Alliance

Entry 867431: 10086, why don't you just rob for it? Ten grenades, a handgun, two bulletproof vests, or trade a Silver-level blueprint for a piece of S alloy.

Entry 346335: Damn it, I had over ten pieces of S alloy before, but I couldn't resist and sold them all! Damn it, now I can only afford eight pieces with my entire fortune. I'm freaking out!

Entry 989234: Hey, what's the use of talking about this now? Find a way to gather resources and exchange for S alloy! There's only half a month left until the meteor shower arrives. If we don't hurry and build underground bunkers, we'll be doomed.

Entry 7564234: What's the point of giving up everything to buy S alloy? After finally building the underground bunkers, we'll have no supplies for daily life. We'll starve and die of thirst in the bunker. Isn't that even more frustrating?

Waldo had been watching the chat channel's content.

He felt no sympathy for these survivors.

On the contrary, he became even more determined to stabilize the prices and make more gains.

In this disaster, all he wanted was to ensure the survival of his team of three.

If he lowered the prices out of a momentary softness, the worst-case scenario would be that other opportunistic survivors would buy from him and resell at higher prices.

Rather than letting others profit, he wanted to be the first to benefit.

Whether the price of S alloy increased or decreased after he sold it didn't concern him.

He had already set aside enough S alloy for future needs.

Waldo spoke in the chat channel.

Entry 10086: Everyone, S alloy is now available. This is a must-buy item. Aren't you planning to buy it?

Entry 353452: I can't afford it. Can't I gather it myself?

Entry 10086: Brother, not to rain on your parade, but collecting S alloy is not as simple as you think. Even after going out so many times in the past few days, I only managed to collect a dozen pieces. It was thrilling, to say the least. So, I advise you to exchange for S alloy as soon as possible and survive this meteor shower disaster.

Entry 546342: 10086, can't you make it cheaper?

Entry 10086: No, that won't work. As they say, scarcity drives up prices. With such limited production of S alloy now, it wouldn't be fair to sell it cheaply to everyone.

Entry 677454: 10086, we're all human beings. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for being so ruthless?

Entry 10086: I've heard these words many times, and it's really boring. All I know is that if I don't collect enough supplies, I'll starve and die of thirst. Also, forget about divine retribution. If you don't build underground bunkers during this meteor shower, that could be considered divine retribution, right?

The other survivors had no choice.

Clearly, Waldo was not easily swayed.

He was a qualified survivor, showing no unnecessary sympathy.

Unless they had enough bargaining chips to convince him, many survivors would have to yield.

After all, what were supplies worth in the face of a real crisis?

The meteor shower could really kill people.

In the past, they could hide from zombies, but the system announcement clearly stated that only by hiding in underground bunkers could they escape disaster.

Waldo's S alloy on the shelves began to sell one after another.

Although the price was high, it was still somewhat acceptable.

After all, it only took twenty pieces of S alloy to build an underground bunker.

Many people still had some stock in their hands.

Some survivors, despite the pain, purchased twenty pieces of S alloy from Waldo, leaving them empty-handed.

Waldo didn't care how many pieces these survivors bought; he was the one making money.

He just marveled at how making a fortune truly meant making money.Reorganizing the infinite supplies obtained in the past few days:

Infinite hand sanitizer, infinite cotton swabs, infinite gauze, infinite alcohol, infinite anti-inflammatory medicine.

Now, they didn't have to worry about supplies temporarily.

They could even guarantee having meat for every meal and sufficient protein intake every day.

Sometimes they would indulge in a glass of red wine and enjoy the air-conditioned villa while watching TV.

Compared to other survivors, this kind of life could truly be considered top-notch luxury.

However, at this moment, many people had reached their limit with Waldo.

The villa area was now a chaotic mix of people.

Although Waldo had conducted a major purge that deterred many covetous individuals, this time, the survivors in the villa area erupted due to the S alloy.

They had also fallen victim to Waldo's scheme and sold their own S alloy at a low price.

But when the system announcement came out, they were dumbfounded.

The meteor shower was about to come!

Underground bunkers had to be built!

And S alloy turned out to be the material for building underground bunkers!

As a result, the price of S alloy skyrocketed.

But time waits for no one, and they could only grit their teeth and buy back the S alloy at a high price before the meteor shower arrived.

Naturally, they held Waldo accountable for this.

In one of the villas in the villa area, dozens of survivors sat densely packed together.

They came from several different teams.

But because of Waldo's presence, they were forced to gather together.

A group of people in the hall were filled with indignation, all condemning Waldo's crimes.

A burly man dissatisfiedly said, "10086, relying on his abundant supplies, has monopolized several times already. The supplies we painstakingly gathered were easily plundered by him through despicable means. He's taken all the benefits for himself!"

A bespectacled young man next to the burly man frowned as well.

That's right, this S alloy monopoly incident has caused a huge uproar. I'm sure all of us living in the villa area are stressed because of this. And 10086, he must be reveling in our misfortune right now!

We must overthrow this capitalist lackey!

The young man's words resonated with many present, and they expressed their agreement one after another.

Yes, we need to unite and eradicate 10086 together!

Before, we were wary of 10086's pistols and that automatic defense system, but times have changed. We have pistols now, and we have grenades. 10086's few pistols and the crossbow bolts and muskets on the defense system are nothing to fear!!

Overthrow 10086 and build a harmonious order together!

However, at this moment, the young man adjusted his glasses, squinted his eyes, and said, "10086 must be eliminated, but if we launch a strong attack, casualties are inevitable. We need to find a way to achieve our goal without shedding blood."

Those who initially suggested a strong attack suddenly fell silent.

They hadn't considered that aspect.

After all, with so many people, even a single person's saliva could drown 10086. Why would they fear him?

However, after the young man's reminder, they remembered 10086's previous achievements.

He was definitely a tough opponent!

He could easily take some of the survivors who were besieging him with a fierce counterattack before he died.

No one wanted to take that risk.

Therefore, everyone agreed with the young man's statement and no longer entertained the idea of launching a strong attack.
