The woman subconsciously touched the diamond ring on her hand. When she looked up, her eyes were already filled with tears. "Can I still redeem it?"

Lin Wanwan could see that she was reluctant to let go, not because of the high value of the diamond ring, but because it was a wedding ring and her only thought.

"Sorry, can't."

No matter how much sympathy you feel, there are several people watching nearby. If you help one, countless others will come asking for help.

Everyone must abide by the rules of this game. She knew that if she didn't, the consequences would be dire, even though the system didn't say so.

She is now working honestly and diligently to make money, which will benefit more people, so it is better not to be soft-hearted easily.

Someone next to her advised her, "Change it, staying alive is the most important thing."

The other party also showed the mark on his ring finger.

The woman looked at the fragrant food in the dining car, tears streaming down her face. She took off the ring and kissed it, as if saying her final goodbye.

Then he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and placed the ring on the exchange machine.

Lin Wanwan also felt sad at the moment. Looking at the diamond ring she had just put on last night, she felt complicated and was glad for her good luck.

"Ding, hello, Li Li, the gold coins you can exchange are 50 gold coins, do you want to exchange?"

"whether"

The woman named Li Li clicked "Yes" with shaking hands.

"Li Li, your gold coin balance is 50 gold coins."

Lin Wanwan smiled at her, "What do you want to buy? We just added three new staple foods today."

The woman hesitated for a moment and bought a cup of warm water and a steamed bun first.

Rice and multi-grain steamed buns are 1 gold coin, and stuffed flower rolls are 2 gold coins. There are meat and vegetables inside, and they smell very delicious.

The woman took the food and walked aside. She did not wolf it down as she had imagined, but finished it very gracefully. She must be a well-educated person.

“Is there any food that can be stored for a long time?”

Everyone looked at Lin Wanwan expectantly. The weather was too cold, so the food didn’t spoil easily, but the steamed buns became hard and could not be chewed.

"Not at the moment, but this steamed bun will only get colder. If you tie the bag tightly, it won't get hard."

Everyone's eyes lit up. That would be great. After all, food that can be stored for a long time is expensive.

"Okay, then I want 40 steamed buns and 8 bottles of water."

For her, eating pickles was a luxury. She had salt and other seasonings at home, so just dipping anything in them was better than spending money to buy them.

Others did the same and bought steamed buns.

Lin Wanwan wrapped them in a paper bag and reminded them, "Just seal it when you're not eating it."

"thank you boss."

A few people looked at the time on their wrists and it was almost time, so they discussed the route back and decided to send the things back first.

Lin Wanwan chatted with the system: "Don't you have any tasks or anything? I heard from my colleagues before that in the apocalyptic novels, the protagonist had to complete tasks to get rewards."

System: "Yes, host, but you are in the initial stage now, and the turnover is too low."

Lin Wanwan made herself a cup of instant coffee and sighed as she drank it: "The turnover is indeed a bit low, but it's hard to meet people. How about going to the base?"

"It's all right, host. Just follow your own wishes."

"There are too few types of food. The big guys in the base don't like these staple foods."

Even she herself was tired of eating it and wanted to eat fruits, vegetables, and meat!

The system said: "Sign in every day to unlock it. There may be unexpected things in the future."

Well, let's look forward to it.

Seeing that they had been discussing for a long time without any conclusion, Lin Wanwan stuck her head out and said, "Your time is almost up. You will be asked to leave when the time is up."

Several people looked at each other and checked the countdown on their bodies. "Okay, we'll leave right away."

As it was quite close to the residential area and there were so many zombies, they couldn't come to a conclusion and finally voted by raising their hands.

Lin Wanwan asked: "Is your place far away? Are there many people who lack food?"

A few of them looked at each other, hope in their eyes, "The place is not far away, we are the only ones in our building, I don't know about the people in other buildings."

"Then I'll give you a ride. It's safe within four meters around the dining car. I'll drive slowly so you can dig up some crystal cores."

"Great!"

"thank you boss!"

"You are so nice, boss."

Several people put the steamed bun bags on the food cart, picked up the kitchen knives and baseball bats on the ground, stood around the food cart, and quickly chopped down the zombies they passed by and dug out the crystal cores.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that as long as they stood within a safe range, the dirty blood would not splash on their bodies.

After walking a short distance, everyone had harvested three or four crystal cores. They were extremely happy and full of energy, so they decided to work together in pairs.

The hawking sounds seemed very abrupt in the silent end of the world. Before they even reached the gate of the community, the residents upstairs were already looking out of the windows.

The constantly playing sounds and the surrounding situation allowed them to see clearly that the people around the car were acquaintances in their community, and the zombies did not seem to dare to attack them.

"Baozi?! I heard someone selling buns!" The woman curled up in the quilt suddenly sat up and said to her husband.

The two listened carefully and realized it was true, not an illusion.

"But we don't have cash." The man was a little annoyed. The money was all in his phone. Who still uses cash nowadays?

The woman felt a little frustrated for a moment, wondering how could she have forgotten about this.

Hunger hit me, I held my stomach which was aching from hunger, and thought of an idea, "How about we trade the jewelry?"

Those things should be fine.

"It can only be this way."

The two of them quickly put on thick clothes and went to look for all their valuables, fearing that the food cart downstairs had left.

They were small-town self-employed people with average financial conditions. After they got married, they pooled the money of three generations of two families to buy a house in Shanghai. They didn't dare to spend money lavishly and never bought luxury goods. They only bought small gold beads as a reward for themselves on their birthdays or Chinese New Year. Over the years, they saved a small jar of gold beads.

The woman took out a small transparent jar, shook it, and said with emotion: "I am a vulgar person. I like yellow and white things. At that time, I was thinking about antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. I never thought that one day I would really use these things."

"Yes." The man sighed, "Rats like us are the pride of our parents, and the villagers also think we have a bright future. But in fact, only we know that we are just pot-cleaning cloths in Langlang Mountain. We have accumulated this little bit over the years, and we don't know how much life we ​​can get in this doomsday."

The woman's eyes were sore, and she leaned over to hug her husband. "Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is beyond human control. How long we can live is up to fate. Fortunately, we are still alive now, so we can't be discouraged."

Being together as two people is the greatest happiness. Let’s talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow and fill your stomach today.
