Night passed, and the sun rose.
This morning, all the survivors in the community received a text message from the power company.
The original power-on time from 9:00 to 11:00 has been adjusted to two time slots.
9 to 10 a.m. and 5 to 6 p.m.
This change is more reasonable, and everyone has accepted it.
But now, they are more concerned about something else!
Last night, many people heard a loud thud as someone fell from a building.
So as soon as it got light, some people couldn't wait to run to the window to check.
The bodies of Chen Fuju and his mistress were discovered by the crowd.
The power wasn't turned on until 9 a.m., at which point everyone went downstairs to get ice.
Only then did some of the bolder people step forward to examine the two bodies.
soon.
Photos of Chen Fuju covered in knife wounds and her mistress holding a sharp knife appeared in the group chat.
The discussion was heated, with many speculating that the mistress killed Chen Fuju and then jumped off the building in a suicide pact.
The people upstairs also provided evidence.
Because they heard Chen Fuju beating up the mistress at night, the mistress had a motive to kill him.
Several survivors living in Building 1, disgusted by the sight, worked together to drag the two bodies away.
This matter did not cause much of a stir.
After all, these days we live in constant uncertainty, so why should we care about other people's lives?
The "wandering merchant" will be here soon, so buying more things is the important thing!
It's almost 10 o'clock.
Many people had already put on several layers of clothing and were squatting in the corner waiting in the freezing cold.
Many people even took out their phones to take pictures, whether they were downstairs or upstairs.
As the survivors waited anxiously, it was 10 a.m.
Liu Kai was wearing a powered exoskeleton and a homemade gray cape.
Finally, they appeared in everyone's sight driving the four-wheeled snowmobile that had been seized yesterday.
Unlike yesterday's secretive approach to the transaction, this time there were more than sixty people waiting downstairs!
North gate of the residential area.
Liu Kai got out of the car and unloaded the supply boxes one by one.
Many people have already noticed the changes to the "roaming merchant".
He appeared to be taller and stronger, and was wearing a strange cloak.
But when they saw the six large supply crates, their eyes widened in disbelief.
They no longer cared about the changes in the "wandering merchant's" physique and all left the sheltered corner to surround him.
What's most amazing is that these people actually lined up on their own!
Even before the cold wave arrived and supplies were plentiful, no one had the habit of queuing; everyone was scrambling to squeeze in wherever they could.
Perhaps it was because Liu Kai's fierce performance yesterday had a deterrent effect.
In everyone's eyes, the "wandering merchant" is a person who hates evil.
If you anger him by cutting in line, it would be a loss for you.
The atmosphere today was not as quiet as yesterday, and everyone greeted each other warmly.
As Liu Kai nodded in response, he opened the six large boxes one by one.
The supplies inside instantly caught everyone's attention!
The survivors were surprised to find that inside were various kinds of food and survival supplies.
They even used a separate box to store their luxury cigarettes and alcohol!
"oh!!!"
A whole box of cigarettes and strong-flavored soy sauce instantly caused a huge uproar!
Many people have already taken out their phones from their warm embraces and pointed their cameras at this spot.
"Friends, look what this is! It's cigarettes and alcohol!"
"Are you guys really that serious? There's so much food, but you can't see it all, and you only look at the cigarettes and alcohol?"
The person at the back of the line craned their neck and said eagerly, "Smoke? Where's the smoke? Let me smell it, I've been suffocating for days!"
"Boss, let's get started already, I can't wait."
Non-smokers think that someone who is starving to death and still wants to smoke is simply crazy.
But only smokers can truly understand this urgent desire.
These past few days have been a struggle to survive; my mouth is practically tasteless. If I could just take a puff, that would be such a wonderful thing.
The ritual of selling goods is essential.
Liu Kai still took out his flag with the four big characters "Wandering Merchant" written on it and planted it in the ground.
Only then did he raise his hand to interrupt the commotion.
"Please be quiet, everyone. We'll stick to our old rules: we only accept gold and platinum."
"Other supplies are priced the same as yesterday: 15 grams of this Huazi liquor is worth one gold, and 40 grams of this strong-flavored soy sauce liquor is worth one gold."
The crowd stirred again: This thing is expensive!
One pack of cigarettes is enough to buy three packs of instant noodles.
But they didn't consider that tobacco and alcohol are not necessities.
Before the apocalypse, one pack of cigarettes could buy 20 packs of instant noodles, which was already a friendly price.
Liu Kai didn't dare to set the price too high.
After all, no matter how strong the nicotine addiction, a person's first priority is still survival.
"If there are no questions, let's begin. What would you like to buy, buddy?"
The young man in first place quickly pulled off his mask, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "It's me, the boss! I also want to buy dog food today, 10 bags!"
"The boxes are limited, there's only one bag."
"Okay, just one bag! Are you coming again tomorrow, buddy? Could you bring some more dog food?"
This guy's addicted to taking advantage of deals.
Liu Kai thought of his dog, Xiao Hei, at home and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "We're out of stock."
Upon hearing this, Dog Food Bro hung his head in dejection and reluctantly carried the brand-new dog food home.
...
Today's trading went very smoothly.
People brought out far more precious metals than yesterday.
An 800-gram gold chain, a half-pound heirloom bracelet, a huge box of diamond rings with platinum settings from who-knows-where...
