Bidding for Black Lychees!

Night fell. It was 2 AM. Jenny still couldn't sleep. Trembling, she huddled in bed, covering her head, looking at the quiet room: "Chris is dead. Sam is dead too!"

Originally, with three people living together, she hadn't felt so terrified. Now, she was all alone. The bedroom, illuminated by the lights, emitted an eerie red glow. The living room was a dark cavern. Jenny felt restless and uneasy, constantly feeling as if a monster would leap out from the darkness. At the same time, the bloody scene of Jake crushing Chris with one hand that afternoon replayed repeatedly in her mind.

"Damn! The men are all dead! What am I going to do?!"

Jenny finally saw the most terrifying side of the apocalypse. She deeply regretted having instigated Chris to confront Jake. That kid Jake was too cunning! He was so strong, yet he had never shown it in the group chat. Jenny began to wonder if the food Jake had was really stored beforehand. Could it be that he robbed others? Jenny's scalp tingled. Jake had so much food; how many homes had he robbed? Would he come for revenge...

Just then, the main door lock made a slight clicking sound. Jenny flinched in terror. Who's trying to open my door in the middle of the night? Could it be Jake?! Jenny almost burst into tears. Jake is here to kill me! Damn! I'll fight you to the death!

Jenny's tough personality kicked in. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the baseball bat by her bed, turned off the light, and fumbled her way to the door. She waited, trembling all over.

The door opened with a barely audible creak. A beam of flashlight illuminated the inside. A man and a woman stood outside the door. Jenny, looking against the light, couldn't see who they were. She held her breath behind the door.

The woman suddenly spoke: "The light's off, they must be asleep. Let's be quiet. We'll kill that bitch, Chris must have scavenged a lot of food!"

The man said nervously: "Little Ginny, killing isn't necessary, is it? Let's just steal some food and go..."

The two were none other than Leo and Ginny. Ginny said in a high-pitched voice: "What are you afraid of! Who's going to know it was you! Chris and that other fitness coach are dead. Only a slutty woman is left. Kill her, then we can search properly. I don't believe Chris didn't rob anyone after he gained an ability!"

You keep saying I kill people! Leo was very resistant: "Let's not kill anyone..." He was only interested in Ginny's beauty, but he wasn't stupid. If he killed someone, Ginny would have blackmail material against him, and he would be even more completely controlled by her later, wouldn't he? Spending this one day with her already made him feel that Ginny wasn't an easy woman to get along with. Moreover, Ginny was too wild in bed, making him deeply suspicious: This woman has so much experience, is she really a decent woman? Leo thought to himself, scratching his crotch. For some reason, it was exceptionally itchy today.

Jenny heard their words, her heart filled with shock and anger. You damned bitches. You keep saying you'll kill me! Did I steal your man?!

Huh? That's right. These two didn't seem familiar with each other. Lock-picking ability was incredibly useful in the apocalypse. Why couldn't she get her hands on this man? As a master of emotional manipulation, she was quite experienced in relationship drama and "stealing" men. The key was how to quickly gain this locksmith's trust...

The two walked into the room, their backs to Jenny. Ginny rolled her eyes and said: "Do you want to know how Chris gained his ability? How about we grab that woman and interrogate her properly..."

Bang! A baseball bat slammed heavily onto her head. Ginny fell to the ground like a log.

Leo was startled and quickly stepped back. He held his kitchen knife high, and his flashlight beam swept over: "Who?!" He saw a woman. It was the one who was always with Chris. Leo looked at Jenny, startled and suspicious. Only then did he understand that he had been ambushed.

Clang. Jenny actively dropped the baseball bat and said: "Master... Big Brother, it's me, I'm Jenny. Don't kill me, I want to cooperate with you!"

Leo was stunned for a moment. The woman dropped her weapon, and the tension in his heart eased considerably. He first kicked the baseball bat aside with his foot, then observed Ginny's injuries. Ginny was finished. Blood flowed everywhere. She wasn't breathing.

Leo was both shocked and angry. He waved his kitchen knife and said: "You killed my woman! What kind of cooperation is that?!"

Jenny gritted her teeth and decisively pulled open her collar, revealing a large expanse of fair skin: "Big Brother, I'm a woman too. I'll follow you."

Holy crap? Leo felt dizzy. Jenny was also a female fitness coach, tall and slender, with a flat stomach and not a trace of excess fat. Three inches below her navel, a purple succubus rune was tattooed, full of temptation against her fair skin. Leo swallowed hard with difficulty.

This is the apocalypse? This is freaking paradise! How could women like her ever look at him before? Now, women were falling for him one after another.

Leo gathered his courage and asked: "How do you want to cooperate?"

Jenny saw Leo's attitude soften. She proactively stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his arm, pressing his arm between her breasts, and said sweetly: "Big Brother, what's your name?"

Leo narrowed his eyes, enjoying the softness. He chuckled: "My humble name is Leo, Leo Liu Dongqiang."

"What a good name!" Jenny rubbed Leo's arm against her body and said softly: "I know how Chris gained his ability!"

Leo's eyes instantly lit up: "Really?" Leo felt an itch in his crotch and scratched it again. Jenny thought Leo was eager for sex, so she felt disdain, but on the surface, she nodded eagerly: "Do you know why Chris targeted Jake today?"

Leo was momentarily stunned: "Who's Jake?"

Jenny said softly: "He's the man who killed Chris today. His group name is [Room and board included]. His name is Jake, and he has a girlfriend named Sophia. She used to work out at my gym."

Leo nodded: "Mm, continue. Why did Chris target Jake?"

Jenny said: "For an ability! I saw Chris eat a black lychee with my own eyes, and then he gained an ability! Jake is seeking to buy black lychees in the group chat. Chris saw it and thought Jake still had one!"

"Black lychees?" Leo remembered the photos Jake posted in the group chat. So that's how it is! Many ability users had posted videos online, but none had revealed how they gained abilities. Leo, like many others, instinctively believed ability users were just lucky, awakening abilities inexplicably. So it was from eating black lychees!

I want an ability too! Leo's heart burned with desire. He said in a deep voice: "Jake still has a black lychee?"

"Yes, but he probably ate it already," Jenny analyzed: "Chris's strength probably increased by about two times compared to before. Jake killed Chris with one hand, so his strength clearly far exceeds Chris's. He must have gained that ability from eating that black lychee. Also, if Jake didn't know the effect of black lychees, he wouldn't be seeking to buy them in the group chat."

Leo said regretfully: "Alas. Then what's the use of saying all this now?"

Idiot! Jenny disdained him in her heart, but on the surface, she said eagerly: "Brother Leo, think about it. Black lychees are so strange. Who would dare eat them normally? What if someone has one but doesn't dare eat it? [Room and board included] seeking to buy them in the group chat isn't it because of that possibility? He can seek to buy them, so we naturally can too!"

"This..." Leo felt a vague sense of unease. How could Jake let him compete for something as important as an ability fruit? But his desire for an ability made him ignore the danger. "But we don't have as much food as Jake. We can't win a bidding war at all!"

Jenny whispered: "We'll deliberately offer a higher price than Jake. If someone contacts us, why would we buy anything? We'll just go to their place and steal it! It's much simpler!"

Leo's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

The two chatted for a while, then threw Ginny's corpse downstairs. They then posted a message in the group chat: "10 packets of instant noodles seeking to buy black lychees." After finishing the important business, the two bastards started making out, and soon rolled onto the bed...
