Cui Shuqing looked up, glanced around the supermarket, and then walked towards the cashier a little awkwardly.

The couple took out the jewelry they had collected before, which was not much, just three silver necklaces, two gold necklaces and two gold rings.

After getting the points cards, the two exchanged the jewelry for points, and each had about 2,000 points on the card.

Cui Shuqing's voice was filled with trepidation, and her pale lips were trembling slightly.

"Boss, can we try the supermarket's earplugs?"

This is what they need most at the moment. Even if it only helps to block out the noise a little, they will buy a few pairs.

Jiang He looked at the two of them and nodded slightly: "Okay."

The earplugs are packed in a transparent plastic box, which is all black. They are made of special material, waterproof, and can be shaped arbitrarily. After being inserted into the ear canal, they can automatically fit the shape of the ear canal and block out external sounds.

The couple cleaned their ears first, fearing that they would dirty things in the supermarket.

After putting on their earplugs, they walked to the supermarket entrance and stuck their heads out.

Cui Shuqing's eyes moved slightly, and the frog calls seemed to have disappeared, not even a sound could be heard!

It was so quiet around her that she even wondered if all the mutant frogs in the water were dead.

Cui Shuqing reached out to take off her earplugs. The "quack, quack" sound made her head hurt, and the nausea that she had suppressed suddenly surged up again.

She quickly put the earplugs back on, her tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the twitching corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

The earplugs sold in Shuguang Supermarket are amazing and can block out almost all noise!

And it’s not expensive, only 100 points per pair.

Cui Shuqing turned around, her eyes filled with excitement, "Boss, we want to buy six pairs of earplugs!"

Jiang He pointed to the supermarket's large screen and said, "Earplugs are a restricted item. Each person is limited to one pair."

When she was getting the stock last night, she hadn't paid much attention to the noise-isolating earplugs.

But it is small in size, and a shopping cart can hold a lot of them. Jiang He went in two or three times, and there were about a thousand pairs in stock in the space.

According to the number of residents in Xinhai Base, this amount is simply not enough to sell, so we have to impose purchase restrictions.

Cui Shuqing and Zhang Zhengqiang have had very poor sleep quality in the past two days, and their eyesight has also become not very good. When they squint their eyes to look at the big screen, the words on it are blurry.

Seeing the guests' inconvenience, the welcoming bear immediately stepped forward and enthusiastically introduced to them the specific restricted items in the supermarket.

When they heard that almost all medicines were restricted in purchase, they hurriedly asked, "Boss, can the tranquilizing and brain-tonifying liquid be used by the elderly and children?"

"One bottle of tranquilizing and brain-boosting liquid can produce significant effects without any side effects. It can be used with confidence by both the elderly and children."

Having experienced the power of noise-isolating earplugs, the couple firmly believed what Jiang He said.

After buying two pairs of earplugs and two bottles of tranquilizer and brain tonic, they immediately left the supermarket and returned to the dormitory.

The two sleeping old men looked listless and even after calling them for a long time, they did not wake up.

Li Zhengqiang quickly helped the person up, opened the lid of the tranquilizer and brain tonic solution, and carefully fed it to his mother and mother-in-law.

The couple also gave their earplugs to the old man.

After a few minutes, the two old men finally opened their eyes and woke up from their coma.

Seeing her son and daughter crying beside the bed, Cui Shuqing's eyes were red, and she touched their heads to comfort them:

"Xiaoxi, Tiantian, don't cry. Mom and Dad will take you to Shuguang Supermarket. Put on the noise-isolating earplugs and you will feel better soon."

When the family went downstairs, there was already a long queue in front of the supermarket entrance, and a dense crowd of people blocked the corridor.

At the front of the line were the soldiers from the base.

They rushed into the supermarket and quickly bought essential supplies such as night vision binoculars, earplugs, and tranquilizers.

Base director Wan Hongmin had long wanted to send people to clear out the mutant frogs in the water, but the noise was too loud before, there were no effective protective measures, and accidents were too easy to happen in such an environment, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.

Now, after the soldiers have drunk the tranquilizer and brain tonic from the supermarket and feel better, they can put on earplugs and go out to fight.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of mutant frogs in the base. If you want to completely eliminate them, you can only adopt the human wave tactic.

Wan Hongmin originally wanted to assign mandatory tasks and mobilize all residents to catch mutant frogs together.

But Shuguang Supermarket announced a good news first:

"The corpse of the mutant frog can be exchanged for a certain amount of points."

In this way, there is no need for Wan Hongmin to emphasize the pros and cons. In order to purchase supplies, the residents will take the initiative to walk out of the dormitory and try their best to strangle the mutant frogs.

But you can't underestimate the venom in frogs. Before approaching the flood, you must be fully armed and take precautions.

…

Jiang He sat at the cashier counter, manually putting merchandise on the shelves at the supply station in Building 12.

Flashlights and head-mounted lights are scattered throughout the supply stations. Once they are sold out, they will be replenished until all the inventory in the space is sold out.

The mutant fish in the shallow mountain base have probably been almost eliminated. Since this morning, the goods in the supply station have been rapidly decreasing.

Jiang He had just finished restocking the shallow mountain supply station when several people came over with shopping carts to check out.

In addition to earplugs and tranquilizing and brain-tonifying liquid, the best-selling items in the supermarket are jackets and rubber rain boots in the clothing area.

Residents are eager to earn points, and the best protection they can think of is to buy clothes and shoes in the supermarket.

There must be no ambiguity about safety issues. If you lose your life, you won’t be able to spend the points even if you have them in your card.

By noon, all of Jiang Hejin's 300 sets of windbreakers and 150 pairs of rubber rain boots were sold out by customers.

Outside the supermarket, a large-scale pantomime was being performed.

Performers - residents wrapped up like dumplings.

Earplugs blocked out all noise, and they could only communicate through gestures.

At this time, people who have never learned sign language may be forced into creating their own set.

The mutant frogs are small and agile, so it is difficult to catch them alone. Only by working together can there be a chance to trap them and then kill them quickly.

The main system recycles mutant beasts because their bones and skins have special value, and it is impossible to give away points for free.

The most valuable part of the mutant frog is the venom on its surface. The other bones, flesh and blood are basically useless.

After Jiang He purchases the corpse, it will be sent to the relevant department, where the staff will conduct research on it and then process it into salable goods and distribute it to other small worlds.

A complete mutant frog can be exchanged for 50 points, but most of the corpses sent by residents are not very complete, and the purchase price basically ranges from 20 to 30 points.

Don’t be fooled by the low purchase price, the quantity is large.

Take Cui Shuqing's family for example. The couple teamed up with others and caught mutant frogs for seven or eight hours. In the end, each of them got more than 600 frogs.

When they came to the supermarket to redeem their points, the couple made a net profit of more than 30,000 points!
