Chapter 7

刘双儿从黄明手里接过三明治,用力咽了口口水.她拼命想吃掉它,但她犹豫了,等待他的允许.黄明觉得她乖乖的举止既可爱又有趣.他咯咯地笑着说,"去吧,这是给你的.如果你不喜欢,我可以给你买点别的.双儿连忙摆了摆手."不,不,这太完美了!"现在,她想不出还有什么比这个三明治更好的了.她小心翼翼地打开包装,开始吃东西,小心翼翼地咬了一小口."来,喝点水.别噎住,"黄明说着,凭空掏出一瓶牛奶."黄明,你...你有超能力吗?双儿眨了眨美丽的眼睛,从他手中接过了牛奶.她拧开瓶盖,急切地喝了起来."看来你不是完全无头绪,"黄明得意地笑着回答."所以请记住,只要我还活着,你不仅可以每天吃到热饭,还可以获得其他人无法获得的资源.但你必须无条件地服从我.否则..."他指了指那扇加固的金属门,双儿完全明白了他的意思.在享受了热水澡和营养早餐后,她无意很快离开."所以这就是为什么你的地方看起来那么空旷,但你却如此放松.我现在明白了!你放心,只要是我能治的病,我就不会让你死,"双儿自信地说.黄明面无表情地看了她一眼."你不能把它搞定吗?你对我来说就像一份保险单——如果我永远不需要用你,那就最好了.你为什么听起来这么热切?呃.双儿俏皮地伸出舌头,继续吃她的三明治."对了,黄明,我可以回去把我的东西从我的地方拿点吗?""有什么重要的事情吗?""不是真的,只是一些珠宝和衣服."双儿不知道黄明的衣服储备充足,可以让她一年来每天穿不同的衣服."不用.我这里有衣服.你想穿什么我就挑什么,"黄明说.当然,她在家里穿什么最终会符合他的口味,而不是她的口味."好吧,我听你说."就在那一刻,群聊里又一次爆发了活动.王刚第一个开口:"你们听到了吗?1 号楼一片混乱.有人被感染了,现在每个人都锁上了门,太害怕了,不敢出门.谁知道有多少人被感染了?他的朋友马涛补充说:"我对此了解一点.一些白痴下楼找食物,被抓伤了.他回来时表现正常,但不久之后,他感染了其他一些人.现在整栋楼都乱七八糟.李阿姨插话说:"在我们这栋楼里,如果有人敢出去,那就好.但别指望我会让你进来.周婷附和道:"正是!就算我们饿死了,我们也不能冒着被那些怪物感染的风险.她最好的朋友王雪提出了一个担忧:"但如果我们都留在原地,我们最终会吃完饭.这是不可持续的,不是吗?然后,刘贵的结拜兄弟王磊提出了一个大胆的计划:"我建议我们组织一个团队,武装自己,出去搜刮补给.当我们回来时,我们会互相监控.如果有人被感染,我们会一起处理.他的走狗纪大勇补充道:"那些僵尸是没脑子的.如果我们准备得当并共同努力,我们就能做到.那些去的人将平等地分享资源.那些不这样做的人可以忘记它.Wang Gang, who was already starving, raised a critical question: 

"But who's going to lead? Who's willing to go? If there aren't enough people, we'll just get surrounded by zombies." 

As soon as Wang Gang finished speaking, the group chat fell silent. No one wanted to take the risk—not yet, at least. Wang Lei, who was running out of food, wasn't ready to give up. He posted again: 

"I'll pay 10,000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles or a piece of bread. Anything edible, I'll buy it. DM me if you're selling." 

The chat erupted once more. Was this the power of a rich kid's wallet? But how much good would it really do? A naive young man suddenly spoke up: 

"Bro Lei, I've got some food at home. I'll sell you some. How do we trade?" 

Huang Ming was stunned. He couldn't believe someone would trade precious food for worthless money at a time like this. He and Shuang'er exchanged glances, both equally baffled. She bit her lip and asked, 

"Huang Ming, do you think our building will end up like Building 1? If even one person gets infected and it's not handled well, the whole building could be doomed." 

Huang Ming stroked his chin, thinking for a moment before replying, 

"From the looks of it, not yet. These people are too scared to even step into the hallway, let alone go outside for food. They still have some supplies left." 

"Huang Ming, 10,000 yuan for a pack of instant noodles? How much do you think this sandwich and milk I just had would be worth?" Shuang'er looked at the empty sandwich wrapper in her hand, realizing that her breakfast was worth tens of thousands of yuan. "Don't worry. We'll never run out of food. So to me, food doesn't have much value. Just eat and stop overthinking," Huang Ming said dismissively. "But seeing Wang Lei offering such high prices for food is a bad sign. It means people are running low and just barely holding on. Sooner or later, someone's going to take the risk and go out." Huang Ming shrugged. 

"Good. Once they're all gone, the building will be quiet. All their chatter is driving me crazy." 

Shuang'er rolled her eyes at him. 

"You're so mean... Aren't you afraid that if everyone gets infected, it'll just be the two of us left?" 

He snorted. 

"What's wrong with it being just the two of us? In this apocalypse, some people's fates are already sealed. Their deaths are just a matter of time, sooner or later." 

Shuang'er fell into thought, sighing inwardly: 

*"If I hadn't met Huang Ming, I'd still be starving in my room, probably on the verge of passing out by now."* 

With that thought, Shuang'er made up her mind. She decided to stick with Huang Ming and hold onto this lifeline for dear life.
