My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 286 - 283 Shopping Frenzy

General Lu, the number one tycoon in Lindong, had bought several adjacent shops, making Tang Yu feel… almost like a friend!

Despite the occupancy rate of the shops being only about ten or twenty percent and still sparse, the business district still showed signs of prosperity.

The square-faced big man and a few team members were also walking on the streets at this time, surprised by the bustling streets.

“There are too many Awakeners here!”

When they had first arrived a few days ago, the entire business district was hardly populated, only in the adventurer guild could they see more Awakeners. Now, it seemed that if one threw a stone, it would hit ten people, and six of them would be Awakeners.

The number of Awakeners was more than that of ordinary people!

And not a few had an aura that matched his!

The square-faced big man couldn’t comprehend such a change.

Zhou Jianhong was mixing with the square-faced big man, and in a short time, the two men had established a sincere friendship. Hearing this, he was not surprised at all, “Normally, the number of ordinary survivors in a Sanctuary would definitely be much higher than that of Awakeners, but Green Shadow is different.”

“Green Shadow was established very recently, barely over a month ago, and it was built on a pile of ruins, from nothing to something. Even though Green Shadow has developed rapidly, the entire Sanctuary is still relatively small.”

Such secrecy, not many people in the entire Sanctuary know about it, and the square-faced big man found it even harder to believe that Green Shadow Sanctuary was built from ruins.

Zhou Jianhong laughed a few times, “As far as I know, the number of survivors in Green Shadow Sanctuary is just in the thousands, but today, the number of Awakeners alone is probably more than just thousands.”

“These Awakeners, many of whom are actually from Lindong, the news of Green Shadow’s business district opening had already reached Lindong, and of course, what attracted these Awakeners the most was the large amount of rune Equipment available for sale today.”

“Only Awakeners can traverse the wilderness and make it here, and those who reach Green Shadow are usually not weak.”

The square-faced man slightly sensed the essence around him, realizing that just as Zhou Jianhong had said, the least formidable among the Awakeners coming and going possessed at least Second-tier Awakening strength.

Zhou Jianhong explained, “Green Shadow and Lindong are separated by tens of kilometers, originally it was estimated that only those in the third layer of Awakening who band together could arrive unscathed. But now, with more and more Awakeners traveling between the two places, the Demonized Beasts on this ‘path’ have been slaughtered in large numbers and have become increasingly rare. In fact, even those with just first-layer strength could potentially make it from Lindong to Green Shadow; however, many first-layer Awakeners lack the mettle and courage. Faced with even the weakest Demonized Beasts, they are chased all over the place. Those people, even if you gave them a rune weapon, wouldn’t be of much use.”

Regarding such weaklings, Zhou Jianhong held them in low regard, he paused briefly, “However, in my opinion, it’s best to settle in Green Shadow. Many people just can’t bear to leave their ventures in Lindong, not to mention the waste of time traveling between the two places lowers the efficiency of completing tasks.”

“…I used to be a mercenary in Lindong myself, but since I’ve come to Green Shadow, I haven’t planned on going back. After all, whether completing tasks or hunting Demonized Beasts, isn’t it all the same? Not to mention that Green Shadow is the only place you can get rune Equipment.”

“Like my adventure group, we already have enough points, and once we are ready, we will officially challenge the star-raising task. Some groups with strength similar to ours don’t even have enough points to move from two stars to three, and they can’t exchange for much Equipment either.”

Today at the Equipment Supermarket in Green Shadow, standard E-grade equipment was on discount promotions, but what attracted those from Lindong the most was that today, just with Source Crystals, they could purchase D1-grade weapons and Armor.

These held no appeal for Zhou Jianhong, though.

During the conversation, they had reached the Equipment Supermarket in the central commercial district. The supermarket had just opened, but it had already gathered a crowd of Awakeners denser than the purchasing frenzy of grandmothers before the apocalypse.

At that time, there were more than two hundred Fighter Puppets, five hundred basic Puppets surrounding the area, their weapons gleaming with a cold light, ready to subdue any Awakeners who caused trouble.

Most members of the Patrol Team were also highly vigilant, stationed around.

However, there were simply too many Awakeners. With so many people, it was inevitable that tempers flared, and even before the supermarket opened, several conflicts had already erupted, with fights breaking out on the streets without even reaching the Martial Arts Arena.

Some Awakeners familiar with Green Shadow were more restrained. However, many were first-timers in Green Shadow, and no matter how much they had heard of Green Shadow’s power, the immediate intimidation of a small Sanctuary cannot compare to that of an official large Sanctuary.

Despite handling several incidents, they still couldn’t suppress the restless Awakeners. Some people, growing too impatient from waiting too long, even showed tendencies to storm the supermarket.

Just a few minutes ago, when the square-faced man and others had arrived at the Equipment Supermarket, it was a chaotic scene. But now, many normally unruly Awakeners were obediently queuing in front of the supermarket.

A Patrol Team member took on the role of temporary commander, seeing someone happily walk out of the supermarket after purchasing weapons and equipment, he spoke up, “Next one, go in. Each person is limited to fifteen minutes, and if you exceed the time, don’t blame us for forcibly expelling you.”

His words were blunt, yet the Awakener called did not dare show any dissatisfaction; instead, they rushed excitedly into the supermarket.

Those waiting in line, although somewhat anxious, forcibly restrained themselves from showing any odd behavior.

From time to time, some looked around with a trace of fear.

Despite it being a sunny day, these Awakeners felt a cloud of darkness pressing down on their hearts.

A domineering aura was suffocating them, the oppression of a higher life form on lower ones caused their souls to tremble slightly.

Under the pressure of this aura, let alone causing trouble, some people didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily, afraid of displeasing the hidden master.

Green Shadow was truly too frightening!
