"Before we discuss the deal, I want to confirm that any of you were injured in the chaos just now?" Lin Mo asked.

Li Jianmin's eyes showed a hint of sadness, he was silent for a moment and said, "We have already taken care of it."

Lin Mo didn't ask how the other party handled it.

After what happened just now, Li Jianmin knew what the right approach was as long as he was not stupid.

He turned to the topic: "What supplies do you need?"

"Food and water." Li Jianmin said.

"That's...ok!" Lin Mo pretended to hesitate and agreed.

Although these things are considered daily necessities in the system, he can buy a lot of them with one point.

But now is the end of the world, and if he agrees too readily, it will make the other party suspicious.

"Then let's talk about the price!" Li Jianmin said: "How much can you give in exchange?"

"Tell me first, what weapons can you give us?" Lin Mo asked.

"Rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and sniper rifles, I have them all here. What do you want?" Li Jianmin said.

"What about the bullets?" Lin Mo asked.

The number of guns equipped by the third detachment is enough to equip the entire detachment.

Now that most people have turned into zombies, there must be an overflow of guns.

But without bullets, no matter how many guns there are, they are just decorations.

Li Jianmin's expression froze slightly.

This question hit his Achilles heel.

He hesitated for a moment: "Let me put it bluntly, 700 rounds of pistol bullets, more than 2,300 rounds of rifle bullets, more than 1,200 rounds of submachine gun bullets, 220 rounds of sniper rifle bullets, and 8 grenades. This is all the ammunition we can take out."

Lin Mo frowned.

This amount was much less than he expected.

An armed police detachment of Blue Star has a full strength of about 400 people. The total number of regularly equipped various types of ammunition should be about 48,000 rounds.

But what Li Jianmin is talking about now adds up to less than one-tenth of the total.

Either they had consumed too much ammunition in previous battles.

Either Li Jianmin lied.

But there is no point in worrying about this now.

He looked at Li Jianmin: "How many of these bullets are you going to give in exchange?"

"At most one tenth." Li Jianmin said.

Lin Mo shook his head: "Too few!"

"No more!" Li Jianmin said: "As you can see, I still have so many people here. If there are too few bullets, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves."

"How about one-fifth?" Lin Mo said, "You also said that there are so many people here, and one-tenth can't be exchanged for much supplies."

Li Jianmin pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Okay, one-fifth is one-fifth, but I want 500 500ml bottles of water and 500 kilograms of various types of food suitable for long-term storage."

"You are talking like a lion!" Tang Ya, who had been silent until now, stood up.

Two-fifths of the bullets are less than a thousand rounds.

However, the supplies Li Jianmin wanted totaled one thousand kilograms, and the food was also required to be suitable for storage.

This is outrageous!

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Li Jianmin asked calmly.

Obviously, he also knew that he was asking for a lot of money, so he was waiting for Lin Mo to pay back the money.

"350 bottles of water, 350 kilograms of various kinds of food that can be opened and eaten." Lin Mo considered the price.

"Lin Mo..." Tang Ya subconsciously wanted to stop him.

This amount of food and water, if saved a little, would be enough for the two of them for at least half a year.

At this price, they still suffered a big loss.

"It's okay, I know it!" Lin Mo shook his head at Tang Ya.

He also knew that the price was a disadvantage.

But if he wasn't worried about arousing suspicion, he actually wanted to give more.

First of all, these things are really worthless to him.

Just what he just said doesn't even cost a single point.

Secondly, people like Li Jianmin were willing to contribute in peacetime. Now that it is the end of the world, he happens to be capable, so he should naturally take some care of him.

He looked at Li Jianmin: "Is this price okay?"

"Okay!" Li Jianmin readily agreed.

The price was much higher than he expected.

"But I have a condition!" Lin Mo said: "I want that many bullets, but you must give me more of all types of firearms."

"Also, you should have body armor, shields, anti-riot sticks and other things. I want some too. In addition, I also want 2 grenades."

Li Jianmin thought about it: "I can give you firearms, body armor and other things, but for 2 grenades, I need to add 50 bottles of water."

"Deal!" Lin Mo agreed directly.

Tang Ya on the side was so angry that her teeth itched when she saw Lin Mo enjoying himself so much.

It's not that she is stingy.

She is also a soldier and has a natural affinity for people like Li Jianmin.

If conditions permit, she naturally hopes that the other party can live a better life.

But now is the end of the world, the end of the world! !

In her opinion, Lin Mo's behavior was like being taken advantage of.

"Then how do we trade?" Li Jianmin asked.

Lin Mo fell into deep thought.

In fact, he has system space, so it is not difficult to complete this transaction.

But the difficulty lies in how to do it in a way that is reasonable and does not arouse suspicion.

After all, the existence of the system must not be exposed at present.

"Let's do this!" He came back to his senses: "You prepare what I want. At this time tomorrow, I will come to you with supplies to trade."

"Okay!" Li Jianmin was originally worried that Lin Mo would let them trade elsewhere, which would inevitably lead to them taking a lot of risks.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo took the initiative to ask for a deal here, which was very beneficial to them.

"Then let's go!" Lin Mo looked at Tang Ya.

Tang Ya shook her head and pointed outside with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave now."

Lin Mo immediately walked to the sealed door, looked out along the gap, and then frowned instantly.

The zombies that had been attracted by the gunfire had already arrived and were now wandering in the yard.

There are also a lot of zombies wandering on the streets outside the yard, and the number is estimated to be at least a hundred.

If they go out now, they may be surrounded in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Jianmin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is why we don't dare to go out to look for supplies even though we have ammunition."

The sound of gunfire will attract endless zombies, and no matter how much ammunition they have, they won't be enough.

"Should this place have a back door?" Lin Mo asked.

"Yes, but I guess the situation should be similar to here!" Li Jianmin said: "How about you wait here, these monsters will wander around for a while and may leave if they can't find their target."

Lin Mo shook his head: "Unless there is a new target or they are attracted by other movements, they will not leave. You can show me the back door first."

Li Jianmin nodded and led Lin Mo to the back door.

The back door is a small door and is sealed.

But through the gap, you can also see what's going on outside.

Sure enough, as Li Jianmin said, there are many zombies wandering outside.

However, after observing for a moment, Lin Mo's eyes lit up slightly.

He saw a car in good condition in the yard.
