Chapter 4: Become One of Us? Then Don't Come! (Please keep reading)
Unlike Song Yubi, who flaunted herself everywhere, Yu Zihan usually focused on fitness and maintaining her vitality. Although she wasn't interested in poor people either, she would still offer a polite smile.
She merely kept them at bay, never demanding anything.
She cherished her reputation.
Her original plan was also to find a rich and powerful man, maintaining her purity, simply to bide her time.
But now, with the apocalypse arriving and terrifying news spreading like wildfire online, the authorities were helpless.
They merely instructed everyone to hide in buildings above the fourth floor and not to enter the Black Mist.
This made her realize that money had become worthless!
Her current goal should be a man with resources and the strength to protect her and help her survive.
And the closest man with a large amount of resources was Lu Zheng.
Seeing that Lu Zheng had accepted her friend request, Yu Zihan glanced nervously at Song Yubi, who was still fuming beside her.
After all, this Lu Zheng was originally Song Yubi's prey.
Although it seemed Lu Zheng wasn't interested in Song Yubi, if Song Yubi found out she had proactively contacted Lu Zheng, she would definitely curse her for betraying their friendship.
Clearing her throat, Yu Zihan feigned dizziness, swaying slightly as she said:
"Yuyu, I'm feeling a bit unwell. I'm going to lie down in my room for a while. You keep thinking of a way, don't worry. So many people like you, Lu Zheng isn't the only one!"
Receiving support from her good friend, Song Yubi's mood improved slightly, and she quickly asked with concern:
"Zihan, are you okay? Go rest quickly. Don't worry, I'll make those scumbags obediently bring the food over."
Yu Zihan made a cheering gesture.
"I believe in you!"
Watching Yu Zihan return to her own bedroom, Song Yubi sighed with emotion.
"Indeed, only girls can help girls!"
Meanwhile, back in her own room, Yu Zihan locked the door behind her, then lay on the bed and sent a voice message in a soft tone:
"Senior Lu Zheng, I saw your message about sheltering girls. You're truly a kind-hearted person!"
Immediately after, she added another one.
"It's just, if there are too many people, Senior, won't your resources be depleted too quickly, and there won't be enough to eat?"
By saying this, she clearly wanted to ascertain how many resources Lu Zheng actually possessed.
Lu Zheng saw through her intentions, directly opened his refrigerator, took a photo, and sent it. He also took photos of instant noodles and other snacks he had just bought, and sent those too.
Seeing so much food, Yu Zihan couldn't help but swallow.
Boneless chicken feet, spicy duck neck, crispy fish—these were all her favorite snacks!
He really had a lot of food.
Immediately, Yu Zihan eagerly said:
"Wow! Senior, you're amazing!"
"You actually have so much to eat, it's making my mouth water!"
"I really want to come to you for refuge, but it's too dangerous outside. I don't dare to go out, I'm so scared."
"Senior, can you send me some supplies?"
Four messages in a row, followed by a selfie.
In the picture, Yu Zihan pitifully stroked her stomach, revealing her slender, fair waist.
On one hand, it showed she was very hungry; on the other, it naturally carried an intention to entice and seduce.
However, Lu Zheng's attitude was very firm.
"No!"
"I have resources, I won't go out and risk it."
"You come to me, become one of us, and I can ensure your survival."
"Let me tell you a little secret: I also have a way to obtain more resources. I don't need to worry about supplies at all."
"Even if I'm alone, I can live for decades!"
This was, of course, a bluff.
If no one came for him to shelter, he wouldn't be able to obtain resource cards, and the things he had could only last for a month.
But these modern girls, only a liar can satisfy them.
Lu Zheng was merely employing a reasonable tactic.
Yu Zihan and Gu Lengyue were two different types of people, so the way to deal with them naturally had to be different.
Looking at the text Lu Zheng sent, Yu Zihan's heart was greatly shaken.
'He actually has a way to get resources, and one person can live for decades. If there were two people, couldn't they also last for ten or twenty years?'
'It doesn't have to be that long. The authorities should be able to organize survival bases soon, and then I can have other options.'
'But what method could he have? Is he deliberately trying to deceive me?!'
Yu Zihan was conflicted internally, but she immediately sent a voice message.
"Senior, I haven't been in a relationship before. If you want me to be your girlfriend, you need to show me your courage. Can you come and pick me up?"
She no longer insisted on Lu Zheng sending the supplies over, because she didn't want to share the supplies with Song Yubi.
If Lu Zheng's supplies were enough for one person to live for thirty years, then after she joined, two people could live for fifteen years.
If Song Yubi was added, that would be three people living for ten years.
She and Song Yubi were just ordinary friends; she didn't want to sacrifice five years of her life for her!
Lu Zheng's residence was very close to the graduate dormitory building, less than a hundred meters away.
Although the monsters in the Black Mist were terrifying, for a distance of a hundred meters, if Lu Zheng protected her, running together should not be a big problem.
And just when she thought Lu Zheng would immediately come over, she saw a message that made her mind go blank.
"Then don't come!"
Yu Zihan also became a bit angry.
This man was truly too cautious; he didn't want to take any risks at all.
She was already willing to be with him, yet he still expected her to run over to him alone!
She suppressed her inner anger and said in a coquettish tone:
"Oh! I'm just a little girl! I need Senior's protection. Senior will definitely be a very reliable boyfriend!"
Lu Zheng still replied very coldly.
"I'm not your boyfriend. If you can come over, you will only be mine."
"I'm not looking for a relationship. In the apocalypse, there's no need for romance."
"I'll give you three days. If you come within three days, I'll shelter you and ensure you have food and drink."
"But after three days, even if you come, I won't let you in."
Yu Zihan was completely dumbfounded.
She hadn't expected that despite her efforts, Lu Zheng would remain so unyielding.
Not only did he make her come by herself, but he also set a time limit for her.
And even with a beauty like her, it wasn't enough; he was still looking for others!
Just as she was feeling angry, she suddenly heard Song Yubi let out a scream in the living room. She quickly rushed out.
Seeing Song Yubi cowering in terror on the sofa, she walked over and picked up Song Yubi's phone, which had fallen onto the carpet.
"What's wrong?"
As she asked, she saw the video open on Song Yubi's phone.
Amidst the hazy Black Mist, a rapidly running figure was suddenly tackled by a Scythe Mantis that had sprung out from an unknown corner.
In the blink of an eye, one of the figure's arms and a leg were torn off.
Accompanied by his shrill screams, he was disemboweled!
The next moment, his corpse was dragged into a denser part of the Black Mist.
Song Yubi stammered:
"That's Li Chao. His drone broke last time, so this time I told him to call me while running to deliver supplies. Just now, I heard his tragic scream, and then someone in the group posted a video of him being eaten by a monster!"
