Chapter 523: Netting Them All, Leaving None Behind

You're going too far!

His breath turned cold and he shuddered.

Li Enzhi stared at those words, as if he could see someone incessantly rubbing their fingers, looking down at him arrogantly, then giving a contemptuous smile.

Pauper.

You don't even have money to buy your mother.

"President... should we still add?"

According to the information sent back from the front, their bid in the trading channel is already the highest.

Of course, on the surface it's the Capital Military Region.

Their bids are all communicated via private chat.

It's not that other factions can't offer more; mainly, the mysterious person's demands are too strict.

If there were no special requirements, others could also scrape together a large amount of equipment and props.

But items that purely boost basic attributes, as well as those related to ancient fantasy props, are really scarce.

Moreover, the Capital Military Region deliberately suppressed the price, causing it to stagnate.

"Add!"

"Send that blue prop over!"

"Tell them, there's nothing more left!"

Gritting his teeth, his heart felt like it was dripping blood.

The other side seemed to have him figured out, not worrying that he'd give up this equipment.

Watching the opponent list out a long list again, he felt utterly stifled.

Although the Greater Korean War Zone still has tens of millions of survivors, even if they're poor, it shouldn't be this bad.

But he couldn't force everyone to hand over supplies; only what belonged to certain military factions could be used.

"President!"

"After the transaction succeeds, be sure to install tracking devices on the weapons and equipment!"

"Didn't we just kill a mutant earlier? Spread its secreted slime as well."

"That slime is covert; my subordinates who are Awakened Ones can lock onto his position!"

A high-ranking Awakened One from the military, his face grim, couldn't help but remind.

His expression was icy, his eyes full of killing intent.

Greedy Hua Guo scum!

Insatiable greed—I will surely find you!

Seeing his sole blue prop being used as a stake, he could only take a deep breath and forcibly suppress his anger.

For the nation! For renewed strength!

Li Enzhi sighed; he too wanted to grab the opponent.

He would listen to the officer's words, but hope was slim.

It's not like before the apocalypse, when they still had the spare capacity to send people to infiltrate the Huaxia War Zone.

However...

Perhaps when the masses rush into the Huaxia War Zone, we could instead send personnel to hunt down that damned scum!

What you take from us today will surely be vomited back a hundredfold later!

Long'an Base.

"Lin An, they sent over a blue prop; it's quite interesting."

"Should we sell it to them? I feel they really can't offer more."

Wen Ya looked at the blue prop info coming through the private chat, then simply moved to Lin An's side to show it:

"They said, if we add more money, they won't buy."

"The Capital side is also very patient; they've secretly sent officers half-threatening us to act as the mysterious person."

"They said they could shelter my equipment theft if I join them."

"They told me not to be too greedy; preserving my life is most important."

"They also mentioned Lin An..."

Wen Ya's expression turned odd; she glanced at Lin An, who was checking the prop info, then paused:

"They said you're a murderous demon, acting without any scruples."

"Don't think stealing Lin An's gear lets you escape; they also said you have a distance‑ignoring, indiscriminate death prop."

"If you keep fleeing, Lin An might just trigger this prop, and then all living beings will suffer."

"Whether for your own sake or for the safety of the innocent survivors in the Huaxia War Zone, we hope the mysterious person we're portraying will join them..."

As she spoke, Wen Ya couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin An gave her a helpless glance, then continued examining the props sent from the Greater Korean War Zone.

On the Capital's side, aren't they thinking of him as too evil?

To hunt down the thief who stole his equipment, they'd unleash a 'heavenly disaster'‑level prop?

He's not that crazy...

"Ralph Milei's scalpel (blue, special prop)"

"Prop attribute: damage fixed at 1."

"Prop trait: after use, it can temporarily change the user's appearance; after consuming vitality, it can alter the body's form."

"Prop description: it can store monster templates; every unit you kill will be stored in the cosmetic template."

Prop evaluation: You can try to take on the appearance of a monster, making the mutants favorably inclined toward you...

More interesting prop, similar to Fan Bing's impersonation ability.

However, compared to Awakened Ones' skills, it lacks a breath simulation.

But it also has its unique points; can it disguise as a monster?

Compared to Fan Bing, who can only impersonate humans, this prop undoubtedly has a broader range of uses.

Lin An nodded slightly, indicating his agreement to the trade.

He knows how impoverished the Korean War Zone is; being able to produce this prop is already no easy feat.

A prop similar to a disguise item; if used well, its effect won't be bad.

Finally, the price of this trade was set as: 14 spirit energy fruits, two blue equipment items, one blue special prop, plus a large quantity of weapon equipment and a thousand tons of food.

And Lin An's cost was a toy pistol.

After the trade was settled, Zhang Tie grinned excitedly, and even Jing Tian relaxed into a smile.

"We've struck rich!!"

"Captain Lin, no wonder people like to run scams—this huge profit... is simply exhilarating..."

Gao Tian couldn't help but sigh twice.

Really, diligently killing monsters yet ending up dirt poor.

Cheating and selling fake goods to get rich.

Wen Ya, who was responsible for continuing contact with the other party, shook her head slightly.

Transporting this much material, the other side likely had to sacrifice many Awakened Ones to get it through.

But anyway, the dead aren't our own people.

On the sofa, Lin An smiled indifferently.

Impersonating a monster...

He actually came up with quite a few "interesting" ideas.

However, this prop reminded him of something.

Milei's scalpel... It turns out the Korean War Zone's military already obtained this equipment so early?

Looking at it, that famous Past Life Bagua mirror, they probably also got their hands on it.

Lin An clearly remembers that in the Doomsday Game, some equipment acquisition conditions are very special; among them, the Korean War Zone's bronze Bagua is hidden beside a certain special mutant.

And the condition for obtaining it is to impersonate the deceased child of that special mutant, thereby taking the mirror.

The experience of obtaining that Bagua mirror back then could be called quite legendary.

During the later stage when the Korean War Zone invaded the borders of the Huaxia War Zone, it also became widely known among the Huaxia survivors.

Even many people, after hearing this method of obtaining special equipment, smeared zombie bodily fluids on themselves and hung rotting flesh, trying to bluff their way through.

But the outcome goes without saying; these people all became snack treats with built-in seasoning.

Not swindling that Bagua mirror would really be letting oneself down.

After thinking it over, Lin An simply quickly revised the instructions on the forged spirit energy pistol, then gave a light laugh and sent it over.

As for the Korean War Zone, he really has no fondness for it.

Fishing like this, he might as well catch the fry as well...
