Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: The Sheriff’s Threat
The water purifiers that Alex placed on the trading platform were very expensive, affordable only to a few large teams with spending power.

It was within Alex’s expectations that the Police Station would reluctantly purchase them.

After all, as the only large team in the current city, the Police Station had a terrifying daily water demand.

For them, large water purifiers were definitely cost-effective products.

Otherwise, the sheriff wouldn’t have bought two at once.

Facing the sheriff’s private chat threats, Alex couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated for him.

After all the hardships and sacrifices, trying to get his hands on the platinum-level supply crate, it turned out to be such a struggle.

First, it was plundered by the Dragon Soar and drug cartel teams.

Then, just when an agreement was reached, Alex pulled a fast one.

Thinking from the other side’s perspective, if he were in their shoes, Alex would surely chase down that person relentlessly.

So, he could somewhat empathize with the sheriff’s feelings.

Oh, he was the one who took the platinum-level supply crate, so everything was fine.

Alex sent the sheriff a smiling emoji, then typed a response.

“The platinum-level supply crate is indeed useful, offering plenty of great items. This water purifier blueprint is just average in comparison.”

The sheriff was furious, tossing the cup in his hand, and even from a distance, one could hear the grinding of his teeth.

He utterly loathed Alex.

If before, he merely feared Alex.

Now, he wished nothing more than to tear Alex apart.

“10086, don’t get too cocky. I won’t let you rest easy for long. Get ready to face the wrath of the Police Station!”

“I’ll make you understand, offending the Police Station is the biggest mistake of your life!”

The sheriff’s threat was stark and unambiguous.

His determination to retaliate against Alex was intense.

However, what made him even angrier was Alex’s response.

Alex sent another smiling emoji.

Actions spoke louder than words.

He clearly didn’t take him seriously!

Alex closed the chat channel.

The water purifiers were left on the trading platform, without much attention.

If a team needed them, they would naturally make a move.

As for the other items in the platinum-level supply crate, they needed to be explored for their uses.

Some fresh fruit and vegetable seeds.

Alex had those too.

However, this time, the seeds were some relatively rare varieties of fruits and vegetables, which added to the variety.

Just as Alex had finished transferring the original fruits and vegetables to the underground bunker’s planting area, there was still plenty of space left to plant these new seeds.

Inside the underground bunker, several sunlight lamps illuminated the fruits and vegetables, allowing them to grow normally.

This ensured that Alex, Mia, and Olivia would receive timely supplies of fresh vegetables.

Since obtaining the fresh seeds, they hadn’t needed to eat canned vegetables for quite some time.

This was also thanks to the unique nature of the fruits and vegetable seeds in the post-apocalyptic world.

Most of them matured in just a few days.

It would be pointless to rely on the weather as in the old world.

Alex dug up some fertile soil rich in nutrients from the ground and packed it into foam boxes, planting the new varieties.

Then, he took out the golden-level item from the platinum-level supply box, the “Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution”.

[Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution]

Dripped onto the seeds, it is pollution-free and indispensable for agricultural development! With the cultivation solution, the yield per mu reaches 8,800!

Alex was skeptical, but he used a dropper to extract a drop of the cultivation solution and dripped it onto the newly planted seeds.

“Let’s see if it’s really that miraculous…”

With a drip, the cultivation solution fell onto the seeds, but there was no reaction.

Alex stared expressionlessly, feeling doubtful.

Could this bottle of golden-level cultivation solution be fake?

But then he wondered if he hadn’t poured enough of the solution himself?

He then dripped another drop of the cultivation solution onto the same seeds.

Still, there was no reaction!

Alex was somewhat speechless.

He squatted in front of the foam box, his legs getting numb, staring at the seeds without blinking, full of anticipation but seeing no change in the seeds.

In the end, was that it?

Alex turned and left.

But what he didn’t know was that the seeds buried in the soil were actually emitting a faint light.

As he emerged from the underground bunker, Mia and Olivia saw Alex’s gloomy expression and thought it was due to the difficulty in selling the water purifiers.

“Alex, what’s wrong? You look like you’ve eaten bitter melon. Weren’t you just making water purifiers to sell on the trading platform? What happened? Couldn’t sell them?”

Alex sat down beside Mia and sighed, not saying a word.

“Alex, it’s okay. Water purifiers are a necessity anyway. Maybe at first, people will find the prices a bit high, but once the supplies aren’t as scarce, the sales will pick up.”

Olivia nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, we’re not short on supplies for the time being, so let’s take it slow…”

Alex sighed again, smiling bitterly, “I’m not upset about the water purifiers. Actually, I sold two today and received sixty units of S alloy.”

The two women were astonished.

They hadn’t expected the water purifiers to sell out so quickly.

Then they asked in confusion, “Then why are you still feeling down? Isn’t that something to be happy about?”

Alex inwardly grumbled.

“I mean, I didn’t say I was upset about the water purifiers…”

“It’s that ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’. I just used some of it earlier, dripped it onto the seeds, and got no reaction. It feels like it didn’t work, so it’s kind of a waste.”

Mia and Olivia suddenly realized.

But they didn’t think the cultivation solution would have much effect.

Olivia smiled and said, “Alex, these fresh seeds in the post-apocalyptic world are already of the fast-growing type compared to ordinary seeds from the old world.”

“I reckon that the ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’ might make the fruits and vegetables taste better.”

Mia agreed, adding, “Yeah, a lot of the fruits and vegetables we’re growing can mature in just a few days and then have a second growth cycle. If the ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’ is still about promoting growth, how much more can it accelerate?”

“It can’t get any faster! If it does, they’ll mature in just a few hours, which would be too terrifying.”

Olivia was reminded of something by this conversation.

“Right, Mia, do you remember the farming game we used to play? The fertilizer in there worked like this. You’d use it in the morning, and by the time you came home from school in the afternoon, you could harvest your crops.”

Mia nodded.

“How could I forget? I used to steal other people’s crops all the time. Once I even stole from my elementary school teacher, and the next day she joked with me and made me write a self-criticism!”
