Chapter 10

Inside a certain residence.

‘You stay at home with Matthew, I'll be right back.' Marcus had recovered a lot after a night's rest, both physically and mentally.

‘You ...... must be careful!' The wife was actually unwilling to let her husband go out, but this was a once-in-a-lifetime time to hoard resources, and if she missed it, she would have to endure hunger again.

‘Don't worry, I know what to do.'

Marcus had been a mountain climber, and naturally there was no shortage of such equipment as hiking bags at home, so he casually picked one up on his back and rushed out the door with his hiking crutches as a precautionary measure.

At this moment, almost all the survivors had gathered near the neighbourhood, without exception, they were all grabbing for the cards, and some of them even fought over a blue card.

Marcus didn't choose to scramble with them, but instead turned into an alleyway and picked up the cards scattered on the street after leaving the neighbourhood.

Marcus was lucky, and in less than ten minutes, he got more than thirty white and green cards, and even a blue card.

‘It's almost enough for our family of three for a week if we save our money.'

Marcus was full of joy, just as he continued to look for the cards, his head was hit by something, and with a smooth touch, he found that it was a colourful coloured card.

‘A colourful ...... card?!'

Marcus's pupils stared, his heart nearly jumped out of his throat, he didn't even look at it, the first thing he did was to stuff the coloured card into his shoe.

Fools also know that the value of this coloured card must be very high.

‘Marcus, pick up as many cards as you can.'

Marcus had just stood up when three burly young men suddenly appeared behind him.

Marcus knew them, is the neighbourhood's famous street sneak, all day loitering, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all proficient, but we live in the same neighbourhood, when they meet, they will still say hello.

Marcus smiled and said, ‘It's Adrian ah, I came out late, didn't pick up much.'

‘Didn't pick up much that's how much?' Adrian smiled and stepped forward, without saying, snatched Marcus's mountaineering bag, unfolded a look, let out a strange laugh: ‘Yoho, quite a lot ah! Aren't there dozens of these.'

‘Adrian, what ...... are you doing?' Marcus weakly opened his mouth, he would have been a man with a weak character, otherwise he would not have hunkered down at home and not dared to go out.

‘Did not do anything ah, is with you to borrow some cards.' Adrian stuffed all the cards into his pocket, and cheekily threw the hiking bag back to Marcus.

Wolfe was Adrian's mate, and seeing that Marcus was a little angry, he kicked him in the face without saying a word, ‘Fuck! Are you fucking defiant? What's that look in your eyes?'

Marcus fell to the ground, his body trembling.

‘Come on Zhicheng, we can't do anything that bullies honest people.' Adrian smiled and waved his hand, ‘Hurry up and pick up the cards while it's still raining.'

The trio immediately left Marcus behind and walked towards the distance.

Marcus saw the trio walking away before he covered his face and stood up, secretly thankful that he had to keep his eyes peeled, or else he would have been caught in a pot.

On the other side, the rogue trio searched for the card.

‘Adrian, I have something I don't know if I should say or not.' Wolfe licked his lips.

‘We're brothers, if you have something to say, you don't have to hide it.' Adrian gave him a curious look.

‘Marcus his wife, quite pretty, had a child Naija is also very big!'

‘......?'

At these words, all three stopped dead in their tracks.

Adrian blushed oddly, but quickly turned grimly evil as he gave Wolfe a ride on his shoulder, ‘What's the matter, listen to you mean you want to... Hmm?'

Wolfe was full of bad jokes, ‘It's the end of the world, monsters are running rampant, and who knows when we'll get killed by monsters, I want to get high before I die, and I've actually been wanting to get that pussy for a long time.'

Grant licked his lips and let out a bad grin, ‘I don't have a problem with that, there's no law now anyway, cops don't give a shit, let's see what Adrian has to say, I'll listen to Adrian.'

Adrian rubbed his crotch, ‘A woman, but it's just right to serve the three of us... If you hadn't said it, I hadn't really thought about it that way, her wife does have a big enough heart.'

‘But Adrian, what if Marcus finds out?'

‘That's not a bad idea, just get him killed.'

‘Hehehe...'

The three hooligans glanced at each other, their hearts pounding, the card was too lazy to pick it up, and with a bad smile, they folded back towards the neighbourhood.

......

The rain of cards lasted less than an hour before it stopped, and Marcus, fearing that monsters would appear next, made seven detours, deliberately avoiding the crowds to go home.

When he arrived in front of his house, he noticed something was wrong, the door was open.

‘Honey, why didn't you close the door? I picked up quite a few cards and came back, it should be enough for us...'

The voice came to an abrupt end.

It was as if Marcus's throat had been choked by a large invisible hand, and the scene that came into view was incomparably bleak, like hell on earth.

‘Welcome home!'

Henry had just parked the Ghostfire in front of the door when the caravan's door opened from the inside, revealing Annie's pretty face overflowing with youth.

Henry was slightly stunned, and for a moment he had the feeling that it was like a lifetime ago, when Fiona would say the same thing to him every time in his previous life.

‘Well, back.'

Henry smiled, pulling the Ghostfire key out and walking into the caravan.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Henry couldn't help but say, ‘Waiting for me specifically?'

‘Well.' Annie blushed slightly.

Henry has long been not just out of school fledgling, there is no reason not to know Annie's mind, just at present he does not have the heart to engage in what the children love.

The early post-apocalyptic period is an important moment to hoard resources, directly affecting how long he can survive in the post-apocalyptic world, in front of the life, sex as a spice can only be back row.

After a hasty lunch, Henry observed the strange face on the sky dome, according to the experience of his previous life, with the current changes in the strange face, there should still be 3~4 hours under the ‘blood rain', before that he had to go and do an important thing.

‘I'm going out, you watch the house.'

Henry slung a school bag with food and water on his back and drove towards the opposite neighbourhood in a flash on his Ghostfire.

He was going to do a little trading.

Just now, going out to scavenge for cards was rather unsuccessful, apart from picking up a few resource-based gold cards, the rest were all silver, blue and green cards, so he planned to take his chances in the neighbourhood and see if he could trade for some high-quality cards.

For these residents, food and drink were the most important.

When Henry arrived at the garden of the neighbourhood, the garden was empty, not even a ghost shadow.

But he knew that the residents of the neighbourhood were all hiding in their respective homes, and there were dozens of pairs of eyes watching him right now.

‘I don't mean you guys any harm, I just came over to trade with you, I have a large amount of food and water cards here, and would like to trade with you for green cards, blue cards besides food. If there are silver or gold cards, I'm willing to offer a higher percentage.'

Henry took the initiative to show his sincerity by opening his book bag and taking out the stacks of white cards inside.

‘The opportunity is too good to miss, I'll only stay for a short while.'

Henry's face at this moment was no different from the vendors who set up stalls in front of university towns, quite pro-grounded.

After yelling for a short while, someone came out cautiously from the building, a young couple, twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

‘What's all the cards?' Henry opened the door.

‘One blue, five green, and the white has...' The man spoke timidly, no wonder he was scared, last night he hadn't been personally involved in the ‘mouth begging' activity, but he had heard from his next door neighbours and they had a one word review of Henry - ruthless.

‘No white ones, blue and green cards let me see.'

Henry took the card and looked at it, his eyes disgusted, ‘This is all useless ah, I will give you up to twenty white cards, food or drink are randomly picked, change or not?'

Man heard casually pick food and drink, busy nodding, ‘change change change, we want five food, fifteen water.'

‘Okay, take it.'

Henry was not ambiguous and handed the card over.

The first sale was successfully completed.

As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two, other people see Henry really come over to do trade, also no longer hesitate, have to go downstairs to trade cards with Henry, soon Henry put more than a thousand resources white card, exchanged for more than three hundred ‘not very useful' blue and green cards.

It looked as if Henry had lost money, but in reality, he had earned a lot of scalp.

It was important to know that the normal card trading ratio was 10:1.

Only 10 white cards can be exchanged for 1 green card, 100 white cards can be exchanged for 1 blue card, and so on, if the transaction is carried out through the ‘trading terminal', he will be able to exchange 100 green cards.

It's a proper internal test player benefit.

Seeing that the cards were almost exchanged, Henry was also ready to leave, when a familiar voice came from behind him, ‘Colour cards... How do I change them?'

‘......?!'

Henry's entire body froze, looking at Marcus, the man who had begged for food from him last night, he settled down and lowered his voice, ‘You have coloured cards? What name card?'

He had to make sure the other man wasn't fooling him first.

‘Space Ring, ten cubits.' Marcus whispered.

‘Hiss...'

Henry sucked in a breath of cool air.
