The morning passed quickly amidst the repeated slashing. For Zhang Lin and An Qingge, it was a very fulfilling morning, but for the zombies near the residential area, it wasn't so pleasant.
Behind the van, Zhang Lin took a takeout box from an electric scooter parked by the roadside. Inside were the bloody left ears of more than thirty zombies.
"Yue Tong said that one contribution point can be exchanged for a pound of fresh meat or a pound of vegetables. Our efforts this morning can earn us a lot of food!" Zhang Lin said with satisfaction.
An Qingge also had a smile on her face. Half of the zombie ears in the box were her contribution. After so many days in the apocalypse, she had finally contributed her strength to this family.
Although there's now one more person in this little family than she had originally planned...
"There's a convenience store over there, let's go get something from it." An Qingge sat in the car for a while, ate something, and then pointed to the roadside.
She was still thinking about getting the TT.
"Go ahead."
Zhang Lin didn't care. Let her take it. She could take it, but he didn't have to. Having a child was one reason, but he didn't really like the feeling of having a layer of protection.
He then drove directly to the convenience store. The two got out of the car and started taking things out of the store. Although they could exchange food with the city lord, no one would complain about having too much food after the apocalypse.
At the same time, there were also various daily necessities, which Zhang Lin accepted with a smile. He had a spatial ring, and now, right in front of An Qingge, he directly took away everything from the convenience store.
She'd already used all the extraordinary templates, and she was pregnant with Zhang Lin's child, so there was no need to hide the spatial ring anymore.
An Qingge looked at him in surprise.
"What's this?"
"A spatial ring, 100 cubic meters of space. With this, we can carry a lot of food at once," Zhang Lin said while busy working.
An Qingge looked at his finger; there was a ring on it, the gemstone shimmering with an unusual light. She had noticed it before, but thought it was just an ornament; she never expected it to be such a treasure.
She didn't ask any more questions. When Zhang Lin took out the gemstone, he said that she could use it, but she shouldn't ask any questions. He wouldn't tell her even if she did. She wasn't the kind of woman who liked to pry into things.
She wouldn't question Zhang Lin about whether he loved her just because he had a secret.
At the same time, she also noticed Zhang Lin's other hand, on which was a bracelet with black and white jade stones intertwined.
She felt that this thing must be a treasure.
Next.
An Qingge stood guard at the door and dealt with a few zombies that wanted to come looking for food, while Zhang Lin cleared out everything in the convenience store.
At this moment, there was still nearly half the space left in his spatial ring.
After thinking about it, he even took away the shelves this time.
The first floor of the houses in Hope City is all shops. The city lord probably wants the people in the city to trade with each other and make perfect use of resources. These shelves can be placed in the shops and used to sell some useless things later.
After everything was settled, the two prepared to leave.
But then, a voice rang out from behind them.
"You...you guys, don't go!"
"Give all our things back!"
The convenience store's warehouse door opened, and a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, her face flushed, pointed at Zhang Lin and An Qingge, her voice filled with grief and indignation.
As soon as she finished speaking, another girl emerged from the warehouse, holding a mop handle and staring at the two of them warily.
The two girls were the same age and were both wearing convenience store uniforms. They were dirty all over, but they were in good spirits.
"Twins?" Zhang Lin looked at their dirty little faces and asked in surprise.
An Qingge also looked at them carefully and nodded, saying, "It really is true, their figures and appearances are exactly the same."
"Brother and sister, could you please leave some of your things for me..." another girl said pitifully.
They were indeed twins, one named Mu Xiaoya and the other Mu Xiaohui. They were both students working part-time at a convenience store during their holidays when the apocalypse suddenly struck.
At the time, there were only two of them working the night shift at the convenience store. After the zombies appeared, they managed to hide in the warehouse and lock the door, thus escaping the zombies.
For a while after that, they hid in the convenience store, constantly listening to the sounds outside. When they felt there were no more zombies, they would come out to get some food and then continue to hide in the warehouse.
People came to take food during this time, but they didn't dare to come out at all.
But this time, the twin sisters couldn't resist.
When people take it, a few bags are enough at most.
Good heavens, Zhang Lin emptied the entire store, not even leaving the shelves untouched.
Mu Xiaoya and Mu Xiaohui peered through the crack in the door, and they were dumbfounded!
I've seen ruthless people, but I've never seen anyone this ruthless!
So, Mu Xiaohui couldn't help but run out, angrily calling out to the two of them, and demanding that Zhang Lin and An Qingge leave their things behind.
Mu Xiaoya, on the other hand, came out with a mop handle. She could naturally see that Zhang Lin and An Qingge were extraordinary, so she didn't dare to say anything threatening and just pleaded politely.
"You've been hiding in the warehouse all this time?" Zhang Lin had seen the warehouse before, but he was too lazy to go and look, since he didn't lack supplies at all.
Unexpectedly, there were two more people hiding in the warehouse.
Both Mu Xiaoya and Mu Xiaohui had dirty faces, making it difficult to see their specific features, but it was generally clear that they had beautiful face shapes and regular features.
This gave Zhang Lin an idea.
"Yes...yes!" Mu Xiaohui had been angry and her tone was a bit harsh, but she had softened now and said pitifully, "Brother and sister, please don't take everything away. Leave some for us."
Seeing their pitiful state, An Qingge couldn't help but say, "Zhang Lin, leave them something."
She wasn't the kind of saintly figure in the apocalypse, but she was still kind by nature. Anyway, she and Zhang Lin weren't short of food, so leaving some wouldn't hurt.
Zhang Lin's expression turned cold. "Qingge, do you remember when I fired a shot downstairs? It was when I went to the convenience store."
"I know, didn't you say you killed a zombie?" An Qingge asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zhang Lin's words and her words are completely contradictory!
Zhang Lin continued, his tone chilling: "Actually, someone saw me using the spatial ring that day, and I killed him!"
"So what if he killed them?" Having witnessed Zhang Lin's ruthless decisiveness, An Qingge was quite indifferent to his killings. However, her expression suddenly changed as she looked at the twins. "You mean..."
“That’s right!” Zhang Lin nodded, then pulled out his pistol, slowly raised it, and aimed it at the twin sisters opposite him.
On the other side, Mu Xiaoya and Mu Xiaohui's expressions also changed.
At first, they were puzzled as to why Zhang Lin suddenly changed the subject.
But as Zhang Lin recounted his story, they understood.
The last person to see the spatial ring is already dead.
And them...
