Apocalypse World Reboot

The original "Nine Palaces Jue" was carefully put away by Xu Xian. He didn't expect that there was still material to be found in this book, so he couldn't help being a little cautious.Things do not recognize the owner, Xu Xian also wants to show Xu Jin, maybe he can gain something else.

This time Xu Ye led the team, and they went to a coastal city far away, because the temperature rose, the glaciers melted, and the sea level began to rise.There are some rumors in the base that many coastal areas have been submerged due to rising sea levels.

This news made many people nervous, because the plan to hunt zombies went relatively smoothly, at least not many zombies were seen when going out, so many people planned to move to the inland base.

Although there are many people around who are tempted or put into practical action, Xu Xian is not in a hurry.He started wandering around the base, and the places he visited most were the trading area and the black market.

There are too many materials in his space, so it is better to take the opportunity to release a batch. At this time, due to various factors such as moving back to the inland, the prices that were finally stable began to rise again.This is naturally a good thing for Seohyun.

Before, a small amount of medicines were left at Yi Han's place for consignment, but he couldn't take out more of them at all. Now because of the improvement of his mental power level, he can use the skill of mind control. In this way, after the transaction is over, these people will automatically By ignoring all his information, naturally no flaws will be exposed.

Generally speaking, Xu Xian can find some precious jewelry and antiques in small shops. Although the quantity is not large, Xu Xian has good eyesight and capital, so he can often exchange few things for these rare items.

And large stores often have surveillance cameras, Xu Xian must carefully cover up, so as not to be seen by others.In addition, he has also been to the black market, which is also a distribution center for treasures. In addition, human trading and crystal nucleus trading are indispensable components.

Of course, Xu Xian also saw a lot of new gadgets, because monks and priests appeared in the base, and some items similar to the resources of cultivating immortals began to circulate in the market.However, these things are not available to everyone. After the meteorite virus, human beings began to evolve. Generally, people who have reached the second level of spiritual power can use the most common talisman paper instruments.

Although the appearance of meteorites disturbed the magnetic field of the earth and destroyed the previous civilized society, but today's nature is full of spiritual energy, even meteorites and crystal nuclei, have the same effect as spiritual energy.

As a result, many cultivation cheats began to sell well in the market. Of course, only the upper class can afford such things, but the market is not big, and the evolutionary cultivated by the base is still the mainstream.In the peaceful era before the end of the world, these things can still be controlled, and now no one is too full to take care of them, so many beliefs are beginning to show signs of recovery.

Moreover, although the Central Base was the site of the original Demon City, it is no longer the first choice in people's minds as time has changed.The theory and prediction that rising sea levels will submerge coastal areas are not new before the end of the world, and some areas have even been submerged by sea water and no longer exist.

In contrast, the Tibet base is famous for its high altitude, and it is the default hope of many people, the starting place of Moya's Ark.

It’s not that the central base doesn’t have the idea of ​​moving inland, but when it comes to the division of interests, relocating the base is obviously not the best choice, not to mention that there are many problems in the plateau area, some of which cannot be solved even now.

For example, the most important drinking water and food problems, as well as altitude sickness, etc., these important factors related to life lead some people not to think that the Tibet base is the best choice, and Xu Xian also agrees with this point of view.

At least before the arrival of the flood season, Xu Xian has no plans to leave the main battlefield. The central base may hide crises, but it also breeds opportunities.Xu Xian's physical skills have been improved due to the continuous hunting of zombies, and he plans to hunt more difficult mutant animals next.

After all, relying on the current new weapons, the laser gun using the crystal core as the energy source can easily kill the third-order zombies, but this kind of weapon can only be equipped by the highest level of the army. Xu Xian will have it because of his elder brother Xu Ye. He does not intend to rely on this kind of weapon. new weapons.

Of course, the cost of the laser gun is astonishingly high, and the fact that the crystal nucleus must be filled when using it is also a bit speechless. Generally speaking, this thing can only be used as a life-saving weapon in a critical moment.

------

Xu Jin never came back, Xu Xian couldn't leave the base himself, and the zombies in the base were basically wiped out, so he went back to idle.

These days, Xu Xian haunts the trading market almost every day. There are many types and quantities of materials in his space, but there are also a small number of them that are not fully prepared.As the temperature rose, many ships became navigable, and bases near the central base also came to do business. The flow of materials and crystal nuclei accelerated, and the economy began to gradually recover.

The emergence of mutated animals has brought threats to human beings on the one hand, and opportunities on the other.After research, the meat of these mutated animals is generally edible. The fur and scales of some animals can even be made into clothing and armor, and various parts such as sharp claws and bones can also be made into weapons.The derivatives of these mutated animals are also very popular and have a market.

At the same time, the price of gold and silver jewelry began to rise, and many rich people began to sell out the goods with a short shelf life.Xu Xian had bought a large number of jewelry before this, but he has no plans to sell it for the time being. Besides, the price of the crystal core has been high, but if he exchanged it for food, he could still get a lot of it.

There is no shortage of commonly used seasoning bases such as table salt, and fine grains such as rice and white flour are very popular. Xu Xian has repeatedly sold tens of thousands of high-level crystal cores, and even some mutated animal cores.These alien crystal cores are also colorful, but the energy contained in them is more pure than that of zombie crystal cores. After realizing this, Xu Xian pays more attention to collecting the cores of mutant animals.

The price difference between the two was not big before, because the crystal nuclei of the same level were all about the same size. Xu Xian’s collection of such a large number of crystal nuclei raised the price of the crystal nuclei by [-] to [-]% in a short period of time, but under the mediation of the market, it was very difficult. Calm was almost restored.

But it's a pity that ordinary animals and plants are basically rare to see now, except for the base official and some family internal breeding supplies, others have no access to them at all.In Xu Xian's space, there are many chickens, ducks, fish, eggs, dairy products, and various fruits. Occasionally, he can exchange a small amount of dried vegetables and fruits for supplies, but more is not enough.

As for the medicines, besides the part that Xu Xian handed over to Yi Han for trading, he also took out some himself, but in order to avoid market saturation, the amount of medicines used for trading was very small.

Don't think that the market won't be saturated. The majority of civilians in the base now don't have much purchasing power. Most of the resources are in the hands of the upper class, and only they have the ability to buy these relatively expensive things.This is also the reason why Xu Xian often visits the black market to search for treasures. Facts have proved that the things in these places are more expensive than those outside, and they are all rare and good things in the past.

Yi Han's harvest soon proved this point. Seven or eight large solid wood boxes were filled with gold, silver, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, rare silk paintings and embroidery, silk products, golden cups, ancient Buddhas, emeralds and agates, and rare treasures from ancient countries in the Western Regions. Rare treasures and gold and gemstones from Europe and America.

Yi Han's family background, Xu Xian is not much different, and with the improvement of mental strength, he can feel this kind of things as long as he touches them, and the feeling of old things is different.

At this time, Yi Han was full of smiles: "Those medicines have come in handy, Wanjia, you know, most of the things are bought by their family, except for these things, there are also many crystal nuclei. Wanjia knows about those ancient relics If they can repay the debt, they are basically transferred to us. It seems that there are more people hoarding crystal nuclei now, and this kind of thing is not easy to keep, and many people find it troublesome."

Xu Xian nodded in satisfaction: "That's about it. If there are top-quality rubies like the rest, keep them. It's best not to accept ordinary things, and replace them with alien beast crystal cores."

Yi Han agrees very much: "That's how it should be. Now those mutated animals are very popular. It would be a pity not to take the opportunity to make a fortune..."

Xu Xian understood that Yi Han changed from his usual calmness and was so enthusiastic about making suggestions for himself.I have given him a lot of benefits before, presumably in order to keep such a big client or fat sheep, he will definitely do his best to handle this matter well.

Xu Xian absent-mindedly listened to Yi Han's advocacy, he was not surprised at all that the population of businessmen was good, he was thinking about these materials in his mind.

He has collected a lot of gold bars and silver nuggets from the south, which will be enough raw materials to make jewelry in the future, and he has also patronized many jewelry stores before, and he didn't miss any of them.

Antiques, calligraphy and paintings are really not good, and there is a treasure house that can be collected, so there is no need to make too much noise in the base.

He basically has everything for food and clothing, ranging from machine furniture to small needles and threads. Although Xu Xian can't do needlework, he still bought all kinds of silk threads, silk, cotton and linen, and even some small ones that can be DIYed. Things are also collected.

Xu Xian is an otaku, and he is quite interested in small and small manual work, but knitting sweaters is fine, because basically all production is mechanized, and the efficiency of manual work is too low.

Clothes, shoes, socks and other supplies in the base are already a bit tight. Before the apocalypse, the clothing mainly focused on decoration, but after the apocalypse, it will not work, and no matter how durable the clothes are, fighting with strange beasts and hunting zombies every day, at most half a month. To scrap a piece of clothing.

At present, some exotic animal costumes on the market fill this gap, but for those pampered ladies, these things are completely unattractive, unless the clothes are made quite beautifully, of course, this is almost impossible.Things at this stage are basically based on practicality.

Xu Xian is also considered a half-businessman. He knows when to do business to get the maximum profit. The premise is that he has the ability to predict and store space. In the long run, now is not a good time to sell clothes.

Xu Xian weighed it for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to sell medicine, and asked Yi Han's agent to help sell some food.

There is still a lot of food in the villa, and it is estimated that it can be consumed for more than a year, but before long, they may have to move back to the inland, and it is impossible to bring too much, so take advantage of the high price at this time to sell part of it in exchange for crystal nuclei It is also convenient to carry.

After all, crystal nuclei are now hard currency, which can be used as weapon energy and create new types of weapons. High-level crystal nuclei are more valuable, and no matter which base they are in, they can be exchanged for food.

A few days later, Xu Jin finally returned to the base, but what he brought back was not very good news.

Xu Ye made a serious wireless call with Xu Yan: "The temperature has been rising since March, and the sea level is also rising. During this trip, we found many large marine creatures, and some of them have never been seen before. There are also some mutated plants on land, but it is not yet confirmed whether they are edible."

Xu Yan sighed in his heart. Although he had been prepared for a long time, he was still very disappointed when he heard the news: "There is no way to do this. Let's find a way to move back to the inland. If this continues, the first step will be submerged sooner or later." In addition, don't take the waterway for a while."

Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat: "You mean..."

His younger brother had obviously been in Tibet all along, but he seemed to know more about the situation in the whole country than himself. Xu Ye ignored these doubts and was full of worries about the future of mankind.

"Don't worry, the improved version of the laser gun is under research. If it goes well, it will be a weapon of mass destruction comparable to nuclear weapons. With this, and the Ark project, at least the remaining tens of millions of people can be saved."

Xu Ye sighed: "That's the only way to go, but I don't think it's that easy to move the capital. If you want them to give up the power they have already obtained and go to another place to take control, no one will be willing to change it."

Xu Yan snorted coldly: "That depends on whether they want power or life."
