He had plenty of space in his backpack anyway.
It wouldn't be difficult to fit them all in.
Moreover, generators, diesel, and gasoline would definitely play a significant role in the future!
Just because the city had power now didn't mean it always would!
What if this was just a benefit of the beginner's protection period?
Logically speaking, the apocalypse should have rendered generators inoperable within half a year at most!
The current situation was definitely abnormal.
It was better to be prepared!
"Alright, thanks, brother. You're welcome to visit our camp anytime!"
"We're located at the stadium. The accommodation is excellent, with clean beds and a safe activity area!"
"Our team has grown to twenty people now, and half of them are girls!"
"We even have a celebrity among us!"
Zheng Hao seized the opportunity to promote his camp.
"Got it! If nothing else, that's all for now!"
Zhang Chen replied indifferently and completed the transaction.
"Are you there?"
Suddenly, Zhao Xiyue sent him a message.
"Yes? What's up?"
Zhang Chen was curious. This girl usually contacted him at night.
Why was she contacting him in the daytime today?
Could it be that she had also seen his listing for the longbow and wanted to buy one?
Zhao Xiyue didn't reply; she directly sent a trade invitation.
Subsequently, various items were placed on the trade interface.
[Mutated Fertilizer] *30, [Bloody Key] *2, [Clean Cloth] *10, [Empty Mineral Water Bottle] *3, [High-Lumen Flashlight] *2, [Storage Battery] *3!
Before Zhang Chen could ask what was going on, he immediately clicked to lock the trade.
"???"
"Little brother, I know you're a good person. I'm giving all of this to you!"
"Giving it all to me? What about you?"
Zhang Chen had a vague feeling that something serious was about to happen!
"I won't be able to use them anymore. A large group of zombies suddenly appeared on campus!"
"There are also zombies that crawl on the ground with incredible speed, possessing long claws and looking utterly terrifying!"
"A survivor team passed by here earlier, and they were easily devoured by this monster!"
"Cleavers and the like couldn't even damage it!"
"I definitely can't escape. I'll be trapped and die here sooner or later!"
"Since I can't use these things anymore, I'm giving them to you. I hope they'll be useful to you!"
"Also... I'm very happy to have met you before I die!"
As Zhao Xiyue spoke, she sent a photo of herself smiling.
Her smile was bright and radiant.
However, after three days of irregular meals, her cheeks had noticeably thinned!
This only added to her delicate charm, making her look even more pitiable.
"I'm giving you this photo. I hope you'll remember me in the future!"
"Remember your friend in this apocalypse!"
"You are the first friend I've made in this world!"
Zhao Xiyue said slowly.
"Crawling zombies?"
Zhang Chen asked, frowning.
So far, he had only encountered normal zombies.
He had only heard about different types of zombies in the chat channel.
"Yes, its appearance is truly horrifying..."
After that, Zhao Xiyue sent an image.
"I managed to take this picture when it wasn't paying attention..."
"I personally witnessed it tear a strong man, who was over 1.9 meters tall, in half..."
"If you encounter it in the future, you must stay far away!"
"Shouldn't people prioritize themselves?"
Normally, Zhao Xiyue should have hidden the existence of the monster and tried to get Zhang Chen to save her!
That would be the normal way of thinking!
This girl, even at the brink of death, was worried about Zhang Chen encountering a terrifying monster?
What a foolish woman!
Zhang Chen looked at the image.
It was a monster covered in muscles, with its head grown backward on its neck.
Its limbs were twisted, crawling on the ground, and its fingers and toes had grown long, sharp claws.
It looked difficult to deal with at first glance!
Zhang Chen focused his attention on the picture.
Soon, a prompt box appeared:
[Crawler, Type 2 Mutant Zombie, Swift Movement, Sensitive Senses! Killing it yields abundant Energy Cores!]
[As long as you don't encounter this fellow in a confined space, and fight it in an open area, your chances of winning a one-on-one battle are very high!]
Abundant energy cores?
Very high chances of winning?
Zhang Chen's heart stirred!
If this guy was completely beyond his current capabilities,
Then, no matter what Zhao Xiyue said, Zhang Chen wouldn't dare to challenge such a monster.
Staying alive was the most important thing!
Zhang Chen wouldn't throw his life away for a girl he had only known for three days!
Since this guy was not his match...
And it also carried a large number of energy cores...
It was worth a try!
Zhang Chen took out a ten-liter barrel of purified water from his storage space and also took out the empty water bottles Zhao Xiyue had just traded him.
He directly poured 500 milliliters of purified water from the large barrel.
When operating within the storage space, water and food could be separated directly.
As long as there was a container.
Zhang Chen placed this bottle of water, along with a sausage, on the trade interface and sent it to Zhao Xiyue.
Then he clicked to lock the trade.
Zhao Xiyue: ???
"You don't need to give me more water and food..."
"I can't escape, and I have nothing to trade you..."
"Besides, being trapped here means needing food and water every day... you can't afford to support me..."
Zhang Chen smiled helplessly. This woman was truly endearingly foolish.
Who said this stuff was free for you? Stop being so clever!
Giving you food and water naturally comes with a price!
Zhao Xiyue: "But... I really don't have anything left to trade you..."
"I don't have any valuable items on me..."
"You don't mean..."
As Zhao Xiyue said this, her pretty face suddenly flushed, and she continued:
"You don't mean you want those kinds of photos and videos, do you?"
"What are you thinking? Am I that sleazy?"
"Sorry... I was just saying, don't be angry~"
"I'm not angry, let's talk business!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
"I have two tasks for you. The first task is, while ensuring your own safety, to keep an eye on this monster's movements for me!"
"The second task is, I still have a few [Precision Longbows] left that I haven't sold. You'll be responsible for selling them for me!"
Zhang Chen's plan was clear.
Knowing the monster's movements would allow him to launch a preemptive strike.
Being ambushed by such a creature on the road would be no joke!
Furthermore, selling weapons was simply too time-consuming!
