What Color Sack Do You Like?

"Ze Ge, are you going to the mixer?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't I? 🎈🐧  ☺💛"

"Then I'll tell the class monitor. Everyone in our dorm is going, hehehe..."

Wang Zixin let out a lecherous laugh.

Sun Bin, in the bed next to his, smiled much more elegantly.

But that bastard had a girlfriend, so there was no reason for him to attend a mixer in the first place.

Su Ze did not stay in the dorm for long.

He mainly wanted to inspect the dormitory environment.

What if, after weighing all the options, he chose the school as his "spawn point" for Apocalypse's Arrival?

Things like comfortable beds and bedding could not be lacking.

Don't forget.

After Apocalypse's Arrival, daylight would soon disappear, and temperatures would drop sharply.

Keeping warm was therefore something he needed to consider as well.

Once he confirmed the dorm was livable.

Su Ze quickly left. After exiting the school, he took a taxi to look at apartments.

As a near-first-tier city, housing prices in Suzhou City were not low.

Even a filthy rich guy like Su Ze could not just buy, buy, buy.

Besides, renting was more convenient than buying.

What he needed was to quickly secure the right to use a place, so he could stockpile the supplies he bought inside...

Su Ze spent the entire afternoon running around to prepare the Safe House.

That evening, he arrived at the convenience store earlier than usual because he needed to prepare supplies.

He was fairly experienced with this. After taking over the convenience store, he had gotten to know the suppliers himself.

If he wanted to buy supplies, he could just ask the suppliers directly.

As for exactly what supplies to store, Su Ze did not have any extravagant requirements.

It was nothing more than water and food. He could prepare slightly less water.

After all, according to the previous simulation, obtaining water resources was not difficult in some Safe Zones.

So food was the main priority. Food that could be stored for a long time came first, and ready-to-eat options were good too...

"Come to think of it, official news also appeared during yesterday's simulation..."

Recalling yesterday's simulation, Su Ze rubbed his chin and began to ponder.

Since the authorities could deliver supplies to other Safe Zones more than forty days after Apocalypse's Arrival, it was possible that they had already stabilized the situation.

Only then would they have the capacity to assist others...

But perhaps the situation was not that good.

After all, based on the information Su Ze had gathered...

The Contamination Zones covered a far larger area than the Safe Zones.

Moreover, the Safe Zones were basically surrounded by Contamination Zones. They were like isolated high ground that could only be defended. If one wanted to leave a Safe Zone, one had to pass the test of the Contamination Zone...

Under such an apocalyptic threat, the authorities' operations were bound to be difficult.

"Hey, Little Su, something urgent came up. How about... you cover for me?"

The manager's voice pulled Su Ze from his thoughts.

"Mm..."

After pondering for a moment, Su Ze nodded and agreed for the time being.

There were still over twenty minutes until the shift change, but this manager, whom he employed, was eager to go play mahjong and lied that there was an emergency at home...

As he answered the man, he used his talent to eavesdrop on the man's thoughts.

Apocalypse's Arrival is great.

After the manager left, Su Ze snorted and laughed to himself.

He laughed because watching people like that die in the apocalyptic catastrophe would feel rather satisfying.

Aside from the manager, the other part-timer was a decent person. Unfortunately, Su Ze had no intention of being a saint in the apocalypse...

If he did not become a ruthless bandit in the apocalypse, everyone else ought to count their blessings.

Time passed.

Before long, the night grew deep.

The end of the Simulator's cooldown drew ever closer.

"Ding—"

A new customer entered the convenience store.

Su Ze, who had been idly playing with his phone, looked up at the customer...

"Huh, isn't this the high school student who came to the store yesterday too?"

Su Ze remembered the girl clearly from yesterday. She had been with several other girls then, chatting and laughing together.

Rather than stare directly at her, Su Ze shifted his gaze to the counter's surveillance monitor.

From the monitor, he could see that the girl wore a simple ponytail. Her lower half was clad in a school uniform, while her upper body was wrapped in a thick, solid-colored sweater.

Beneath the sweater, her curves were full and proud.

That was a sight he had not gotten to see yesterday.

"..."

Without saying anything, Su Ze raised his head and continued observing the girl.

Before the shelves.

The girl pressed her pink lips together. Her makeup-free face possessed a pure beauty, while her long, slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, accentuating her clear and immaculate eyes.

At least a nine out of ten.

Su Ze generously gave her a high score in his heart...

Then, belatedly, he remembered the apocalyptic travel companion he had yet to find.

Why hasn't that person left yet...

Just as Su Ze was considering whether to use a gray sack or a black sack to bag up the innocent girl before him.

He suddenly heard her thoughts.

Only then did Su Ze notice the store entrance.

A middle-aged man was lurking at a neither-too-near-nor-too-far distance away, peering into the store with a lecherous expression.

That man is following me, isn't he? S-so scary... What do I do...

So she had entered the store to hide from that strange man behind her.

Su Ze understood now.

She probably had not asked him for help directly because she was not sure whether the middle-aged man outside was actually a pervert...

What should I do...

If only Mom and Dad were still here... sob...

As he continued listening to the girl's thoughts, Su Ze made an unexpected discovery.

It seemed that the girl's parents had passed away not long ago. There was no one else in her family, so even finding someone to pick her up would not be easy.

Asking classmates for help would not work either, because she did not want others to know about the changes in her family.

She could ask a teacher for help or call the police, but she was afraid of troubling others.

And she did not even know whether the middle-aged man outside was truly a pervert...

So she was awkwardly stuck in the store.

All she could do was pretend to browse.

"Phew—"

After eavesdropping on the girl's thoughts, Su Ze immediately stood up.

He walked straight out of the store.

"What the hell are you staring at my girlfriend for? Go home and stare at your own mother!"

Just like that, he drove away the middle-aged man outside.

When he returned to the store, he immediately saw the girl looking at him with sparkling eyes full of gratitude...

So handsome...

Please do not say something so shallow that everyone already knew. Thank you.

"Thank you. That person just now..."

The girl thanked him, her voice trembling slightly. She had probably been badly frightened just now.

"You can sit in the store for a while. If you're still worried, I can walk you home. You live nearby, right?"

Su Ze deliberately glanced at the school uniform she was wearing.

Since she was a day student, she should live nearby...

"Oh... okay. Then I'll sit for a bit."

A little more naive than he had expected, the girl anxiously sat down on the stool behind the counter.

Su Ze did not say anything more.

He continued maintaining his cool, aloof handsome guy persona.

This big brother really is a good person...

Not that good.

This big brother was thinking about what color sack you would like.

I saw this big brother yesterday too. Is he a college student? His profile is so handsome. He must have lots of girlfriends, right...

Heh...

Go ahead and admire this brother's sexy profile.

When he drove that pervert away just now, why did he say... I was his girlfriend...

"Because I needed to completely crush any thoughts he had of doing something bad," Su Ze said without warning.
