In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

"Minister Zhang, I'll give you one instruction: find every possible way to exchange these things for large quantities of food, medicine, and other survival supplies. Although we don't lack these things now, these supplies are far from enough for us to rebuild human civilization in the future!"

"Yes, I guarantee the completion of the task!" Minister Zhang immediately agreed.

In fact, Li Ming's method was very simple, not complicated at all: rob the rich to help the poor.

He set the price of survival supplies in a range that hardworking survivors could afford, trying to ensure that more people could survive.

As for where the supplies came from, hehe, of course, it was from fleecing these rich people!

As for whether Li Ming's actions would make the rich unhappy, it definitely would.

But the problem is that the transaction is voluntary. Li Ming isn't forcing anyone to buy or sell. What can you do if you're not happy?

Even if you are strong, how do you compare to tens of millions of organized crime members?

Tens of millions of organized crime members were executed under Li Ming's orders. Such bloody methods were enough to keep some people in line.

........

Li Ming was now deep in thought. The popularity of condoms was really beyond his expectations. But after thinking about it carefully, it actually made sense.

As the saying goes, in chaotic times, a woman is worth a bushel of rice, but in prosperous times, a woman is worth a thousand gold.

At any time, once in a chaotic world, a woman's status is very humble. Whether actively or passively, they basically become tools for some people or forces.

That was just chaotic times. Now it's the apocalypse. In the apocalypse, a woman is not worth a bushel of rice, but a piece of bread, a bag of instant noodles, or a pound of old rice can buy a woman home!

Civilization is lost, morality is degraded, and everywhere is full of blood and violence!

The evil of human nature has been magnified to the extreme. Some violent organizations don't treat women as human beings at all. They use various violent means to control women and turn them into tools for exchanging supplies every day.

As for what to do if they get sick or injured, hehe, organized crime won't waste precious medicine to treat you. You still have to be forced to work before you die.

In these circumstances, it is easy to break out some diseases. In the apocalypse, there is a shortage of doctors and medicine, and these diseases are absolutely fatal.

What 'die under the peony blossoms, to be a ghost is also romantic' is all bullshit. It is very comfortable to vent, but it is also true that it will kill you!

Moreover, the medical system in the apocalypse has completely collapsed. There is a lack of both medicine and medical equipment, but humans just happen to be emotional animals. The more difficult it is to live, the more they need spiritual comfort.

In this case, it is not surprising that these things are of high value.

.......

Li Ming's bloody crackdown, to some extent, was also a protection for women. Without his bloody crackdown, it is estimated that many women would live more miserably than they do now.

So even though his crackdown was very bloody and executed tens of millions of people, these ordinary survivors still did not have much fear of the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce's army.

Because everyone is very clear that this army is essentially an armed force to maintain social order. Once this army is gone, they will definitely live a miserable life.

Although at the beginning, during the bloody crackdown, it did scare some ordinary people, but after the crackdown, everyone found that as long as they did not show hostility to this army or make attacking movements, this army would not attack ordinary people.

This made many people feel the significance of the existence of this army. What about private armies? As long as they can maintain order, we will still support private armies.

At the same time, many grassroots survivors found that as long as they went out and diligently collected various things, they could get points from the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce.

Thereby purchasing the supplies they needed. Everyone held a positive attitude towards the existence of the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce, so Li Ming's market transaction share of the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce also became larger and larger.

So much so that it also attracted many merchants to come here to do business.

Li Ming's market has become the veritable market leader throughout the empire, with a free trading environment, guaranteed safety, good credit, and a complete range of goods.

To some extent, the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce has a greater role than super-giant state-owned enterprises involving the national economy and the people's livelihood.

The survivors have all discovered that the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce collects everything, as long as it is useful.

Books, paper, office supplies, scrap copper and iron, anti-theft doors, home appliances, hardware, and even wood are collected. In short, as long as you are willing to go out to find supplies and have a way to transport them here, there will always be a way to survive.

Although the recycling value of many things is not high, it can't stop the large number of these things and they are everywhere.

You should know that Li Ming's army mainly collected some hardware and daily necessities in large shopping malls, markets, and supermarkets when they went out to collect supplies. Food was not the main focus of collection.

This can be regarded as indirectly giving the survivors hope to survive.

Of course, Li Ming is very clear that the stability of the current social order is only temporary. As long as the end of the world does not end, the natural disasters will not end.

Each large-scale natural disaster will produce a large number of thugs and organized crime.

The harsh living environment is the root cause of the thugs, so Li Ming strengthened the armed patrols and other work on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to improve his ability to cope with the end-of-world natural disasters.

He decided to carefully check the progress of the rewards for upgrading his level 3 base.

The two most important rewards are the cold-resistant potatoes. This thing can be said to be specially rewarded for extreme cold.

He went directly to the experimental center for inspection.

"Old Wang, what is the research and development progress of these cold-resistant potatoes?" Li Ming asked.

"Chief, we have successfully planted cold-resistant potatoes and have cultivated the first batch of seeds. After trial planting experiments, it was found that this batch of seeds is indeed very suitable for growing in extremely cold environments."

"The taste and flavor of this cold-resistant potato are definitely not as good as ordinary potatoes, but the yield of this thing is okay, at least it can reach about 60-70% of the normal yield of ordinary potatoes when only one nutrient solution is used," Old Wang explained.

Li Ming nodded, "Old Wang, do you have a sample of the cold-resistant potato?"

Old Wang directly pressed a button, and soon someone brought up a sample of the cold-resistant potato.

Li Ming saw that the potato was about 2 taels. Then he picked up a small knife and cut the cold-resistant potato open. After cutting it open, Li Ming saw the inside of the potato.

He frowned slightly when he saw this cold-resistant potato because the skin of this thing was very thick and hard, and it was difficult to cut open.

But there was still some moisture inside this thing, and the starch looked sufficient, but the veins inside looked very thick, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to chew if eaten raw.
