Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Mutant Plants
Alex continued, “So, we need to build as many combat robots as possible.”

“However, the production of Alloy A is still not high enough. It will take some time before we can continue production.”

Mia and Olivia nodded.

No one would complain about having more combat robots.

Speaking of resources, Olivia suddenly remembered something.

“Do you know, recently, the vegetation in the ruins of City 22 has been growing like crazy? In just a few days, it has grown into huge vines and towering trees!”

Alex and Mia were stunned.

They remembered the small green sprouts that had just emerged from the crevices of the ruins when they left City 22 a few days ago.

They didn’t expect them to be mutant plants.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

After the giant meteorite fell, everything withered away, except for these strange sprouts breaking through the soil.

That was enough to explain the problem.

Seeing that Alex and Mia obviously didn’t know about this, Olivia continued, “These rapidly growing creatures have spread rapidly to the entire East Eighth District. Now, there are also many mutant plants in City 25.”

Alex stroked his chin and asked with a frown, “Can’t they be burned by Molotov cocktails?”

Olivia shook her head.

“Molotov cocktails can only burn the bodies of these mutant plants, not their roots. But for now, Molotov cocktails are the best way to deal with these mutant plants. After all, they can temporarily alleviate the invasion of mutant plants.”

“This is a business opportunity!”

Alex clapped his hands together, feeling excited.

He was the man with unlimited gasoline and cotton; he could make Molotov cocktails himself.

At this time, there was a great demand for Molotov cocktails. Wasn’t this a perfect opportunity to make a fortune?

Olivia nodded without hesitation, “Exactly, this is a business opportunity!”

“If you have sufficient Molotov cocktails on hand, you can sell some during this period. The demand for Molotov cocktails is skyrocketing right now. The average price on the trading platform has almost doubled.”

Mia also said, “I have some Molotov cocktails here. Do you want me to put them on the trading platform too?”

Alex stopped Mia and said, “No need, I have plenty on hand. You don’t need to sell them. I’ll take care of it.”

Then, Alex bought thousands of glass bottles on the trading channel to make Molotov cocktails.

It was more than enough.

At the same time, Alex opened the chat channel to observe the reactions of these survivors.

Gregory: “These mutant plants are terrifying. Their destructive power is too shocking. Neither knives nor guns can harm them! The skin is as hard as a wall. A teammate who temporarily joined my team was directly pierced by the trunk of a mutant plant in front of me…”

The suburbs of City 25 were the closest to the ruins of City 22.

Therefore, the spread of mutant plants was also the fastest.

Albert: “Indeed, even if Molotov cocktails are used, it’s just a temporary measure. These mutant plants can’t be killed by burning! With its growth speed, I estimate that by early the next morning, the branches and vines that you burned off would have grown back.”

Scarlett: “Ugh… it’s too hard. I find that my fate is really rough. I inexplicably came to the end of the world, got hit by a meteorite while fighting zombies, and now I encounter mutant plants!”

Neil: “Huh, isn’t it because you guys are useless?”

“We survivors of City 25 can easily deal with these mutant plants. If it weren’t for the fact that the central city still hasn’t been overrun by mutant plants, we would definitely show you our strength!”

The survivor from City 25 was not very polite to these sheltered survivors, always feeling that they were too weak.

But soon, survivors from the ruins of City 22 came out to refute.

Warren: “You can cut the crap! I’ve met your so-called local survivors before. They are just as well-equipped as me, and the mutated plants are nothing. But what happened? They just ended up getting killed. What are you pretending here for?”

Tony: “The price of Molotov cocktails on the trading platform has gone up… Damn it, can’t afford it anymore! Let me ask you all, anyone willing to exchange experience points for Molotov cocktails!”

Felix: “Me too! I don’t have much supplies on me, just hoarded a lot of experience points. Anyone wanting experience points, I’ll take some food and drinks, and if there are Molotov cocktails, even better…”

Tony: “Damn, are you intentionally trying to steal my business, kid!”

Felix: “It’s not like only you hoarded experience points. Right now I have no supplies, so it’s not unreasonable to obtain supplies through gifting experience points, right?”

Hugo: “Then in that case, adding me shouldn’t be a big deal, right? I also have plenty of experience points to exchange for Molotov cocktails, hehe…”

Alex looked at these messages on the chat channel and roughly understood the coverage area of the mutated plants now.

It seems that the outskirts of City 25 have already been completely covered.

This was just within a few days.

The entire city was engulfed by mutated plants, it was only a matter of time.

Seeing survivors proposing to use experience points as an exchange for supplies, Alex was somewhat tempted.

For things like Molotov cocktails, generally, you can’t exchange for anything good.

At most, it would be some food and water.

These things, Alex didn’t lack.

But experience points, in this uncapped period, Alex wanted to get as much as possible.

Although killing zombies could also get experience points, if a problem could be solved with money, why not make it easier?

Moreover, there were also Mia and Olivia.

They too needed a large amount of experience points.

If the level cap was lifted in the future, Alex might level up quickly, but Mia and Olivia would definitely not be able to keep up with his pace.

On this point, Alex also needed to plan ahead and accumulate a large amount of experience points for them.

So, Alex privately messaged those survivors who needed to exchange supplies for experience points.

“Hello, I’m Alex, interested in selling experience points?”

“Brother, I just saw you on the chat channel saying you want to exchange Molotov cocktails for experience points. I have a lot of Molotov cocktails here, shall we make a big deal?”

“I have supplies, you have experience, want to trade?”

…

Alex quickly sent messages to several survivors.

After getting clear replies from them, Alex added these survivors to a group.

Felix: “Huh? What’s this group for?”

Tony: “Didn’t we say we’re trading supplies? Why add me to a group? Seems like direct trading would be fine, no need for a group!”

Hugo: “Did I accidentally join a scam group?”

Alex: “Welcome everyone to my experience points exchange for supplies auction group! Welcome all sellers!”

Everyone: “???” Hey, what kind of operation is this!
