《Apocalyptic World, Cheat》Chapter 11: Trading
Advertisement
The Government thing was a success, We manage to get tons of ammo with a 10% discount. And we also gaining insider info about some City and Town was form.
And the guy also said that Our camp can be passed as a Town. Which we all then puff our chest out as we are proud.
"But really, how did you manage to create this stone houses? Is that big guy over there," He then point at Jake who is talking charismatically to the awed face of the children that have been listening to his story about his 'adventure' outside of the wall, "That the houses manage to be like that?" One of the worker then ask as he point on the Stone houses.
It seems that he is interested on how it was created and who it was that helped it.
Maybe they could 'borrow' them to help with the houses and the building at the Main Hive.
Yet somehow Jake didn't notice that most of the eyes were on him the whole time once the Government worker arrived in the camp, that or he got used to the eyes from the civilians and ignore them.
Rose didn't answer him and just smile.
As she already know how to handle politic since she was just a toddler. She is from a high class family after all, sadly all of her wealth was gone when the Meteors strike to her town.
Beside, she also feel like she really don't want to give them any secret about Allie, nor her power, as she is their own most precious treasure on the Longmont camp, Or Town as they called it now.
"Say, did any of the Heroes have any information about the 'Battleground'?" One of the Government workers then asks as she was carrying a cart filled with Ammos.
Rose then shake her head in the negative,
"No, not yet. Maybe the Colorado Spring camp might have some information. Or Denver, we might don't manage to check them out yet but we have heard good things from our neighborhood camp." She then professionally replied.
The Government worker then nods.
"Alright, if you got some information about them do tell us."
Rose then nod,
After a while, they then finished putting all of the cargos that are filled with weapons and ammo. Even granate.
"It will be 2,000 Small Power Stone,"
They then said,
Rose nod and grab the box that are filled with 2,000 Small Gems. Allie already told the camp on how much that they will ask for the price as they already manage to persuade the Government to sell it for cheap,
"Thanks,"
Rose then nod,
"Hey, by any chance did anyone of you guys find some magical artifact?" At that question, Rose then was left with confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Then he points at the police that has been guarding the Main Gate, which is stood over 7 feet tall and buff.
"That, there is no way that is normal."
He then said as he grins, Yet Rose didn't reply.
"Fine, keep your secret anyway. By the way, what is the population in this camp?" He then asks as he pulls up a paper and a pen,

"We got 45 adults and 22 kids, Then we got 35 Police and 4 Heroes," As Rose was telling the population, the eyes of the Government worker then widen up. "In total, we got 106 humans,"
Then the Government worker laughs, "It is official, Longmont camp is now can be called Longmont Town! Beside, with how the population decreasing from days to day, Longmont camp have the most people there is now surrounding the Colorado city. Well, except Denver and Colorado Spring anyway."
Rose then nod her head satisfyingly, ignoring the last sentence.
Since Allie have been building houses and the underground as the hiding place, they have been able to take more refugee into their camp. There's even someone that manages to get pregnant and able to keep the baby!
Not only that,
They also add the Police force and call them the 'Guardian'.
Which cause the Police people to become happy, as they finally recognized. They even have rank, Where the highest rank will manage to drink the full potion bottle and the lower can only get a drop or two of the Hulk Potion.
"Oh, and we heard that you guys in need of uniform as well yes?" The Government worker then asks Rose,
"Yes, we were wondering if you guys also sell rolls of cloth as well. Our camp manage to have some seamstress and they can just create it for us," Rose then said,
"I will look into it, If we do then we will tell you using the radio alright?"
Rose then nod, "Thank you, It will be appreciated."
He then nods, "It was a pleasure to have business with you," He then said as he gives the box that are filled with 2,000 small power stones to his coworker.
"You as well,"
Rose then replied with her most 'charming' smile.
. . .
After they all left, the Guardian then close the gate right away.
As there is a rule for the other not allowed to scavenger outside at night, and if they do, it is on them.
Then some of the Guardian was doing a nightly round check on the houses, and then some of them going to the Main building, and some still go and do some nightly round.
One of the Guardians then walk toward the meeting room, then slam the door after he making sure no one was left out.
"Thank you for coming everyone," Allie then said as she sits on one of the chairs which are located in the middle of the large table. On her left were Lilly with her robe, and beside Lilly was Rose with her pompous dress.
And sitting on Allie's right was Jack with his Hulking body and a Greatsword was placed behind his chair.
Then the people that were joining the meeting were the Councils and the high tier Guardians with their Hulking body the same as Jake.
Though Jake is much more stronger than them as his 'awaken' power is basically Power Strength..
The other then nods as Allie says her greeting,
"First of all, I would like to thank Rose for the success on bargaining with the Government resulting in us gaining 10% off for all of the weapons and ammo that we currently has," Then everyone claps at Rose, causing her to put her head down to hide her blush,

"And the second thing is that it seems that the Government approves that our camp now called Town!" Then that causes a murmur around the table.
"I would actually thank all of you, especially the Guardians, as they have been the one that works the most for this to be happens!" Allie then continued her praises,
"Ahaha, No Problem Allie! It is indeed our job!" One of the Guardians then said as he grin, causing his coworker to nod at him as well.
Allie then nod,
"Ok, and third. I am planning to build the road to become better, and perhaps we can actually create a cart or something like that. Or even catch a horse so we can have a carriage as transportation. As gas is now too precious and too expensive for us. Not only that the other camp already mark the territories for them, letting us to not be able to cross them and get some gas," Allie then said,
The other people then scrunch their eyebrow,
"But where do we can get horses?" One of the members of the Researcher council then asks,
"Maybe we can dispatch some of the Guardians to catch some on the mountain?" One of the Farming Council then giving their opinion to the other,
Allie then nod, then she looks at the Guardian's side, "What do you guys think about that?"
The Leader of the Guardian then laugh, "No problem.. We could do that, but it will be a dangerous run. We haven't explored the mountain and wasn't sure concerning on what kind of monsters there are,"
Allie then nod,
"And that's what I was thinking as well. So what I actually estimated is that I need to be joining with all of you once we did manage to do that. As I have learned about Teleportation Magic," Allie then said,
The Researcher Council then raises their eyebrows, "What do you mean by that Allie?" They then ask.
"It was accidental, but when I was at the Battleground I was given a point to where I can change it to a magic book where I could learn the skill. And once it was learned, the book vanished to ashes," Allie then said with a calm facade as she lies through her teeth,
"Do you think that we could get there as well?" Rose then ask,
Allie nod at her,
"I could feel that you three are close to being entering the Battleground. I am unsure of what's the purpose of the battleground, but I know for sure that most of us Heroes from the earth are battling those monsters from their own world." Allie then said as she was looking at other faces.
They all then began to gulp as they were frightened.
"But other than that, anyone has anything to add to today's meeting?" Allie then asks as she was looking at everyone on their eyes.
"I do," Rose then said as she stands up,
Then she looks at Allie, after seeing Allie nod at her and then sit on her seat, Rose then clear up her throat.
"You all know that I am responsible with welcoming the Government people yes?" At that Rose then look at the other, finding they all nod, Rode then continued. "It seems that the first problem is that they are currently and actively searching for a Magical Artifact,"
At that people were gasping.
As they couldn't believe that it was a real thing, Then again their world is now filled with other races that are completely Alien for them.
"And not only that, they were asking for information about 'Battleground'. Yes, the same Battleground that Allie is participating in," Then with that, Allie raises her eyebrow.
"How did they know about the Battleground?" Allie then mumbles as she was confused. Because she hasn't really seen any American member.
But then again, that guy the has once come in with the Lightning power was once a level 40. Maybe it was him?
Allie just hopes that her stupid decision about telling her full name will not backlash on her.
"Did you tell them anything about Allie then?" Jake then ask as he raise his eyebrow at Rose,
Rose then shakes her head at Jake's question, "No, I keep Allie power a secret. They only know that Allie is our Leader for our Town,". Then Jake nod at that.
"Though they keep looking at the High Tier Guardian and Jake in a high interest, really high interest. It seems that they think that we did manage to find this 'Magical Artifact' to have them becoming strong," Rose then added.
They all then scrunch their eyebrow at that, as they don't have a really logical reason other than Allie is the Potion Mistress or an Alchemist.
As Allie was never really sure about what's her title would be.
"Well then, I just hope they never found out," One of the Guardians then said. Causing others to nod.
"We can blame it on the Meteors," One of the Scientist Council then said, causing others to nod. As the Meteors accident is still a question for all of them.
"The fumes from them causing the other to 'Mutate'?" Then the other Scientist play along as they add their own thought,
Yet Allie shakes her head, "It wouldn't work. The Colorado Spring camp already has seen them before the Meteors attack,".
The scientist then girn. "Oh no, I mean when the first Meteor Attack happening. Even though there was some of the Government workers come in and go at that time, we can just say that some of them were getting treatment at the Nursery room,"
"And how about Jake's problem?" Rose then ask,
"Just said that his Super Strength power awakens him that," The Scientist then shrug.
Allie then nod, "We could work with that, and Rose," At that Rose then look at Allie, "Just tell them that you didn't mention this because it is our Town secret, Because if the other camp heard about this problem they will be enraged as we have too many 'Mutate' or Heroes on our Town while they only got one or two."
Rose then nods at Allie.
"Ok, I will remember that."
