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

From the trading city, the most materials Li Ming obtained were not survival-related, but rather hardware and daily necessities. These included, but were not limited to, various cooking utensils, gas stoves, electric stoves, various light bulbs, electrical wires, and tools needed for electricians and other trades.

Among them, the most crucial acquisition was a large-scale solar technology company's store.

This store had impressive solar panel power generation technology, and the best thing about their company was the storage battery, which could store 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

In addition, he obtained many solar panels, which were directly packed up and taken away, along with a large number of inverters, fuel generators from the store, and various accessories for solar power generation.

Furthermore, there were many very expensive large appliances, both imported and domestic, and Li Ming didn't let any of them go, because even exchanging them for survival points with the system would be good.

After scavenging this place, Li Ming looked at the waterproof military watch on his wrist. It was already past eight in the evening. His group decided to set up camp directly in the trading city and camp there.

He roughly calculated that, based on the speed of the flood's rise, it would take at least half a month for the flood to rise to the sixth floor.

Li Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions, which were akin to a locust plague, because the survival materials he collected were not that many, and he had left a way out for other survivors.

However, if these survival materials fell into the hands of evil forces, he would also seize them by force.

Don't talk about not leaving others a way out. For Li Ming, the evil forces must die. If you ordinary survivors are not united, resulting in the materials being occupied by the evil forces, you deserve to starve to death!

He had no obligation to distribute materials to everyone for free. Even large-scale sheltering of survivors would have to wait until the disaster was completely stable and there were no more frequent disasters before considering it.

Even then, it wouldn't be free shelter. If you want to obtain food and other survival materials, you must work for me!

Li Ming and the others directly set up cold-proof tents, with cold-proof sleeping bags inside. This set of equipment alone was worth more than 200,000 yuan.

Then, more than 20 people started a bonfire in the trading city using solid fuel, boiling hot water, and began to eat the various delicious braised chicken legs and prepared dishes that Li Ming had bought before the disaster, which was very enjoyable.

Not long after eating, the group crawled into the tents and began to rest, leaving a few people to take turns on guard duty as a precaution.

The night passed without incident. The time came to November 15, 2025, the eighth day of the apocalypse. He woke up in the morning and performed his routine check-in.

"Ding, host check-in successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining Top-Level First Aid!"

Li Ming looked at the system's reward. To put it bluntly, having this first aid skill would make his ability to survive alone stronger, a very practical skill.

After eating breakfast, the group drove the speedboat straight to the Malga Ceramic Home Furnishing City.

This wave of scavenging directly yielded a large inventory of tiles and various ceramic bathroom products. In short, in his opinion, there was nothing useless, even a roll of toilet paper had its use.

After eating lunch, the group went straight to the Empire Steel Market, the largest steel market near this ceramic city!

The Empire Steel Market is a large market independently invested and constructed by the Empire Central Bank, integrating the sales and processing of various steels and special metal materials.

The scale of this large market can reach an area of 20 square kilometers, and the reserve of various steels inside is about 15% of the Empire's annual steel production, so the scale of this market can be imagined.

This steel market has a dedicated artificial canal connected to the sea port, and steel can be directly sold and exported from here.

Li Ming waved his hand, except for the three soldiers who were on night duty last night who rested on the boat, the rest of the soldiers, including him, all began to change into super diving suits with oxygen tanks.

The number of shops in the entire market reached more than 500, and this was the focus of Li Ming's scavenging.

After Li Ming dived into the water, he could only see the underwater situation clearly with the help of a waterproof flashlight. Basically, they were some factory buildings made of color steel tiles. When the typhoon occurred, the roofs of many shops were blown off by the typhoon.

The roofs of the shops were actually not deep underwater, about 1 meter.

Li Ming bit the regulator and began to swim down, and then began to scavenge the steel in this store.

The steel in this store was quite complete, with seamless steel pipes of various diameters, steel plates of various thicknesses, as well as a large number of steel coils, various types of steel bars and other steel materials.

In addition to these things, there were also more than 600 large plastic sealed barrels. The system identified the contents of these sealed barrels as various rare metal materials known as industrial MSG. The value of these 600 large barrels of rare metals alone was considerable.

Moreover, the sealing was done very well, so it was not affected by the flood, which directly benefited Li Ming.

These various rare metals alone had already made Li Ming ecstatic. It was so damn good.

What was even more wonderful was that in addition to rare metals, this store also had a large amount of metal materials such as lead, tin, copper, and aluminum. In addition, Li Ming also found a full 20 rolls of tinplate!

Tinplate is the packaging material for iron can cans. This material is stable, harmless to the human body, and also antioxidant, so it is a rare good thing.

In addition to these steel and other materials, there were also a large number of metal cutting and processing machinery and equipment, such as laser cutting processing equipment, welding equipment, etc., which were very complete.

The others also had good harvests. Li Ming and the others scavenged this place for a whole day, and each person consumed 4 bottles of oxygen before they finished scavenging.

Although it was very hard, everything was worth it. Li Ming obtained a full 70 million tons of steel, 5 million tons of copper, 2 million tons of aluminum, 2 million tons of lead, and about 500,000 tons of other miscellaneous metal materials in this market.

He obtained about 50,000 tons of various industrial MSG and the like. After a hundred-fold increase, Li Ming's harvest here would be terrifying.

He found an office building nearby and began to camp and rest.

Two consecutive days of scavenging made Li Ming feel a little tired, so the group crawled into their sleeping bags and began to rest after eating dinner.

Nothing happened that night. On the 16th, Li Ming directly contacted the other special forces teams via walkie-talkie to inquire about the situation.

"All teams, all teams, this is Eagle One, please report your situation!" Li Ming asked.

"Team 1 received, the operation is currently going smoothly. We have successfully obtained the collection of books from two university libraries, related electronic research data, experimental equipment, and desks and chairs from the classrooms, etc., as well as the inventory of a steel market and a building materials city!"

Then Team Two reported, "Team 2 is all going well, we have harvested the collection of books from two university libraries and all the computer hard drives and other equipment. In addition, we have also collected a large number of desks and chairs, and also collected all the inventory of a large steel market."
