Song Yu glanced at the first-aid kit. There were at least seven or eight rolls of professional medical bandages, as well as some medicines she had never seen before.
【Level 1 Medical Bullet: Restores 50 HP】, 【Level 2 Medical Bullet: Restores 100 HP】, …
These NPCs are truly rich.
No matter which NPC she encountered, they were all rolling in wealth.
It made one want to rob them.
"Thank you." Song Yu said shyly to Shu Yuan, thanking him. Her polite demeanor formed a stark contrast to how she had acted when killing those players earlier.
Those few corpses were still lying on the ground.
However, Shu Yuan didn't see it as a problem, as those players had sought death first.
With the help of the professional medical bandages, Xiao Hei's injuries quickly healed.
"Do you want to rest at my camp for a while?" Shu Yuan looked down at Song Yu and smiled faintly.
"..." How could a man in this world be so handsome!
"Would it be too much trouble for you?" Song Yu played coy, her mind racing. It was almost dinner time, and going to Shu Yuan's camp might allow her and Xiao Hei to get a free meal.
Song Yu had already found a shelter. It was a bit unsatisfactory, but it was advantageous that there were no zombies inside, located in the sewers.
Song Yu had checked beforehand and found no zombie rats or cockroaches.
It was relatively safe.
"Not at all, I really like this little guy."
"Let's go." Shu Yuan extended his hand to Song Yu. His fingers were well-defined, long, and clean, like lustrous white jade.
Admittedly, Shu Yuan had all the makings of a male lead in a romance novel.
However, Song Yu wouldn't foolishly consider herself the female lead.
What kind of decent person writes a female lead who has such a miserable life?
Song Yu muttered to herself as she took Shu Yuan's hand and, with his help, climbed onto the giant tiger's back.
Feeling the soft, fluffy fur under her hand, Song Yu's lips curved upwards unconsciously.
A tiger! She was actually riding a tiger in her lifetime!
This feeling was absolutely wonderful!
The white tiger wasn't fast. In a short while, it carried Song Yu and Shu Yuan back to the camp.
Shu Yuan's camp was a fenced-off forest park; this was one of his camps.
There were many animals in the camp, mostly fierce beasts and birds of prey.
Song Yu followed Shu Yuan into the camp. There were other humans present.
"Yo, Shu Yuan." A short-haired young girl jumped down from a banyan tree and greeted Shu Yuan with a smile. Song Yu saw the title above her head.
【Recycling Merchant - Jing Ming】
It was truly a case of searching high and low without success, only to find what she was looking for unexpectedly when two merchants were gathered together.
While the two were chatting, Song Yu quickly checked the belongings of the two players she had just killed.
Due to limited backpack slots, most players would store their most valuable and numerous items in their slots.
Song Yu was no exception.
This group of players was quite capable; each had five or six backpack slots.
To Song Yu's surprise, one player's backpack contained 207 tubes of Tier 1 Blood and 83 tubes of Tier 2 Blood!
With so much blood, Song Yu could exchange for a considerable amount of supplies from Chen Su.
In addition, there were 2 hand-crank flashlights, 1 baseball bat (+11 Attack Damage), 1 spear (+18 Attack Damage), 6 jam breads (+25 Saturation), 6 bottles of Mineral Water, 3 bottles of vodka (+11 Water, +21 Morale, high chance of addiction), and 2 packs of 40 cigarettes.
Song Yu also saw a four-wheeled sedan without gasoline or keys!
As expected, robbing was the path to riches.
Song Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for the players killed by Shu Yuan.
Even the mutated blood dropped by that Tier 3 zombie had disappeared with the player's death.
However, every loss has its gain.
Although Song Yu lost a lot of supplies, she successfully gained 30 favorability points with Shu Yuan.
How to please this guy was obvious.
After she finished organizing the supplies in her inventory, Jing Ming and Shu Yuan's conversation ended.
Song Yu hadn't intentionally listened, but she had grasped the gist of it.
Shu Yuan had led his animal army to snatch a large batch of supplies from a wholesale market. Jing Ming, acting as a broker, helped him contact other merchants and organizations in Yangliu City to exchange these supplies for what Shu Yuan needed.
With Shu Yuan's large transaction happening, Song Yu wasn't sure if Jing Ming would be interested in her meager offerings, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.
As if sensing Song Yu's thoughts, Jing Ming extended her hand to Song Yu with a bright smile.
"I'm Jing Ming, the Recycling Merchant. If you need anything, feel free to come to me. I'll even trade for a single compressed biscuit or a bottle of water."
"You can do it now."
Jing Ming emphasized.
"Thank you." Song Yu smiled sheepishly and took out some supplies from her backpack.
Not much: weapons like the baseball bat, spear, and dagger; instant noodles, self-heating rice, candy, and compressed biscuits, only one of each. And that bicycle.
To be honest, the bicycle was less practical than running.
As for the vodka and cigarettes in her backpack, and the four-wheeled vehicle, Song Yu didn't plan to sell them to Jing Ming.
It wasn't cost-effective.
Jing Ming's demeanor and speech gave off a very friendly and sincere impression.
However, her profession dictated that she couldn't be a simple person. Song Yu preferred to assume the worst, believing Jing Ming was just like her, putting on a facade for outsiders.
First, let others lower their guard, then strike when they least expect it, and kill them!
Of course, Song Yu usually meant killing them in a literal sense.
Of the NPCs Song Yu had encountered so far, only the ones from the Watcher Organization seemed like normal people. The rest...
Jing Ming examined the supplies Song Yu had presented. Glancing at Song Yu's anxious expression, she gave her a friendly smile.
"Don't be nervous. What do you want to trade for?"
"Water or medicines would be fine."
Upon hearing Song Yu's words, Jing Ming pondered for a moment before answering.
"Both of these are very scarce, you know that, right?"
"I can trade you 10 bottles of water or 1 roll of sterile bandage."
Jing Ming quoted a price. She had initially intended to overcharge a little more.
Song Yu's offerings were decent, but Jing Ming's merchant intuition told her that the girl in front of her must have more valuable items!
"...I'll trade for the bandages."
Jing Ming's price was quite steep.
But when it comes to recycling, one had to be prepared to be overcharged.
As could be seen from the reaction of Chen Su, the Blood Merchant, these NPC merchants had fixed roles and couldn't be easily swayed.
Moreover, NPC merchants were scattered throughout Yangliu City and would even change locations. The travel cost for players to find these NPC merchants to exchange supplies was also a significant issue.
Jing Ming's steep pricing was justified by her confidence.
After completing the transaction with Song Yu, Jing Ming casually rode off on Song Yu's old bicycle and left the park.
Song Yu turned her attention back to Shu Yuan; this was the main event.
