Zhang Cheng left a note, then jumped directly from the second floor to the first floor. The note read: I will come again tomorrow.
As for the oatmeal and water thrown downstairs, Zhang Cheng didn't take them. If Chen Shiru had the courage to jump down and retrieve them, then there was nothing Zhang Cheng could do. If she wanted to die, he couldn't stop her. If Chen Shiru really wanted to survive and came to terms with it, willing to be his woman like Tang Ying, he was willing to take care of her. Otherwise, if she still wasn't willing, then Zhang Cheng didn't want to waste more time on her. After all, there were over ten million people in Donghai City. There were plenty of beautiful women. As he said himself, in this apocalyptic world, he had a gun, he had the capability, and he wasn't worried about not having women. There was no need to waste too much time on one woman.
Riding his motorcycle, carrying protein powder and mineral water, he wandered the streets. The sound of the motorcycle's engine attracted more and more zombies. Zhang Cheng found a grain and oil shop. The shop had flour, rice, and oil. Eating ham sausages with instant noodles every day could get tiresome. Zhang Cheng entered the grain and oil shop and carried out a ten-kilogram bag of rice. Although there was a lot of rice left, he didn't take more. The motorcycle had limited space, and carrying too much would be inconvenient. He also took a bag of flour from the store, which could be used to steam buns. Finally, he picked up a barrel of oil.
Passing by a convenience store, the area around this convenience store had many bodies. The bodies were still quite fresh. They might have been residents nearby. After being starved at home for a while, they must have ventured out in search of food. But the zombies on the street turned them into meals instead. Zhang Cheng entered the convenience store. Inside, he found beef sauce, luncheon meat, ham sausages, pickled vegetables, and other side dishes. After filling a whole bag, he also carried two boxes of mineral water and a box of milk. Fortunately, the convenience store had rubber ropes specifically for tying goods, which he used to secure the collected food and water on the motorcycle.
Finally, Zhang Cheng found condoms under the cashier's counter. This saved him a trip to the pharmacy. With his previous experience, this time, Zhang Cheng took all the condoms. However, just as Zhang Cheng was preparing to leave with his items, he suddenly heard a loud car horn. People! And they dared to honk wildly in a city infested with zombies?! Were these people crazy? Zhang Cheng hid inside the convenience store, peeking out. He saw a huge off-road vehicle approaching in the distance. It was an off-road vehicle that even someone who knew nothing about cars could tell was modified. Roll bars, skid plates, front winches, high-power generators, rear trailer interfaces, front and rear tow hooks, differential locks, side bars, front and rear crash bars, portable electric winches... It had everything, almost like a monster.
The off-road vehicle ignored the zombies blocking its way. It crushed them into minced meat and, honking madly, roared past. The zombies were attracted by the noise made by the off-road vehicle and quickly followed it. Shortly after the off-road vehicle took the zombies away, three more off-road vehicles drove onto the street. These three vehicles were also modified but not as 'dominant' as the first. They were a group. There were both men and women. Some of them were dressed like real rich second-generation kids. These three off-road vehicles stopped on the street, in front of the convenience store opposite Zhang Cheng. Then, the men and women got out of the cars and quickly moved food, drinks, wine, and beer from the convenience store into their vehicles.
