As Zhang Chen had predicted!
Zhang Chen was not afraid of anyone using kitchen knives or fruit knives to quickly kill zombies and grow into a threat to him in the future.
Because knives would wear out!
Especially when using a cleaver to chop off a zombie's head.
It wouldn't be as simple as slicing through melons and vegetables, as depicted in movies.
A cleaver was called a cleaver because it was used for cutting vegetables and meat.
For cutting bones, there was a special knife called a bone chopper.
Although a bone chopper had the shape of a cleaver, it was larger and heavier.
Chopping a zombie's head with a cleaver... it was easy to get stuck in the skull, and the blade would also get chipped.
It was basically a consumable item!
Thus, purified water and ham sausage, which were considered the rarest items in the apocalypse, did not sell.
Zhang Chen's weapons, however, were all sold out!
Hah, wanting to trade food for energy cores?
Survivors were not stupid. Anyone who could obtain energy cores
knew that these items could enhance their physical strength.
Under dire circumstances, who would give them up?
Wang Jiran did indeed have a geographical advantage at the start.
But he had underestimated the intelligence of other survivors.
In the extreme environment of the apocalypse, people became highly alert and sharp.
After all, most survivors lacking intelligence had already died the moment the zombies started moving!
Furthermore, Wang Jiran had made a fatal mistake!
That was openly selling food and water!
It was fine for Zhang Chen to sell cleavers, as people might assume he was at a kitchenware store.
People with weapons like these were generally formidable and not to be trifled with.
Few would dare to provoke them.
But Wang Jiran was different.
He possessed food and water, essential items for survival.
It was likely that Wang Jiran was already being targeted by many people.
He probably didn't even know it himself!
What a fool!
In the apocalypse, wanting to show off and be in the spotlight
was simply asking for a quicker death!
He didn't even understand the principle of "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down." How could he survive?
After selling his weapons, Zhang Chen was now well-funded.
He decided to check the auction house for anything he needed.
This time, he did not filter but casually flipped through several pages without a specific goal.
It was still the same as before, with items like women's underwear, hats, down jackets, ceramic bowls, and so on.
If Zhang Chen wasn't in the midst of the apocalypse,
he might have almost believed he was browsing Taobao.
It was truly a place where anything you could imagine, you could buy!
Zhang Chen flipped through a few more pages quickly, and suddenly an item appeared before his eyes.
[Bloody Key]*5 requires food or water, negotiable price!
[Map of Tianyang City] requires food or water, negotiable price!
[Map of Tianyang University Campus] requires food or water, negotiable price!
These three items were all posted by a girl named Zhao Xiyue.
Zhao Xiyue was a very beautiful girl, wearing an air stewardess uniform.
Her long legs were particularly striking.
However, Zhang Chen's focus was not on Zhao Xiyue's looks or figure.
But rather on her listings!
A key?
Seeing this item, Zhang Chen's eyes lit up.
He focused his attention on the keys.
Soon, a prompt box popped up.
[Bloody Key]: Can be used to open corresponding rooms in Tianyang University after cleaning. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
The current rooms corresponding to the keys are: school cafeteria storage, security monitoring room, locked female dormitory building, management department faculty office, and campus medical room.
The other rooms were not as important, but this cafeteria storage might contain a lot of well-packaged food!
Zhang Chen's eyes gleamed.
This was definitely a treasure trove!
He immediately sent a private message to Zhao Xiyue.
I saw what you posted. I want all of these. Name your price!
Soon, Zhao Xiyue replied:
Really? You want all these items?
That's great, can I trade for some water?
A bottle... is that okay?
When she asked this question, Zhao Xiyue was clearly a bit hesitant.
The importance of water was self-evident.
But what about keys and maps...
Their use was indeed limited!
For most people, just being able to avoid being discovered and eaten by zombies was fortunate enough!
Did anyone really explore according to a map?!
Let alone keys.
Who could accurately know which key opened which door in which building?
In her opinion, the value of these items was even less than that of a tempered glass ashtray on a table.
Asking for a whole bottle of water at once was quite a steep price!
Actually, Zhao Xiyue was just trying her luck. Even if she couldn't get a whole bottle, getting half a bottle, or even a sip of water, would be good.
Otherwise, these items in her hands would be worthless!
Zhang Chen shook his head and quickly replied:
One bottle is too much. I have a little less than half a bottle of water left.
If you agree, we can trade now!
As expected... it's not really feasible?
Zhao Xiyue hesitated noticeably and said with some uncertainty:
Only half a bottle...
And it's one you've already drunk from...
This...
Usually, only couples drink each other's water.
Zhao Xiyue was studying to be a flight attendant and had just started her first year of university. She hadn't had a boyfriend yet.
To immediately drink Zhang Chen's leftover water...
It felt a bit too intimate!
I don't have any other empty bottles. If you have one, I can try to trade the water directly!
Zhang Chen continued.
I don't have empty bottles either. I'm currently in a security guard room!
There are zombies all around, I don't dare to go out!
I found these items on a security guard's corpse inside...
Zhao Xiyue said, still shaken.
After a moment, she sighed softly and said:
Alas, forget it. At this point, it's useless to dwell on these things!
Then... let's trade! read books
Ding! Zhao Xiyue has sent you a trade request!
Accept!
Soon, a trading window appeared between the two.
Zhang Chen put in the half-empty bottle of purified water.
Zhao Xiyue put in [Bloody Key]*5, [Map of Tianyang City], and [Map of Tianyang University Campus] all at once.
Both parties clicked confirm.
Ding! You have lost half a bottle of purified water and obtained [Bloody Key]*5, [Map of Tianyang City], [Map of Tianyang University Campus]!
Thank you! You are a good person!
Zhao Xiyue said sincerely.
In her opinion, Zhang Chen's purchase of these items was partly because he might need the map to confirm his location.
And partly, it was definitely because Zhang Chen was a good person!
Because many people had proactively contacted Zhao Xiyue before.
They were not interested in these items at all.
These people had food and water, but they wanted Zhao Xiyue to exchange her body for them!
Using a little water and food, they wanted to trade for Zhao Xiyue's suggestive photos.
Or even have her record an indecent video for them.
Zhao Xiyue directly blocked such people with disgust.
Zhang Chen was the only one so far who had actually traded with her!
And he hadn't flirted with her at all during the entire process!
This made Zhao Xiyue feel a little more favorably towards Zhang Chen...
