The survivors, seeking shelter from the cold wind in the corner, no longer cared about the rules.
The current situation is that it's first come, first served, and if you're slow, you'll miss out.
They rushed towards the north gate one after another.
While running, he shouted at Liu Kai that he wanted certain supplies.
The silence was shattered in an instant.
These people not only ignored the cold wind, but also disregarded the previously orderly queue.
The first person to rush over ignored everything and quickly pulled out a handful of gold bars and jewelry from his pocket and handed them to Liu Kai.
His words were full of urgency: "I arrived first, sell it to me first!"
The person who lagged behind shouted, "Me! Me! Me too! Sell it to me first!"
These people were almost all involved in the robbery last night.
Now, however, he looked anxious and disheveled, a stark contrast to his ferocious expression during the looting and vandalism of the previous night.
The noisy commotion made Liu Kai frown, and he snapped the bolt back into gear.
"snort!"
This cold snort made everyone tremble and fall silent in fear.
Everyone glanced at the shotguns with lingering fear, and even if they were unwilling, they could only obediently form a long queue.
Seeing this, Liu Kai nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the first person to arrive, saying, "You go first."
The person whose name was called was overjoyed and hurried over with a fawning smile.
But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw what was inside the box.
His eyes widened instantly!
The first box still contained the same instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and pills.
The second box contained not only extremely valuable strategic materials: white sugar.
There were five 10kg bags of rice lying there!
The man swallowed his words and quickly changed his tune, saying, "Brother, I want to buy rice, rice!"
Rice?!
Upon hearing those two words, the people in line behind instantly lit up with a longing, green light!
They all stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to look into the box.
This sight alone is enough to make anyone lose their composure.
It really is rice!
The cold wave lasted for half a month, and they hadn't had a bowl of fragrant hot rice for many days.
One bag of rice weighs 20 jin (10 catties), and after cooking, it yields 50 jin (25 catties) of cooked rice.
If you only eat rice and don't add any vegetables, one person can only eat about 1 pound of rice if they are frugal.
In other words, this bag of rice is enough to meet a person's basic needs for survival for 50 days!
Those at the front of the line were overjoyed, while those at the back were indignant, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
However, Liu Kai's words immediately brought everyone back to reality, despite their differing thoughts.
"A bag of rice contains 2 kilograms of gold or 4 kilograms of platinum."
The first person's expression of surprise froze instantly, and he asked incredulously, "How...how much?"
The gold bars and jewelry he brought weighed exactly about 2 kilograms.
I strongly suspect that Liu Kai is deliberately targeting me!
But Liu Kai didn't answer, he just glared at him and said, "Buy it now if you want, otherwise get lost."
The man quickly calmed himself down and began frantically calculating.
The price of supplies purchased today is five times that of yesterday.
Two kilograms of gold can buy 40 bags of compressed biscuits; one bag a day would last for 40 days.
Upon closer inspection, it seems that rice is still more cost-effective.
It just means spending a little more time cooking.
I originally wanted to buy some other things as backup, but now I can't worry about that anymore.
So I gritted my teeth and said, "Buy it! A bag of rice!"
The money and goods were exchanged.
The man hurriedly left the north gate carrying the rice.
Among the people queuing behind him, some stared at his departing figure with ill intent, their thoughts unknown.
The next four people gritted their teeth and decisively paid a high price to buy a bag of rice.
Liu Kai was not surprised.
These people had a great haul last night, and this time they brought out all their family's stock without holding back.
But the people behind them were ready to curse.
It wasn't just that rice was sold out; everyone seemed to have a lot of gold in their hands, and two boxes of supplies were being consumed at an alarming rate.
really.
When he was sixth in line, he pulled out six 500-gram gold bars and bought up all the remaining cookies and instant noodles.
"Hahaha, I got it! I got it!"
This person's inner joy was impossible to conceal.
He carried a huge pile of things and ran home laughing.
At this time, there were still more than 40 people in line behind him!
The crowd instantly stirred with a buzzing sound.
Just a couple of days ago I was still observing and reluctant to part with it.
What about today?
Today is the last chance!
But having money in hand yet being unable to buy anything—this despair gripped everyone's hearts.
They really wanted to slap themselves!
The person at the end of the line gritted their teeth and broke away from the group, quietly following the others.
Seeing the remorse on their faces, Liu Kai knew that his emotions had been successfully stirred.
It's time to give them a glimmer of hope!
They calmly unloaded two large boxes from the snowmobile.
"Holy crap?"
This move caught the survivors completely off guard.
Those who had broken away from the group to carry out the robbery were stunned by what they saw.
Brother, you should take out your things sooner rather than later, otherwise you seem like a complete idiot.
Someone took a deep look at the snowmobile's covered trunk, wondering if there was anything else inside.
But do they dare to gamble?
Having just experienced that piercing despair.
I dare not gamble.
What if there are really only two boxes left?
We can't wait and see; we must act quickly!
The two boxes were opened.
The first box contained five 10kg bags of rice, neatly stacked together.
In another box, besides biscuits, instant noodles, and pills, there were also more than a dozen bottles of multivitamins and dozens of bags of table salt!
