Chapter 98 Transaction, High-level Meeting
The horror brought by the extreme cold far exceeded people's imagination! Suning had just returned from the mysterious space and felt a chill as soon as he stepped into the dormitory.
She could even clearly see the breath she exhaled condense into white mist in an instant.
Although the shelter has activated the heating system, the weak warmth can only make people feel a little bit of warmth, which is simply a drop in the bucket to resist such severe cold.
Most people still have to rely on their own efforts to resist the invasion of cold.
Without any hesitation, Suning quickly took out the constant temperature flower from his arms.
This magical flower bloomed with a soft and warm light, like a small sun, enveloping the entire dormitory. With the appearance of the constant temperature flower, the temperature in the dormitory gradually returned to normal levels, finally allowing Suning to breathe a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but worry, "I wonder how other people who are in the severe cold will survive this terrible extreme cold."
Due to the sudden arrival of extreme cold, the shelter fell into a state of comprehensive rest and recuperation.
Most daily tasks were forced to halt, and people gathered in their rooms, seeking a moment of peace and warmth. Suning, wrapped tightly in a thick quilt, reclined on his bed.
She opened the communication channel, hoping to learn more about the situation outside.
Various messages kept scrolling on the screen, and several of them caught her attention.
This extreme cold is truly terrifying! A ferocious ice storm has raged outside our area, Area 11! Is there anyone willing to trade some cold-weather supplies with me? I can use the food I obtained from the dungeon as a reward.
Ahhh, I knew the extreme cold was coming just by gathering food in the dungeon, but I didn't expect it to be this terrifying. All the cold-weather supplies I'd gathered couldn't withstand the chilling air currents. I'm practically frozen solid in the shelter.
[Brothers, at least you are in the shelter. We who are not in the shelter are the real disaster!]
[The cold-weather supplies I found at the national store above the system mall are also pitifully low. Sigh, how can I survive in this weather?]
Looking at this message for help, Suning frowned and felt heavy-hearted.
Faced with such a harsh environment, everyone is struggling to survive, and helping each other may be the only way for everyone to overcome the difficulties together.
Knowing that other shelters were also facing huge challenges brought by the extreme cold air, Suning couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
If someone could stand on a high place and look down at the entire blue planet, the scene before their eyes at this moment would definitely be shocking!
The once colorful and vibrant planet is now completely covered by a thick layer of white snow, as if it had instantly traveled back to a distant and cold ice age.
Despite such harsh conditions, life must go on.
Suning looked at his scavenger backpack, which contained a considerable amount of bluestone ore. Suning knew that these cold-resistant ores were extremely scarce and vital resources for various shelters.
Su Ning had never entertained unrealistic ambitions like conquering the world; she simply wanted to live a good life with the resources she had. Without hesitation, she entered the system store under the new identity of "Su Kexin" and quickly found the official store representing national power, ready to initiate a transaction.
…
At the same time, Song Ping'an was also anxiously dealing with a series of problems caused by the [extreme cold].
He frowned, anxiously thinking, "It's so cold now. How can we survive the continuously falling temperature? If the shelter can't enhance our ability to withstand the cold, then the temperature will surely become even more terrifying. How can people survive in such a harsh environment?"
As one of the key individuals responsible for the First Shelter, Song Ping'an had access to extremely accurate information. Not long ago, the mysterious player who had predicted the arrival of an extreme cold snap issued another warning, stating that temperatures would continue to drop and the disaster would be even more terrifying.
Faced with such a serious situation, leaders racked their brains and tried every possible means to find a feasible plan to ensure that all residents in the shelters and those who could not enter the shelters could safely survive this disaster.
Song Ping'an was so worried about this that his hair was almost falling out.
At this moment, a message suddenly came from the Daxia store that he was in charge of. You know, this system store was carefully set up by him. Except for the stores that he paid special attention to, it was impossible for others to send him any messages.
Out of strong curiosity, Song Ping'an clicked on the message without hesitation, and was surprised to find that the merchant of the once popular [Doomsday Survival Department Store] unexpectedly sent him a message.
The reason why Suning does not communicate with others is because talking to them will expose his information name.
Now that she has the ability of the ghost bead [Ghost Blindness], she can finally communicate with others.
Song Ping'an thought that there had been countless times when people, or anyone else, had tried to find out how the player known as the "Doomsday Survival Department Store" obtained those special supplies.
However, no matter how hard they tried, this person always isolated himself from the world, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him. All the messages they sent were like being thrown into a bottomless abyss, with no response.
Who could have expected that today, this small shop that had always been full of mystery would actually take the initiative to pass on a message to him.
At the same time, he finally got a glimpse of the true identity of the player hidden behind this doomsday survival department store - Su Kexin.
Judging from the name alone, it seems that we can imagine that she should be a woman, but this alone cannot determine who she is.
However, just the fact that he can control such a magical store must mean that he is no ordinary person.
Song Ping'an was surprised, but when he actually read the message sent by Su Kexin, he stood there as if struck by lightning.
The message contained a special item: "Blue ore, with extremely powerful cold and heat protection!"
Immediately afterwards, Suning solemnly released a transaction information, detailing the relevant information about the bluestone mine it owned and clearly stating that it could trade with the country.
Faced with such an astonishing item, Song Ping'an dared not delay and reported the matter to his superiors without hesitation. After all, this blue ore with extraordinary properties would undoubtedly have an impact on all shelters. If this transaction was not handled properly, the consequences would be disastrous.
…
The joint meeting of Daxia Shelters officially begins.
All shelter leaders came online to begin the meeting.
All the shelters were excited to learn that they had something as good as a bluestone mine.
I thought that if bluestone could be used on the outer walls of the shelter, the threat of the terrifying extreme cold would definitely be reduced a lot.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Ninth Shelter became agitated and shouted, "Such precious ore should naturally be handed over to the country. What does this player Su Kexin mean? At this moment, when the country is facing a huge crisis, shouldn't we contribute our strength without reservation? He actually wants to make a deal with the country. He has no sense of dedication at all."
After hearing this, representatives from other shelters also expressed their agreement.
One of them echoed, "That's right. When the country is in danger, everyone should step forward without hesitation. I don't know which shelter this Su Kexin came from. She actually tried to gain benefits through transactions. It's really disappointing."
However, not everyone fully agrees with the views of the head of the Ninth Shelter. Some are cautious and hesitant; others feel that not everyone will become a saint with high moral standards, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask people to be selfless.
At this time, the representative of the First Shelter who came to attend the meeting happened to be Qin Fan.
After everyone had expressed their opinions, he didn't just echo them. Instead, he spoke solemnly and seriously, "No one is born to sacrifice everything for others. The fact that this person is willing to offer her bluestone ore in this crisis is proof enough that she has lent a helping hand. We must not let down the kindness of someone as capable as her, and certainly not take her contribution for granted."
"Not only that, Qin Fan doesn't want to make enemies with him. You must know that the person who can produce such a large quantity of extremely rare minerals must be very powerful and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, you must not hand over such a rare and outstanding talent to others because of momentary selfish desires." At this moment, all the responsible persons fell into silence.
The person in charge of the Ninth Shelter had a grim expression on his face.
Liu Jianjun looked with disdain at the head of the Ninth Shelter, who had just put on an ugly face and tried to make Su Kexin give everything without reservation. He said in his heart, "Hmph, you are the most cunning and insidious. You always tell others to make selfless contributions, but why don't you take the lead in giving away those precious things in your own shelter?"
After muttering, Liu Jianjun felt envious again. "Oh, how great it would be if this woman named Su Kexin was a resident of my shelter!"
