Chapter 520: Luck

The Secretary-General listened to the Chief of Staff's question, showing no worry at all, instead his face was full of excitement:

"There are many coincidences, unbelievable things in this world!"

"Chief of Staff Your Excellency, don't you think this is precisely the luck of our Korean nation in times of peril??"

"Perhaps the Doomsday System saw our performance and couldn't bear to let such a great nation perish in this apocalypse!"

"Doesn't Huaxia have an ancient saying?"

"When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road! In chaotic times, heroes emerge!"

Although it's inappropriate to use, this is indeed what he thinks.

When the nation faces peril, a turning point ought to appear!

Listening to the Secretary-General's impassioned tone, the usually steady Chief of Staff couldn't help but be moved.

Perhaps, that's really the case.

After all, they've had it too rough lately.

However, if Xiong Hanzi were present hearing their conversation, he'd probably grit his teeth and add a line.

Huaxia also has another ancient saying.

Misfortunes never come singly.

When a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in their teeth.

After confirming participation in this auction, the entire Korean war zone mobilized urgently.

The purpose is to quickly consolidate supplies.

He sighed.

Li Enzhi stared at the nonstop shuttle between the two war zones, the real-time messages sent back by infiltrators.

After paying a White Equipment as an entry ticket for the auction, he couldn't help but feel some worry.

"According to the information returned by intelligence personnel, the people participating in this auction are very... very many..."

Not surprising.

An Epic Tier equipment, who wouldn't want it?

They can think that this equipment would be convenient for retaking various military bases; others naturally can think of that too.

"President, this auction competition will probably be terrifying."

The Chief of Staff beside him put down all his affairs, his face looking somewhat grim.

Less than ten minutes before the auction starts, but they currently counted the props meeting auction requirements and found fewer than 15.

11 spirit-energy fruits, 2 blue equipment, 2 white props with amplified attributes.

It's laughable to say.

As the nominal supreme authority, they almost took out half of their inventory, yet only found these.

If the requirements were relaxed a bit, not special-type equipment, they might have a bit more.

But the auction requirements are too strict.

"Let's take a look first..."

"If really not possible, ask the other side if they'd be willing to take military equipment, even..."

"A large amount of food, population would also work..."

Really, there's nothing they can bring out.

Food, they also lack.

It's too hard.

The secretary beside them hesitated for a moment, showing a difficult expression.

"President, even if the other side agrees at that time to exchange materials for equipment."

"Cross-zone transaction, at least requires two transfers."

"We also don't have that many spirit-energy reserves."

The Safe Zone was just established not long ago; the energy blocks produced daily from the spirit-energy core basically have no inventory, all used to enhance the Awakened Ones' strength.

Even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

Li Enzhi shook his head after listening:

"Using Awakened Ones to transport supplies, at worst a few people die."

"The system draining spirit-energy will cause deaths, also unavoidable."

"It would be good if the other side could agree, after all this equipment we must obtain."

"Sacrificing a few people is secondary; the key is whether the other side agrees."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy with gloom.

To sacrifice for the country is glorious.

President, they will confer upon you the title of national hero.

Long'an Base.

"Lin Dui, we've struck it rich!"

He looked excited.

Gao Tian excitedly looked at over a hundred White Equipment, his face breaking into a smile.

Too many! Really too many!

Despite the high threshold of paying one White Equipment, over a hundred forces still participated in the auction.

It must be said that, given the huge base, the equipment obtained by survivors is indeed not few.

Lin An smiled faintly, also not paying attention.

Compared to being excited for half a day over obtaining a piece of equipment when he was reborn, his outlook now is incomparable to before.

He sold tickets and sold a hundred pieces of equipment?

However, that's all.

Um, probably enough to outfit the whole squad with equipment, and even form another entire elite combat squad.

With such a luxurious configuration, likely only he in the world could pull it off.

These don't count for much; the upcoming auction will be a massive haul.

He pulled a white top-grade longbow from the equipment, and Gao Tian couldn't help giving it a couple of tries.

"Right, Lin Dui. Why not let the other Eastern Ocean War Zones join this auction?"

"Perfect, we can screw them over together."

"After screwing over the Great Han War Zone, I fear they'll rage and broadcast it. Then we won't be able to pull this trick again."

"The mysterious person we're posing as has been flooded with private messages lately, almost driving them crazy."

"Other war zones are practically begging us to let them participate in this auction."

"Puzzled."

"In this auction plan, it appears there is only one auction item."

"Actually, Lin An intends to con six parties."

"He forged six Epic Tier Equipment items, just waiting for this lot to bite."

"Two are unofficial forces of the Huaxia War Zone, and four are forces from other nations' war zones."

"Brahma, Eastern Ocean, Great Han, and additionally Southeast Asia."

"You could say it's all around; every war zone neighboring the Huaxia War Zone is on the list."

"Seeing Gao Tian ask him, Lin An merely smiled and casually replied:"

"The first to bite, the Great Han War Zone, won't 'betray' us after receiving the forged gear."

"Instead, they'll help us join forces to screw over other war zones—do you believe it?"

"Their regime is too poor; they might as well be the first guinea pig."

"Gao Tian heard that, froze, and grew even more puzzled."

"Just wait and see."

"Lin An smiled, saw no need to elaborate—today he'll round them all up."

"He felt a sigh."

"Once this is over, he won't need to worry about the base's supplies any longer."

"His strength will also spike again."

"Just."

"He glanced curiously at Colonel Chu as he kept revising the equipment info, like a diligent repairman."

"Feeling his stare, Chu An lifted his head and explained directly:"

"Tailor-made."

"Each war zone, each faction has particular needs."

"I plan to forge the equipment to better fit their situation."

"Like the Great Han War Zone, they urgently need equipment to handle the mutants at their air force base."

"As for Brahma, it's more about faith; just adjust the wording so it appears religiously affiliated."

"Just like a cunning old fox."

"After Chu An finished, he cross-referenced the gathered intelligence and kept revising the equipment explanations item by item."

"Diligent and dedicated."

"Li Enzhi likely never even imagined this in his dreams."

"Chu An worked diligently, using their infiltrators' input, and perfectly crafted a weapon for them from the equipment data they had earlier sought to collect."
