Zhou Ming's eyes were locked on the avatar of the person who sent him the message, and the voice and appearance of Fruit Xishi emerged in his mind.
Fruit Xi Tzu,
Her real name is Liu Qiang, and she is the proprietress of a fruit shop downstairs from the apartment.
Zhou Ming was not sure about her age, about thirty years old.
On weekdays,
Liu Qiang prefers to wear a black mask.
Perhaps it is to cover up the strong smell when handling fruits and vegetables.
Or for other reasons,
In short,
This outfit,
The voluptuous makeup on her originally noble red and phoenix eyes made her look even more alluring.
The last time Zhou Ming saw her,
It was yesterday,
She wore a slim-fitting mid-length black trench coat with large lapels.
The high-tension gray stockings wrap the slender legs under the slender waist. Even if you just look at it with the naked eye, you can feel the smooth and smooth texture of the delicate and silky product itself.
This outfit makes her not look like the proprietress of a fruit shop, but adds a bit of cool and noble temperament, even a bit of model style.
At this moment,
This glamorous beauty is sitting peacefully on her sofa, her eyes locked on the pink mobile phone in her hand, as if she is looking forward to a text message from someone.
Sitting next to her was a thin, middle-aged man wearing pajamas and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. It was her husband Yu Jiang.
Seeing her calm expression, Yu Jiang finally couldn't help but asked:
"How's it going? Did that guy reply to your message?"
Liu Qiang shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
Although she was mentally prepared to be rejected, she still felt a little disappointed when she saw Zhou Ming didn't reply after being hungry all day.
I was originally the proprietress of a fruit shop,
At least in the short term, the couple can be said to have no worries about food.
But it’s better to die than die,
In line with the principle of running a fruit store that "there will be no loss after selling to the customer", she was not aware of the abnormality three days ago at all. She thought she was the God of Wealth, and in half an hour, she lost several days' worth of fruit. The fruit is sold out.
Just as she secretly rejoiced,
The roaring explosions outside the door frightened her out of her wits.
Liu Qiang was stunned for a long time until she saw customers running around.
She suddenly realized that the end had broken out.
then,
She tried her best to recycle the fruits she had previously sold. However, in this post-apocalyptic era, when food resources are in short supply and everyone knows, how can she easily do so?
as expected,
She sent dozens of messages, promising to buy back the fruits she had previously sold at ten times the value, but one day passed and still no one responded to her.
now,
Liu Qiang pinned her last expectations on a young man named Zhou Ming. He had a deep memory of this sunny young man.
because,
Every time Zhou Ming visits her shop, he buys a large amount of fruit, and treats others politely, thoughtfully, and elegantly, giving people a feeling of being easy to talk to.
so,
Liu Qiang just thought about buying some fruit back from him, even one or two apples. She was really desperate now.
"Why..."
His wife's sigh echoed in Yu Jiang's ears, causing an unknown fire to ignite in his heart. .
Originally, he was prepared to go hungry today.
But suddenly I heard about Zhou Ming’s situation from my wife,
I felt a little more happy for no reason.
Yu Jiang thought to himself.
How could Zhou Ming, a helpless ordinary migrant worker who had just come out of society, really refuse the goddess's soft words? Moreover, according to his wife, the last batch of fruits he purchased was enough for him to last for more than half a month, and they could share a little bit among them. Not too much.
Thinking of that batch of food,
Jiang Yu couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth, feeling uncontrollable greed in his heart.
He imagined with great anticipation that once he got Zhou Ming's address, he would be able to snatch all the fruits from his hand in one go.
However,
What surprised him was,
That boy Zhou Ming didn't respond for a long time.
And when I think of Zhou Ming feasting and feasting there,
But here I am suffering from hunger,
Yu Jiang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and slapped his palm on the glass coffee table in front of him.
"Damn brat, sooner or later I'm going to make you look good."
Along with the angry curses, the dull wails from the zombies outside the door also sounded.
When that terrifying sound suddenly sounded,
His expression froze instantly, and his horrified eyes unconsciously turned to the door. Liu Qiang was also panicking in her heart, and she wanted to scold her husband.
'ding dong'
The phone vibrated in her hand, her lips moved, and finally she turned her attention to the screen.
"Of course I have the fruit, but what can the landlady give me in exchange?"
Zhou Ming's profile picture flashed on the screen, and Liu Qiang's eyes lit up. Her jade fingers painted with bright red nail polish were like flying butterflies on the keyboard, and she quickly typed a line of words.
"I have money. No matter how much you need, as long as you can give me fruit, it doesn't matter how much."
the other side,
Zhou Ming caught a glimpse of the message from Liu Qiang, and responded with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
"If the landlady only wants to exchange money, then I will have to taste these fruits alone."
Sent.
He got up and walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took a photo and sent it with a sentence.
"There aren't many fruits left. If the boss lady doesn't think about it earlier, I'll probably eat them all in less than a day."
After completing this action, he returned to the sofa and locked his eyes on the mobile phone on the table, knowing full well that at this critical moment, Liu Qiang would never let go of his last life-saving straw easily.
as expected,
In just a few seconds,
The phone rang again, this time it was a message from Liu Qiang.
"Then what do you want me to give you in exchange?"
Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to answer her question, he knew the system would take action.
"A strong willingness to exchange was detected."
"Analyzing target data..."

"Desert Eagle adds one magazine? And the strength attribute is +1 again?"
Zhou Ming felt ecstatic in his heart.
Before that,
The expanded storage space allowed him to eliminate the anxiety of exposing his food stash.
And now,
This Desert Eagle,
Let him feel calm again.
When the apocalypse comes, owning a gun undoubtedly adds more possibilities to survival.
Zhou Ming eagerly scanned the translucent panel and gradually moved his focus to the column of task requirements.
"Exchange of private items?"
His smile froze instantly, and he subconsciously touched his chin with his right hand. He thought quietly for a while, and the picture in his mind was fixed on those slender and slightly hazy stockings legs.
then,
He typed a line of text on his phone and sent it.
"The pair you wore yesterday were gray."
