Chapter 3 Knocking on the Door for Help



The food in the refrigerator was used up by the third day, and by the fourth day, An Qingge and An Qingwu were so hungry they were seeing stars.

Zhang Lin, on the other hand, was eating meal replacement products in his room. These things didn't fill him up and made his stomach feel weak, but at least they could maintain his physical strength.

He did not share the food in the room with the An sisters.

He is not the Virgin Mary.

Zhang Lin was already very kind to give them the food from the refrigerator; a heartless person wouldn't have given them anything.

After all, the food all came from Zhang Lintun.

Moreover, as a grown man, his fighting ability is clearly not something that two women can match.

On the third day, the water and electricity were cut off at home.

There were even people online explaining that the water plant could maintain water supply for a month even without human intervention, but it was cut off after only three days.

Fortunately, Zhang Lin had stocked up on water in advance, so there wouldn't be a shortage of water for the time being.

But my phone is almost out of battery, which is a big problem.

The signal was still working, and I could still access some information online using mobile data, but once the phone ran out of battery, I still couldn't go online.

The internet has been a mess for the past four days.

Some people have lost all hope and have started doing crazy things, even filming videos and posting them online. Zhang Lin has witnessed many tragedies in the past few days.

Some people still hold onto hope, waiting for rescue to arrive.

Some people have even started going out to hunt zombies.

They teamed up and targeted lone zombies. With the help of weapons, they actually killed quite a few. They posted zombie-killing guides online, encouraging everyone to kill zombies together and restore order as soon as possible.

But most people, like Zhang Lin, didn't dare to go out at all.

After all, he wasn't familiar with his neighbors, so how could he dare to go out and kill zombies with them? Besides, he had another option: wait for the system reward.

Fortunately, this is the apocalypse, and fortunately, there are two sisters next door...

Zhang Lin felt that the time had come for him to complete his mission.

next door.

"Sister, I feel like I'm going to die." An Qingwu felt a burning hunger in her stomach, which made her curl up on the bed, almost unable to move.

Her stomach was already unhealthy from long-term dieting.

For the first three days, although there was food, I was not full at all. Today is the fourth day, and I have only drunk some water.

An Qingge didn't say anything. She was even hungrier than her sister. For the first three days, she deliberately let her sister eat more.

She is too weak to speak.

These past few days, besides going online to gather information, they've been peering out the window. Many, having run out of food, have had no choice but to risk venturing outside to search for sustenance, but the result...

From what they could see, it would be good if one out of ten people could make it back alive.

An Qingge thought to herself: If only Zhang Lin could go down and find food too.

But then she thought about it again and smiled bitterly: Why should she and her sister eat food when others risk their lives to find it?

Seeing her younger sister's stomach aching from hunger, An Qingge felt that she couldn't wait any longer.

"Xiao Wu, hang in there a little longer."

An Qingge forced herself to stand up despite her weakness, touched her sister's hair, and then resolutely walked out of the room.

"Sister~" An Qingwu called out worriedly, but she was too weak and her voice was too soft for An Qingge to hear.

"Bang! Bang!"

An Qingge knocked on Zhang Lin's door.

Zhang Lin smiled inside the room.

He had been waiting. The system required that his wife marry him voluntarily, and he couldn't force the An sisters with food. Besides, he wasn't that kind of person to begin with.

Now that An Qingge has taken the initiative to come to us, everything will be much easier.

Zhang Lin opened the door.

Seeing that Zhang Lin didn't seem too weak, An Qingge seemed to understand something, but she didn't ask for food. Instead, she said, "Zhang Lin, let's go out and find some food together."

An Qingge is very strong-willed.

Zhang Lin was aware of this.

They belong to the same company and work in sales. An Qingge often wins the top sales award and earns money to support herself and her sister.

It is said that her father was a gambler who owed a lot of money and often asked her for money.

Zhang Lin had also heard that some clients often had ulterior motives towards her, but she would rather lose the client than use herself as a bargaining chip.

If you force a woman like this to submit to Zhang Lin with food, she might submit to him, but she wouldn't do so willingly, and the system mission would be impossible to complete.

"What are you talking about? You're so weak, going out would be suicide." Zhang Lin wasn't surprised by her words.

“Staying at home is just waiting to die. Xiaowu can’t take it anymore, she has a stomachache.” An Qingge said silently, “If you don’t want to go, help me move the things blocking the door, and I’ll go out by myself.”

Zhang Lin looked at her.

She is about 1.65 meters tall, not fat, and has a graceful figure. Like her sister, she has fair and delicate skin and exquisite features. When she wears makeup, she exudes the aura of an elite career woman, and people would believe she is a female CEO.

Now, though she looks haggard and her skin is dull, her face is full of determination.

"You know I still have some food here, right?" Zhang Lin said calmly.

An Qingge nodded: "I know, but since you didn't take it out, it means you don't want to give it to us. You already gave us the food from the refrigerator before, which was more than enough. I won't be greedy."

Zhang Lin couldn't help but nod.

That's what a normal person is like.

An Qingge looked at Zhang Lin with some trepidation. She was so weak that she couldn't even move the things blocking the door. If Zhang Lin didn't help her, she wouldn't be able to get out.

She felt a pang of regret, wishing she had gone out a couple of days earlier.

But thinking about it, if there's food, who would risk their life to go out?

Given her current physical condition, going out would mean certain death.

But she had no other choice for her sister's sake.

Zhang Lin felt the time was right and said, "I can give you food. I have some left here. The three of us can eat it and it will last for another day or two."

As he spoke, he took out the rest of the items.

Upon seeing the food, An Qingge couldn't help but swallow. She forcibly restrained herself and looked away, asking, "What's the price?"

If you eat something before going out, your chances of survival will be higher.

Zhang Lin didn't answer, but said again, "I can also go out and find food and share it with you and your sister. Trust me, I can definitely feed the two of you."

"Why?" she asked again.

Zhang Lin looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "I like you."

That's a lie.

Zhang Lin might have a slight liking for her, after all, who doesn't love a beautiful woman?

However, in the apocalypse, he wouldn't risk his life to support two burdens just because of a little affection.

It's all for the system rewards.

If you put it that way, she'll probably be more accepting and more willing to accept it.

An Qingge was being stared at intently by Zhang Lin.

She... panicked.
