Extreme Cold Apocalypse: My Shelter is Full of Beautiful Women

"this"

Upon hearing Ye Yan's words, the three hesitated.

"We don't have any more flint."

They seem to be conflicted.

Ye Yan's guess was correct.

These people did indeed still have flint, otherwise they wouldn't have hesitated.

They might have kept it in the hopes of researching something.

"Boss, how about we buy one?" Ali swallowed hard, looking at the torch radiating heat.

I wonder if this torch can boil water.

They haven't had hot food in a long time.

"But this flint..." Xu Qiang hesitated.

"Buy one get one free now, but the price won't be the same later."

"What?"

"One flint for two torches." Ye Yan held up two fingers. "Buy one get one free, which is like half price. Today is our first day of cooperation, so consider it a discount."

Xu Qiang quickly made a decision in his mind.

One flint can be exchanged for two torches.

Two torches, each burning for an hour.

In other words, a flint can provide warmth for two hours.

These two hours might allow them to travel even further in this extreme cold.

"make a deal."

Without hesitation, Xu Qiang took out the last two flints from his pocket and handed them over.

"Okay, this is for you too, consider it a gift to a friend."

Ye Yan took out four torches from his pocket, making a total of five including the one he had tried before, and handed them over.

One flint can make ten torches.

Two torches can be sold for one flint.

A whopping five times the profit!

"grateful."

Xu Qiang took the torch and nodded solemnly.

He should thank himself.

"You're welcome."

Ye Yan's smile was as warm as a spring breeze.

"If it works well, I can come back to buy more."

"Of course, I'll take flint too. I'll take as many as you can."

Xu Qiang nodded and carefully distributed the torches to his men.

"Boss,"

Xu San suddenly spoke.

"How about we invite Brother Ye to go hunting with us?"

Xu Qiang also had this idea.

He looked at Ye Yan, carefully choosing his words.

"No."

Ye Yan shook his head.

"My abilities are not suited for hunting."

Ye Yan resolutely refused.

He's not stupid; as soon as he hears it's a monster, he knows it must be very strong.

Although Ye Yan didn't think he would lose, there was absolutely no need for it.

Ye Yan walked back with light steps.

He glanced down at the bag in his hand—seven flints, plus the two left over from yesterday, making a total of nine.

The cost of four torches is nothing more than a little wood and the "lighting" of the sacred fire once.

As for that box of fever reducer... Le Wuyou has several boxes in his medicine cabinet, so the cost of one box is almost negligible.

Even with a buy-one-get-one-free offer, there's still a five-fold profit.

They made a killing.

Ye Yan smiled.

But that wasn't what made him happiest.

What made him happiest was

He found a stable source of flint.

Xu Qiang and his companions can kill monsters to obtain flints, while he can use torches to exchange for flints, medicines, and food.

Then the flint can be transformed into even more torches, traps, arrow towers...

This is a perfect cycle.

Just as Ye Yan was contemplating his future plans,

"Hey, hand over everything you have on you!"

On the main road of the residential area ahead, seven or eight figures emerged from behind a snow wall made of accumulated snow.

They surrounded him, armed with steel pipes, shovels, and kitchen knives.

The leader was a bald man wearing a camouflage cotton-padded jacket, with a string of gold chains around his neck that looked like they had been smuggled from somewhere, which dazzled the eyes in the pale white snow light.

He had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, squinting as he looked Ye Yan up and down, a standard villainous smile playing on his lips.

"Am I being robbed?"

Ye Yan glanced at everyone, his gaze finally settling on the bald man, his tone as calm as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.

"Hehe, you're pretty calm."

The bald man took the cigarette out of his mouth and twirled it twice between his fingers.

"In this awful weather, someone who's out and about in a trench coat must have something good on them."

Although he didn't know what the other party was trading with Xu Qiang.

But the quality won't be bad.

Besides, why not cause trouble for that damned, inflexible Xu Qiang?

He gestured towards his henchman beside him, his gaze sweeping over Ye Yan's smooth, delicate skin, before licking his lips:

"Go, kill him, strip him naked!"

"Oh"

Ye Yan shuddered, feeling disgusted by the bald man's gaze, and his expression darkened.

"Are you going to kill me?"

"Hahaha!"

However, Ye Yan's question, which he already knew the answer to, only drew laughter from the bald man and his gang.

"Has this kid gone mad from the cold?"

"Isn't that a rhetorical question?"

The two henchmen exchanged a glance, gripped their steel pipes, and charged at Ye Yan.

"In that case, you should also be prepared to be killed."

As Ye Yan raised his hand, a ball of flame appeared.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked to see this.

"This kid is actually a Sequence Awakener?"

"Get them all here!" the bald man commanded, then turned and ran.

Just kidding, that's a Sequence Awakener at the same level as him.

Fortunately, he brought a few underlings with him, so they should be able to hold on.

boom!

Before he could run far, an explosion rang out, and a burning corpse fell in front of him.

"No, don't."

"Aaaaaah!"

"Hey boss, if that guy's sequence isn't good at combat, why are we even making a deal with him?"

Ali clenched his fist and said confidently:

"Why not just snatch it?"

"Why"

Xu Qiang sighed, feeling quite helpless towards Ali, who was all brawn and no brains.

"First, the items he creates are useful to us, and the trade is a win-win situation for us."

"Second," Xu Qiang's expression suddenly turned serious.

"I might not be able to beat him."

"ha?"

Ali didn't believe it. "Boss, you're being modest. Your sequence ability is even better than other bosses."

"Ali, our boss is a man of great loyalty and honor; he would never do something so shameless."

Xu San rolled his eyes at Ali.

He also didn't believe his boss would lose.

Because, after witnessing that monstrous power, the boss was undoubtedly number one in his mind!

"That's true, but..."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud bang from not far behind him.

"This is"

The three exchanged a glance, realizing the situation was bad.

"It's them!"

"Walk!"

Xu Qiang's face was grim, and he made a decisive decision.

"We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him!"

Xu San and his companion understood this as well. If Ye Yan died, they would lose the useful tool of torches.

But when they got back and saw what was happening, they were both stunned.

On the snow lay several burning corpses, but the flames did not melt the ice and snow.

"Help! Help!"

A faint cry for help came from the man, who was being held by the neck and hanging in mid-air, half-dead.

The one carrying the man was none other than Ye Yan, whom they had been worried about until just now.

"Ah, why are you back?" Ye Yan smiled innocently.

It was as if the scene before them had nothing to do with this harmless boy.
