Chapter 463: Move! See how much you can move!
"Why, why are there only so few? No more?" Jingshu ran around in the empty warehouse. All she had were worthless pistols and some scattered weapons.
"This is the armory corridor. We haven't even entered the actual armory yet."
"Let's go, take me in." Jingshu urged.
Jun Jia looked at Jing Shu as if she were an idiot. "This is classified, how can you just go in there casually? The higher-ups have stipulated that retired weapons should be exchanged for supplies, and these are all that's left. These are the only things you can choose from. Even if you go to my brother-in-law to make a fuss, you can only take what's in here. Besides, even if you take a step back, you can't get a permit to hold the items in the weapons depot."
Jingshu was like a deflated ball. She originally wanted to get a big one, but she didn't expect that the armory had almost been exchanged in more than a dozen districts over the past few months.
But Jingshu didn't give up. She also wanted to look for any bargains in here. However, apart from finding an RPG that no one wanted, there was nothing valuable.
"Alright, add 20 RPGs."
"You've used up your quota of 10,000." Jun Jia looked gloating. After all, Jingshu didn't pay anything, but she was going to take away the weapons that she had exchanged several times. The key point was that he had to use his own supplies to let Jingshu get the weapons. This made the fat man even more unhappy.
"Or, if all else fails, we can just grab some broken guns. We've got a lot of weapons from the US anyway." Jing Shu pondered and was about to give up, but when she turned a corner, she suddenly found wall after wall of wooden boxes! They were endless, of all sizes!
"This is..."
"This is the ammunition depot."
Jingshu's eyes suddenly lit up. Ammunition is something that is hard to come by. Jingshu has a lot of weapons, but as for ammunition, she didn't consume much because it was too precious.
"We've lost all our weapons, so why are there so many ammunitions? Didn't they say that bullet weapons won't be manufactured after the apocalypse? So every bullet is precious, right?"
Jun Jia looked at Jing Shu as if she were a fool and snorted, "Before the apocalypse, China had over 60 billion rounds of ammunition, with tens of billions more in reserve. Although they're not producing them now, there haven't been any major incidents recently, so it's certainly enough to cover ordinary expenses."
"Then I'll use the rest of my money to exchange for bullets." Jing Shu rubbed her hands and made a fortune. Because of the invasion of new species after the apocalypse, China was short of ammunition. Later, due to material constraints, not many bullets could be produced, making ammunition more and more precious.
Therefore, it is essential to have bullets to support logistics and ensure that Jingshu has sufficient weapons and ammunition. Otherwise, if the weapons have no bullets in the future, what is the use?
Jun Jia frowned. The higher-ups exchanged obsolete weapons just to guide these people to find money to exchange for ammunition. The real big deal was not the weapons but the ammunition, just like driving a car requires gas to consume it. Oil is the world's strategic material, and what is really valuable is consumables. Similarly, if the ammunition is controlled, these businessmen will not be able to jump up.
What the state really controls is the rate at which ammunition flows out.
"No, first of all, the bullets are too expensive and not worth it, and secondly, it's impossible to release as much ammunition as you have at once." Jun Jia shook his head with certainty.
"How many virtual coins are there? What are the specifications of these boxes?" Jingshu asked curiously.
"30 virtual coins per bullet, and these boxes are designed to hold 1,000 bullets, which means they're worth 30,000 virtual coins."
Jingshu opened her mouth wide. This was indeed ridiculously expensive. Before the apocalypse, the cost of a bullet was only 4 cents, but now 30 virtual coins can buy 10 steamed buns. Food has a premium of dozens of times in the apocalypse, and the cost of bullets is more than ten times more expensive than food. However, this is a trick to make merchants exchange bullets at high prices. To put it bluntly, it is still to collect food and material reserves.
"If you don't exchange the bullets, even if I take all the weapons in the warehouse, it might not be enough for my quota, right? Besides... Mrs. Jin has already told you what happened today. If everything goes well, her husband can live for a long time..."
Jun Jia was silent and wiped the sweat from his head. What should he do? This girl is not easy to deal with. She is not going to leave until she gets the bullet and is going to complain.
I hate people who cry and complain all the time, just like her sister when she was a child.. Besides, Curry’s stuff is really not enough, um..
"This!" Jun Jia suddenly had an idea. "I can exchange these bullets for you. You can move as much as you can today. Of course, the premise is that you can only move once, and you can't ask for help. You have to move it before the next shift. Don't say I'm stingy. You can even pile them up and drag them with a rope, or use a lever to pull them. You can use the tools you have now.
Now, you have thirty minutes to move from here to the exit, about a dozen meters. If you agree, start now. If not, I really can't do anything about it. You pick up Curry's other scattered weapons and leave. "
That is to say, from now on, no matter what method you use, you can only move the bullets from the storage area to the exit once, and the bullets you move out are yours.
Jingshu raised her eyebrows and picked up a box. It weighed about ten kilograms and contained 1,000 bullets. Ten of them stacked together would weigh more than a hundred kilograms. It would be impossible for a normal person to move it, even with the help of tools.
What can a thousand rounds of bullets do? A machine gun can fire thousands of rounds a minute, and a rifle's rate of fire is about 650 rounds per minute. Even if you fire in bursts, hundreds of rounds will be gone in a few minutes.
Of course, if someone like Jingshu is stingy and only uses bullets when necessary, then the few hundred bullets she has used in the past one or two years are certainly not counted. After all, Jingshu has to make plans for the future, and there are indeed not many opportunities to need bullets in the past few years because she has not encountered any particularly dangerous situations.
But things were different later. As the bullets were getting fewer and fewer, Jingshu felt that this was a rare opportunity and it would be best to stock up on a lot of bullets at once.
According to the current market price, one box costs 30,000 virtual coins (virtual price). The price will become more and more expensive in future auctions. She can get 120 boxes, which means 120,000 rounds of bullets, but judging from Jun Jia's expression just now, she absolutely cannot take so many.
"Okay, right? You can't go out and call for help, and you can't find any tools. You can only use what you have on you. And you can only move once. I agree, so I'll start. I'll confirm one last time. No matter how much I can move, it's fine."
Jun Jia nodded, "That's what I mean."
With a click, "Okay, you keep your word, I'm recording the video."
Jun Jia scoffed, "Go ahead and record it, and see how much you can move."
