Watching the scene of beautiful women battling beasts on the screen, Shu Tong Nan waved his hand: "Turn it off~"
No need to watch, these mutated species are at most B-class in strength, with most being C-class. It should be a formidable lineup, but they pose no threat to these women. Their complete annihilation is only a matter of time.
However, it also indirectly shows that this group of women is extremely powerful. With their current combat strength, unless they are equipped with the latest technological weapons and genetically modified zombie warriors developed by the Foundation, they stand no chance in a direct confrontation.
And even with weapons and zombie warriors, it would at most be a mutually destructive fight.
It's not worth it!
But what are brains for?
Shu Tong Nan looked at a figure in the shadows of the corner.
"Idol, they're yours!"
This figure had been standing there all along. Many female technicians were occasionally drawn to him, then blushed and looked away, only to steal another glance...
The man codenamed Idol remained unseen in his entirety, standing with his arms crossed and head bowed, striking a pose.
"No problem, leave it to me~"
...
After leaving the orphanage, Lin Dong ran wildly with a wooden board over his head. The rain was extremely corrosive, having already damaged his sleeves and pant legs, making him look miserable, like a refugee.
A tingling sensation spread across his body. Although there were no other effects, it was uncomfortable nonetheless.
"Damn it, good deeds really don't pay off. If I do another good deed in the future, I'm an idiot!" Lin Dong cursed.
This area was very secluded. Apart from some old factory districts, there was only a village not far away.
Though called a village, it was more like an urban village in structure, with houses packed densely, only two or three meters apart between buildings, making it difficult to drive in and out.
He vaguely remembered, wasn't this place called Yong Village?
In the past, there was a heroic act of righteousness in the village, so it was renamed Yong Village.
Now the snow level had dropped to less than one meter. Lin Dong found a random building and flipped himself inside.
He found an empty room, about 50 square meters. It was unoccupied and quite clean and tidy. Judging by the decor, it seemed to be a woman's room.
After a quick hot shower, he finally lay down with peace of mind.
His phone had no signal, marking a complete farewell to the information age.
The sound of rain pattered, and he quickly fell asleep.
At night, the door suddenly opened. Lin Dong woke up and met eyes with a woman.
The newcomer looked to be in her thirties, still somewhat attractive, and heavily bundled. Only her eyes appeared very indifferent and hollow.
Seeing someone in the room, the woman showed no fear and said calmly: "A cup of water or half a piece of bread."
Lin Dong: ???
Seeing Lin Dong in a daze, the woman entered the room and immediately felt a warm current, and her eyes finally regained some light.
So, she started taking off her clothes.
She was wearing too many layers, and it was quite difficult to remove them.
Lin Dong was speechless. Was she treating him like a john?
"I'm not interested in you, no need to undress."
The woman looked at him suspiciously, but still said: "You don't like me? Then go to the central area, there are a few women there prettier than me."
After speaking, she took out a quilt from the cabinet, spread it on the floor, and began to sleep.
The most intuitive feeling Lin Dong got from the woman was that she had no soul!
It had been so long since the apocalypse, she must have been thoroughly baptized by cruel human nature, left only with a numb desire to live.
"You don't have an underground garage here, yet you can still move around among yourselves?"
The woman still had her eyes closed: "Use ladders."
Lin Dong nodded in understanding. After all, the distance between buildings was too narrow, so it was normal to visit each other by using ladders.
"Tell me about the situation here?"
The woman did not answer.
Lin Dong smiled, flipped his hand, and pulled out a bowl of self-heating hotpot: "Tell me about it, and this will be yours."
The woman frowned and opened her eyes, then her eyes widened suddenly, and she involuntarily swallowed her saliva.
This was, hot food!
For so many days, she had barely survived by selling her body, but all she ate was frozen, rock-hard bread, half a pack of instant noodles, or gritty cooked potatoes.
It had been many days since she had eaten hot food.
Without thinking, the woman snatched the self-heating hotpot, suppressing her excitement to heat it, and watched with anticipation.
"This place is called Yong Village. There are over 200 buildings, mostly self-built houses. As for the living people now, there are probably over 100.
Others either froze or starved to death, or were crushed when their buildings collapsed under the heavy snow.
This is Jin Ye's territory. He is responsible for maintaining order here. On the night the snow first fell, Jin Ye led people to rob all the convenience stores and supermarkets in the village. He controls a lot of supplies.
The men do hard labor daily to exchange for food. The women... those like me who are still somewhat presentable, can rely on their bodies to exchange for a little food from men. Those who are ugly are killed."
Lin Dong raised an eyebrow. This Jin Ye was quite a character. On the first day of the snow, many people wouldn't realize it was the apocalypse, and that rules wouldn't break down so quickly. But this Jin Ye was decisive enough to rob the supermarkets and convenience stores, which shows he's a ruthless person.
"Who is this Jin Ye? In this kind of weather, what kind of hard labor do the men still need to do?"
A hint of fear appeared on the woman's face: "Jin Ye used to be the local gang boss around here. I don't know much about him, only that he has a very strong background.
Jin Ye said that food would eventually run out, so he called on all the men to risk going into the snow to dig tunnels and convert a dozen houses in the central area into indoor farms, planting many crops."
Heh, this Jin Ye even knows how to farm?
After speaking, the woman eagerly began to eat the self-heating hotpot. Her pale face turned red from the heat, but the woman was truly famished, slurping continuously until she drank all the hotpot soup.
"Thank you, my name is Zhong Xiu, you can call me Xiu'er!"
Lin Dong curled his lip. Still calling herself Xiu'er at over 30 years old, that's truly a bit much!
"Go to sleep." He didn't plan to stay here long.
The rain outside gradually subsided, and the woman quickly fell asleep.
At midnight, the rewards refreshed again.
【Beep beep!】
【Today's sign-in reward, options are as follows:】
【1. Infinite toilet paper (solves your worries about wiping after using the restroom)】
【2. Infinite gas masks (can only block airborne viruses)】
【3. Beauty essence】
【4. An e-sports chair that will never cause back pain】
Lin Dong: ...
Why are today's rewards so lame?
I'm invincible now, do I still need to worry about running out of toilet paper?
This gas mask is purely useless. He's already immune to toxins, so he doesn't need a mask.
As for the e-sports chair... even less useful. Isn't a maid-style leather chair more appealing?
So, by comparison, he could only choose 3.
Anyway, he was idle, so getting handsomer wouldn't hurt.
To Lin Dong's surprise, what appeared in the system space was not a bottle of skincare product, but a card.
【Beauty Essence: A magical item that continuously enhances appearance and charm, can be applied externally or taken internally.】
【PS: After the host uses it, the host can perform beauty and skincare on others.】
Ah, this... what does that mean?
Lin Dong scratched his head and used the card. A streak of white light flowed into his abdomen, and then there was nothing else.
"What is this? How do I make others beautiful? There's no specific explanation."
Lin Dong stroked his chin, thinking carefully.
Can be applied externally?
Can also be taken internally?
So it must be a concrete substance.
Essence... essence...
Oh~ So that's it!
