Chapter 52 An Irresistible Deal

Qiao Yunge looked at the items piled up in the corridor, her whole being somewhat dazed.

Her bright, large eyes were filled with astonishment.

"You're... helping us upgrade now?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice; she had thought it wouldn't be fulfilled until she was about to move over, but she hadn't expected...

Su Ze nodded, looking as if it were only natural.

"Since I've agreed, I trust you won't go back on your word."

Having said that, he added indifferently, "In three days, remember to come over yourself. Don't make me come and get you."

Of course it had to be fulfilled now.

Su Ze was calculating in his mind.

If this woman died before moving into his Dormitory,

then the bond effect would go down the drain, wouldn't he suffer a massive loss?

Give the benefits first and upgrade the door to level three.

Combined with those supplies, it would at least ensure her survival rate significantly increased over these three days.

Anyway, he didn't think she could run away; the monk can run, but the temple can't.

Before Qiao Yunge could process this sudden "sincerity," her younger brother behind her, Qiao Yunfeng, had already exploded.

"Sis! Are you crazy?!"

Qiao Yunfeng lunged forward, his face full of disbelief, and the two cousins behind him also looked anxious.

"Just because he's helping us upgrade the door once, you're going to sell yourself?!"

"We have our own Dormitory! Why do we have to be his tenants and live under someone else's roof!"

"Exactly, Sister Yunge! This kind of person..."

The other cousin didn't finish his sentence, but his disgusted expression said it all.

In their eyes,

their sister, the goddess of the Physical Education Department and a dignified campus belle,

how could she become a tenant for a guy who openly recruited "beauties" on the public channel?

How was this different from selling oneself into service in ancient times!

"It's not just one upgrade."

Qiao Yunge interrupted them, her voice a bit raspy.

"It's... it's two upgrades, straight to a Level 3 Gate."

Qiao Yunfeng froze, the words at the tip of his tongue instantly stuck.

"A Level 3 Gate?"

He knew very well what a Level 3 Gate meant.

Its defense and durability would significantly increase their safety during nights when zombies were out!

"That... that's still not okay!"

Qiao Yunfeng bit his lip and shouted with a stiff neck, "At worst, we'll kill zombies ourselves to earn copper coins... then buy materials from him... from his place to upgrade..."

Qiao Yunge bit her lower lip, looking at her brothers' indignant faces, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She took a deep breath and continued.

"He also... lent us a hundred units of Wood material and a hundred units of Iron Material. We can... pay it back later, and there's no interest."

"A hundred units of Wood material and Iron Material?"

This was no small amount; it was practically a life-saving straw that could fully restore the gate's durability several times during a crisis!

Seeing the wavering on their faces, Qiao Yunge didn't pause and continued to throw out even heavier bargaining chips.

"And six weapons of common quality. Plus... food and fresh water for all of us for five days."

Boom!

This time, not just Qiao Yunfeng, but even the two boys behind him were completely stunned.

"Six weapons!"

"Five days of food and water!"

In an apocalypse where even a pack of biscuits could trigger a bloody conflict, they knew better than anyone what this meant!

It meant that for the next five days,

they would completely say goodbye to hunger and could hunt zombies without any worries to accumulate capital!

Qiao Yunfeng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

He looked at Su Ze; although the hostility in his eyes remained, it was no longer as self-righteous as before.

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something more, but Qiao Yunge didn't give him the chance.

She threw down the final and heaviest straw.

"Finally, Su Ze also promised that, provided his own safety is guaranteed, he will help once if our Dormitory encounters an insurmountable problem."

The entire corridor instantly became terrifyingly quiet.

Qiao Yunfeng and his two cousins stood there blankly, as if a freezing spell had been cast on them, their minds completely blank.

The assistance of a powerhouse who possessed massive amounts of supplies and whose strength was seemingly unfathomable...

The value of this could no longer be measured by any materials or food!

This was an extremely precious life-saving opportunity!

"But, Sis..." His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red.

Qiao Yunge gently patted his shoulder, turned her gaze to the two cousins, and her voice softened.

"The girlfriends of you two also live here. With these things, they'll be safer following you."

She looked at her brother again and squeezed out a smile.

"Besides, once I leave, a spot in the Dormitory will open up. Won't that be the perfect chance for you to let the girl you like move in?"

"But... but we still can't sacrifice you, Sis!" Qiao Yunfeng couldn't help but growl.

"It's not a sacrifice."

Qiao Yunge forced a smile, pretending to look forward to it.

"I actually quite want to go to Su Ze's Dormitory. Didn't you see how many people are lining up at his door?"

"Didn't you see that he could even eat instant noodles earlier?"

"Following him, there definitely won't be a lack of supplies, and life will surely be better than here."

She said that, but her heart was full of bitterness.

She certainly didn't want to go.

In her own Dormitory, she was the landlord whose word was law, the backbone of everyone.

But once she became someone else's tenant, after the novice period, her life and death would depend entirely on the other party's whim.

But did she have a choice?

No.

In the face of this man's absolute strength and irresistible benefits, she had no right to refuse.

Her brother and the others finally fell silent.

Reality was cold and cruel.

They were powerless to resist and didn't even have the confidence to refuse this "deal."

After a long while, he looked up, no longer looking at his sister.

Instead, with eyes burning with anger and determination, he stared fixedly at the man not far away who had remained indifferent from start to finish.

"Su Ze!"

He spoke word by word, as if he wanted to crush the name and swallow it.

"If my sister suffers even the slightest grievance over there or gets bullied by you..."

"Just you wait! Even if it costs us our lives, us brothers will definitely make you pay the price!"

Su Ze picked his ear out of boredom.

He had no interest in watching their sibling bond; he simply dropped a pile of food and several common weapons on the ground, then added some more materials.

"Everything is here."

He didn't even look at the boys, only giving Qiao Yunge an instruction.

"Remember to handle that matter with the explosives for me."

After speaking, he turned around and walked toward the stairwell without looking back.

He was in no mood to appreciate this drama of sibling affection.

Now, he had more important things to do.

Dormitory 811 on the Eighth Floor.

What secret was hidden in that place that could cause zombies to besiege it collectively for an entire night?
