Clarissa's Handy Use

Anyway, there's plenty of space in my backpack.

Fitting all these items in is not a problem.

And generators, diesel, and gasoline, these energy sources will definitely play a significant role in the future!

Just because there's electricity in the city now doesn't mean it will always be there!

What if this is just a newbie protection period benefit?

Logically, post-apocalypse, it shouldn't take more than half a year for generators to stop working!

The current situation is definitely not normal.

It's always good to be prepared!

"Alright, thank you, and you're welcome at our camp anytime!"

"Our location is at the sports arena, the lodging conditions are very good, with clean beds and a safe activity area!"

"Currently, our team has 20 people, half of them are girls!"

"There are even celebrities among us!"

Slater took the opportunity to promote his camp.

"Got it! If there's nothing else, we'll leave it at that!"

Henry replied indifferently, then completed the trade.

"Are you there?"

Suddenly, Clarissa sent a message.

"Yes? What's up?"

Henry was curious; this girl usually only contacted him at night.

Why was she reaching out during the day today?

Could it be that she also saw the information about selling longbows and wanted to get one?

Clarissa didn't reply, but sent a trade invite right away.

Then, various items were put up.

[Mutant Fertilizer]*30, [Bloodstained Key]*2, [Clean Cloth]*10, [Empty Mineral Water Bottles]*3, [High-Intensity Flashlight]*2, [Storage Batteries]*3!

Before Henry could ask what was going on, she immediately clicked to lock in the trade.

???

"I know you're a good person, all these items are for you!"

"All for me? What about you?"

Henry had a vague feeling that there might be some serious issue!

"I won't need them anymore, a large group of zombies suddenly appeared on campus!"

"Among them, there are zombies crawling on the ground at high speed with long claws, looking very terrifying!"

"A squad of survivors passed by here earlier, and they were easily devoured by this monster!"

"Kitchen knives and the like can't cause it any harm!"

"I'm definitely not going to make it out, I'll eventually be trapped here!"

"Since I won't be using these items anymore, I'm giving them to you, hoping they can be of some use to you!"

"Also... I'm glad I got to know you before I die!"

Clarissa said, sending a photo of herself smiling.

Her smile was bright and sunny.

But after three days of intermittent feeding, her cheeks were noticeably thinner!

This added a touch of poignant delicacy to her appearance.

"This photo is for you, I hope you'll remember me!"

"Remember me, your friend from the apocalypse!"

"You were the first friend I made in this world!"

Clarissa slowly said.

"Crawling zombies?"

Henry asked, frowning.

So far, he had only encountered ordinary zombies.

He had only heard about different types of zombies in chat channels.

"Yes, it looks especially terrifying..."

Then, Clarissa sent a picture.

"I took this while it wasn't paying attention..."

"I saw it with my own eyes as it tore a tall, strong man in half..."

"Be sure to stay far away if you ever see it!"

Shouldn't one's first concern be for oneself?

Normally, Clarissa would hide the fact about this monster and try to get Henry to come rescue her!

That would be the typical way of thinking, right?

This girl, even facing death, is worried about Henry encountering the terrifying monster?

"What a foolish woman!"

Henry looked at the picture.

It was a monster, all muscle, with its head bizarrely situated on its neck.

Its limbs were twisted, crawling on the ground, fingers and toes adorned with long, sharp claws.

Clearly, it was not an easy opponent to handle!

Henry focused on the picture.

Soon, a prompt appeared:

[Crawler, Mutated Type II Zombie, quick and sensitive! Killing it can yield a large amount of Energy Cores!]

[As long as you don't encounter it in narrow spaces and battle it in open areas, your chances of defeating it alone are very high!]

A lot of cores?

A very high chance of winning?

Henry's interest was piqued!

If this creature was completely out of his league, then no matter what Clarissa said, Henry wouldn't challenge such a monster.

Survival is the key!

Henry wouldn't die for a girl he'd only known for three days!

Since this creature wasn't a match for him...

And it carried a large amount of Energy Cores...

It might be worth a try!

Henry took out a 10-liter jug of purified water from his storage space, along with the empty water bottles Clarissa had just traded.

He transferred 500 milliliters of purified water from the large jug.

In the storage space, he could directly separate water and food as long as he had a container.

Henry added a sausage to the bottle of water and placed it in the trade interface for Clarissa.

Then he clicked lock.

Clarissa: "???"

"You don't need to give me water and food anymore..."

"I can't escape, I don't have anything to trade with you..."

"And being trapped here, I'll need food and water every day... you can't afford that..."

Henry smiled helplessly; this woman was indeed foolishly adorable.

"Who said I was giving you these items for free? Don't jump to conclusions, okay?!"

"Of course, there's a cost for providing you with food and water!"

Clarissa: "But... I really don't have anything left to trade with you..."

"I don't have anything valuable on me..."

"You wouldn't..."

Clarissa began, her cheeks suddenly turning red, and continued:

"You wouldn't be asking for those kinds of photos and videos, would you?"

"What are you thinking? Do I look that sleazy?"

"Sorry... I was just saying, don't get mad~"

"I'm not mad, let's talk serious."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"I have two tasks for you. First, while ensuring your own safety, keep an eye on the movements of this monster for me."

"The second task, I still have a few [Precise Longbows] left that I haven't sold yet, you handle selling them."

Henry's thinking was clear.

Knowing the movements of the monster would ensure he could initiate an attack first.

Being ambushed by such a creature on the road was no joke!

Besides, selling weapons really is a waste of time!
