Look, aren't they starting to sell grain? said a civilian.

Come on, who was the one who stood in line to buy food this morning and couldn't get it, so he was crying and making trouble?

Huh? Ah... isn't there sand in my eyes?

cut!

The arguments of passers-by would only add some excitement to the peaceful city, but at this time, Chen Yong's office was in a state of chaos.

What, they have food for sale? Chen Yong asked in shock.

Yes, that's what the people who were sent to keep an eye on them said when they came back.

Impossible, where did they get the food?

I don't know, are they using their last grain reserves to force us to lower prices?

Well, it's possible. How many crystal nuclei do we still have?

There are less than 10,000 crystal nuclei left. We just recovered more than 5,000 crystal nuclei from the food sales this morning.

Okay, take it out for me. We will take as much as they sell and see how much food they have left to compete with us. Chen Yong said fiercely.

The usually peaceful grain sales department ushered in a huge crowd today. To this end, Shangqiu Yuan specially mobilized some people and opened a few more trading channels to meet the trading needs. For a whole afternoon, the trading volume reached 300. Multi-ton, which is the total sales volume in the past two months. As the sun turned westward, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Chen Yong sat listlessly in the office and asked his subordinate standing in front of him: Are you sure their food supply has not been cut off?

Yes, I find it strange too. Logically speaking, they only have a dozen tons of grain surplus at most, but the people we watched there in the afternoon said that they sold at least nearly 300 tons of grain!

What? Three hundred tons? Do you know what three hundred tons means? That's ten days of consumption. If they have so much food, why are they purchasing it? Could it be that our intelligence is wrong? Do they have secret food? Library?

It shouldn't be! The people we sent in before said that their food was collected from nearby areas to support their base's own use, which was enough for more than a year. But that Li Yuanhong insisted on selling it to external parties, and there was no food at all. No matter how much is left, even if we don’t come to buy it, they themselves will be out of food in half a year!”

Okay, let's take a look tomorrow. By the way, let our people find out if they have a secret grain depot!

Yes, I understand! The subordinate turned around and left.

Chen Yong, on the other hand, has been sitting in the shadows, motionless.

In the evening, in the conference room of the Hunchun City Council, Li Yuanhong and cadres at all levels in Hunchun filled the entire conference room, and the table was filled with food, including canned braised beef, cabbage and vermicelli stew, and Russian A large plate of stir-fried red sausage and green vegetables, including canned fish. In short, the table is full. Although there is no fresh meat, these dishes are definitely not worse than before the apocalypse. Especially many people have not eaten like this for a long time. A luxurious meal.

Li Yuanhong stood up first and raised the wine glass in his hand. It was not a traditional Chinese liquor, but a red liquid. It was red wine produced in Russia. Li Yuanhong raised his glass and said: We have worked hard during this period. For the sake of food, I heard that many people have set a good example and did not rush to buy food. Some people even reduced the amount of food they purchased. Your presence has stabilized the hearts of the people in the city. Here, on behalf of all citizens, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work. , so that we can finally win this food war and gain time.

After saying that, everyone present stood up and raised their glasses together to celebrate the victory of this food war!
