Evacuation

Nilam was also desperately ramming the big door. Rumble… The entire base trembled constantly, and countless small insects were startled awake, crawling and swarming everywhere. Long Ming was rather speechless inside. He had already run away, yet that fellow refused to give up, causing such a commotion. If he ran into a group of alarmed insect monsters, it would be over! The most urgent task now was to leave here as soon as possible. At that moment he saw a dropped Baka rifle beside a corpse lying on the ground ahead. Long Ming cursed softly under his breath. “Damn crazy!” As he ran past the corpse, he reached out, picked it up, and slung it over his shoulder. In fact, he knew exactly how many abandoned Baka rifles lay along the escape route. Although reason told Long Ming he shouldn't pick it up, he was unwilling to just let it go—after all, he had thrown away the ones he had picked up before. So he decided to take a gamble—the timid starve while the bold burst. Since they all had to evacuate anyway, he might as well get enough at once. Shortly afterward, Long Ming rushed out of the center base gate safe and sound, with five Baka rifles slung over his body. He turned to look around, and after confirming there was no danger, he left immediately. Over an hour later, on the barren mountain road, Long Ming walked forward panting, occasionally raising his wristband to check the direction, making sure he had not taken the wrong path. The nearest evacuation point to the military base around here was over thirty kilometers away. Therefore Long Ming needed to cross the mountain before him. Soon he reached the mountain peak, and cool breezes blew toward him. Long Ming couldn't help but stop, turn, and gaze into the distance at the majestic Ante City and the silent garrison base, revealing a wistful expression. After leaving this time, he did not know if there would be another chance to come to this world. “Hah~” Long Ming exhaled deeply and continued walking forward. Five hours later. Long Ming finally arrived at the evacuation point. He looked at the evacuation platform before him and revealed a bright smile. He stepped onto the evacuation platform without the slightest hesitation. Hum~ His wristband vibrated, popping up a prompt. “Evacuate?” Long Ming immediately selected evacuate. Hum~ Instantly the mechanical platform was activated, and Long Ming began to float upward bit by bit. When Long Ming came to, he instantly appeared in Fanxing City. Fanxing City was extremely lively right now, with players everywhere. “Wow, look at the big shot!” “Awesome, look at all the gear he's wearing.” “Especially that mask, so cool!” “Tch, what's so special—obviously bought with money at a glance.” Voices of discussion came from beside him. Long Ming turned and glanced, seeing many players watching him enviously. After all, most players now didn't even have a decent weapon in hand. Long Ming ignored them, instead raising his wristband to put the gear he was wearing into the warehouse, then walking toward the central mechanical pillar, opening the mall as he neared it. He quickly checked current weapon prices. In fact, that reseller Tao Ge had said it right—time is money, every minute delayed and the market price would drop a point. Now the market price for ordinary rifles had already dropped from 500,000 Yiwei coins to 350,000 Yiwei coins, with considerable fluctuations depending on durability. Seeing this price, Long Ming was also a bit surprised, not expecting them to still be worth so much money. Based on his understanding of the market, the initial price of weapons before had been sky-high and very unreasonable. This was because some tycoons didn't treat money as money—if someone sold, they would buy. Now that so much time had passed, weapons were also being mass-produced, and they could still sell for 350,000, showing huge demand. After all, based on Long Ming's experience, the final price of ordinary weapons should be within 100,000, and should not exceed the value of purple items. Afterward he checked medicines. The result was that medicines were instead quite steady—a bottle of potent healing serum with similar effects to insect-heal serum was still priced at 60,000 Yiwei coins. Long Ming quickly tallied all gains from this instance: Gecko automatic pistol ×1, Kagba tactical dagger ×1, Tactical Dagger, BSK-01 Grenade Carbine, Red Ghost Mask, GT-01 Tactical Gloves, PSL-01 Powered Mechanical Shoes, multifunction tactical belt, gray combat uniform ×1, infantry bulletproof vest ×1, infantry tactical backpack ×1, 5.56mm magazine (30 rounds) ×5, bullets (60 rounds), insect-heal serum ×15, Baka rifle ×6, Deceased Series DK-01 lighter (purple), Fanny's Diary (purple), Baolan watch (purple), Platinum Honor Medal (purple), Exquisite Magnetic Card (purple), Emerald Blue Ring (purple), Old Moon Chain (red), unopened gene box ×1, Military Close Combat Manual (white). As for everything else, it was thrown away. Long Ming hesitated not at all, listing the five Baka rifles and ten insect-heal serums, pricing them relatively low. As for the remaining purple items, Long Ming directly opened the mall's recycle interface: Deceased Series DK-01 lighter: 150,000 Yiwei coins Fanny's Diary: 200,000 Yiwei coins Baolan watch: 100,000 Yiwei coins Platinum Honor Medal: 120,000 Yiwei coins Exquisite Magnetic Card: 100,000 Yiwei coins Emerald Blue Ring: 100,000 Yiwei coins Old Moon Chain (red): 2,000,000 Yiwei coins Seeing the price of the red item, Long Ming pondered, then kept the Deceased Series DK-01 lighter and the Old Moon Chain, recycling the rest. The wristband immediately popped up a prompt. “Prompt: You have obtained 620,000 Yiwei coins.” Long Ming glanced at the lighter, tossed it into his backpack—this thing could be carried on his person and would be useful in future instances. As for the Old Moon Chain, he directly listed it on the mall, priced at 2,500,000. Long Ming wanted to see whether any tycoon would buy it. After finishing these, he then looked at the unopened gene box, immediately raised his wristband to search the mall, seeing if anyone was selling. The result showed the mall had no unopened gene boxes for sale, but there were other specific gene potions: sitw-01 Lizard Gene Potion (inferior), selling price 2,000,000 Yiwei coins. slwc-01 Beastification Gene Potion (inferior), selling price 5,000,000 Yiwei coins. Long Ming glanced, his heart jumping—he really had not expected gene potions to be so valuable? Even the most expensive beastification gene potion had sold for 5,000,000 Yiwei coins. Unfortunately, there were no unopened gene boxes listed here, so there was no specific reference price. But that was not a bad thing, after all unopened blind boxes were often the most expensive. Long Ming pondered for a few seconds, preparing to test the waters, so he gritted his teeth and listed the unopened gene box, pricing it at 15,000,000 Yiwei coins. The result was that just a few minutes after he listed it, his wristband popped up a prompt. “Prompt: Received player Lao Gui's temporary chat request. Agree?” (End of chapter)
