Chapter 7: Want Food? Bring Something Valuable in Exchange!
"But what happened to the zombies he killed? Where did they all go?" The tall girl looked at Xiao Yi's retreating figure, her brow furrowed in confusion.
As the two of them discussed it, Xiao Yi had already vanished from their sight.
This was a side window of the dormitory, so they couldn't see the front entrance at all.
The two girls sat back down on their beds, their hearts filled with anxiety, and prayed nervously that the valiant young man would fight his way up to save them!
"He must be our Prince Charming! He's coming to save us!"
"He's so powerful, he'll definitely make it up here!"
Just as the two girls were praying, a series of urgent knocks came from the dormitory door.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
"Who is it?!" the petite girl asked nervously.
"You two asked me to come. Open the door. I've killed all the zombies outside." Xiao Yi's cold voice came from the hallway.
The zombie virus had broken out during the day, during class time, so there weren't many people in the dormitory. When Xiao Yi had cut open the iron gate of the women's dorm and rushed in, there had only been five or six female zombies in the hallway, and they were the weakest kind.
So, Xiao Yi quickly arrived outside the two girls' dorm room.
The dorm door slowly opened. Seeing it was Xiao Yi, the two girls hurriedly let him in and shut the door behind him.
Xiao Yi glanced around. It was a very standard girls' dorm room, decorated in a warm and clean way, with a fragrant aroma unique to such spaces.
A few pink panties and a large, black bra hung on the side of the bed, looking particularly conspicuous.
The petite girl saw Xiao Yi looking at the panties by the bed, her face instantly flushed with embarrassment. "Why are you looking everywhere! We're about to die of thirst. Hurry up and give us some water and something to eat! Um... I love sausages the most!"
Xiao Yi gave a faint smile, then turned his curious gaze to the petite girl. "I do have a lot of water and food. There's still some left in the campus store, and I can get more anytime. But why should I give any to you?"
His voice was a bit cold, not because he was heartless, but because he refused to be betrayed for his kindness again!
He wanted these two to understand that he had no obligation to save them. If they wanted something, they had to pay a corresponding price!
He could save them, and he could give them food, but that would be his charity!
Not his obligation!
Of course, if they wanted more, they would have to pay a higher price!
The tall girl, Li Wanning, heard the coldness in Xiao Yi's voice and offered an awkward smile. "Thank you for saving us! My name is Li Wanning, and she's Shen Tingting. We're both sophomores. We've been trapped here for days, and we're really hungry and thirsty. We hope you can give us some food and water."
Xiao Yi glanced at Li Wanning, nodding in satisfaction. He took two sausages and two bottles of mineral water from his spatial bag, and tossed them to the two. "Here."
He was very satisfied with Li Wanning's attitude.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Li Wanning said gratefully, bowing slightly.
Shen Tingting, on the other hand, let out a cold hum, showing her little canine teeth, and grabbed the mineral water from the bed, gulping it down.
Both of them were extremely hungry and thirsty, and they quickly finished the sausages and water.
Her stomach feeling even emptier, Li Wanning said sheepishly, "Sir... could we have a little more food? We really haven't eaten in a long time..."
"You're so stingy! You only gave us this much! What can one little sausage do?!" Shen Tingting pouted, her lips now even more luscious after the water.
"Want more food and water? Fine. But what I just gave you was charity. I'm not a philanthropist. I can help you unconditionally once, but there won't be a second time. If you want more, you must trade something of value to me!" Xiao Yi's eyes roamed up and down Li Wanning's tall, curvaceous figure, his expression blank.
Li Wanning trembled, her face turning deathly pale.
Of course, she understood what Xiao Yi meant!
In their current situation, what could they possibly have that would be of value to him?
Besides themselves, they had nothing of value to offer!
But...
To survive, did she really have to do that?
"I can give you money!" Shen Tingting pulled a dozen hundred-yuan bills from her pocket and held them out to Xiao Yi. "This much money could have bought hundreds of sausages before! Now, I'm just asking you to sell me ten!"
Shen Tingting had been the daughter of a wealthy family. Before all this, she wouldn't have even glanced at someone like Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi gave a faint smile and shook his head slightly. "It's the apocalypse now. This paper money has completely lost its value. You should save it to bargain with the zombies. I don't need it."
"Then... what do you want?" Shen Tingting asked, staring at him with her large, watery eyes.
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, glanced at Li Wanning, and said with a hint of amusement, "She should know what to do."
