Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

These days, who still uses cash!

After the meal, Liu Ruoyan helped wash the dishes and wipe the table, and then eagerly waited for Zhang Yuan to take out the weapons.

Zhang Yuan didn't mean to tease Liu Ruoyan either. He told Liu Ruoyan to wait a moment and then turned around and went to the bedroom.

Liu Ruoyan sat by the small square table waiting. The cool breeze from the fan gradually calmed her somewhat impatient heart.

Soon, Zhang Yuan walked out carrying a black suitcase.

Just by looking at the texture of the suitcase, one could tell that it was a good thing.

Whatever was packed in such a suitcase must also be a good thing, right?

Zhang Yuan placed the suitcase horizontally on the table and opened it with both hands.

At this moment, Liu Ruoyan noticed that Zhang Yuan was very fair-skinned.

It wasn't the kind of pallor that many people had from being indoors all year round. Zhang Yuan's fairness was a healthy kind.

His hands had distinct knuckles, long fingers, and his nails were round, full, and neatly trimmed.

Seeing Zhang Yuan's nails, the corners of Liu Ruoyan's mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

For a man who kept his nails clean and neat, Liu Ruoyan didn't necessarily have a strong liking for him, but at least she didn't dislike him.

Click.

With this soft sound, the suitcase was opened, and Liu Ruoyan focused her attention on the suitcase.

Inside, there was a silver pistol. The gun body was delicate and small, with the unique luster of metal.

Zhang Yuan picked up the pistol, removed the magazine, picked up the bullets in the box, and loaded them one by one.

When Liu Ruoyan saw Zhang Yuan putting the magazine back, her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her mouth to stop him.

But Zhang Yuan was faster than Liu Ruoyan. He raised his hand, aimed at the empty cola can placed on the box two meters away.

As Zhang Yuan pulled the trigger, the cola can instantly exploded.

It wasn't pierced but directly exploded, scattering like pieces of paper.

The largest piece, Liu Ruoyan thought, was about the size of her thumbnail.

This pistol was so small but had such great destructive power!

More importantly, although there was no silencer installed, it made no sound at all.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Liu Ruoyan wouldn't have believed it was true.

Zhang Yuan's fingers moved slightly, and the pistol spun a few times around his index finger. Finally, the muzzle pointed downwards and stopped spinning. Zhang Yuan then reached out and handed the pistol to Liu Ruoyan.

"Do you want to give it a try?"

In her previous life, although Liu Ruoyan had survived in the apocalypse for ten years, she had been struggling to survive all the time. Things like pistols, not to mention touching them, she had never even seen them.

After being reborn in this life, Liu Ruoyan had thought about buying one.

However, she had neither the connections nor the channels, and she didn't dare to inquire rashly for fear of being noticed.

Liu Ruoyan never expected that one day, a pistol would appear in front of her on its own.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Ruoyan still took it.

The pistol was unexpectedly heavy in her hand, completely beyond Liu Ruoyan's expectation.

It looked so small and delicate. Why was it so heavy?

The silver gun body looked really nice, but it was hard to tell what material it was made of.

Liu Ruoyan looked around the room and finally focused on the remaining empty cola can.

Liu Ruoyan had never fired a gun before and was a bit hesitant for a moment.

Just then, Zhang Yuan stood up, came behind her, bent slightly, and helped her adjust her grip on the gun.

Although he was behind her, he didn't lean against her back. There was a considerable distance between them.

Only his hands, when correcting her grip on the gun, touched her fingers. But after the correction, they immediately left, without making Liu Ruoyan feel the slightest discomfort.

Zhang Yuan walked back to his original position and sat down at some point. He showed a big smile to Liu Ruoyan.

"Don't be afraid. You're smart. You'll surely learn it quickly."

Hearing this, Liu Ruoyan took a deep breath and pulled the trigger with her finger.

The next moment, the cola can was shattered again.

Liu Ruoyan could feel the recoil when the bullet was fired, but it was completely within a bearable range.

Liu Ruoyan slowly put down her hand and looked at the pistol in her hand, satisfaction in her eyes.

"Zhang Yuan, how much do you plan to sell this for?"

When Liu Ruoyan asked this question, her eyes were shining.

"If you have gold, give me ten catties of gold. If not—"

"I have!"

Liu Ruoyan stood up. "Wait for me a moment. I'll go and get it."

After saying that, Liu Ruoyan turned around and left quickly, so fast that Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment.

However, after coming to his senses, Zhang Yuan shook his head with a smile.

Liu Ruoyan always had a cold and unapproachable look. Unexpectedly, when she encountered something she liked, she would also show such a girly side.

On the other side, Liu Ruoyan hurried back to her own home and started taking out gold from her space.

However, Liu Ruoyan didn't take the gold bricks she had prepared but the package of gold she got from the bald men.

At that time, Liu Ruoyan hadn't looked carefully and just put it directly into her space.

Now taking it out, Liu Ruoyan picked it up and felt the weight. It seemed to be several dozen catties.

She didn't know how many gold shops those ten bald men had actually robbed.

Liu Ruoyan didn't dwell on this too much. She carried the big package of gold and went back to Zhang Yuan's home.

She had left in such a hurry just now that she didn't close the door on her way out. The door was still open now.

Liu Ruoyan walked in and closed the door behind her to prevent more mosquitoes and flies from flying in.

Liu Ruoyan placed the package she was carrying on the ground. "The gold is all in here.

You only mentioned the price of this pistol just now. What about the price of the bullets?

I want to buy some more bullets."

When the package was placed on the ground, it made a dull thud. Just by listening to the sound, one could tell that it was quite heavy.

Zhang Yuan opened the package and took a look. Immediately, his eyebrows shot up.

"Bullets are sold by the piece. Charging you five grams of gold per bullet isn't too much, right?"

Liu Ruoyan shook her head. "Not too much."

Such a good pistol, without bullets, would be like a beautiful but useless thing, right?

It was understandable that the bullets were expensive.

Although they didn't have a scale, it didn't matter. The small price tags on each piece of gold jewelry were still there, clearly marking the weight in grams.

The two of them together first counted out ten catties of gold and placed it on the table, and then counted the rest.

The remaining gold was actually thirty-two catties, which was sixteen thousand grams.

At five grams per bullet, that was enough to buy 3200 bullets.

Liu Ruoyan pursed her lips. "Why don't you just decide? Sell me as many as you can."

Liu Ruoyan wasn't sure if Zhang Yuan had so many bullets.

Even if he did, would he sell her so many at once?

Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Ruoyan upon hearing this. Seeing the slightly worried look in Liu Ruoyan's eyes, he laughed heartily. "Are you worried that I don't have enough bullets?

Don't worry! There are plenty of bullets!"

Zhang Yuan said this as he stood up and walked towards the bedroom. Soon, he carried a box out. "Don't look at the box as being small. There are a thousand bullets packed solidly inside."
