Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system
29 Sally's heartfelt confession
Late at night, David lay in bed, holding a book in his hands, quietly reading. Sally was an avid reader, and their home had a collection of many books, which was a good way to pass the time. Although the internet was still working, David didn't feel like going online.
The internet was currently flooded with distress calls and reports about zombie disasters happening all over the place. As someone who had been reborn, David wasn't interested in this information. He had far more knowledge than the average person. As he read, David started to feel a bit tired. He closed the book, set it aside, and prepared to sleep.
"I should find some time to collect some mutated crystals while the storage reward is still multiplied by a hundred thousand," David planned. His plan was to clear out all the zombies in this neighborhood first and then leave. He didn't intend to stay in this neighborhood for long. Soon enough, the city's power system would collapse, and the water supply system wouldn't last much longer.
Living a normal life in these high-rise buildings would be extremely difficult after the power and water supply were cut off. "But this Angus is a troublemaker. I need to deal with him quickly," David thought. If it weren't for not wanting to create a rift between himself and the Arnold couple, David would have gotten rid of Angus a long time ago. He couldn't just tell the Arnold couple that he was reborn and knew in advance that Angus was a bad person.
David pondered his options when suddenly there was a knock at the bedroom door. "David, are you asleep? Can I come in?" It was Sally's voice.
"The door isn't locked, come in," David replied.
Sally pushed the door open, wearing a thin silk nightgown and holding a pillow in her arms.
"What's wrong?" David looked at her and already had a good idea of what Sally wanted.
Sally's face turned as red as a ripe apple. She held the velvet pillow tightly, her gaze drifting and unable to meet David's eyes. "Um, I feel a bit scared sleeping alone. Can I sleep with you?"
David sat up from the bed and walked over to Sally, looking at her seriously. "Are you serious?" If Sally hadn't awakened her powers today, David wouldn't have asked that question.
In this apocalypse, it was quite normal for women with exceptional looks to trade their bodies for the protection of a stronger individual. Women were a resource in this end-of-the-world scenario and had no ability to control their own destiny. Although it was a harsh truth, it was an undeniable fact.
For them, it was better to be by the side of a powerful person than to be captured and enslaved by others, right? David didn't mind having Sally by his side as an eye-catching decoration. However, Sally was currently a potential and limitless thunder-based esper, which in some way qualified her to be seen by David in a different light.
David hoped to develop her into a reliable ally rather than anything else. Sally met David's calm gaze, and at that moment, she felt as if his serene eyes were like an unfathomable vortex in the night sky, and she felt as though she was about to be drawn into it.
Her face flushed red as she gazed deeply into David's eyes, involuntarily taking a step closer. Sally leaned her head against David's chest, and he could feel her quickened breath and rapid heartbeat.
In a soft and tender voice, she said, "David... I like you..." David instantly knew that there was no need for him to say anything more. Although he never let his lower desires dictate his actions, it didn't mean he wasn't a man. He gently embraced her, inhaling the fragrance from her hair and feeling the warmth of her body against his.
Sally seemed to be electrified, as if her strength had been drained away, and she slumped in David's arms. ...
The next morning, David woke up early. As he opened his eyes, he realized that Sally was tightly hugging him from behind. He could feel her warm breath on the back of his neck. He gently removed Sally's hand and slowly sat up in bed, careful not to wake her.
They had been engaged in their activities for nearly two hours last night, so Sally must be exhausted and probably wouldn't be able to get up for a while. Although Sally was still in a deep sleep, a sweet and content smile adorned her face, as if she had dreamt of something wonderful.
David covered her with the blanket and tidied the sheets. As he looked at Sally's delicate and doll-like face, a strange feeling arose in his heart. Without thinking too much, David got dressed and quietly left the room. After freshening up, David didn't rush to have breakfast. He checked the time and estimated that the Arnold couple should already be awake by now.
He walked to the door, opened it, and peered into the hallway. Confirming that there were no zombies in the corridor, David walked to the adjacent door and knocked.
"Who is it? Is it David?" Arnold's voice came from inside the room.
"It's me."
"Just a moment, David." Through the door, David could hear Arnold's hurried footsteps, and soon enough, the door opened.
"Good morning, David," Arnold greeted him.
"How was your sleep last night? Did you find it comfortable?" David asked.
"It was great. We slept really well," Arnold replied.
Without further pleasantries, David went straight to the point. "I came over to talk to you about something important."
As soon as they heard the mention of an important matter, the expressions on Arnold and Sophie's faces turned serious. Arnold said, "David, go ahead. We're here to listen and follow your arrangements."
Sophie looked at David curiously and asked, "What about Sally? She didn't come with you?" Sophie and Arnold tacitly avoided mentioning Angus and Zoe. Yesterday, David had a small conflict with Angus, but after discussing it, they decided to stand by David's side.
After all, David was the one who saved them. David replied, "It's alright, Sally hasn't woken up yet. I'll talk to her later." Pausing for a moment, David continued, "What I want to say is, although we still have an adequate supply of resources for now, no one knows how long this disaster will last. And the situation doesn't seem very optimistic at the moment, so I think we need to conserve our food."
Arnold and Sophie nodded, indicating their agreement. "So, I plan to allocate a fixed amount of supplies every day. What do you think?" David asked.
Arnold quickly responded, "David, we'll follow your lead. These supplies were originally yours, so it's up to you to decide how to distribute them."
David nodded and said, "Good. One of you should go and call Angus and the others. I'll give them some food as well."
A hint of surprise flashed in Arnold and Sophie's eyes. They thought that after yesterday's incident, David would exclude Angus and the others. They didn't expect David to be so generous. "Alright, I'll go and call them," Arnold quickly said.
