Infinite condoms

Alanna became angry.

"You! Are you playing with me?!"

Waldo swallowed the fried rice and smiled, saying, "When you come to your senses and follow me, won't you be able to eat whenever you want? But not now."

After saying that, Waldo ignored Alanna, who was trembling with anger, and sat back on the sofa, finishing the fried rice in one go.

The reason why he gave Alanna a bite of fried rice was not out of kindness. He was afraid that she had been hungry for too long and would forget the taste of food.

After enduring several days of hunger, taking a bite of delicious fried rice wouldn't satisfy her hunger but instead make her stomach acid react faster. Just like a drug addict, after the first taste, there would be no second or third, only making them feel worse.

Waldo wanted Alanna to be in such a state.

Alanna looked at Waldo, who was sitting on the sofa and enjoying his meal, and suddenly felt like bursting into tears. This man had no sympathy or compassion for her; he only kept bullying her again and again.

Waldo felt Alanna's gaze and looked back at her. They locked eyes for a moment, but Waldo felt a bit embarrassed.

It wasn't because he was shy about seeing a beautiful woman, it was because he couldn't completely abandon his modern way of thinking and still felt a bit guilty for how he treated Alanna these past few days.

But immediately he admonished himself not to soften up. After all, Waldo was well aware that in this world, only by discarding useless kindness could one survive longer. In a world without order, being soft-hearted was a sign of weakness.

Waldo took out a bottle of mineral water, added some sugar, and fed it to Alanna. Then he sat next to her as the weakened Alanna collapsed into his arms.

Waldo sighed and said, "Dr. Alanna, I have to say, you're really stubborn. Even with such favorable conditions, you're still unwilling to become my teammate."

Alanna just looked at him silently, not saying a word.

Waldo was speechless for a while.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of a question.

"Dr. Alanna, if I let you go, what would you do?"

Alanna still didn't speak, and Waldo couldn't be bothered to talk either.

So there they sat, Waldo on the floor, holding the tightly bound Alanna in his arms, both of them in silent contemplation.

Suddenly, Alanna asked, "What's your name?"

Waldo smiled faintly.

"Waldo. Ear-East Chen, the East of the East is red."

Alanna nodded and then said seriously, "If you let me go, the first thing I'll do is kill you, you scumbag."

Waldo chuckled and teased, "Dr. Alanna, scumbag is not a term that suits me. That's for swindlers who deceive others for money and sex. I can't afford that reputation because, you see, we haven't done anything we shouldn't have. But if you have that idea, I don't mind."

Alanna gritted her teeth.

"You scum!"

"I'll accept that choice of words. But if your first action is to kill me, then I can't let you go."

Waldo moved away from Alanna and lay down on the sofa.

"Take off your clothes. Dr. Alanna, go to sleep! I don't want you to starve to death before I have someone to chat with."

Alanna also lay down on the floor to rest, and upon hearing Waldo's words, she opened her eyes and angrily scolded,

"Just shut up!"

On the third morning.

Waldo woke up and found that Alanna hadn't made a move today. He couldn't tell if she was deeply asleep or had fainted from hunger.

Waldo walked over and gently pinched Alanna's cheek.

"Dr. Alanna, wake up."

He called her several times, but Alanna didn't respond. Waldo started to wonder if she had actually died.

Then he placed his hand near Alanna's nose to feel for breath.

She was still breathing.

Relieved, Waldo let out a sigh.

He leaned closer to Alanna's ear and said, "Dr. Alanna, if you don't wake up, I'll have to give you a full-body examination."

Alanna, pretending to be asleep, couldn't help but open her eyes.

"Get lost."

Waldo chuckled and took out a bottle of mineral water with dissolved glucose. He fed it to her and said, "Dr. Alanna, you better behave while I'm away. Otherwise, if you attract zombies and end up as zombie food, don't blame me."

After drinking the water, Alanna sneered.

"Hmph, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost."

Waldo shrugged.

"Anyway, after you finish drinking the water, please behave. As for the other uses of this item, I assure you I will only use it for its intended purpose."

Alanna replied, "It's boring!"

Undeterred, Waldo continued, "What I meant was, besides the intended purpose, are there any other uses for it? I'll use it for its intended purpose, of course."

Alanna explained, blushing slightly as she glanced at the condom in Waldo's hand.

"The material of the condom is rubber, so it can be used as a bandage or an airbag. Filled with water, it can also serve as a makeshift high-altitude bomb, although it's unlikely to be effective against zombies."

With Alanna's explanation, Waldo began to realize the strategic value of condoms.

Bandages were already scarce medical supplies, so having a substitute would provide an additional layer of security for survival. As for the airbag, Waldo couldn't be sure if there would be adverse weather or terrain in the future.

Considering that crossing a river wouldn't be possible in the short term, based on the lack of records of anyone trading transportation on the trading platform, using a condom to make a makeshift inflatable raft would be a valuable pioneering tool!

With these thoughts in mind, Waldo became satisfied with today's supplies.

He casually put hundreds of condoms on the trading platform and returned to the rooftop of the supermarket, calmly killing zombies.

During his leisure time, Waldo opened the trading platform.

To his surprise, condoms were unexpectedly selling well.

Considering that his exchange conditions were essential supplies, Waldo muttered to himself while eating bread, "Are these people so impulsive that they can forgo even a meal?"

He clicked on the chat channel and finally understood what was happening.

ID 38343: "Guys, there's a flight attendant in Dongyuan Community offering her services in exchange for supplies. She's amazing, almost drained me."
