《Stuck in a zombie world with an OP shop》Chapter 21
Advertisement
Thought Ryan would normally continue killing zombies for a few more hours, he has to stop because the battery from his flashlight started to go dead. At the top of the ladder, Ryan can buy a replacement 18650 battery, and does so. However, instead of going back to killing zombies, he decides to fortify his position.
The concrete blocks have worked well against normal zombies, but Ryan didn't how know well they'd fair against the brutes. So, he figured it would be a good time to upgrade his defenses.
Around the van and car, Ryan places a wall of concrete blocks. With the help of strategic buying, he doesn't have to move the blocks very much, and easily makes a wall sixty blocks long and four blocks high. This costs 3600 credits, but the extra protection is worth it, for Ryan.
Since he's limited on his credits, Ryan buys ten more blocks for 150 credits and blocks off the remaining base of the van. Ryan hopes this will sway zombies away from his little area, and, in the worst-case scenario, protect him from zombies that try to get under the van.
At the same time that he places concrete blocks, Ryan kills the zombies in his surroundings. Only at one time did a brute attack, but Ryan easily killed it with his pistol. It took almost half a magazine, since the brute was moving and harder to aim at, but it fell before getting ten feet close to Ryan.
When light no longer shined on the road, Ryan finished his building and retreated to under the van. This night, since making sound while the zombies were much more dangerous would be unwise, Ryan adds many foods to the shop. He intends to make a list of everything he can think of, with a slight markup, and bring it to The Sanctuary the next day.

After a dozen entries, a box of text appeared in front of the shop text
>Would you like to make a category "Food & Drink"?
"Yes, accept," Ryan says, and the category is made inside the Items section of the shop. All food and drinks already in the shop are added to the category, and additional food get added too.
At the end of the night, Ryan has a much longer shop and decides to sleep.

The tens of thousands of universes have merged.

In the wake of the large-scale invasion of the Wilderness, the Avalon of Five Elements has become the practitioners’ last stand. After a thousand years, a lowly youth, who hailed from the Old Territory, toiled as a laborer for three years in the depths of the Wilderness. He then became an exception and obtained the opportunity to enter the Avalon Of Five Elements for further studies. Bearing beast-like fighting capabilities and driven by the desire to take control of his life, the youth strived for greater strength and power. Little did he know that he would set off a majestic upheaval.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.
