CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36 GRATEFUL BLAISE

In the apartment camp, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

Blaise watched Lin Yi looking around the camp, hesitating for a while, and repeated.

"Thanks for your help, but we’re really out of everything—no ammunition, no weapons, and definitely no food..."

"But you have a large family to feed, don’t you?" Lin Yi had a gentle smile on his lips.

Blaise was puzzled by these words, unable to figure out Lin Yi’s intentions.

Lin Yi pulled out a potato, unhurriedly: "I have food and I’m willing to exchange it for Survivor Coins—"

"Great!" The blonde woman jumped up in excitement, but before she could steady herself, Blaise glared at her sternly.

Lin Yi casually tossed the potato to Blaise.

He then explained that he had trade relations with the camps at the Louvre, Sacred Heart Cathedral, and the Commercial Building.

"Hubert, the leader, is planning to expand the camp and take in new survivors. If you’re willing, you can stay there for a while."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Blaise’s expression visibly relaxed, and there was more trust in his eyes.

After all, very few people know the name of the leader of the Commercial Building camp.

Blaise asked, "What’s the price for food?"

"Two and a half Coins per pound."

"That’s a decent price... How much food can you sell us?"

"How about we start with 450 pounds?"

"Really?!" The blonde woman cried out in excitement again.

Blaise glanced at his excitable companion, keeping a stern face: "When can you deliver the goods?"

"In an hour."

With these words, Blaise’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t maintain his stoic expression any longer.

In his camp, they had never collected more than 300 pounds of food reserves at once.

He originally thought the other party would need ten days to half a month.

So he first agreed, planning to shift ground regardless of whether it was real or fake once they left.

Unexpectedly, the other party was serious!

Although he tried his best to conceal his shock, his constantly twitching brows betrayed his emotions.

After agreeing, Lin Yi walked out of the apartment.

At this moment, because all the zombies nearby were commanded by the mutated zombie to come to the apartment, the streets seemed particularly safe.

Lin Yi quickened his pace, and as soon as he found a secluded residential building, he immediately returned to the Shelter.

He instructed Xiaochuan not to slack off in surveillance and then found a place to sit down, taking out the green Reward Egg obtained from the mutated zombie.

The mutated zombie had given him a total of 200 Experience Points, making his experience bar jump to 64%.

Lin Yi believed the reward this time should be good.

He crushed the Reward Egg, and the system prompt sounded in his mind:

[Hunter’s Bow, Level 3]

Professionally crafted for cowards afraid to face combat directly. The recommended range for this bow can reach 100 meters. Make sure to aim at the enemy.

[Note: This bow can only fire special Arrows. It takes 1 unit of Magic Power to generate an Arrow]

Cowards?!

Lin Yi recalled Immanuel telling him that the system would change item descriptions based on certain people. He was now convinced that the system was intentionally mocking him.

Lin Yi lowered his head, gently stroking the bow’s body. A range of 100 meters was already sufficient to play a significant role in monster hunting.

It’s just that he wasn’t of the Archer Profession, but it would be great if the camp could train someone in archery.

Then they’d have an extra little sniper.

Lin Yi silently thought to himself, "Create arrows..."

In an instant, he felt a dizziness in his mind, but he quickly returned to normal.

Looking at his hand again, a shimmering Arrow had appeared.

[Note: You spent one Magic Power on a spell. Don’t do this anymore—it’s bad for you because you’re not a Mage]

Haha, system, I’ve got my eyes on you!

Forty minutes later.

Lin Yi, carrying Da Chuan, Louis, and a backpack full of potatoes, headed to Blaise’s apartment camp.

The three of them were burdened with heavy potatoes, and Lin Yi carried 200 pounds alone, yet his pace remained light and fast.

After walking some distance, he turned to look at the two exhausted employees, panting like dead dogs.

"Why are you guys so weak? In a few days, I’ll make you Professionals. Then you’ll be top-notch movers!"

Da Chuan and Louis decided to remain silent.

When Blaise saw Lin Yi and the others and the backpacks they carried, he visibly let out a sigh of relief: "You really came!?"

"Business is based on trust, my reputation is very important to me." Lin Yi chuckled, placing the potatoes on the ground, indicating that the other party could do as they pleased.

In no time, Blaise called over two subordinates to carry and weigh the potatoes.

Once everything was completed.

Blaise took a Coin out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi: "This is a thousand Coins."

"Ha? There’s a thousand denominated Coin? I’ve never seen this before." Lin Yi accepted the golden Coin, feeling quite novel.

"I just learned this trick." Blaise said, taking out a Coin of 100 denomination.

He held the Coin, pressing forcefully on both sides, and the Coin turned into two Coins of 50 denomination.

Seeing Lin Yi’s surprised expression, Blaise smiled and explained: "You just have to press here and think of the denomination you want in your mind, and you can fuse or split the Coin’s value."

Haha, this is quite the big intel!

From now on, he won’t have to lug around those heavy gold lumps during trades.

Lin Yi took out a bag of ammunition from the backpack and handed it to Blaise: "Consider this as payment for the intelligence."

Blaise was momentarily stunned, and then his expression became extremely excited and serious.

Currently, their base is lacking in resources, aside from the potatoes Lin Yi just brought, they have almost nothing.

Not to mention facing zombies, even if a random group of Professionals came, they wouldn’t be able to defend the camp full of injured people.

But with this ammunition, it’s a different story!

After all, at their core, today’s Professionals are still human and not invincible.

Although it’s only 40 rounds of 9mm bullets, if used properly, it should be possible to hold out until the camp’s Professionals recover.

This is undoubtedly life-saving aid!

Blaise took a deep breath, and with a solemn expression, said: "Really, thank you so very much!"

"Enough of that," Lin Yi looked around and noticed many camp members were packing up, and asked: "Does your group frequently move camps?"

"Yes." Blaise answered truthfully.

"I’ve just arrived in this area. Can you tell me about other forces?"

Upon hearing this question, Blaise’s expression immediately turned serious.

He quickly pulled Lin Yi to sit down, afraid his newfound friend might get wronged here, thus sharing everything he knew without reservation.

It turns out, there are three major forces around.

True God Brotherhood, Wasp Gang, and Paradise Palace, which is dominated entirely by female sovereigns!
