So many messages came in at once, Zhang Chen had to sift through them one by one to identify genuine buyers from those who were just inquiring out of boredom.
He also had to block those who were trying to get something for free.
Among the remaining inquirers, he still had to haggle...
Sometimes the other party would go back on their word and not buy, wasting half a day of negotiation...
If it weren't for Zheng Hao stepping in and buying ten longbows at once,
Zhang Chen probably wouldn't have sold ten by now.
It just so happened that Zhao Xiyue, that girl, had nothing to do.
She was confined to the security room and had plenty of time.
Instead of being idle, it was better for her to help him sell weapons.
After agreeing on the price, Zhang Chen could directly transact with the buyer!
Kill zombies to earn core crystals, sell weapons to earn core crystals.
Both done simultaneously, without hindering each other!
That's what efficiency is! I'll keep an eye on that monster's movements for you, it's not a task, I'll definitely pay attention!
Selling things is also fine, I love negotiating with people the most!
Thank you... for taking care of me...
Zhao Xiyue said gratefully.
In her opinion, observing the monster's movements, what kind of task was that?
Just checking every now and then, was that a task?
As for selling things...
This was a matter that heavily tested trust!
What if Zhao Xiyue deliberately negotiated a lower price and took a kickback?
Zhang Chen's willingness to entrust this job to her showed his immense trust in her!
To meet such a man in the apocalypse...
It was truly wonderful!
She definitely couldn't let Zhang Chen down!
Zhao Xiyue had already given up hope of surviving, but Zhang Chen had reignited it!
I'm not taking care of you, this is mutually beneficial! Understand?
Zhang Chen corrected.
Mmm-hmm, okay, mutually beneficial!
In short, thank you!
It's so good to meet you~ Hee hee~
Zhao Xiyue replied with a smile.
What's so good?
What a foolish woman...
Zhang Chen told Zhao Xiyue the production cost of the [Precise Longbow].
He also recounted a few recent successful transactions and made comparisons.
This allowed Zhao Xiyue to have a preliminary estimate of the longbow's selling price.
Then, he continued with his afternoon battles!
Zhang Chen glanced at the wall clock. It was already 2 PM.
There were about 4 hours left until dark.
He wondered if he could reach Tianyang University in such a short time.
The residential area where Zhang Chen was hiding was only 500 meters away from Tianyang University.
However, the current alleyways were in the opposite direction of Tianyang University.
So, no matter how many zombies he killed here, it would have no effect on that area.
Moreover, the zombies in the vicinity had already been cleared, so he had to move to a new location!
Zhang Chen returned the way he came, passed through the residential area, and arrived at the other side's gate.
This was a small gate usually used by pedestrians.
A large iron gate, four to five meters high, blocked the way.
On the side, there was a small iron gate that required card swiping.
Zhang Chen took out the access card for Building 8 and swiped it.
Beep!
It worked indeed!
The small iron gate automatically sprang open.
But Zhang Chen didn't rush out; he stood inside the gate.
This was because he heard the small iron gate making a rhythmic beeping sound.
The frequency of this beeping sound was increasing.
This indicated that the small iron gate was about to close.
Heh heh...
Ugh...
From the covered part of the building, two zombies slowly emerged.
Upon seeing Zhang Chen, they suddenly went mad and charged at him at a hundred-mile-an-hour sprint!
Roar~
In the past, such speed would have been terrifying in Zhang Chen's eyes.
But now, Zhang Chen had leveled up twice.
He had reached the early stage of Awakener Level 1!
And he had both gene and energy dual evolution talents.
The zombies' desperate charge appeared to be in slow motion to Zhang Chen.
As the zombies were about to pounce on him.
Er Pang let out a low growl.
Its body instantly swelled!
Woof!
It leaped forward, bit the first zombie's neck, and began to shake it furiously.
With just a few shakes, the sound of cracking bones could be heard.
The zombie's neck was twisted and broken.
The other zombie pounced on Er Pang and tried to bite it.
But Er Pang's body was covered in thick and tough fur.
The bite couldn't even dislodge a single strand of fur.
Er Pang turned and bit down hard.
Its long canine teeth plunged into the zombie's eye socket, directly piercing its brain.
The second zombie was also dealt with!
Er Pang had dispatched two zombies in one fluid motion.
Er Pang wagged its tail towards Zhang Chen as if seeking praise!
Er Pang is so good!
Zhang Chen smiled and patted Er Pang's furry head.
The creature looked like it was enjoying it immensely!
Collect!
Let's keep going!
Zhang Chen followed the markers on the map and headed towards Tianyang University.
500 meters, separated by a city block!
The roads here were much more congested than before.
Cars were parked bumper to bumper on the road.
Heavy trucks couldn't possibly drive on such roads!
It seemed he would have to fight his way through step by step!
Er Pang also sensed the danger on this road.
It maintained its enlarged form, not daring to relax at all!
According to the map, there were two notable locations on this road.
One was a gas station 200 meters away.
Gasoline and diesel were always the best energy sources, and it was always good to stock up!
Another was a large shopping mall at the intersection approaching Tianyang University!
Shopping malls usually contained restaurants, supermarkets, clothing stores, and the like.
There were definitely plenty of resources inside!
Zhang Chen could also ignore these resources and rush directly to Tianyang University to deal with the Lurkers first.
However, Zhang Chen, being cautious, didn't want to be so reckless!
If the zombies on the way to his destination weren't cleared,
Once he entered the university and made some noise,
Zhang Chen would find himself in a dire situation, attacked from both front and back!
A smart person would never put themselves in such a dangerous position.
Therefore, the zombies in this block had to be cleared before he could safely advance! Read novels for free.
The man and his dog walked tens of meters along the road.
Shadowy figures of zombies could be seen everywhere on the road.
From the shops on both sides, occasional zombies wandered to the windows and then aimlessly roamed away.
The old method, it was time to engage head-on!
It was a good opportunity to test his strength after leveling up twice!
Zhang Chen observed the arrangement of vehicles on the road.
A large bus had overturned on the road, with several cars crashing into it consecutively.
More than half of the street was blocked, forming a natural city wall of cars.
A gap of seven to eight meters wide was exposed on the right side!
Zhang Chen looked at the cars parked in the middle of the road and pushed them with all his might.
The cars slowly began to move.
He successively pushed three to four cars to block the right side.
Then, he gripped the lower edge of a car with both hands and exerted a sudden force.
With a creak!
A small car weighing over a ton was easily flipped onto its side on the ground by Zhang Chen.
Ugh...
A zombie from a shop was attracted by the noise, and as soon as its head appeared,
It was immediately bitten off at the neck by Er Pang, who had been lying in ambush nearby!
Zhang Chen cast a look of approval at Er Pang, and then pushed another car under the overturned vehicle for cover.
This was to prevent the zombies from pushing over the sedan when they swarmed over.
Thus, a city wall composed of cars was erected!
