Chapter 213 She really did have a lot of supplies
Before long, more people arrived, clearly having heard that supplies could be obtained here, and they were rushing over even though it was getting dark.
When Wei Tuling spread the news, he also revealed the list of supplies, but he did not specify how many supplies there were.
He also revealed that people should exchange supplies as early as possible, as some supplies are quite valuable and limited in quantity, so it's first come, first served.
Now, many people who originally planned to treasure the crystal cores and wait for someone in their family to awaken a superpower have put their superpowers aside and come to exchange them for supplies.
Even some people in their families who already had awakened were exchanging crystal cores for supplies.
Soon, a queue formed in front of the small window.
Because Wei Turing had also mentioned the rules during his promotion, warning them not to disrupt the order or they would not be allowed to exchange supplies, they were all queuing up in an orderly manner, and for the time being, no one was causing trouble or fighting.
Lin Muyan was also surprised that quite a few people had already obtained crystal cores from the villas on the hillside alone.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Apart from a few stupid and malicious people, most people are aware of potential dangers and know what they should do when the end of the world comes.
The mutation began, and the special zone was established.
There have been constant rumors these days that in the future, survival in the special economic zone will still depend on earning a living through labor, and the old currency is no longer worth much.
In the future, crystal nuclei will serve as the circulating currency.
Therefore, when Wei Turing revealed that Lin Muyan could exchange crystal cores for supplies, they had no questions and quickly accepted it.
Lin Muyan looked at the person at the very front of the line. There were several other people standing next to him, clearly together.
Most of the people who came to exchange supplies did not come alone.
As everyone knows, these days when you're out and about, you not only have to guard against attacks from zombies and mutated beasts, but also from being robbed.
The military has only just taken over here, and much of the order in the special zone still needs to be re-established. Right now, it's still very unsafe outside.
"Take out your crystal core."
As soon as Lin Muyan finished speaking, the other party immediately pulled out a small handful of crystal cores from his pocket, a total of eight.
Except for one crystal core that is water-attribute, the rest are all attribute-neutral crystal cores.
These crystal nuclei vary in shape and color. Lin Muyan currently lacks the sophisticated instruments to determine which nuclei have higher energy, and can only exchange them based on quantity for the time being.
She pointed to the eight crystal cores and said:
"This blue one is a water-attribute crystal core, so it's more valuable. The others are just ordinary attribute-less crystal cores, so they're not very valuable. Tell me what you want to exchange for, and I'll give you the quantity I can exchange for, then you can decide whether you want to exchange it or not."
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately handed over a note.
He wants rice and meat, and if there are any fresh vegetables, he'd like some more.
It's clear this family is quite pragmatic; they just wanted to try something different.
Lin Muyan has no shortage of rice and vegetables.
She immediately said:
"I can give you five catties of rice and one kilogram of vegetables, but if you want more meat, I can only give you a piece of pork belly."
"Okay! Let's change!"
The first trader completed the transaction readily, and the family, protecting the person who received the supplies, immediately left the area.
As they left, the people in line saw the vegetable leaves in the nylon bag; they were vibrant green and fresh, even still glistening with dew, fresher than the vegetables they had bought at the early morning market.
"There are fresh vegetables! That's great! I haven't eaten vegetables for more than ten days. Do you know how uncomfortable constipation is?"
"Alright, stop talking, my skin is a little sore..."
"I only have two crystal cores left. I was originally thinking of exchanging them for some meat, but I've changed my mind. I want to eat vegetables instead!"
The second person was incredibly excited to see that the first person had exchanged so many resources for just eight crystal cores.
When it was his turn, he immediately took out all of his crystal cores.
Upon closer inspection, there were more than twenty crystals, including five fire-type crystal cores that Lin Muyan wanted.
"Miss Lin, how much do you think these are worth? Besides rice, meat, and vegetables, I also want two boxes of this size of blood pressure medication. I wonder how much I can get in return?"
Although Lin Muyan was surprised that this person could produce so many crystal cores at once, she didn't show it on her face and only said:
"I have this blood pressure medication; I can exchange it for two boxes. As for the other items, think about which ones you'd like more of?"
"I only need the same amount of vegetables and meat as the previous person. I'll replace the rest with rice, or noodles if I want."
Lin Muyan nodded, closed the doors and windows as if she was going to get something, and then opened the window again three minutes later and handed the supplies out.
The man took the supplies and left quickly.
The others became even more excited upon seeing this.
The exchange of supplies continued, and although the commotion was not large, it quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding residents.
The three members of the Shen family stood on the second-floor balcony, looking at the Lin family's safe house, and naturally saw clearly what the departing people had taken with them.
Some people traded for rice, noodles, fresh vegetables, and fresh meat.
Some people also exchanged for medicine, sanitary napkins, rubbing alcohol, lighters, and other daily necessities.
Shen Jiaojiao snorted coldly:
"Mom and Dad, you see, I wasn't wrong. Lin Muyan has a lot of supplies, but she's malicious. There must be people here who have starved to death. When I asked her to give me some supplies to help them, she not only refused, but also sent me pictures of herself eating hot pot to disgust me."
"She has so many supplies, and they're just sitting there. She's so cold-blooded. Those who starved, froze, or died from heatstroke were actually killed by her."
Mrs. Shen was also furious. She also wanted to eat meat and fish, drink clean water, but for so long, she hadn't been able to have a decent meal, take a hot bath, or drink a cup of coffee.
And what about Lin Muyan? Not only does she live comfortably, but she also has so many surplus resources that she trades them for crystal cores. Yet she doesn't seem to care that the Shen family raised her for twenty years and now refuses to help them in their time of need.
"That ungrateful wretch is really too vicious! No, I can't swallow this. Once everyone's gone, I have to go and confront her!"
Shen Shiqiu, however, frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
The vegetables and meat that Lin Muyan took out looked very fresh.
Vegetables don't keep for long; the leaves will wilt in just a few days.
The same goes for meat. After surviving several extreme heat disasters, it's good enough if it doesn't rot; at the very least, it should be frozen meat.
But the meat those people exchanged was all very fresh, as if it had just been bought from the market.
Shen Shiqiu felt increasingly uneasy and knew he had to find a way to go to Lin Muyan's house to check on things.
He suspected that there was more to this mansion she had renovated than met the eye.
As darkness fell, Lin Muyan prepared to close the window after the last person who had exchanged supplies left.
But the next second, a sharp sound pierced through.
"Lin Muyan, you've gone too far! You clearly had so many supplies, why didn't you share them then? Do you know how many people have died because of your selfishness?"
Lin Muyan looked up and saw that it was none other than the three members of the Shen family.
She ignored it and immediately closed the small window, making the entire safe house impregnable.
