Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Too Late for Regrets
Shortly after returning to the villa area shelter, a system announcement was made.

“Dear survivors, in half a month, this world will be hit by a meteor shower, resulting in massive radiation and energy impact on the ground. The only way to avoid the meteor shower is to build an underground bunker.”

“The system will gradually distribute underground bunker construction blueprints to survivor mailboxes today, so please check your inbox. We hope all survivors can build underground bunkers in time before the meteor shower arrives, seeking survival!”

The system issued an announcement about the impending meteor shower.

It had been a week since Olivia observed the meteor shower.

Alex and his group had already built the underground bunker early on.

However, the system’s announcement came several days earlier than Olivia’s prediction.

This was not good news.

Other survivors were not aware in advance.

So, after receiving the system announcement, they were puzzled for a long time and couldn’t recover.

In the chat channel, many people were already feeling anxious.

They had been tormented by zombies and now faced another natural disaster.

And it was the terrifying meteor shower.

Remember, this is how the dinosaurs went extinct.

How could this not make people feel worried and afraid?

Survivor ID 948524: “Meteor shower… Ah, just in time for relief! I’m done playing, whoever wants to continue can! Hehe, enjoying the last moments of life.”

Survivor ID 435324: “Remember a while back when some brothers speculated about future natural disasters… I really want to say you’re a genius! Damn it, this time it’s a meteor shower, next time it might be earthquakes and tsunamis!”

“Hey, it’s miserable to struggle for survival every day, without any semblance of humanity!”

Survivor ID 352534: “Is the meteor shower small-scale or large-scale? How long do we need to hide in the underground bunker? And we don’t have enough supplies…”

Survivor ID 575673: “It’s really despairing…”

Survivor ID 756543: “Let’s put that aside for now, have you guys received the blueprints for the underground bunker construction?”

Survivor ID 548560: “Not yet, what’s going on?”

Survivor ID 967864: “Hehe, the conditions for building the underground bunker are S alloy.”

Survivors discussed in the chat channel how to survive the meteor shower disaster, and some began receiving blueprints for the construction of the underground bunker, understanding the sudden appearance of S alloy and its role.

Survivor ID 564533: “What? Say that again? What is the underground bunker made of?”

Survivor ID 345235: “I also received blueprints for the underground bunker construction, and it’s indeed S alloy! It requires 20 pieces of S alloy, and upgrades are possible later!”

“Damn it, I sold them all before.”

Survivor ID 764322: “Damn it, it’s all because of the nonsense from 10000 and 10010 before, now most of the S alloy has been bought by 10086.”

Survivor ID 645452: “Damn… the price of S alloy is about to skyrocket, looks like 10086 is going to make a killing!”

Alex was also very efficient, quickly putting up a lot of S alloy for sale.

He had hoarded quite a bit before.

Now, those small amounts on the trading platform couldn’t shake the price he set.

If someone undercut this price, they would be directly bought by Alex and his group, who were constantly monitoring the trading platform.

Then, they would adjust the price and list it again on the trading platform.

Of course, some people were picking up bargains.

But gradually, only a large batch of S alloy from Alex remained, listed as the first item on the first page.

And the selling price was twice the average price he bought them for!

Survivor ID 867431: “10086, be a human! Ten grenades, a handgun, two bulletproof vests, or a silver-level blueprint for one piece of S alloy, why don’t you just rob us!”

Survivor ID 346335: “Damn it, I hoarded over a dozen pieces of S alloy before, couldn’t resist and sold them all! Damn it, now with my entire fortune, I can only afford eight pieces at most, my mentality is collapsing!”

Survivor ID 989234: “Hey, what’s the point of saying these now, find a way to gather supplies to exchange for S alloy! There’s only half a month left until the meteor shower comes, if we don’t hurry up and build underground bunkers, we’ll really die then.”

Survivor ID 7564234: “Even if we exhaust everything to buy S alloy, what’s the use? After finally building the underground bunker, if we have no living supplies, we’ll starve and thirst to death in the underground bunker, even more frustrating!”

Alex had been watching the contents of the chat channel all along.

He had no mercy for these survivors.

On the contrary, he was more determined to stabilize prices and seize the opportunity to earn more supplies.

In this disaster, he only wanted to ensure the survival of his team of three.

The worst-case scenario of lowering prices out of soft-heartedness would be if other opportunistic survivors bought them and then resold them at a higher price.

Rather than letting others profit, it was better to be the first to benefit.

Whether the price of S alloy increased or decreased after selling it this time, it had nothing to do with him.

He had already set aside enough S alloy for future needs.

Alex spoke in the chat channel.

Survivor ID 10086: “Everyone, S alloy has been listed. This is a must-buy item, aren’t you planning to buy it?”

Survivor ID 353452: “I can’t afford it, can’t I gather it myself?”

Survivor ID 10086: “Brother, not to dampen your spirits, but collecting S alloy isn’t as simple as you think. I’ve been out so many times these days and only gathered a dozen or so pieces. Some of the situations were perilous, let’s not mention them. So I advise you, it’s better to exchange for S alloy early and survive this disaster of the meteor shower.”

Survivor ID 546342: “10086, can’t you make it cheaper?”

Survivor ID 10086: “No, as the saying goes, rarity makes things precious. With such a limited output of S alloy nowadays, if it’s not sold at a high price, it wouldn’t be fair to everyone.”

Survivor ID 677454: “10086, we’re all human, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution by being so ruthless?”

Survivor ID 10086: “I’ve heard enough of these words, it’s really boring. I only know that if I don’t gather enough supplies, I’ll starve and thirst to death. Besides, forget divine retribution, isn’t not building underground bunkers for this meteor shower also a form of divine retribution?”

Other survivors were completely helpless.

Obviously, Alex was firm and uncompromising.

He was a qualified survivor who wouldn’t show unnecessary sympathy.

Unless there were enough chips to sway him.

So, many survivors still softened.

After all, in the face of real crisis, what did supplies really matter?

Meteor showers could indeed kill people.

Previously, they could hide from zombies, but the system announcement was clear: only by hiding in underground bunkers could they survive the meteor shower.
