Zhang Chen drove the jeep back to the heavy truck.
He gently touched the heavy truck with his hand.
Immediately, he reclaimed the heavy truck into his storage ring.
Now the vehicle slots in the storage ring were full.
One was the heavy truck, the other was the combat mecha!
Then, Zhang Chen drove the off-road vehicle, humming a tune, and returned to outside Building 8 of the residential compound!
Er Pang saw Zhang Chen return and couldn't contain his excitement.
His tail wagged like a fan, and he rushed over with his tongue hanging out.
He leaped straight into Zhang Chen's arms.
He licked him enthusiastically!
"Miss me, did anyone else come today?"
Zhang Chen asked.
Er Pang, of course, couldn't speak, nor could he understand such complex questions.
He continued to excitedly rub against Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen walked into the courtyard and found that the food bowl in the yard was empty.
The courtyard walls were intact, and the planted crops were all there.
However... in the corner of the wall, there were a few dark lumps...
Zhang Chen walked over to take a look and prompts immediately popped up:
[Mutated Beast Feces, can be used as fertilizer... effect slightly lower than mutated fertilizer...]
Hiss...
He didn't need this thing...
Zhang Chen covered it with some soil.
The courtyard was intact, and there were no signs of anyone climbing over the wall.
This indicated that the survivors who dared to go out to collect food were still a minority!
And even if they were to search, they would instinctively head towards the commercial district.
Very few people would come to the residential area!
After all, the commercial district had many restaurants, supermarkets, and the like, with abundant supplies.
Residential areas had unit doors and security doors, making them difficult to enter, and the stairwells were narrow.
It would be troublesome if they encountered zombies!
So, residential areas would not be the first choice for survivors!
As the sky began to darken.
Zhang Chen took Er Pang back into the building and locked the unit door.
He first went downstairs to check the diesel generator.
Because he didn't use much electricity during the day and only a little before sleeping at night.
So, not much diesel was consumed.
Judging by the situation, a barrel of oil would last a long time!
Only then did Zhang Chen return to his room.
Er Pang was very happy entering the room, running around on the floor.
From time to time, he would stare at Zhang Chen, as if afraid Zhang Chen would disappear!
Zhang Chen closed the electric curtains and turned on the lights.
Then he opened the chat channel to check today's transactions and chat messages!
Zhao Xiyue:
"Brother Zhang Chen, I had a great harvest today. I sold several tents, sleeping bags, chairs, and tables separately!
Bows and arrows also sold quite a few!
Just as you said, the demand for arrows has increased greatly, and I sold them all out!
Brother Zhang Chen, how about you? Did your day go smoothly?
Just now I heard the sound of a car braking, it was very loud, it sounded like someone entered the school playground!
I saw zombies rushing over like a tide!
Thanks to that person, the zombies around me have greatly decreased. I killed more than a dozen zombies this afternoon!
Hehe, I'm amazing, right!
Brother Zhang Chen, you haven't spoken all day, is everything okay on your end!
It's afternoon now, and I've actually seen a few black people on campus heading towards the dormitory!
I thought everyone in this world was from our Dragon Country, but there are foreigners too?
But these people have ill intentions, they even went to lift the skirt of a dead zombie!
Truly perverted!
Brother Zhang Chen, are you okay? You haven't replied to my message all day!
Pah, pah, pah, my jinx! Brother Zhang Chen must be fine!
Brother Zhang Chen, reply to me when you see this message..."
Zhang Chen read such a long message.
It spanned from morning to afternoon in various time segments.
The last message was twenty minutes ago!
"I'm here, just got home!"
Zhang Chen sent a message.
"~~~Brother Zhang Chen, you're back!"
Another instant reply!
Zhao Xiyue must be constantly guarding the trading channel and private chat channel.
She replied the moment she saw Zhang Chen's message!
"Mm, are you still safe over there?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"It's good, no one knows I'm in the security room, and the surrounding zombies have also decreased a lot!
If the zombies continue to decrease in the next few days, I can sneak into the convenience store across the street!
This way, I can support myself and won't always have to ask you to share food with me...
Food is so scarce in the apocalypse now... I feel like I owe you too much..."
Zhao Xiyue said somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh, right, I'll trade you the resources from today's trade!"
With that, Zhao Xiyue sent a trading window.
She sent over the harvest from today's trade.
Most of it was food, water, and energy cores!
A total of 122 energy cores.
This was the most numerous and most valuable resource from this trade!
A cheap longbow for 1 core, and arrows made from readily available wood.
They could be sold for several times their value with ease.
It was practically like picking up money!
However, now, Zhang Chen had a better way to collect cores!
So, to ordinary people, these 122 cores were like a windfall, a huge amount of wealth.
To Zhang Chen, it was just so-so!
"Mm, you've worked hard!
This is your payment for today!"
Zhang Chen traded a sausage, a box of instant noodles soaked in hot water, and a bottle of carbonated drink.
"Huh? Instant noodles that have been soaked?!"
"And they're still steaming! Ah, it smells so good!"
Zhao Xiyue's mouth watered uncontrollably as she looked at the steaming bowl of instant noodles.
"Mm, I also had instant noodles for dinner. A pot of boiling water was just enough to soak two bowls of instant noodles!
It would be a shame to let the remaining hot water cool down, as with the power outage, hot water is also a resource and cannot be wasted!
So I coincidentally soaked a bowl for you as today's sales commission!"
Zhang Chen said lightly.
"Mm... You're so kind..."
Zhao Xiyue replied with a blush as she drank the hot soup.
While the little girl was eating instant noodles...
Zhang Chen shifted his attention back to the regional chat channel.
Logically, he had seen Japanese people today.
Zhao Xiyue had seen black people.
This situation must not be an isolated incident.
It meant that after a few days in the apocalypse, survivors were gradually adapting to survival!
And began to search for supplies and resources everywhere!
Even foreigners had started to infiltrate the Dragon Country's region.
Someone in the chat channel must have reacted!
As expected, as soon as Zhang Chen opened the regional chat channel, he saw a barrage of verbal abuse!
