Chapter 5 Do you have any food left? Can you give me some?

"Boom, boom, boom, boom."

Zhao Yunduo, who was dozing off, was awakened by a knock on the door.

She rubbed her eyes and subconsciously shouted back, "Who is it?"

As soon as she said this, she immediately covered her mouth.

No, it’s the end of the world now, and the knock on the door feels so wrong!

Zhao Yunduo regretted it so much that she almost slapped herself in the face, but it was too late for her to pretend that no one was in the room.

Her voice had already reached the ears of the person knocking on the door, and after hearing the voice, the person returned it to Zhao Yunduo.

"Big sister, it's you. I'm so hungry, do you have any food? Can you share some with me?"

It was a man's voice, deep but hoarse, sounding like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

There was no peephole on the door of the rental house, and Zhao Yunduo didn't dare to open the door rashly. He could only lower his voice and pretend to be someone who was not to be messed with.

"I have nothing to eat either!"

"Big sister, please be kind and give me anything to eat. I won't mind if it's rotten or bad."

The man refused to give in, as if he was sure that there was still food in Zhao Yunduo's house.

But there was no food in Zhao Yunduo's house. Even if she had her best friends to feed her, there was only one bottle of mineral water left. What would she drink if she gave it to the people outside? !

Besides, she has read a lot of doomsday movies and novels. Humans are the scariest, okay?

Even if it wasn't the end of the world, Zhao Yunduo would usually stay indoors and wouldn't dare open the door if someone knocked on the door.

Seeing that he refused to leave, Zhao Yunduo simply shut up.

Anyway, he couldn't break the door, so he had to stay outside if he had the guts. Without water or food, she didn't believe that man could stay outside for the rest of his life.

"Good luck, good luck, good luck, we——"

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

Zhao Yunduo quickly turned off the volume button of her mobile phone, and the knocking sound outside stopped instantly. But immediately, the man raised his voice and asked her: "Why is there still sound in your room? Is there electricity? Big sister, you are not trying to attract zombies to chase me away, are you? I tell you, I killed all the zombies around here--"

Zhao Yunduo really didn't want to pay attention to the man's nonsense, so she simply grabbed her phone and hid in the bathroom. Although the bathroom was not big and was in a corner of the room, it could at least block out some noise.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Hello?"

Shen Linglan's puzzled voice came from the other side, "Huh? Why do you suddenly feel so strong? "

Zhao Yunduo didn't want to make her worry, and didn't want to explain too much so that people outside could hear him making a phone call, so he simply said nothing, changed the subject, and asked Shen Linglan what was wrong.

Shen Linglan said with a smile that she had just got off work and was going to buy a midnight snack. She also asked Zhao Yunduo what she wanted to eat.

Zhao Yunduo looked at the solid, tightly closed door. The sounds outside could no longer be heard.

But Zhao Yunduo couldn't help feeling a little scared. She thought about it and realized she didn't know if she was going to die. In this familiar yet strange world, she wanted to use alcohol to numb her fear and uneasiness.

"I want to drink...if possible, give me one of those five-dollar fried chicken legs on the corner."

"Okay!"

Shen Linglan ordered two chicken legs, a barbecue for Zhao Yunduo, and two bottles of beer.

After the food was passed over, Zhao Yunduo was stunned when he saw a big bag of his favorite barbecue. He asked Shen Linglan stupidly, "Baby, did you get your salary or do you want to die? I'm so scared when you suddenly ordered so much food for me."

Zhao Yunduo pricked up her ears and listened carefully for a while, and found that the sound outside had completely disappeared, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

But just in case, Zhao Yunduo still closed the window to prevent the barbecue aroma from wafting outside. If the man didn't leave, it would be bad to confirm that there was really food here.

Fortunately, Shen Linglan only ordered some foods with lighter flavors, such as grilled fish tofu, grilled cabbage, and grilled ginkgo nuts, which made Zhao Yunduo feel a lot more relaxed.

Shen Linglan burst into laughter, "Duo'erbao, I have some shocking good news to tell you!"

Shen Linglan told Zhao Yunduo the news that the system had doubled her balance, which left Zhao Yunduo stunned.

"If I eat my fill, the money in your bank card will double!?"

"Yes!"

"I'm going to rip you off, you poor bitch! Why did you order so much expensive food for me! How much did it cost you!?"

Shen Linglan calculated that she had spent thirty-three yuan, including the beer, and had thirty-seven yuan left in her bank card.

Zhao Yunduo wanted to scold Shen Linglan, "You spent thirty-seven yuan on me, and I will lose sixty or seventy yuan tomorrow! Why don't you order me a boiled egg steamed bun, and I can still be full! You can also order more money to double your balance! And, what kind of midnight snack are you having? This is a waste of money! You're losing a lot!"

Shen Linglan held her forehead and said, "Bao'er, you are a human, not a pig. If I feed you steamed buns every day, that would be too inhuman."

There is a reason why they can't save money. In the past, they had to eat nothing but steamed bread for several months in order to pay for their tuition. After graduation, they wanted to eat something good when they earned a little money. If they had the habit of saving money, they wouldn't still be living in a small, shabby house.

One cannot neglect one's own stomach, and one cannot neglect one's best friend's stomach even more. Moreover, now that Zhao Yunduo has eaten and drunk her fill, Shen Linglan's bank card balance will skyrocket, so she must be treated to even more delicious food and drinks.

Today it doubled to 70 yuan, and I spent more than 30 yuan. If it doubled to 70 yuan tomorrow, wouldn't that mean I ate several meals for free today? Shen Linglan felt that she had made a fortune, didn't she?

Hearing that Zhao Yunduo was still heartbroken, Shen Linglan wanted to laugh.

"Eat it now! Barbecue can't stop you from eating!"

Because when they were passed, the barbecue and chicken legs were freshly grilled. Zhao Yunduo was already overwhelmed by the aroma of the barbecue. She opened a bottle of cold beer and clinked it with her phone, "Lan Erbao, cheers!"

"Cheers."

Compared to the last time when she toasted to Zhao Yunduo's "tombstone", this time, Shen Linglan drank with genuine joy, as long as Zhao Yunduo was alive.

Before, when she only had a few dozen dollars left, she was thinking about feeding her best friend. Now with this system, Shen Linglan will be able to take Zhao Yunduo to eat and drink well in the future!

Zhao Yunduo thought so too.

"So, as long as I eat enough, your balance will double?"

Zhao Yunduo counted on his fingers, swallowed a mouthful of squid tentacles and then said, "What's the difference between you and a rich woman!? I don't care, then I won't go out, and you have to be responsible for supporting me."

Shen Linglan agreed immediately.

"I still have thirty-seven yuan left. I'll give you a big meat bun and peanut milk for breakfast tomorrow, which should be ten yuan. Then I'll get fifty-four yuan tomorrow, which is enough to last me a day! I'll get my salary the day after tomorrow, which will be nearly two thousand yuan! Duo'erbao, follow me, I won't treat you badly!"

"Then when you pay me, I want to eat KFC!"

"Kendrao is not good enough for you, baby! I'll buy you a Bidrao!"

The two of them chatted nonsense for a while, and as Zhao Yunduo burped, the dinging sound in Shen Linglan's head started to ring again.

"Ding, congratulations to the host's best friend for having a full meal and a full drink today. As a reward, the host's bank card balance will have an extra zero."

"What..."

Shen Linglan exclaimed, "There's an extra zero in the balance!!! I had a midnight snack and there's an extra zero in the balance???"

Zhao Yunduo drank a lot of wine, and his mind was confused. "What midnight snack? I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore..."

"The balance after the midnight snack has been added to the balance!!!" Shen Linglan jumped up, "Zhao Yunduo, you are so proud! Just wait for me to turn you into a pig!"

Zhao Yunduo fell on the bed, muttering, "What pig? Shen Linglan, you are the pig, a porcupine, a big wild boar!"

Shen Linglan opened the mobile app and found that the balance had become three hundred and seventy yuan.

She was no longer sleepy in an instant.

I was absent from work for half a day today, so a day's salary was deducted. However, Zhao Yunduo earned it back by having a meal.

If it wasn't early morning now, Shen Linglan would have wanted to jump up and shout "Great!"

If she could touch Zhao Yunduo, Shen Linglan would definitely pick her up and kiss her hard, saying to her, "My best friend, I love you."
