Chapter 7: Want Food? Trade Something Valuable!
"But where did all the zombies he killed go? Why can't we see any bodies?" The tall girl looked puzzled as she watched Alex's figure, her smooth forehead slightly furrowed.
As the two discussed, Alex had already disappeared from their line of sight. They were at the side window of the dormitory, so they couldn't see the front door of the dorm.
The girls sat back on their beds, somewhat anxious, praying that the brave young man would indeed come up to rescue them.
"He must be our knight in shining armor! No! He's like the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, coming to save us on a cloud!" The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
"He's so powerful; he'll definitely make it up here!"
While the girls were praying, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door of the dormitory.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Who's there?" The petite girl asked nervously.
"It's me. You two called me here. Open the door. I've killed all the zombies outside," Alex said coldly from outside.
When the zombie virus broke out, it was daytime and class time, so there weren't many people in the dormitory. Alex had broken into the girls' dormitory through the iron door, finding only five or six female zombies in the corridor, and they were the weakest kind.
Touching her increasingly hungry stomach, Li Wan Ning said somewhat sheepishly, "...Can we have some more food? We haven't eaten in a long time..."
"You're so stingy! You only gave us this little bit of food! How is a sausage supposed to fill us up?" Shen Ting Ting pouted, her lips appearing even more moist after drinking water.
"Want more food and water? Sure! But what I gave you just now was charity, I'm not a philanthropist. I can help you unconditionally once, but there won't be a second time. If you want more, you'll need to trade something valuable to me," Alex said, his gaze sweeping over Li Wan Ning's plump lips and tall figure, speaking expressionlessly.
Li Wan Ning trembled, her face turning pale.
She clearly understood what Alex meant. Given their current situation, what could they possibly have that would be valuable to Alex? Other than themselves, they had nothing of value to offer.
But...
To survive, did she really have to go that far?
"I can give you money!" Shen Ting Ting pulled out a few banknotes from her pocket and offered them to Alex. "This much money could have bought hundreds of sausages before! Now I just want you to sell me ten!"
Shen Ting Ting, who used to be a rich girl, would never have given a second glance to someone like Alex in the past.
Alex smiled faintly and shook his head slightly, "It's the apocalypse now, this paper currency has completely lost its value. You might as well use it to bargain with the zombies. I don't need it."
"Then... what do you want?" Shen Ting Ting asked with her big, watery eyes, puzzled.
Alex looked at Li Wan Ning with a slight teasing smile and said, "She should know what to do."
