78: Chapter 78 Buying a G

With the Affiliation Scroll in hand, Chen Ze did not put it in his system space but brought it directly into reality.

Mostly because this thing required him to drip blood on it to use it, which he couldn't do inside the system space.

Chen Ze used a small knife to cut his finger, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and dripped them onto the Affiliation Scrolls.

But just as he was about to put them away, Wang Yalan quickly stepped forward and took one.

"Brother Ze, let me use this one!"

Without him knowing when, Wang Yalan had already cut her finger, and while speaking, she had already smeared her blood onto the Affiliation Scroll.

Instantly, the Affiliation Scroll transformed into countless orderly golden lights, slowly merging into both of their bodies.

[Ding! Survivor Wang Yalan has successfully formed an affiliation with you. The other party will enjoy a 10% bonus to your attributes and will never betray you!]

Chen Ze didn't offer any hypocritical pleasantries.

In this apocalypse, human hearts are the hardest to guess. Although Wang Yalan had always shown great loyalty, it was ultimately not as reliable as the system's binding.

He reached out and gently flicked Wang Yalan on the bridge of her nose.

"You girl!"

"Don't overthink it, I just wanted that 10% attribute bonus from you!"

Wang Yalan put her hands behind her back and said with a smile.

"Fine!"

Chen Ze nodded, then, feeling a pang of heartache, bought another contract scroll.

Private Chat Channel.

Shanghai Li Yunlong: "Mister, do you want to come to my Fortress?"

40-year-old man with two kids: "Of course I do, I dream about it, is it really possible?"

Shanghai Li Yunlong: "I won't hide it from you. The reason I saved you was for your heart of the fortress."

"If you are willing to join my Fortress, you must become my affiliate!"

Following that, Chen Ze directly sent the item description of the Affiliation Scroll to the other party.

Duan Linhai had lived for over 40 years. From the moment Chen Ze helped him, he had already been mentally prepared. Even if the other party wanted his life, he wouldn't hesitate.

But upon seeing the words "never betray," he hesitated.

Duan Linhai turned to look at his son and daughter.

The little girl was still covering her eyes tightly, suppressing small sobs from time to time, while his fifteen-year-old son was trying to maintain his composure, but his face was deathly pale.

They were only in their teens or just a few years old. Once they signed this contract, they would be bound by the system's rules for the rest of their lives and could never betray Chen Ze.

He would have no complaints about this shackle being placed on himself, and might even be a bit relieved.

But forcing it onto his two children made him fear that this decision might harm them.

Seeming to notice his father's dilemma, the older son asked.

"Dad, those Ant Swarms were driven away by Li Yunlong, why are you still unhappy?"

Duan Linhai's throat went dry, his chest feeling like it was blocked by a heavy boulder, making him almost unable to breathe.

After a while, he spoke slowly.

"Children, what do you think of Uncle Li Yunlong? If we go to his Fortress, would you be willing?"

"Of course we would!"

The older son said without hesitation.

"I want to go too, that way... that way we won't have to be afraid of zombies or ants anymore!"

The younger sister wiped her tears and said in a childish tone.

"Then, if Uncle Li Yunlong asks you to do something, you must do it. Would you still be willing?"

"Yes, I'm willing!"

This time it was the younger sister who answered crisply, nodding her little head vigorously.

The older son was fifteen, after all; he had long shed the ignorance of childhood and understood much more clearly than his younger sister.

He remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"Uncle Li Yunlong gave us so many survival coins and even lent us the crossbow. He is a good person and won't harm us!"

Looking at the hopeful gaze of his two children, Duan Linhai finally made up his mind.

"Alright, then let's go to Uncle Li Yunlong's Fortress together!"

40-year-old man with two kids: "Big Boss, we are willing to become affiliates!"

Shanghai Li Yunlong: "Good, I will trade the scroll to you right now!"

The process of signing the contract went smoothly. Chen Ze quickly sensed the other party's location, about ten kilometers from the Blockhouse, in the direction where he had first entered the Light Curtain Forest.

"Fatty! Come on, let's go out and pick them up!"

"You got it!"

Fatty agreed readily without even thinking.

But as they walked to the big iron gate of the Blockhouse, he suddenly realized a problem.

Chen Ze now had 41 points in all attributes; he ran like he was flying. How could he possibly keep up? Wouldn't he just be left halfway there again?

"Brother Ze, look, you're at least the strongest player in the whole region, we can't just walk everywhere, right? Plus, there are three people on the uncle's side, we can't possibly carry them back, can we?"

Hearing Fatty say this, Chen Ze paused, realizing it immediately.

That was indeed true.

"So what do you mean?"

"Get a car! Get a good car!"

Fatty rubbed his hands, saying with an expectant look.

"Buying a car requires fuel, that's all survival coins! Why don't we just run there? It's fast and..."

Before Chen Ze could finish, Fatty interrupted him directly.

"Brother! Brother! I'll pay for the gas! I'll pay!"

"You'll pay? Is that appropriate?"

Chen Ze's mouth curled up slightly, a mischievous smile of a successful plot flashing in his eyes, as he looked at him with feigned surprise.

"Appropriate! It's absolutely appropriate! I'll cover it all!"

Fatty patted his chest, full of bravado, afraid that Chen Ze would go back on his word and not buy the car.

"Hahaha!..."

Chen Ze and Wang Yalan couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter.

Cars could be said to be almost useless in this Fortress survival world.

After all, ordinary survivors spent their days guarding their own Fortresses; who would run out to roam around like Chen Ze all the time?

With no one competing and low demand, the prices of vehicles on the market were ridiculously cheap.

A 99% new Mercedes E300 only costs 400 survival coins!

A pre-owned Honda Accord from a female college student for 200 survival coins!

Brand new Mercedes G63, any big bosses interested, grab it quick, only 500 survival coins.

"Holy crap! A Big G!"

Even if Chen Ze didn't know much about cars, he had heard of the Big G.

"A famous car worth millions before the apocalypse, now only worth 500 survival coins?"

This amount of survival coins was a drop in the bucket for him. Chen Ze didn't even think about it and bought it in full!

[Ding! Consumed 500 survival coins, successfully exchanged for a brand new Mercedes G63. The vehicle has been stored in the temporary space!]

Chen Ze took Fatty out of the Blockhouse and, with a thought, released the Big G.

A dazzling white light landed, and a boxy, hardcore off-road vehicle stood quietly on the ground. Its matte black body had rugged lines, four giant off-road tires with deep treads, a raised chassis paired with a heavy-duty original bumper—just looking at it was full of a sense of power.

"Oh my, my dream car! I never expected that I, Wang Dun, would be able to drive a Big G!"

Fatty's eyes lit up immediately; he trotted around the car two or three times, his palms constantly stroking the car body.

"My god! It's even smoother than a little girl's hand, this is amazing!"

"Look at you! Drive! Let's go!"

Chen Ze laughed and scolded.

"You got it! Brother Ze, you sit in the back. Let me handle the rough work of driving!"

As Fatty said this, he slipped into the driver's seat in a flash.

Chen Ze smiled helplessly and turned to look at Wang Yalan.

"Alright, you go back, wait for us to return!"
