Chapter 22: Exchange List

Walking deep into the warehouse, Lin Yi saw an elderly man with graying hair sitting at a table, holding a newspaper dated two days ago, with an open radio sitting on the table.

The old man appeared quite leisurely, forming a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere surrounding him.

Seeing someone approach, the old man finally put down the newspaper and turned his gaze toward Lin Yi.

"Wait a moment."

The old man raised his hand, pulled a list from the table, and began to carefully compare it with Lin Yi's appearance.

A minute later, the old man looked up, an expression of disbelief crossing his face.

He seemed to doubt his own eyes, comparing the list to Lin Yi's appearance several more times before finally confirming it was correct.

"You killed over two hundred infected?" The old man's eyes widened, his tone filled with incredulity.

Lin Yi nodded, a hint of indifference on his face. "Why? Does it not look like it?"

The old man shook his head and took a deep breath. "It's not that it doesn't look like it; it's just too staggering. Generally speaking, even a battle-hardened warrior would find it difficult to achieve such a feat. How... how did you do it?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly, offering no further explanation. "Just a stroke of luck, combined with a bit of fortune."

The old man did not press further; he knew well that in this apocalypse, everyone had their own secrets and abilities.

"So, what supplies do you wish to exchange for?" The old man suppressed his surprise, returning to his previous calm and professional demeanor.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a long list of items appeared before Lin Yi's eyes.

The items were dazzling and diverse, ranging from food to weapons, and from medical supplies to daily necessities.

However, when Lin Yi's gaze swept to the very first item on the list, his pupils involuntarily constricted.

There, an item emitted a brilliant blue light—a glow so dazzling it seemed capable of piercing through all darkness.

Exchange Requirement: 8,000 Faction Contribution Points

Description: This cane sword originates from the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and was once his effective assistant when eliminating the Hound of the Baskervilles. Unfortunately, it was lost in a mysterious marshland before being recovered by a lucky explorer.

Below the exchange list in the Faction Shop, Lin Yi saw a vast array of potions, firearms, and ammunition, all varied and plentiful.

However, compared to the three rare supplies seen previously, these items were clearly inferior.

Lin Yi understood that the supplies in the Faction Shop were valued according to their rarity and utility.

The reason those three items occupied the top of the list was precisely because they possessed incomparable value and utility.

Since he had enough contribution points, Lin Yi chose the 【Dead Body Virus Gene Enhancer】 and 【Sherlock Holmes' Cane Sword】 without hesitation.

With a crisp system notification, his contribution points instantly plummeted from five digits to three, but there was not a trace of hesitation or regret on his face.

After the successful exchange, a pale blue potion appeared in Lin Yi's hand.

The potion was contained in an exquisite glass test tube, its outer walls inlaid with fine metal lines. This not only made it look noble and mysterious but, more importantly, the metal lines reinforced the tube to prevent the potion from being damaged by vibration or accidents.

Lin Yi gripped the test tube lightly, feeling the slight movement of the liquid inside.

Having obtained the potion, Lin Yi could not wait to leave the Faction Shop and hurried back to his guest room.

He knew well the preciousness and importance of this potion, and thus did not want to waste time anywhere else.

After locking the door, Lin Yi carefully removed the needle from the front of the potion.

Following the instructions, he slowly injected the potion into his arm.

During the injection, he felt a slight stinging sensation, but it quickly vanished.

Out of caution, Lin Yi placed the Black Abyss Sword by the bedside to ensure he could react quickly if someone were to burst through the door.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Yi began to wait for the potion to take effect.

Soon, he felt a sensation of heat rising in his body, as if a current of warmth were surging through him.

He could clearly feel his blood flow accelerating, and his heart was thumping continuously.

At the same time, his breathing became clearer, as if he could hear the rhythm of every breath.

Even more surprisingly, Lin Yi felt his mental clarity increase, his thinking becoming more agile and rapid.

Ten minutes later, the heat in Lin Yi's body gradually subsided.

By this time, Lin Yi found that he was drenched in sweat. His newly changed blue casual clothes were soaked, clinging to his body and revealing the neat, firm lines of his muscles underneath.
