Quickly returning home, Lin Ke still had lingering fear.

He opened his phone, and various platforms were live-streaming scenes of zombies biting people. Some were indifferent, some were laughing and saying the special effects were well done, and others were fleeing in terror.

There were also those who took advantage of the chaos and started looting. The world's order had already begun to collapse.

Although he had been prepared in advance, Lin Ke was still frightened by this scene. In the evening, we made a simple dinner.

I told Lin Ke, "This is probably our last relatively sumptuous meal. From now on, we can only hide and pretend that no one lives here."

Suddenly, his phone rang. He looked and saw that it was the supplier he had previously asked to purchase from.

"Lin Ke, do you still have the things you bought from me last time?"

"Boss Li, is there something wrong?" Lin Ke asked, pretending that nothing was happening, as I signaled him to do so.

Boss Li sounded anxious. "Here's the thing. Last time, because you needed it urgently, I didn't have any inventory left and gave you everything I had. But now, my parents want to open a supermarket in our hometown, and they're short of supplies. Can you give some of what you have to me? The price is up to you."

Lin Ke pretended to be hesitant. "To be honest, I've already sold that batch of goods. I only asked if you had any inventory because someone else urgently needed it to open a supermarket."

"All of it?!" Boss Li's voice instantly rose by eight degrees.

The next second, his tone changed. "Lin Ke, don't try to fool me. Tell me, did you already know that this day would come?"

Lin Ke continued to pretend to be clueless. "Boss Li, what are you talking about? Has something happened today?"

There was silence on the other end, as if he was really considering whether Lin Ke knew about the zombies.

"Here's the deal. Can I have whatever stock you have left? I'll pay three times, no, four times the price!"

Lin Ke firmly refused, "Sorry, boss, but there's nothing left at all."

After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone, ignoring his furious roar.

I sighed quietly on the side. This was just the beginning.

As expected, Lin Ke started receiving phone calls incessantly. He patiently answered them according to my instructions, using the same excuse to appease the callers.

By the time he finished, his throat was dry.

"Zhao Zhao, is this really effective?"

"I don't know," I lowered my eyelashes. "They will still come looking for us; it's just a matter of time."

There is no humanity in the apocalypse.

That's a universally recognized fact.

I looked out the window. What I need to be most wary of now is not these people, but the criminal organization that extinguished humanity and had no conscience in my previous life.

They are the root of all evil.

The next day, I received a call from Du Yi. His tone was unusually gentle.

"Zhao Zhao, are you at home?"

"What's the matter?"

"Zhao Zhao, I broke up with Gu Xueyao." There was a pause on the other end, as if waiting for my response, but I remained silent.

Du Yi sighed and his voice became somewhat humble. "I realized that the one I love the most is still you, Zhao Zhao. No one in this world treats me better than you. I really regret it, regret not treating you well before. Can you give me a chance to make it up to you?"

I felt a stir in my heart. "How do you want to make it up to me?"

Du Yi was overjoyed. "Zhao Zhao, please don't go out these next few days. Wait for me to come to you, okay? You don't know, the outside world is very dangerous now, a lot of things have happened. Wait for me to come and protect you, alright?"

"Okay."

I agreed readily. "Du Yi, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Good."
