Chapter 15 Meet Sally Again
?Adolf's mansion was left untouched by David. Today is the last day before doomsday arrives, and even if Adolf's body is discovered tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter. Back home, the little puppy is still sound asleep. David sets up a bed for the puppy using some old clothes and places it inside.
The weather is still warm lately, so he's not worried about the puppy getting cold. "Let's give you a name," David says while looking at the puppy with its yellow and black fur, feeling a bit uncertain. However, after observing for a while, he notices that the puppy has more black fur. "Then I'll call you Xiaohei (Little Black)."
The sleeping puppy is unaware that its name has been casually decided, and it continues to sleep peacefully. David checks the time, and it's already past midnight. "I should get some sleep too. There are many things to do tomorrow." David looks at the system panel.
[Task: Doomsday Reserve!]
[Doomsday is imminent. Please collect as many usable resources as possible to the prepared storage space! During this task, all resources you store will receive a 100,000x critical strike. Remaining task time: 3 days, 9 hours, 14 minutes.]
The system provides a precise time.
With the three extra days previously granted as a reward deducted, there are still 9 hours left until the outbreak of doomsday. This means the virus outbreak will likely happen around 9 a.m. tomorrow. Perhaps because he has already experienced it in his previous life, David doesn't feel nervous.
He lies down in his bed and quickly falls into a deep sleep, feeling very peaceful. ... The next day. Before the alarm clock goes off at 8 a.m., David opens his eyes one minute early. He takes out his phone, which hasn't even started ringing yet, and turns off the alarm in advance. After getting up and freshening up, David feeds Xiaohei milk once again, then quickly leaves the house.
David takes a taxi to LoveHome Supermarket once again. Due to limited funds before, David didn't accumulate a large quantity of supplies. But now, with the reward of a 100,000x critical strike extended for three days, he must collect as many resources as possible during this time. LoveHome Supermarket is the first place David chooses. After the virus outbreak, the goods in the supermarket will become ownerless.
Today is the weekend, and the supermarket is crowded with people. This also means that there will be more people turning into zombies later, so strictly speaking, this place is not safe. However, David knows that the combat power of zombies in the initial stage of the virus outbreak is not particularly strong. Moreover, he is quite confident in his own combat abilities at the moment.
Even awakening-level abilities are not necessarily his opponents right now. Plus, having years of understanding about zombies, David is not worried about getting into trouble. Ordinary zombies pose no significant threat to him. Once inside the supermarket, David strolls around aimlessly like an ordinary customer.
Some supermarket staff recognize David and whisper among themselves. "Look, isn't that the guy who bought a lot of things last time?" "Is he the one who believed in the doomsday rumors?"
"He's a good-looking young man, but it's a pity his brain isn't working properly." ... Although they speak quietly, David's hearing has been enhanced, and he hears their conversation clearly. He shakes his head, not bothered by the attention he's receiving.
As David wandered aimlessly, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded behind him. "David, what a coincidence to run into you again." David turned to look and saw Sally, his beautiful neighbor. "Hmm, what a coincidence," David nodded expressionlessly.
In fact, Sally had noticed David wandering in the supermarket long ago. After much consideration, she made up her mind to approach him and strike up a conversation. She always felt indebted to David and couldn't shake off the guilt unless she resolved the matter. Sally, dressed in casual loose-fitting clothes with light makeup, exuded a casual and lazy charm. David noticed that several men passing by cast envious glances at him.
Obviously, a beauty like Sally would attract attention wherever she went. But David didn't feel anything special about it. In his eyes, Sally was no different from the other people in the supermarket—they were all just people on the verge of death.
This supermarket had only one exit, and with a large number of people inside, only a few would likely survive after the virus outbreak. David had no intention of saving anyone, nor would he treat Sally differently because of her beauty. In the previous life, many powerful abilities in the apocalypse would have a group of young and beautiful women serving them. It was a normal occurrence in the apocalypse, where beautiful women were easily obtained resources for the strong. However, David had little interest in such things. He looked down upon men who were controlled by their desires. Men needed self-discipline and self-improvement.
"David, I haven't had a chance to thank you for last time. How about I treat you to lunch later if you're available?" Sally initiated the invitation to David. "No need, I have other things to do."
David decisively refused, his tone somewhat cold. Sally was stunned. It was the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative to invite a man to eat with her. Even when discussing business, she had never stooped so low.
Blessed by the resources of her family, it was always others begging her. She never expected that her first invitation to dine with a man would be rejected like this.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave." David didn't bother with her and intended to confirm the location of the supermarket's warehouse. "You..." Sally choked, not knowing what to say for a moment.
As she watched David turn and leave, Sally felt a complex mix of emotions. "Hmph, what a stingy man. Forget it!" Sally thought that she had offended David before, which led to his reaction.
But upon reflection, she felt that she was in the wrong. "Sigh, it's my fault. Who asked me to see him as a bad person back then?"...
After leaving Sally, David chatted with a random supermarket employee for a few moments. From the employee, he confirmed the location of the supermarket's storage area.
While he was chatting with the employee, he suddenly heard a woman's scream near the supermarket entrance. The sound came from the direction of the entrance, and many people curiously looked over, unaware of what had happened.
David glanced at his watch. It was now 9:12 a.m. "Is it finally happening?"
