Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Don’t Think You Can Fool Me
In this way, as long as the outside zombie monsters don’t form too large a scale, this energy shield is an absolute safe barrier for their family of three!

It’s just unknown whether the [energy shield] can attack the enemies outside.

If not…

For them, it can only serve as the last line of defense.

Alex returned to the villa contentedly.

At this moment, a message suddenly came through.

It was a private message, and it was a request for trade identified by the system.

Seeing the note above indicating trade information, Alex understood that this survivor definitely didn’t have thirty pieces of S-class alloy.

Alex thought for a moment and opened the private message.

Number 78945: “Hello 10086, I want to buy the large water purifier in your hands.”

“Our group consumes a huge amount of water resources, needing to spend a large amount of our supplies every day to purchase them. However, I don’t have enough S-class alloy. Can something else be used for exchange?”

Nowadays, survivors are most lacking not in food, but in water resources.

Because, in this world, acid rain falls almost every so often.

This isn’t like the so-called acid rain from the previous world.

It’s genuine acid rain! It’s tens of times, or even dozens of times stronger than the acid rain from the previous world! Through the conversations of those survivors on the chat channels, Alex knew this very clearly!

There are no lack of poor people in this world.

Even in the apocalypse, poor people lacking in supplies are everywhere.

Many people request help on the world channel, even begging for someone to donate a bottle of water to them.

But in such a scarce world, who would have an overflow of sympathy?

If I give you my water resources, what will I do? Kind people can’t survive in this world.

The resources in this world are too scarce.

Drinking water can only be found in small quantities in supermarkets, convenience stores, and the like in the early stages.

Furthermore, there are survivors extremely lacking in water who, against all odds, drink the acid rain outside.

Then, the next day, they seek help on the world channel.

After drinking the acid rain, severe stomach pain begins.

Soon after, many people release the dire situation of survivors after drinking acid rain!

Their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Their intestines were rotten, their whole faces twisted in agony.

Although they didn’t appear too bad on the surface, just a bit of pain.

But soon, someone released a video of survivors in their dying moments after drinking acid rain.

The wails in the video made all survivors shudder.

This method of death is too horrifying.

So much so that eventually, not a single person dared to drink the acid rain outside.

Even if they were dying of thirst…

When Alex saw this message, he felt relieved.

He knew that large water purifiers were in demand, especially in this apocalypse!

“What do you have?” he asked.

“A blueprint for a barbecue grill…”

Alex rolled his eyes and coldly said, “Goodbye!”

A blueprint for a barbecue grill?

Do you think I’m a beggar?

Alex didn’t have time to waste with such people!

He didn’t want to listen to their pleading or pity.

It would only make him more and more annoyed.

He was a businessman now.

What kind of person is a businessman?

A rogue who only sees profit.

Would you reason with a rogue or appeal to their sympathy?

“Wait! Please! We really need this kind of water purifier, otherwise, we will die!”

The other party quickly sent a message.

Alex replied casually, “I’m not a saint. Talking to me like this won’t work.”

“You should talk to God. But, I think even if you shout loudly now, God won’t hear you.”

“I have other things! As long as you’re willing to let me use something else instead! You can name your price!!”

The other party panicked and quickly sent a message.

Alex was starting to get impatient and wanted to close the conversation, but then his eyes lit up with an idea.

“Tell me what you have. I’ll give you one more chance to continue this conversation with me. The next thing you say has to be something that moves me, otherwise, I’ll just close the private chat channel and block you!”

Alex knew that the other party must be very, very eager to get his water purifier.

After all, there’s a saying:

“Water is the source of life.

A person can go a week without food, but will die in three days without water.”

The survivor on the other end of the private chat channel must be in dire straits to resort to trading with him.

After all, thirty pieces of S-class alloy are a fortune for many survivors.

This thing is now the most important resource for building bases!

But compared to the precious S-class alloy, nobody wants to die of thirst.

Alex was well aware of the fear of death in human nature.

So, faced with complaints and pleas, he remained resolute without any concessions.

Everyone is selfish, and this guy actually thought he could brush him off with just a barbecue grill?

Alex wasn’t buying it.

In this post-apocalyptic world, every survivor who has made it this far is not to be underestimated!

This guy definitely still has some reserves!

As a businessman, Alex was determined to wring everything out of this guy!

Sure enough, just as he expected.

After sending out that statement, the other party didn’t reply for a long time.

They were contemplating, and likely feeling extremely anxious.

Alex didn’t rush to close the communication.

He knew what the other party was going through right now.

As expected, after a while, a new message came through.

“I know offering just a barbecue grill blueprint was a bit too disrespectful, so I’ve decided to sweeten the deal with the most valuable thing we have here! A gasoline generator! What do you think?”

Alex chuckled and casually replied, “Sorry, do you know who approached me just now?”

“Who is it?”

“I don’t know this person either, but he also really wants a water purifier. And, it seems like this guy’s situation is even worse than yours! People have already starved to death in his base!”

“You know what? If it were him, I would still feel more sorry for him!”
