"Hi, handsome, how can you see clearly from so far away? Come over here, and I'll put on a good show for you!" Lingling flirtatiously winked at the man on the slope, her hands gathered behind her head, pushing her youthful chest up high. In an instant, her fair and well-proportioned body was fully revealed, but her small face, similar to A Xue's, had a slightly greenish hue, making her look somewhat malnourished.
"Lingling, you..."
Axue couldn't bear it. Although they relied on their beautiful bodies to survive in this cannibal world, such coquettish and explicit teasing was too shameless. She believed that even if she degenerated again, she should keep the last bit of self-respect for herself and leave the last piece of pure land in her heart.
"Shh... you idiot, this kid is a fat sheep." Lingling turned her head slightly and whispered to Ashue, with a sly smile in her eyes.
"Fat Sheep?" Axue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the man with a warm smile on the slope in surprise. Indeed, this man was dressed in casual clothes and did not look like he was struggling to survive in apocalypse. Those who didn't know better thought he was a young man from a rich family who came out to travel.
"Didn't you see how he was dressed? Even Boss Hu was not dressed as decently as this man, and he actually brought a dog with him. People like us can't even support ourselves, so who would raise a dog? Hey, he's here, stop being secretive and show this guy our sisters' abilities. Don't wait for him to enter our stronghold. We won't be able to rob him by then."
Lingling stood in the pool with a little fox-like light in her eyes. She saw that the man on the slope had stood up and walked towards her. His beautiful eyes were so charming that they were almost dripping with water. She tried her best to create one bewitching pose after another in the pool.
"Haha, good afternoon, two beauties." The young man slowly walked up to the two girls and looked at them with a faint smile.
"Hi~ How about you, handsome man?" Lingling stood in the pool and waved to the man. Ashue beside her gritted her teeth and finally slowly let go of her hands in front of her, revealing all her assets. She looked at him with a stiff expression, but the two red clouds on her cheeks betrayed her feeling of being nervous about Thomas at this time.
"The beauties have very nice figures." The young man looked at the stiff-limbed A Xue and smiled playfully. He took out a pack of 95 Supreme from his pocket, took one out and lit it in his mouth. He blew out a puff of white smoke and looked at Lingling. He smiled and said, "What's the show?"
Seeing that the other party was actually smoking the 95 Supreme, which was very high-end even before apocalypse, Lingling's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she said with a smile, "Of course it's the kind of performance that my brother wants. You can do whatever you want, but you have to take care of your sisters. They are all students, and the sisters will be very tired from performing later."
"Oh? How should I cherish you then?" The man shrugged, clearly pretending to ask a question he already knew the answer to.
"Brother, you're so bad, making your sister say it out loud!" Lingling cheerfully jumped down from the pool, linking arms with Ashue beside her, and said in a sweet voice, "We both used to be students from prestigious universities, you can see that we are definitely at the level of campus beauties. Although we're not as good as we used to be, we're still quite valuable. If you're interested in one of us, fifty pounds of rice or food of equivalent value will do. If you want to have fun with both of us, that's fine too, and the price will be slightly cheaper, ninety pounds! We guarantee to serve you so well that you'll be on cloud nine. How about that? Quite a bargain, right?"
"Lingling…" Ashue felt a tightness in her heart. Just as she was about to say something, she was pinched hard by Lingling's hand, and the words she was about to say were swallowed back. She could only awkwardly look at the other person.
"Oh? So college students are this expensive now?" The man smiled knowingly but then said in a somewhat narrow-minded way, "In other places, a female white-collar worker in a foreign company only costs five pounds of rice for a night, and fifteen pounds can last a week. Are you sure you didn't misspeak just now?"
"Well… we can also accompany you for a week!" Lingling became anxious. She didn't expect that this fat sheep actually understood the market. With the prices they were currently charging, it was at most half a pound of rice for a night, and that wasn't even guaranteed every day. After all, one must be well-fed to think about lust; if they couldn't even fill their stomachs, who would be thinking about those physically demanding things all day long!
"Haha, I'm not joking with you. I'm not really interested in you, but as long as you answer me a few questions, I can offer you quite a few benefits!" The man waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Wh… what questions?" Lingling immediately felt dejected. She glanced at Ashue, who was even prettier than her, and wondered in her heart if this man found them dirty. That couldn't be, as she had just taken a shower. In the apocalypse, clean women were rare. They had just agreed to temporarily raise their prices to one pound of rice for a night!
"How large is the scale of your survivor gathering place?" The man suddenly asked with a serious expression.
Lingling was taken aback by the sudden change in his demeanor. After swallowing hard, she said, "I… we have over four hundred survivors here, um… it seems like there are only a little over three hundred now. Quite a few people died from illness recently!"
"What's the gender ratio like? Is there any cannibalism?" The man immediately followed up with another question.
"Eat people? How is that possible?" Lingling looked very surprised and shook her head, saying, "More than half of us are women, and the rest are men. Although we can only eat half full every day, I haven't heard anyone say anything about eating people!"
"I see!" The man nodded thoughtfully. Although Lingling was thin as a stick, her ability to say this indicated that the conditions here were relatively good, unlike many places he had passed through where, due to a lack of food, inhumane incidents of cannibalism had occurred, and such situations were not uncommon.
"Do you know where the nearest survivor gathering place is?" the man asked after a moment of contemplation.
"I heard it's over in Jiangcheng. Some say there are about one or two hundred thousand people there, and the government is maintaining it!" Lingling said, recounting everything she knew.
"Then why don't you go?" the man asked, puzzled.
"Go to Jiangcheng? Ha~ don't joke around!" Lingling scoffed, curling her lip. She continued, "Let's not even talk about whether that news is true or not, but do you know how many of us there were at the beginning? I'll tell you, there were over a thousand one hundred people! Most of them died on the way to Jiangcheng. One batch after another kept going, but those who escaped back said that no one had ever heard of anyone making it more than ten kilometers out of here. You know, those monsters don't discriminate when it comes to eating people!"
"Alright, one last question!" The man smiled helplessly and said, "What snacks did you two like to eat the most before?"
"...Teddy bear cookies!"
"...Potato chips!"
The two girls looked at the well-dressed man as if he were a fool, yet they still voiced their answers, inwardly wondering if they had really encountered someone who had lost his mind.
"What are teddy bear cookies? I don't think I have any in my car!" The man awkwardly scratched his head and then waved his hand, saying, "Just come with me; you can take whatever you want!"
Two girls were cuddling together, no longer wearing the unnecessary clothes, and hesitantly followed the man forward. However, before they reached the dirt slope, they heard the man turn around, smiling as he looked them over and said, "Why aren't you putting on your clothes?"
Ashue's face turned red, and she was at a loss for how to respond, while Lingling boldly said, "There aren't even any monsters out here. Besides you, who else can see us? And you've already seen everything, what more can we lose?"
"That's true!" The man nodded and turned to continue walking, thinking to himself that the apocalypse had its benefits; at least the girls were more generous, which indirectly made it a paradise for Dexter's friends!
