"I just joined the survivors, and there's no food left to sell."
"No way, what's going on? Is the whole server going to experience a famine?"
"I've had enough. It's pitch black outside, and my head is about to explode."
"I feel so irritable, I'm in a pitch-black environment every day. Even with the Shark Ball, the light isn't enough!"
"Winter depression, restlessness." (A psychological syndrome)
"Without sunshine, I feel listless all day and have no energy to do anything."
...
The eternal night shows no sign of ending, and no one knows how long this situation will last.
People who used to occasionally sell food have all disappeared.
This situation was far beyond what the unscrupulous people had anticipated.
They were supposed to start selling on the 7th day, but to maintain the price of the food, they only sold a very small quantity. But today is the 10th day, and there's still no sign of the eternal night ending.
Now they don't know what to do with the food they've acquired.
If I sell them, what if I run out of food? If I don't sell them now, I'll have to wait until the game announces the disaster is over.
By then, all the existing stock needs to be cleared out within one day. The market will be flooded with food, and while prices won't necessarily be low, they certainly won't fetch high prices, meaning all their work will have been for nothing.
Once the eternal night passes and food becomes available, food prices will drop significantly, and they will truly be operating at a complete loss.
Of course, it wasn't just those with ulterior motives who were aware of the current situation; the members of the 2333 team, who knew about the shady dealings behind the scenes, also understood the logic.
At this moment, Gu Xi switched to the 2333 squad chat group.
As soon as Gu Xi opened it, she found a lot of chat history inside, which were the products of her mental breakthrough over the past two days.
She scrolled through the records and got a general idea of what her friends had been talking about these past few days. She then sent a message.
Gu Xi: "Now it's all good, those heartless devils don't need to spread the word about food shortages anymore."
Her message received a response shortly after it was posted.
Sun Yiming: "Sister Xi, you're finally online? I haven't heard a word from you for the past few days."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "Although I know you won't be in any trouble, Sister Xi, I'm still worried."
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, you've finally shown your face."
Lorraine: "You didn't go to training, did you?"
Gu Xi: "...You guessed right."
Li Ruoyang: "These heartless devils are in a bind now. No matter how they sell, they have to ensure their survival first, but they don't know how much food to keep."
Sun Yiming: "This matter is quite difficult to handle, and we don't know how long the eternal night can last."
Xu Lulu: "Nothing is certain right now, so I doubt many people would dare to sell food."
Lorraine: "Actually, in the eternal night, even if the planted food doesn't grow and the boxes that are fished out don't have any food, as long as we don't eat and drink indiscriminately, we can survive for a while longer with the help of sea fish."
Lorraine's words were certainly reasonable, but many people in the 2333 area had been driven to the brink of mental collapse by the continuous eternal night. In addition, some people kept spreading rumors about food shortages, which had put enormous psychological pressure on ordinary people and left them mentally exhausted.
Now, the anticipated announcement of the end of the disaster has not come; instead, it has become the straw that breaks the camel's back.
In such chaos, it is entirely possible to lose one's mind.
Even the members of Squad 2333 dared not act rashly under these circumstances, but there was one exception. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
