Chapter 3: Thank you for the gift, Big Brother!
"Thanks to Patrick Star's friend for the sports car! Wishing you great fortune and a prosperous year! You're so generous!"
As Lu Yao went upstairs, he kept an eye on the live stream and noticed the gift notifications. He immediately said, "I was just too excited and didn't thank you right away. It was my first time killing a zombie, so please understand."
He was able to kill the zombie this time mainly because of good luck.
The female zombie wasn't provoked, and he even managed to land a successful blow.
This also proves the law that zombies will die as long as their heads are attacked.
Moreover, he gained quite a lot from this trip: instant noodles, bottled water, and bread that hadn't expired yet—these were exactly what he needed right now.
Long-time viewers in the live stream all know about Lu Yao's situation.
Seeing him running around in fear of zombies yesterday, and now daring to kill zombies with his own hands.
It has to be said that it feels like a pet you've been raising has grown up.
[Patrick Star's friend: The host is angry! Perform well, and I'll give you all my salary as a reward when I get paid this month!]
[One Radish: I now believe the streamer is in the apocalypse. That last move didn't seem like it was done with a prop, and that fruit knife didn't look like a folding knife.]
[Gale force 8: I remain skeptical; this is all an act, and I must say the acting is only so-so.]
[My Favorite Honey Wavy Hair: Still being stubborn? If you were in the apocalypse, you'd probably wet your pants from fear!]
[Gale force 8: What are you yelling about? Dare to come out and fight me one-on-one? Have you ever been slashed? Have you ever tried to slash someone with a knife?]
【…】
Seeing the live stream bustling again, Lu Yao felt that she wasn't so lonely after all.
Having a group of people to chat with is actually quite nice.
Upon reaching the rooftop, he locked the door leading to the stairwell, then quickly walked to a corner and looked down.
The zombies on the street remained motionless, continuing to move slowly as always.
The best news is that none of the little cuties were disturbed.
Lu Yao put the items on the ground and checked them, then explained, "The new brothers may not know, but the supplies in this post-apocalyptic world are fine. The food and water are drinkable, and you won't get infected and turn into a zombie."
"How would I know? Of course, I experimented with it. At first, I had no choice but to run inside the building to find water. I didn't want to die of thirst."
"Therefore, the zombie virus is probably not transmitted through air or water, but rather through blood after being bitten."
While preparing instant noodles for himself, Lu Yao began to explain to the viewers in the live stream.
The instant noodles are unique to this post-apocalyptic world, and they are no different from the instant noodles in the real world.
The only differences are the brand and the place of production.
This instant noodle was produced in a place called City S.
That's right, the city is called City S, a name entirely composed of letters.
According to Lu Yao's guess, there are probably quite a few similar cities.
This packet of instant noodles is braised beef flavored. The familiar taste made Lu Yao take a big slurp, looking completely satisfied.
With a portable gas stove, he doesn't need to worry about food at all. There are plenty of good things in this building, enough to support him alone.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lu Yao began exercising on the rooftop, doing running, sit-ups, and push-ups.
This is an essential lesson he began after arriving in the apocalypse.
He didn't want to die either.
Back in school, I was just putting on an act. After all, everyone's physical condition was about the same. College students are always in a better state than working like oxen, right?
But now?
In the apocalypse, he faced rampaging zombies downstairs.
To survive, you need to have good physical fitness, at least so that you can't be caught by zombies when you're running away, right?
This was his third day of training. Even if there were no results, he was content as long as he felt it was effective.
After that, he started bragging and joking with the audience in the live stream.
He streams 24/7, even when he's sleeping.
Of course, when he goes to the bathroom, the camera angle needs to be changed so that the viewers in the live stream can see the cute girl downstairs.
You can't exactly livestream yourself going to the toilet, can you?
As the sun gradually set, Lu Yao ate a few slices of bread and then crawled into bed early.
With three layers of blankets, there's no need to worry about being cold at night.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a piercing, muffled sound suddenly rang out in the city, completely shattering the tranquility of the night.
Lu Yao immediately woke up and, as he rolled out of bed, grabbed the homemade spear next to him.
He then huddled in a corner with a serious expression, listening to the sound approaching from a distance.
[Patrick Star's friend: Holy crap, I was about to go to sleep, and this sound woke me up! Guys, is that a gunshot?]
[A Radish: I've handled guns abroad, so I can confirm this is a gunshot sound, but it sounds a bit strange; it doesn't sound like the kind of guns I know.]
[My favorite is Honey Sister's Big Waves: Gunshots rang out late at night, no wonder the streamer was scared and ran to the corner, anyone would be terrified.]
[Gale force 8: This part of the plot is good, but I'm going to sleep now. You guys take your time acting out it.]
[Patrick Star's friend: Gunshots are getting closer, which means someone's coming? Are they post-apocalyptic natives? Streamer, you'd better stay away and avoid contact with them for now.]
[A single radish: Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts, especially in this apocalyptic world! Be careful!]
[A radish will be given to the streamer as a gift: 1 Super Rocket!]
[A radish: Live well, don't die. Listen to advice and eat your fill. We don't want our virtual pets to just kick the bucket like this.]
【…】
While remaining vigilant, Lu Yao also glanced at his own live stream.
His eyes lit up when he saw the rocket gift that suddenly rose into the sky.
He had watched Douyu's live streams before and knew the value of some of the gifts; this Super Rocket was worth two thousand yuan.
That's twenty points!
"Thanks to Brother Radish for the super hot item! You're a lifesaver!"
Lu Yao quickly said, "The situation is critical right now, I'll express my gratitude later. I need to figure out the situation first. Brothers, just keep an eye on things. I'll try to say as little as possible from now on. Watch me demonstrate how to survive in the apocalypse!"
Gunshots were getting closer and closer, and it sounded like they were accompanied by the roar of cars.
The zombies downstairs have been completely alerted.
Even the zombies in the surrounding buildings went berserk, rushing madly toward the source of the sound.
Lu Yao looked in the direction the zombies had left and murmured softly, "This is a chance to go downstairs and loot supplies, but we still have to wait. The person who fired the shots is coming in a car. Look in that direction, we can already see the headlights..."
