For Food, and for One's Goddess

Not only hungry, but also very thirsty.

So she could only muster the courage to come to Bruce's door.

Luckily, she had chatted with Finnegan after Bruce left!

She learned Bruce's name from Finnegan.

Otherwise, she would have been even more embarrassed now.

Jerald was in the same situation.

Without Bruce's presence, he could have held his own with Jamal and Heywood based on his own abilities.

At least for a short time, he wouldn't have to worry about food.

But Bruce's appearance disrupted the original plot.

Making food distribution extremely unfair.

Why?

Do you think the food in such a large hotel is only enough for these survivors to fight over for half an hour??

Bruce went from upstairs to downstairs, and then from downstairs to upstairs.

How could he possibly leave all the food for these people after hunting monsters so hard?

Some fresh, uncontaminated ingredients and meals were all packed away by him using the storage ring he had just obtained.

10 cubic meters could hold quite a lot.

So Jerald and Joanne couldn't find anything to eat.

For food, and for one's goddess!

Jerald could only follow behind Joanne.

Arriving at Bruce's door, Joanne knocked on the door, while Jerald looked around absentmindedly.

The next second!

"Oh my god... oh my god..."

Jerald panicked and sat down on the ground, scared out of his wits.

Because he actually found a huge lizard next door to Bruce's room?

Discovering a hideous and disgusting lizard monster in the dim fluorescent light?

The visual impact...

At this moment, he had completely lost his usual gentlemanly demeanor, almost wetting himself with fear.

"This is..."

Joanne also noticed the lizard monster, but although she was scared too, she wasn't as embarrassed as him.Just leaning against the door frame, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

At that moment, Bruce, with his sleeves rolled up, opened the door.

"Joanne, teacher..."

Bruce called out, then noticed the two's unease, subconsciously glanced at Adam, "Don't be afraid, it's my pet now, it won't harm you."

As Bruce spoke, Adam, who had been startled awake by Jerald, was about to get up, but he quickly lay back down on the ground.

"A pet?"

Hearing Bruce's words and seeing the lizard monster's movements, Joanne was stunned.

She knew Bruce had brought out a huge golden-haired monkey from the clothing store across the street.

But she had no idea he had a lizard monster too!

"Caught it downstairs."

"Oh, I see, you scared me there!"

Jerald breathed a sigh of relief at Bruce's words, quickly stood up, and awkwardly chuckled, "You're quite something, to be able to catch these monsters as pets."

"Heh, just a little trick!" Bruce shrugged, unconcerned. "Do you need something from me?"

"Uh... well..." Bruce opened the door with his sleeves rolled up.

In the candlelight, his handsome face, with distinct features and a well-proportioned body, was clearly visible to Joanne and the others.

This image made Joanne, who was already having trouble speaking, even more embarrassed.

Not only was she a teacher, but also a professor.

Usually, she presented herself with a serious and solemn demeanor.

Now, it was just the first day of the apocalypse.

How could she ask for food from her students in such conditions?

How could she even bring herself to say it?

In the end, Jerald, as a man, spoke first, "It's like this, Bruce!"

"Earlier, didn't you say you were going downstairs to find food? Joanne was very worried about your safety.

Seeing you all covered in blood rushing back, she just wanted to come and check if you were injured or something."

Although Jerald, as the antagonist, had been quite scared by Adam earlier, he was still an outstanding social elite before the apocalypse.

So not only did he speak for Joanne, he also articulated it very well.

First reminding Bruce to go find food, to see if Bruce could remember what he had said before.Then, under the guise of concern, he approached to improve relations.

He completely avoided mentioning their intention to go downstairs to find food first.

It could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Hearing Jerald's words, Joanne also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this Jerald wasn't very likable, his words were indeed quite savvy.

But Bruce wasn't a fool either. Just by the candlelight in the room, he could see the expressions of the two and knew what they were up to.

"Oh? Thank you for your concern, Joanne, teacher."

Bruce remained calm, "We're not injured, just a bit exhausted from the exertion. The blood on us is from those monsters."

"Is that so? That's good..."

"Joanne, teacher, why not... come in and have a seat?"

Bruce didn't let this beautiful teacher feel embarrassed, and directly extended an invitation.

"Come in?" Joanne was initially surprised, then a bit embarrassed, "This... "

"Is it not appropriate? Won't it disturb you?"

She was incredibly hungry now, not knowing how to broach the subject.

Bruce inviting her in now was just what she wanted, but still...

On the first day of the apocalypse, she couldn't swallow her pride; she needed to pretend to decline!

"No, it won't, but..." Bruce chuckled, "Only you, Joanne, teacher, can come in."

"Huh?"

Joanne and Jerald were both stunned.

Jerald caught on, somewhat puzzled.

"Why?"

Only let Joanne in, not himself?

Was he really humiliating himself like this?

"Heh, don't misunderstand!" Bruce glanced at Jerald with a playful look, "It's just that my girlfriend is taking a bath inside, it wouldn't be convenient for you to come in."

This Jerald had some utility value!

So as long as he behaved himself, Bruce didn't mind sparing him until the protagonist met Joanne.

"I see..."

"That explains it... Wait, you mean..."

Hearing this, Joanne suddenly understood, and Jerald saved face and found himself a way out.But then he suddenly realized something.

"Wait, you said your girlfriend is taking a bath?" Jerald was dumbfounded. "Don't you have water cut off here?"

"It's cut off, but this water, I put it in the room before the monsters appeared!" Bruce explained.

"Mineral water? My god, you're actually using mineral water for your girlfriend to bathe? We're all dying of thirst, do you know that??" Jerald exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Bruce looked at him as if he were an idiot, seeming to say, "So what if you're thirsty? What's it to me?"

As Jerald was facing the candlelight, he didn't notice Bruce's expression and continued, "Do you have any spare water here?

Can you give me some? I haven't had anything to drink for almost a day, my throat feels like it's on fire..."

Though he maintained his dignity and disdained to fight other barbarians for food and water, he was, after all, a man, and it was still easy for him to ask others for something to eat.

"Look at me, I almost forgot about this!" Bruce turned around and entered the room. "Joanne, teacher, come in and get some."

Bruce 'suddenly' turned back into the room.

Joanne realized and quickly followed him in.

Seeing Joanne enter the room, Jerald, although very anxious, had already waited for a long time and wasn't in a hurry now.

Moreover, they said his girlfriend was bathing inside!

If he rushed in recklessly, it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't give him water to drink!

But what if they got angry and lashed out at him?

He was just the antagonist, not an idiot. Seeing Bruce coming back from outside with two monsters as pets, how could he possibly touch Bruce's sore spot at this time?

Joanne followed Bruce into the room.

Bruce directly took out two 500-milliliter bottles of mineral water from the drawer and handed them to her.

"I'm really sorry, Joanne, teacher. You know the situation outside, so I can only give you this much for now," Bruce apologized.

Joanne was already unable to save face.

Hearing Bruce's words, she didn't care anymore.

"It's okay, student, I understand. In this situation, you're able to give us two bottles of water, and we're already very grateful," Joanne said, not waiting for Bruce to respond.

She quickly walked to the door and handed a bottle of water to Jerald.
