Chapter 120

As Chen Luos group disembarked from their vehicles, a short and shabby-looking man, accompanied by several women dressed provocatively with decent looks, immediately approached and called out from a distance.

Hey handsome, want to come and play?

Including Zhao Hai, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

They called him handsome; who wouldnt turn around at that?

Chen Luo instantly understood the situation.

Some women were afraid to fight zombies but still wanted to survive. What could they do?

Or perhaps some morally corrupt men were using force to gather supplies.

Chen Luo not only understood in an instant, but so did everyone else, including you, perhaps?

The sleazy man wore a fawning smile, clearly recognizing that this group was sizable and likely had some power.

He showed his yellowed teeth and said, Brothers, want to have some fun? Just ten kilograms of rice or a second-level crystal will do.

Crystals could make survivors stronger, and when supplies werent too scarce, they were a valuable commodity.

The four women behind him displayed a range of expressions: some were bold, some couldnt meet anyones gaze, and some had evasive eyes.

Chen Luo had no intention of getting involved and furrowed his brow, saying, Move aside.

The sleazy man had decent observational skills and could tell that Chen Luo, based on his posture and demeanor, was likely the leader. However, he clearly didnt know his place.

Big brother, lets be friends. Its free for you. How about it?

Chen Luo looked disgusted and replied, Are you blind? Do I look like someone who would associate with your kind? Or do I look like I lack that ten kilograms of rice? Go away.

Damn it, its the apocalypse, and this guy still wants to suck blood from women. Chen Luo couldnt stand such people.

Seeing Chen Luo getting angry, the sleazy man finally realized his mistake. Even though he had been scolded, he didnt dare to show any temper and instead nodded obsequiously before leaving.

Chen Luo muttered to himself, Man, Im a good guy.

The trading point was on the highway, and people had parked their vehicles on the sides, setting out some goods in front of their cars, resembling a marketplace.

It was like a gathering.

People brought by Chen Luo marveled at the lively scene, something they hadnt seen in a long time.

No one was using money to trade for goods anymore; it was a futile endeavor in these times. Even gold, with its pre-apocalypse allure, held no value.

However, anything that wasnt rice, flour, or snack-related items could be exchanged for crystals, and Chen Luo didnt hesitate to do so. Second-level crystals had lost their value to him, as he had third-level crystals, and he had no intention of using second-level crystals again.

But for most people, these second-level crystals were like treasures.

One group had placed diesel fuel in front of their stall, and there was even a car full of it parked behind them. Chen Luos eyes lit up. Despite having collected a fair amount of fuel and having some stored in his space ability, more was always better, especially considering the future need for power generation.

Chen Luo approached them and asked, How much for it?

The leader of the group, a young man, replied, One third-level crystal for a barrel, or three second-level crystals, and we dont dilute it.

No bargaining, please, he added.

Chen Luo gave a faint smile. Alright, Ill take it all.

The young man was surprised. All of it?

Most people wouldnt have much use for this diesel fuel, and it was relatively easy to collect a small amount with a bit of effort.

One of the men standing nearby said, We have 45 barrels here.

Chen Luo nodded to Chen Guang beside him, who took out a bag and shook it, counting out 135 crystals.

Chen Luo divided the crystals into 11 bags, each containing 1,000 crystals.

The young man and his companions stared in shock at the bags filled with crystals. It took their breath away.

What a tycoon! To have so many crystals, his power must be immeasurable, they thought.

Chen Luo chuckled inwardly, knowing that this was just a small portion of what he had.

The young man raised his thumbs up and said, Big brother, youre amazing, truly amazing. Lets consider it a friendly gesture. My name is Deng Xianhong, and you only need to give me 100 crystals.

Chen Luo waved his hand dismissively, No need.

Deng Xianhong was momentarily taken aback. Indeed, how could he expect someone like Chen Luo to care about just 35 crystals? His perspective was too narrow.

Deng Xianhong quickly added, Big brother, we just came to take a look. Selling oil was just an incidental thing. Consider this truck of oil a gift to you as a token of our friendship. We sincerely want to be friends.

What more could Chen Luo say? This person was so courteous and sweet-tongued.
