Chapter 21: Sweeping through the entire school's supplies, making a killing!

Maintaining the low, guttural growl rolling in his throat, Su Ze walked calmly through the crowd of zombies with his long spear.

He did not pause for a moment, heading straight for his first target—the school supermarket.

The supermarket's glass doors were already shattered, the shelves were overturned on the ground, and dust was flying everywhere.

Various product packaging bags and debris, seemingly corroded by time, were scattered all over the floor, creating a scene of complete chaos.

Dozens of zombies crowded and wandered in the narrow aisles, and the air was filled with the disgusting stench of rotting food mixed with the smell of corpses.

Su Ze let out a few low growls and swaggered inside, beginning his "stocking up" journey.

He began his "zero-dollar shopping."

【Obtained Bread * 5】

【Obtained 500ml drinking water * 8】

These were routine operations.

Soon, he found some happy water and snacks in the corner of a knocked-over shelf.

He flicked his spear tip, and several cans of red cola and several packs of vacuum-packed ham sausages rolled down.

【Happy Water * 6】

【Quality: Common】

【Effect: Drinking restores a small amount of Stamina.】

【Mouhui Ham Sausage * 4】

【Quality: Common】

【Effect: Can be eaten directly, provides a small amount of satiety.】

In a box in a corner, he even dug out a few intact barrels of instant noodles.

Although there were no conditions to cook for the time being, the temptation of this stuff was absolutely at the nuclear bomb level in the apocalypse.

Su Ze unceremoniously accepted all these "high-end goods."

...

After searching for a long time, he headed straight for the next target—the canteen.

After searching for a while, although most of it was still basic supplies like compressed biscuits and drinking water, Su Ze still found some surprises.

【Ding, Obtained Fresh Eggs * 12】

【Obtained Fresh Broccoli * 3】

Although these things required cooking, their value far exceeded those compressed biscuits.

...

After Su Ze swept up all the supplies, the twelve slots in his backpack were soon declared full.

He found a safe corner, skillfully opened the trade channel, and initiated a private trade with Jiang Yuwan.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Pieces of supplies turned into streams of light and disappeared from his backpack.

He kept the most basic and common supplies such as Wood material, Iron Material, Stone Material, drinking water, compressed biscuits and bread, hemostatic bandages, and antibiotics, because trading them too frequently was a waste of time.

The other slots were left for new loot.

He rushed to the next location without stopping—the Gymnasium.

Apart from those few basic supplies, most of what he saw were inferior quality weapons like 【Rusty Dumbbell Plates】 and 【Bent Tennis Rackets】 that were almost useless, but Su Ze, adhering to the principle that even a mosquito is meat, accepted them all.

Weapons are always hard currency in the apocalypse.

Anything that can kill zombies or protect oneself is a good thing.

Even these inferior products would be enough to make those unarmed survivors grateful if sold to them.

Of course, he still found some common quality weapons, such as baseball bats, gloves, and even short knives, all of which were taken away!

...

On the playground, in addition to some basic food and materials, Su Ze found camping supplies like 【Picnic Pot】 and 【Charcoal】, which were also of common quality but were practical.

After looting the playground, he went to the Complex Building to sweep it.

In the dressing room backstage of the auditorium that could accommodate thousands of people, Su Ze found a glowing card from a locked cabinet.

【Small Horn Card】

【Quality: Common】

【Effect: After use, one message can be forcibly pinned to the top of the Public Channel for one hour.】

"Good stuff."

Su Ze's eyes lit up; this thing was practically tailor-made for his upcoming "business plan."

...

Time passed, and he arrived at the Administration Building.

The Administration Building was where school leaders worked, and Su Ze guessed that he might find something different here.

After searching for many basic supplies, he found an 【intelligence Note】 in the principal's office on the sixth floor;

【intelligence Note: Fourth Floor of the Laboratory Building, Room 407 Chemical Analysis Room, hidden in the interlayer of the exhaust duct inside the No. 3 fume hood, there is a bottle of Primary intelligence Potion.】

Su Ze's breath hitched slightly.

Primary intelligence Potion!

There was actually such a good thing that could directly increase his attributes!

After searching the entire Administration Building, he headed straight for his final destination, the Laboratory Building.

Following the guidance of the intelligence Note, Su Ze came to the Fourth Floor.

The door of the abandoned laboratory was half-open, and it was a mess inside.

Su Ze searched carefully and found the No. 3 fume hood.

He carefully pried it open and reached in to fumble around, soon touching a cold, hard glass test tube.

He took out the test tube and saw that it was filled with a light blue liquid, emitting a dreamy luster in the darkness.

【intelligence Potion】

【Quality: fine】

【Effect: After drinking, permanently increases the player's intelligence attribute by 2 points.】

Su Ze picked up the potion without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

A cool sensation instantly flooded his entire body, and his brain felt as if it had been washed, becoming exceptionally clear, and his thinking speed quickened by a few notches.

【Ding! Your intelligence attribute has permanently increased by 2 points!】

intelligence +2!

【Player: Su Ze】

【Personal Attributes: health 6, Strength 8, intelligence 8, Stamina 8, spirit 6, speed 6】

【basic combat power: 42】

This was a tangible attribute gain; although intelligence could not be directly converted into real combat power, it had a significant improvement on his strategy formulation and adaptability.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to search in the Laboratory Building.

Since the intelligence Note could guide him to the intelligence Potion, perhaps there were other good things here.

He carefully checked every laboratory, and after looting many basic supplies and a few rare materials, he found a bundle wrapped in heavy canvas in an inconspicuous corner of a room storing chemical reagents.

He flicked open the canvas, and a bundle of ropes with a tough luster appeared before his eyes.

【Elastic Rope】

【Quality: fine】

【Introduction: A rope made of special materials with excellent elasticity; perhaps it is a necessary material for manufacturing some kind of device.】

"Elastic Rope!"

Su Ze's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart beat faster uncontrollably.

This was exactly the rare material needed to build the 【serial crossbow box】! With it, that turret that could automatically defend would no longer be just a blueprint on paper!

He put the Elastic Rope into his player backpack.

The trip to the Laboratory Building was an unexpected joy, and the harvest far exceeded expectations.

The abundant supply reserves throughout the school also made Su Ze feel genuinely happy.

He glanced at the time; there was one hour and 15 minutes left until the zombies retreated at six o'clock.

This meant he had been searching for most of the night, having looted almost all the supplies of common quality or higher that were easy to find, and he didn't even know how many supplies he had now.

His body felt deeply exhausted, and even his throat was hoarse from maintaining 【Strange Language】 the whole time.

It was time to return to the Dormitory!

Count the loot and start building the turret!
