Chapter 18 Zombie Tide Emerges

This place is very safe, no one has come here at all.

Nor did I see any so-called "little cuties"!

Never mind, I'll deal with it later!

Zhang Chen chose to stay in a unit on the fifth floor.

Firstly, the fifth floor was the highest, offering the most expansive view.

Secondly, the fifth floor provided direct access to the rooftop.

There was a small garden here.

Zhang Chen planned to plant some potato tubers here and give it a try.

Living on the fifth floor made it convenient to tend to these crops!

Before it got dark.

Zhang Chen hurried back to Building No. 3 to retrieve all the supplies he had stored.

He moved them to Building No. 8!

This would be Zhang Chen's stronghold from now on!

Everything was ready!

At this moment, the last ray of sunlight also gradually disappeared below the horizon...

It was the night for zombie frenzy again!

Zhang Chen lightly pressed the switch for the electric curtains.

In an instant, the blackout curtains in all the rooms on the fifth floor were slowly drawn.

The room was plunged into darkness!

Zhang Chen pressed the "bright mode" switch again.

Soon, the lights in all the rooms illuminated, making it as bright as day!

The blackout curtains perfectly isolated the light inside the room from the outside.

Even if someone stood downstairs, it would be difficult to confirm that the lights were on in this room.

Hmm, I really like this modern smart home!

Zhang Chen sat on the soft leather sofa, casually took out a bottle of purified water, and gulped down more than half of it!

Refreshing!

In this environment, being able to drink water heartily was an extreme luxury!

Many people wished they could put a scale on a bottle of water.

Only taking a tiny sip when they were parched.

Zhang Chen opened the auction and trading channel.

Instantly, various successful auction notifications popped up!

Ding! You successfully sold two sections of toilet paper and received a Key *1!

Ding! You successfully sold two sections of toilet paper and received a Fruit Knife *1!

Ding! You successfully sold two sections of toilet paper and received a Storage Ring Fragment *1!

Ding! You successfully sold two sections of toilet paper and received a Bloodstained Key *1!

......

All 60+ sections of toilet paper Zhang Chen had listed for auction were sold!

He roughly counted and received a total of:

[Keys] *22, [Access Cards] *15, [Fruit Knives] *7, [Storage Ring Fragments] *5, [Car Keys] *8, [Energy Core] *2...

Someone actually traded Energy Cores for toilet paper?

Hiss...

That's quite a peculiar way of thinking!

But Zhang Chen reconsidered and understood.

Some survivors appeared in places like kitchens, with weapons and food.

They were capable of killing zombies, but lacked clothes and toilet paper.

They couldn't possibly take off their clothes to use, could they...

What would they wear afterward?!

Moreover, clothes also had a certain defensive capability, which could resist simple abrasions.

Who knew Zhang Chen had grasped the market so precisely.

He had exchanged so many resources for less than a roll of toilet paper!

It was a massive profit!

Looking at the auction and trading channel again.

Many people had followed suit and listed toilet paper.

Possibly due to vicious bidding, toilet paper was now being sold by the roll.

It was nowhere near as profitable as when Zhang Chen first listed his toilet paper!

The auction house was still mostly filled with all sorts of strange and useless items.

Food and water remained scarce commodities.

Occasionally, someone would list items for exchange for Energy Cores.

But the prices were astronomically high!

Some even wanted 10 Energy Cores for half a bottle of water.

It was like daylight robbery!

The food and water provided by the system were gone, I'm hungry and thirsty, can someone give me something to eat, I'm so hungry!

By the way, why isn't Bigshot Wang Jiran selling food and water anymore? He said he had a large amount of resources to sell this morning!

Without Bigshot Wang Jiran, the prices of food and water are too high, I can't afford them!

Could it be that the Bigshot met with an accident!

Or maybe the Bigshot found his ideal girl and they're spending time together!

Is anyone near Fifth Middle School? If you see this, please message me privately. I've been looking for you for a long time!

Does anyone know me? I'm looking for a team, only familiar people, I don't even dare to go out, the zombies outside are too scary!

My little sister has a good figure, selling videos, content can be customized, price negotiable, Bigshots with food and water, please contact me! ~

The people in the chat channel didn't know that Wang Jiran was dead yet.

They were still hoping for a good deal, exchanging an Energy Core for a bottle of water or a piece of ham sausage.

For Zhang Chen, a single Energy Core was equivalent to dealing with two zombies.

It could be done in minutes!

Moreover, as his strength increased, it would become easier for Zhang Chen to obtain Energy Cores.

To Zhang Chen, individual Energy Cores were becoming less valuable!

But food and water were necessities, and they were consumables!

Once eaten, they were gone.

Zhang Chen would definitely not trade such precious resources for Energy Cores.

Besides...

Revealing that he had food and water was essentially courting death!

Until Zhang Chen's strength reached an absolute advantage, lying low was the way to go!

Now that the survivor camp has fifteen survivors, our combat power is improving rapidly!

Our combat team can now simultaneously eliminate about three zombies!

We are planning to attack a large supermarket nearby soon, and survivors who participate in the attack will receive priority resource allocation!

You're welcome to message me privately and tell me your address, and I'll bring people to rescue you!

Also, please note that recently I've noticed a group of people, about 4 men and 2 women, who seem to be robbing isolated survivors!

Please take care of yourselves!

Zheng Hao made a timely reappearance, showcasing his presence.

And shared some information.

The camp has grown again?

Zhang Chen remained silent.

There's truth to the saying that more people means greater strength.

Teamwork has its advantages, but it also has its drawbacks!

In the apocalypse, especially when resources are extremely scarce.

The wickedness of human nature is often displayed to the extreme!

Zhang Chen watched the chat channel for a while longer.

Suddenly, a message caught Zhang Chen's attention!

Another boring day on the top floor, I saw three survivors being eaten by zombies again today...

Zombies love to hide in dark corners, so be sure to observe carefully when you go out, and be extremely cautious, you only have one life!

Also, a friendly reminder, there is a massive zombie horde on Yingbin Road, so dense that it's impossible to see the end. Those nearby should be careful to take detours!

Holy crap, there are some weird existences in this zombie horde, they have very disgusting appearances and crawl on the ground!

And there are giant zombies taller than buses...

My goodness, this is simply a zombie expo! Friends near Yingbin Road, if you can, it's best to stay away from there!
