I Can See the Hidden Hints In The Apocalyptic World.

Chapter 5: First Night (1)

The speaker was cautious and did not disclose his information.

As soon as the message was sent, several people immediately responded.

“Damn, awesome. I just took a look at the zombies outside and I’m still trembling. I didn’t expect someone to adjust their mentality so quickly and dare to kill zombies.

“Comparison really makes people angry. By the way, do you still need an accessory on your leg?”

“Boss is awesome…”

“Go away. You’re ugly, but you’re dreaming. Let go of that big shot and let me do it. I can cook, wash, and warm the bed. As long as you’re willing to accept me, I’ll do whatever you want.”

The speaker was a girl. She looked quite pretty, judging from the figure and appearance displayed. She was wearing a cool camisole.

The exposed fair skin and the pair of long legs below were especially eye-catching.

If it were before the apocalypse, she would definitely have been a goddess with many suitors around her. But now, she was humbly begging for protection and was even willing to use her body in return.

This was the end of the world. The weak sought protection from the strong and were willing to pay any price, even if it meant living like a dog without dignity.

As for someone like her, she was considered smart. She could understand her situation and adjust her attitude within an hour of the transmigration.

In fact, a lot of people at this point might still be wallowing in what a glorious past they had and how noble their status was or were banking on someone coming to their rescue.

And these people were not destined to live long.

Without wasting time on these meaningless words, Chu Heng directly private messaged the person who wanted to exchange the Crystal Core for a weapon and asked directly.

“Crystal cores for weapons?”

After a while, there was a reply.

“What weapon?”

The answer was short and to the point, and it was clear he didn’t like bullshit.

Chu Heng chuckled. “You’re quite cold!”

“Pipe or screwdriver, take your pick!”

There was silence for a moment before the other man answered, sounding disappointed.

“Nothing else?”

“There’s also a hammer, but you’ll have to add a piece of bread.”

“Where have you landed? You’re in luck. Don’t tell me you’re in a hardware store?”

Chu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze turned cold.

“Oh, cut the crap. Want it or not?”

This time, the other party was even more silent. Just as Chu Heng was about to close the private chat impatiently, the other party sent a reply.

“All right, then. Happy cooperation!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a transaction application appeared in the chat box. The other party had already put up the Crystal Core and bread.

Chu Heng curled his lips and picked a hammer that didn’t look too good. After the transaction was completed, he closed the private chat.

The moment the transaction was completed, a Level 0 Crystal Core and a piece of bread appeared in his space ring.

Now his space ring contained Crystal Core * 2, Bread * 9, Pure Water * 2, Elementary Mutated Fertilizer * 100g, Cash * 510 (Money from the cash register drawer has been withdrawn), Key * 3, Generator * 2, Quiver * 1, Tool Box * 20, Steel Pipe * 45, Screwdriver * 86, Hammer * 32 and a few other miscellaneous items.

As for the bow and the other quiver of arrows, he carried them on his back. At the same time, he carried a fruit knife at his waist.

Chu Heng took out two bags of bread and a bottle of water and prepared to eat.

Ever since he took the life potion, his attributes had increased greatly. At the same time, his appetite had clearly increased. It had only been a while, but he already felt a little hungry.

The food and water in the space ring were probably only enough for two days at most, and that was on the premise that he was only half full.

Of course, Chu Heng was not stupid. It did not matter if he ate less if he did not take action, but if he did, he would definitely have to eat his fill.

As for the ‘weapons’ obtained from the hardware store, most of them had been put on sale in the trading area. Some of them were sold directly for Crystal Cores, while the rest were used to exchange for food.

The lethality of these ‘weapons’ was average. Coupled with the fact that they were not resistant to wear and tear, these ‘rubbish’ would become increasingly worthless in the future.

Therefore, it was necessary and worth it to exchange them for a batch of food while most players were still unarmed.

Besides, he didn’t sell it for a high price. Three pieces of bread or a bottle of water for a hammer, a piece of bread for a screwdriver or a steel pipe. Other things could be negotiated about.

Not only was it not expensive, but he was also very conscientious.

In the beginning, every player would be given nine pieces of bread and three bottles of water as supplies for three days. Even the hammer only cost a day’s worth of food or water.

After all, not everyone was as lucky as him. In fact, most players were unarmed at this time.

On one hand, it was staying full for now, and on the other hand, it was the opportunity to survive. He believed that most people still knew what was more important.

After doing this, Chu Heng did not give up and searched the first and second floors again. He did not expect that he would really find something good this time.

A physical holy sword.

By the name of crowbar.

This discovery really excited him.

Although a crowbar was not as lethal as a fire axe, if Chu Heng had to choose, he would choose a crowbar without hesitation.

Putting everything else aside, the weight and length of the crowbar determined that it was more suitable for close combat with zombies than a fire axe. Although it was slightly less lethal, it was longer and safer.

And its special construction and its design that fitted the principles of leverage allowed it to work wonders in many scenarios.

In the blink of an eye, the sky outside darkened. The players finally welcomed the first night after the apocalypse.

As night fell, Chu Heng carefully turned off all the lights and closed the curtains.

After all, it was still unclear if these zombies were sensitive to light. There was no need to take this risk.

Then, he leaned in front of the window and peered through a gap in the curtains in the moonlight.

Tonight, the moon was bright and there were few stars. The bright moonlight flowed over the land, as if it were covering it with a layer of silver frost.

Under the holy moonlight, countless ferocious zombies dragged their disgusting bodies and wandered aimlessly on the road.

From time to time, the rising and falling roars were mixed with the screams of humans. Then, some zombies would rush towards the source of the sound in an irritable manner.

From the sound of it, it was at least a hundred meters away from them.

It was obvious that under the night sky, these zombies were much more sensitive to sound.

Moreover, according to Chu Heng’s observation, their speed had also increased greatly at night. Under normal circumstances, their speed had increased to about 80% to 90% of that of ordinary people.

In that case, if they were in a berserk state, they might even exceed the attributes of ordinary people.

And these were only level 0 zombies.

It could be imagined that once they reached level 1, those survivors with initial attributes would have no chance of survival in front of them.

At this moment, the regional chat channel was unusually lively.

Some were bragging about how rich and powerful they used to be and how extravagant their lives were.

Some showed off their beauty and sought protection,

There were also people who talked about how they were afraid to kill zombies to gain sympathy.

Some people even started chatting about life and ideals…

It seemed that no one really realized what a cruel, dangerous world they were in.
