Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Bountiful Harvest
Alex’s intentions were clear.

With so many survivors selling experience points, and the demand for supplies mainly revolving around water, food, and Molotov cocktails, Alex immediately thought of auctioning.

This way, he could maximize his profits.

In the group, Alex explained, “Everyone, I don’t have many supplies on hand, but I sincerely want to do business with you all. Since no one has given me a price yet, I’m afraid of being taken advantage of! Please bear with me!”

Felix: “So, you’re suggesting that we set the price ourselves, and the highest bidder gets to trade with you?”

Alex: “Exactly! Dealing with smart people is easy!”

Tony: “Then why should I sell experience points! Auctioning them off, just for you to benefit! I can’t believe it!”

Alex smirked at this survivor’s message.

Then, he sent a message in the group: “Sure, feel free, I won’t stop you. But let me kindly remind you, once this opportunity is gone, there won’t be another chance. Whether others will agree to exchange experience points for supplies is still uncertain.”

The people pulled into the group fell silent.

They knew Alex was speaking the truth.

Although they were not happy with this coercive way of self-exploitation.

But as Alex said, most survivors wouldn’t choose to trade large amounts of supplies for experience points.

Certainly, many survivors realized that experience points might be very useful in the future.

However, not everyone was as wealthy as Alex, with abundant infinite supplies.

So, why were these survivors who wanted to exchange supplies for experience points so readily joining the group?

Simply because only Alex accepted a large amount of experience points…

There was no other choice but to reluctantly accept it.

Tony: “Let’s get started quickly and finish early!”

Alex: “Bro, be open! Alright, let’s begin!”

“A hundred kilograms of rice and twenty liters of mineral water, starting bid at one hundred points, bidding increments by ten experience points each time.”

Felix: “I bid one hundred experience points!”

Hugo: “I bid a hundred and ten experience points!”

…

Alex: “Great! Congratulations to Felix for winning the auction with a bid of one hundred and eighty experience points. Come, let’s proceed with the trade.”

Alex completed the transaction with this survivor.

This was the first deal.

Just some food and water, exchanged for one hundred and eighty experience points.

For Alex, this deal was profitable.

Both sides got what they needed, so why not?

Alex: “Next up, we have a hundred Molotov cocktails, starting at fifty experience points, with increments of ten experience points for each bid.”

Tony: “I bid sixty experience points.”

Hugo: “Seventy points.”

Felix: “I bid a hundred experience points!”

…

Alex: “Congratulations to Mr. Hugo, for successfully winning a hundred Molotov cocktails with a bid of a hundred and ten experience points!”

After the transaction was completed, the auction continued.

“Moving on, we have a hundred loaves of bread, starting bid at thirty experience points, with increments of ten experience points for each bid.”

…

Alex: “Next, let’s proceed with the next round of bidding…”

Tony: “Wait, I don’t have any more spare experience points left, let’s call it quits here.”

Hugo: “Me too, I’ve used up all the experience points I hoarded for so long.”

Felix: “I’ve lost all the thousands of experience points I had. Let’s leave it at that, see you guys later!”

Alex: “Alright, that’s fine. If you ever have experience points to exchange for supplies in the future, feel free to come find me.”

The survivors agreed and then exited the supplies exchange group.

Alex counted his harvest with great joy.

He had obtained tens of thousands of experience points from these three survivors alone!

According to past experience, it should take eleven hundred experience points to go from level ten to level eleven.

And so on, cumulatively.

Tens of thousands of experience points weren’t actually that much.

The road ahead was long and arduous!

Alex sighed.

After all, he had to plan for the upgrades of three people.

With this in mind, he went online and exchanged a large amount of daily necessities for experience points.

One bottle of mineral water for one experience point.

One bottle of soy sauce for one experience point.

One bottle of Romanée-Conti red wine for ten experience points.

One bottle of antipyretic for ten experience points.

One Molotov cocktail for ten experience points.

…

Just at this moment, the armored vehicle was subjected to a severe impact.

Enemy attack?!

Alex grabbed onto nearby objects to prevent himself from being knocked over.

Mia and Olivia, who were already seated, were just shaken up a bit and were unharmed.

The impact was extremely intense.

It felt like being on a rollercoaster.

Alex instructed Mia and Olivia to prepare for combat inside the armored vehicle while he himself put on his combat gear, grabbed his combat robot, and rushed out.

” Twenty-Two, come with me to fight.”

“Yes, my master!”

Alex considered it might be zombies or other survivors.

Never did he imagine that after getting off the armored vehicle, he would face a mutated plant as thick as a python with vines.

As it turned out, the culprit behind the banging on the armored vehicle was it!

Thankfully, the armored vehicle was sturdy; if it were an ordinary vehicle, it would probably have been smashed to pieces by now.

” Twenty-Two, attack!”

As soon as Twenty-Two received the command, the blue light in its eyes immediately changed to red, activating combat mode.

With the devastating katana in hand, it swiftly charged towards the vines.

A flash of cold light, followed by a slash.

With just one long and narrow katana, it displayed an unstoppable momentum of bravery.

Clang!

However, the katana only made a metallic clang when it slashed on the surface of the mutated plant.

It left only a white mark on the surface of the vine, indicating that the skin of this vine was as tough as high-level defensive equipment!

Twenty-Two wanted to continue with a second strike, but was hit by other vines of the mutated plant, sending it flying backward.

In mid-air, Twenty-Two did a somersault, maintaining balance with the thrusters on its back, and retreated to Alex’s side.

“Master, the skin of this mutated plant is tough; physical damage may not be effective.”

Alex frowned.

“Try shooting again, target the inside of the vines and see if it has any effect.”

“Yes!”

Twenty-Two obeyed, taking out the submachine gun and activating the thrusters to attack the central position of the mutated plant in mid-air.

Rat-tat-tat!

The mutated plant seemed to feel pain, and several vines attacked Twenty-Two in mid-air simultaneously.

But with the powerful thrusters behind it, Twenty-Two could dodge flexibly.

It seemed that attacking the weak points of the mutated plant could still cause damage.

However, according to the intelligence gathered from other survivors earlier, the mutated plant had an extremely fast regeneration rate.

Even if it suffered some damage, it could fully recover by the next day.

There was no time to waste!

At this moment, Twenty-Two, maneuvering and dodging constantly in the sky, was starting to struggle.

Being caught off guard was only a matter of time.

Alex took out several Molotov cocktails from his backpack and threw them forcefully.

Perfectly, they hit the base of the vines where the mutated plant emerged from the ground.

Feeling the burning flames, the mutated plant swung its vines frantically.

Despite its mutation, its instinctual fear of fire remained.

The mutated plant retreated temporarily due to the burns.

Taking this opportunity, Alex quickly pulled Twenty-Two and ran back to the armored vehicle.

Stepping on the accelerator, they left directly.
