Chapter 125: New Plan To Move Forward
“Sister Jiang, I was originally able to pay you back the crystal coins today, this…” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy said somewhat embarrassedly.
Yu Jiang waved her hand, “No rush, crystal coins can be earned at any time, coming to the supermarket once isn’t easy, stock up on supplies first.”
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy nodded gratefully, and with Yu Jiang’s words, she felt relieved.
She was just afraid that Yu Jiang would think she had crystal coins but didn’t pay them back, instead buying supplies for herself first.
Yu Jiang bought some seafood, red heart grapefruit, discounted coconuts, and some reasonably priced fruit in the fresh food section.
When it’s not free to take, she has to hesitate over expensive things too.
The budget needs to be allocated well; the supermarket has brand new sterile underwear sets, stormsuit sets, quick-drying clothes, fleece jackets.
Players can’t make these things; on the road, they can only be obtained by opening boxes, or find substitutes themselves.
If not for the zero-yuan purchase wave at the supermarket last time, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Yu Jiang to get such a complete set of extreme cold outdoor gear.
They’re sold very expensively on the trading platform, with low quantity; their team made it to the first echelon to live well.
In fact, in doomsday, keeping clean and comfortable is a very luxurious thing.
With the low temperature duration, cotton clothes stripped from zombies that are dirty and clumped can be hung out to sell, because the price is cheaper than brand new cotton clothes and down jackets, and many people are still scrambling to buy them.
Yu Jiang directly bought sterile underwear sets *10, wool socks cotton socks mix *10, stocked 3 or 4 sets of the remaining outdoor gear, towels gauze, bandages as needed.
Ordinary skin wounds don’t lose health points, but wounds can easily become infected and lose health value; if conditions allow, these things should still be stocked.
In this game, there are bandages, waterproof patches, gauze such items, but no real-world finished medicines.
Yu Jiang had only seen moldy vitamin tablets in the house in the first instance Silent Town.
Antibiotics can also be handmade, and Lightning Mage King really considered it.
But the light screen prompts that fungi and bacteria in the game have all mutated; what he cultivates isn’t real-world penicillin, and trying it leads to death.
Moreover, players’ bodies no longer respond to real-world medicines.
Thinking about it makes sense; even if bitten by zombies, infection is just bleeding, and as long as health points don’t hit zero, it’s fine.
Yu Jiang pushed several carts of supplies to the cash register to check out together, watching the crystal coins she had painstakingly saved up being spent, leaving only 1000.
She was afraid there might be places needing them later, so she deliberately left a round number.
Not just her, Wholesale King Wang Defa, whose wealth was equally abundant, and Purple Butt Can Do It also had twitching mouths.
Windproof and waterproof stormsuit sets 600 crystal coins per set, fleece jacket 300 per piece, fruit sold by the piece, fresh food not cheap either, plus those practical tools.
Wealth Ranking top three entered Raccoon Supermarket, and all showed poor smiles when leaving.
Changing to supplies is fine, but used to having a large amount of crystal coins in hand, suddenly clearing them out feels like no sense of security.
In the team channel, everyone had new ways of counting.
Han Jiang Gu Ying: “One ice zombie = 1.5/2 strawberries, or one bowl of noodles, for a stormsuit set I gotta kill dozens of zombies, feels like doing black labor.”
Sixth Brother Blacksmith: “100 forged steel labor cost = stormsuit set.”
Sad Pig Intestine: “Sell 20 lunch boxes = stormsuit set.”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “I’m pitting against you all with money-making professions.”
Strawberry Candy: “Can I still collect scrolls now? Can only get crystal coins by fighting zombies and instances, heartbroken.”
In the supermarket, Yu Jiang and teammates verified everyone’s items, sent them out first, then carried their own supplies back fully loaded.
“Take care, guest, very much looking forward to seeing you next time.” Raccoon Boss said smilingly to Yu Jiang, “Next time if you can find me a money tree, I’ll give you a discount, spend over 3000 crystal coins and get 150 off.”
His affection toward Yu Jiang reached 60.
Yu Jiang made a gesture, “I’ll try.”
She really hadn’t seen a live money tree in the game.
The group left Raccoon Supermarket, got in the vehicle, and left the parallel road.
After the team disbanded, though it felt a bit cold and lonely, on the personal road, they could finally relax.
Night protection mode was already on; monsters wouldn’t attack her, no need to guard against strange players on the road.
The blizzard was fiercer than the day before yesterday; the RV’s tonnage was there, so driving in extreme weather was still stable.
Yu Jiang used the portable stove and gas canister to set up a small grill pan, pulled up the blackout curtain.
The warm yellow light emitted from the RV stood out especially warmly against the heavy snow outside the window.
Lit the fire, poured oil, put on tender beef, pork belly, the aroma soon filled the RV, paired with peach oolong beverage, extremely refreshing.
Right in front of Yu Jiang was the open public screen and trading platform.
Parallel road mileage change was actually okay, just bad weather slowed driving speed,
A day can cover 400-500 km, level four and below vehicles don’t work well, more players forced to overnight on parallel road.
When the first blizzard came, the Judgment Card event also made more people realize how important teaming up is for survival on the parallel road.
Teaming up isn’t necessarily reliable, internal thieves stealing things not just once, at least can survive; going solo, might just silently die, they don’t have Judgment Cards.
At this moment, many players on the public screen were looking for overnight teams.
There were also a few teams collecting money to protect players in need, 100 crystal coins per person, and that’s for teams around combat power ranking top 100.
Top dozens teams charge 200-300 crystal coins, or higher.
As for whether to trust these teams, that’s for the protected to consider; after taking protection fee, might still get killed and looted at night.
In the team channel, teammates were also talking about this.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy: “For the next few days, if we’re on parallel road at night, can we earn some too?”
She had no coins or crystal coins now; everyone restocked supplies at the supermarket, right when short on crystal coins.
Not to mention they had Wholesale King Wang Defa and Purple Butt Can Do It’s ways; earning this crystal coins isn’t hard.
Han Jiang Gu Ying: “I think it’s feasible; since overnighting on parallel road, if not competing mileage, can just run 100km, save energy and effort; anyway recent supply boxes are few, running hundreds km for one or two more boxes, if no rare resources it’s a loss.”
Already in the period of declining supply acquisition probability, his own opened boxes for supplies and monsters almost reached 46.
Desert Eagle: “No objection from me.”
X: “Count me in.”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “Then starting tomorrow?”
Yu Jiang: “Okay.”
She also thought Han Jiang Gu Ying’s reasoning was sound; before, didn’t want to overnight on parallel road, so gritted teeth to drive back to personal road.
Now weather too bad, this way has low cost-effectiveness; since teaming on parallel road anyway, better split the hundreds km into two days.
