Chapter 343.
Word spread like wildfire through the Newport City Base: a “pop-up supermarket was opening. They heard that anything could ad
as long as you had Undead Cores, you could trade for whatever you needed.
The entire population was beyond excited!
How long had it been?
How long had it been since they’d seen anything new?
For months, they had been picking through the ruins of the city, scavenging for broken junk that wasn’t too far gone and parching it up to keep it working.
It was the same with their clothes.
They were a mess of stitches and patches.
Life had been incredibly hard.

Now that they heard there were actual goods for sale, why wouldn’t they buy as much as they could?
Over the past few months, they had killed plenty of Undead and hoarded a significant number of Cores. If they didn’t spend them now, when would they?
Families began tearing their homes apart, digging through every nook and cranny to find their stashed-Undead Cores, preparing for a massive shopping
spree.
However, because the number of people wanting to buy was overwhelming and Josie Quinn’s team was limited in both staff and to issue a declaration: Rationing!
Each person could only buy one type of item once per day!
space, she was forced
When this notice went out, the survivors’ brains became sharper than ever.
People began forming teams. One person would buy the total amount of a specific item needed by everyone in the group, and then another person would handle a different item for the team..
Josie had only stipulated that they could only buy one *type* of item; she hadn’t specified a limit on the quantity!
They exploited this loophole with surgical precision.
Did Josie know about the loophole?
Of course she did.
But the amount of supplies in her space was truly gargantuan. She wasn’t at all afraid of them buying her out.
The entire population of the Newport City Base was only two million people!
The grain she held was enough to feed ten million people for a hundred years!
Her other supplies were just as limitless.
So, she really didn’t care.
On the day the supermarket officially opened, it was a sea of people
The area was packed so tight that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The Base Commander had anticipated this, so he sent his men ahead of time to maintain order. He had given them strict orders, under no circumstances was anyone to offend Josie and her team.
First, they didn’t dare cross her-they couldn’t afford to. Second, they were terrified that if they annoyed Josie, she would stop the trade. That would be a catastrophic loss for the base.
Consequently, everyone behaved and queued up.
They were let in one by one to shop.

“Oh! Right, right, sorry!” The first man rushed toward a member of the Blue Owl Squard. I want to bby grain! Look at these Undert can I get?”
With that, he dumped out a small pouch of Undead Cores.
The colorful Cores piled up, looking strangely beautiful.
The member of the Blue Owl Squad moved quickly, sorting through the pile and calculating the total value.
“What do you want to trade for?” the teammate asked.
“Grain! Coarse grain! As much as possible!” the man stuttered nervously.
“Here’s the price list. Look it over. You can only pick one type!” The Blue Owl Squad member handed him the list for grains and cereals.

“Deal!” The teammate didn’t hesitate and did the math on the spot.
“That’s a total of 1,300 pounds of coarse grain mix. Sound right?” The teammate pushed a form toward him. “If you’re okay with that sign and provide a fingerprint here, then go over there to collect your grain.”
“Yes! Thank you!” The man couldn’t believe it. He didn’t think that small handful of Cores could get him so much food
The grain scraps weren’t pretty, but they were perfectly edible!
Once he got them home and mixed them with some vegetable leaves and tree roots, he could eat for a whole year! The man’s body trembled with excitement as he took his grain. He shouldered the heavy bags and walked out.
Fortunately, he was a Super. If he were an ordinary person, he never would have been able to carry that much food back
