Jerrycan of Gasoline (5 liters) 

Note from merchant: Here is the new update for the survivors in Sector Z.

All of you will be given a Survival Bundle which will consist of food, water, and weapons. It will be given to all of you on a loan since you guys do not have the SP. The cost will be the lowest you have ever seen so do not worry.

Everyone who clicks on the buy option will be able to get one bundle only so trying to get more will be futile. The bundle will cost 1SP only and you will get the following items.

- 1 Pistol (.22)

- 4 Magazines 

- 1 Chest Rig 

- 4 Napalm Molotovs 

- 1 Lighter

- 5 Energy Bars

- 2 Water Bottles

You will receive this bundle approximately 20 minutes before sunset and here is the strategy that you need to follow to ensure high survivability.

1) Make groups of 20 and take turns in firing at the monsters. Some of them have high defense and some have voice attacks, so covering your ears with something is advisable. Once you empty your magazine, step back and let the person behind you take over until you get another turn.

2) Before the sun sets, all of you have to eat the energy bars and drink some water before you get into the fight. Do keep in mind that you have to start the fight only after the sun sets.

3) The teams of 20 must alternate between molotovs and pistols. The first batch will fire their pistols and empty their magazines, second batch will light their molotovs and toss them onto the monsters. Then pistol and repeat the cycle. 

4) This is to ensure maximum damage and survivability as the people at the back will have enough time to open the shop and buy things if the battle drags on.

5) Lastly, 10 kills will give you 3SP and this is recorded for goblins alone. As for other monsters, there is no tested data. By the end of tomorrow night, if you do not pay the 1SP to the system, it will be taken directly from your balance and if you do not have enough balance, you will die.

We did as much as we could but some rules must be followed. I wish everyone the best of luck.

'Done. I have a few more hours and a few more SP to hit 100 on my skill chest so I guess I'll get back to grinding.'

He stood up from his bed and listed the Napalm Molotovs in the shop trade terminal at an exchange rate of 10 units for 1 SP while he walked downstairs and started his bike.

He drove for a few minutes until he spotted the others sitting down on the concrete road while making food. He parked his bike alongside theirs and got off before joining them. He picked up one of the empty bowls and filled it with some noodles and meat like the previous day. 

Time passed by and their lunchtime was over, Larcen glanced at everyone for a second before speaking, "Let's do the thing I told you guys yesterday. If you see any of the other monsters, swiftly leave the place but it should be fine if you see the red goblins."

Bull happily patted his now, comparatively small but tight belly before standing up and sitting on the bike.

"All of us have maxed out our weekly stats so all we need to do right now is save up a lot and invest more on stats next week or buy the skill chest.", he said as he shifted from neutral to first while Chrona shook his head in disagreement. 

"No. I am making a guide about it tonight so wait for it. I will explain why it is a waste to invest in the skill chest."

Ben patted him on his back before getting onto his bike and grinned widely, "I'll be waiting but now it's time to grind some SP, hahaha."

Larcen simply sat on his bike and waited for all of them to get going but when he saw Jack using the rifle, he couldn't help but ask.

"Hey Jack, why are you still using a rifle when you can use a pistol that is way easier to use?"

"Emotional Attachment. I have been using her since I was six years old and it has always served me well."

Larcen nodded and let the man leave. As for what he used, it did not matter as he wouldn't need a weapon to lure the goblins. Larcen only had to wait for five minutes for the first batch as Ben's bike roared as he sped up, leaving the goblins in the dust while Larcen took out both his pistols and began firing like he usually did. 

After using up a total of four magazines, he couldn't help but feel good as he could tell that his accuracy had increased.

Larcen walked over to Ben and gave him the SP he brought him before letting him go to get him more. Once the street was empty, he took out some Molotovs and a lighter before placing twenty of them at the side of the road. 

Time passed by slowly and Larcen happily waited while he checked the trade terminal for some kind of news or thing that he could buy, only to be met with disappointment for three days in a row. 

There were only useless things such as bloodied brick and mutated monster heart which were of absolutely no use. He closed the screen when he heard the sound of another bike and turned his head to look.

Betty was accelerating to her top speed while leaving the goblins far behind but she had bought fewer goblins compared to Ben. Larcen burned the fire stick with his lighter before throwing the bottle at the goblins and repeating the step again.

The first bottle fell on the road and burned most of the goblins at the front as it landed only a few inches in front of them but the second bottle had hit the head of one of the goblins in the center of the group.

'Yeah.... these are deadly.', he mused, watching the goblins run about in a state of disarray.
