Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system-Chapter 185 Fatso
In fact, Monica also knew that the price of one gene fruit for fifty advanced crystals was exorbitant. However, when she thought about the powerful functions of the gene fruit, her heart couldn't help but be tempted. Obtaining such a resource in the midst of the apocalypse would be a great help for her and their team. After calculating her private savings, she had sixty advanced crystals. These were rewards she had earned while hunting zombies with the team. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to purchase another gene fruit.
So Monica gritted her teeth and said, "I'll bring the crystals tomorrow. We'll do a direct exchange."
Seeing the pained expression on Monica's face, David knew she was already drawn to the gene fruit. He nodded and smiled, "Same time tomorrow, I'll be here waiting for you. The gene fruit will be yours then."
Monica nodded and reluctantly took one last look at the abundance of gene fruits before leaving David's base.
As Monica left, Sally silently made her way from the first floor to the greenhouse.
"You seemed to have a good chat with her," Sally's face showed a hint of jealousy as she spoke to David.
Upon realizing that Sally was jealous, David walked up to her and rubbed her head, saying, " is about Business relationships. We have so many gene fruits in the greenhouse that we can't possibly consume them all. It's better to exchange some for crystals. That way, our team's resources will be more substantial."
Sally understood the reasoning behind David's actions, but seeing him interact with other women still stirred up some jealousy within her.
"Alright, no need to be upset. Come and see the gift I've prepared for you," David took Sally's hand and led her to a room on the second floor.
"A gift?" Sally paused for a moment before following David to the corner room. As they reached the door, David gently pushed it open. Suddenly, several flickering candlelights appeared in the middle of the room. On the table were not only red candles but also two plates of steak with pasta and a bottle of red wine. The room was filled with a captivating romantic ambiance under the warm glow of the candles.
"This is the candlelit dinner I prepared for you," David held Sally's hand and walked into the room. During the gap when Monica left, David had prepared all these things. However, before he had a chance to call out to Sally, she had already arrived on her own.
This room had also been transformed by David into a separate space, with a bed and a fur-covered sofa inside. Although the facilities were simple, it was a rare haven of tranquility. As Sally looked at the flickering red candles in front of her, a sudden surge of warmth welled up in her heart.
Since the apocalypse began, Sally hadn't seen such a romantic scene. When this long-lost memory suddenly appeared before her eyes, she looked up at David excitedly, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars.
"Don't just stand there, sit down," David pulled out a chair for Sally and took a seat across from her. He opened the wooden cap of the red wine. The rich aroma filled the room, pouring into the tall wine glasses. The swaying red wine, illuminated by the candlelight, added to the enchanting atmosphere.
"Cheers to your hard work during this period," David raised his wine glass and said to Sally. Sally's fair cheeks instantly turned rosy as she clinked her glass with David's and took a sip. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Sally felt like there was a little deer jumping around in her heart.
Since their last encounter, Sally hadn't spent time alone with David like she did today. The long-lasting post-apocalyptic life had gradually made her forget about such moments of beauty in life. She never expected that David would prepare a candlelit dinner for her at this time.
What woman wouldn't be moved? The jealousy Sally felt because of Monica just now vanished completely. They ate steak, drank wine, and shared laughter, making it impossible to tell from the room that the outside world was in an apocalypse. If others knew that they were here enjoying steak and wine, they would surely be envious.
After a satisfying meal, Sally started feeling a bit tipsy. The blush on her cheeks grew deeper. Looking at David, she had a happy expression on her face. Then she stood up and slowly walked towards David. Illuminated by the soft glow of the lights, Sally's curvaceous and alluring figure became even more captivating. Even in her loose combat outfit, it couldn't hide her natural charm.
"Should we... sleep here tonight?" Sally blushed as she softly spoke to David.
Seeing this shy woman in front of him, a smile appeared on David's lips. Without a word, he scooped up Sally and tossed her onto the bed. A night of silence followed...
Early the next morning, David woke up and looked at Sally, who was still asleep in his arms. He smiled, got up, got dressed, and walked out of the room. The rare sunlight shone through the dilapidated windows of the building. David stretched lazily and prepared to check on the growth of the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse. Just as he stepped into the greenhouse, a chubby figure suddenly flashed past him from the opposite side!
David's eyebrows furrowed instantly, and he swiftly drew his alloy dagger, chasing after the slightly chubby man. Although the man was overweight, he was surprisingly fast. After weaving through several gene fruits, he quickly headed towards the exit on the other side.
But in David's eyes, the man's speed was still too weak. In the blink of an eye, David caught up to him from behind, lifted his foot, and ruthlessly kicked the man in the back.
"Damn it! You went all out!" The slightly chubby man was sent sprawling to the ground by David's kick. He stood up while holding his waist, turned around, and complained to David.
"Huh? A survivor?" Upon hearing the man's words, David immediately deduced his identity. Judging from the aura emanating from him, he was an ordinary person who hadn't awakened any abilities. This puzzled David. How did an ordinary person end up in his base?
Glancing at a piece of broken glass not far away, David immediately understood. It turned out that he hadn't had the chance to upgrade the glass on the second floor of the base to blast-resistant glass. The intruder must have climbed up and removed the glass to enter.
With a cold gaze, David looked at the man and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?" 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
The slightly chubby man continued rubbing his waist, clearly feeling the weight of David's kick. "Just call me Fatso!"
