As the last spoonful of the dish remained, Yun Zhi Yue tentatively leaned in, intending to taste it. Suddenly, her body was pulled tightly, and the hand holding the spoon was seized, forcing the food into her mouth.
Gag!
Yun Zhi Yue was overwhelmed by the poison she had created, her eyes rolling back as she tried to spit out the contents. Shen Chuan covered her mouth and nose, insisting, "Swallow it, or you'll choke."
With a gulp, she managed to swallow the food. Only then did Shen Chuan release his grip with a cold laugh, watching as Yun Zhi Yue downed water in a frenzy, his mood visibly improving as he returned to eating the normal food on the table.
The teammates around them twitched at the corners of their mouths; it was hard to assess the situation. It seemed that their captain had won, having consumed ninety-five percent of that dish.
Yun Zhi Yue felt speechless—what a petty man. Her mood soured as she picked up her bowl and chopsticks, shamelessly continuing to eat without a hint of guilt for enjoying someone else's cooking.
When the Three Major Bases were united, those zombies had retreated in fear. Now, only humans remained in the supermarket. Yun Zhi Yue was the sole authority at Yun's Supermarket, so every move she made drew attention. Noticing her interactions with Shen Chuan were anything but ordinary, Ling Xue from Wei Shi Base seized the opportunity to speak up.
"Miss Yun seems to have a good relationship with Captain Shen," she remarked.
Yun Zhi Yue replied sarcastically, "Old acquaintances? More like old grudges. Why do you ask?"
Ling Xue sighed with some sentimentality. "Yun's Supermarket is quite extraordinary. I wonder if you could look out for us here? The experience warehouse could significantly enhance our abilities. As long as humanity's strength surpasses that of the zombies, ending this apocalypse won't be just a dream."
However, with a monthly fee of one thousand Crystal Cores and a cost of one hundred per hour, not many could afford it. Could we negotiate on the number of Crystal Cores?
Yun Zhi Yue shook her head firmly. "Don't think that running a store comes without costs. If you don't cover my expenses, how can I restock? In just a few days, everything will be gone. How can I continue my business?"
Ling Xue immediately asked, "Where do you source your supplies?"
Yun Zhi Yue smirked at her inquiry. Ling Xue sighed in response. "I apologize; I spoke out of turn."
Miss Yun's store represented humanity's hope, yet I always find myself wanting more. Not long ago, we received news that zombies have begun appearing at higher levels.
"What! Already at Eighth Level?"
My goodness! That area? There's no way I could handle that.
How much longer can humanity survive like this?
Yun Zhi Yue looked around. This time, Yun's Supermarket was located in a Zombie nest, which meant that only the strongest among the Ability users could enter.
If you think the exchange rate for Crystal Cores is too high, I can offer you a conversion rate. An Eighth Level Zombie's Crystal Core can be exchanged for twenty thousand One Level Crystal Cores, a Seven Level for ten thousand, a Sixth Level for five thousand, and a Five Level for two thousand five hundred. The levels decrease accordingly. If you hunt the stronger ones, you'll definitely come out ahead.
Someone couldn't help but interject, "What kind of deal is that? Killing higher-level zombies could get you killed at any moment. It’s better to take down lower-level Zombies and accumulate slowly."
Yun Zhi Yue disagreed. "Are you not a man? How can you speak such demoralizing words under the rules of passion? Risk and reward are proportional; take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."
The person replied, "It’s more likely that the bicycle will turn to dust."
You Seven Levels can kill Six Levels, and Six Levels can take down Five Levels—what's stopping you? Humanity's hope isn't just me; it's all of you.
