Chapter 10: Someone Entered the Convenience Store?

Page 1 of 3

Liu Yang paid no further attention to the so-called celebrity. Instead, he went to the dining table with Tang Mengting and He Yushi, took out the food, and began dividing it up.

One sausage, one bottle of milk, and one piece of bread for each person.

That was their lunch for the day.

With food in such short supply, they had to conserve every bite.

Even so, Tang Mengting and He Yushi wore looks of eager anticipation. When they carefully opened the bread wrappers and took a bite of the soft, fluffy bread, their faces filled with satisfaction.

Delicious! It was simply too delicious!

In the apocalypse, even ordinary bread seemed like a rare delicacy.

The aroma drifted through the air and reached Su Xiao’s nose.

She could not help sniffing.

“Mmm… It smells wonderful!”

She desperately wanted to eat.

“Gurgle, gurgle…”

Her stomach began to rumble uncontrollably.

As a female celebrity, Su Xiao followed a strict diet and meal plan every day. She had recently taken on a new role and was trying to control her weight, so she had been dieting. As a result, she was even hungrier than everyone else, with fewer fat reserves to draw upon.

Now that she could smell the bread, she felt she was about to lose control. It was as though countless ants were biting inside her stomach, causing unbearable pain.

She gazed longingly at the people eating, only to discover that not one of them was paying any attention to her.

A major celebrity had actually been left sitting off to the side, completely ignored.

Su Xiao could not accept such a drastic fall from grace. A wave of grievance welled up inside her, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Liu Yang, however, paid no attention to the celebrity who was quietly shedding tears.

After finishing his meal, he began another simulation.

This was his final simulation attempt of the day.

He had to make good use of it. Once the simulation succeeded, he would go out in search of food. Otherwise, if it failed again, he would be unable to search for food for the rest of the day.

Liu Yang was a cautious man.

Until he had simulated a course of action, he would never leave the villa.

After all, with the system at his side, he would sooner or later rise to the top and become an unparalleled powerhouse.

There were also several beautiful women around him whom he had yet to properly enjoy.

If an accident occurred and he died before reaching his prime, would he not suffer a tremendous loss?

The simulation began.

Liu Yang once again arrived at the villa entrance. He secretly opened the door a crack, then used ice needles to kill five zombies.

After waiting through the fifteen-minute cooldown, he killed five more.

By the time all twenty zombies had been eliminated, forty-five minutes had passed.

Since the simulation could only predict one hour into the future, Liu Yang had just fifteen minutes left. He had to gather the food and return to the villa within that time.

Fortunately, the convenience store was very close to the villa. Under normal circumstances, as long as nothing went wrong, fifteen minutes was more than enough. He would probably not even need five.

Liu Yang dashed out of the villa, keeping his body low as he raced toward the convenience store at full speed.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way, and he entered the store without difficulty.

However, the moment he stepped inside, he realized that something was wrong.

Quite a lot of the food in the convenience store was missing. He and Tang Mengting had already visited the store once before, when the shelves had been fully stocked and no one else had come by. Liu Yang remembered exactly how much they had taken.

Now, a large portion of the food was gone.

That meant other survivors had come to the convenience store.

At the thought, Liu Yang frowned.

“It seems hunger has driven some people to risk coming out in search of food. More and more survivors may visit this store from now on. I have to find a way to take as much as possible.”

He immediately began stuffing food from the shelves into his backpack.

As before, he chose items that were easy to carry and high in calories.

After collecting for a minute, his backpack was packed to the brim. He could barely pull the zipper closed.

Only then did he leave the store.

After walking more than a dozen meters away, he turned around, picked up a stone from the ground, and hurled it at the convenience store window.

Crash!

The sharp sound instantly attracted the zombies in the distance. Three of them ran over and charged into the store.

Only then did Liu Yang return to his villa, satisfied.

With three zombies guarding the store, other survivors might not dare enter to take food.

And dealing with three zombies would not be difficult for him. With Liu Yang’s current strength, he could eliminate them with ease.

In other words, he had increased the difficulty for the other survivors.

“The food in that convenience store belongs to me. If anyone wants to take it, they’ll have to get past those three zombies first!” Liu Yang thought to himself.

After successfully obtaining the food, Liu Yang ended the simulation.

He then began carrying out the plan according to the simulation.

After searching the convenience store and returning to the villa, he emptied the food from his backpack.

When He Yushi and the others saw how much food he had brought out, their eyes lit up.

He Yushi stared at Liu Yang with wide eyes.

“What? Liu Yang, you went out looking for food again? Aren’t there more than a dozen zombies outside? How did you get out?”

“By killing them all, of course,” Liu Yang replied matter-of-factly.

“Killing… killing them? There were more than a dozen zombies!” Tang Mengting and He Yushi stared at him in disbelief.

Even the celebrity, Su Xiao, wore an astonished expression.

“Was it difficult?” Liu Yang said indifferently.

Ignoring the women’s shocked and admiring gazes, he began counting the food.

When he finished, he said to them, “This time, I collected twelve loaves of bread, fifty-eight sausages, and twenty-one packets of dried beef. From now on, you two can each have an extra packet of dried beef with every meal.”

“Wow! We get extra food too? That’s amazing!” He Yushi’s face lit up with delight and surprise.

“Thank you, Liu Yang. You’re so good to us!” Tang Mengting said happily.

In the past, she had been the lofty class monitor who looked down on Liu Yang in every way. But now she realized that he was completely different from the person she had imagined.

He was an exceptionally powerful man with a meticulous mind and a courageous spirit. In the apocalypse, he was undoubtedly an outstanding man.

Her former contempt gradually began to transform into admiration and affection.

From a distance, Su Xiao watched them with a complicated expression.

Her heart continued to struggle.

Did she really have to submit to this lowly security guard?

No.

He was only a security guard!

She was a major celebrity!

But if she continued starving like this, she would eventually die of hunger.

Sigh.

What was she supposed to do?

“Waaah…”

Su Xiao covered her mouth and began sobbing again.
