After a few people talked to each other, the family finally understood the current situation.
Due to the lack of food, the survivors of the D City base no longer go out to kill zombies. Most of them lie indoors to save calories and energy. Some people even starve to death while lying in bed, but this way of death is also the most enviable way for others.
Lying in a warm bed in the cold winter, sleeping quietly alone, even if you starve to death, it is better than being eaten by zombies outside.
That’s what Yao Rui thought.
Today was already the third day since she stopped eating. She didn’t know how long she would be hungry before she could see Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. She also didn’t know if the man who made her so miserable was still alive. But he should still be alive. After all, he took away so many supplies, which were all the supplies she had collected with great effort!!!
Is she stupid to believe that man?
In fact, it is not just her. There are too many examples around her of people being betrayed by relatives and friends, or even losing their lives. Between survival and morality, many people will choose to survive first.
If she had another chance to live, she would never trust anyone easily again, nor would she leave any regrets before she died.
If...if I could do it again.
In a trance, Yao Rui, who was lying on the iron bed, smelled the strong aroma of rice porridge. Could this be an illusion before death?
It must be because she was too hungry that she had this hallucination that she kept thinking about day and night.
It just seemed like someone was gently rocking her and calling her name.
Who is it?
She slowly opened her eyes and found a familiar face calling her anxiously.
Is this Dayu?
Dayu's original name was actually Wu Xiaoyu, but because she was tall and had a good relationship with the others, everyone affectionately called her Dayu.
"Yao Rui, you're awake? That's great, you're not dead yet!"
Dayu's originally anxious face turned into a happy one as he spoke.
“I’m dying”
A weak and hoarse sound came out of Yao Rui's mouth.
"Don't die yet. I'll tell you something before you decide whether to live or not. If you still decide to die, then give me your crystal core, okay?"
Dayu spoke quickly, gesticulating.
After she bought the supplies from Zhang Xiaohong, she and Kong Shangjie split up to wake up the people who were still half asleep. Yao Rui was the third person she called, of course the first two had already fallen into a deep sleep...
"Crystal core? What's the use of that thing?"
Yao Rui said weakly.
“This is what I want to tell you.”
So Dayu sat next to Yao Rui and told her about someone coming to the base to sell supplies. At first, Yao Rui was obviously skeptical, but when Dayu asked her urgently whether she wanted to continue to choose death and if so, she would have to inherit her crystal core or something, she finally believed it...
"Have you already bought it?"
Yao Rui asked, using her arms to prop herself up.
Dayu nodded, but she didn't have many crystal cores, and she didn't know whether the two people in front who were not awakened by her had crystal cores. But it seemed that Yao Rui obviously did not intend to die.
"You're not going to die? That's fine. I'll sell you this bowl of porridge for 30 crystal cores. I guarantee you'll have enough strength to walk to Zhang Xiaohong. What do you think?"
As if by magic, Dayu pulled out a bowl of steaming porridge from below.
30 crystal cores for a bowl of porridge?
So cheap?
"I buy"
Yao Rui forced a smile, then took out a handful of crystal cores from under the iron bed. She drank the porridge in small sips while watching Dayu let her count out 30 crystal cores and take them away.
This way of trading made her feel very useful when she woke up again. Although Dayu was also her teammate, she always felt that Dayu's straightforward personality was a bit weird before, but now she likes him very much.
The soft porridge slid into her stomach that had not had a drop of water for several days, and Yao Rui couldn't help but tear up her eyes. If there really was a chance to continue living, who would be willing to die?
Dayu counted 30 crystal cores and put them into her pocket. That was great. A bowl of porridge in exchange for a pound of food. She didn't lose out, hehe.
After telling Yao Rui Zhang Xiaohong's address, Dayu went to call other people. She still had a few bowls of porridge to sell...
After thanking Dayu, Yao Rui quickly finished the porridge in her bowl. She took a deep breath and pulled out two huge opaque storage boxes from under the bed.
She opened the two storage boxes, which were filled with crystal cores.
Before leaving, Tang Yaoting took away all her supplies, leaving her only these two boxes of crystal cores, which he thought were useless. Unexpectedly, these crystal cores could now be used to buy supplies.
…
Su Jin looked in surprise at a young woman who walked into the room. She was so thin that she came in carrying a huge sack on her back.
Could this be a power-type mutant?
Yao Rui is not a power-type mutant, she is only a fire-type mutant. Mutants have good physical strength, and she was really worried about leaving the crystal cores in the dormitory, so she simply found a sack, poured both large boxes of crystal cores into it, and then carried it in by herself.
"Excuse me, are you selling supplies here?"
Yao Rui asked as she looked at the honest-looking people in front of her.
“Hello, we sell it.”
Su Jin replied.
Yao Rui nodded, picked up the crystal core again, walked to the front and placed it in front of a few people.
"Can all these crystal cores be exchanged for supplies?"
Yao Rui’s words surprised the whole family. A big client!
They rarely saw people who came alone to buy supplies with so many crystal cores.
"Sure, come with me over here and count them. It might take some time to count so many."
Huang Yunxiang smiled and said, there must be at least tens of thousands of crystal cores.
Yao Rui looked at the family again, then nodded and followed Huang Yunxiang into the hall of the house. Lin Xiuyuan was kind enough to give her a price list so that she could consider what to buy.
Gradually, several more people who were woken up came in in disbelief. Some men even walked in slowly while holding the wall. The women were fine because it was Dayu who woke them up. Dayu sold a bowl of porridge for every person he woke up, so the women still had some strength.
"Oh my god, is the world coming to an end? Why is there someone selling food?"
A skinny man shouted, "Are all the zombies outside dead?"
"Uncle, the apocalypse isn't over yet, there are a lot of zombies out there."
Kong Shangjie and Zhao Le walked in and took over the conversation. They had looked for some crystal cores everywhere. Although some of them were ownerless crystal cores left by the dead, it would be a waste even if they didn't want them, so they just collected them all.
