Eat again? Was she a pig?
Lin Duoduo complained inwardly.
However, she had to admit that her sister’s assessment of people was truly spot-on—she really was a bit hungry.
Lin Duoduo pulled out a bag of biscuits from the side, munching on them while rubbing her small belly.
If she kept eating like this, how big would her belly get in the future?
Sigh, she was working so hard all for her sister’s sake.
Watching Duoduo start eating, Lin Wanwan nodded in satisfaction.
That was more like it. Since she had used her cheat-like ability, it was impossible not to consume energy; anything else would completely violate the law of conservation of energy.
Lin Wanwan first sorted out the remaining five miscellaneous items: a pillow, a bar of soap, a bottle of shampoo, and two towels—one large and one small.
Yesterday, she had traded for a pillow, and she had still been agonizing over which of them should use it tonight.
Now that she had another one, there was no need to worry about that issue anymore.
As for the remaining four items, they were essentially a complete set tailored for the shower room.
She wondered what kind of job that man named “I Was Bitten by a Rat” held in the real world—was he some kind of bathhouse emperor?
Otherwise, how could he possibly have opened both a shower room and a four-piece toiletries set? It made no sense at all.
She turned her gaze back to the glowing screen of the group chat.
60822/100000.
Over 1,000 more people had died?
Lin Wanwan was in no mood to lament the fragility of life; right now, she particularly wanted to know how they died.
At this time in her previous life, Lin Wanwan had been struggling to survive with Lin Duoduo, having no mind to ponder deeper questions.
But thinking about it now, many things indeed deserved careful reflection.
If someone kept driving without stopping or opening treasure chests, would they die before running out of fuel?
If someone opened a chest and got frozen while stepping out of the car, how did they die exactly? Could just a few seconds kill a person?
There were monsters inside the treasure chests that could kill people, a fact many now knew. So if one didn’t open chests, could they live differently?
At this thought, Lin Wanwan’s eyes lit up.
That’s right!
They didn’t dare to open treasure chests, but she did.
Others didn’t know if a chest held danger, but Lin Duoduo did.
Though this would be hard work for her sister, Lin Wanwan smiled unconscionably.
Beside her, Lin Duoduo once again fixated her gaze on the car windows and the graphene quilt hanging above.
Yet no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find any draft.
Why did she keep feeling a cold breeze blowing over her?
Which villain was plotting against her?
Lin Wanwan glanced through the chat content in the group. Unsure of when it started, the number of active chatterers had increased.
It was no longer just those few hundred people chatting as before.
Lin Wanwan clearly saw many new IDs appearing.
A rough estimate showed about two to three thousand people chatting in the group now. The chat had grown significantly more active, and the speed of the scrolling screen had increased considerably.
Without further hesitation, Lin Wanwan began selecting individuals to trade with.
Toilet paper—trade.
A small bottle of soybean oil—trade.
A packet of salt—trade.
A bottle of vinegar—trade.
Wet wipes—trade.
Toothpaste—trade.
Trade, trade, trade!
As long as it was something Lin Wanwan felt was useful for her and her sister’s daily life, she traded for it all in one breath.
As for the toothpaste not being child-safe toothpaste, Lin Wanwan figured having any to use was already great—why demand a luxury bicycle when a plain walk would do?
A minor regret was that she only managed to trade for toothpaste, not a toothbrush. When the time came, she would just dip a finger in toothpaste and brush directly.
Having finished sweeping up these small items, Lin Wanwan began eyeing the high-value goods.
Among her classifications of valuable items, the one she prized most was a box of fever medicine.
It was currently an extreme cold disaster, and the next would be an extreme heat disaster. As for the disaster after that, she wasn’t sure, because she had kicked the bucket before the third disaster even began.
Without considering a third disaster, the first two were extreme cold and extreme heat, conditions under which people easily caught colds.
Especially a young child like Lin Duoduo, whose physical constitution wasn’t strong.
Any slight change in weather would make her even more vulnerable to illness.
Her demand for medication was huge, to the point where she was willing to get it no matter the cost.
Spring Flowers: What are you planning to trade that cold medicine in your hands for?
In this road survival world, no one knew anyone else. There was no need for Lin Wanwan to be polite; she got straight to the point.
Tea Friend: What do you have?
Spring Flowers: Just state directly what you want. If it’s something I have, I’ll trade with you immediately. Don’t beat around the bush.
Hearing Spring Flowers speak like this, the person with the ID Tea Friend felt a bit bewildered.
Ever since transmigrating into this road survival world yesterday, he had also started opening chests at the first opportunity.
Yet over the past 30-plus hours, he had opened only four chests in total.
The most valuable item was this box of cold medicine; the rest were just food and drink, barely enough to sustain his life.
Now this person named Spring Flowers claimed to give him whatever he wanted, tone brimming with arrogant confidence. Did she really have that many supplies?
When he posted about selling cold medicine in the group chat, quite a few people had sent private messages to him as well.
However, those people either wanted to freeload or tried to exchange cheap items like bread and bottled water for his box of cold medicine.
The values were completely unequal.
They had probably read too many apocalyptic survival novels and ruined their brains, thinking they were the main characters who could trade random trash for precious supplies.
Whenever he encountered such people, he blocked them directly.
A few had also brought valid supplies to trade for the cold medicine, showing genuine sincerity, but the quality of their supplies simply didn’t reach his expectations.
Now that Spring Flowers wanted to trade with him and asked for the whole box of cold medicine right off the bat, he thought for a moment and cautiously named a price he deemed reasonable.
Tea Friend: My friend, you talk big, but I still plan to give you a chance. There are 12 pills in this box of medicine. I want to keep two for backup, and as for the remaining 10 pills, I plan to trade them for some food—good food.
Lin Wanwan waited for a long while, only to find that the other party merely wanted some food. She felt quite helpless.
This person with the ID Tea Friend was truly someone without grand ambitions. Holding such a vital strategic resource, didn’t he know to ask for something more useful?
As for his wish to keep two pills of cold medicine, she also found it reasonable.
No one would give away all their trump cards completely.
Besides, leaving two cold medicine pills for himself was keeping a way out, lest he catch a cold himself and have no medication.
Spring Flowers: Keeping two pills for yourself is reasonable. What do you want for the remaining 10 pills? Say it all in one breath.
Tea Friend: I plan to sell them two pills at a time. Every two pills count as one unit. How many units do you plan to buy?
Spring Flowers: Bundle the remaining 10 pills together. State your demands, okay? Stop lingering over details.
While Lin Wanwan was domineeringly conducting the trade, an off-road vehicle pulled up right next to the graphene fragment.
