The resident of Unit 1 obviously hesitated at the door, and only opened the door after seeing through the peephole that Jiang Jiang was the only girl outside.

A few days ago, a home robbery occurred in the community, but before the robbers could take the goods home, they were caught by the patrol team. Sun Hui adhered to the principle of using severe punishments in troubled times. Even if the robber did not hurt anyone and just stole things, they still broke the person's legs. Now the man is still recuperating at home.

If someone is injured, it probably won't be as simple as breaking a leg.

After this incident, those people in the entire community who were ready to make some moves finally gave up. If they worked hard every day, they would not starve to death. They would just not have enough to eat or eat well. There was no need to risk their lives just for a little food.

If you really want to eat something delicious, you might as well go out and explore with a team and share the food openly.

The resident of Unit 1 was a middle-aged lady with curly hair. She was originally plump but became much thinner after the doomsday. She looked at Jiang Jiang with a tired face. It was obvious that she didn't have high expectations for this transaction, but she still asked, "I still have two gold bracelets, a gold necklace, and a piece of jade."

"But my price is not low. These are all left to me by my husband who died early. If my daughter wasn't still young and needed food, I wouldn't be willing to exchange them."

Jiang Jiang did not rush into the transaction, but said that he wanted to take a look at the goods first.

The curly-haired aunt did not suspect anything and moved aside to let Jiang Jiang enter the house.

After pouring a cup of hot water for Jiang Jiang, she turned and went into the house and took out a small wooden box.

Jiang Jiang didn't drink the water, but just held the cup with both hands, and the warm feeling spread from his palms to his body.

The curly-haired aunt opened the box and revealed what was inside, which were the gold bracelet and gold necklace she had mentioned before.

Jiang Jiang took the box, took out two gold bracelets and looked at them carefully.

"The invoice is at the bottom of the box. Take a look. All the information matches."

The curly-haired aunt was a little helpless. In fact, it was safest to trade with Sun Hui and his friends, but they looked down on this little thing. Even if they could trade, she could not accept the price they offered.

"I won't ask for anything. Two gold bracelets, plus a gold necklace, and five kilograms of grain."

Jiang Jiang shook his head, the price was a bit high.

She had food, but she couldn't let others bully her. There were so many people in need, and she couldn't help them all.

in business.

"Your price is too high. Gold is more than money now. Food is hard currency. I saw you sent out the message for exchange a few days ago, but you haven't exchanged it yet. Except for me, I guess no one is willing to exchange food for gold that can't be eaten or drunk. I'll give you two kilograms of fried rice. This is dehydrated and can be eaten directly."

The curly-haired aunt shook her head, thinking that the price was too low.

So the two of them went back and forth, grinding down little by little.

In the end, the price was set at three pounds of fried rice in exchange for two gold bracelets, a gold necklace, and an Australian white saltwater pearl necklace.

One hand paid the money and the other hand received the goods, and both parties were very satisfied with the result.

After getting the gold, Jiang Jiang immediately put on his backpack and headed to the next house.

After visiting three houses, Jiang Jiang's backpack was emptied of all the food and replaced with a pile of gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold rings, mixed with a few jade pendants, pearl necklaces, and a few diamond rings, but the latter were not valuable.

Before the end of the world, these things could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but all Jiang Jiang paid for was food that cost less than a hundred dollars before the end of the world.

However, after Jiang Jiang put these things into the space, he was still a little dissatisfied.

Firstly, there were too few people in the community who could exchange gold and silver jewelry. She went to several households in the morning and collected most of them.

Secondly, some residents raised the price and wanted to exchange more food for the gold price before doomsday. When encountering such people, Jiang Jiang didn't say much and just left.

After much deliberation, Jiang Jiang decided to ask Sun Hui for help.

The reward is the generator at home, and Jiang Jiang plans to use it to exchange with Sun Hui and others for all the gold, silver and jewelry they have collected.

For Sun Hui, this was a godsend. They had been worried about where to find a backup generator after the power outage, so Jiang Jiang delivered the goods directly to their door.

For Jiang Jiang, there is no need to take risks himself. He only needs to spend a little bit of money to stock up before doomsday, and he can gain a lot of hard currency that can be used as capital in the future world.

value.

On the fifteenth day of the apocalypse, power outages began.

Living in high-rise buildings, older residents seldom go out often.

Occasionally, a rumbling sound could be heard. It was the small generator that Jiang Jiang gave to Sun Hui and others working.

However, such electricity cannot supply all residents in the community, not to mention that the diesel reserves are insufficient. Sun Hui and his colleagues are saving electricity themselves.

All the buildings in the community were pitch black, with only a few simple light strips temporarily installed in the corridor downstairs flashing a faint light.

This is for patrol members.

All of a sudden, candles and flashlights became the new best-selling products in the community.

With the help of a few packs of candles, Jiang Jiang exchanged for a batch of jade pendants and gems from some people who went out to explore.

These things depreciate more easily than gold.

However, Jiang Jiang accepted everything, as long as it was a good thing, she would accept it.

As time went by, Sun Hui and his team would go to farther places every day to look for supplies. They would bring back not only food, but also all kinds of useful things.

During this short period of time, they converted a small truck specifically for transporting goods.

If this small truck comes back without anything loaded, the residents of the entire community will sigh all day long.

As the food harvest became less and less, Sun Hui and his team brought back more other things.

All kinds of jewelry that Jiang Jiang needs, all kinds of building materials for community infrastructure...

Before the water supply was cut off on the eighteenth day of the doomsday, a water pipe was built from the small lake to the community.

Therefore, after the water outage, the lives of residents in the community were not greatly affected.

As the days go by, the tender green buds grow vigorously. Compared to the uncertainty of whether there will be a harvest every day, the food in the land is obviously more important to everyone.

Many residents spontaneously packed up their home manure and used it to fertilize the crops, and many people also took a walk around the community to see if the seedlings had grown.

The twenty-third day of the end of the world.

An uninvited guest came outside the community gate.

A pregnant woman with a big belly fainted at the gate of Jinyuan Community.
