What is the price in Chapter 10?

Su Yanyue lowered her head, not daring to meet her sister's gaze: "You have a very high fever, and there is no medicine at home... I had no choice but to find Zhou Yan."

"What is the price?" Su Yanqiu gently pinched her younger sister's little face.

At this, Su Yanyue was truly ashamed beyond words.

She stammered: "Well... I'll just follow him from now on..."

Su Yanqiu stared at her sister seriously.

"It's quite simple for us to survive, but the things we would have to sacrifice are things neither of us can accept.

Zhou Yan is what one could call a perfect dependence...

But you are not alone..."

"Oh! Don't worry! I won't abandon you!" Su Yanyue shook her sister's arm.

Su Yanqiu quickly reached out and grabbed her sister.

"You certainly won't, I believe you! But you are too idealistic! What makes you think Zhou Yan won't? Things are different now; this situation is the apocalypse for us! Why should Zhou Yan support two extra people? Because you are pretty?"

Su Yanqiu gripped her sister's small hand, patiently explaining the stakes to her.

"It's not like you don't know that the people outside have all gone crazy! The law can no longer restrain those animals...

The only thing that can protect us is force...

But do you have it? Or do I?

Neither of us has any strength to truss a chicken. By bringing me along, it's not just as simple as him sheltering two people! He needs to provide an extra portion of food! You know how precious food is right now..."

Silence...

After a long while, the younger sister let out a long sigh.

"I'm not a fool, I know what you mean. You're worried he doesn't want to support you for nothing..."

"Don't worry! I have my plan! I have my own intentions for this matter... Don't overthink it! Get some good rest!"

Su Yanqiu rolled her eyes, her eyelids blinking with fatigue.

Seeing her sister drowsy, Su Yanyue tucked her in and turned to leave.

In truth, things were not developing as smoothly as Su Yanyue had claimed.

Because she and Zhou Yan had yet to have any substantial progress!

She sighed, picked up the "nightgown" she had prepared in advance, and slipped into the bathroom...

Zhou Yan heated up some instant rice and canned vegetable puree for the sisters.

They hadn't had any oil or grease for so long that eating meat suddenly would cause diarrhea. Su Yanyue was slightly better off, as her physical condition was stronger, but Su Yanqiu had been running a high fever for days and her body couldn't take the strain.

Looking at the heating stove burning alcohol blocks, Zhou Yan suddenly rubbed his hands together.

He wondered what good things were in that outdoor survival kit gifted by the system.

Let's see what supplies and equipment are inside first! Then I'll open the other blind boxes!

Happily, he ran to the sofa and began to drift into the system.

With a thought, a large backpack appeared in front of him.

He opened it and found it was completely packed; there wasn't even room to put a pack of cigarettes inside!

"What is this?"

One by one, the supplies and tools were taken out.

"Emergency disaster radio, binoculars, waterproof matches, magnesium rod, manual water purifier, first aid kit..."

The disaster radio had batteries, but after tuning through several circles, there was no signal on any channel, so he tossed it aside.

Zhou Yan looked at the white package in his hand: "Are these damn sanitary pads considered emergency supplies?"

"Sleeping bag, navy individual rations..."

"24-pack of disposable underwear?"

"Emergency toilet? Damn, do toilets have emergency versions these days?"

It was a small, foldable pot.

Zhou Yan was speechless; after all, he lacked manners. Everywhere he went, he thought: as long as you don't look up, it's everywhere...

Seeing such a civilized device for the first time, he couldn't react for a moment.

"Heating stove, alcohol blocks..."

"Not bad! There's actually a Bull obstacle-clearing knife? My favorite knife! And a mountain axe and some emergency canned food..."

Zhou Yan picked up the Bull knife, unable to put it down.

"And so many vitamins?"

There was a full floor of items in front of Zhou Yan, along with some small objects and supplies that Zhou Yan couldn't use.

Su Yanyue had finished washing and stood at the bathroom door, staring at Zhou Yan, who had his back to her, with a complex gaze that was slightly resentful yet carried a hint of satisfaction.

He was really such a gentleman! She loved it!

But why was he like a block of wood? She hadn't even closed the door while taking a shower just now!

She had hinted so obviously! And he was still there playing with a knife?

A few strands of her hair were still wet, and she was draped in a layer of sheer fabric—the "nightgown" she had meticulously prepared.

Her perfectly proportioned figure was vaguely visible through the sheer fabric, and paired with her damp, long hair, it was exceptionally alluring.

It was just that due to the long-term lack of vegetable intake, her little face looked a bit sallow.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yan was busy playing with the Bull... the Bull knife, with his back to her.

Hearing the movement behind him, Zhou Yan picked out a few items from the supplies.

"Take these things and use them!"

"What is this?" Su Yanyue curiously examined the pile of survival equipment in Zhou Yan's hands.

When she saw clearly what Zhou Yan was holding, she nodded and reached out to take it; at this time, feminine products were too precious!

Su Yanyue walked up and stared into Zhou Yan's eyes.

The two were very close, and the already "transparent" sheer fabric became even more "sheer" after getting wet from Su Yanyue's body.

It made Zhou Yan feel waves of heat, but Su Yanqiu was in the master bedroom... he could only stare fixedly into the woman's eyes in front of him, using all his might to admire her with his peripheral vision.

Su Yanyue felt a little more confident in her heart.

Not bad, at least he was lecherous.

She didn't want the two sisters to end up like those other women, living without even a shred of human dignity!

The apocalypse had already begun; if their mindset changed too late, the probability of survival would be even lower!

Zhou Yan took out a cigarette, but because the windows in the house were wide open and the wind was strong, it was difficult to light.

Su Yanyue stepped forward, lifted the sheer fabric, and blocked the wind for him.

But she wasn't wearing anything under that layer of sheer fabric...

She didn't care in the least.

As the cigarette was lit, Zhou Yan also saw the scenery shrouded in thin mist, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

It was truly spectacular...

The two figures moved closer and closer, until they were vaguely pressed against each other.
