Chapter 31 Post-Apocalyptic Merchants



Even after the hail and blizzard stopped, the sun still didn't come out.

The sky was overcast, and everything looked gray and gloomy.

However, the city is finally bustling with human activity, unlike its previous desolate silence.

Shen Jing and Wasi each occupied one side of the sofa, enjoying the pot of yam, corn, and pork rib soup with gusto.

Night came quickly.

Although the house has heating, the heavy snow covering the ground still makes people feel an unprecedented sense of oppression and cold.

From day to night, the neighborhood is filled with the sounds of residents going out to find supplies and then returning, grumbling and cursing.

Although they were not very satisfied with the distributed supplies, the fact that the government was still operating was their only hope in this desperate situation.

The snow has already covered the 9th floor.

If you're unwilling to admit that this is a protracted war, you're just deceiving yourself.

It would be quite difficult for ordinary people to immediately accept the "apocalyptic" view.

They still held onto hope; they still clung to a sliver of hope.

Shen Jing desperately tried to race against the disaster, but discovered that the other party had secretly used a cheat code.

Compared to the previous life, the development speed of this apocalypse has accelerated by at least N times.

The sound of footsteps echoing in the night reverberated through the snow.

When Shen Jing came downstairs, she put on a mask and didn't attract much attention in the crowd.

This time she didn't prepare skis, but only took a ski pole and wore a pair of non-slip boots. With a flashlight on her head, she walked step by step in the darkness.

Although the coldest time is when the snow melts, for a southern girl like Shen Jing, minus 50 degrees Celsius is really extreme.

She was particularly sensitive to the cold, and the sight of endless white snow sent chills down her spine.

Now I'm walking through a city that's completely unrecognizable.

The skyscrapers were transformed into white "snow sculptures," and people on the tiles kept slipping and falling, yet they bravely tried to get up, only to slip again.

Fortunately, Shen Jing was prepared and wore non-slip boots.

She came out this time to look for jade.

Although the city is in a state of chaos, it is not difficult to find the wealthy areas.

Walking in the snow was really difficult, and it took Shen Jing an hour and a half to reach her destination.

The most expensive residential development in the city – Galaxy Peninsula.

Shen Jing went to the window on the ninth floor of Building 8 and climbed inside.

What she saw first was that people had already set up stalls inside the house; they all seemed to be post-apocalyptic merchants.

The businessmen adapted the fastest; who knows where Mr. Zhou, the grain and oil merchant, has made his fortune lately.

The residents of Xinghe Peninsula are all either wealthy or influential.

Following the beam of her flashlight, Shen Jing looked at each stall.

Daily necessities, fruits and vegetables, cosmetics, and jewelry are all available.

Her gaze was quickly drawn to a basket of bean sprouts.

Judging from the stall owner's clothes and appearance, she should be a rural woman, and the bean sprouts were obviously homegrown.

Shen Jing also tried it; to sprout beans, the indoor temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees Celsius, the higher the temperature the better.

In this icy and snowy landscape, bean sprouts can be considered a luxury.

"Girl, would you like some bean sprouts? Only 10,000 yuan." Sure enough.

"How are sales?" Shen Jing tried to find out the market situation.

"It's great! The main thing is that the bean sprouts are of good quality!" The woman leaned closer to Shen Jing and whispered, "We can't do without vegetables, or we'll feel uncomfortable if we can't poop!"

Shen Jing was amazed by her marketing acumen; she had actually managed to link selling vegetables to chrysanthemums.

However, she doesn't have this problem because she eats vegetables from her space every day.

But I'm afraid it's others...

Shen Jing observed discreetly and within just ten minutes, she sold 100,000 yuan worth of bean sprouts.

It really comes down to the hard work of the people to get rich!

In the early days of the apocalypse, vegetables and fruits were not something everyone could afford.

As the season progressed, even ordinary bean sprouts became legendary vegetables.

Shen Jing silently assessed the "assets" in her space and slowly left the battlefield where she was fighting for the bean sprouts.

She took a piece of cloth out of her backpack and laid it flat in the corner. The woman looked at it and glared at her with a fierce look in her eyes.

So they came to steal my business! Rivals are enemies.

Under the murderous glare of the women, Shen Jing took out 10 bags of dehydrated vegetables one after another.

When selling vegetables, you should start with the ones you dislike the most.

Upon seeing that it was just dehydrated vegetables, the woman's expression brightened: "Hehe, you sell this? Oh dear, it has no nutritional value whatsoever."

Shen Jing smiled and said, "And these too... Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F, K."

"K? What's that?"

"Vitamin D is in short supply, would you like to buy some?"

"You can't just take medicine randomly!"

Before he could finish speaking, a noblewoman stepped out from the side.

She snatched the box of vitamin D and asked, "How much?"

The lady's name was Angie. She was an overseas Chinese who had returned to China and had a daughter who was just over six months old.

In this kind of sunless weather, even adults need to supplement with vitamin D, let alone a baby.

Shen Jing looked at the pendant on the lady's sweater, "No cash accepted, only one piece of jade per box."

The wealthy woman's face stiffened; she actually refused to accept cash.

Her husband told her yesterday that she should spend all the cash she had on hand as soon as possible!

Moreover, cash is very popular among the vendors on this floor.

She asked, puzzled, "You pay in cash for everything, any amount is fine. Where can I exchange jade for other items?"

Shen Jing said calmly, "These are my rules."

When other vendors saw this, they all mocked her: "You still want to exchange jade now? Cash in hand is the only real solution!"
