Chapter 9 Inflation 8



The portable warehouse has 10 grids, each of which can hold up to 100 identical items.

If you focus on finding the 10 most useful items and then try to stock up on them, you are completely wrong in your thinking.

For example, now, 10 medical bandages, 5 boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, and 2 slingshots each occupy three spaces in the portable storage. But if you put all three things into an empty backpack and then put it in the storage, it will only take up one space. There will still be half of the space in the bag. This is the difference.

Of course, once filled with sundries, the backpacks cannot be stacked and only one can be stored in each compartment.

In a sense, this is giving up the advantage of the number of portable warehouses in exchange for space reserves. The size of the backpack determines how much stuff can be put into that compartment. More importantly, she can put chocolate, candy, ham, milk, black bread and other snacks in the bag! There is no longer any restriction on the types of items.

Su Han reacted almost instantly. But the next second, she had another idea - she could use a large storage box instead of a backpack.

The young girl next to her continued, "I've tried it. After putting all the stuff in it, a backpack takes up one compartment. You can divide it into food bags, daily necessities bags, medical bags, tool bags, sundries bags, etc. The size of the bag determines how much you can put in it, and you don't have to worry about the weight."

"It's inconvenient to walk on the street with a backpack on your back. It's too eye-catching. If you put it in a carry-on storage, there won't be such a problem."

"After the warehouse is filled up like this, it will be enough to get through the current game and enter the next instance. Anyway, we can resupply before the next instance, right? There will be rewards for clearing the level, and we can use the points to purchase in the game store."

Su Han was overjoyed and tried it immediately. Sure enough, the backpack could be put into the portable storage, and it was very convenient to take out items. She took out 5 more soaps and said seriously, "Organization skills are very useful, you deserve it."

The young girl weighed the newly acquired soap and suddenly said, "Using mineral water and black bread as rewards, we can easily get the information we want from people. In the current situation, necessities of life are more useful than currency."

Su Han laughed, "I know, thanks for the reminder."

The young girl didn't know why, but she always felt like she had taken advantage. She looked at Su Han deeply and took the initiative to say, "My name is Yu Baowen, what's yours?"

"Su Han."

"I hope I'll have a chance to see you again in the next copy." After saying that, Yu Baowen left.

Su Han didn't take it seriously and hurried to the market to look for storage boxes. After a while, she exchanged 5 packs of instant noodles for 5 250L super-large storage boxes, each of which was at least 90% new and had a very large capacity.

After reorganizing, Su Han successfully stuffed all the items into his portable warehouse, leaving plenty of space.

9 o'clock the next day.

The system announced mechanically, "On the 13th day, the price level increased by 100%."

"Power shortage. Effective immediately, power supply will be limited. Residential buildings will be cut off for three hours a day, and there will be a complete power outage after 8 p.m."

"If the boss lady still sells noodles now, it will probably be 24,000 shells a bowl." Su Han muttered to himself, "The situation is getting more and more chaotic, and the danger is approaching step by step. I just don't know when the critical point will come."

Shaking her head, she stopped thinking about it. She knew she could just fight back when the enemy came.

"Mom, I'm hungry." The child's tender voice sounded with a hint of coquettishness.

The young mother's nose was sore and she almost cried. The family had already run out of food, and now there was no water or electricity. She had no idea how to survive.

"Be good, be patient, you'll be gone soon." The young mother forced a smile and softly comforted her child.

She said so, but her eyes were blank. Without a job, she couldn't afford food. Even if she was willing to go begging on the street, no one would give her a bite to eat.

The young mother clenched her hands gradually - even if she had to steal or rob, she couldn't just watch her child starve to death!

Just then, two slices of bread fell from the sky.

"Eat quickly." A kind girl offered a helping hand.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" The mother hurriedly fed the child, fearing that the bread she had finally obtained would be snatched away by someone else.

The kind-hearted girl just smiled with relief when suddenly, a group of homeless people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her.

"I am starving too. Kind girl, give me something to eat."

"Just a piece of bread. I'll leave right away after you get it."

"My three-year-old child has been hungry for two days. Please save him!"

The girl was in a panic and had to continue to take out bread to feed the people in front of her. However, after giving away most of the food, the crowd not only did not decrease, but it kept growing. A rough count showed that there were 50 or 60 people.

"I have nothing to eat either! I have nothing to eat either!" the kind-hearted girl couldn't help but shout.

The crowd surrounding her simply didn't believe it.

"Why did you save them and not me? I'm almost starving to death!"

"You must have some food, give it to me."

"For the sake of the children, I must get the bread!"

As they were talking, people started pushing and shoving each other.

The kind-hearted girl was about to go crazy. After a long while, she finally remembered that the dungeon would be cleared in ten days and she could teleport away at any time, so she hurriedly made a request to the system. However, it was too late.

The request went unanswered, and the angry crowd became more and more violent. In just a few seconds, the kind-hearted girl collapsed, and her physical strength dropped to zero.

The young mother hurriedly covered her child's eyes and shed tears of guilt and fear - how could this be the human world? It was clearly purgatory!

**

The middle-aged man in his forties had sunken eyes, messy stubble, and was in a state of deep decadence.

He was a middleman, often queuing up at the supermarket door at 4 or 5 in the morning before dawn. It often took him four or five hours to grab food or daily necessities, and then he would go to the black market to exchange them for cheap tortillas or black bread, barely feeding his family.

But now his situation is becoming increasingly difficult. Anything that can fill his stomach, whether it is rice or flour, is hard to find on supermarket shelves.

Every day, the amount of drinking water, food, medicine, and daily necessities on the shelves is decreasing, but more and more people are thinking of becoming middlemen. Not to mention that sometimes, after finally grabbing the goods, they will be robbed after leaving the supermarket.

Having enough food has become a luxury. He even feels that it is very difficult to ensure that his family members do not starve to death.

Or... he would also go robbing? Thinking of the elderly and children at home, the middle-aged man pursed his lips into a straight line, and was stuck in a choice.

**

Birds and animals have become extinct, fish and shrimp have been caught, wild fruits have been picked, and even tree bark and grass roots have been almost eaten. More and more people are forced into desperate situations.

In the apartment building, the doors of several houses were wide open, and the rooms were empty, with nothing in them. It was obvious that either the whole family had fled or they had been robbed.

Su Han found an empty room on the tenth floor. No one was inside, but the security door was in good condition. She entered the room, closed the door, and took out the pots and bowls to cook instant noodles.

Turning on the tap, yellow water came out. It contained excessive amounts of metal and a lot of dirt, which made people lose their appetite, let alone cook with it.

Su Han quickly turned off the tap, poured mineral water into the pot, and started to boil water. Fortunately, the natural gas was still usable.

After a while, the water boiled, and Su Han added instant noodles and seasonings to the pot. At the same time, she walked to the side and closed all the windows - the bad thing about instant noodles is that they smell very good, and it is easy for others to find them by following the smell.

Soon, the noodles were cooked. Su Han put the noodles and soup into a bowl, took a big sip, and then squinted his eyes happily. Under the current situation, being able to quietly eat a mouthful of hot soup noodles is undoubtedly a very lucky thing.

Unexpectedly, just as a similar thought flashed through her mind, sounds of chasing and shouting were heard in the corridor.

Su Han, "..."

Do these people have dog noses? They can smell the instant noodles through the security door and window?

She looked out through the peephole and found that the young stall owner selling candles and mineral water at the entrance of the department store was running away in a panic, holding his abdomen.

Su Han frowned. His abdomen... seemed to be a gunshot wound?

"Chase them! They're just ahead!" In the distance, a group of people came running towards them.

The young man gritted his teeth, took off his backpack, and threw the candles and mineral water inside into the open space on the first floor. Finally, he threw the backpack down, leaving nothing behind.

The pursuer was stunned.

One person spoke quickly, "Let's go downstairs and pick up something."

Some people were dissatisfied, "After chasing him for so long, you just let him go?"

"What else?" The first person asked, "Are you chasing him to kill people or to get supplies?"

The man was suddenly speechless.

"He has nothing on him, obviously no money, no matter whether he is dead or alive." After saying that, the group of people left quickly - the mineral water and candles on the first floor were too eye-catching, what if someone snatched them away in advance! There was no time to waste.

Knowing that he was out of danger, the young man relaxed a little.

Su Han ate instant noodles without hesitation, because she felt that the person in front of her was a player who had the ability to save himself.

There are only two types of people who can stock up a large amount of supplies in advance. One is the NPC who runs a supermarket, and the other is the player who knows in advance that hyperinflation is about to occur.

The young man was setting up a stall in front of the department store, carrying a backpack. He didn't look like an NPC at all. Since he was smart enough to stock up, he should also carry medicine with him. He would be fine if he took some medicine.

In addition, not appearing in front of the other person at this time and allowing them to heal in peace is actually a kind gesture.

Who knows——

The young man said in a clear voice, "My name is Zhong Rui. Is there anyone in the room? Can you come out and help me? I am willing to pay you."

Su Han remained indifferent and continued eating noodles.

Zhong Rui continued, "I was shot and the bullet cannot be removed by one person. Just a little help, it won't be too much trouble, I have medicine."

Bullets... Su Han paused. She suddenly remembered that she had to ask this guy what was going on with the bullets. It was the first time she had seen a gun in more than ten days since she entered the game.

So, the door opened a crack. At the same time, the smell of seafood instant noodles filled the air. Su Han walked out of the room and asked, "How can I help you?"

Zhong Rui was slightly startled. He didn't expect it was someone he had seen before. He quickly gathered his thoughts and took out surgical supplies, hemostatic powder, and medical bandages. "Use a scalpel to cut the skin, use tweezers to remove the bullet, then sprinkle hemostatic powder on it, and then bandage it with medical bandages."

Su Han wanted to take action, but felt that it was inconvenient for this guy to lean against the wall, so he opened the door next door and tried to bring the man into the room and lay him flat on the ground.

"Not going to your place?" Zhong Rui wondered.

Su Han looked indifferent, "My kindness does not include allowing suspicious people to stay in the same room with me."

Suspicious elements...

Zhong Rui expressed his understanding, "I see."

The author has something to say: Those who say that hyperinflation does not exist in reality, Venezuela should learn about it, it is in progress

Su Han: To exaggerate a bit, I think if there are more storage boxes, they can hold a small supermarket (☆_☆)
