Chapter 111: No One Lives
YouTu Suifeng220 is really sending.
Only to see outside his windshield, at the spot directly ahead where cold air condensed, several figures stood, carrying a piercing chill, almost blending into the wind and snow.
Visually, the sense of oppression was very strong; ordinary vehicles might not be able to break through.
There were plenty of people talking trash on the public screen, and quite a few suggesting dumb moves, but no one was willing to put out an item card.
Suifeng220 was nearly dying of anxiety: [How can you all be like this? Helping others is also accumulating virtue for yourselves! Once I get through this crisis, I’ll pay back the Protective Shield Item Card!]
Great Luck Chariot God: [It’s the apocalypse already, accumulate a fart’s worth of virtue! Some people don’t even have a few Protective Shield Item Cards; who can give one to you.]
Rotten Life One is Just Doing It: [Listen to me, floor the accelerator and crash right through. Anyway, either they die or you die— just do it.]
Suifeng220: [I just leveled up to Level 3 Vehicle yesterday; where can the windshield withstand that? The Wealth Ranking reward includes a Protective Shield Item Card!]
Suifeng220 watched the zombie horde drawing closer and closer, his hands shaking like a sieve, both furious and anxious.
The public screen was flooded with so many messages, not a single useful one; some even said since he was going to die anyway, better to accumulate some virtue and send supplies to everyone.
He also private chatted Sicily, thinking they had some friendship; Sicily this dead shemale, previously pretending to be female to cheaply collect things, calling brother, brother nonstop, but now that he’s made it big, pretends to be dead and doesn’t reply.
And Little Orange Cat, his dad is also male!
“Before, when you needed medicinal herbs, I sold them to you cheaply; now I just want to borrow a Protective Shield Item Card, and you turn hostile and don’t recognize people!”
“Don’t forget, I contacted several mutual help players to give you medicinal herbs!”
Players haven’t been on the road for long, and quite a few still hope for unity and mutual aid to survive together.
So during the acid rain, Suifeng220 used the pitch of providing medicinal herbs for cheap processing by an alchemist to get some medicinal herbs, helping Sicily achieve Alchemist Level 2 achievement.
Those medicinal herbs were painstakingly gathered and stockpiled by others, yet only a tiny amount of finished medicine was returned.
Sicily said the failure rate was too high, so he didn’t make any profit at all.
By now, several of those players have already died, and the rest are unwilling to trust him anymore; they couldn’t find Sicily and just cursed him out.
He was unlucky too; he sourced the medicinal herbs but didn’t get much medicine himself!
Afterward, Sicily teamed up with Ye Wuyou; they hit it off right away and stopped pretending.
After a dozen seconds, the private chat reply finally popped up.
Sicily: “Bro, are you nuts? Leaderboards are so hard to get on; just that one Protective Shield Item Card, and as an alchemist I don’t even have enough for myself— give it to you?
Don’t talk about those previous medicinal herbs; I said early on that drug manufacturing has a failure probability, and the loss can’t all be on me— I’m not running a charity.”
After saying that, he ignored Suifeng220’s help request.
As for the real failure rate, only Sicily himself knew; after all, being an alchemist was so important, others were scrambling to buy medicine, not him begging to sell it.
Suifeng220 was done for.
Previously not knowing he was male, stingy and nitpicky while bursting out some supplies, plus a bunch of greasy remarks like how in the future he could only heal him, be his exclusive healer.
The medicinal herbs brought that time weren’t Suifeng220’s own supplies either, so he wasn’t too heartbroken.
Alchemists need a lot of medicinal herbs; even with a team, they couldn’t gather that much in a short time. Originally, Sicily wanted to see if this guy could burst out more resources; unexpectedly no crystal coins, so no point pretending!
Suifeng220 sent several messages in a row before Sicily replied again:
“Wish yourself luck, or else buy a protective card with money. For the sake of us knowing each other, I can give you a friendly price; no freebies.”
Suifeng220 watched the zombie horde drawing closer, hurriedly asking, “What’s the price?”
He struggled to fight even one Ice Zombie, let alone seven or eight.
“Seems like you’re stockpiling upgrade materials, right? 100 Iron Blocks, 50 Steel Blocks, 10 Level Four/Level Five Component Cards, plus 200 Crystal Coins— take it or leave it, decide fast.”
Suifeng220’s eyes widened, looking at the so-called friendly price, his temples throbbing with veins.
Looting in a Fire and still calling it cheap!
It’s not like only he has protective cards! Suifeng220 hurriedly posted on the public screen, “High price buying Protective Shield Item Card @Wholesale King Wang Defa @The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain.”
At the same time copying the private chat; Yu Jiang’s private chat didn’t send, seeing the “Unable to Send” exclamation mark above, Suifeng220 grew even more anxious.
They’re called the Wealth Ranking; how could people up there lack ordinary supplies?
Besides, Suifeng220’s high price wasn’t very tempting; the price he posted in private chat was 200 Crystal Coins, 100 Iron Blocks, 50 Steel Blocks, 2 Component Cards.
The few who replied asking for offers instantly lost interest.
They were all manufacturing or merchant players; what they wanted wasn’t just these things— Protective Shield Item Cards were for their own survival; unless it came with attribute weapons or rare items, no deal.
Getting rejection replies, Suifeng220 gritted his teeth and agreed to Sicily’s demands; he really had no extra weapons or rare items.
Who knew Sicily would then demand direct friend gifting; Suifeng220 was scared too, but he had no choice, still harboring a sliver of hope in his heart.
Watching zombies pounce on the car front and smash the bumper askew in two hits, he agreed, then got blocked.
Sicily took the stuff and only said two words, “Thanks,” without giving him the item card.
Suifeng220 was so furious he kicked his own car; while flooring the accelerator, he vented language on the public screen, cursing several Wealth Ranking leaderboard players including Sicily, The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, Sad Pig Intestine.
[Sicily you f*cker, got rich entirely by pretending to be a woman to scam supplies; took my stuff and didn’t give the item card! You all better not trade with this dead shemale in the future!]
[The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, Sad Pig Intestine, Wholesale King Wang Defa, you see death and don’t save; you’ll get yours! *%$&]
Wholesale King Wang Defa didn’t indulge him: [I’m not your dad, scram; merchants hate starting the day unlucky, and I run into you.]
Sad Pig Intestine: [Wasn’t it just last time I didn’t agree to sell you fried noodles for 2 Iron Blocks? What you said, that noodle cake was just an Instant Noodle Cake I casually fried; one Instant Noodle Cake isn’t expensive, I told you to fry it yourself, and this time we didn’t even deal.]
Yu Jiang had just finished washing up; with the vehicle on autopilot, she sat at the small dining table eating vegetable lean pork porridge and fresh meat buns.
This old guy’s named ones were all merchants, manufacturing players, and her as an alchemist.
Yu Jiang replied indifferently: [Whether we get ours we don’t know, but you’re suffering big time right now lol ‘shrug’]
At the same time, zombies climbed onto Suifeng220’s car hood and smashed his windshield; cold air and roars instantly surged in.
He floored the accelerator, but the wheels were stuck with snow and zombies, unable to move; in panic and fear, he cursed at the zombies a few times.
“Fine! None of you live! The barefoot aren’t afraid of the shod— die together!”
Suifeng220 tremblingly pulled out an item card from the grid that he’d never been willing to use.
