Trading Market
On the first day of the extreme cold, just as Vikram had expected, the trading market was flooded with Survivors desperately searching for cold-weather supplies such as thick clothing and quilts.
The second most demanded resource was food.
With prey becoming increasingly scarce, the price of meat had unexpectedly risen instead of falling compared to the early days of survival.
Meanwhile, construction materials had become the least valuable commodities. Most Survivors had already realized that ordinary iron houses were far from sufficient to withstand the coming weeks of severe cold.
Ironically, wood, which had plunged to rock-bottom prices just days ago, had begun to recover slightly in value. Even so, its worth was still limited, barely enough to exchange for a single loaf of bread.
Ignoring the clutter of low-priority trades, Vikram activated the search filter and quickly narrowed the list down to the items he actually needed.
